FRISCO TO INCREASE SPEED.
Trains in Southeastern Kansas Doing
More Business.

News comes from Pittsburg, Kan,
that the large increase in passenger
traffic along the Frisco in southeastern
Kansas has caused that railway to in
crease the time schedule on a number
of trains over this division
Since the two-cent rate became efeC-
tive traffic along the Frisco has in
creased by leaps and bounds, and the
time allowed for stops at the various
stations on the route was found TO be
too short for the crowds of passengers
to get on and off the trains. As aresuft,
20 accommodate the passengers the.
trains were compelled to make faster
time between all stations. This in
creased the possibilities of wrecks too
great to please the railway officials and
it was recently decided to increase the
time allowance for trains.
The schedule on the principal trains
over this line was therefore increased
so as to allow greater time for stops
at stations and to allow for the in
creased number of coaches which these
trains are now compelled to carry to
accommodate the traffic. All this in
crease in the traffic means necessary
increase in the coaches and an in
creased ba gage accommodation

Wichita. Kan, Oct. 30.-'Red rock

fifty car loads of this material have

from the junction with the Frisco at
Gilbert street to the bridge spanning
the Arkansas river on Bailey street. A
force of thirty men is now engaged in
tamping the material around the ties.
Red rock clay has been found to be
very satisfactory as a ballasting ma

it with success. 1t is cheaper than

said to be verv durable. 1t is a red,

House of Thousand Candles has
lent itself SO admirably to dramatic
construction that it is said to be one of
the most interesting plays. 1t is in
this play that E. NJ. Holland will be
seen at the Grand tomorrow evening.
Mr.. Hollands long service on the stage
is an assurance that his performance
will be worth seeing.
Mr.. David Higgins Will appear at
the Grand Friday IN the fifth edition
of that popular racing drama and
romance, His Last Dollar. which is
now enjoying its fifth successful sea-
son. 1t is the story of the love of
well woven with bright comedy lines
and mirthful situations While David
Higgins is a notable stellar feature in
the company he by no means carries
the entire burden of success for the
incident of the brave Kentucky girl,
Eleanor Downs. who has brought her
dearly loved horse east to race in the
Great Futurity, is woven into the gen.
eraI theme of this American play in a
natural and skillful manner and the
truer side, as we'll as better, of the
racing subject is in this play shown for
the first time on the American stage.
A strong drama well set in five acts Is
the result Of the effort of Mr.. Higgins
and his collaboration, DR.. Cooke, and
the play promises continued life OF
success and popularity. A strong COM
pany will support Mr.. Higgins. includ-
