of the state convention said:
Il am entirely content with the re-

BROOKINS BEATS TRAIN.
Aviator Has No Trouble to Keep
Ahead of Special Train.

Gilman, Sept. 29.-Greeting the pas
sengers on the special train at Gilman.
Aviator Brookins expressed chagrin at
his failure to bring more oil for his
engine, saying had he provided suffi-
cient he could have continued his
fight to Springfield without effort.
The special train was held at Gilman
until Brookins was about ready to re-
sumo his flight, and from there on
race between the train and airship en-
sued. The aviator went up about l, 500
to 1000 feet, following directly above
the train. At Thawville the train was
even with Brookins, but during the reg
ular stop the aeroplane passed almost
a mile ahead. At Guthrie, passed by
Brookins at 1928 he was two miles
ahead of the special.
Gibson, 10 miles from Gilman, was
passed at 1:36 and Harpster ia miles
from Chicago and "A from Gilman, at
Las.
Brookins passed BeIlf1ower, 40 miles
from Gilman at 1855 and flew over
Weedman, 126 miles from Chicago at
2:07. In passing Weedman, 46 miles
from Gilman, the aviator had compile
ted two-thirds of his fight to Spring
field and had maintained his schedule
throughout. He was one minute ahead
of the special train.

WHITE ELEPHANT.
State Has One on Its Hands,
Says Nation.
Heating Plant Is Proving a
Costly Experiment.
THE BILLS RUN HIGH.
About $4,000 a Year to Keep
1t. Running.
Need $4,000 More to Make
Needed improvements.

The next legislature will have an
other public utilities problem to solve
besides that of control of utilities. 1t
is none other than the states own
lighting and heating plant here in To-
peka The legislature must decide
whether state ownership is a success.
1t must decide whether it is best to
spend another $4,000 on the plant or
dismantle it and buy light and heat
from the Edison company.
State Auditor Nation received COM
munication this week from an Indiana
commissioner who is looking for in
formation for that state in regard to
the cost of maintaining a similar plant
for the Indiana capitol building. The
auditor looked into the matter and his
letter to the Indianan discloses some
rather startling figures in regard to
the cost to the state for light and heat
for the state house.
Mr. Nation found that the pay roll
for the heating plant is $500 per year.
The repair and maintenance bill comes
to about 5000 yearly. More than three
thousand tons of coal are consumed
every year at a cost of S13, 00O- The
plant cost originally $4,000 so the in
terest on the money invested amounts
to $4,000 per year. These figures bring
the total cost to the state for the light
and heating plant up to the round sum
OF SZb,UUO per year. or IllO16 lIldL FAfpoV
per month The service is only fair,
there being a vigorous kick frQIn
many of the offices in cold weather
and suspended elevator service some OF
the time.
It is said that the state has been of
fered light and power for the capitoI
building for 81, 900 a month,
The next legislature likely viii pc
called upon to appropriate $1,000 TO
be used in digging a tunnel and laying
new pipes from the heating plant to
the state house. When this bill comes
IN for discussion it likely viii bring
forth the aforementioned facts in con-
nection with state ownership of the
light and heating plant. Does 1t pay
will be the question asked by the leg
islators.
The auditor is wondering what to
tell the Indiana man in this connection
The state executive council has charge
of affairs relating to the heating plant
and they occupy about one-half of the
councils time and are responsible Tor
most of its worries and gray hairs.
It is not likely that the council Will
make any recomm endations in this
matter to the legislature. That body
can dispose of the question on its
merits. It may give the $4,000 with
out a murmur, or it may spend week
on the $40. 0O0sitem and hear commit
tee reports on the little plant at the
corner of Tenth and Jackson.

Washington. Sept. 29.-Advices have
been received from American Officials
in the Orient that q critical situation
exists in China and an outbreak similar
to the Boxer rebellion of several years
ago would not surprise close observers

Diplomatic officials in China have
