him why he had sold out his share of

Santa Fe to Spend Money for Nulner-
Gus improvements.

Guthrie, Ok, July 12.-There is a
general expectation here of orders for
Improvement work here planned for
the Santa Fe railroad. The company's
year closed June 80, and it is expected
the appropriations necessary to carry
out the plan already adopted will be
made at once. The estimates have
been made for an addition to the union
station, for a new freight station, for
extension of the south yards and
other features, all to cost in the
neighborhood of 100000. Agree
ments are completed between the city
and the company for gates and paving

ORIENT BUY MADISON BRANCH:
Reported That ST. Louis Traffic Will
Go This WAY,

The report is to the effect that the
Orient will reballast the Madison
branch of the Missouri Pacific, put in
new ties and lay heavier steel. The
ST. Louis traffic from the southwest
will go over the Madison branch, while
the Kansas City business will go over
the new line, which will probably go
northeast into Usage county. thence to
the city on the Kaw.
This will give Madison G. division
point, an excellent outlet for the
southwest and probably better and
more direct service to Kansas City.
The new proposition looks unusual
ly good On paper. 1t is certain that
the Orient will build somewhere ia
that territory.

The Topeka ball club, which left for
st. Joseph for four games presents a
further altered lineup. Walsh, new
third sacker. has been taken on by
Cooley and has thrown joy into his
heart. Hes just the kind of third
baseman I've been looking for. Lots
of ginger, talking all the time-and
a good whip. He can hit, too, and
can bunt and is a whirlwind on the
bases" is the way Owner Cooley in
PRODUCES him. No more can be desir-
ed. This opinion was derived from
Welsh's exhibition with the Cooleysox
Sunday at Wichita. The scorers fail
ed to get the change somehow and the
box did not shoy him. The new man
was picked from Victoria, Texas, and
had no strings on him. The new man

Billy White, who has joined the
team has not been playing much on
the coast and is not in condition. His
usefulness will be postponed awhile.
The loss of Landreth at first is the
trouble with the Cooleys just now. Big
short time, but his sprained ankle is
bad one.
'I think that if I can find a good
first baseman I'll have a good club.
That is all need. If find one Lam
dreth probably will be shifted back to

as though Cooley means IT when he
says he probably will not get back in
to the game himself. Boles has been

there to be the prize all around cham

The novice accordingly approached

Her screams for a time aroused no

from points farther east and after

In speaking Of the outlook for his
election Mr.. Lafferty expressed optim-
ism this morning. Yet he is making
no claims Of his election. "One can
never tell about that until after the
votes are counted" he declared.
In his present campaign Lafferty is
using much the same arguments that
he used in opposing Judge w. r. Ell.
lis for the republican nomination. He
says that If elected he will introduce
bill to restore irrigation money to
Oregon. He also criticises the forest
ry service and urges state instead of
national control of the reserves.
Owing to throat trouble Mr.. Laf-
ferty will deliver no speeches in this
county but instead will devote his time
to personally meeting and talking
with people.

his brother, ]. c. QUAINT, who was ac-

Regarding the unfortunate affair the
Oakland Advance say:
The day of his tragic death, he and
his only son, s c. QUAINT, had been
at work as usual, and about 2:20
o'clock p. m. they parted near the
shop, the son going to the depot to
board the 1880 train for Eugene. while
Mr., QUAINT went to the market. After
short conversation with the meat
cutter, ]. H. Meas, he said he would
go to the rear and clean his gun. This
was the last seen Of him until about
five minutes later, when r L. Settle,
on going to the back room to see him
on business, found him dead. a bull
let from the rifle he was cleaning hav-
ing struck him just above the ear. As
near as can be ascertained from the
surroundings, he was cleaning the gun
as the oil can, cleaning rags and rod
were near 1t is supposed he un-
knowingly loaded the gun, as IL was
an automatic, and in some manner
it was discharged, with the fatal re-

ASTUTE SERVANT GAINS
BY MASTERS GALIiANTRY

Paris.-Amusing is the story which
is related OF the adventure of a Rus
sian nobleman, who has been spend
ing a few weeks in Paris. On the
evening Of his arrival he went to a
theatre, and thinking it would be only
polite to present a bouquet to the
heroine of the play, he dispatched his
servant with very pretty one, and
then forgot all about it. Great was
his astonishment when. on the eve
of his departure, a call from the ac-
tress was announced. Beaming with
smiles, she said to the nobleman: 81
have come to thank you for your
incessant and delicate attentions"
You are extremely kind" he re-
piled modestly; "as l only sent you
one bouquet, and that month ago,
II I remember rightly"
why" the fair artist answered,
"'your servant has brought me one
every evening" Q
A pull at the bell, and the man ap-
peared. He was promptly questioned.
and this, according to the story. was
his frank answer: When I took the
fist bouquet the lady gave me five
frances. and as 1t only cost me three,
went on" What followed on this
candid confession is left to the imag-
ination.
