bers Of congress have learned to pay
railroad fare just like ordinary Amer
leans, and it seems they are begin
ming to enjoy the novel experience. One
result of this new sensation is the dis
covery that money can be saved by the
purchase of mileage books, and nearly
every member who travels between
Washington and New York has pur-
chased at least one of these convenient
money savers. The rate of fare, one
way, between the capital and the me-
tropolis has been $3.50 for many years,
while round trip ticket good for ten
days cost $40. Now, however, book
good for one year, which contains 1000
mile slips can be had for $40, and this
book is available for any number OF
persons. Mr.. Congressman who wants
to take his wife to New York for a
month buys one Of these books. takes
his better half and starts. When he
comes back he still has ninetysix miles
available, which is enough to take him
to Baltimore and back, or we'll on his
way to New York again. Those who
have acquired the mileage book habit
are fond Of telling their friends Of the
discovery and each has constituted
himself ticket agent for the railroad
which sells the books.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 2S.-The Kan
sas City Athletic club defeated the
University OF Iowa team last night by
a score Of 35 to %. The game was

tie chance of the Iowans capturing the
heavy end Of the game.
For Iowa, Barton absorbed most of

well. The Iowa team did not pass
the ball as we'll as did their opponents,

minutes Of play was wonderfully fast
and furious Every, man worked with
all he had in him and the spectators
were kept at the highest point of ex-
element.
