NEW UNIFORM BAGGAGE RULES.
Regulations for All Lines Are Now in
Eject.

Chicago, May S.-A new code OF
uniform baggage rules and regulations
for all the railroads in the United
states will have it's first trial. The
new code includes many changes from
existing rules, and. is the result of nu-
1nerous conferences and a long stand
ing demand for a new code. The pr1n-
cipaI idea in the new code is the
elimination of confusion and m1sun-
derstandings arising from different
practices on connecting lines. Corpses
and dogs will hereafter be checked
through to destination without the
necessity of entering into new nego-
tiations at connecting points.
Another advantage is the clear def
milton of differences between personal
and sample baggage. The loss damage
is limited to 800, unless the passenger
declares a greater valuation, In which
case he must pay an excess charge.
Provisions for excess charges for large
trunks and excess weight are not eff
fective until January 1, 1912. 1t is
believed the public and the railroads
will mutually benefit by the new code,
which does away with misunderstood
ings. The question of limiting the size
of baggage is now under consideration.

IMPROVEMENTS FOR EN1PoRIA.
Santa Fe Will Spend $15O,OOO on Sub
way, Freight House and Yards.

Announcements made in Topeka to-
day by general officers of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railway, tell of
planned improvements amounting to
$150,000 for Emporia.
These improvements include the con-
struction of new freight depot, en-
larged yards and a subway for the
street car tracks under the railroad
tracks on State street.
This subway will cost $4,000. 1t will
take the tracks of the proposed new
street railway under a ten-track yard
of the Santa Fe on State street. The
matter was proposed to c. w. Kouns,
general manager, and c. F. W. Felt,
chief engineer, who were in Emporia
before a meeting of the Commercial
club last night.
The Santa FNe has just completed in
Emporia the largest stock yards in
Kansas and one of the largest feeding
yards in the world at a cost of $50. 600.
There are limitations, don't be fooled.

READY FOR WINTER.

In the course of a very short inter
val 1t is reasonable to expect that
winter Will be at hand for a four
months sOjOurn, more or less severe
in character. and there are a number
of things that should be attended to
before the season of long winter even
ings sets in. They should include, be-
sides ample supplies of fuel, such re-
pairing and overhauling of furnace,
stove and chimneys as will give a
maximum result in heat with a min
imum danger of being routed out of
warm bed by fire some cold night.
If one is in latitude where the mer-
curry goes to zero or below these win
ter plans should include giving the
house some sort of banking to make
from freezing. For this purpose a
strip of tarred building paper. the up
per edge fastened with cleats to the
lower clapboards and the lower Sc
cured with n slight embankment Of
earth, will answer the purpose nicely.
If this does not give sufficient protec-
ton 1t may be REINFORCED with litter,
leaves or straw. The storm windows
