made the traffic originating with us
better than 1t was last summer.
Money has been literally spent the
past year to maintain the Santa Fe
and it is in excellent condition. We
have made it a rule to keep equipment
fully repaired and on July 1 there
were as few cars and locomotives in
shop as it is possible for an operating
railroad to have. The percentage of
shop cars at the present time is unus-
ually low. OF course. the company
will get the benefit of this condition
when traffic becomes heavy again.
ct am hopeful for the fall and win
ter, but 1 do not look for rapid re-
covery. If the railroads should fail
in some way, to effect an increase in
freight rates. some of them would pull
through the depression and some
would not. Ultimately rates will go
higher, because the cost of service is
constantly tending upward and the
railroads are constantly being made to
render a better service. The increase
in their traffic has enabled the rail-
roads to make a profit in the past in
spite of the upward movement of all
prices, but that increase does not go
on uniformly and tends to become less
as the country grows older.
'The country is beginning to feel
the effects of being settled up, as is
shown by the fact that settlers are
now going out upon semi-arid lands
and paving SO to $12 an acre for
them. a price which a few years ago
would have Bought good land in other
sections"

In Three Cases No Liquor Sales

more than year. liquor prosecutions
finally came to a showdown and two
convictions have resulted. In the last
batch of cases tried, W. R. Burke. W.
3. Lewis. Ed. Leonardo. Henry Sonar
ringhausen and Pat. McAuliffe were
charged with contempt Of court. for
selling intoxicating liquors after the
court had enjoined them. The cases
were tried a week ago, and saturday
Judge Hudson gave his decision.
Burke and Lewis were convicted on
one count and were sentenced to pay a
fine of 800, attorneys fees of $75, and
to serve thirty days in jail. The other
three men were discharged. The two
convicted men have taken an appear
to the supreme court and furnished
q bond of $1,000. Burkes bond was
signed by T. NJ. Walker, and Lewis
bond was signed by Nat Howell and
Dick Fenton.
In the other three cases Judge Hud-
son held that the state had failed to
prove that the defendants had sold
Intoxicating liquors. His ruling did
not establish whether ? per cent is
an intoxicating drink, and that the
selling Of it is in violation of the pro-
hibitory law.
Burke's and Lewis cases will hard
~ be given a hearing in the supreme
court for six months, so Atchison VIII
have present conditions until then.

Frisco Road May Run Trainl
Into Hutchinson.
Now Passes Through Me dora,
Only Ten Miles Distant.
DIRECT TO ST. LOUIS.
of Road Now Making
Plans for Service.
Other Items of Interest in Rail-
way Circles.

Hutchinson. Aug. 31.-The passen-
ger departments of the Rock Island
and Frisco railroads are still working
on the proposition to extend the train
service of the latter road to Hutchin-
son. 1t is said that there is some hope
of success now.
F. E. Clark, division passenger
agent of the Rock Island-Frisco lines,
with headquarters in Wichita, spent
short time here today. 1--WE want to
get this train service" said Mr.. Clark
in talking over matters pertaining to
the railroad service which these COM
panies might give to Hutchinson "Mr.
Stewart, general agent of the passen-
ger department at Kansas City, and
are going to st. Louis tomorrow and
while there we intend to take the mat
ter up directly with the general pas
senger department in st. Louis in the
hope of getting this service establish
ed. We believe, as 1 have told you
often, that this train would be a pay
ing one and that the people of Hutch
inson would patronize it,
What sort of service would this
give Hutchinson" was asked
I'VE would operate the train now
passing through Medora, northbound,
into Hutchinson, instead of sending it
on to Ellsworth. There would be a
service from Hutchinson to Ellsworth
or else our other train from St. Louis,
now stopping at Wichita, would be
sent on to Ellsworth, instead.
I'VE would operate fine train be-
tween Hutchinson and St. Louis. 1t
would consist of the mail, baggage
and express cars, smoking car, a
chair car and a through sleeper di-
rectly from Hutchinson, leaving here
in the forenoon and running without
change to st. Louis, arriving there
early the next morning. There would
be Fred Harvey dining car service
all of the way, too, and Hutchinson
would be well served, both ways, be-
tween here and ST. Louis"
The train, as it is planned, has been
wanted for a long time by Hutchinson
people. 1t would be the only direct
service to ST. Louis and it would I'M
doubtedly get large patronage. The
train would come into Hutchinson ov-
err the Rock Island lines from Medora
and would arrive at and depart from
the Rock Island passenger station 1t
would be the intention of the COM
pany to get the train in here from the
east in time to connect with the Gold
en- State limited on the Rock Island,
in the afternoon. 1t would connect
with train No. So from the west here
vice to the people on the southwest
lines of the Rock Island for ST. Louis
and all points in south eastern Kansas
and southwestern Missouri.
Hutchinson needs to bring the
Frisco in. 1t is scarcely ten miles
away and its trains run that near
every day in the year.
There Is hardly another instance in
the United States where a railroad
lines comes so near to 5000 people
and misses them, year after year.
wants this changed and
will do all that is possible to prove
to the Frisco people that it would be
a paying train.

Bob Hendricks of Atwood Gives First
Kansas Dollar to Bryan.

Atwood. Kan, Aug. 31.-Bob Hen
bricks, present member of the legiSla-
ture from Rawlins county. has won the
distinction of being the first contrIDu-
tor to the national Democratic cam
paign fund in Kansas. And Rawlins
county gets the honor, for Hendricks
claims that Atwood is his home. There
was some doubt in the last regular ses-
sion of the legislature and the special
session which followed last winter
whether Mr.. Hendricks was a Kansan
or Nebraskan, for he was operating a
bank in Beaver City and eating his
meals there. He held his seat down,
however. He has always claimed that
Atwood was his home and he promised
to return here and be one of US. Thus
Kansas, Rawlins county, Atwood ana
Bob Hendricks are credited with being
the first contributors in Kansas to the
Bryan campaign fund. The amount
was 500.

COMPARISON OF TAX RATES.
Atchison About the Most Economically
Governed City in the State.

Atchison, Kan, Aug. 31.-Atchison
is about the most economically govern
ed city in the state. This is good ma
terial for the Committee of Forty. It
has never been possible until this year
to make an accurate comparison of the
tax rate - the cities of Kansas. for
the reason that some cities assessed
property at one-fourth it's value, 9TH
ers at one-third, and much property
escaped altogether. But this year all
of the property of the state is assessed
at as nearly its real value as was pos
sible to get 1t. The levies have all
been made. In Atchison, for all gem
eral purposes, the levy was S1.17 on
each 500 valuation. In Leavenworth
It was s1.s6; Topeka. $1.56; Lawrence,
S1.44: Kansas City, Kan, $40; Wich-
ita, S1.20. The rate in Atchison, If the
water tax had been levied, would have
been the same as that at Wichita, but
1t must be remembered that Wichita
is comparatively young city. and not
burdened with a large bonded debt
which the older cities were forced to
assume in the earlv days to secure rail-
roads and other large enterprises.

Young Henderson had not been

father, who was at the entry and turn
ing a switch for a car to go into the
