THEY ARE COURTEOUS ANYWAY
Beloit Finds Good Feature on Mis-
souri, Pacific.

Beloit, Kan, May 1.-The Missouri
Pacific and Central Branch especially
continue to receive criticism from time
to time, but that is due more to habit
than to any other cause. The facts
are that the Missouri Pacific does ev-
erything in its power for the accom-
mediation of its patrons. The other
day man was riding from 1Nonganoxie
to COTS when the brake man came
through the coaches asking who want
ed lunch; he ascertained the number
of those who were hungry, telegraph
ed ahead and in a short time lunches
were brought nj with only 25 cents
charges. Think of having a good meal
on railroad for 25 cents The other
instance was last on the Central
Branch at Concordia when three ne
groes who had been drinking rather
freely boarded the train for Beloit.
One of these was so drunk that he fell
off about a mile out of Concordia;
even though he was a niger and
drunk the train stopped and took him
on for he was patron of the road.

Baseball Notes and Gossip.

The Topeka management has made
a deal whereby they get the services
of Joe Crisp, a class A catcher, from
the st. Louis Browns. Crisp worked
for Newark in the Eastern last year
and Beecher says he was one of the
best. President Hedges of the Browns
assured the management that Crisp
would report out here, and If he does
the backstopping promises to be i'm
proved.
If the Topeka mana cement really
has the money to spend as was the slo-
gan last winter, now is the time to get
it taken. There is about two weeks
yet before the Majors settle their
minds about their lineups. After that
it will be too late.
Then again if the management was
invested in the manager that also
would help. The way it now is, a pri-
mary and general election has to be
held among the directors and then
the deal is made on the initiative and
referendum plan. Luckily, a caucus
was held on Crisp in time to head off
Indianapolis, who was after him. but
the deal was begun the middle of last
week at that.

STATE DEBT is ONE MILLION.
Part of Cost of Capitol Unpaid Is
Minnesota's Only Obligation.

st. Paul.-The total state debt of
Minnesota is now $1,O00,000, represent
ed entirely by certificates of indebted
ness on account of the building of the
new capitol. Capitol certificates
amounting to $S5O,O00 were taken up
by the state, the payment being made
from the revenue fund to the perma-
nent school fund. The money will be
available at once for loans to counties
and municipalities of the state.
The taking up of these certificates
was accomplished under a law passed
few days ago by the Legislature.
There are on hand approved applica-
tions from counties and towns to alb
sorb practically all of the amount
transferred.
The balance of the cost of the cap
itol, amounting to $1,000, 900, is the only
debt the state has and there is money
in the cash box now to pay off that,
but such an operation would cramp
the treasury for several months.

Interesting Land Sales.

Cass Lake-One of the most inter-
esting land sales in this vicinity was
made by M. N. Kohl to John Marks of
Regina, Canada. Marks purchased a
quarter section of land from Mr.. Kohl
for $4,000. Great interest attaches to
this sale on account of the fact that
Marks after several years in Canada,
where he owned farm, decided that
land in Northern Minnesota was
preferable to Canadian land and acted
upon his belief by bringing his money
back from Canada and investing here.
