The Concert at Newton.
The company stopped at Newton
Tuesday night and gave a concert in
Carnegie hall. Usually the concerts
are given at the reading rooms but at
Newton the reading room has no
auditorium large enough for this pur-
pose, and so the hall at the public
library. donated to the town by one,
a. Carnegie, is rented by the Santa
Fe for these occasions. The hall
holds about four hundred people and
was filed to capacity Tuesday night.
The audience stood for the show all

way Circles.

A Union Pacific rumor that is gain
ing quite bit Of circulation through
out kansas towns along the main line
will mean great deal to Topeka, if al
the plans are realized as is now ru-
mored.
The rumors picture a suburban mo-
tor service between Kansas City and
Topeka, which may start within 60 days
1t is said that the company is having
two fine new motor cars built in the
company shops at Omaha, built along
the same lines as the Leavenworth-
Lawrence motor car only of larger pro-
portions, which are to be placed on the
run between Topeka and Kansas City.
These cars are to make four round
trips each day, and a rate will be
charged of but one fare for the round
trip. This service, together with the
four regular trains and the new trains
which is to be installed on April 4, will
give Topeka almost hourly service to
and from Kansas City. This train
wish to go to either Topeka or Kansas
City and remain but a short time In
either town.
Should this proposition be carried to
a successful conclusion it will no doubt
work havoc with the numerous electric
line propositions which are tending this
way from Kansas City. With the Un
ion Pacific running electric motor cars
over its rails it would be almost use
less for another company to enter the
same field of competition.
The Union Pacific is in a good posi-
ton to install such a service. 1t owns
a double track between Topeka and
Kansas City, which lessons the chances
the Rock Island uses the same tracks,
there would be but little difficulty from
this source with all the trains running
in the same direction.

BUSINESS FAIR.
Nearly All Lines of Trade Are
Showing an Excess
In Turn Over as Compared With
Last Year.
PRICE REDUCTIONS
Have Caused Some Activity in
Iron and Steel.
Bank Clearings in Excess of
the Previous Week.

New York, March 20.-Bradstreet's
says:
The introduction of the new tariff
bill in congress and the advance of
the spring jobbing season toward its
close have made for rather quieter
tone in trade this week. A fair buSi-
ness is doing in nearly all lines and
the turnover is in excess of a year
ago at this date, but conservatism
rules.
Spring jobbing activity has passed
it's zenith, buying is only to cover i'm
mediate necessities, the results of
Easter trade at retail are awaited with
interest, collections are only fair, and
the volume of business done this
spring Sc far is, in some respects, dis
appointing.
Jobbing trade seems to have quieted
down at a number of markets east and
west; Chicago, ST. Louis and Kansas
City, in the west, and New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston in
the east, reporting some reduction in
demand. partly explainable by the ad
vance of the season and the return of
buyers to their homes.
Price reductions in iron and steel
have brought out some new business,
but unsettlement still rules. Stocks
are accommodating and prices are weak.
Additional reports of wage reductions
come from iron and steel interests.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending with March
1S were 224 against 54 last week, 303
in the like week of 1908, 1877 in 1907,
40 in 1906 and 204 in 1905.
Business failures in Canada for the
week number 80 which compares
with 40 last week and 80 in the same
week last year.
Wheat, including -four, exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending March Is aggregate L.
S64,O13 bushels against 2,889,84 last
week and 2,763,021 this week last
year. For the 38 weeks ending March
49, this year, the exports are 1884,
073.513 bushels against 164,25 ,0SS in
the corresponding period last year.
Corn exports for the week are $685.
2S2 bushels against 930,84S last week
and 383,649 in 1908. For 3S weeks
ending March Is, corn exports are

UNION PACIFIC PLANS.
E. T. Lomax Tells Denver That Town
VIII Be on Main Line.

Denver, Colo, March 2O.-"The I'm
ion Pacific road certainly is going to
put Denver on the main line from
coast to coast, and do everything in
it's power to direct passenger traffic
east and west through this city in the
future
e. T. Lomax, general passenger
agent of the road, who is here from
Omaha, made the above announce
ment yesterday.
Then, to prove what he said, he out
lined the following new service, either
from or through Denver, to the coast
which will be inaugurated shortly:
Through sleepers from Denver to
Los Angeles, via Cheyenne and Salt
Lake City, without change of cars.
Through sleepers from Denver to
Oakland, via Cheyenne and Salt Lake,
without change of cars.
Through service from st. Louis to
Denver and then from Denver to the
coast.
Through service from Buffalo, Pitts
burg and ST. Louis, via Denver, Chey-
enne and Salt Lake, to the coast.
This will be the result of the new
train service which goes in effect April
4 and which will connect st. Louis
with California and the Northwest.
Topeka will profit the same as Denver
and will also be on the main line
