Austrian Government VIII Soon Have
1922 Miles.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Government
ownership of railroads is regarded
favorably by the general public in
Austria, reports Consul General
Rublee of Vienna. The operation of
the state. railways, however. in 1906,
resulted in a deficit of $16,S49,0OO.
This was due to the state being forced
to assume the ownership of lines that
were worked at a loss, as we'll as being
obliged to construct railways mainly
valuable from a strategical point of
view and also to a considerable extent
doubtless due to the policv of granting
in some cases minimum rates below
the actual cost of operation in order
to foster certain industries. The
freight rates granted for sugar forme d
a striking instance of this, the Aus
train beet sugar industry, owing its
Importance mainly to it's great export
trade which amounts to three-fourths
of the entire output. This export of
sugar is only rendered possible by
these reduced rates by the state and
by the steamship interests.
The government railways in Austria
at the beginning of this year had a
mileage of 1920, which will now be
increased by the lines just taken over,
making an aggregate of 1922 miles.
The roads still under private control
have mileage of 1000. The railway
minister mas iuil cohtroi OF the state
railways and also supervision of the
various private companies, and the
government thereby prevents over
capitalization of stock. Secret rebates
have never been permitted. although
preferential rates for the encourage
| ment of export or for the benefit OF
some special industry have been grant
ed The control of freight rates is an
important complement of the customs
policy. enabling the government to
combat adverse customs regulations OF
adjoining countries. The lines Just
taken over by the government were
acquired in furtherance of this policy.

Greeted by Large Crowds on
Nebraska Tour.
STATE TICKET PLEA.
That Is Burden of Candidates
Talk in Home State.
Houses. Along The Railroad Are
Gaily Decorated.

Wymore, Neb., Oct. 15.-William ]
Bryan began his third and last days
tour of Nebraska with a speech before
Z o'clock at Endicott this morning
Though 1t was nearly midnight last
night. he appeared fresh and clipper
this morning. Several hundred farm
ers had gathered at Endicott. some of
them driving more than Is miles to
hear the candidate speak but five min
utes.
The crowd was large enough to war
rant the committee travelling with Mr.
Bryan to leave behind State Auditor
W. w. Brandon, of Alabama. to ad-
dress the meeting and then catch the
train with an automobile. Mr.. Bran
don had been used in this capacity on
this trip, last night speaking at Geneva,
after Mr.. Bryan concluded, and Joining
the party at Hebron early this morning
after 3S-mile night ride in an auto
mobile.
At Fairbury Mr.. Bryan spoke rs min
uteS, the address being made in tbs.
court house square. Here also the
crowd was large, although it was but
8 o'clock. He hurriedly reviewed the
party's position on the tariff and trust
question and dwelt at some length on
the OI Dduk QepOSlIS. AL eacl
place he made an earnest appeal for
the election of the state, legislative and
congressional tickets.
Charles F. Gilbert, who is the NOM
inee for congress in this district, also
joined the party this morning and ives
introduced by Mr.. Bryan at each stop.
Speaks to Farmers.
A five minutes speech was made at
Diller to a crowd of farmers. Here
Mr.. Bryan devoted his speech to a
discussion of the planks, asking for
the election of senators by direct vote
of the people and the publicity of
campaign funds.
81 want a law" he said, which
will make the Republican party take
the people into its confidence and let
us know how heavily the Standard
Oil company, the steel trust. the har-
vester trust and all the other trusts
have mortgaged the Republican party
by campaign contributions"
Although there was about a five
minutes stop at OdeH. little village
of but 800 inhabitants, there was a
! crowd of several hundred people at
the depot. All houses in sight of the
train were decorated with bunting
and pictures of Mr. Bryan, while the
depot had a -Hthograph of Mr.
Bryan plastered on the side, sur
mounted by a sign, Fea ding: '---
"Odell Bryan club 100 strong"
Mr.. Bryan took occasion to thank
| the people for their greeting before
talking on the state and national
| issues.
At Wymore the largest crowd YET
encountered during the day wa:
gathered at the depot. Here there
was a number of railway employe:

store harmony between the employer.

! legislation as to do exact justice t.

TWO INCORRIGIBLES.
Girls From Des MOines, Iowa, Ar
rested by Local Police.

Two of the incest looking girls ever
seen in Topeka and making as nice an
appearance as the plutocrats were
taken up by the police last night and
turned over to Mrs. Thorpe.
These two girls, Mae Rodgers and
Blanche Christian, have been arrested
four times by the police and they have
always been accused of street walking.
They come from good families in Des
Moines, Iowa. and they say they have
the roaming fever and they can't get
out of it. Mrs. Thorpe, the police
matron, has permission to take them
to an institution in Kansas City and
they will probably be kept there until
something better enters their souls.
They are queer couple. When
first taken up by the police they were
found in the Rock Island yards dress
ed in mems clothes. They were with
a bunch of tramps and were just about
to jump ION the rods and bum their
way west. Every time they have been
caught they have been caught around
the railroad yards and have been try
ing to catch rides on freights.
Mae Rodgers claims that she lives
in Denver but a young man who was
caught with them and who knows
them well, says that they live in Des
Moines and are of good families. Mae
however, claims that she was married
in Denver once and had two children.
The children took down with the
measles and while they were sick her
husband had typhoid fever. 1t was
not long before all three of them died
and she became disguised with life
and decided to take no more respon-
sibilities.
Blanche Christian says she is living
this kind of a life because she has q
mean stepmother and she can not live
at home with her. She admits living
in Des Moines.
Mrs. Thorpe and Cleo Bennett have
done everyt hing in their power for the
work but they ran away from it. Every
time they have been arrested they
have reformed and claimed that here
after they would lead different lives
but as soon as they get out on the
street they are lost

WORLDS PRESIDENT.
League of Peace Suggests Roosevelt
or Andrew Carnegie.

New York, Oct. 15.-Fhe reported de-
claration by Rev. DR.. Wilbur F. Crafts.
superintendent of the International Re
form bureau in Boston recently, that
within few years Theodore Roosevelt
would be president of the world" has
called forth letter to DR.. Crafts from
William o. Mcdowell acting executive
OF the League of Peace, asking that
the reform bureau cooperate with the
league in its work of bringing about
the selection of a worlds executive.
Mr.. McDowelis letter says in part
1.-The time has come and plans are well
under way for the election of an exec
utive with the title of the peacemak-
err by the electoral college composed
of the intellectual leaders of the world,
something like 100000 voters.
II note your advocacy of Theodore
Roosevelt as the next elected head of
the executive department or as you
designate it, president of the world
SO far as I can judge the members of
the electoral college in determining
their ballot, Will doubtless look to
America, but you must remember that
the United States has no monopoly of
the great peace workers of the world.
In the writer's opinion the vote cast
for citizens of the United States will
be divided between Andrew Carnegie
Theodore Roosevelt and the defeated
candidate for the presidency of the
United States, whether it shall be Mr..
Bryan or Mr.. Taft"

Sewers Of Topeka Are in Bad
Condition.
N0xious Gases Escape From the
Man Holes.
CARBOLIC ACID BATH
Mayor Green Says That Remedy
Is Useless.
Are Ruilt on Wrong Plan, He
M Says.

When the attention of Mayor Green
was called to the fact that the
authorities of Kansas City, Mo-. in
the face of the long dry spell, were
engaged in placing crude carbolic
acid in the catch basins of the city's
sewers as a protection for the public
health, he said that in his judgment
this plan would do no particular good
in destroying the fever germs and
gases in the sewers at this time.
Mayor Green admitted that the
sewers of Topeka are in bad shape
now owing to the long spell of dry
weather. He said that when the wind
blows from the north. which is to
say from the outlet of the sewers on
the river toward the city. the smell
around all the manholes and catch
basins is almost intolerable, but the
placing Of carbolic acid in these
catch basins would not help for the
reason that the sewer is full of gas
and odors and the wind from the
north drives these gases up the
sewers where they find escape at
every outlet. Unless this gas has a
means of escape sewer gas ex-
plosions would be sure to result
The trouble lies in the fact that the
sewers of Topeka, like those of most
other cities in the country, are COM
bination sanitary and storm sewers,
hence they are too large to clean by
flushing from the flush tanks or
hydrants in dry weather. Ten to six
teen inch mains will care for a sani-
tary sewer while twenty-four inch
pipes and larger are required to care
for the surface water. The cost of
building these combination sewers is
almost as great as it would be to con-
struct separate sewer systems for the
city.
Take the case of the new Martin &
Dennis sewer now in course of con-
struction in the southwest part of the
city. The cost of building this sewer
is twenty-seven per cent of the as
sessed value of the unimproved prop
erty in that district, yet the large
pipes have to be put in in order to
care for the surface water in ac-
| cordance with the rest of the city,
sewer system. In many parts of the
city the slope is such that the storm
| water would be cared for by surface
drainage. OF course the low sections
| of the city have to have storm
| sewers. The plan now being fol-
lowed in many cities of the country
| that have been wrestling with the
| combination sewer system in dry
weather is to build separate sewer
sewage and the storm water. The
| sanitary sewers gan be built of small
| pipe and kept pretty well closed and
| the flush tanks will keep them clean
| While the storm sewers are large and
open and are not offensive in dry
| weather.
| Under present conditions only q
heavy rain would be sufficient to flush
the sewers of this city and thus re-
move the offensive odors in the
vicinity of every manhole and catch
| basin.

TESTED AND PROVEN
There Is a Heap of Solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon Well
Earned Reputation.

For months Topeka readers have seen
the constant expression of praise for
Doan's Kidney Pills. and read about
the good work they have done in this
locality Not another remedy ever pro-
duced such convincing proof of merit.
Mrs. Annie Daneke of 113 North To-
peka avenue. Topeka, Kan, says:
1.-THE statement l made in the summer
of 1899 about Doan's Kidney Pills cur
ing my son of a kidney weakness was
true, and 1 can now add that during
the years which have since elapsed the
cure has practically been permanent.
When he has taken a cold 1 have no.
ticed slight indication of a return of
the annoyance. but they never amount
ed to anything. 1t is needless to say
that 1 still retain a high opinion of

TOWN
WILL GO
DRY

With petition signed by
over one hundred residents and
citizens of the town of DeBcque,
this county, II. w. Gooch, the
well known hotel man of that
town, arrived in Grand junction
ut noon and filed that petition
which asks that a vote on the
question of whether or not
whiskey shall be sold in any
form i'm the town of DeBeque,
with the managers of the Anti
Saloon campaign in this county
and in turn these gentlemen will
file the petition along with those
from many other precincts i'm
the county with the proper
officials.
The great number of names secur-
ed to the petition in DeBeque, where
1t was expected that keen competition
would be met with owing to the fact
that there are two saloons in De-
Beque, came as a great big surprise
to the Anti-Saloon campaign man
ayers.
1t requires petition signed by 40
per cent of the voters of each pre-
cinct in order to secure vote on the
local option question in a precinct.
At this rate the DeBeque petition
would have to have had so sigma,
lures. 1t was feared that trouble
would be experienced in securing so
many signatures.
Thomas Darnell. the great temper
ance orator, held a few meetings in
DeBeque about ten days ago and fol-
lowing his meetings the petition was
circulated and over one hundred sig
natures were secured in a very short
time.
1t is said that many more sigma
lures could have been secured had
the petition been kept in circulation
a few days longer.
A peculiar feature of this petition
is that it bears the signature of one
of the men operating saloon in De-
Beque.
The Anti-Saloon men are very tub-
liant over the ease with which the
petition was filled with signatures in
the town wherein they expected to
have much trouble. There is but
little doubt that DeBeque will go
dry" and the saloons be knocked
out at the November election.
