TRADE OUTLOOK GOOD.
Dun 6, Co. Says Backward Movement
of Business Has Been Stopped.

New York, Oct. 29-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
While the volume of business is still
below productive capacity, it is note
worthy that trade recession has clear
ly been checked, and a more optimistic
view as to the future developed, based
largely on the great corn and oats crop
and the high values of farm products.
1t is true that no marked advance has
been made toward increased activity
but the mere stopping of the retrograde
movement is a notable gain, especially
as the railroad rate controversy is still
unsettled. While many consumers of
iron and steel still show conservatism
in their operations, signs of actual i'm
provement in business are not lacking.
The trend of dry goods values con-
tinues upward, owing to the high price
of raw material. The demand from dis
tributors for spring has been fair but
not active. Mems wear is showing i'm
provement while dress goods rule very
quiet. The cotton goods markets hold
steady, at advanced price levels and the
mills are gradually getting into work
ing order on full time, but not with
full compliments of machinery.
Trade in foot wear continues to i'm
prove, although business is considerably
below normal.

FRISCO TO CITY OF MEXICO.
Construction of TampicO Line Will
Complete Route,

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 29.-That the
Frisco soon will realize it's long cher
ished aim of a through line from Kan
sas City and st. Louis to the City of
Mexico seems certain. Frisco stock
has taken a perceptible jump since the
recent alliance with the Southern Pa
cific lines in Texas, by which the
Frisco now is able to maintain through
service between Kansas City and Gal
weston. From Galveston south to
Brownsville, where a new bridge has
just been opened over the Rio Grande
the Frisco has the st. Louis,
Brownsville & Mexico road. Arrange
ments already have been started, ac-
cording to current reports, for a traf-
fic alliance between the Frisco and the
National Railways of Mexico, which
will be consummated, it Is said, as soon
as a line is built from Tampico to the
City of Mexico.
1t is announced on good authority
that the construction of this road will
be started as soon as the locating work
can be done and formal approval given
it by the government. This line was
started a few years ago by the Mexican
Central railroad and about twenty-five
miles of track we're laid, but work was
suspended when that road passed into
the hands of the National Railways.

Santa Fe Harmony Tourists
Have a Sunday Date.

ChilIicOthe, Missouri.
HAMILTON THE MAN.
Claims Attorney to Make First
Church Address.
Other Items OF General Inter.
est in Traffic World.

The Santa Fe through its publicity
= department and the work of the "har-
mony tourists has broken all world
records for getting acquainted with the
people, shaking the hands of the ru-
ralists, wearing the paint from the tops
of pickle barrels and throwing peanut
shucks on the floor of the general
store.
These records are conceded to the
officials of the Santa Fe by all other
railroads-none oSthem have a word to
say in opposition to the honors obtain
ed by the Topeka officers along these
lines
This much for what the Santa Fe
has done-in it's face it looks as though
this is enough for any road to treas
Santa F'e. The Santa Fe is never sat-
isfied with a few broken records-they
must make new records-and then
break them over again.
The latest sensation in railroad pub
licity circles will be pulled off by the
Santa Fe Sunday, November 6. Listen,
here it is:
The Mems club of the Presbyterian
church of Chillicothe. Mo-, have sent
for the officials of the Santa F'e to
visit their church on the above men
toned date and make an address on
the railroad rate question:
The letter was written to President
Ripley Of the Santa F'e and he receiv-
ed it while in Topeka the other day.
He turned the letter over to ]. R.
Koontz. general freight agent and the
latter has arranged for a big program
at Chillicothe.
j. D. NJ. Hamilton, claims attorney,
will be the principal speaker of the
Sunday event He will speak on 1.-THE
Railway and It's Employees and Their
Relation to the People and the Gov
eminent"
This is the first Sunday engagement
made by Mr.. Koontz, who is at the
head of the publicity department and
it is a criterion for many more Sun
day dates-the Chillicothe meeting will
be big attraction for other churches
in the country to follow.

ia EA lightful little story miss
H. Selma Lue' will be pleased
lisa M to hear that the author,
lEEzxA III Maria Thompson Davies,
has written new and more
pretentious novel just published by the
Bobbs-Merrin company. 1t is THE
Road to Providence" 1t may be said
briefly, at the start, and without ex-
aggeration, that Miss Daviess' new
book is just as good as it's name, whole
some, sweet with human kindness,
juicy with humorous philosophy.
Mother Mayberry, its chief character,
is own cousin to Miss Selma Lue, who,
with her soap-boX babies, made such
a host of friends when she appeared
on the pages of the authors previous
story last year. AS Miss Selma Lue
was guardian of the entire river Bluff
so Mother Mayberry looks after Provi-
country doctors wife, the mother Of
a distinguished physician, she herself
is equal to curing any ailment from
teething to tisic. Large, radiating,
capable, she Elves by the side of the
road and is a friend to every man,
woman and child who comes along it.
Cheer, clothes, cake, roses, whatever
is needed, she gives with free hand and
warm heart. Naturally, being kin to
Miss Selma Lue, Mother Mayberry is
inclined not only to mothering but to
epigrams. When she speaks, the milk
is in the cocoanut every time. WON
dering how Eve stood things muster
took Adams mind often himself to a
very comforting degree" But senti-
ment. piety, worldly wisdom, humor,
practically and coquetry are all blend
ed in Mother Mayberry, and surpris-
ing as it may seem, they all mix thor
oughly, with the result that life seen
through the compound is a beautiful,
dignified, useful, serious, happy affair.

In these days when so many writer's
are concerning themselves with prob

refreshing to come across a novel
which is a story pure and simple with
no problems, no ''isms' in it. Such
a novel is Mabel Osgood Wright's lat

lished. The principal character,
dubbed Princess Flower Hat by Bar
bara-the old Barbara of some of Mrs.
Wright's previous stories-is a woman
of temperament and fascination who
owing to environment never had a
chance to be her real self. The events
which center around her endeavor to
break away from society and make a
country home for herself after certain
preconceived ideas, comprise a delight
full. amusing, quick-moving comedy.
Many of the princess ideas were of

that she was done with lovers for,

WILL SAVE THE CATS.
Politics Intervenes on Behalf of Leav-
enWoPth FelineS.

Leavenworth, Kan. Oct. 29.-Fear
of possible political complications has
deferred the police from making any
attempt to kill unmuzzled cats in
Leavenworth, but the order for the
muzzling of all dogs is being strictly
enforced. Police armed with shot
guns are patrolling streets outside the
business district to kill unmuzzled
dogs, but at noon only three dogs had
been killed.
A dog showing every symptom of
rabies was found on a downtown street
yesterday afternoon and penned up
for observation. The animal died last
night and a post mortem examination
showed that it's death was due to
rabies. This information was COM
municated to the police this morning
and the patrolmen were instructed to
observe all dogs carefully for symp-
toms of rabies.
Most cats are family pets and the
city commissioners are afraid that a
wholesale killing of them will stir up
the women. The women have a vote
in Kansas and the commissioners are
not going out of their way to do things
that might have an influence on the
woman vote next spring.
The few dogs left at Fort Leaven-
worth are muzZled and penned up, and
only few cats are at large.
So far as is known here there have
been only five persons in the city and
at Fort Leavenworth bitten by animals
believed to have rabies. TheSe are the
, two officers and two enlisted men Bit
ten by bulldog at Fort Leavenworth
and a boy in the city who was bitten
by a cat. All took the Pasteur treat
ment.
DIR. C. r. Carpenter, city health Off
Ger, said today that he had reports of
eight cases in the county in the last
two months and had heard of many
farm animals having been bitten by
! dogs which showed symptoms of
rabies. Doctor Carpenter talked with
health officers in adjoining counties
and was told of several cases of rabies
in humans and of many cows and
horses and other farm animals having
been bitten. He Immediately COM
municated with the state board of
health and the order issued today
probably is the result of an investiga-
ton made by the board.
'HThe situation is alarming" Doctor
CARPENTER said. 1.-THE order to muzzle
all dogs should be obeyed at once"

CUMNIINs IN KANSAS CITY.
Iowa Senator Is Introduced by Bristow
of Kansas.

Kansas City, Kan, Oct. Ex-senator
A. B. Cummins, of Iowa, addressed an
audience here last night at a meeting
under the auspices of the Wyandotte
County Republican club. Senator JOS
eph L. Bristow, of Kansas, introduced
the speaker.
Senator Cummins said it would be
useless for the progressives and the
regulars to attempt to convince the
public that no material differences ex-
listed between them as the line was
sharply drawn.
"If every Republican who believes
that the tariff was not revised down.
ward votes the Democratic ticket we
shall have a Democratic house." he said
in speaking of the tariff.
The meeting was held in a tent and
the temperature lowered near 40 de-
grees. However, the audience was not
large.

VINO can teach her now to make
home.
Kate Trimble Sharber is the author
of THE Annals of Ann" just pub
lished by the Bobbs-MerriIl company.
All sorts and conditions of fun are
to be found in this story of life and
love as seen through the eyes of
little girl. Ann is at the age when to
giggle is as natural as to breathe and
by means of a delightful contagion,
the reader speedily catches the habit
and giggles with her. At the gawky
age, as Ann calls it, new ideas tumble
over each other in their haste to find
expression, and life fairly floods the
young mind and heart New England
Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is not
more charming than this little south
ern girl on her plantation home with
it's big old-fashioned house far back
in the yard, and always the smell of
apples upstairs But Ann is by no
means another Rebecca-she has her
own personality, distinct and endearing.
She is just as imaginative, but she is
far more romantic, is less practical,
more gay, gentle, happy, winsome.
Poverty has never cast its shadow on
her spirits nor has ill-treatment
sharpened her temper. A more nor
NAL child than her New England cou-
sin, she is quite as full of quaintnesses
and individuality. Rebecca has made
4 her way through all sorts of weather,
Ann seems wholly sun-ripened; one
girl may claim, perhaps, more char
acter, but to the other must be allow
ed more charm.

company says that Margaret Hill Nc

Most of Edgar Beecher Bronson's
'R "reminiscences of Ranchman," of
which book McClurg's have just pub
lished a new and enlarged edition, is
truth-straight transcription of actual
happenings in the west. A living
proof of this is Captain George Sword,
a Sioux Indian, who is now seeking a
pension for the part he played in pac-
flying hostile Sioux in the Pine Ridge
agency, Dakota, in 1879. One of Mr..
Bronson's stories included in this
book, 'McGillicuddy's Sword" tells
how Sword, who had been made cap
tain of a band of native police, de-
Tended the agency against four hun
dred hostile Brules, his own hundred
men doffing their uniforms and ap-
pearing in war paint and nakedness
the while. In an appendix to the new
edition of "Reminiscences there -
given some correspondence bearing
upon this veterans unique work as a
keeper of order among the unruly
Sioux and upon his meritorious claim
for consideration in the matter of a
pension.
