Ell Dorado Republican: A reporter
visited the Missouri Pacific shops and
found the men busily engaged. VIM
Dunn, foreman of the locomotive depart
ment, showed US through the round
house, and We found part Of the men
busy cleaning house and putting on
spring airs generally, while others were
repairing and preparing engines fol

The general manager of the B. & NJ,
after causing survey to be made for a
sidetrack to the Soldiers Orphans Home
at Atchison announced that he would not
put in track for the institution, as the
cost would amount to $4,000. This is
regarded as very unfortunate, as side
track to the home would be Of great
value. especially during the erection Of
the buildings for which $91,8OO was
appropriated by the legislature.
The citizens of Wichita, by George
W. Adams, city attorney, and George l..
Douglass, special attorney, have opened
a determined fight against the Rock
Island, Missouri Pacific, the Santa Fe
receivers and the Santa Fe company
in the matter of securing an equitable
adjustment of freight rates for Wichita
business men. The case has been pre-
sented to the state board of commission
ers and hearing has been arranged for
April %.
A committee of the business men of
Atchison held meeting and decided to
make an effort to induce the Burlington
and Rock Island to resume their train
service out of Atchison. Receiver Todd
of the bridge company has offered the
Burlington, Rock Island and other
roads crossing the bridge an annual
rental of $500 each, and every COM
pany will no doubt accept, provided &C.
ceptable terminal facilities can be 80

The I,ock Island railroad has not lost

How the Eskimo Count.

The Eskimo count their fingers-one,
two, three, four, five. Above five and
up to ten they use the second hand:
thus, six is ''the first finger of the
other hand" Above ten they en-
ploy the toes. Thirteen, for instance,
is three toes upon the one foot" and
eighteen, three toes on the second
foot" Twenty they describe as q
whole man." They seldom go farther
than this, but they can 90 so il neces-
sary. For example. they express
twenty-five by saying, two on the
second man," thirtyseven by two
toes on the second mans second foot"
forty is 1.-The whole of a second man."
According to DR.. Nansen they cannot,
or at least do not, count beyond one
which Is 1.-The whole Of the
fifth man."

New York JOurnalists-Their Pay.
In New York City the salaries are
higher than anywhere else. partly be-
cause of the superior standard of pro-
ficiency, and partly because the cost
of living is greater here than in any
other large city. One editor in chief
has the same salary as the President Of
the United States. $50. 900 per year. and
others receive from $4,000 to 1000,
or more than members of the Cabinet.
Managing editors are paid from 500
to $50 per week. or better cCmpensa-
ton than that of the Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress. Editorial
writer's get from $50 to SO per week, rs
4 rule. and in cases of rare ability as
much as the average salary of Il manag-
ing editor. City editors receive from
$50 to $40 per week. and in Il few in
stances 500. The pay of news editors
is about equal to that of city editors.
Literary. theatrical. and musical crit
les average $50 per week. Copy read
ers are paid from $40 to $40 per week.
Reporters earn all the way from $50
to $50 per week. with an average of
$40, and space writer's of particular tai
ent have been known to make as much
as $125 per week. though the limitation
Of topics and the pressure of cOmpeti
ton usually keep their incomes down
around those of the best-paid report
ers There are some writer's for syndi-
Gates of newspapers, men with names
that have a certain value, who earn
from 5000 to $4,000 a year, and there
are others of first-class technical capac-
ity in various lines whose salaries Oc-
casiOnally reach $1,000. The pay Of
all classes of journalists averages 10
per cent. lower In Brooklyn than in

For Use On the Writing Desk and

The very latest notion in lamps is q

lady's desk and her dressing table. and
there are some very fascinating varie-
ties from which to choose. says the
Boston Herald. One woman. who is
apt to be little in advance of most
fashions. has both her toilet table and
her desk fitted out already, and she is
the envy of all her friends The china
chosen for the writing equipment is still
the popular Dresden. and wonderfully
dainty it is. The ink we'll and pen rack
are combined. and sufficiently roomy
to suggest generous supply of ink
and pens of many sorts. The paper
rack is a gem in its way and really
contains sufficient supply to warrant
its being. The blOtter. the stamp box,
and all the paraphernalia are there.
and finishing all are the two lamps.
which stand always ready to be lighted
and to shed their soft light upon the
page.
The various implements of the toilet
on the dressing table all show handles
and backs of fine china. and the two
tiny lamps are so placed as to shed a
charming light over the whole and to
make the work of selection a delight

An Original Method.

From the time when the Achaians
founded Pisa it has been custom of hot
blOOded southerners to adjust their per-
sonal animosities by resOrting to the
duelling code. Though some man was
on each occasion Drained by battle
axe, impaled on glistening spear, or
filled with hot lead, the personal honor
of both sides to the fracas was main
tanned. But Arkansas has fallen into
the uncivilized ways of Kansas, Ne
braska and Indiana. and adopts original
methods indigenous to the province.
Last Sunday the Governor and law
maker met by chance in hotel instead
spun Virginia leaf tobacco under his
tongue. without warning to friends or
foe they began to expectorate amber
cOlored saliva into each others faces at
short range in true democratic simplici-
ty. In their boyhood days while des-
ecrating the Sabbath day fishing on the
classic banks of the Arkansas river, they
had practiced splitting at mark in the
dust, and the artistic manner in which
their faces and shirt fronts were decOrat-
shows that the practice of youthful days
was not thrown away. Both are re-
covering but. their constituents are feel
ing quite sick.

To BE Discussed.

At one of the earliest business sessions
of the new city council the new mayor
will submit Il proposition for it's con-
sideration embodying means or formu-
lating plans through the agencies of
which a readjustment of the city's bond.
ed debt may be effected. Mayor Sims
has been giving this matter considerable
study, and it is his opinion that arrange
ments can be cOnsummated and a
understanding reached with the city's
creditors by which the debt can be
Ieadjusted upon a basis that will be
eminently satisfactory to the creditor
and very profitable to the city. 1t is a
fact that money has much higher value
in the creditors mind today than ten
years ago. and Croesus himself would
feel cnary about the reluIns of his in
vested millions as lie stood upon the
backstepS of this adminisi a;ion ponder
ing over the tluctuatiOn of the public
mind and the ductility of political
economy. Because of this unparalleled
spasm of commercial cramps a great
number of investors in securities that
do not yield greater returns than King
SOlomon's mines are willing take shorter
service on settlement and throw in as
boot large quantity of premium that
exists between investing price and par
value of goods. This is matter of the
greatest importance to Dodge City, and
every tax payer will readily and con-
scientiously concede the justice of Mayor
Sims proposition, and give it hearty
endorsement.
Dodge City is paying too high rate
of tax. Her citizens are paying debts
that were neither rightfully nor honest
ly incurred, and if there exists any just
way under the sun to lessen the burden
it should be discovered and put into
effect.

For the Good He Has Done.

Mr.. Gluck on Monday retired from
the position of Mayor with the respect
and good will of much larger number
of citizens than he possessed as pub
lie servant when taking charge of the
Office. While this paper did not concur
with him in his public business policy
upon moral and legal lines. it con-
cedes that he has in looking after the
details of the city's business and caring
for the affairs of material and minor i'm
portance acquitted himself with credit
and honor. AS friend of property
owners he has been faithful, vigilant and
economical. Under his administration
the city debt has been largely reduced,
and the running expenses brought to
the lowest possible basis. Without pay
and without reward, except possible
commentator upon the part of tickle
public, he gave his time and attention to
the Office. to the detriment and neglect
of his private business. 1t is true that
he was surrounded by probably the
ablest business council as a whole that
ever aided a Dodge City mayor, but that
fact cannot detract from his efficiency
upon the line which was made special
feature of his administration.

May,r-Elect Sims was formally in
Quoted into Office last Monday and now
carries the keys of the city, together
with a sacred promise to see that the
city impounder obeys the mandates of a
governing ordinance, besides other
obligations commensurate with the i'm
portance of the office. The new mayor
is man of sound judgment and equable
temper, and it will be conscientious
policy with him to do what is generally
considered to be for the best material
interests of the city, at the same time
combining his influence with that of
the city council to retard whatever
demoralizing social tendencies that may
grow into public nuisance. Upon the
line that has been declared for him by q
majority of the voters of the city Mayor
Sims will make an honest effort to re
duce taxation to nominal rate, and the
opinion is gaining force that his admin
istration will be great financial success.

A Big Storm.

Last Friday made its advent with all
the balmy mildness of a beautiful spring
day, but before the curtain of night had
fallen it was distorted with all the phys-
cal defOrmities the mad elements could
conjure. From Sc degrees at noon the
temperature developed into overcoat
weather by 6 p. M. and from the per-
ceptible semblance of a zephyr in the
morning the breeze was hurricane at
nightfall. At about p. m. the chill
blasts began to hiss down from the north
and as the hours lazily wore along the
wind increased in velocity and force. Be-
fore darkness made its advent fences, out
houses and weakly constructed shanttes
were component factors of the world of
debris. The tornado maintained its force
and continued lis work of devastation
throughout the night and all day Satur-
day. There was slight lull in the gale
before IL p. m. Friday, and light rain
began followed by heavy wet snow
which chung to the telegraph and electric
light wires, making them and the poles
easy prey to the wind. While the snow
continued to fall all day Saturday, twisted
and drifted by the gale, the greatest dam
age was done during the night preceding.
The Western Union suffered seriously,
its wires being down both east and west,
and very few poles remained upright as
! far west as Howell.
The Postal Telegraph wires were also
down, though its poles, being newer,
stood the fury of the storm with but light
loss.
There was no communication with the
outside world, and in consequence all
trains from the east were blocked here
until Sunday evening.
About forty electric light poles were
down and wires broken and scattered in
every part of the city.
Cattle and horses persisted where ex-
posed to the storm. A large number of
western cattle, unloaded last week, sue
eumbed.
A great deal of damage was done to
trees Of all kinds, and portions of many
grain fields were peeled down to the solid
dirt.
The total movement of wind for "a
consecutive hours was SSS miles.
The maximum velocity of wind was IS
miles, at about 5 p. M. Friday.
The total precipitation was .76 inch.
Dodge City was in the heart Of the
storm center, and the soil of Ford county
is thoroughly soaked.
