DIDN'T FALL TO HIS DEATH.
But Man Thought He Was Going To,
Which Was Almost as Bad.

Howard Patten, local superinten-
dent of the street railway company,
is telling a good story on a stranger
in Topeka who fell from the Clay
street bridge of the street car COM
pany.
1t seemed that this man had been
out in the south part of the city at
night and after waiting several min
utes for a car at the end OF the Quin-
ton line, he decided to walk town
ward on the track and meet the car.
While walking over the Clay street
bridge, which spans the Shunganunga
creek the visitor STUN bled over a tie
and fell to the edge of the bridge
1t is a wooden bridge built on piles
without a railing. Before he could
recover himself the man had rolled
to the edge of the structure and his
body was held by short finger hold
on one OF the projecting ties.
For several minutes the man chung
to this tie, yelling for help He sum-
ing that help might come. The weight
on his fingers crushed them and he
sauirmed in pain. Fearing that the
bridge was many feet in the air and
that a fall meant death, the man
used superhuman strength in clutch
ing the oak tim bers above him.
Finally he could stand it no longer
and, uttering a prayer, he dropped
Thudl He struck earth feet first just
eight inches from his original posi-
ton
He felt so relieved over the out
come that he came down to the Of
fices of the street railway the next
day and told the story to the officials.

FIND DEAD KANsAN's BODY.
Interesting Testimony Expected at
Holiday Inquest.

Kansas City. Nov. 6.-The body of
William Rodenberger, "a years old,
whose disappearance last July furnish
ed a subject of conjecture for the peo-
pie of Holiday. Kansas. and vicinity
for three months, has been found in
the woods near that place. The body
was discovered by hunters in a clump
of underbrush. Rodenberger lived
alone in a little house of boards and
tar paper near Holiday.
L. L. Cave. sheriff of Johnson coun-
ty; DR.. D. e. Bronson, coroner, and
several deputies went to the place.
Identification was possible from the
clothing. The body was taken to Ryan
& Company's undertaking rooms in
Olathe. A cob pipe and $1.50 in money
we're found in the pockets.
Il can not say what we have found,
but we feel it is enough to warrant
holding an inquest" Doctor Bronson
said. There may be little disclosed at
the inquest. but from what we heard
today it looks as if it would develop
quite interesting testimony
Two sons of Rodenberger, George
and John. live in Kansas City Kansas.
They had not heard of their father
since July and had advertised for him
and failed to receive an answer.

CALIFORNIA WOMEN MUST WAIT
In Most Towns They Cannot Vote I'm
til Next Year.

San Francisco, Nov. 6.-California
women generally will not be permitted
to participate in elections held this
year owing to a state law that regis
tration must close 40 days before cleo
ton. which takes place December s.,
nicipaI election Tuesday for that rea-
son The Los Angeles municipal cleo
lions. which takes place December 8,
permits time for women voters to le-
galIy register. Several small towns
are similarly affected. but in the ma
iority of California cities women will
not vote at municipal elections this
year.
The difference is caused by munich
pal charters fixing different election
dates.

LOSS ON HARTMAN PACTFTcs.
Business OF Roads Not Hampered by
Strike of Shopmen.

For September the Hartman Pa
cincs continue to show decreases in
gross earnings although they are not
so great as We're shown in the July and
August reports. Both roads also show
gains in net earnings for September,
this being the first month of the new
fiscal year to show gains in net.
The fact that gross earnings of the
Union Pacifis show a falling off of but
s211,S54 and of the Southern Pacific
of $316,7S4 in September would tend
to show that the business of the roads
is not hampered by the strike of the
shopmen. For August the Union Pa
cifc showed a decline in gross earn
ings Of S72S,5S while the Southern
Pacific in the same month showed a
decline of gross of $342,643-
1t is possible. however, that the gain
in net is due directly to the present
strike. as it probably resulted in a cut
ting down of operating expenses, as
the equipment is in such shape as not
to necessitate repairs in outside shops
for some time Had the large shop
force Of both roads been at work it is
a question whether the wages of the
men would not have more than offset
the gain in net of SIS, 069 shown by
Union Pacific and of $1S1, 613 shown
by the Southern Pacific.

WIEN TIE FROST

And you hear the kyouck and gobble of

And the clackin's of the guineys, and
the cluckin's of ,.4e hens,
And the ROSTERS hallylooyer as he

When the frost is on the punkin and

about the atmusfere
When the heart of summers over and

OF course we miss the flowers, and the
blossums on the trees,
And the humble of the hummin- birds
and the buzzin' of the bees;
But the airs so appetizin'; and the
landscape through the haze
OF crisp and sunny morning of the
airly autumn days
Is a pictur' that no painter has the
colorin' to mock
When the frost is on the punkin and

The husky, rusty russell OF the tossels
of the corn.
And the raspin' OF the tangled leaves,
as golden as the morn
The stubble in the furries-kind o
Lonesome like, but still
they growed to fill;
The strawstack in the medder, and
the reaper in the shed;
The hosses in theyr stalls below-the
clover overhead

When the forst is ON the punkin and

Then your apples all is gethered. and
the ones a feller keeps
Is poured around the celler- floor in

And your cider maxim S over, and
