NO MORE ST0P0VERS.
Central Passenger Association Decides
to Abolish Them.

Chicago. Dec. 16.-Because Of the
large number Of country folks who
become easy victims OF pickpockets
and confidence games in the large
cities. the Central Passenger associa-
ton announced today that beginning
February l, no stopover privileges will
be granted on homeseekers tickets.
The principal stopover points on such
tickets are Chicago, Cincinnati, st.
Louis, Kansas City, st. Paul and Min
neapolie.
"Police records are filled with cases
disclosing how men on their way to
buy farms in the west" said one OF
the officials Of the association, ''stop-
ped over in Chicago and other large
cities and lost their money through
dealings with confidence men. card
sharps and ether crooks. We fail to
sec what good can be accomplished
by permitting homeseekers to stop
over in the large cities. They don't
buy their farms there"

The largest room on the second
floor will be the mems sleeping room

the building. This opens into the
bath room and lockers on the south
side. and the hay and grain room on
the north. At the front end of the
building will be located the sitting
room. with the workshop in the
northwest corner of the building. The
building is to be strictly modern and
will be built not only for strength and
endurance, but for beauty. 1t can
safely be said that it will be the most
attractive building in North Topeka
when completed. The new station is
to be located on the present site Of
the old one.
According to L. NJ. Wood, the arch
itect who drew the plans the new sta
ton will be one Of the finest and most
efficient he has ever worked on-and
Mr.. Wood has drawn UP a few plans
in his time.
Up to the present time no suitable
building has been found in which to
quarter the firemen of fire station No.

officials no little trouble. Perhaps the
