EXCHANGE CITY BONDS.
Investor Offers Them for the South
western Securities.

]. w. Robinson of the finance COM
mittee of the Topeka and Southwest
ern railway received a telegram Srom
H. NJ. Herbert, president of the South
western construction company, who n
at Council Grove last night which
reads: "W1ll exchange city of Topeka
bonds for Southwestern railway
bonds" This telegram was read at
a meeting of the board of directors
of the Topeka and Southwestern rail-
way which was held at the home of
c. X. Holiday last night.
AS soon as the road is completed to
the west line Of the county which
must be before the first of next April.
the construction company will receive
a Topeka bond issue of 100000 voted
to assist in the construction of the
line. The proposition which Mr.. Her
bert has made means that an inves-
tor, who desires may purchase Tope-
ka and Southwestern bonds in any
sum not exceeding 100000 and that
they will be given bonds issued by the
city of Topeka in exchange for them
as soon as the city bond issue is avail
able.
This proposition made by Mr.. Her
bert has put new life in the commit
tee and the members are more optim-
istic than they have been at any time
since they started in to raise the re-
quired sum for the construction of the
road. This offer which Mr.. Herbert
has made should satisfy the most pes
simistic of the worth of the bonds Of
the Topeka and Southwestern" said
]. w. Robinson. at is plain to be
seen why the construction company is
willing to make the exchange as the
Topeka city bonds only bear per
cent interest while the railroad bonds
carry per cent. The offer however
shows that the construction company
has absolute faith in the proposition
and the worth of the Topeka and
Southwestern bonds as an invest
ment"

The flood from Blue river cut a channel

RAILROAD WORK IN INDIA.
Bombay Station One of Finest i'm the
World.

London, July 14.-England is uniting
with India toward the Iatter's internal
improvement. With this in view the
government has just issued white pa
per and after thorough inquiry has
recommended the annual expenditure
on railway construction and develop
ments in India equal to $780, 900 in the
next eight years.
India's railway facilities are way
ahead of most European or Asiatic
countries. The terminus known as
Victoria station at Bombay, is one of
the finest railway stations in the world.
1t is built in the Itanian-Gothic style,
with oriental notifications in the style
of the domes. The cost of this station
alone was s1,500,000. There is much
sculpture in its ornamentation and the
artistic effect is very impressive.
1t is undoubtedly true that England
has in mind her own fortification, as
well as the internal improvement of
India, in assisting in this development
of the interior. 1t is very evident that
with thorough railway service troops
will be more readily and easily trans
ported from one point to another in
this immense country.
