COSTLY RAZORS.
Some Gold Handled That Sell for 100
Handles of Silver and Ivory.


If a man were content to shave hlm-
self with a razor having g hard rub
Der handle, as indeed most men are.
he could buy one with u blade OF ex-
cellent quality for a dollar: but there
are razors far more expensive than
this.
Thus there are sold azors with nan
dies of IS karat gold, and of PLAIN
smooth finish that bring $50 each-a
pair of such razors in a plain silver
box can be bought for 800.
But $50 is not the limit of what one
may pay for a gold-handled razor. II
the handle were deliberately chased its
cost might mount up to twice that, or
5000 for Il pair.
There are also silver among those
nor expensive silver handled 2
which range in price for from $3.50 to
$50 each; $3.50 being the price for
one with Il plain silver handle, while
those more costly have their handles
more or less deliberately chased or
carved.
A mar who did not altogether like
a hard rubber handled razor might
find his fancy suited with II having
a handle of ivory, and an ivory han
died razor need not necessarily be ex-
pensive: a razor with a plain IVORY
handle can be bought for 81. OF course
any carving would add TO the cost.
Costly raZors are unusually sold for
gifts

Ancient Granary In India.

AGAINST NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Hutchinson Asks the Legislature Not
/ to Establish State Salt Plant.


Hutchinson. Kan. Feb. A meet
ing OF the Commercial club of this city
Was held Saturday night to protest
against the proposed establishment of
state salt plant at the Kansas indus
Tial reformatory here. The following
Fesolution was adopted and will be
sent to the members of the legislature.
Be it Resolved, That it is the sense
of this Commercial club that while we
invite the investment of any amount
of private capital in said industry, we
do most earnestly protest against said
proposed legislation, for the following
reasons:
1T would be keeping bad faith
with this community, which is directly
interested in this industry, and whose
citizens have heretofore given out of
their private means the valuable real
estate On which the state industrial
reformatory is located and which has
since quadrupled in value by reason
or growth up about said Institution of
a thriving city, largely built UP by this
very industry
THE benefits to be derived by
the state at the expense and loss of the
communities. tributary to these exist
ing industries would be of such trifiing
amount that the people at large would
not feel or appreciate such benefits.
because it would establish a
precedent for the state to engage in
competition with other established
and existing private industries in the
state.

AN ENGLISHMAN'S DEFY
s. F. Edge Issues Such a Chal-
lenge to Charles Jarrett.
New York Motorists Doubt the
Feat Possible.

New York. Feb. As. F. Edge has
challenged Charles Jarrett to meet him
In a twenty-four hour auto race in
England in an effort to prove a touring
car; can be driven at the rate of sixty
miles an hour for that length of time.
Many divergent views are expressed
in England to the possibility CT per-
forming such a feat and mahy objec7
lions have been lodged against the as
serti0n that such a test on a prepared
track will demonstrate correctly the
capacity of the cars engaged for ordi-
nary road work. The Brooklands track
will be a smooth, well banked oval,
three miles in length, designed to fur
nish ideal conditions for the running of
auto races 1t is now under construc-
ton and the contractors hope to have
it completed and ready for use in May.
Edges challenge to Jarrett means a
continuous drive of at least LAO miles
at a rate approximating that attained
in the great annual road races in this
country and France. The challenge
followed Mr.. Jarrott's expression of
disbelief that the feat could be per-
formed and that New York motorists
voiced similar views, contending that
physical exhaustion would prevent a
driver from holding a steering wheel
continuously in a run of LAO miles.

PRETTY BOLD ROBBERS.
Hold Up Nine Men in the Santa Fe
Depot at FrOntenac.

Frontenac, Kan. Feb. 4.-One of
the boldest hold-ups and attempted
robberies in the history of Crawford
county occurred at F'rontenac Satur-
day in which nine men were relieved
of their watches and money and an
attempt made to blow open the safe OF
the Santa Fe depot.
The robbers, of whom there were
either three or five, escaped with their
booty. The first intimation of the
presence of the robbers came when
shots were fired through the two front
windows of theNdepot. The night dis
patcher was at work when the first
shots were fred. He went to the
window where the engine crews reg
lister to see what the trouble was. By
that time two men had entered the
depot with drawn revolvers with the
order to throw up their hands. Their
order was at once complied with, not
only by the depot force but also by the
members of a train crew which was
in the depot at the time.
The robbers, who varied in numbers.
according to the statement of the vic
Tins, from three to five, went through
the pockets of all present, securing
three gold watches and IS in cash.
They attempted to break open the
depot safe but were frightened away
by the arrival of another train crew.

A REUNION OF KANsANs.
Baker University Crowd Meet With
DR.. end Mrs. NIurIin i'm Chicago.

DR.. and MIS-. MurHn LII Cnicago.
Baldwin. Kan, Feb. 4.-On January
29th a Baker university reunion was
held in Chicago in honor of President
and Mrs L. H. Murlin. Sam McRob-
erts was master of ceremonies. There
were fifty people present, either
Bakeries or connected with Bakeries
in one way and another. Speeches
were made by DR.. w. A. Quayle. DR..
F. M. Randall. and President L. H.
Murlin, all we'll known to Kansas au-
diences. DR.. Quayle and DR.. Randall
were both raised and educated in
Kansas. In Kansas they grew into
the Methodist church in which they
are among the most noted men today.
DR.. Murlin gave a good idea of the
present and future work of Baker
university.
The Baker people were glad to have
DR.. and Mrs. Murlin with them as
they are popular among the old time
students as well as among the present
generation.
The programme was varied and
lively. The Sunfiower state was hon
ored as we'll as half a hundred of it's
admiring sons and daughters could
honor it. The only thing wrong about
the whole affair was that it was held
in a building just across Michigan
avenue from the lake. and not in
Kansas. ~
The crowd unanimously voted to
have the affair repeated on January
29th, 1908. So it will be. President
Murlin promised to be there on that
date, too. if he is alive then, He
looked healthy enough and so his
presence is reasonably sure.

VIII Look After the Ryan-Barry Con-

Hot Springs. Ark. Feb. 4.-Both
principals of the Ryan-Barry contest,
billed before the local club for Tues
day night. are in the city. Tommy
Ryan says he is in as good condition
as in the old days when greeted as the
worlds middleweight' cha NIPPON. Ryan
states he has improved the two years
spent on his Benton Harbor farm, and
will start a vigorous campaign to clear
up the middleweight title, beginning
with the twenty-round go with Barry.
Ryan has fought several times in Hot
Springs and won every match. His
last bout here was a victory in seven
rounds over Cyclone Kelly. Barry will
have the best of the scales by several
pounds, and has many supporters, who
are relying on his California and
Honolulu records. Barry's age is in
his favor, and he is apparently in fine
condition. Both men are hard at
work, and each admits the widely di-
vergent advantages of the other
George Siler, who will referee the
match, wired Manager Mckee today
that he would arrive here today and
witness the opening Of the OaklaYn
races.

Story of How the Topeka Player Was
Fooled in Chicago.

Dave Jones tells this one: I'VE We're
playing in Chicago years ago and the
game was close and interesting. All the
players were bending to their work with
a will. In the seventh inning Dick Cooley
hit the ball on a line for my field. 1t was
q smashing drive and 1 started to run as
the ball left the bat. had a long run for
st and barely reached the ball to gather
II in with one hand. AS 1t landed in my
hand Cooley turned first base. He
glanced in my direction and seeing me
still running he dug out for second, think
ing the ball had passed me. as had been
unable to slow down all at once When
saw the joke kept on running, too
Cooley turned second, saw me still run
ming and he sorinted for home. He
glanced back and saw me throw the ball
to an inf7elder to relay it in Cooley
passed third at his best speed and flew
down the line. making a grand slide over
the plate, where. the catcher, who had
tumbled to the situation, was standing
with arms outstretched as though to take
the throw. How that crowd did yell as
Cooley landed on the plate in a cloud of
dust. Fans stood up and laughed till they
cried. Cooley arose and brushed his
clothes before starting to the bench. The
crowd kept cheering and he doffed his
hat and smiled broadly It wasn't until
he had reached the bench that he learned
that the ball had been caught Sore2 Say,
he would hardly speak to me during the
rest of the series.
