The value of a 800 piano 'certifcats'
was shown this week when an Old
woman in need Of means tried TO dis
pose of certificate. She is a resident
of the East End, which is situated
about five miles from the downtown
district A niece who solved this
puzzle was awarded a certificate. Tha
old lady in her joy thought she had
come upon something of great value
and walked to the city because she
needed the carfare. She made her way
through piano row TO offer her bond
and when night came she found her
self without carfare to return and the
bond unsOld- Then she made her
second trip to the house that had issued
the certificate and explained that she
had been trying to dispose of the cer-
tifcate all the afternoon, but without
success, and asked that she be given
five cents that she might ride home
The manag ger of the store refused even
this small sum. A salesman in the
store. however, gave the old woman a
quarter. She tore the certificate into
bits "a she went on her way to the car
The above story shows the actual
worth of the piano bond. Yours has

Bale P. Waggener Celebrated
His Sixty-SecOnd Birthday.
Has Given Children a Picnic An
nuaIIy for Past Ten Years.
TEN THOUSAND THERE
Special Trains Brought Young
sters From Every Direction.
Event Was One of Unalloyed
Pleasure for Young and Old.

Atchison, Kan, July 2O.-Success
crowned the efforts of B. P. Waggener
in celebrating his sixty-second birth
day and having as his guests ten
thousand children. Before 8 O'Clock
in the morning Commercial street was
lined with town children. Each one
was equipped with a noise making in
strument and a flag. The arrival of
the Missouri Pacific train from Huron
and the Santa Fe from Nortonville
sWelled the crowds of boys and girls,
but not until the Muscotah special ar
rived at the Union depot did Mr.. Wag-
gener's friends begin to realize the
magnitude of the event.
Special Trains Bring Many Children.
Fifteen coaches loaded to the limit
composed the special from Muscotah.
Six coaches were set out at bingham
and nine were taken to Muscotah-
When the special reached Atchison,
children were packed in the cars like
sardines. It is estimated that fully
1000 children came to Atchison on
the special.
Mr.. Waggener and his granddaugh-
ter, Louise, went to Muscotah, leaving
here at 1880. On the return trip the
train reached Atchison a few minutes
before noon. The bingham band was
on the train, and when the decorated
engine pulled into the Union depot a
cheer went up from a thousand or
more men, women and children who
had assembled on the PLATFORM 10
meet the train.
Host Greatly Enjoyed Occasion.
Mr.. Waggener's face beamed with
smiles as he alighted from the first
coach. He knew the day was all that
could be wished for and the hundreds
of children were making the best of it.
A cab was in waiting at the north en-
trance of the depot for Mr.. sWaggener
and he with his granddaughter, and
two of her girl friends, rode in the
parade. The line of the parade from
the depot to Eighth and Commercial
streets was as follows:
Fred Hartman, marshal; Thirteenth
Infantry band; B. P. Waggener's car
riage; two troops of Fifteenth cavalry;
twenty-three automobiles; bingham
band In front of the Exchange Ma
tional bank a platform was erected
for Mayor ALBANIAN and the council,
who reviewed the parade. Either side
of the street was crowded to standing |

Absorption of Beaumont and Great
Northern Completed.
Trinity, Tex, July 2O.-The Beau
mont and Great Northern railroad,
which runs from Trinity to Knox, a
distance of forty miles, it is said, has
passed into the hands of the Frisco
interests. 1t will be extended south
east to Beaumont, a distance of 100
miles, where it will connect with the
Beaumont, Sour Lake e. Western,
Frisco property. The acquired road
was built originally as a logging line
It penetrates the heart of one of the
best virgin timber regions of eastern
Texas. This timber belt extends all
the way along the route of the pro-
posed extension. 1t connects with
the international and Great Northern
and the Missouri. Kansas & Texas
railroads at Trinity. An extension of
several miles was built a short time
ago. It is said to be one of the best
constructed and equipped short lines
in Texas. 1t is stated that when the
road is finished to Beaumont it will
probably be extended further. the
port of Sabine Pass being the o5jec-
tive deep-water terminal.

will probably be used by z. H Harri-
man and associates as the upper link
of the proposed San Antonio City of

connects with the Southern Pacific
railroad at Macedonia and with the
International and Great Northern
railroad at Kirk. 1t avoids the wide
strip of sand which lies between San
Antonio and Pleasanton and pene-
trates the heart of the artesian water
belt of south Texas. The Artesian
Belt is projected to run south to some
point on the Rio Grande, but it is
considered improbable that both it

Salina met at the Bachelor store and
took the preliminary steps for the or
ganization of the Salina Retail Mer-
chants association.
The object of the association is to
encourage trade to come to Salina
from out of town, instead of going to
Topeka, Wichita, Kansas City and to
the cat houses in Chicago.
The merchants will offer as an in
ducement to trade in Salina a rebate
scheme to customers who come in
here to buy theiF goods.
BY this plan, out of town custom
ers who come to SaIina to trade can
have their railway fare refunded in
cash, provided their purchases
amount to a certain amount. All the
railway fare up to a certain per cent
of the purchase made will be re-
funded to the out of town purchaser.

A SENSATIONAL DIVORCE CASE
Husband Charges That Baby in the
Case Was Not Born to Wife.

Wichita, Kan, July 20.-Evidence
in a divorce case which will attract
widespread attention is being gather
ed in this city. The evidence is re-
plete with sensations. Fred Shrader,
a wealthy man of Cedarvale, Kan,
has been sued by his wife for di-
vorce. The case was started early in
1907, and in order to strengthen heS
plea for alimony, Mrs. Shrader de-
cIared that she expected soon to give
birth to a child. She contends now
that this child, a girl, was born at
the Lenox Sanitarium at 1925 East
Douglas avenue, in June, 1908.
Mr. Shrader, who is contesting the
suit. says that he has not been guilty
of non-support, as charged, and sub
nits the testimony of a CedarvaIe
banker who declares that Mrs. Shra-
der had a checking privilege in his
bank which was good for $4,000 at
least.
Mr. Shrader also declares that his
wife was not expecting the birth of a
child when she brought this suit, and
that she has not given birth to a
child He says the girl which his
wife claims was born at the Lenox
Sanitarium in June, 1908, was not
born there, is not the child of him

Everything Free to Children.
Following the parade the streets
were cleared by thescavalry and the
fire department gave an exhibition
run The crowd then went to the
park where the Thirteenth infantry
band gave two free concerts, a free
matinee was given at the air dome, an
expert diver performed in the lake
where was free lemonade for all, free
merry go-round rides for the children,

tire event ended without an accident
and no man was arrested for disor-
derby conduct.
Everybody Helped Celebrate.
The whole town was in lavish attire
to celebrate the birthday of it's illus
trious citizen. AS Mr.. Waggener look
flags and bunting were flying to the
breeZes in lavish and yet artistic pro-
fusion, he could not ut feel that the
town had entered into the celebration
with a le-heartedness hat was in
deed gratifying.
Those who did not decorate were
busy helping Mr.. Waggener celebrate
in other ways by lending hand in the
general demonstration that mark a
celebration that has far outgrown the
town and county, and will live always
as monument to the memory of the
man who organized it. Every street
car had flying flags on it's roof, every
upon them, and even the milk men,
some of them coming into town very
early in the morning, had their horses
harness decorated with flags.
