CUTTING DOWN.
The Santa Te Lets Out Many OF Its Shop
Men-An Unexpected Order.

The Santa Fe Let's Out Many OF Its Shop
Men-An Unexpected Order.
TOPEKA, Kan, July lit was only
short time ago that the daily working
time of the Santa Fe shop hands was
reduced from ten hours to eight and
yesterday another order was issued di-
recting that enough men be discharged
to reduce the expenses 20 per cent
The order came by wire from Chicago
and was signed by General Manager j.
]. Frey and Superintendent OF Ma
chinery John Player, who recently
went there to consult with the leads
of departments.
The order was wholly unexpected by
the men. and the first intimation they
had of it was yesterday afternoon as
they were about to quit work for the
day. when the discharged men were
notified by ID. Z. Cain, assistant super
intendent of machinery. The number
included fifty machinists, twenty black
smiths and thirty-tive boilermakers.
The men think the order was not
issued to cut down expenses. but to get

the recent strike. Ono of the dis
charged men said this morning: The
company wants to get even with the
strikers. With the exception of two or
three Homestead men all the dis
charged men are members of the union
and went out on the strike. don't
know what our union will do about it.
A meeting will be held tonight"
d. +. Cain, assistant superintendent
of machinery, says he does not know
what inspired the order, but presumes
its object was economy. Nothing was
said in the order about the carpenters,
painters and repairers in the car shops
and Cain does not know whether the
reduction will be extended to them or
whether it will be extended to shops
outside of Topeka.
Both the men and the company's fore
man say that the reduction is not vio-
lation of the contract by which the late
strike was settled. That agreement
was that no men should be discharged
until after the time had been reduced
to eight hours.

FIGHTING FOR THEIR FEES.

Kansas Sheriffs Propose to Test tho New
Law Concerning Mortgage Foreclosures.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 3-Sheriff John
NJ. Wilkerson, of Shawnee county, in
behalf of the Sheriffs' association OF
Kansas, has commenced proceedings in
the supreme court to test the effect OF
the new mortgage law on sheriffs' fess.
The new law provides that when prop
erty sold under foreclosure ispurchased
by the mortgagee the sheriff is not en-
titled to any fee.
Under the old law the sheriff got a
commission of $40 on every 81, 900 worth
of property sold. The taking away OF
this commission reduces the salaries OF
the Kansas sheriffs, who devote most OF
their attention to foreclosure suits,
almost one-half The only thing the
sheriffs expect to make out of this suit
Is to get a decision from the supreme
court as to whether the new law ap-
plies to contracts existing at the time
of the passage Of the law, as well as to
new contracts. The sheriffs insist that
Il only applies to new contracts
The question was raised in the dis
srict court of Shawnee county few
weeks ago, and Judge Hazen decided
that the fees could not be collected. 1t
Is this case which has been taken to
the supreme court

Made Up His Fine to the Judge.

Judge Smith was once prosecuting
lawyer in the little town of Quitman,
Miss. On one occasion he was defend
ing case before Judge Buck Hancock.
During the trial Judge Smith had
occasion to frequently go out of the
courtroom. Judge Hancock finally
got tired of the delay in the case caused
by Smiths absence and reprimanded
him. Finally Smith came into the
room with his hat on. The Judge saw
his opportunity and called out:
MIR. Smith, I fine you $50 for con.
tempt of court"
Very well, Your Honor" was the
reply, III pay it tomorrow"
The case went on. The next day
Hancock was in better humor and,
desiring to 60 out for moment, called
Judge Smith to the bench. After
Judge Hancock had left the room the
acting justice turned to the clerk and
said:
The fine against Mr.. Smith yester-
day for contempt of court is RENTED"
And SO it was.

Blue-Eyed Light-Haired Indians.

Do you know that there are in Mex
leo several thousand Indians who
have fair skins, blue eyes, and light
hair Well, it's fact. The Mayas,
inhabiting the Sierra Madre Mountains
in the lower part of Sonora, are sup
posed to be the descendants of the crew
and passengers of Swedish vessel
wrecked on the Mexican coast long GEN.
turtles before the birth of Columbus.
They have tradition that their
ancestors "came in great canoe over
the big salt water many hundreds of
moons ago." They have never been
conquered by the Mexicans. They are
nominally under Mexican rule, but are
in reality governed by their own chiefs.
Whenever the Mexican government in
terferes with them they take up arms.
and they have got the best of every
scrimmage thus far. The Yaquis are
their neighbors, and those two warlike
tribes have reciprocity reduced to q
science. Whenever the government
interferes with the Yaquisl the Mayas
come to their assistance, and vice rersa.
Mexican troops can not stand before
the Mayas, or white Indians. They are
the most desperate fighters on the
North American Continent. Like their
neighbors, the Yaquis, they are mostly
Catholics. Although quite primitive,
almost savage, in their mode of life,
the standard of morality is high. They
live principally by the chase, but
cultivate some corn and garden truck
in the valleys. They all retain traces
of their Swedish ancestry and the
linguists say that their language evil
dences North European ancestry.

Origin of Words,

Study reveals odd and unexpected
relationship among words which bear
little superficial resemblance to each
other. Loaf" is own cousin, as we
may say, to two such unexpected words
as lady" and lord" lady is loaf
kneader, and lord is a loaf keeper.
To sup" or take supper" is now to
eat the last meal of the day; but the
original meaning of the term was to
drink, meaning still retained by the
closely allied ''sip." From the same
root we get the words sop" and soup. "
How curiously terms take on new sig
nificance is e1emplified by the word
"custard." In these days custard is
a mixture of milk and eggs, sweetened,
and then baked or boiled. It may be
cooked with or without pastry, but is
sharply distinguished from it. Yet the
word "custard" is from the same root
as "crust," and originally meant crust
or pasty. The connection of the
word salary" with salt" is matter of
general knowledge, but it is probably
not so commonly known that salad, p"
sauce, "souse" and sausage" have the
same saline origin, the idea of sailing
or seasoning having been foremost in
them all. A "steak" was originally a
slice Of meat stuck on wooden peg
and roasted before the fire. We have
changed the custom, but retained the
word. 1t is worth noting, also, that
etiquette" stake" stocking, "stoker"
and ticket" have come from the same
root. A"chop" is nothing but a chap
or chip" luncheon is a lump, a
piece broken off; "stew" is something
cooked on a "stove;" and pudding
from pad" a bag-was originally an
intestine filed with meat, in other
words, sausage.

 these columns. are again to the from as will be seen from the following clipping from the Seattle Wash, Press Times, of July 18th: A deal was con. summated in Seattle last Saturday which involves the transfer of about S6OO,0 900 worth of property.
 It was the sale of the Seattle City Railway company, known as the Yes Ter avenue line, by Wilmahs brothers to syndicate of eastern capitalists represented by Fred. E. Sander, for mer owner.
 By the terms of the sale the entire interests of J. M. Wilmans, s. c. Will mans and F. w. Wilmans, who owned the controlling stock in the road, has been turned over to the syndicate rep resented by, Mr. Sander. This includes five miles of cable railway, about if teen acres of land at the end of Yes Ter avenue and known as Leschi park and the steamers Edith E. and Kirk land.
 The Wilmans brothers held the con trolling stock of the road for over a year and during that time it was paying investment for them. They bought from L. s. J, Hunt W. A. Un- derwood and Fred J. Grant, who se- cured their interest from Fred E. San der.
 Wilman brothers, the retiring own CTS, are largely interested in mining, their companies being the Wilmans Mining Company and the Pearsall Mining Company, owning the Monte Cristo mines and the Blewett Gold Mining Company, owining valuable mines in the Peshastin country. They will now devote all their energies to he development of these properties.
