Difficulties of classification.

A baggage master was called upon
to decide whether a tortoise that was
being taken home By a traveller
could be checked free or came under
the head of animals that had to pay
small addition fee, as dogs did, says
writer In Success. He looked at
the strange creature, the like OF
which he had never seen before, and
brought all his past experience TO
bear on the case. The only rule he
had to go by was the one that said
dogs must pay. for much was left to
the common sense of the baggage
men, and he gave his decision.
"Oi niFer had Z decide on wan av
thin things before, but dogs pays ex-

was also an Irishman. The station

| There has been wailing among this
younger element of Alexander clut

ming pool has been put out OF bust
ness. The swimming pool has been a
popular resort for the boys and after
having enjoyed it for week or so
they have felt the deprivation sorely
during the last few days of extrema
heat
The trouble was hat the designers
of the psol didn't make allowance for
the sportiyeness of the boys. They
forget the days of their own youth.
when they played 'hpoky' from
school TO take a swim in an artificial
ly made pool in a creek under the
generous Lows Of big trees that kept
the sun If their backs. They hal
forgotten how they splashed about
until the dam was washed down and
they were left high and dry or fell to
work like beavers and repaired the
damage before the water had all run

very mich like other healthy and hap

more OF them get into that big basin
of water there is something doing all
of the inie. There's racing and div

wrestling, leap.frog and somersaults,
and the water is churned to foam
and waves three feet high shoot from
one wall up against the other, and
leap over the front Of the basin in
tank fulls, spreading over the cement
floor and standing there several inch

and will be finished by Tuesday when

Cairo H., July 20. 1907.
Editor Of The Bulletin:
wish to Fbmit the following com
pliment to Company X, Of this city:
In all my ten years of service In
the regular army / have never seen
a company Of soldiers act so orderly
during move as did Company X last
night when they started for their an
nual encampment at Springfield. III.
1t is a custom among citizens. when
soldiers move. to present many of
them with bottles Of whiskey. and
soldiers being only humans. many OF
them drink so much they become in
4 xica ed but happily such was not
the case last night with Company X.
with few exceptions there was very
little drinking among the members Of
the company.
Furthermore last night. the com
pany marched to the train and went
aboard in a most excellent manner.
even though many of the men had
friends ana sweethearts on the sta
ion ylatform whom they wished to bid
goodbye.
The conduct II the company last
night was certainly credit to them
selves and their city.
Respectfully submitted.

The Commercial club will issue the
third of it's series of pamphlets next
week, in which are enumerated some
of the advantages offE,ed by Topeka as
a manufacturing center. In this little
booklet will be the names and loca-
tiOnS of lao institutions of the city
which come under the head of fac
tories and whose output for the year
closing December 81, 1906, amounted
to 8,336,076.
Topeka is in it's infancy as a manu-
featuring center, for it has been only
within the past year or so that an
especial effort has been made to secure
institutions of this kind. Prior to this
the price of fuel was such that it was
considered prohibitive by many who
otherwise would have selected Topeka
for their business.
With the advent of natural gas,
which was piped to the city about a
year ago, this objection was overcome,
Creamery company, the greatest insti-
tuition of its kind in the world and a
user of natural gas, says that the use
of gas as a fuel at the present rate
amounts to the same thing as coal at
$1.36 per TOM
Natural gas is piped TO the city from
the southern Kansas fields, which are
the largest known, and the supply is
practically inexhaustible. New wells
are being brought in every day and

price of gas in Topeka is but 10 cents
per 1000 feet for manufacturing pur-
poses. there is no doubt but what it
will remain the fuel of the city for
generations to come. So confident is
the gas company that natural gas is
the cheapest fuel obtainable that they
offer to install burners under boilers
on sixty days free trial, and at the
end of that time remove them, with
out charge, if they have not demon
strated the justice of their claim
The eight Touring mills of the city
keep a continual stream of Kansas
wheat pouring into the city which is
halted for few days and then it is
sent in all directions as Topeka flour.
Much of the product goes directly to
the southern ports where it finds a
market with brokers representing the
markets abroad and eventually lands
on the Others side of the water. 1t is
estimated that the capacity of the
combined mills is between five and six
thousand barrels of flour each work.

The Smith Automobile company,

STOPS REBATES IN FARES.
Commerce Commission Calls Halt on
Western Lines.

Chicago, April 4.-Some of the west
ern railroads have been warned by the
Interstate Commerce commission that
they have violated the act to regulate
commerce by refunding the fares paid
by men making trips to purchase live
stock The railroads promised to re-
fund the price paid for tickets if the
livestock buyer shipped his stock with

MOTORS FOR SALIVA LINE.
Union Pacific VIII Run Two Through
That City.

Salfna, Kan. April 4.-The Union
Pacific will install, in a few days, two
motor trains running from Junction
City to Ellis.
Word has been received at the de-
pot of this coming change. These mo-
tor trains will take the place of the
regular plug trains, Nos. 100 and ITO
now running from Junction City to FL
lis, through Salina.
The time of these trains will not be
changed but it is said that with the
motor trains, Salina will have better
service.
The two particular motor cars that
will operate on this line are now be-
ing completed at the shops in Omaha
and it is said that they will be started
to Junction City in a weeks time. Each
car will make a trip one way each
day.
Ten cars are in construction in the
Omaha shops and it is said that most
of them will come here for use on the
branches.
According to the railroad men, the
motor trains will give much better
service than the plugs. They will run
faster and are fixed up as elegantly
as through passengers. In this way,
the branch lines will soon have up-to-
date passenger trains.

Porto Cortez. Honduras. March %,
via New Orleans. April 4-The inten-
lions of the United States in landing
marines on the Honduras coast and
the evident latitude granted them in
protecting foreign life and property is
exciting much comment here. 1t has
been remarked as especially signiff-
cant that the American landing par
ties, not only here but at Celia and
Trujillo, have in each instance placed
a Hotchkiss gun which they took
ashore with them so as to sweep the
seward approach.
The foreigners believe that this
means the United States will not per-
nit the ports to be bombarded mas
much as 80 per cent of the houses
here and at Ceiba belong to foreigners,
and cannon shot fired into either place
would do most damage to foreign
owned property. 1t Is believed that in
these two ports, Nicaraguan gunboats
will be kept off by the Hotch kiss guns.
