CARE FOR THE POOR.

It's going to be a merry Christmas
for Topeka's poor and unfortunate this
year. The Jingle of the coin in the Sal
walton army kettles has gone on mer-
rily for two weeks and the theaters
have given volunteer contributions
from benefit performances so that the
total fund of the city which is to be
disposed of to the poor amounts to a
considerable sum-
A little girl, dressed in the warnest
furs, and with her pretty cheeks aglow
with health, set the example for large
number of people at one of the corners
of Kansas avenue last night as the
streets were crowded with an almost
1nnumerable host of late Christmas
shoppers She saw one of the Salvation
army turkeys and nothing would do
but that her mamma should explain
the meaning of it. She was told how
the unfortunate little girls of the city
We're provided for at this festive time,
by the small contributions of the more
fortunate. The little girl had a small
coin in her hand which she was going
to spend for candy. but her heart was
touched by the story her mother told
and with a 'Therer' she threw it into
the kettle. Il guess some poor little
girl will enjoy it more than IT, said the
little miss, while little blue eyed Sal
walton army lassie smiled a Thank
you"
This year the Salvation army will fill
two hundred baskets with Christmas
dinners and each basket will contain
enough for five people, so that in all a
thousand dinners will be provided.
Each basket will cost two dollars. And
not only will the Salvation army re-
member the deserving poor with
baskets filled with culinary dainties,
but clothing will be given away in
large Quantities. During the year thus
far the army has given away 1900 gar
ments and the number will be greatly
swelIed at this time.
At the PrOvfdent association the poor
will receive liberal treatment. The
funds which were received at the
theatrical benefits were turned over to
the association. Every deserving poor
family in the city will be cared for by
this institution and Christmas day will
be a happy one for those who are not
as we'll favored in material effects. The
Christmas presents for the poor chill
dren will not be distributed, however.
until the day after Christmas as many
of the presents left over from church
affairs will be received and awarded at
this time A large Christmas tree will
be one of the features and every poor
child in the city will receive a present
after the exercises have been held. The

CUT DOWN THE NUMBER.
Only Two Hundred Thousand Ties for
SaIina.

Salina. Kan, Dec. 24.-The Union
Pacific gave out the information this
morning that they were not going to
store the 100000 ties in Salina,
which they were going to do, but the
number would be cut down to perhaps
100000 The reason they give for not
storing the full number here is that
they have not the ground TO put
them on.
About a month or six weeks ago the
Union Pacific began unloading ties
here by the carload The officials mere
at that time reported that the company
was going to, store one million ties
here and that Salina would be dis
tributing point for the branch roads
and for the main line west.
Since that time the ties have been
coming in by the car and train loads:
The number stored TO-DAY is estimated
to be 500 carloads or 10000 ties and
a local official says that only about
10000 more will be shipped here.
Nearly all of the east yards are now
covered with ties and as the Union Pa
cific officials say the company has a
limited amount of land at Salina, 1t
has no room for more than the 100000.
1t is said. however. that as these
ties are distributed. bore will be ship
ped here so that Salina will continue
to be the distributing point for the Nc
Phersan and Plainville branches and
also for the main line between Salina
ard Ellis.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-12-24

members of the Boys club, the Girls
club and the Mothers club will all be
present. A few toys will be given away
but in the main it is desired that moth
ing but useful presents shall be given
away. The children who are cared for
at this institution will be well provided
for this season as the EIks have taken
considerable interest in the work of
this association.
Police Matron Mrs. L. E. Thorpe will
play prominent part in the Christmas
day festivities of the city. She has al
ways taken a great interest in the chill
dren who live west of the city park and
are remote from Sunday school. She
has a mission class of fortv members
and she will give present to all OF
these. She is also maintaining deep
interest in some of the aged widows of
the city and each of these will receive
a basket dinner and present.
At the Topeka Industrial Institute,
the boys will be we'll provided for. Pre-
ceding Christmas the relatives of the
Maynard lads always send some pres
ent and these are kept by the authori-
ties until Christmas. Then sacks of
candy, nuts and fruit are distributed
from big Christmas tree on Christ
mas eve. The state gives each boy a
pair of gloves for Christmas Christ
mas day big dinner is served, with
turkeys and all the attendant deli
cacies.
There will be a tree with real Santa
Claus at the Elks where 200 children
will be made happy.
Even the inmates of the Topeka state
hospital are not without their Christ
mas celebrations. Candy, nuts and
fruit given to each patient while
many little trinkets which meet with
the approval of the different patients in
their unfortunate state are distributed.
Miss Eleanor Lincoln, who is well
known as a director of plays. will put
on a play at the asylum Christmas eve,
in which her Sunday school pupils from
the Potwin Presbyterian church will
play the parts.
In all it will be a great Christmas for
every one. The people who are always
not been unmindful of the needs of
their poor neighbors and all have con-
tributed with liberality towards max
ing it a happy event for all.

Profit.

general discussions which have been
precipitated in comm ercial circles by

that the railroads have saved vast
sums since they abolished rebatlng-
In fact it is stated that the Southern

this means since the recent investiga-

F. H. Hartman, president of the

president of the Santa Fe. have made
conciliatory replies to the protest of
shippers against the advance in trans
continental rates scheduled for Janu-

his understanding that arrangements
are being made by the traffic managers
for a conference with the traffic bu-

that satisfa Glory decision will be
