CATTLE RAIsERs KICK.
Insist on the Enforcement of the Stock
Transit Law

Enid, Okla, Aug. 2S.-Suit has been
filed in the district court by United
States District Attorney Embry against
the Rock Island railroad. charging vio-
lation of the federal statutes fixing the
time limit in which stock can be trans
ported without food or water. The
petition alleges that on January 80,
1907. Colbert & Co. of Tishomingo
place to Enid, arriving at the point of
destination February 2, having been en-
route seventy-ni hours and that the
hogs had no food or water during that
time.
This is the first legal action that has
been taken to enforce obedience to the
shipping regulations. Charges of a
similar nature were filed with the in
terstate commerce commission nearly
a year ago, but no results were an
nounced. 1t is understood that the
cattle raising interests of the territory
are behind the present action.

EXTENDING SIGNAL SERVICE.
Rock Island VIII Have Automatics on
$50 Miles.

Chicago, Aug. 28.-Up to the beginning
of 1906 the Rock Island had only about
ten miles of automatic signals, and
these all on the Chicago Terminal di-
vision. There were few scattered sig
nails east of Joliet, protecting danger
spots, but this could not strictly be
called a perfect block system There
were also signals at one or two other
isolated spots, but one location had no
connection with the other.
Early in 1906 authority was issued for
the installation of automatic block sig
nails as far as Bureau, lis miles from
Chicago, and giving about los miles of
protection above that already in. This
work has been going on, and signals
are now in service as far as Utica, 95
miles from Chicago.
Since the first authorization 1t has
been decided to extend the installation
over all of the double track to Iowa
City, on the Iowa division, and to Mus
catine, on the Missouri division
Work is also under way on the Kan
sas division from Topeka to Harrington.
This is a very busy section of track,
and the signals will greatly improve the
operating conditions in that region
All this work will make a total of
$50 miles of automatic signals 270 of
double track and 80 of single track. This
will put the road we'll up toward the
front among the western roads for
mileage of automatic block.
The 20 miles of double track of the
Union Pacific between Kansas City and
Topeka which is used by the Rock Is
land is also protected by automatic
block signals.
In addition to the automatic work,

GERRY" Takes a Lonesome Trip From
Pratt to Hutchinson

When H. A. Turkle, formerly a
guard at the state reformatory, who
lived at 701 Avenue B east, drove
overland to Meade county. Kansas,
about a month ago, accompanied by
his son. they took with them their
dog Jerry" who had been a family
pet for number of years. When they
were near Pratt they lost the dog.
Mrs. Turkle and baby had been visit
ing in Hutchinson and thinking that
he could probably find them here, the
dog wandered back to the old home.
Mrs. Turkle went by train after
spending a week with relatives at
Marion.
After a months time had elapsed
the dog arrived in Hutchinson. Sat
urday morning neighbors found it at
the old home. Jerry was gaunt look
ing and worn out, but the fellow still
remembered his old friends. He has
been taken care of the past few days
and Mr.. Turkle has been notified
Jerry will probably be sent to Meade
county in a few days by express.
Mr.. Turkle bought a half section of
land near Meade about two years ago
and the family now make their home

vance Board so Cents a Week.
Cause OF the Trust Is the High
Prices of Groceries.
HAVE TO DOIT TO LIVE
For Years Meal Tickets Have
Been Sold for So. so Each.
University Students Will Note
Difference This Winter.

Lawrence, Kan, Aug. 2s.-LAw-
renee is in the grip of a restaurant
trust. The trust has advanced board
from $3.50 per week to $500 per
week, and there is no relief by go
ing to another restaurant, because all
the restaurants that are worth while
are in the agreement.
For years the price of a meal ticket
in Lawrence has been $3.50. All the
reputable restaurants have charged
that, and the downtown people who
board are used to paying it. Some
time ago one restaurant decided to
charge separately for its big dinner on
Sunday The reason given was that
the dinner cost the house more than the
16 rs cents that a hole in a meal ticket
represented, so 1t was ruled that meal
tickets were not good on Sunday din
ners. The boarderes kicked, but did
not leave. Now the separate fee for
Sunday dinner holds. and the meal
ticket, good on all other occasions, is
hiked an even fifty cents.
There isn't any combine; we just
got together and raised the price -
said one member of the trust
The great advances in the cost of
provisions, meats and fruits are given
as the reason for the increase.

Lawrence, Kan.s Aug. 2s.-Acting

of Lawrence that the city water here
was impure and inimical to the health
of the people of Lawrence, DR.. S. j.
Crumbine, secretary of the state board

AS result of this examination he

Lawrence at its meeting next week,
with Chancellor Strong of the Univer-
sity of Kansas and a delegation of
Lawrence citizens, to demand that the
water company provide adequate IA
cilities to provide the city with pure

the presence of city sewerage. The
report stated that while the typhus
germ was not present in the water a
single case, with the water in its
present condition, might start an epi-
demic which would sweep the town.
This analysis was made by the Column
bus laboratories which the city health
officer of Chicago recommended as
authority upon the subject and
The results of this analysis were
placed before Mayor George Barker
Immediately, but he declined to act.
Colonel Harris and others interested
IN the pure water crusade then called
on Secretary Crum bine yesterday who
will ask the council to take imme-
date action toward remedying the de-
fects in the system.
The trouble in the water supply lies
in the insufficient number of wells and
wells are pumped to the utmost ca
pacity to supply the normal demands
OF the city. For any long continued
dry spell or an emergency whatever.
the company pumps water from the
river directly into the mains. 1t is
this water from the river that the
analysis showed to be 50 badly con-
taminated.
Just at present the company is COM
planning of the demands of the city
upon the wells, but a crusade has been
started to force the company to put in
a sufficient number of wells and to in
stall pumping facilities so that the city
may be safe from the use of river wa
ter at any time.
