WAR INEVITABLE.
Intolerable Conditions Brought
to Light.

Recent advices from a Topeka
boarding house tell a story of extreme
suffering.
A young man of this city, engaged
a room in a rooming house near the
business section of the town and after
agreeing to pay a fair price for the
same, expected reasonable accommo-
dations in return.
Upon returning to the room. late in
the evening, he endeavored to light
the gas. After fumbling at the door
knob, STUN bling over chair, and
searching for a match, he found to
his chagrin and discomfort that the
gas lamp was entirely out of COM
mission. Grumbling and swearing at
his i'll luck he went to bed without a
light. As a result the man secured
another room, and the landlady came
to the Central Cycle & Supply Com
pany and ordered new gas fixtures in
order to avoid further trouble.

DON'T LIKE PARTY LINES.
Citizens of Oakland Hold a Meeting
to Protest.

large number of the citizens of
oakland are worked up over the In
dependent Telephone company situa-
ton, and last night they held a mass
meeting at the home of L. w Hits
at 421 Green street to decide on some
course of action in the matter.
They declare that all the telephone
subscribers in that suburb are now on
four party lines and that the company
is engaged at this time in placing
them on eight party lines. This, thew
declare, is the limit of poor service,
and they talked at last nights meet
ing of the plan of going over in a
body to the camp of the Bell COM
pany.
Another mass meeting has been
called for tonight at Horizons hall at
which it is expected that some con-
certed plan of action will be decided
upon There were twenty citizens
present at last nights meeting and
they declared that they would have
their Independent phones taken out
and Bell phones put in if the latter
company would agree to do away with
the party line nuisance.

Island from a connection with the
New York Central freight tracks at
Sixtieth street and the North river,
thence south along the North river to
the Battery, thence up the East river
to a connection with New York, New
Haven & Hartford railway in the
Bronx. A crosstown line at Fortieth
street would form a complete circle
south thereof and would connect by
tunnel under the North river with a
freight classification yard back of the
Bergen hills in New Jersey, where the
freight would be assembled and han
died by the railway terminating at the
North river in New Jersey.
The plan shows the complete route
of the system and in and around the
ISLAND of Manhattan and includes a
line from the classification yard in New
Jersey connecting by a surface belt
line with the Pennsylvania. the West
Shore the Erie, the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western and the Lehigh Val
ley railroads. the Central railroad of
New Jersey and the Baltimore & Ohio
railway.
From the river front subway freight
belt line around Manhattan island cart
age tunnels would extend under the
sidewalks, direct to the buildings oc-
cupied by receivers and shippers of
freight. Incoming freight would be
transferred in the classification yard
in New Jersey into ten ton cars cleo
trically operated. These ten ton cars
passing through the tunnel under the
river and along the main belt line
would enter direct by carriage tunnel

SUBWAY For FREIGHT.
Projected New York Tunnel to Eclipse
All Predecessors.

New York. Oct 10.-The greatest
transportation project ever proposed in
tangible form by a private corporation
is the new through track freight tun-
mel around Manhattan. Henry j.
Pierce and William ]. Wilgus are the
men back of the enterprise.
The stupendous engineering problems
that presented themselves to McAdoo
in building the passenger subway will
fade into nothing when compared with
those that will have to re n,er by The
promoters of the present gigantic
scheme. The man VINO will have -he
minor part of this work to do is Will
lam J. Wilgus, whose engineering abil-
ity is indispensable to the successful
execution of the big scheme.
Briefly the men behind the subway
freight line movement, plan to take off
the streets of New York much of the
traffic in carrying merchandise from
point to point. The subway will be
exclusively for freight and it will pass
through or beneath the big merchan-
disc shipping buildings of Manhattan.
Refuse also will be disposed of by way
of the freight subway.
The understanding here is that a
combination of railroads is behind the
project and will furnish the immense
amount of capital which will be re-
quired to put it through.
The electrically operated carriage and
subway system is to be a four-track
subway freight terminal railway
around the waterfront of Manhattan

portunity. After Miss Hasson had re-
ceived thorough education in private

applicants at the breaking out of the

The Pipe Organ Course Opens Auspi-
ciously.

The 190S-'O9 lecture course for the
benefit of the pipe organ fund was
opened last night at the Auditorium
CIV the Oratoria Artists in grand opera
The attendance was very good, about
1000 people being present These four
singers and their accompanist are tall
ented musicians of high order and
rendered a strictly classic programme
to the delight of several persons in
their audience. The other people
present enjoyed the one strain of sweet
and continued harmony sung by Miss
Hinkle, the soprano, as an encore
number.
Mr. Wheeler. the baritone, sang a
Gounod selection. Miss Hussey, the con-
tralto. and Miss Hinkle sang about
Brahms Gypsies. Mr. Miller, the tenor,
sang from Sans Souci. The quartette
numbers were from Lehman and Rige-
letto. Miss Davidson. the pianist, played
teh Litz Larantelle and a Shut Etude.
The auditorium was too cold for COM
fort There was no heat turned on at all.
Last summer on the hottest of nights the
gas lights were always used for Hum
mating purposes. Last night there WASH

staters by the famous clergyman with
which to free the slaves.)
Mr.. Connelley received this weap-
on from Elias Snyder of Osawatomie.
1t was carried on the Morgan Walker
raid by Ed Morrison of Pardee, Atch-
ison county. The latter was killed on
this memorable occasion by the slave
owners, who had been apprised of the
raid by Quantrell. the noted guerrilla,
who posed at that time as a free
slater and who planned the Morgan
Walker raid and then notified the Mis-
souri, slave owners of the approach of
the Jayhawkers.
The scene of the Morgan Walker
raid was in Jackson county. Mo-, and
majority of the Kansas raiders were
killed by the Missourians defending
their slaves.
Mr.. Snyder is possessed of authentic
information that the rifle spoken of
was carried by Ed Morrison on the i'll
starred adventure which cost him his
life. The weapon is now a valuable
souvenir of the stormy days of the
fifties on the border.

ATCHISON Is NEXT.
Next to Feel Mailed Fist of Attorney
General.

Atchison will be the next town to
feel the heavy hand of the attorney
general of the state. 1t is known that
General F. S. Jackson is in the posses
sion of evidence showing that certain
joints in that town have been paying
800 per month to the city for the
privilege OF running unmolested, and
that Mr. Jackson is now having that
evidence investigated to find out
whether he can make a case.
If he finds that the evidence is good,
he will begin custer proceedings
against a lot of Atchison city officials
as he did against the city officials of
Hutchinson and many other towns.
