FAST RUN ON THE SANTA FEE

forty minutes late, owing TO necessity of
waiting fog eastern connections, but
reached Hutchinson, a distance of 234
miles, exactly time, having made up
forty minutes on present fast schedule,
making all customary stops for passen-
gers, water, coal. etc, ETC., en- route.
This is an average speed of 52.3 miles
per hour, which is certainly a remarkable
record for a single track railroad,
especially when the weight of the train
Is taken into consideration, same consist
Ing of one go foot mail car, one 80 foot
baggage car, one 60 foot chair car one
~ wheel dining car and two IL wheel
Pullman cars, total of six cars.
1t must further be considered that fast
limited trains of lines east of Chicago
and st. Louis, seldom carry more than
four cars. all of which are constructed
especially for fast runs, and are much
lighter in weight, while it will be noticed
that the equipment on the Santa Fe linn
tied train is heavy ~ wheel Pullman
sleepers, dining Cars, baggage cars, etc.
On certain portions of the run between
Kansas City and Hutchinson the train
attained speed of from go to So miles
per hour; for instance. Plymouth to SAT-

Grove, of 30.7 miles was made in 81
minutes, average speed of 576 miles
per hour.
Had it been necessary the same aver
age speed of So 3 miles per hour would
have been maintained or exceeded
through to Dodge City, but as the train
reached its own schedule at Hutchinson,
where it was on time, it naturally
followed its customary sch edule
from that point to- Dodge City over por-
ton of the road where the greatest speed
is usually obtained.
This in connection with the remarkably
fast run from Denver to Colorado Springs,
Cripple Creek and Leadville made on
January 1, places the AtchisoD, Topeka
s. Santa Fe in the front rank among
western roads.

and Deputy Constable ]. NJ Nelson.
Between 8 and 9 o'clock Sunday morn

Deputy Constable Nelson's house near
the town of Reno and asked how far it
was to Co1eyville, Kan. MIR. Nelson
said ''about $50 miles.H The Indians
then asked for something to eat Mr.
Nelson told them to step into the house
and get breakfast. Their clothes gave
them away, especially the numbers
stamped thereon.
MIR. Nelson told the red men to eat
breakfast while he went out to feed his
horses. They were suspicious and
quickly left the house, the one inside
following, and started for the brush. Mr.
Nelson ran for a horse; but before he
could hope to overtake the fleeing In
dams they were in the woods.
a few minutes later Mr.. Nelson rode
to Constable Hawkins house and &C.
quainted him with the facts. Together
they rode back to where the escaped
prisoners entered the woods. There
they hitched their horses and took up
the trail.

wheat. May opened 2e14 and went 10

Oats were stronger with wheat and
corn. May opened 1914 and advanced
to 1881.

disposing of his Topeka property-that

Today he filed a deed in the register of
deeds Office transferring the Grand Opera
house to the Missouri, Kansas & Ne
braska Opera House and Amusement
company.
This same amusement company is L.
NJ. Crawford. He holds practically all
the stock. but in 1898 $250,O00 in first
mortgage bonds of the company were
issued and sold, so Crawford is the
owner subject to these bonds. The con
sideration named is $4,000, but
it is not probable that
Mr.. Crawford's bond holders put
up that much money as the house is COW
cred by mortgages amounting to about
$4,000. The transfer was probably
made Simply for convenience and to quiet
on tho Crawford circuit
A deed was also filed on the property
known as Crawford's fats, between
Quincy and Monroe on Fifth street, to
Lewis Sells. The consideration is named
as $4,000. When Mrs. Sells reenspan
was about to foreclose on Crawford's

was in Topeka aud it was said at the
time that he paid Mrs. Sells Greenspan
the amount of her claim. about $4,000

erty to Mr.. Sells, it is presumed in dis
charge of the debt.

Vienna Scientist Discovers How
to Photograph Through solid Sub
stances.
NEW YORK, Jan. IA dispatch to a
local paper from London says: The
noise of wars alarms should not distract
attention from the marvellous triumph of
science which is reported from Vienna.
1t is announced that Prof. Routgen, of
the Wurzburg university, has discovered
a light, which for the purpose of photo
graphing, will penetrate wood, flesh, and
most other organic substances
The professor has succeeded in photo
graphing metal weights which were in a
closed wooden case, also mans hand
which shows only the bones, the flesh be-
ing Invisible. The Chronicle correspon-
dent says the discovery is simple. The
professor takes a so-called crookes pipe,
viz: A vacuum glass pipe with an induc-
ton current going through it, and by
means of rays which the pipe emits,
photographs on ordinary Photographic
plates. In contrast with the ordinary
rays of light the rays penetrate organic
matter. and other opaque substances just
as ordinary rays penetrate glass.
He has also succeeded in protographing
hidden metals with a cloth thrown over
the camera The rays penetrated not
only the wooden case containing the
metals. but the fabric in front of the
negative.
The professor is already using his dis
covery to photograph broken limbs and
bullets in human bodies

SOM thing He Told the State Swine Breed
This Morning.
The attendance at the State Swine
Breeders association meeting was not
much increased today and the only thing
that marred the otherwise peaceful as
pect of the meeting was the resolution
introduced by T. A. Hubbard, of Rome,
when he insisted that the score card be
revised.
''As the score card of this association
now stands" said Mr. Hubbard, sit is en-
tirely inadequate to the requirements of
our herds. 1t has only room for one
hundred points. All this was very well
a few years ago, but I was looking over
my improved herd one day last week,
and began counting points. 1t is an
honest fact that some of my hogs scored
as high as 12S."
