MONEY IS IN BANK.
Work on Southwestern May Now Be
Commenced.

The Bank of Topeka this afternoon
wired Lamprecht Brothers and Company
of New York that the directors of the
Topeka and Southwestern Railroad COM
pany today deposited 5000 to their credit
in that institution. Apparently this re-
moves the last obstacle in the way of
commencing work of the Topeka and
southwestern railroad and the active
work of railroad building is to commence
the latter part of the week, according to
the statement given out by the company.
F.. Il. Merriam recently made a trip to
New York city for the purpose of dis
posing OF number of minor details
which have prevented the construction
company from commencing work on the
railroad grade. Among other things there
are number of small tracts of, land
which have been condemned for the right
of way which have not been paid for
The 1900 which was today deposited in
the Bank of Topeka is for the purpose of
securing these tracts though the entire
amount may not be necessary. 1t seems
that at last the only remaining obstacle
in the way of commencing work on the
road has been removed and that the To-
peka and Southwestern is to soon become
a reality.
More of the bonds of the Topeka and
southwestern will be placed on the mar
ket Immediately and the money raised in
this way will be used in securing right
of way in the city. These bonds are ex-
changea BILE for $4,000 worth of the city

sued which will be as soon as the rail-
road company has expended a like sum

In view of the public interest in hy-

is the scutellaria laterifloria, whose

ACTS LIKE A PARACHUTE.
New Airship of C. w. Williams Con-
sidered a Marvel.

New York, Oct. 9.-Aeronautic in
ventor5 and Investigators believe that
in his monoplane. now at the Morris
Park testing grounds of the Aeronaut-
ic society of New York for a prac-
tical test, c. w. Williams Of Richmond
Hill has a machine which will prove a
revelation in stability If not in speed.
The greatest point in favor of the
Williams machine is it's stability. 1t
has the appearance of an enormous
parachute. and Williams asserts that
in cases of accident in midair 1t would
act as one and settle gently to the
ground without damage to airship or
aviator. This action would be due,
first. to the unusually large sustaining
surface and the air spaces between the
four separate planes which compose it,
and, second. to the low point at which
all the weight of machinery and opera
tor is suspended. Williams says that
it is impossible for his machine to turn

over. and if this proves by actual ex-
perience to be fact, one of the great
est dangers of aerial navigation will
have been oVrcome.
While the spread of the planes in
the Williams machine is thirty feet,
the frame work on which the canvas
Is stretched is constructed to fold back
on itself when the machine is not in
use, making the monopIane much less
cumbersome than one with fixed planes
and more easily handled on the
ground. The whole sustaining surface
OF the four planes is about 500 square
feet, and the weight of the machine,
with the operator, is about 500 pounds.
making the sustaining proportion
about one pound to the square foot.
This is considerably lower than any
other aeroplane in practical use.
