filed a complaint with the state railway
commission against the manner in
which the Santa Fe conducts business
on the Burlingame-Alma branch. The
claim is that the trains run so irregu-
larly and uncertainty that it is impoS-
sible to tell when any mail is coming
or whether the train will make connec-
tions with the main line trains at either
end.
Ringing Brothers was the first cir
Gus in Topeka since the building of the
Topeka & Northwestern. the branch or
the Union Pacific from Topeka to
Onaga. The mixed train that runs on
that branch was inadequate to handle
the crowds and when the train arrived
in Topeka every box car along the line
had been picked up and passenger RS
were riding on top. inside and even
under.
The second Semi-annual conference
of the superintendent of state chart
table institutions and others interested
in charity work will begin Thursday al
2 o'clock in the board of control rooms
in the state house. On Thursday after
noon there will be papers by F. w
Blackmar, f. 3. Schermerhorn, DR.. NJ
l.. Perry and H. w. Charles. On Fri
day at $50 a. m. there will be papers
by DR.. L. L. Uhls and E. c. Willis
The public is invited to attend these
meetings.
The special trains run into Topeka
for the state wide fair have been
crowded beyond capacity. The train
over the Rock Island was so crowded
that no stops were made between
Maple Hill and Topeka. The
capacity of the Union Pacific train was
reached before it pulled into Rossville
and there was crowd of people wait
ing to come to Topeka. The conduc-
tor took in the situation at a glance
and ordered the engineer to attach an
empty box car which was standing on
the sidetrack to the rear of the train
and in this way the residents OF
Rossville were accommodated.

For four long years h e busy political bee has to re- solve himself to "a crysalis while the public get a rest, capital no longer has to grope its way through a maze of un- certainties; certainty whether whether good or better, is what capital wants. It is as timid as an infant taking it's first trembling steps with tender feet out on the stony trail of life. It will be sooth- ed and encouraged by nothing except the certain assurances that fit fall, it will fail into its mothers arms. w h 6 n that certainty has been estab- lished, it puts out boldly across the nursery parlo:, which looks as broad as did the vast Pacific to Magellan as he merged from the straits which hear his name Now we have reason to believe that capital will step forward with the same avidity and assur ance as that which would at- tach a hobo as he plunges in- to the bosom of a forty pound feather bed:

Airship Scars Over Ari- zona's Capital in
 Rapid Flight

The sensational and spectacular event of the opening day of the Ari- 70 na fair was Roy Knahenshue's flight Monday morning from the fair grounds to downtown district and return to the starting point. The course out lined was travelled in fifteen minutes, and the entire distance was close to five miles
 It was the first flight ever made by an airship in Arizona and was almost perfect in every detsii. The visit to the city was wholly unexpected, as it had been announced iq the morning that the flight would be to the capitol and return. But the fair commission had this surprise in store for the peo- ple wbo remained in the business dis trict, and when the airship sailed over the Gazette office. the downtown streets yere packed with hundreds oi shouting and wildly enthusiastic citi' zens and visitors. The frs; word that J Knabenshue was on his way to the 1 city came when the shout was taken up from throat to throat, There's tht < airshipl' From every building poured out a stream of excited humanity
