Disgrace of Day Sentence Wor-
ries English Student.

Chicago. Oct. 3.@Threatened with a
a jail sentence, James Burgess. an
Englishman and a student at North
western university, begged Judge
Newcomer in court that he be hanged
instead. Burgess had been arrested
for taking an automobile from the gar
age of his employer. With three
companions-tw of them women
and a negro chauffeur Burgess made
a boulevard tour. He and the negro
were arrested as they were driving the
car back into the garage. Judge New
conner gave them a 70 day sentence.
I'D rather be sentenced to hang,
exclaimed Burgess. "A Jail sentence
would disgrace me with my school
mates, my friends and my own father
and mother. It would ruin my life
forever"
Well" Judge Newcomer said, I'll
think it over. See if you can get a
little money to pay a fine

City Railway Improves Southwestern
Loop Service.

Beginning Immediately the Topeka
Railway company will add two cars to
its new loop service in the southwest
ern part OF the city When the loop
system is worked out on this basis it
Will give a d-a-half-minute
service to the patrons of these lines.
This addition of cars will be made
between the hours of and $50
Q clock in the morning and between 4
and o'clock in the evenings, except
on Saturdays, when the evening time
will begin at noon.
The railway company officers say
that the loop system is generally sat
1stactory to its patrons On some
parts of the line there has been dis
satisfaction on account of the bunch
ing of the cars and the unreliable
service. This. explains the railway
company, comes from the number of
new meeting points and the general
innovation of the loop lines. When
the men have learned the schedules it
IS asserted by General Superintendent
Patten that the service will be regular.

Ordinance No. 6.

The city council met Thursday
night in extra session and did
some legislating that makes in
teresting reading to every citizen
in Lexington. This ordinance
seeks to correct abuses in the fee
business, and the piling up of
criminal costs against the county
when they rightfully belong to
the city. It also makes clear
the duty of the marshal and po-
licemen with reference to enter
ing saloons.
The ordinance which is printed
in full in another column was ap-
proved by all the councilmer
present except Jerry Shinn.

Burglars Abroad.

Monday night, some one un-
satisfied with the cut prices on
shoes and clothing, broke into
the store of the Stier Clothing
Company and stole a suit OF
clothes, a pair of shoes and
$500 in cash. The robber
gained entrance to the building
through the basement. Being a
very careful performer he re-
placed the grating in the win
dow through which he entered.
This possibly with a view of
covering the theft entirely.

Missouri State Fair.

The Eleventh Annual Exhibi-
tioon OF the Missouri State Fair
will be held on the State Fair
Grounds at Sedalia, September
30 to October 6. The members
of the State Board of Agriculture
are the Directors of the State
Fair and they have made an ex-
ira effort this year to surpass
all former years in the way of
exhibits and entertainment.
The Live Stock Industry Of
Missouri has made a wonderful
growth since the State Fair was
established. The reports from
the 1910 U. S. Census show that
the value of Horses and Colts in
1900 was $42,O95,OO0 while in
1910 the value of $l13,708,000
showing an increase of over 10
per cent. For Mules in 1900,
$15, $4,000 and in 1910, $43, $685.
900 showing an increase in value
of 180 per cent. The value of
Swine in 1900 was $16,534,OOO
and in 1910, $31,879,OO The
value of Sheep in Missouri in
1900 was $3,351,OOO and in
1910, $,S75,00 showing am in
crease of over 1876 per cent.
A reasonable suppositiOn is
that the Missouri State Fair has
had much influence in the de-
velOpment of the Live Stock In
duStry during the last ten years
for it is at the State Fair where
the best herds in the country are
shown and it is there where the
farmer and breeder gets his in.
Spiration to breed better live
stock. The State Fair is an
educational Institution that reach
es people who are past school age
as we'll as the young folks.
