IMMENSE INCREASE.
Rock Island Passenger Receipts For
July Show Big Gain.
The July statement of the Rock Island
system shows the gross earnings to have
increased J--.f-tgs and the passenger re
ceipts V257.:M over those for JuH 'of last
year. An interesting feature of the state
ment is the big increase in passemrer
earnings. The increase in this l.-pa.-t-mert
was r.t.uOO over that in the freight
branch. The Oklahoma rush and the
unusually heavy travel to Colorado and
Utah were responsible for the p;tssenger
increase. Following are the principal rig.

RULE STILL HOLDS.
Saloon Keepers Mu3t Steer Clear of
the Chicago & Alton.
Saloonkeepers who have recently
opened shops at the various divisional
headquarters of the Alton road to catch
the nickels and dimes of the employes
of that system are destined to loss
money. Since this road came under new
management the saloon men got the
idea that the old rule against the use
ft intoxicating liquors by Alton em
ployes would not be so strictly enforced.
t7nder the old management the Alton
became known as the most "sober" road
in the country. The rules of this road
went so far as to forbid employes from
even entering places where liquor was
sold either on or off duty. President
Pelton recently heard that saloons were
again making their appearance near the
f y
shops, roundhouses and offices in Bloom
ington and other headquarters towns.
He has issued notices to the effect that
the slightest violation of any of the
nondrinking orders of this company will
be considered as cause for dismissal.
WHEAT FROM KANSAS.
Texas Millers Discussing How to Get
Low Railroad Kates.
Fort Worth, Tex.. Sept. 5. An execu
tive session of the executive committee
(f the Texas Millers' association was
held here today, but little was given
out- The interstate freight rates, as
they apply to mill products and the

something like a million bushels of
wheat from the farmers in Kansas and
Oklahoma, and much more is still to
be purchased. Representatives were
present, from Dallas, McKinney, Sher

and Clarksville. '
ENLARGE ICE HOUSEa
Santa To "Will Store 8,500 Tons of Ice

City from 500 to 2,000.

tories which the Santa Fe ia planning to
establish.
Clergymen's Rates Extended.
Chicago, Sept. 5. Clergy half fare per
mits are to be extended to cover the en
tire territory between Chicago and the
Pacific coast. At a meeting here today of
general passenger agents representing all
roads in that district it was agreed to
widen the scope of the reduced rate
concession of men of the cloth and others
in that class. Under the present system
these permits are issued only by roads in
the western and southwestern passenger
associations which practically limits their
use to the territory east of the Missouri
river.

How a Woman Holds a Man's Af
fections. A wise and observing person stated
the other day that many a wife com
plains that her husband does not take
her out, that she only sees him at
meals, or that he makes friendships in
which she has no part. Further, that
she blames him for neglecting her, and
thinks herself ill-used; yet, he is only
following the natural instinct of hu
manity the fault is really hers. The
easiest way a wife can hold her
husband's affection and sympathy is
by Beauty, which is possessed by using
the great Dr. T. Felix Gouraud's Orien
tai Cream, or Magical Beautitier; it will
render your skin a soft pearly white
ness, free from tan, pimples, freckles,
moth patches, and all blemishes of the
skin at the same time defies detection.
The Oriental Cream has stood the test
of the public approval for fifty years,
and still gaining more. Gouraud's

THE REUNION CLOSES.
Twentieth Kansas Boys in Sham Bat
tle at Ottawa.
Ottawa, Kan., Sept 5 The second an
nual reunion of the Twentieth Kansas
was broug-ht to a fitting- close here last
night by a union band concert in the
Rohrbach opera house. The sham battle
in the afternoon was pronounced by old
soldiers to be the finest reproduction of
a real battle they had ever witnessed.
The only thing to mar the success of
the battle was the accidental sinking of
a raft on which were a number of the
Kansas boys, and Noel P. Ripple, Com
pany M, came near drowning. He was
rescued by his comrades. The crowd did
not realize the sinking of the raft was
an accident, and cheered the men to the
echo. Two guns were lost in the river.
Colonel W. F. Cloud, of Kansas City,
Mo., was a witness of the battle. "The
movement of the troops, the character
of the ground, the fire by volleys and
by files," he said, "puts me in mind of
Wilson's Creek, and I could imagine I
was at Bloody Run. The battle was a
success in every particular. The men
were young, but that's the element that
made this a united country." Colonel
Cloud is a veteran of both the Mexican
and the civil wars.
Filipinos were represented in the
sham battle by the Kansas militia, and
were stationed in Pickrell's park, just
across the Marias des Cygnes river
from Forest park on the south. The
Twentieth Kansas men were stationed
near the North Ottawa junction, about
a mile away. The battle was a repro
duction of the Rio Grande. Picket lines
had been established by the Filipinos
across the river.
The battle began with a skirmish be
tween the picket lines the Filipinos
gradually falling back until the river
was crossed and the main body of in
surgents was reached. The Twentieth
men gradually advanced, a detachment
going- up the river, swimming it and
flanking the enemy. The main body,
under the command of Colonel Metcalf,
swam the river and routed the Fili
pinos at the same time.
Aside from the sham battle the prin
cipal event of the day was the address
of Governor Stanley at 10 o'clock at the
tabernacle. W. S. Jenks, of Ottawa,
was chairman and introduced the gov
ernor, who was given a splendid ova
tion. He was escorted to the park by
the First Regiment band. The First
Regiment National Guards and Twen
tieth Kansas were lined up for review,
the former organization in full uniform
and equipment. After he had passed a
salute of seventeen guns was fired in
his honor. The audience he addressed
was large and full of enthusiasm. The
governor's address was an hour in
length and he was given an enthusias
tic ovation at its close.
Two hundred old soldiers of the Sec
ond congressional district, here to see
the Twentieth Kansas, met today and
organized a district association and ar
ranged to hold a reunion next fall.
Mayor J. B. Remington of Miami coun
ty, was elected president of the associa
tion, and Yates Corwin of Franklin
county, secretary.
There was much hilarity in the camp
and officers and men played all kinds of
pranks on one another. Here is an ex
ample: A squad of men captured W. B.
Trembly and tied him to a tree and
over his head there was tacked a card
bearing the words, "This is Trembly,
the hero of the Rio Grande." Trembly
was left tied up for half an hour and a
thousand people assembled to look at
him.
