Sample Line of
Children' Coats at Sharp
M eductions From
Regular Prices.
We were fortunate enough to secure the sample line of a
prominent manufacturer one whose making of children's
coats gives special va'ua to his productions, even at full
t prices. The liberal discount at which we bought this
sample line of garments enables us to sell them at ex
tremely low prices. There is, of course, but one coat of
a style, though there are many of each size, from 4 to 14
BIG RAIL ORDERS.
Railroads Buy 1,500.000 Tons tor I'se
"c.t Year.
Chicago, Nov. 2. The Record-Herald
today says:
More than 1,500,000 tons of steel
rails have been ordered by the railroads
for delivery in 1307, and within a short
time, it is said, orders for as many
more tons will be placed with the vari
ous mills. The total capacity of the
tteel mills for a year is about three
million tons, so all of them are assured
their capacity orders for 1907.
Never before, it is stated, have so
many orders for rails been placed by
the railroads at this season. Some of
the railroads have even been com
pelled to seek foreign rails in order to
have .assurances that their orders will
he delivered in anything like the time
they specify.
The demand for new rails does not

come so much for new railroad con
struction as it does for renewals and
for relaying tracks with heavier steel.
The business of the railroads has In
creased so enormously that the old
light rails are inadequate to carry the
train loads and the heavy equipment
and heavy power of today.
The railroads of the south are among:
the heaviest buyers of steel rails for
1907, and It is stated the demand in
that section indicates the wonderful
growth of the south and the increased
demands which is being made on the
transportation companies.

A mathematician on the Wichita
Beacon got busy the other day with
these results:
If the postage stamps sold at the
Wichita postoffice in a year, figuring
on the rate of sales for the first fif
teen days in the month of October,
1906, as a basis for the year's sales,
were placed end to end, they would
make a band of paper thirteen-six-teenths
of an inch wide that would
extend along all the street car lines in
the city, run to Winfield and return to
Main street and Douglas avenue, go
to Fairmount college and back, and
follow six miles of Wichita streets and
reach to the office of The Beacon be
fore the last stamp was used.
If these stamps were again gath
ered and placed side by side so as to
make one s;heet of paper, 2229 Bea
cons of ten pages each, could be cut
from it.
The size of a postage stamp, special
delivery not included, is about thir-teen-sixtet
nths by f ourteen-sixteenths
of an inch. The Wichita post office
sells annually 1.680,000 one-cent
stamps. If these stamps were placed
end to end they would reach 23 H
miles. The 2-cent denominations would
extend 61 miles. The 1-cent and 2
cent stamps are the denominations
mostly used by the public. The next
best sellers are the 4-cent and 5-eent
I Issues. The following Is a list showing
I the stamps to be sold the coming
year, obtained by multiplying the
1 stamps sold the first fifteen days In
October hv 24; 1-cent, 1,680.000; 2-
cent. 4.440,000; 3-cent, 19.200; 4-cent.
108.000: 5-cent, 57,600: 6-cent. 12,000;
10-cent, 2S.800; 10-cent special 12.000;
15-cent. 2.40, making a total of 6,363,-
000 stamps. There are higher denom
inations than the 15-cent stamp but
the postoffice officials at Washington
do not think it necessary to send them
here.

GOT HIS STAIIT OX RACES.
George Herring-. Noted English Philan
thropist, Is Dead.
London, Nov. 2. George Herring, the
noted English philanthropist, who In
the course of his life contributed large
sums of money to hospitals and chari
table enterprises, died today alter an
opeiation for appendicitis. He made his
first money on the race courses and sub
sequently became identified with a large
number of business enterprises.
George Herring was chairman of the
city of London Electric Lighting com
pany, Blectrlc and General Investment
company, Municipal Trust company and
several mining companies. In Decem
ber last he donated $500,000 to the Sal
vation Army for use in a home coloni
zation scheme, the army engaging to
pay this sum in 25 annual installments,
to the King's hospital fund. The plan
was to purchase tracts of land in Eng
land, giving fjve acres or thereabouts to
each settler, building cottages, provid
ing seed and implements and support
ing the settlers until the lands became
productive. Each settler was to repay
the army in installments. In this man
ner the Salvation Army hoped to pro
vide for those who for various reasons
were unable to leave England under the
1 emigration schemes of the army.
Mr. Herring conducted a soup kitchen
I in Camdentown, London, -built and en
j dowed an institution known as the
Haven of Rest for gentle folk brought
to poverty through genuine misfortune,
and furnished a number of Salvation
Army shelters for the homeless.
THOSE BRIBERY CHARGES.
National Ball Commission Refuses to
Consider Kelly Case.
Cincinnati. Nov. 2. On the ground
that 4r is a matter to be settled by the
National association, being an internal
matter, the national commission has
declined to consider the Michael Kelly-
L. A. Lydiard bribery charges trom
Minneapolis, the decision being puo
lished today. Because of the serious
nature of the charges, however, the
commission in referring the case back
to the National association "strongly
recommend that that board thoroughly
and carefully examine into the entire
matter and that the men charged be
either convicted or acquitted."
PICKS HEARST AND MOHAN.
Tom Lawson Gives Out a Forecast on
the Election.
New York, Nov. 2. Thomas W. Law
son has sent out a circular giving it as
his opinion that Hearst will be over
whelmingly elected. Reports agree, says
Lawson, that, barring a miracle, Hearst
must win because Tammany will really
give the word election morning to its
hodes of thugs; "Elect hm at any cost."
This will mean that Hearst will have
all the benefit of the u.ack jacking which
last year was against him.
"I believe Moran will be elected in
Massachusetts," he aiso says. "Neve.1
mind how much they ry buy, there
fore, I advise a sharp lookout by hold
ers of stock from now until next week
Monday,"
Fire on the Steamer Baltic.
London, Nov. 2. A dispatch from

which was flooded.
