cycle was slightly damaged and he was
injured but resumed the race after a
delay of II minutes.
The first nine miles of the race was
made over a sandy and rocky road and
progress was slow but good on the re-
mainder of the trip. The route of the
race was through Haysvilie, Peck, Ziba
and Wellington. Large crowds met the
riders along the entire route. At the
register station at Wellington refresh
ments were on hand for the riders and
their machine tanks were filled with oil
and gasoline. 1t is estimated that more
than 5000 people were lined up along the
route of the race to cheer the riders as
they passed by at a flying speed.

issuing of $3.300,C00 worth of bonds, to
be secured by a mortgage upon the

mortgages.
The bonds have not been underwrit-
ten, but will be dis posed of by sales
r,en employed by the company, much
in the same way the stock of the COM
10 ny has been sold. Arrangements have
been made with a number of banking

Great Bend, Kan, Aug 2.-The
Great Bend baseball public is very
much exercised over the report that
Edward Jokerst of the local baseball

ford, Conn.,, league club providing his
release can be purchased at once and
report not later than August 1. When
seen by a reporter, Killing made the
statement that he was negotiating
with a number of managers that
wanted Jokerst and sale may be
closed any day. If this is done the
"Millers" backstop department will
be very badly crippled and the fans
are wise to this and a movement has
been started to raise sufficient funds
to keep Jokerst and satisfy the local
management so they may retain him
until the close of the season.

on the proposed new uniform per uieH

ed to result from a meeting of the com
mission on interchange of freight cars
formerly called the per diem corlrls-
sion. appointed by the American Rdli-

stood. James McCrea. president of the
Pennsylvania company, will call with
in a week or so. Following the return
of prosperity, which has resulted IN d
large increase in freight tonnage anu
consequent diversion of cars from one
road to another. it is said that some "L
the leading railroad systems have de-
manded that the rev per diem rate be
decided upon as soon as possible
A per diem charge of 80 cents a day
for each car to be assessed against d
road for the use of freight cars belong
ing to another road was agreed upon Dy
the railroads at a meeting in Chicago
In 1905 This charge was later reduced
to 25 cents a day after the business ue-
preston had begun and there was a
large number of idle cars all over the
country. In April. 1908, the number OF
idle cars had reached the unpreceuehl-
ed total of more than 100000.
Since that time business has I'M
proved: there are now only about 25O,-
600 idle cars. many of them anuquatea
or out of repair. and there are already
hints in various parts Of the country Of
car shortage. The assertion
is made that many of the smaller roads
prefer to pay 25 cents a day for the use
of foreign cars rather than build or
buy their own and keep them in repair,
whereas if the rate were increased they
might find it profitable to place orders.
The New York Central and Pennsyl- |
vania and other large systems say it is !
impossible to keep their equipment on
the home lines.
Five railroad presidents, representing !
different sections of the country, have |
been appointed to agree upon new
uniform charge as well as to report on
other subjects connected with the per
diem rules and it is believed that the |
new rate will be considerably higher. |

RILEY SOLDIER IN TROUBLE.
H. NJ BeasIey Charged With Love
Making and DISCRETION.

Junction City, Kan, Aug. "A wo-
man who arrived here from Arkansas
City came to the sheriff's Office to get
a warrant for a soldier at Fort Riley,
H. NJ Beasley of the hospital corps.
1t seems that Beasley met her at her
home in Arkansas over year ago
and promised to marry her.
At the appointed time he did not
show up and the woman was unable
to locate him until a short time ago.
Beasley refused to care for her or her
child, but she will be unable to get
warrant for him in this state. He will
probably be held by the post authori-
ties until the papers arrive.
