The fans who saw yesterdays game
failed to see where the Wichita. team
had any the better of the locals from
any standpoint of the game. Even with
the great Cy Young in the game the
locals were able to get away well at
the bat and in fielding and inside work
the locals had the Jobbers bested at
every turn. Buck Weaver is the brains
of the whole team.

man in this league. He came from
Terre Haute where he played last sea-
son and was at one time catcher Tor
the st. Louis team in the National
league. He is not the old Buck Wea-

MUST COMPLETE LINE.
Otherwise Orient Will Forfeit Sedg-
wick County Bonds.

Wichita, Kan. Dec 4.-Hundreds
of tons of steel and scores of track
layers are being concentrated by the
Orient railway at Dill City, Okla, in
track from Dill City to the North
Fork of the Red river. twenty-nine
miles.
1t is said that unless the Orient has
it's line completed and trains running
from Wichita to the Red river Janu-
airy 1, 1908, it will forfeit the $4,000
worth of bonds voted by Sedgwick
county a few years ago to aid the
Orient in constructing it's line.
1t seems that the Orient had over
looked the fact that the entire line
would have to be completed through
to Red river the first of the year. a
track layers on account of the f1nan-
cial furry.
Now having discovered the fact
that the gap must be completed by the
first of the year, the Orient manage
ment has given orders that all the
men and steel available be concen-
trated and every effort made to COM
plete the twenty-nine mile stretch
from Dill City to the North Fork OF
the Red river. The bonds were voted
contingent upon the line being COM
pleted and trains running through to
the North Fork of the Red river. If
the Orient does not get the gap laid
with track and the bonds are not ex-
tended they will be lost to the Orient
company.
The Orient now has its track COM
pleted from Wichita to Dill City, a
distance of 211 miles. There is also
q section of track built from the
North Fork of the Red river south to
the main stream, a distance of thirty
one miles. This leaves a gap of TWEEN
ty-nine miles of track yet to be laid
from Dill City to the North Fork Of
the Red river.
1t was not intended to lay this Sec
ton of track until next spring and all
the track layers were taken off. The
line was completed to Clinton last
spring, and then on to Dill City, nine
teen miles farther south. about a
month ago. Trains now run from
Wichita to Clinton. When the line is
built through from Wichita to the
North Fork of the Red river, the
Orient will have a continuous line of
track, 271 miles long.
This will be advantageous to Wich-
ita, asAit will open UP to the mer-
chants q rich section of country,
dotted with towns, which will have a
direct train service to Wichita. Wich-
tia will then be in a position to sell
goods in that territory, which has
heretofore been reached in a round
about way.

BUYING COAL EARLY.
The Government Sets an Example for
the Remainder of the Country.

Washington. Dec. ACTING upon
specific orders OF the president, the
war department made every effort in
it's various branches to acquire before
the first of October all of the coal nee

Working at Independence.

Independence, Kan, Dec. 4.-The
starting of the Western Window Glass
company means that rs men, all stock
holders in the plant, will start to work

fire under IL pots. All men employed
in this plant are Independence citizens
and stockholders in the plant.
The output of the plant for the pres

be delivered as fast as it is turned
out. The members of the Western
company are all skilled workmen.
An attempt was made to start the
Fredonia plant with the Simon Burns

ever, that he yearns to play Hamlet.
The part Of that little scalawag,"
Governor William Pitt Shrimp of
South Carolina, is entrusted to hurry
Woods who has been with 1.-THE
Clansman" three seasons. Woods be-
gan his stage career as call boy of
the California Theater and at an early
age he stopped growing. To the latter
fact, in part anyway, he owes his con-
nection with the play, since Shrimp
is as little as he is loud. Aside from
the question of inches, however,
Woods has been with first class or
CARNATIONS all his life, and as the
names Of the great actors of the past
roll off his tongue, one feels hopeless
ly awed and modern. Woods has play

mond, Florence, Fechter, Mayo, Sir
Henry Irving, E. H. Sothern, Mrs.
John Drew, Adelaide Nelson, Fanny
Davenport to name only a few-and
he has a good story to tell of each.
Still in middle life-for he began very
early-this actor is of just the right
age, build and temperament to repre-
sent the typical pompous, long-haired
politician of the late sixties and early
seventies. He was picked for the role
of Shrimp, and it couldn't fit him
more closely if it were custommade.
