B. Woolfe Advocates Same Rate to FortMove for Club Secretary At the meeting of the Greater Leavenworth club last night $500 were subscribed to assist in defraying the expenses of piping mineral water from the mine to Main and Shawnee streets after Omar Abernathy, as chairman of the investigating committee, reported that the project was entirely practicable and that $2,000 would cover all expenses. The expenses include buying 4,000 feet of three-inch pipe at second-hand rates, installing the fountain at Third and Delaware on the vacant lot at the corner of Main and Shawnee streets, grading the lot and erecting a pavillion.

He recounted some of the results he has obtained from use of the dater and also gave a chemical analysis made by the Kansas state chemist. analysis shows that a gallon of the mineral water taken from the Home mine contains 137.

Father Cassimer, 0. S. D. was the first priest in charge of the church. He held the parish one year when Father Ameyer took charge.

In one year he was succeeded by Father Fish who held the parish for three years. In 1863 Father Kuhls was at the head of the churer for one year when he was transferred to Wyandotte where he has been ever since. Following Father Kuhls the Carmelite fathers took charge of the parish and it has been under their direction ever since. The first pastor under the Carmelite fathers was Father Cyrill who held the parish until 1866, when Father Heiman succeeded him. Father Heiman was pastor until 1872.

During that time he built the present church which is one of the finest churches in the city. The new building was built under his charge and dedicated to' the service of the Almighty God on the 18th day of June, 1871. The Right Rev. Bishop Fink of Leavenworth performed the ceremony of consecration. About twenty of the reverend clergy were present and participated in the dedication.

VIOLET STARCH, A HOME MANUFACTURE, POPULAR The National Soap has placed a brand of starch on the local market known as. "Violet" because of the violet odor imparted to clothes on which it is used.

It has proven exceedingly popular in other cities such as St. Joseph and Topeka and, being a home manufactured product, should prove so here. The WOmen of Leavenworth should support a home industry by calling for it their grocer's and demanding that they receive it. Do not accept substitutes. The 10-cent package contains more for the money than any other starch, and the starch has many features which recommend it; not causing the irons to stick to the clothes, goes further than other kinds, gives a more lasting polish, makes garments look like new; readily dissolves, requires no cooking; saves time and labor and is the only perfumed starch on the market.

Once used it will be in every home. Give it a trial. PAROLED CONVICT WILL MAKE REPORTS FOR TWENTY YEARS William Baysinger, who is serving twenty-five year sentence in the state penitentiary for manslaughter, has been granted parole and was released yesterday afternoon. Baysinger was received at the prison from Greer county, April 2, 1904, and after serving three years of his sentence appealed to Governor Frantz for a pardon which was denied. When the new governor came in, he put his case before him, an after a careful examination he extended him clemency in the form of a parole.

For the next twenty-one years Baysinger will be required to report in writing once a month to the governor, and in case a report is sent in that is not satisfactory to any of the future governors, he will be brought back to serve the unexpired part of his sentence.

RICHARD SPRINGE GOVERNMENT TO TAY TO STOP RAIL ROAD WRECKS American Railroads Kill Three Times as Many People Annually as Do Those of All the Rest of the World MANY DEVICES BEING TESTED Interstate Commerce Commission Expending $50,000 In Effort to Ascertain Practicability of Those Which Have Been Offered Special to The Times. Washington, May will not be long before some substantial results will be obtained through the campaign to secure reduction of the tremendous annual loss of life and limb on railroads. Two or three times as many people are killed and injured annually on the railroads in this country, as in all the rest of the world. For three or four years the tremendous and most increase in casualty list continued, till finally the last congress made an appropriation of $50,000 to be used by the interstate commerce commission in testing signaling and safety devices.

Of these tests, which are to be made in actual, practical operation of trains, report will be made to congress, and the information will be used as the basis of legislation to increase the safety of travel by requiring proper safety devices and methods to be used. When the money was made available the commission appointed under it organized and set to work to examine all the patents and devices known. They were found by the hundred. The great majority were eliminated as impracticable or too expensive. When the list had been narrowed down to a small number, arrangements were made to equip sections of track in different parts of the country with various devices, and give a thorough test.

Within a short time the vrst test will be in progress, out in California. The Santa Fe railroad has tendered the use of a division of its track to try a wonderful scheme of signaling which is believed to possess great possibilities. This device includes a block signal system of the improved kind, with some extras. There is a device by which the train dispatcher at the end of the division can show signals along route, selecting them to please himself. Further than that, can turn a switch and put into operation an automatic stop, such as is used on the operation of the subway trains in New York.

if preferred, he can employ another signal, and communicate direct with the neer in the locomotive cab. This device, of course, employs the scheme of electrical control. It is believed to be safe from any outside interference, and secure from any, ruption on account of weather physical conditions. It does not cost an amount which renders it prohibitive. It is expected that the most important results will be secured from it, for it not only enables the dispatcher to keep in constant and instant communication with the engineer in his cab, but enables, him stop the train without even communicating with the engineer.

The system is to be thoroughly tried out. Another, less startling in purpose and scope, is to be installed on the Buffalo, Rochester Pittsburg road, and given a test; and a third probably will be put in on a division of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy out of Chicago, though the arrangements for this installation have not yet been perfected. Congress has arranged, through an item in the sundry civil bill, to continue over the next year the appropriation heretofore made, and to broaden the powers under which these tests are being made. The expectation now is that a voluminous and illuminating port on the whole subject will be natal before congress at the next session, and that congress will undertake some effective legislation to enforce a proper equipment of all railroad lines with safety devices.
