The cornerstone of the new building

will be 9 feet square at the base and
40 feet high. The audience room will

structed of frame. We have been shown

imposing one. The largest portion of
the money to be used in the construc-
ton of the building has been provided.

The Santa Fe.


The Kansas City Journal of Tuesday
says:
The wonder over the resignation of
General Manager c. C. Wheeler, of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, was
increased yesterday by the reception Of
the news of the resignation of W. B.
Strong, president of the same company.
The important news of the resignation
Of the latter was telegraphed Saturday
from Denver to . Chicago paper, but
the associated press which is very care
less in collecting railway news failed to
send it west, and it was not known here
until yesterday morning. How the in
formation happened to emenate from
Denver is not explained, but it is cred
tied, as outside facts tend to give it
weight. There are two factions in the
Santa Fe directory, and list Of stock
holders, viz: The W. B. Strong faction
and the Thos. Nickerson faction. The
former dispossessed the latter some
years ago and the present officers almost
to q man were placed in power and po-
sition by the victorious faction, headed
and represented by Mr.. Strong. A
we'll posted man told the Headlight yes
terday that the reported resignation of
President Strong, if true, meant simply
that the Nickerson faction had obtained
control. The unexpected and inexpli-
cable resignation of Mr.. Wheeler is the
strongest confirmation of this report,
''and in my opinion" he said, "others
will 60. In fact, these are mere intro
auctions to a grand finale"

A Sudden Death.

Last Monday afternoon the citizens
of this place were considerably shocked
when they heard that John Hairless,
superintendent of the Kansas ditch, was
dead. There being something suspi-
cious about his death, Mr.. VIM. H. Hahn
deemed it best to have an inquest held,
and accordingly Squire Pierce was no.
tilted, who Immediately proceeded to
empannel jury consisting of the fol-
lowing six men: r. NJ. Morton, S. Hal
sey, c. J. Jones, Fred Finnup, N. NJ.
Carter and r. D. Stuver.
Several persons gave testimony as to
where they had last seen the deceased,
and others who attended him during his
last hours Among other things it was
found that he had been drinking quite
heavily for some time previous to his
death, and during the last day or two
had been drinking Hostetter' bitters,
and it seems by some means or another,
being crazed from the effects of bad
whisky and poisonous bitters, had got
hold OF bottle of bed-bug poison made
of corrosive sublimate and other ingre-
dients, and drank large portion of it,
thinking it was whisky. Where he got
this poisonous mixture was not clearly
proven, but it is supposed that he took
it from behind the counter in the Office
of Cottage hotel, as the bottle was
identified by Mr.. PECAN, proprietor Of
the above-named house. The verdict
of the jury was that the deceased came
to his death by drinking a mixture of
corrosive sublimate, chloride of lime
and water by mistake.
John Hairless was young man about
30 years of age, and was much respec-
ted by the company in whose employ
he had been for the past six months
He came to this place from Lincoln,
ILL.,, less than year ago, to take charge
of the Kansas ditch. He was buried
last Tuesday afternoon in the cemetery
north of town.-[Garden City Irrigator,

Wichita and Dodge City.

A Wichita special says: The Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe company are
rapidly completing their line between
this point and Kingman City, on the
cutoff to Dodge City, thus shortening
their line some sixty miles and avoiding
the great bend of the Arkansas river.
A large amount of bridge material is
already here, and work on the bridge
crossing the great Arkansas river at
this point will begin at once. A prom
inent railway man here today says that
the new line now building as the Wich-
tia and Dodge City railway will be the
main line of the Santa Fe from Kansas
City to the mountains.
