WILL TALK IT OVER.
Topeka to Entertain Officials of Rail-
Railway Systems.

Invitations have been sent to the
presidents and members of the Off
cial staffs of two railway systems
entering Topeka for complimentary
dinners to be held this fall at the
Commercial club after the excitement
OF fair week il over.
Some time ago an invitation was
extended to President B. F. Bush Of
the Missouri Pacific railroad togeth-
er with his staff to be the guests OF
the Commercial club, and President
Robert S Lovett and staff of the
Union Pacific have received a SINH
lar invitation.
THE complimentary dinners" said
Secretary George S. Badders today,
ARE for the purpose of creating a
friendly feeling between the people
and the railroads. We realize that
our property depends largely upon
the attitude the railroads take.
We have entertained the officiali
of the Santa Fe and Rock Island
systems and we want to extend the
same invitation to the representatives
of the other lines entering the capt.
tai city to meet in q social way rep
resentatiye citizens of Topeka
The much talked of union depot
for Topeka is still topic for con-
versation and it is hoped that
through the Commercial club and
meetings held in the club rooms some
plan may be devised which will make
it possible for Topekans interested in
the proposition to realize their
dreams.
Kansas City has dreamed of a
great union station for years and ex-
poets in the course of time to have
one of the finest stations in the
world, and as the old saying goes,
where's there's life there's hope, y
SO here's hoping.
President ]. Will Kelley of the
fa1 p IL
strongly in the belief that union
station is something Topeka should
have.
No definite campaign has been in
augurated by the club. but in time it
is believed that a move may be
started in the direction of working
towards the erection of a depot which
would be a great credit to the city.

ENJOIN WHOLESALE HOUSES.
Kansas Judge Allows New Liquor Plan
q Trial.

Pittsburg, Kan. Aug. 22.-County At
torney Karr has taken another tack in
the fight against the whisky traffic in
an attempt to enforce the prohibitory
law. It is a new one and Assistant At
torney Generals Montgomery and
Trickett are wondering why they did
not think of it.
A number of wholesale whisky and
beer houses have established wholesale
houses just over the Kansas line in
Missouri. which is about four miles
from Pittsburg, Frontenac and other
border towns, and against these Coun-
ty Attorney Karr has filed temporary
injunctions. restraining them from
hauling or shipping beer or whisky into
this county. Judge Curran issued the
injunctions, fourteen in all, and they
will be argued later on.
In the event permanent injunctic~
is issued the wholesale houses are so
near that private individuals may in
dulge in an evening drive and bring
back whatever they may decide will
satisfy them

ciety people received engraved cards
today recalling the announcement a
few days ago Of Miss Katherine Dreier
to Edward Trumbull. the mural artist.
The marriage took place on August 8,
but Miss Dreier's lawyers now explain

a wife and two children living in Lon
don. It is said Mr.. Trumbull had be-
lieved his first marriage had been set
aside.

If Dawson left anything unsaid
against the Missouri river rates it must
have been a trifling and unimportant
matter. By the time the interstate

with Dawson's evidence on the iniquity

In his suit filed against these rates,
the present attorney for the commits

No young woman, In the Joy of

makes her comfortable during all the

and by gradually expanding all tis-

and keeping the breasts in good con-
