HUGHES CAN'T SIGN.
Paving Contracts Must Have Signature
of Mayor Green.

No paving contracts can be signed
by Mayor Pro Tenn Hughes In fact
no contracts of any nature can be
signed by the acting mayor who took
hold of affairs today following the de-
parture of Mayor Green at O'Clock
this afternoon for the east.
The dust that has been kicked up
over the paving will settle down now
for all of the paving matters with the
exception of awarding the bids for
some of the tag ends will have to
wait until the return of Mayor Green.
ten days from now. This means that
the question of paving the three north
blocks of Central avenue will lie dor
mant for that period.
One of the first things that the new
mayor will do is to secure moro pic
lures for the council chamber. He
announced this intention today. The
CITY has the beginnings of a picture
gallery in several of the offices at the
city hall and to Mayor Pro Tenn
Hughes belongs the credit for secur-
ing what we have. All of the steel en-
cravings in the office of mayor were
hung there when the Sixth ward man
was mayor several years back.

TWO KANSAS CITY DEPoTs.
Railroads to Be offered an AIterna-
tive Proposition.

Kansas City, Kan.s June "a I'M
ion passenger station to cost at least
100000.
Two passenger stations, each to
cost $4,000, if the union station can
not be built
The request of the Mercantile club
for new union station in this city
which is to be filed with the state
board of railway commissioners next
week, will embody both the foregoing
propositions
There is some doubt if all the rail-
roads can be brought together in one
depot owing to the manner in which
they enter the city. If the roads use
this as an argument against a union
passenger station the state board will
be asked to compel them to esta blish
two depOtS; a north" one to be near
the foot of Minnesota avenue for the
use of the lines that enter that part
of the city and a south" depot near
Armstrong for the use of the lines
entering by the Kaw valley.
The board is to be asked to make
every effort to have a union passenger
station built near the present Arm
strong depot of the Union Pacific.
This is thought to be the location fav-
ored by most of the roads and it is
nearest to the center of population of
the city. If the union station project
cannot be put through the second pro-
position Is to be taken up.

Candidacy for Governor.

W. J. Fitzgerald, lieutenant governor
of Kansas, and one of the men whose

is in Topeka today on his way to Kan

gerald added the word yet"
but soon - was suggested.

City man. THE fact is, 1 don't care to

GOSSIP ABOUT HARTMAN.
Wall Street Hears New Rumors OF the
Magnate'S Retirement.

New York. June 29.-Reports that
Harriman's activities in the railroad
and financial world are to be curtailed
seriously keep cropping up in Wall
street in spite of denals. Today it was
said Hartman soon would take an eX-
tended European trip and before start
ing would retire president of the
Union and Southern Pacific railroads
and from the 90 directorates to which
he belongs
At the time of the March stock mar
ket panic 1t was declared positively that
Morgan and the Rockefellers had decid-
ed to eliminate Hartman from the rail-
road world. but since that time Harri-
man has been more dominant than
ever in the affairs of his railroads and
has been reelected president of the
Southern Pacific. The only direction In
which his power has been lessened has
been his elimination from the Chicago
& Alton railroad. When 1t was learned
a few weeks ago that the federal adj
ministration had decided not to prose-
cute Hartman. Wall street believed
the president had reached his decision
because he had been informed by high
financial powers that Hartman soon
would cease to be a leader in railroad
affairs.
Today's- report was that Hartman
would retire president of the Union
and Southern Pacific. but would be
made chairman of the boards of both
roads.

BOOKS TOO HEAVY.
Coburn's Reports Can't Be Mailed to
Foreign Country.

Secretary F. d. Coburn has struck
an unexpected snag in mailing out
copies of his biennial report to Amer
lean consuls and others IN foreign
lands. The book weighs over 4 u
pounds, and can't be transported in
the foreign mails. Forty copies of
the book, sent to San Francisco for
transportation to foreign countries.
were held UP at the San Francisco
notified to send 40 cents postage for
the return of each book. or the books
would be destroyed. Mr.. Coburn took
the matter up with the postmaster
general, in an effort to secure the
transportation of the books to their
destinatio but failed to secure favor
able action. The books will have to
be returned to Topeka, and no copies
can be sent to foreign countries by
mail.
Whatever copies of the biennial are
sent out of the state will have to be
sent by express, and this will cost
several dollars per copy. 1t will be
necessary for foreigners to pay this
expense.
Mr.. Coburn feels that the state will
lose a good deal by its ina ability to
place the books in foreign countries,
where they are used for reference, and
are the means of bringing settlers to
Kansas.
AS an example of the demand for
the Coburn reports in foreign coun-
tries, it might be mentioned that this
morning Mr.. Coburn received a re-
quest for a couple of copies of the
Corn book" from the American con-
sui in the Leeward islands, which are
situated southeast of Porto Rico, and
enclose the Caribbean sea.

OVERCHARGE IS FOUND.
Not Quite Three Hundred Yards of
Pavement Short.

Measurements of the paving on JEFF
ferson street between Sixth and
Eighth avenue to Tenth avenue, show
Eighth evenue to Tenth avenue, show
that 2SS square yards of paving doe
not exist which it is stated that the
city paid for.
One hundred and thirty-seven
square yards is on Jefferson street and
ono hundred and fifty-one on Lane
street.
w. A. Harshbarger, who is max
ing the measurements for the city,
completed his work on Western ave-
nue. this noon.
Four streets have now been checked
over. Clay street from Tenth avenue
to Central park, was checked over the
first thing and nothing was discovered
here to indicate that an excess yard
age had been paid for and unac-
counted.
Mutations in the field book of the
engineering department attempt to ex-
plain the excess yardage on Jefferson
street by crediting 1884 square yards
to repairing Western avenue and the
relaying of brick on Thirteenth and
Clay streets where the pavement was
damaged, it is said. while being laid
by a sewer excavating machine.
1t is claimed that the excess yard
age was allowed on jefferson street
because the repair work was done
after the estimates had been allowed
on the two streets repaired and in or
der to make payment it was included
In the Jefferson street estimate.
An explanation to account for some
of the excess yardage on Lane is given
to cover 65.3 yards.

GEORGIA CENTRAL's FATE.
Will Soon Pass to the Control of Rock
Island Interests.


Island Interests.
New York, June 29.-The control
of the Central of Georgia railroad,
which was purchased on Wednesday
by Oakleigh Thorne and Marsden j.
Perry, Will eventually pass to the Rock
Island-Frisco interest if predictions
founded. It was said that Messrs.
Thorne and Perry purchased the Cen
trail of Georgia with an understanding
between themselves and the Rock Is
land interests that formal control of
the road should pass to the St. Louis
& San Francisco after the expiration
of the two years during which the
present holders of the road have
agreed to keep it as an independent
line.
1t was pointed out that close rela-
tons have existed between Mr.. Thorne
and B. F. Yoakum, who is the guiding
land-Frisco systems. Mr.. Yoakum is
director in the Trust company of
America, of which Mr.. Thorne is
president, and in other ways Mr..
Thorne and Mr.. Yoakum have CO.
operated in business undertakings.
The St. Louis & San Francisco now
has line into Birmingham, Ala. and
at that point it connects directly with
the Central OF Georgia, whose lines
run from Birmingham, from Mont
gomery and from Chattanooga to the
coast at Savannah. In addition to
obtaining this outlet to the Atlantic
seaboard the Frisco, in acquiring the
Central of Georgia, would come into
control of a large amount of traffic
originating in the territory served by
the Central of Georgia.

UNDER A CANVAS TENT
The Lewis Big Tent Show Comes to
Mitchell Next Monday for Three
Days Engagement.

Owing to the fact that the two
~circuses have either covered or con-
tracted for all of the available bill
posting space in the city, as we'll as
the store windows, the A. S. Lewis
Big Tent Shows, which open here
for a %three-day engagement Monday,
June 18th, are unable to do their
usual advertising.
However, the fact that this novel
entertainment is so vastly different
from the other two shows billed, and
also that it comes so highly recon-
mended, will probably be a sufficient
guarantee to insure them just as big
crowds as If every wall in the city
proclaimed their coming.
There is no question about the
merit of the show, as the press no.
tees speak of it in the highest terms,
and in another place in this issue a
guarantee is given which states that
if at any time during the perform
ance, patrons are dissatisfied, they
can step. to the box Office and get
their money.
The show is given under a large
circus tent with seats for 1900 peo-
pie, and will be embellished with an
abundance of excellent music by the
famous Lewis band and orchestra,
Mitchell amusement lovers will no
doubt greet Mr.. Lewis and his big
company with a packed tent Monday
night.
