everything has its own peculiar

SOME FAST TRAINS .
Distances and Time Compared, Frisco
Is Shortest, Katy the Longest

- FS'i'At'S's INaty IJ'HStSt
What is a fast train?" This is a
question that has been raised by
some of the railroad Officials of
Dallas and the matter was gone over
with the following result:
The three roads out of Dallas
which are competing for St Louis
business are the Texas and Pacific,
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas,
and the Frisco The Texas and Pa
cific trains from Dallas to ST. Louis
cover a distance of 715 miles. The
Cannon Ball, or day train out of
Dallas, makes the run in twenty
two hours and fifty-two minutes,
leaving Dallas union depot at 1885
a. m, and arriving at St. Louis
at 1927 the following morning. The
new night schedule out of Dallas is
twenty-three hours even, the train
leaving here at S:45 p m, and
The average rate of speed for both
trains is about thirty-one miles per
hour.
The Frisco. with the shortest route
via Paris, covers the distance of 6S4
miles in twenty-five hours and fifty
minutes, leaving Dallas at sos a.
m and arriving at st. Louis at 1855
"a. m, while the new train called
The Texan" makes the run In
twenty-three hours and five minutes,
at an average rate of speed of a
little less than thirty miles per hour.
The Missouri Kansas and Texas
railroad has only one fast train at
present. the Flyer, which with a
route which Is fifty-two miles longer
than the Texas and Pacific, and
eightythree miles longer than the
Frisco, makes an average speed OF
thirty-three miles per hour for the
767 miles, or twenty-five hours and
fifty-five minutes for the distance.
And as yet it is up to the travelling
public to decide which is the fastest
train The schedules Of all three
roads are SO arranged that passen-
gers can get to ST. Louis for supper
or breakfast as the case may be.
There is very little to choose be-
tween the three as all of them are
making strenuous efforts to furnish
all the comforts that can be had for
the benefit Of their passengers.

Dallas. Aug 81 - Battery p
.of the First Field ARTILLERY O.. 5. 4
.arrnyd m Dallas. this morning To-
morrow the infantry aud cavalr,
companies will arrive. 1t was OBJ,
Original intention that the 1000 sol
'djers who are to participate IN the
tournament should arrive on the
same day. but it was deemed advis-
lille to divide the companies SO that
all would not arrive on the same
morning
It is believed that by 10 O'Clock
in the morning ali the soldiers will
have established themselves in the
camp.
The camp will be open on Sunday
as Well as on other days to the in
spection of visitors Visitors will
be permitted to make a careful in
spection of the camp. They will
see at first hand the equipment of
the soldiers and will be able TO get
a good insight into the manner in
which the soldiers of Uncle Sam live
and have their being.
The entire purpose of the tourna-
/ ment at Dallas is to enable the people
to gain a rjeht conception of Uncle
! Sans methods in his great military
organization.
1t is the purpose of the tournament
/
to show the effectiveness of modern
arms and modern tactics When the
tournament was secured for Dallas
the promise was made to the war
department that every effort would
be made by the citizens of Dallas to
give the whole people an opportunity
to see the drills and contests and to
inspect the camp. 1t was not in
/ tended by the war department that
all the expense of the tournament
should devolve on Dallas citizens. and
therefore the tournament committee
under whose auspices the tourney
will be held, is allowed to charge the
small admission fee of % cents. II
is believed that this admission fee is
so small as not to preclude any per-
son from seeing the maneuvers
The railroads announce the low
est rates that have ever been put
on for Dallas. Popular rates will
be in effect for the two Sundays and
for Wednesday of the tourney It
may be stated here that Wednesday,
Aug. %, is to be one of the big
days of the tourney. The largest
crowd is expected on that day, and
! the most elaborate program will be
given them. A round trip of ST
will be on tomorrow from this city,
and quite a number will take advan-
tage of the rate.

Would Give the Governor and
Mayor denomination by
Virtue of Office,
IN SEPARATE COLUMN.
Lawyer Leary, Father of Idea,
Talks 1t Over With
Politicians.

Gov, Hughes is determined not only
TO create a direct non nation law, but
will, It is reported In Republican circles
to-day, advocate a radical and most In
teresting change In the election laws
themselves. An amendment doing away
with the necessity OF rc-nomina ton
Of any man holding the Office OF Mayor
or Governor hereafter in order to pu:
him forward for reelection, is now pro.
posed.
The proposition is TO amend the cleo.
ton law so that the Governor OF the
State and Mayor OF New York shall
By reason Of their Office, have scpa-
rate column for reelection on the ballot
thus giving the citizens an opportunity
10 express approval or disspproval Of
their conduct OF the office. II Is claimed
that such law will enable a Governor
or Mayor 10 be more Independent, and
free them from the influence OF party
leaders.
Leary Originated Idea.
Lawyer John Leary. OF the Singer
building, who Is conducting the tax.
payers suit to test the constltu,ionality
OF the Public Service Commission law,
Is the originator OF the new IDEA, and
lie has talked over the proposition with
Gov. Hughes and certain influential
members OF the Republican organIza-
"a ,,.In Io,. %
their approval OF the plan,
The possibilities OF such q plan II
made n law are very interesting. Ii
would practically amunt to a re-nOmin-
alton OF Mayor Mcclellan this coming
fall whether or not Tammany wanted
him. 1t ,rould also mean that Gov
Hughes would run again for reelection.
MIR, LeRry has drafted a bill along the
lines OF his idea, and it Is to be suo-
rItted TO the Legislature when finally
approved by those most interested.
1t IL suggested that II the plan meets
approval II may be made I'd apply to all
important elective State offices, such as
Secretary OF State, Attorney General.
Comptroller and Judges OF the Court o.
Appeals and Supreme Court thus going
q long way 10 enable incumbents to pur-
tue course OF conduct wholly indie
pendent Of the politicians.
Provisions Of the Bill.
Chairman Collin H. Woodward Of the
Committee of Fifteen appointed by
County Chairman Herbert Parsons TO
!nyestigate and report on the proposed
change in the primaries law, is among
the men who are considering the non-re-
nomination change In the election laws.
He has received copy OF the suggested
Law and thousands OF other copies have
been sent broadcast throughout the
State to Republicans and Democrats
alike.
The proposed law reads az follows
An act in relation to the election OF
Governor OF this state and OF Mayors
OF cities of the first class OF this State.
THE people OF the State OF New York,
represented in Senate and Assembly, do
enact as follows;
