Rock Island to Improve Central Kan
sas Service. X

SaS Service. IL
SaIina. Kan, Nov. 6.-The ROCK
island is the first railroad to take &C
tive steps in establishing motor car
service for Salina and according TO
reports this company will install sucn
a service by the 18th of this month:
This information was gwen out TINS
morning by Conductor A. w. Pike,
who runs on the Rock Island passen-
ger between Salina and Herlngton'
and other local officials.
Head officials including Superintend-
ent Rourke of the Kansas division are
in Topeka today arranging for the
schedule of the motor cars. 1t is quite
probable that they will arrange Tor
the car to leave Salina in the after
noon at 2:3O. BY leaving at 1880 the
car makes Kansas City connections.
Rv leaving at 1880, it will make the
Kansas CITY connection and also Wich-
ia and Hutchinson Mr.. Whittemore,
the agent, is anxious that the car leave
the hour earlier.
The Rock Island has been making
an effort to establish another regular
passenger train between Salina and
Herington and until today it was sup
Dosed here that such was still the in
tention of the company, but it is the
general belief that the motor car sys-
tenn will prove satisfactory. Mr..
Whittemore says that he expects the
extra service in about two weeks.

THE GAME OF FOOTBALL.

THE GAME OF FOOTBALL.
A Washburn student, formerly captain

lowing epLc-ditty on football:

Can't you see there's game coming off

See the kids hang around
Near the athletic ground
They want to sneak in so they won't have

Oh NV

See the coach and his boys
In this racket and noise
Gee Whiz!
They're ready for biz
They're so anxious to start that they
stutter and sizz.
Like a human sky rocket
Just leaving its socket
This game is not so tame as some say 1t Is.
They're off like a flash.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Grand.

Lyman H. Howe opened his present
engagement in this city, with his
moving pictures last night. Mr..
Howe's pictures occupy the same
compared with other pictures, as
major league star does compared
with a bush Lacquer. He comes to
Topeka once a year, sometimes more,
and he always has full mouse. Last
night was no exception for it was one
of the best houses seen at the Grand
in some time, save the Ben Hur
crowds.
His pictures this season are fully
up to the standard of past seasons.
He takes scenes in Italy for his feat
ures this year, but intersperses these
with pictures of human interest and
humorous effects. Not once does Mr..
Howe repeat a picture in any town.
There will be another display of pic
lures at the Grand tonight.
The appearance of Charles B. Han
ford at the Grand Opera house on
Saturday matinee and night. Novem-
Der 18th. will be an occasion OF par
ticular importance in the current

his equipment makes his stay in any
one place necessarily brief. Yet his
presentations of the greatest dramas
that the English language has known
are marked by a completeness and
brilliancy which only vast experience
and thorough organization could at

STEEL PRICES To BE CUT

New York. June 9.-There is not much detail to record of today's stock market. In the late trading it fell into virtual stagnation. Operators seemed to find nothing in the days occuranees to prompt speculative action, and the dis continuance of trading marked the de- termination to await several expected events before embarlSing in market. The approach of the convention period for the great political parties is a deterrent in fiuence on activity owing to the prover- bial oppressive effect of that season on business as well as on speculation.
 The knowledge of conferences in pro gress amongst steel men to consider the proposed cut in prices weighed on the market owing to the uncertainty over the extent of the proposed cut and It's infiu- ence in reviving demand for the product Opinion Is not agreed as to the immeol- ate effect of a price cut as between the possibility of prompt revival Of desnanu and additional hesitation amongst buyers on the prospect that still further conces- sions might be allowed. An impression was abroad that some of the interests Tn the steel trade feel discouraged over the outlook.
 The market position of the United States Steel stocks also came in for dis cussion. While those stocks have not been conspicuous in the occasional rise of the recent market, their resistance 10 all periods of depression is marked. rms action has fostered a supposition that market stability for the stocks have been sought as financial policy with a pur- pose in view similar to that in maintain ing prices of the corporations products; that is, to conserve business confidence and avoid the unsettling influence of wide and sudden fluctuations. With the abandonment of the maintenance or prices of the product there arose con lecture over how far the supposed stock market policy of the supporters of those stocks might be modified.
