very short time now to satisfy them.
We are not setting any specific time as
to when this will be- but are going
ahead delivering our bonds collecting
in the money and paying for the right
of way. Some of our subscribers have
been out of town and are just return
ing; some of them have been busy at
the fair and we have been unable to
see them, but we hope to get every
thing collected in the first of the week:
then it will only take short time for
the engineers to restake out the work
for the various outfits that are camped
along the line. 1t will be remembered
that this work was all staked out last
fall, but since then the farmers have
been farming the right of way and
most of the grade stakes have been de-
stroyed, but 1 do not anticipate any
delay whatever on the part of the
construction company as soon as we
have all the right of way ready for
them"

FORCE IS DOUBLED.
At That Baggage Handlers Must
Work Night and Day.

New York, Sept. 1O.-Double forces
of baggage handlers are working
night and day cutting into the noun
tains of baggage in the various New
York city terminals of transportation
lines. The rush reached its climax
yesterday. Thousands of persons took
advantage of the three day extension
to the vacation season afforded by
labor day and made their plans ac-
cordingly to return only in time for
work and business yesterday
According to men who handle the
baggage of tourists there is as much
to do this year as previously, in spite
of the fear that dull times in business
would keep many at home.

AFTER RIGHT OF AWAY.
Details for Council Grove Line Are
Being Cleared Up.

The board of managers for the To-

which is composed of w. H. Davis,
chairman. E. H. Crosby, j. w. ROB-
inson, Geo. w. Crane, DR.. w. {. Ham
ilton and NJ A. Blanchard, held
meeting last night. After the meeting
the members said they had nothing
particular to give out, only that the
meeting was called for the purpose OF
having a report from thos9 who have
had the soliciting of the bond sales i'll
hand. Their representative was IN
structed to deliver bonds and make
collections Immediately so that the re-
ouired right of way to be acquired
could be paid for at once.
Mr. w L. Taylor said this morning:
There is nothing much to give out to
newspapers; when Mr.. Herbert was
here he assured us when we furnished
the right of way from the west line of
the city limits to the west line of the
county, they would start the construc-
ton at once. This matter was turned
over to the new board of managers
August 1st and by August Sth they
had sufficient subscriptions to meet
the requirements. The majority of
these subscriptions have been paid in.
There are yet a few to be paid and we
hone to get them all collected in this
week The only statement that can
be made as to when work will start is
that work will start when we have
complied with our part of the agree
ment. Some people are getting impa-
tient, but when they stop to think
what has been necessary for the new
board to do they can readily see that
all of these detail matters take time.
Those who are not familiar with the
work necessary to be done cat APP
preciate nothing except the making of
dirt fly, and / think we will be able in

New Track Record Is Made
by Don.
Now Stands Two Minutes, Eleven
and a Quarter Seconds.
CONTEST is SPIRITED
Evan H. Makes Record Half Mile
in Three Year Old Pace.
Running Races Also Prove an
Interesting Feature.

Two records were broken in harness
races at the State Wide fair Wednes-
day afternoon. After 16 years, the
Riley Medium record OF PLY was
beaten by a quarter second. Don. H.
W. Browns chestnut gelding. pulled off
this stunt in the second heat of the
2:15 pace. The time is undisputed as
the same was registered on at least
four watches, without variance.
The other record was broken by
pace In the first half of the first heat
this horse pounded out the circuit In
1:O4sl. which is claimed by the judges
TO be the record in that class for Kan
sas. This first was the fastest half of
the race, the horses firing down. The
record breaker took the race in three
straight heats. Don, the destroyer of
Riley Mediums record. also won his
race in four heats, taking second place
in the first, and first place in subse-
quent heats.
