To Pack Up and Get Away.

CHICAGO, October N.-All the occupants of
the state buildings will commence to pack
up their belongings promptly October 81,
and the buildings will then be closed to the
general public. Of course it will take some
time to pack up and get away, particularly
as it has been decided that it will not be
practicable to build spur tracks to the var
ious buildings for the purpose of shipping out
the contents.
The Kansas people are considering a prop
osition to tahe their building to Topeka and
set it up on the fair grounds there, with all
the contents intact. The adoption of this
plan finds much favor, and if the Topeka
people can raise the money the building will
be given to them by the state.

PAY DAY.
General Manager Frey Pours
On Oil.
Inc Santa Fe is Creeping Toward the Old
Regular Pay Day and Asks for the
Patience Of the Men q Little
Longer.

The feelings of the officials of the Santa
Fe road is shown by the following telegram
which was sent to all the division superin-
tendents along the system by General Man.
ager Frey:
'tPlease explain fully to our employees that
during the last three months the manage
ment has been compelled to face the most
difficult financial problem of its existence.
The monetary stringency all over the United
States resulted in the sudden loss of revenue
IN each of the three months of a sum which
would have been sufficient to have paid more
than half the payroll Of the company. In
addition to this serious embarrassment, thc
denly found themselves unable from the
withdrawal of deposits to make any loans.
cit was not question of credit of the bor-
rover, because we have had the most posi-
tive evidence that ours has been and is still,
among the best. Before the panic it was
simple matter to obtain temporary loans
when necessary TO retain the regularity OF
our disbursements. in which our company
has always maintained an enviable reputa-
ton.
1.-THE temporary shrinkage in receipts, and
the lmpO6SlDlllty OF obtaining DanK accom-
modations, has made it simply impossible
that all parties should not be Inconvenience
and il is only reasonable that the employees
who have enjoyed regular occupation and
prompt pay should Join the management in
q hearty endeavor to carry the company
through the critical period, the worst of
which has certainly passed and with the re-
duced expenses the effect of which we shall
feel from now on. and the increased earn
in0s of which the employees all see the evil
dence, we feel confident that it will not be
long before we shall be able to get back to
our regular pay days. This, however, can
qot be done at once, but the treasurer feels
confident that he will be able to pay the
September rolls commencing on the Chicago
division on the fifth of November and work
ing rapidly west as far as the funds will per-
NIT, so that the extreme western employees
will be paid by the 18th, and that he will be
able to deliver the October checks common
cling on the 10th of November, on the Chi
cago division, and cleaning up all by the
end of the month.
every disturbance in industrial occupa-
tions has tendency to shake the general
confidence, upon the return of which the
business salvation of all of us depends.

Many Amendments.

WASHINGTON. D. c., October N.-Some
doubts are expressed as to whether final
vote upon the repeal bill will be reached so
early as the managers thought possible.
This will depend partially upon the time
in considering amendments.
Investigation reveals the fact that more of
these will be offered than had at first been
supposed, and the result of inquiry indicates
that there will be considerable speech max
ing upon several of these. The silver men
count upon getting more votes upon some of
these amendments than against the bill
itself, but it does not seem probable that
any of them will carry.

Judge Foster on Retired List.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. October pa bill
is prepared, which it is expected will be
passed at once, to place Judge G. G. Foster
of the O. S. district court of Kansas on the
retired list with full pay.
There are two precedeuts for such legisla-
tion and in both cases for like causes: the
inability of the judge;to serve because of long
continued sickness. A judge is entitled to
full pay without work after reaching the age
of 20 years, provided he has served certain
number of years.
Already speculation is brisk as to who
shall succeed Judge Foster; Senator John

A New Status in tho Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. c. October 26.-The re-
port that the silver democrats in the senate
had decided against further effort to pro.
long the fight over the repeal bill is correct
beyond question. The policy was decided
upon in a conference of the silver democrats
who have refrained from filibustering, but
who felt inclined to enter upon a campaign
of that character in opposition to the bill,
Senators Cockrell, Vest, Harris and Walthall
being among those present.
Senator Dubois, leader Of the western OPP
position forces to the repeal of the silver bill,
said that the fight for silver had failed. The
southern and western democrats had left
them. There might be some discussion on
the amendments, but the vote would prob
ably come within the week.

SPEED AT WORK.
Has Piles of Evidence Before
Grand JurieS.
expects to Accomplish Wholesale Indict-
ments, of Parties Engaged in Fraudu-
lent Practices mt the Opening OF
the strip.

dUTHIE, .. T., October 30.-More than two
weeks ago United States District Att orney
speed began investigating the charges of
fraud, collision and bribery that we're being
mace against the officials of the land offices
IN the Strip and the department clerks and
of1clals who had charge of the opening.
NO sooner had he begun, however, than
there was tremendous effort made to have
him removed from Office. This convinced
him thoroughly that he was getting hot on
somebody's trail, and he at once arranged to
bring matters before the United States grand
Jury. For over week he piled up evidence
against the Enid officials before the grand
jury at King6sher and then he came here
and began hunting down the Perry officials.
From the very first the testimony was SEN
sational, and showed a terrible state of cor
ruptlon to exist in the land Office there.
Scores of men testified to having given
brides to soldiers, booth clerks, deputy mar
shals and other subordinates, and then came
those who testified regarding the illegal re-
ceiying of filing papers by Register Malone
and others in the land Office.
Joseph Miller, prominent attorney was
brought before the grand jury, but refused
to testify regarding the illegal filings made
by the officials for a consideration. as 1t
might criminate himself. He was brought
before Judge Dale, who ordered him to test
lily, and he did so, revealing some startling
facts. Next, A. j. Handlin, chief clerk of
the Perry land Office, was brought upon the
stand. He refused to answer any questions
regarding the irregular and illegal filings
being received for the reason that it might
criminate himself, but was ordered by Judge
Dale to testify as to the acts of all others
employed in the land Office.
His testimony alone substantiates the
most radical charges of fraud made by any
body, for it shows that many men were
brought into the land Office who had never
been in line and allowed to make filings:
that filings were made by men who never
appeared at the land office; that places were
openly bartered in the line; that certain
men who loafed about the saloon kept by
Register Malone's brother acted as steerers
and brought in men at the back door TO
make filings, and other things in the same
line.
This, testimony has caused great sensa-
lion, and the people of ali parts are now
,oua in denouncing the outrages and de-
lnapG ing that no guilty man escape.
Mr.. Speed will bring in lot more of the
officials to testify and proposes to push the
investigation until the grand jury has evil
dence sufficient to indict and convict every
crooked official. high or low, and it is now
certain that the list of indictments that will
be found will startle the whole nation.
