TAYLOR STILL CONFIDENT
Says Southwestern Railroad Will Be
Built With Help of Local People.

w. L. Taylor, the man who pro-
NOTED the Topeka & Southwestern
railroad, and has recently resigned his
position as director and as manager
of the construction company which is
to build the line, is confident of the
success of the enterprise.
Mr.. Taylor made the following
statement: 81 am out of the manage
ment of the Topeka & Southwestern,
stock in the company which I expect
to keep and some day sell it at par.
You can hear all kinds of stories
about the Topeka-Southweste but
am sure the Topeka-Southwes
railroad will be built. But if it should
not be it will be the fault of the board
of directors and the local people in
terested. Mr.. Curnick and Mr.. Her
bert are here and mean business and
it is right up to our home people now
to come UP to the trough and make
the initial investment, which has been
the understanding all along. Not
make a donation, but straight out
investment. Topeka went out some
time ago and raised $85, 900 for Wash
burn college by donation. Money is
more plentiful now than it was then
and if they can raise that amount of
money as a donation for a college,
they surely should be able to get in
vestments enough to assure the early
completion of the Topeka-Southwest-
ern. I would not want a better snap
than to go out in Topeka and sell a
hundred thousand of the Topeka
Southwestern six per cent bonds. 1t
is the cleanest proposition that I ever
saw, and up to date there has not
been one dollar wasted. It is not
over bonded, and according to an ex-
pert report that was made when ]
took the proposition up, the line
should net at least $1,000 per mile per
year; that is nearly per cent on the
vestors of Topeka and Kansas can be
convinced that the above statement is
correct, they will not hesitate to in
vest their money. The Topeka
| Southwestern means more to the
property owners and merchants OF
| Topeka than the acquiring of the
| trunk line at this time, because it taps
| to Topeka at present, except by over
| land travel, and aside from Ezra
Meeker there are not many people
| travelling that way in these days, anG
| If the business men of Topeka will

Topeka-Southwestern they will be

/ enthused over the Topeka-Southwest

RECOVERED $4,000.
Young Woman Wins a Suit Against
Patent Medicine Concern.

New York, May 13.-Because a
patent medicine concern published
her picture and testimonial which
she said she did not give, Miss Fran
ces Wynne, a saleswoman in de-
partment store has recovered $4,000
damages. Miss Wynne stated in her
suit that while she was engaged in a
prominent store fellow worker told
her that she knew Of place where
they could get their pictures taken
without payment, simply by allowing
the photographer to display copies in
his show window. Miss Wynne with
her friend took advantage of the Of
fer. Later she was astounded to see
her picture in a newspaper advertise
ment of patent medicine with a
testimonial as to the good effects OF
the medicine, signed Miss Elizabeth
Wynne."
Miss wynne stated that the publica-
ton of the advertisement made her
life unbearable. Her friends and fei-
low employees made fun of her and
she was finally compelled to resign
her position. An agent for the med1-
cine company testified that the testl-
monial was signed with Miss Wynne'
consent and that she consented to the
publication of the picture. This Miss
Wynne denied and the jury found in
her favor

TO PUSH IT ALONG.
Attorney General Jackson Would
Advance Trust Case.
Wants to Dispose Of Harvester
Company Prosecution.
THAT SHAWNEE FINE.
1t Amounts to Twelve Thousand
Dollars.
Decision Would Have as Much
Effect as Custer Suit.

In order that the antitrust manu-
facturers of harvesting machinery may
get themselves in shape to supply the
needs or Kansas farmers at the time
OF the 1909 wheat harvest, or else that
the trust may reform and do business
according to law. Attorney General
Jackson late Tuesday afternoon filed
with the supreme court a motion to
advance to speedy hearing the criminal
case against the harvester trust which
was appealed from Shawnee county.
1t is likely that the motion will be
In october, Immediately after the sum-
mer vacation
In case the supreme court sustains
the decision of the Shawnee county
district court. it means that the har-
vester company will have to pay a
that it will either have to completely
change its methods of doing business,
at once, or lay itself liable to a repeti-
ton of the fine whenever anybody cares
to start prosecution.
A decision against the International
in this case would have almost as
much effect on the company's methods
of doing business in the state as would
an custer suit.
The custer suit is still hanging up in
the supreme court. Taking testimony
on behalf of the International was re-
sumed today at Kansas City. The state
was represented by John Dawson and
the International by Earl W. Evans of
Wichita.
The following is the motion filed for
advancing the harvester case:
Said cause is an appeal from a
judgment on criminal prosecution
and conviction of a corporation for vio-
laNon of the antitrust laws of the
state of Kansas, and questions of law
are involved therein which are Of wide
spread public Interest to the people of
Kansas and particularly to the public
officers charged with the enforcement
Of the antitrust laws Of the state OF
Kansas
1.-THE appellant in this case controls
from IS to 95 per cent of the harvest
ing machinery made, manufactured
and sold to the buying public of the
state Of Kansas, and an important
question which is involved in this field
is the legality of the corporate organi-
cation of the appellant; and the de-
cision of this cause may occasion a
vast and far reaching change in the
methods Of furnishing, such machinery
to the appellant, and the decision OF
this cause may occasion a vast and
far reaching change in the methods OF
furnishing such machinery to the buy
ing public Of this state and 1t would
be well if such. determination were
made far enough in advance Of the
harvest of 1909 that the commercial
interests of this community would
have time to adjust themselves to any
change in their business methods
which may be imperative upon the
final determination of this appeal"

KANSAS TROOPS AT RILEY.
Encampment Will Be From August
10 to 20.

The annual encampment of the Kan

Oliver, acting secretary of war of the
United States.
The national guard, with two regi-
ments of infantry. a battery and a
signal corps, will be in camp with the
United States regular troops, and the
national guard troops from other west
ern states. The government pays all
the expense Of taking the troops to
Riley, feeding them, and taking them
away again. 1t will cost about 81, 1000
for the Kansas troops. This is done
by the government for the purpose of
giving the national guard troops some
experience in service alongside the
regulars, and bringing the state troops
up to a point of efficiency where they
would be a serviceable fighting force
for immediate use in case of war. It
would be possible for the government
to call into service the state troops
to the number of about 250000 in case
of need, and these troops would be de-
pended upon to repel the first attack
Of any foreign power.

RATHER LOAF THAN WORK.
That Is the Position Taken by Sixteen
Year-Old Martin Workman.

Martin Workman, 16-year-old boy
was arraigned in police court Tuesday
on charge Of vagrancy. He told the
judge that he worked out at the brick
yard for Sc per week, but that the
work was too hard and the pay low,
so he came to town and was loafing on
the streets looking for something easy
to do filth big pay behind it. The
judge released the boy on his promise
to go back to work and gave him the
following severe and wholesome lee
ture: IT will let you go this time
young man. but you had better keep
off the streets in the future. The po-
they find you loafing on the streets
again they will bring YOU in here and
1 will sentence you to 100 days on the
rock pile. You will get no wages at
all, the work will be harder than at
the brick yard, and it is likely that
you will not like your board or lodg-
ing. Now you go straight out to that
brick yard and go to work. Be sure
you hold your job, too. Try to make
something of yourself besides a worth

lies living in the house were asleep.

was discovered. When the f1remen
came the fire had spread through the
entire rear of the house, where the
fire escapes were, and the terror

where they were hanging from win
dows, shrieking for help. Ladders and

use and most of the imperiled persons
were thus rescued.
