ODESSA PICNIC A SUCCESS
Modern WOOdmen Carry Out Program in
Good Style MiShap to Fireworks.


The Odessa Woodmen gave their
Annual picnic last Saturday. Every
thing that goes with picnic was
there in abundance. The edibles
were probably the best ever enjoyed
at any picnic; the boiled ham was the
kind that makes one wish for more
even after the limit is reached. The
fried chicken, salads, cakes and pies
were in abundance and of such quail ty
as the ladies of Odessa and vicinity
are famous for making.
Several speeches we're made. The
Warrensburg band enlivened the day
by their playing. Their selections
were all appropriate and well rem
dered.
In all the picnic could not have
been more of success and the
Woodmen are to be congratulated in
the manner in which the affair was
conducted.
The one regretable feature was the
fireworks display. The material was
late in coming and just as the sky
rockets were started spark got into
the pile and set off the whole works.
A general pandemonium resulted, but
no one was badly hurt.

HIS REPORT
ReiterateS What K. c.
Post Says About Mis-.
souri, PacifiCTrackS.
BRANCH BAD
Rotten Ties, Broken Angle Bars, Lack of
Ballast, Too Much Grass Along
the Line.

Railroad and Warehouse Commiss-
ioner John A. Knott filed his report
in regard to the Missouri Pacific
tracks on the Lexington branch
Thursday at Jefferson City. AS was
expected his report raped the Mis-
souri, Pacific hard
Following is an extract of the re-
port:
Formal complaints having been filed
in the Office of the commissioner in
Jeife son City Of the unsafe condition
of the Lexington branch of the Miss
ouri Pacific railroad, Idevoted Fri
day and Saturday, September ID and
IA, to an inspection of the roadbed
from Sedalia to Lexington walking
many miles of the track.
The track from Sedalia to Sweet
Springs has had recent attention, but
soma of the road is yet grass-grown
and many bad ties remain. Ditching
and ballastingare needing in the cuts,
and judging from the portions of the
track which walked many angle bars
need replacing between these points.
My observations over that portion
of the track over which | walked in
dicate the road to be in deplorably
bad condition
He then gives in detail a multitude
of def cts he found along the line.
Especially numerous are flaws be-
tween Higginsville and Lexington.
He sums up his report and makes
recommendation as follows:
The track between Higgiasyilie
and Lexington has been almost molly
neglected. Between these points |
passed six regular section men. In
order to ascertain the condition Of
the angle bars it was necessary to
part the grass from them. The track
is almost completely grass-grown and
with the large number of broken an-
gle-bars. injured rails and b d ties /
consider his track in an exceedingly
dangerous condition, and recommend
that the company he notified to put
this track in first class, safe condition
within 60 days and that during re-
pairs, trains be operated at speed
not exceeding six miles an hour, that
the speed between Sedalia and Sweet
Springs be reduced to 20miles an
hour and between Sweet Springs and
Higginsvile 10 miles an hour, unit
all broken angle oars and injured rails
are replaced and new ties provided
in place of the docayed and broken
ones, and the track cleaned so that
the engineer can see any dangerous
places. The right-of-way of the en-
tire branch Is weed.grown and ever
cut needs attention.

Beats All Previous Per-
fOrmanceS In First
Days Attendance.
lSS PUPILS ENROLLED
More Coming in On Every Train-Year's
Attendance Should be 200
Extensive Improvements.

Wentworth Military academy en-
tered upon its twenty-eighth school
year Thursday under the most au-
spicious conditions OF course, it
followed the pace set by Lexington
College and Central College by break
ing all previous records in the first
DAVIS attendance. Practically all of
the old boys are already back. Unlike
the girls they always want to get to
towna day or two before the begin
ming of school. They like Lexington
anu Can always Ggure On spending a
few days pleasantly before the school
takes up, s'nce they are not
placed under restrictions until school
begins.
Ever since the early part of last
week boys have been coming in on
every train. Yesterday there had
reported for duty l3O boarders and 2S
day pupils, making a total of 1873.
Before the end of next week it is
expected that this number will reach
1856. the total enrolment of last
year. The total enrolment of this
year should run close to 200.
During the summer great many
improvements have been made on
the campus. The old orchard of Col.
r. A. Hicklin's former residence has
been removed, making a material
addition to the drill ground and ath'
letic field. Three gridirons for foot
ball have been laid out. Two of these
intersect, but there will be adequate
space for six teams to practice. The
main gridiron will be the old one.
The Hicklin residence has beer
treated to coat of the most brilliant
red paint and converted into Z
Students club house. The southwest
room has been fixed up as trophy
room. In this are the collection
of Indian relics-one Of the best in
the state and athletic souvenirs
Another has been fixed up as read
inc ro IN, in which all the leadin G pc
riodicals will be Kept, and another as
pool room. Capt, Day will have
Studio in the east room.
The entire interior of the Cd bar
racks has been renovated aud sani
tary conditions immeasurably i'm
proved. The two large school room
have been joined together, making
good sized chapel. The small boy
will be segregated and put in!o tn
east barracks. The former manua
training room will be the schoC
room for the grammar department
and all the small boys will be unde
the charge of one teacher.
The new building is rapidly near
ing completion. The living room
are already occupied and the recit;
tion rooms will be ready for use in
few days. The basement which is t
contain large room to be used as
gymnasium and dance hall, will nj
be completed for several weeks. Th
porch, too, is unfinished
The faculty is much larger than
was last year. Nearly every man
it is an athlete and six are ex-caI
tains of collegefoot ball teams
The cadets all seem to be in GOO
spirits and there is less nostalg
among the new students than ev'
before. Everything indicates mo
successful year in all respects f
