clgarmakina in Prison Abolished.

Through the efforts of organized la
Dor, the manufacture of cigars in Mar
quette prison is to be abolished.
Though many of those who have
sampled the product have believed for
a long time that the. institution had
outlived it's usefulness, it was not
until after several years agitation. ex-
pensive law suits with, and petitions
to the authorities, that the reform has
been accomplished.
The cigar contract expires the first
81 che year, but the contractors have
been given four months grace to wind
up business. The manufacture of CT
gars will continue until just before the
expiration of that time, and then the
convicts who have been making cigars
will begin the manufacture OF over
alls. The board of control of the pris-
on has let the contract covering the
cnen now employed by the Franklin
Cigar Co. to L. S. Shower, who for
some years has been overall contrac-
tor at the prison.

chsraes Three Cent Fares.

Complaints have been made to the
state railroad commission that the
Chicago, Kalamazoo & Saginaw rail
road has been charging a three cent
fare since the two cent fare law took
effect. Its earnings have been under
$1,000 per mile, which would entitle
it to the higher fare, but as its stock
is owned by the Michigan Central and
Lake Shore railroads, in equal proper.
ton, it has been contended that the
road should be considered a part of
these systems and subject to the two
cent regulation. The railroad commits
sion has decided that such a construc.
ton cannot be placed on the law and
the road will be permitted to collect
the three cent fare

whaIeback Boss, turkish Admiral.

Here's a bit of real life in a comic
opera setting:
Commodore Ransford d. Buchanan,
at one time head skipper on one Of
John ID. Rockefeller's whaleback
steamers on the Great Lakes, has
been promoted to the rank of rear
admiral in the Turkish navy, with
the title of pasha.>
Buchanan, who used TO live in Wor-
cester, Mass, where the odor of the
salt waves was ever in his nostrils,
has followed the sea since he was a
lad of 16-except for such time as he
piled to and fro on the lakes. He
happened to get in with the Turkish
navy through his connection with the
Cramp Construction Co., taking the
cruiser Abdul Medjidieh to CONSTANT
nople. after her completion at the
Philadelphia yards. He began to take
interest in things Turkish-especially
their queer nautical ways, and realized
that he could teach them a trick or
two. This he did, in an insidious, I'M
obtrusive way, until it was realized
that he was a valuable man, and they
snapped him up at a good price.

THE Two CENT Fare,
lou viii Not Get. the Benefit Of Il I'm.
less You Buy a Ticket.

Railroad conductors say that
many passengers fail to buy
tickets. This has been the case
for years, in fact about always.
Even since the two cent fare or
der went into effect some people
get in the trains without a ticket,
paying the conductor.
Some roads make a charge of
ten cents extra when the fare is
paid in cash to the conductors,
that official giving a receipt for it
which can be cashed at any tickle t
office of the company.
But recently there has been
some talk that the railroads might
be allowed to collect penalty of
q certain sum per passenger who
fails to buy a ticket before he
gets in the train. There has Teen
talk that the roads would be
allowed to charge ten cents more
than the two cent fare and retain
this much for the trouble caused.
If this is done it will either
cause a good many people who
pay cash in the trains now to buy
tickets or it will make the rail
roads some money. The Wichita
Eagle makes figures showing that,
at the present rate. the passengers
who fail to buy tickets would pay
to the reads a sum that would be
possibly equal to $40. 600
month.
The rate of fare of two cents q
mile is low rate. People trave
ing should take advantage of this
and buy tickets before entering q
train. The boards order can On
" be thoroughly tested in this
way, Kansas people want to get
al of the good possible out of the
new fare plan and it is hoped that
so many cash fares will not be
paid that it will cause another or
der from the BOARD which would
require an added rate of fare fol
the people to pay in the trains in
stead of buying a ticket of the
ticket agent.
Local railroad ticket men say
there seems to be no increase il
the number of peope travelling at
this time of the year and that the
lowering of the rate of fare has
not caused extra travelling up tc
this time. One ticket man salt
that travel was slower now than i
was at this time last year. as ia
as local tickets were con ceTned.
