BOSTON CAPITAL IN TEXAS.
Electric Lines to Connect Leading
Cities North and South.

Cities North and South.
Austin, Tex, Oct 19.-The engineer
ing department of the Stone-Webster
syndicate of Boston has made a pre-
liminary survey for a proposed electric
railway to run north and south
through the most populous part of
Texas. 1t is planned to connect Dali
las and Houston. The line will be
about 265 miles long. The Stone
Webster syndicate is constructing an
interurban electric railway between
Galveston and Houston, fifty-one
miles, and it also owns other electric
railway lines in Texas. There has been
comparatively little development in the
way of constructing electric lines in
this state, and it is said that the route
to be followed by the proposed line
between Dallas and Houston is through
one of the best unoccupied fields in
the United States. It was pass through
more than forty towns of 500 to Is. 900
population, and will traverse the heart
of the Texas agricultural belt, where
the population is dense
Active construction of this new line
will be started soon after completion of
the line between Galveston and Hous-
ton. The new railway will connect
with the latter line and with that of
the North Texas Traction company,
operating between Dallas and Fort
Worth.

FOR NEW BAGGAGE RULES.
Late Amendments VIII Be of Special
Use to Public.


Woes of that part of the travelling
public which occasionally loses its
baggage soon will be decreased for
the railroads are planning to put into
effect a system of insuring baggage
valued at more than 500 free of
charge, and a small fee if worth more
than 500.
This is one of the features of a
set of rules prepared in Chicago a
few days ago with a view toward uni
form baggage regulations. The joint
committee which worked out the rules
will present them to all passenger as
sociations for adoption.
In order to take advantage of the
proposed Insurance the passenger will
be required to declare the value of
his baggage before starting on his
journey. In the event of value above
800, the passenger will be required
to pay approximately 16 per cent of
the excess baggage rate.
In percentage the new rule will
figure out about 1.6 per cent of pas
senger rates for every 800 of value
declared.

in the city will attend. At this meet
ing will come the question whether
the people of this community shall De
asked to vote bonds for the building
of the Nowato and Coffeyville electric
line and the proposed line to connect
Caney with the Cherryvale, Independ-
ence and Coffeyville interurban at
bearing. These two proposed new
electric lines would mean great deal
for this city and a movement is now
on foot to encourage the voting of
bonds in order to bring about the two
enterprises
In speaking on the subject Monday
President George Pfeister said that he
did not believe the city could spend
morey- for a better purpose
ct would be in favor of voting $1O,-
600 for the Nowato line and $1,000 for
the Caney road" he continued THE
Noyato line will eventually be built
whether or not the city hangs up a
bonus. tut it would be a splendid in
vestment to give $4,000 for its imme
date construction 1t Will be worth
ten times this sum to the city Then
an electric line connection with
Carey would likewise prove of great
benefit to Coffeyville in a commercial
way"

FOR The CONVICTS
Moving Pictures and Lectures in
LeavenWOrth.
State and Federal opens" APP
prove Of New Scheme.
TO SHOW ON HOLIDAYS
Amusement and Educational
Advantages Combined.
Other Items of General Interest
to Kansas People.

LeavenWorth, Kan, Oct. 19.-If the
plan, now under consideration by R.
w. McCIaughry. warden of the fed
eral penitentiary and ]. K. Codding,
warden of the state penitentiary. are
carried out, moving pictures will be
shown the prisoners at both peniten-
tiaries this winter. The plan has met
the approval of both wardens and will
be tried. An experiment will be made
to determine whether or not the pic
lures will be continued.
Lectures and Pictures.
The intention is to show pictures Of
the educational type, with the idea of
bringing the prisoners in touch with
the outside world. Many of the men
have no knowledge of what is taking
place outside the prison walls. Mo-
ton pictures will show them this.
Lectures will be given with the pic
lures, and a school established. Many
of the cOnvicts who now are not
reached by the prison schools will be
interested in the school and in that
way benefited by the pictures. ReIig-
ious pictures will be shown and Bible
study taken up in the lectures. It is
thought that this plan will create an
interest in Bible study which has
hitherto been lacking.
1t now is intended to show the pic
lures on holidays and Sundays. If
the plan proves successful the pictures
may be shown oftener.
Congress Discussed the Plan.
The plan has been advocated for
some time by Warden ]. K Codding,
The idea of showing moving pictures
with Bible study has been thought of
a vast DEAL At the meeting of the
prison congress in Washington, a plan
of this sort was advanced and met the
approval of many Of the delegates.
Since then it has been considered by
many penitentiaries over the country
II think that it would be a fine
thing" Warden McClaughry said yes
terday IF it is possible, 1 intend to
try it. OF course, there will be the
expense of installing a plant, and its
operation to be considered. However,
I believe that the benefit would justi-
fly the expenditure.
Show Them on Holidays.
Il have not much considered the
plan, but it has been my intention to
try showing the pictures on holidays.
The men would be given a diversion,
which would combine educational ad-
vantages with amusement. 1 shall
present the matter to Mr.. LaDowell,
the superintendent of United States
prisons, when he is here the first of
November. believe that he will con-
slider the plan favorably, and if he
does, I shall try it -

pictures in the school for some time, -

GIVE TEACHERS TWO DAYS OFF

SaIina, Kan, Oct. 1e.-The State
Teachers association meets at To-
peka on October 20 and 81. The state
superintendent is sending circular let
ters to school boards urging them to
allow teachers to attend this meeting,
allowing them two days with no reduc-
ton in salary or time spent, as the
teacher would return and the school
would receive the benefit in the teach
