Katy Officials to be More Definite as to Use of Money. That the Katy railroad will issue $102,000,000 of improvement bonds seems assured, in spite of the fact that the Kansas corporation commission refused to allow the issuance of bonds to that amount recently. It now transpires that the Kansas commission refused to O. K. the issue on technical grounds, and did not turn down the proposition cold.

The action will delay the Katy improvements for the time being, but probably not for very long, as the company's officials have announced that they will make a new application in a more definite form. The objection made to the former application was that it was not sufficiently definite in stating what was to be done with the money to be raised. Of the $102,00,000 issue $25- 000,000 will be used in improving the line, and the remainder to take up present outstanding bond issues. From Kansas City to Parsons, the road is to be straightened until it is practically an air line. The road bed is also to be greatly improved.

Officials of the company say that the increased passenger and freight traffic renders such action on their part absolutely necessary. -Parsons Eclipse. Mr. and Mrs. A.

Mrs. Chas. Dyker returned home Arrested on a Statutory Charge. A man who is said to be 28 years old and named. Thomas Hopper was arrested before daylight Sunday by officer Hackler and landed in jail.

His arrest was caused by the story told by a girl named Sarah Embery, who say she is about 15 years of age, and told about being mitreated by Hoppers. Mayor Barr made an investigation and ordered Hopper held until the county attorney could come and make an investigation. County Attorney Sheldon came over Monday and after investigating the case asked to have Hopper bound over to the district court, which Judge Allard did in the sum of 000. He was taken to Paola on the afternoon train. The county attorney had the girl taken there, also, as there seems to have been an effort made to get her to leave town that she would not be here to appear against Hopper.

Marshal Conklin had taken her to his home Sunday morning to prevent her being influenced from the outside by any one until the county attorney could get here, and some people became rather active in a way that may get them into trouble if the facts developed later warrant. The girl is quite small for her age and knows very little of the world. It is said that her mother died -in an asylum in Missouri and that her father was in St. Joseph, the last she knew of him. At One time she was in the Home of The Good Shepherd, at Kansas City, but ran away to Kansas City, and found a place to stop with a sister of Hopper, who later moved here and brought the girl with her.

Just how long ago this was we did not learn, but it has been reported to have been during the strike, last summer. The affair has caused considerable comment around town and Marshal Conklin said Monday evening he was glad when Hopper got on the train and the train pulled out as there was some unrest around the town, and while no demonstration was made he felt better when the train pulled out. A train containing seventeen cars loaded with soldiers from the Philipines passed through this afternoon on their way east. A portion of the men go to New York and the others to Portland, Me. Those were the points from which they sailed two years ago lacking six days.

They went east, through Suez canal, and when they get back will have been entirely around the world. One of the men, with whom we talked, said he had been in the service over twenty years, and he said he was glad to get back to America. from Garnett Sunday.
