One who IL accustomed 20 railway
travelling can scarcely realize how mucl
he IL dependent for safety upon the en-
glneer. Added 20 the responsibility d
their station, engineers are also in con
slant danger Of accidents caused BY
tricks Of jealous rivals.
This rivalry, IL IL said, sometimes
prompts 70 the doing Of utterly mean
tricks. A Nickle Plate engineer ste
bis very first trip was LAID OF because he
had "cut out" all the bearings Of his en-.
gIne- He was re.instated, however, afteE
be proved that some rival had filed his
otltng can with emery. Another new
engineer was suspended for burning out
the dues Of his boiler. Through grief al
the loss Of his position he died, and then

that he had put oil In the tank 80 that il
loaned and showed wafer at the top

These intense jea1ousies, together with
the terrible anxiety incident 70 their
work, has terribly straining effect on

ORGANIZED CHARITY

Fhis paper, last Friday, contained the
details of swindle upon the people of
our neighboring towns. which is but the
type of d thousand cases of robbery Der
petrated upon the public every day
under the guise oil worthy need. When
an appeal is made for help, particularly
by child, and that child a girl, we 90

lieving, perhaps, that it is better to give
10 all that apply than that any who are

the plea given above. If otherwise, he

In our large cities some such plan as
the following has been adopted, and we
believe 1t could be introduced in any
place where pressure of business keeps
man busy several hours each day. The
plan Is as follows: The business men
orgsnlzs an association and pay some
suitable person having leisure, to do the
business of looking after the applicants
and investigating their cases. Tickets
are issued to members, aud when an ap
plicstion for aid is made, the busy mar
hands a card, upon which are the diTec
tiOns to the associations representative
and this directs the needy where theS

expense of the association is betrayed by
an assessment per capita upon tht
membership. The person given In,

fraud if oae applied. This is the pIa1
adopted in Chicago. We believe, and thu

As the amount OF money paid in by
this showing is not paid in at the be-
ginning, but from week to week, the
per centage of profit to the depositor Is
nearly double what it appears to be. For
instance, at the end of ak years the
average time of the $7s paid in has
been but three years. and the $27.29
profit is therefore paid for the use of
S7S for three years, or the use of $50
for six years, whichever way the depos-
Itor chooses TO look at it.
In the association referred to, a 800
share paid in full when taken, as 1t may
be, would without further payments
thereon, come IN six years to SIT. Any
amount from twenty-five cents per
week, upward to 800 in full, may be
paid on q share, and draw tea. per cent
per annum, compounded from year to
year as long as left in the ASSOCIATION.
If there Is any method of saving
money and getting good interest upon
it which offers superior safety, profit
and convenience to the plan established
by the Emporia Mutual Loan and Saw
lngs Association, We are not acquainted
with il.

West Virginia. When the war broke
out he enlisted in the Second Virginia

EMPORIA q sOUrHWEsrERN.

The Ell Dorado Republican comes to
US with the following interesting matter
regarding this enterprise which we
gladly copy. Col. Jones passed through
Emporia last evening.

our town Thursday evening, having
passed over the entire line between here

This line, as our readers know, was
first projected from Imports intending
TO be an extension of the Union Pacificss
CarbOndale line which is already built
from Lawrence to Carbonate and
graded to Usage City.
We now learn that there may be a
change In the program and that the new
road may become an extension of the
Chicago, Burlington 8 Quincy OF the
Milwaukee & st. Paul, from the Mis-
souri, river.
However, President Jones in forms us
that the people all along the line be-

Sycamore, 1t will probably pass within
one mile Of Sycamore Springs, q station
to be established near the school house iu
that township.
Mr.. Jones says he has ordered q new
survey down the divide east Of the Wal
nut which will bring the line to the
Walnut, near Chelsea. Here the river
may be crossed, the road coming down
on the west side Of the stream. This
has not yet, however, been determined
Mr.. Jones Gays the road is going @

the various townships in q very short

these: That Oh1cer Birdsall arrested the

committing an assault upon the latter
gentleman. and upon bringing the pris-
oner into court MIR. Peters refused 90
complain against the prisoner. then
suggested TO Mr.. BirdsaIl to make the
complaint himself, 20 winch he replied
that he had not seen the offense commit
ted and did not like TO swear to q state
OF facts which helknew 70 exist only by
authority Of Mr.. Peters. then simply
said that I could not try the case unless
some one filed q complaint, that being
the only way In which l could take cog
nizance OF the case. afterwards learn

oner upon his promising to leave the
