PERRY PICK UPS.

PERRY, o. T., March Especial THE
splendid rain which fell few days ago
has left the prairie sod in fine condition
for breaking, and everywhere from the
hills west of the city may be seen the
farmers busy at work.
Every day car loads of settlers arrive
with their household goods all shipped to
this point where they are unloaded and
the start made for their new homes.
Register Davis has finally been notified
that his official bond was accepted and he
has at last entered fully upon his import
ant duties.
AS usual after every rain the street COM
missioner is regarding the streets around
the square.
Again the tide has turned and
carpenters from all over the United States
are focking to the city. The fact that there
is now only steady growth and not
special demand for hundreds more artizans
than are here does not in the least deter
others from coming. One mechanic struck
the town without dollar last Monday,
with his tools in the express office. When
be ascertained the situation he cried like
child. An old friend secured "a job FOR him
at reasonable wages and he dried his tears.
There is considerable work here but there
are also many mechanics to do 1t.
The Democratic politicians are working
like beavers manipulating the wires Tor
tile coming unwashed convention. Mayor
Brogan is reported as not candidate tor
reelection. All the other old officers, both
the foreigners appointed and those elected,
are bObbing up serenely.
Republicans will also draw the strict
party lines and are jubilaut and hopeful of
a complete sweep. A poll of the city has
shown most favorable results.

toilets of the ladies were exquisite. The
music by the ladies' guartette. male quar-
tette, Miss Simmons, Mrs. Shepherd,
Myatt Beattie and others were of "a high
order. Misses Beale, Tucker and others
served tea and coffee, snd in fine, every one
enjoyed himself. The affair netted the
church a neat little sum.

Master Sargent of the firemen, and Grand
Chief Arthur Of the engineers, with the
committee of dissatisfied employees of the
Northern Pacific railway today called on

modified schedule previously announced by
the management. Mr.. Case made state

the best possible. from their standpoint,
and explained in tull the proposed
changes. The men were not satisfied aud
retired for consultation. After the con-
sultation Grand Chief Arthur recommend

the opinion that the best thing to do WAS

CHICAGO, March 7-Negotiations were
begun today between the Southern Pacific
and the Santa Fe for a settlement OF the
matters in dispute between them. Presi-
dent Huntington of the former company,
wired President Reinhart of the Santa
Fe, preferrng to arbitrate all matters in
dispute pending the result of which rates
should be restored and side trips either
abandoned by both or permitted over both
roads. President Reinhart declined, but
suggested an Immediate restoration of
rates aud negotiations for permanent
settlement to be resumed where they
were dropped by Vice President Crocker
last summer. He intimated that he ex-
pected to be in California within the month
and suggested the negotiations be re-
sumed at that time. That is where the
matter now rests. Meantime the Santa
Fe followed up its notice of withdrawal
from the Western Passenger association
by filing an additional notice today with
drawing from all local associations and
also from the Immigrant clearing mouse
arrangement. This action, it IS thought,
will materially aid in complicating mat
ters in the Western Passenger association
territory.
At meeting of the Western Freight
association today rules were adopted
under which it is proposed that the pro-
jected uniform classification shall operate
AS soon as it receives the final
approval of tue various associations
throughout the country. The rules are
the same in substance as those adopted by
the Central Traffic association in January.
A committee of eight was appointed to
represent the association at a further con-
ference with the interstate commerce COM

KANSAS RAILWAYS.
Report Of the State Board Of Rail
way Commissioners.

TOPEKA, Kan, March THE eleventh
annual report of the Kansas state board of
railroad commissioners has been printed
and is ready for distribution. The report
is voluminous, containing 592 pages. 1t
was prepared by NJ. b. Henderson. secre-
tary of the board, and is complete in every
detail. The board was unable to inspect
all the roads in the state in 1893 with
view of ascertaining their condition and
the manner in which they were operated,
but those inspected, with few miner ex-
ceptions. were found to be in good condi-
tlon The board noted u tendency on the
part of the leading lines to the improve
ment of roadbeds aud the maintenance OF
a higher degree of efficiency in operation.
ave note with regret marked increase
of accidents" the board continues. THE
total number of casualties on all the rail
ending June 30 1892, was 2,213, while the
number for the Year ending June 30, 1873,
was 8, 022 an increase of 80 per cent. We
expected this would be accounted for by
the increase in the number of passengers
carried, but an examination of the reports
show that the increase Of passenger trafhc
over the same lines OF road was only IL
per cent during the same period. some
means should be adopted tor the better
protection of human life. Inside the
boundaries of the state alone 40 persons
have been killed and 736 injured during
the Twelve months-a total of S39. equal
to a small army. 1t would seem that
safety appliances and other means and
precautions could be used in making
human life and limb more sacred.
"The total number of miles Of railroad

NEW York, March At will be a great
surprise TO the racing world to learn that
the Cousy Island Jockey club's great
spring handicap race, the suburban, which
has been one of the best races OF the year,
aud which for the past few years has been
reduced to $l2, 600. and will be worth that
sum this season. The Coney Island Jockey
club has not as yet made this announce
ment officially, but gentleman VINO
knows whereof hs speaks gave the
facts today.
'It is the intention" ne said. .'instead
of having the Suburban worth Eo.OOO 70
make that race of guaranteed value OF
$l2. 900. The other $l3 600 will be used Tor
two new races, both handicaps, ono at
three-quarters of mile and the
other at a mile. / think the -Coney
Island people made a mistake in re-
ducing the value of the Suburban, Tor
there is no denying that it will remove
great deal of the glamour which has
always surrounded the race. and the
Brooklyn handicap. which is again guar
anteed to be worth 5000, will be the
star handicap of the country. aud Coney
Island will in measure lose much pres
tige. The adding of the new rsces Is
good idea, and will no doubt strengthen
the Sheepshead Bay Programme"
From the same source 1T was learned
that the weights for the Suburban and
the other handicaps mentioned would not
be announced until short time previous
to the date of running-a few days, in fact.
This would be great mistake, and would
be poor policy to pursue, AS the class OF
entries would Of necessity be lower than
under the system which made the Subnr-
ban of old such success. When Mr..
Lawrence devised the Suburban, Futur:ty
and other great stakes that made the Coney
Island Jockey club known the world
over, he gave the industry of breeding
thoroughbreds a great boom, and he as
much rs any man in this country made it
possible for horse 20 win more than
$3.50. 900 in a single year 1t IS the earn
lug capacity Of tho thoroughbred that
makes him more valuable than the trotter.

of Hearts for the initial race will never be-
