THE STATION HURRAH DAY SEPTEMBER 25 MARKS 49TH ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST RAILROAD HERE.

Industrial Commissioner of the Commercial Club Suggests Fixing the Big Union Station Celebration Accordingly-Only Nine Weeks Away. In this day when bankers are complaining about the public being too extravagant in purchasing motor cars and Lieutenant Porte is preparing to try for the initial trip across the Atlantic in an airship, it is curious to read of Kansas City's struggles for a steam railroad. Those struggles date back only years, because September 25 of this year will mark the forty-ninth anniversary of the first railroad in Kansas City. It has been suggested by George H. Forsee, industrial commissioner of the Commercial Club, that Kansas City on that day celebrate the opening of the new 5-million dollar Union Station.

Kansas City now has sixteen trunk lines of railroad and thirty-two separate subordinate lines. It also has thousands and thousands of motor cars and motor trucks and aviator at Overland Park who rises thousands of feet in the air on wings and turns fore and back somersaults. A DEPOT BECAME A STABLE. The first railroad built west of the Mississippi River miles long and its cars were "propelled by mules over tracks hewn from timber. It ran from Independence, to Wayne and carried the name Independence Wayne City Railroad.

It in 1848 and was operated from 1849 to 1851, when it failed and out of commission. The 2-story brick depot built in Independence was then converted into a livery stable and answered purpose until it burned in the early '80s. But the first steam railroad into Kansas City was finished 25, 1865. It bore the corporate September, the Pacific. Railroad of Missouri, which afterwards became the Pacific.

Its terminus was at a near the old Missouri, gas plant in the East Bottoms. It connected Kansas City by rail with St. Louis. THE FIRST TRAIN BY BOAT. The first locomotive for the railroad came to Kansas City by boat.

In the same cargo were four flat cars and 100 tons of iron rails. The little engine came up the river from Jefferson City on the steamer McGill and was landed on the river bank at a point near the plant of the Kelley Milling Company in the East Bottoms. This delivery was made June 21, 1864. The locomotive was put on the tracks in September of the next year. STANDARD OIL PAYS A FINE.

State of Mississippi Compromises Suit for $60,000. JACKSON, July Attorney General Ross has compromised for $60,000 an anti-trust suit of the state against the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, the Standard Oil Company of Louisiana, the Standard Oil Company of Kentucky and the Galena Signal Oil Company. The Dressing Room of Repeaters. "What do you suppose those fellows are doing?" "Blamed if I know." That was the conversation of two men working election day in a garage that opens into the alley running from Thirteenth to Fourteenth Street, between Central Street and Broadway. Their curiosity was aroused by the actions of a gang of men in the alley, who were exchanging coats and hats and passing out slips of paper.

The next morning the observers read that the official returns from Thirteenth and Wyandotte streets, a block and a half from the alley, the polling place of the Twelfth precinct of the First Ward, gave 245 votes for the Jost franchise, 5 against. Then they knew "what those fellows had been doing" in the alley. They were repeaters. The Jost franchise got them "going and coming" in this precinct. The franchise workers not only ran in dishonest "yeses" but brought about the disappearance of honest Already 22 men have declared they voted against the franchise in that precinct, where only 5 "no" votes were officially returned.

July 15. George M. Hoover, president of the State Bank of Dodge City, died last evening. With one exception he was Dodge's oldest settler. He settled on what later became the townsite of Dodge, more than fortytwo years ago, June 17, 1872.

That day he and his partner, "Jack" McConnell, erected a tent where the city hall now stands. There was but one habitation on the townsite at that time, a sodhouse occupied by H. L. Sitler, who still lives here. Mr.

Hoover was the first mayor of Dodge, and in 1911, when the commission form was adopted, he was the first mayor under that form. His wife died last spring. He left no children. TO GRIEF WATCHING A FIGHT. A Brick Intended for One of the Combatants Struck Sam Morgan.

The innocent bystander again came to grief last night when Sam Morgan. 38 years old, a laborer, living at Fortyfifth and Chestnut streets, stopped to watch a friendly fight between two men at the corner of Fifteenth Street and the Paseo. When Morgan first noticed the battle the fighters were content with using their fists. The contestants separated, however, and one of them backed directly in front of the spectator. His opponent picked up a brick and hurled it at him.

The aim was poor. Morgan was taken to the General Hospital to be treated for a severe scalp wound. THE BIG SHOE STORE. BOTH KANSAS CITYA.
