formed the conclusion in a second that
this early morning crowd on the cor
ner was proof positive that there was
going to be a run on one of the banks
in the neighborhood.
1t turned out, however, that the
crowd was not running after money in
the banks. but for an opportunity to
spend money for tickets for the Pipe
Organ course.
And from the time the sale started
in the early morning, until we'll into
the afternoon there was more of
crowd on hand all the while than
could be handled expeditiously. There
was no kicking on the part of the
crowd. The individuals in it were
served in order and they seemed well
content to wait until their time came.
The opening event on the course
will be the Jacoby Concert. by
quartet of famous singers. This Is
scheduled for October 16 and Miss
Laura Louis Coombs. the soprano of
the quartet, is starred for this enter
tainment. She is a singer of wide
reputation and with her associates on
the quartet is bound to furnish a mu-
steal treat.
Senator Dolliver of Iowa, is to fur
nish the next number on the course.
His will be a lecture that is bound to
be interesting, If for no other season
than to listen to his forensic abilities.
The date of his lecture is Friday, No
vember 1.

Mr.. WAGNER GLOOMY
says Things Aeok Bad for Railroad
Business in Kansas.

Suits to enjoin the enforcement of
the 2-cent fare order of the board of
railroad commissioners will be filed by
the attorneys for the various railroads
on or before Oct. A." said Bale P.
Waggener, of Atchison, attorney for
the Missouri Pacific today. 81 am
ready to file my suit, and will do so
Asked concerning the effect of the
2-cent fare, Mr.. Waggener said:
The state is facing very serious
crisis. People do not realize the situa-
ton. The facts are, however, that no
road can do any further construction
work in Kansas under present condi-
tions. No road can sell bonds while
such hostility on the part of the public
exists. l am not talking as a railroad
attorney, but as citizen of the state.
The 2-cent fare law will cause a big
reduction in the revenues of railroad
companies. The restriction of ex-
cursion rates, trip passes, and special
rates to certain classes will not offset
the loss. p1@r A1z--. rt
what will be done about the pro-
posed general reduction in freight
rates in this state2'' was asked.
1.-The board will probably order the
reduction" said Mr.. Waggener. What
the railroads wilL&do can't say. There
may be a special session of the legis-
lature called before this is over with.

LEAVENWORTH WAS DARK.
Electric Lights Turned Off for First
Time in Fourteen Years.

Leavenworth, Kan, Oct. 2.-For the
first time in fourteen years Leaven-
worth was last night practically with
out electric lights. Here and there an
isolated light was burning, where spe-
cial arrangements had been made with
the electric light company. but the
great bulk of the town, especially the
residence districts. were in darkness.
Delaware street did not have an cleo
trio light burning. The electric signs
in front of the theaters and the lights
In the show windows of many of the
stores gave the street a reasonab
light appearance early in the evening,
but later on the street became dark
and long before midnight it looked like
the lane of country town.
Shawnee street was also dark On
Fourth street there were a few lights
and one or two on Fifth street, but in
the residence part of the city every
thing was dark and quiet. People
hurried home as early as possible and
there was a marked scarcity of women
and children on the streets after an
early hour in the evening.
Some took the matter as a Joke and
carried lanterns of various kinds. Some
small boys entered into the spirit of the
occasion by coming down town with
"jack-o Lanterns made from pump
kins with a lighted candle inside.

Cleveland. O., Oct. 1.-The first bet of
the campaign, money posted in the

the odds were in favor of Mayor Tom
L. Johnson. The wager was offered by
Kirke D. Bishop, "a manufacturer, who
put up $4,000 in cash against $1,000 that
johnson would defeat Burton for
mayor. The short end was taken by
James w. Holcomb and Richard Palm

HOLIDAY ON PROHIBITION.
Expects to See Time When Liquor Is
Not Sold as Beverage.

The attitude of Councilman Charles
K. Holiday relative to the prohibitory
question according to statement
made to a writer some time ago may
prove a surprise to some of his friends
who in the past regarded him as re-
submissionist. Replying to the ques-
ton as to the success of prohibition in
in Kansas submitted by Arthur Bride
we'll, who is preparing material for
magazine article on the subject, Mr.
Holiday wrote:
Replying to your letter of the 2Sth.
If any man on earth can find any
thing to say in defense of liquor,
would like to know what it is. I am
looked upon as a liberal man but any
one who reads the signs of the times
can readily see that the time is not far
distant when liquor as a beverage
will not be sold in the United States.
The only fault that I have to find with
the prohibitory law in Kansas is that
the permissions to buy for scientific,
mechanical and medicinal purposes to
a great extent nullify the law"

MAY PASS TOPEKA BY.
Circus People Complain of Burdens
Imposed by Council.

"The circuses ought to get together
and give Topeka the cold shoulder"
said a repres entative of the Barnum Il
Bailey shows II am in favor of seeing
the town thoroughly billed and then
giving the performance in a nearby
town, like Lawrence"
The Barnum & Bailey shows are the
first to exhibit here under the increased
license charges when the three ring
circus license was raised from $500 20
$500. The man who came up to pay
the license had a roll of $500 in money
to pay the city. He thought that was
all and when he discovered that S20u
was still due he delivered himself Of
the opinion in the above
H. Ward Page, license collector.
later went to the show grounds and
collected the balance remaining of $500
and also $50 for side show privileges.
The high license scored and the
councilmen who had their hearts in
their Threats for fear that the circus
management would manage to elude
payment in some way were consider
ably relieved.
But there were no complimentary
tickets around the city hall. 1t has
been the custom in the past for each
of the counciImen to receive two tick
cts at least apiece and department
heads were similarity treated, but mo
comps" were handed out and the coun-
cilmen will have to pay their way in.
Following the instructions of the
council, Chief of Police Eaton and
Street Commissioner Snyder picked out
the route for the circus wagons which
was in the interests of preserving the
pavement as much is possible The
wagons were routed up Eighth avenue
as far as Monroe street and down Mon
roe to Fifteenth street, down Fifteenth
to Topeka avenue and from there to
the show grounds. This routing was
followed. THE pavements did not
seem to be much damaged but they
settled a little in one or two places
where the plumbers had excavated,' -
said the street commissioner.

ERIE MAKES GOOD RECORD.

Owing to the recent references to the
slaughter Of helpless victims" the
press agent of the Erie road has sent
out a statement to the effort that be-
tween March l, 1905, and July 81. 1907.
the Erie carried 56.196,153 people and
did not injure fatally single passen-
ger 1.-THE Fries critics are fond OF
calling it Slow it is declared, but the
management has preferred safety to
sDeed. and to that end has a speed
limit on every mile of track. An engi-
neer who runs so miles an hour. where
the schedule fixes 40 as the limit. gets
a vacation without pay. The block sys-
tenn is enforcd with unyielding rigor
and so closely are the movements of
passenger trains watched that the
slightest deviation from the running
rules is punished. We do not run ex-
cursfon trains on single track lines, we
have extended the time of trains that
we thought were too fast and use other
methods that tend to safety and pro-
woke criticism on the part of a few
peopie who do not appreciate the efforts
made to safely transport the public"

POLICE COURT NOTES.

A squad of police met the circus this
morning, and laid out the route to the
fair grounds. The show was unloaded,
just before daylight at the foot of
Eighth avenue, and allowed to stay on
the street up to Monroe, where a blue
coat headed the advance guard south.
At Fifteenth another officer met the
procession and started 1t west, where
it crossed Kansas avenue on slope TO
Huntington or Sixteenth, thence west
to Topeka avenue. Some of the road
was pretty bad, but the circus men
made 10 complaint ard held no grudge
against the police. 1t was announced
be admitted with their wives at the per-
Torrance this afternoon and tonight.
An Indian named Frank Moore and
an Indian woman named Mrs. Sauwie,
members of a party of Pottawatomies
who came down from the reservation
to take in the circus, were arrested last
night while holding street war dance.
The man seemed to be arguing with
the woman that she should go to some
hotel, and she seemed to be Directing
to the full extent of the Pottawatomie
language. Both were saturated with
the liquor which-is no longer sold, and
the police took them in out of the damp
night air. The man was fined SO and
the woman S. in police court this morn
ing. Other members of the Indian bril-
gade took them out of pawn in time to
view the circus.
The first arrest for stealing coal was
made this morning when the officers
caught Hugh Hicks, colored, with
about bushel of fuel in sack. 1t is a
heinous offense to steal coal from the
railroads. and it is a sure sign of cool
weather when, the coal begins to fly.
