TO MAKE NO CHANGE.
Headquarters of the Santa Fe
Under Reorganization
WILL NOT BE DIVIDED UP.

Topeka Travelling Man Eurt in a
Wreck NEAR NewrOn-Other Rail-
road Items.
The report which appeared in the st.
Louis Globe Democrat of October %, to
the effect that in the reorganization OF
the Santa Fe system it was proposed to
establish separate headquarters at diHeF-
ent points along the line for the fostering
of local business, apparently indicating
that the policy of concentrating every
thing at Chicago was TO be abandoned,
seems to be without foundation.
A gentleman of this city who 10 closely
In touch with the interior management
of the santa Fe stated that it was not the
intention of the reorganization committee
10 divide the operating force or establish
separate headquarters, aud that the
method of transacting business would
remain the same, all work being devel-
oped and handled at Chicago and Topeka.
In regard to the report in circulation
that after the reorganization several of
the general offices would be transferred
from Topeka to chicago, he stated that
while it had been the desire of a
number of the eastern stock holders
for some time to have general eastern
Offices, the advisability of such move
had not even been considered by tho
committee since the passing OF the act
at the last legislature allowing the COM
pany to reorganize in Kansas.
Prior to the existence of this act, no
company issuing preferred stock was al
lowed to organize in this state, and as the
reorganized com pany will issue preferred
stock it would have been necessary to
have organized in the state of Illinois,
the laws of that state then compelling the
company to establish general offices
there.
As this act, which was passed for the
special benefit of the Santa Fe road,
allows preferred stock to be issued, no
change will be necessary and the general
offices will remain IN this city,
This gentlem an also stated that there
was but little doubt that D. 3. Robinson
would be president of the reorgauized
company,

A Novelty Introduced on Santa Fe Re
frI2erator Cars.
In the Santa F'e carpenter shop in this
city five refri gerator cars are being fitted
with folding ice boxes, which is an en-
tirely new departure in the manner of
equipment, and is original with the
Santa Fe.
When these cars are carrying load
not under refrigeration, the ice boxes
can be folded against the walls, giving
much more loading space, aud couse-
Quenily mat erially lessening the time of
all such shipments in reaching The mar
kets.
1t is the intention of the Santa Fe
company to eqlip all their fr,gerator
cars ia this manner, and their example
will doubtless be followed by other roads.

The mills Of the gods grind slowly,
but they grind. Tho time had come to
oarry out the dream Of my girlhood,
when, through Mr.. Isaac II. Bailey.
appealed to the present owners OF John
Browns farm to help me save 1t from
auction. Owing to the generous response
Of one woman and IS men. the farm OF
$40 acres was bought, good tenant Sc
cured. aud when I visited the Adiron-
dacks in 1899 our property had trebled
in value. The house was in good repair,
and John Browns grave was the Mecca
Of tourists.
The subscribers to the John Brown
fund were Mrs. r. @. Watterson, Boston,

Of eternity. The last to go was jackson
& Schultz, with whom had serious
talks about tho disposition of the farm

tho angel of death approaching. Both
friends realized the necessity OF putting
this historic farm in such condition le-
pally as to fulfill the original intention.

There are four classes Of persons VIII
should not drink large quantities OF ho
