they are conducted in the colleges
now they certainly do the greatest

it. They do great harm, and they do

lieving that he could perfect such a
device came to Topeka two years ago
and began to work out his plans. By
March of last year sufficient progress
had been made to warrant a trial of
the new contrivance- Consequently
the couplers were placed on the San
ia Fe's St Joe-Topeka local train
and were used to the great satisfac-
ton of the company until on account
of the foods it became necessary to
shift the coaches to other trains
The trial was considered a success
in every way as far as its adaptab ility
for doing the work was concerned,
but its excessive weight together with
the fact that the brass material used
made the cost prohfp1tfve were the
features which caused the railway to
reject its general use at that time
For year Mr.. Shaw has been endeav-
oring to do away with these objec-
tons. The weight has been reduced
from 80 to 204 pounds. and the ex-
pense connected with the production
of the device has likewise been great

WANT ROCK ISLAND TO STOP.
Travelling Men Planning to Go Before
the State Board

Lawrence, Kan, Sept Frank
Durland and Burt E. Brown, two of
the best known travelling men in Law
renee, are circulating a petition for
the purpose of trying to get the rail-
road commissioners of the state to
compel the Rock Island railroad to
give service to Lawrence people over
that road to points west of Topeka
The petition is now at the Eldridge
where it can be signed.
II the Rock Island will grant this
request it will mean that the travelling
men OF Lawrence and others travelling
TO points west of Topeka will derive
great benefit As it now stands all
these travellers have to go to Topeka
on either the Union Pacific or Santa
Fe roads and are compelled to change
cars at Topeka, recheck their baggage
and buy their tickets there, finally
boarding the same train that comes
through Lawrence
Lawrence has a population which
entities it to this right and the men
who are back of the movement think
that the Rock Island will grant it,
This will arouse much interest in
Lawrence as there are many who
would benefit by it.
