BUCKEYE ROAD TRAFFIC
UP TO EXPECTATIONS
Superintendent Scott Says, Business Is
Constantly Increasing.

There isn't a doubt but that the
Buckeye railroad is destined to a great
future" said Superintendent c. M
Scott of the MaricoDa & Phoenix rail-
road. yesterday, land already its i'm
portance is more than manifested by
the traffic going over il. OF course it
is mot as heavy as it might be. but it
is fully up to our expectations and is
growing daily.
I'VE still have a large force of men
at work upon the completion of the
roadbed. There is a large amount of
grading remaining unfinished. but this
in no way interferes with the running
of trains. The men are engaged in fill
ing between the ties and along the
right of-way as far as actual construc-
ton has been carried"
Mr. Scott said that the Southern Pa
cific lines out of Phoenix were enjoy
ing almost unprecedented business
both in the passenger and freight traf-
fic and from the number of people seen
purchasing tickets at the local office
this seems to be true.

THAT TROUSERS THIEF
STILL DOING BUSINESS
Visits Another City Water Department
EmpIoye But Makes Poor Haul.

Burglar or burglars operating in Phoe-
nix have suddenly turned their at
tention to attaches of the city water
department. Just why does not APP
pear, and even Chesterfield. the clary
voyant, is unable to shed any light up
on the matter. OF course it is reason
able to suppose that there are some
misguided individuals in the world who
might become imbued with the idea
that because a man is working for a
department of a municipality that is
running at a profit, he would be fair
ly rolling in coin, but the pickin's up
to date haven't seemingly been worth
the burglars effort.
Following upon the heels OF the at
tempted burglary of the home of Su
perintendent V. Avery Thompson on
Sunday night, comes the report of the
operations of a burglar or a sneak
thief upon Jay Towers, of 1900 East
Van Buren, street. Mr. Towers is a
pipe man in the employ of the water
department and Mr.. Towers sleeps on
the porch of his home these warm
nights.
On Monday night Mr.. Towers retired
at his usual hour and having prepared
his cot, slipped his trousers under his
pillow. He hadn't a penny in the
pockets or any other valuable article.
But they made a good pillow and be-
sides he felt that he would know where
TO put his hand upon them in the morn
ing.
While Mr. Towers slept the burglar
or sneak thief came and deity slipped
the trousers from under the pillow and
made away with them. They haven't
been seen since. They were OF the va
riety vulgarly known as bibb overalls.

THE EMERGENCY HAT.

During the last days of summer
after the first -the-s season hat mas
lost it's freshness and before II is
time to buy the fall chapeau. every
woman needs something new or some
thing fixed up for the remainder OF
the season. One woman calls TINS

emergency hat. If you have noth-
ing fit for retrimming. buy a nat
from the bargain counters. which are
now full of good shapes that the
stores do not want to carry over TO
next season. A black hat may be
worn late in the fall and is pretty
when trimmed with a vCeath of roses
red, if you want bright color OF
white or any of the pale shades OF
your taste runs that way. "a black
hat may be trimmed with black and
white ribbon. white lace bows wired
or with pretty white wings. Dark
straw are always good purchases. as
they may be worn later than the light
straws without seeming to be out of
season.

THE ZOO.

Topekans have not been slow to
recognize the desirability of establish
ing geological garden in one of their
parks, and they have acted with their
accustomed celebrity and discretion in
starting this project well on its way.
A fine herd of deer has been obtained
already, through the liberality of a
number of public spirited citizens.
These interesting animals, with the
buffaloes that are going to be landed
eventually in Topeka, will form an
excellent nucleus for zoo.
And while this zoo is .baing de-
veloped and enlarged it might be we'll
for those who are the prime movers
in the enterprise, and those city Off
Gals who will have charge of it, to
keep in mind the fact that many of
the commoner kind of animals will
make most interesting exhibits There
are any number of animals in and
about this section of the county with
which most people are familiar as to
theOr names, such as 'possums, rae
coons, coyotes, the smaller variety of
wolves, foxes, squirrels, and even cot
ton tails and jack rabbits. But it is
likely that any number of people in
the city, children especially, have as
vet to see many of these common ami
mails in life, and dens of them would
enchance the attractiveness of the
local zoo considerably. A little
prairie dog farm might also be estab-
| lished. Such an exhibit attracts as
much attention in the famous Bronx
Geological garden in New York as
does any of the many other unusual
animal displays there which have
made it the peer of any zoo in the
world.
The expense involved in the collec-
ton of these commoner animals would
be trif1ing. In fact, because these
animals are so common, or considered
so, many people may be inclined to
smile and think it would be hardly
worth while to go to the trouble OF
getting them and maintaining them
1t is just such animals as these
though. that help to make up the per
feet zoo. They are quite as interesting
as rarer animals which can only BIZ
obtained at considerable expense. AND
if excellent specimens of them are
given place in the Topeka zoo at ths
very start, an interest will be engen
dered in this institution that will as
sure it's permanency and success.

When Is a Duck a Dog?

A dog warden with an impediment
in his speech has thrown the official
archives of the borough of Haledon
N. J., into such confusion that he has
been paid and dismissed and his place
taken by another dog warden, who
enunciates distinctly every syllable in
every word in every speech he makes.
It was because William Orr, former
" dog warden, left much to be desired
in his experiments with the English
language that the records Of Haledon
show there are more dogs IN the Dor
ough than anybody suspected were
ever there. There is no tax on ducks
in Haledon, but there is a tax on dogs.
The fact that Orr in asking, How
many dogs have you?" always made
that query sound like, "How many
ducks have your" is responsible for
the large increase, on paper only. of
the number of dogs in Haledon.
There will be a recount of the ca
nine population of Haledon. as the au-
thorities fear that for every duck that
really exists in the borough there is a
fictitious dog on the books.-New York
