ESKRIDGE TAKES ACTION
Grants al Franchise to Topeka-South-
western Railway.

Eskridge, Kan. Nov. Sat regular
meeting of the city council last night a
franchise was granted the Topeka
Southwestern Railway company through
the city of Eskridge. By unanimous
vote the company was allowed the use
of Pine street, one of the principal
streets of Eskridge. Pine street runs
southwest and northeast and gives the
Topeka Southwestern free right of way
through Eskridge with the exception or
the home of John Peters in the south
ern suburbs, and Mr.. Peters generously
donated the right of way through this
tract, although the road runs through
his front yard, parallel with the street.
Since Mr.. Herbert, as president OF the
construction company. attached MS
signature to the grading contract for
the first II miles, secured by Maxwell
& Denton of Topeka. every doubt has
been removed from the minds of any
who were in doubt as to whether the
road would be built, and everybody in
this community is for the new road
Notwithstanding the fact that Eskrides
has north and south outlet to the
main line of the Rock Island a Alma
on the north and the Santa Fe main
line at Burlingame on the south, there
is no direct communication with To-
peka. Eskridge is one of the best bust
ness towns in the state and is tired OF
being isolated from the busy martS Of
trade on account of poor railroad con-
veniences. The territory through which
this road passes between Topeka and
Council Grove is rich in products as We'll
as years. 1t opens up communication
to the capital of the state for a vast
volume of business that has been going
to other markets on account of railroad
facilities. Topeka should be grateful 70
her Commercial club, through w. L.
Taylor and his associates for their bull
dog tenacity and perseverance in sue
cessfully promoting this, road and get
ting it financed by such people as
Lamprecht Bros & Co. in1face of fool
ish anti-railroad legislation and ad-
verse conditions in general against rail-
road building.
Notwithstanding the fact that it takes
two days to make a trip to Topeka and
return a goodly sized delegation of rep
resentative Eskridge citizens will at
tend the ceremonies of the Commercial
club the 14th when the first dirt viii
be moved in the construction of the
new road
Mr. w L. Taylor. president of the
road was at the council meeting last
night and was greatly pleased with the
encoura cement and enthusiasm extend
ed to the new road by Eskridge citizens
and the community IN general. [FT

SUNSHINE BUT STRONG WIND.
Weather Continues to Be Pleasant as
Could Be Desired.

The weather today is of the same varie-
ty as Topeka has experienced during the
past few days with the exception that the
wind has assumed about three times the
velocity. The sky is generally cloudless
and there is an abundance of sunshine.
Outside of the wind the day is a very de-
iehtful one.
For tomorrow the same weather, minus
the wind, will prevail. The wind is ex-
pected to die down tonight and tomorrow

eter will descend little lower than last
same point reached on the thermometer

extension. The damage to Mr..
Randolph's reputation has been
judicially settled; a court of COM
petent jurisdiction having placed
it at one big round simoleon-
otherwise known as one dollar.
Under the South Dakota statutes.
this will entitle Mr.. Randolph
to collect one dollar more for
costs and disburseme nts-in
other words, two dollars settles
the bill for his busted and warped
reputation, while Mr.. Randolph
and his hackers pay the freight.
If this be vindication it comes
mighty high. The two dollars
that Mr.. Randolph will get .has
been estimated to be about the
price of two bushels Of barley.
The A class in arithmetic will
now go to the blackboard and
find the solution to the following
problem; If two dollars will buy
two bushels of barley, how many
bottles of beer will the barley
make, and how much would it
fetch at Deadwood at fifty cents
a bottle, and how much would
the rake off, be?
