Least Interesting of Week.

Considered in detail the market was
about the least interesting of any day
during the week. Closely affiliated stocks
moved in contrary directions, and in few
instances did price changes pass beyond
fractional limits. Relatively active fea-
lures were Reading. Atchison, Chesapeake
and Ohio, Union and Southern Pacific,
and in the industrial and miscellaneous
group Western Union, Consolidated Gas
and the United tSates Steel shares.
There was no change in the appear
ance of the dealings with the progress of
the morning. Consolidated Gas con-
tinued exceptionally strong, while Third
Avenue was notably weak. Elsewhere
the fluctuations in prices were of the
same limited and irregular character pre-
SiOuSly mentioned.

Bingville
The Washington herald., 1909-07-18

Last week there was a gent from
the city in this vicinity considering
the feezability of building a street
car trolley line from the co. seat
TO HardscrabbIe. His name was
Mister Owen and he IS said to be
a man of great wealth. He was in
HBingville part of one day in com
pany with George Brown, one of
the most reSpeckted and inflooen-
shial citizens Of the CO. seat. who
interdooced him to many of our
most enterprising citizens, mcleod
ing ourself.
Mr.. Owen stated in an interview
with US that il was quite likely that
if he bilt streetcar line from the
co. seat to Hardscrabble that it
would go through Bingville, per-
viding right Of way for the track
could be secured from our citizens
at reasonable rates. He stated that
it would be great thing for Bing-
vile folks to step on a car and ride
to the co. seat for 10 cts. in IS
minutes instid of driving behint a
horse and taking two hours in
summer and mebby FIVE hours in
winter when the mud is hub deep
or the snow drifted so that a person
has to get outen the pung and
shovel a road before he can git
through.
In our opinion Mr.. Owen is
right when he SAYS that a street
car line through our midst would
be a great thing for the town.
Other progressive cities have ST.
car lines, and why shouldn't we?
Espeshially if Hardscrabble has a
st. car line that is suffishent rea-
son why Bingville should have one.
Are we a going TO permit the pusi-
Luminous and one-horse town OF
Hardscrabble to have a st. car line
and US not have one? We should
say not.
Sinst Mr.. Owen visited Bing-
vile the coming st. car line has
been the talk of the town. Every
night this new projeckt is vilently
discussed pro and con down to Hen
Weathersby's store, where our most
repseckted citizens gathers evg's
for sochial intercourse and to
smoke and chew tobacker.
Unless some of them as lives
along the line of the proposed
streetcar line are willing to come
down on the price Of their land,
however, we have our doubts if the
st. car line will ever 60 through our
midst.
Take Cy Hoskins. for instants.
ICy has a 10-acre piece of stony
land back of his barn through
The Washington herald., 1909-07-18

which thc "a. cars would likely
pass. Cy not long ago offered this
piece OF land to Ab Sloconb for
S6 acre and Alb wouldn't take If.
Then Cy told Alb to make him a
offer for it at his own price and
Alb didn't even want Il at that
hgger. Now, however, Cy saws the
st. car company will half 10 paw
him hundred dollars a acre for
this land if they want to bid a ST.
car line through him. Others who
owns land along the route have
boosted up the prices Of their land
accordingly.
This IS sinlplysridiculous. How
can we ever expeckt 10 have a st.
car line if Bingville folks acts ike
this. What does Cy HoSkins and
others OF our citizens care for the
human progress OF Bingville? +?
Nothing. No: what they care for
first, last, and all the time. is the
almighty dollar. Then there is
others who maintains that we have
got along without a st. car line
ever sinst Bingville was laid out
and that we can git along without
one in the futchure. They say that
they don't want ST. cars TO go a
rushin past their residences skeer-

CLICK OF HAMMER
1t Is Heard on Every Street in
Topeka Now.
Building is Going on With In
creased Activity.
PROPERTY In DEMAND
Kansas Avenue Building Lots
Are Increasing i'm Value.
Growth of City Is of Healthy,
Vigorous Character.
PROPERTY In DEMAND

The clink of the hammer is heard on
all sides in Topeka and this is as ma
lodious music to the ear of those who
are boosters and maintain that TO
peka will It is no boom that has
struck the capital city, but a natural
development, the magnitude of which
is seen On every hand, and still those
who actually live amidst this scene of
hustle often fail to realize the sig
nificance ring of the hammer or more
frequently become so used to the
sounds Indicative of prosperity that
they fail to take notice of them. This
week Kansas avenue has more than
ever bristIed with Instructions and pc
destrians find it necessary to dodge in
and out among the piles of building
material along the thoroughfare. More
over there is news of more activity IN
the building line along Topeka's broad
business street.
The hustle in the way of building is
by no means confined to the busin ess
portions of the city. for the record
which was made during 1908 of 4S5 new
dwellings, for the resident districts DDS
fair to being eclipsed during the pres
ent year. Aside from the new resi-
dences which are going up, many NJ
the old houses are being thoroughly re-
modelled and modernized. The condl-
ton of affairs has come to the point
for several of hte leading contractors
to take on all the work which is offered
them. Calls that have recently been
made for bids have met with but little
response.
A real estate dealer who took a trip
this week to Ellis county reports that
he was surprised to find that the peo-
pie there were taking an interest In
Topeka real estate.
One man in this district said that he
was contemplating moving to Topeka
in the near future. In times past 1t has
been the custom for farmers when they
more farm land in order to grow more
corn with which to feed more pigs to
bring in more coin to buy more corn
land etc, but now the tendency is to
invest their money in city property.
There has been frequent inquiry of
late in regard to real estate in Topeka
by this class of people. Another point
of interest is that the people in genera!
and the farmers are being educated up,
so to speak, to the point where they re-
quire better houses. A land dispenser
remarked that even though hundreds
of modern houses have been erected
known a time when there was greater
demand for dwellings of an up-to-date
type. There are some vacant houses
in the city but they are mostly of the
to a great dearth of houses of anv de-
scriptiOn by the time that the fall
months have fairly set in. There are
good many people with moderate
means who are buying property and
erecting houses and selling them and
putting the proceeds Immediately into
further property. This is a very good
indication that these individuals have
unwavering faith in the future of To-
peka.
Farm Lands Moving
The era of prosperity extends to the
farming districts adjacent to Topeka.

marked the cold-b blooded miner as he
glared at the agonized victim, who
seemed at the verge of death. Miller
gasped and raised his feeble frame, then
he sank back exhausted while Ryan
stood watching him and sneering.
The incident which caused the ulti-
mate wounding of one man and the
death of two others and which may
send Ryan to the gallows started in a
barroom brawl. The night before the
shooting Ryan, who is a member or
the Western Federation of Miners and
who travelled for that organization,
became involved in an alteration with
Miller, who was a porter at the United
States hotel. Miller is said to have
knocked the miner down and then
kicked his enemy.
Brooding over this injury the van
quished mining man became so en-
ragged that when he saw Miller on the
evening after the barroom fracas he
opened fire on him with an automatic
revolver
Throughout the preliminary hearing
yesterday the prisoner maintained
greater calm than anyone else con-
nected with the case. His attitude was
that of a genial and care free specta"
tor of the whole affair and in dull
moments he read the sporting page OF
a newspaper and cheWed tobacco
One statement of DIR. Edward II. Car
rett who was placed on the stand to
explain the manner in which Miller's
wounds were treated, seemed to greatly
amuse the man whose life hangs in
the balance.
The surgeon stated that in ninety
nine cases out of 100 such wound re-
suited in death, and to make his state
ment stronger added: "If ! wanted 70
kill man myself would shoot him in
the abdomen" This remark interested
Ryan, who put aside his paper and
nodded and grinned approvingly at the
witness.
Blood soaked clothes taken from the
body of Miller and exhibited in the
courtroom as evidence caused a vince
from the iron n-nerved miner. He glanced
casually at the exhibit and then lis
tened with a cynical smile to the sharT
questions of his counsel
When the hearing was concluded anc
Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-07

Justice Ling bound Ryan over to the
superior court without bail the prisoner
rolled cigarette. He had lighted 1t
and was putting away merrily when the
handouts were slipped over his wrists
A morbid crowd of bystanders stood
about the prisoner and laughed and
chatted with him until he was led
away to the county Jail. The whole
affair appeared to appeal to Ryan as an
amusement enterprise staged for his
benefit
The same witnesses who were exam
ined at the autopsy were before the
court and the testimony was of con-
yincing nature. Fred w. Morrison,
counsel for Ryan, introduced no evil
dence but examined the witnesses with
an eye to legal points. He took many
exceptions, which indicate that he in
tends to try technical defense in the
superior court.
Witnesses testified that Ryan was
cool at all times. 1t was brought out
that he went up to Detective Mccain
after his arrest and placed his finger
near the officers temple with the re-
mark: II tried to hit him there"
