would have read the handwriting on the

A Tricky MoOnshiner Who Once Escaped

the Law by Clever Trick.
For three years Rufus Wilson, Haral-

the laws of his government, but at last the
long arm of justice has reached out and
caught him in its grasp. Rufus is an in
teresting character with more interesting
career.
Three years ago he was caught at dis
tillery by some revenue men. Rufus told
the officers that he didn't like to come
down to Atlanta dressed in his everyday
clothes.
ATLANTA is fine old town" said he,
"and l want to look kinder dressed up
when l go down" He asked permission
to go into his house and change his clothes,
and the unsuspecting revenue men readily
granted the not unusual request
Rufus went into his room, and after a
time the officers began to grow uneasy.
They finally investigated and learned to
their chagrin that the willy mOOnshiner
had given them the slip.
Deputy Marshal Dakes of Atlanta got
wind of his return not long ago and at
once set to work to trap him. One day re-
Gently he went to the home of Wilson, and
while the mOonshiner was resting securely
beneath bis own vine and fig tree the

He is convinced that by care and steady

that neglect-allowing them to sink into

AS scouts the Indians have been valu.
able auxilaries to the government from
the first war in this country to the last.
Their struggling fashion of performing
military duty where the scout is his own
commander is an advantage, like their
own secretive and strategic methods of
warfare, rendering them invaluable to an
army fighting hostile Indians on their own
territory. Unerring marksmen, they
shoot to kill, and, inured to hardship can
live on the widest and poorest food, but
trammeled with modern methods of war
fare they are practically useless. So the

ALONG A BRIDGE RAIL.
Daring Feat of a Foolhardy WheeIwoman
In Kansas City.


Ever since Joe Henley made his periIous
sprint across the ties of the Milwaukee
bridge on the bare rims of his bicycle a
number of ambitious cyclists of Kansas
City have professed a willingness to equal
the performance. But until 7, comfy none
of them had gone further than 70 ride out
and view the bridge. Now, however, a
woman, Dora Dewitt, has equalcd Hen
ley's feat and has gone Kim one better, for
she rode along on the outside of the rail of
the bridge across the Missouri in a space
only Is inches wide. 1t was a hair raising
performance and one that is not likely to
be equaled soon.
Miss Dewitt rode light racer The tires
had been removed, leaving only the bare
rims to ride on. She started at a fast clip,
knowing that in no other way could she
get across. A single mishap would have
hurled her into the Missouri river, 80 feet
below. Once, near the center of the bridge,
she swerved slightly, and for a few feet
the wheel rushed along within an inch of
the edge of the ties, but the girl was cool,
and in a moment she was in control of
her wheel and finished the trip without
further danger. The greatest peril was in
the depressiOns feet wide which exist at
regular intervals from one end of the
bridge to the other. But she crossed all of
these firmly, though the shock each time
seemed as if it would throw her from the
wheel. At the close Miss Dewitts arms
were so numb that she could not lift them.
Several well known wbeelmcn witnessed
the feat.-St. L1ljs Globe Democrat

CALLED FROM THE WEST.
Railroad Men Who Have Gone to
Eastern Lines.

Cincinnati June S.-"Does the west
develop better railway men than the
east? Are the men who get their school
ing in traffic and the operation OF rail
ways in the west graduates OF bright
er, better school?
These questions have often occurred
to me-" said John Henry Martin.
Twenty or more years ago, when the
Pennsylvania Railroad company was
called upon to select man to place at
the head of the passenger department,
the choice fell upon Jas. r. Wood, who
had worked himself to the head of the
passenger department of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railway. When
the West Shore was finished, and ready
for business between New York and
Buffalo, Henry MOnett, a young man
who had received his training at Col
umbus, O., with the Panhandle diVis-
ion of the Pennsylvania railroad, was
selected to direct the passenger affairs
the Lake Shore q Michigan Central
railway, was formerly St. Louis rail
way official with the Indianapolis & st.
Louis railway.
years ago the Delaware & Hudson
Canal company called Daniel kendrick
from q St. Louis railroad to direct the
passenger affairs of this old and relia-
bic transportation system.
wv. G. RinearsOn, a western railway
man, was another who was called east
ward to assume the direction of the
passenger service of the Erie railway.
" Twas only a few years ago the Lee
high Valley railway, when in need of a
general passenger agent, found c 6
Lee. who was then booming a scenic
route in the Rocky mountains, and he
was brought eastward and made gen
eral passenger agent of the road.
"a. H. Hanson, general passenger
agent of the Boston & Albany railroad
received his schooling upon the Illinois
Central.
George w. Boyd, the assistant of J.
r. Wood, of the Pennsylvania, also
came from the west w w. Lord Jr,
assistant eastern passenger agent of the
Pennsylvania railway n New York
city, is also a western product.
Years ago the Baltimore & Ohio
called Charles K. Lord eastward from
the st. Louis, Kansas 81 Northern rail-
road, and placed him at the head of its
passenger department. When he was
promoted, Charles u Scull another
graduate of railway school west OF
the AlleganieS, was calle Z eastward to
fill the position vacated by Mr. Lord
And now, within the last few months
the Baltimore & Ohio has again come
west of the mountains for a man to
place at the head of the passenger de-
department. B. B. Martin, a graduate
of the old Bee Line, and later general
ticket and passenger agent of the Big
Four, has been made passen-
ger traffic manager.
"A. B. FarnswOrth, general agent in
New York city of the Seaboard Air
Line, is yet another western transplant.
passenger man has placed the Chesa-
peake & Ohio road in the front rank as
desirable route upon which to travel
between the east and west is another
western man who has succeeded in the
east"

KANSAS ANTITRUST LAW.
It Stands in the Way of the Whole
sale Grocers' Association.

The Parkhurst, Davis Grocery COM
pany of this city stands in the way of the
reorganization of the Kansas Wholesale
Grocers' association and the management
of that concern announces that under no
circumstances will they change their po-
sition in this matter.
The legislature of 1897 passed a stringent
antitrust measure. Immediately after
the law was approved by the governor
and published the Topeka company can
celled all their contracts which the man
agement construed to be in violation OF
the law and Immediately withdrew from
the grocers' combine.
This action destroyed the combine and
caused a drop of from to 100 per cent in
commodities which are handled by the
company.
This condition has not been encourage
ing or pleasing to the wholesale grocers
and they are now making a strong effort,
headed by the Kansas City people to re-
instate the combine. Parkhurst and
Davis declare that they will not go into
the deal again but the manipulators OF
the proposed trust hope to induce the
company managers to change their minds.
They will not do this at this time

EIGHT ENGINES ORDERED.
Santa Fe After Some Mountain Climb
ers-Wi1 Try One for the Worlds
Record.

The Santa F'e company has placed an
order for eight ten-wheel passenger en-
gines with the Dickson locomotive
works of Oswego, N. Y, to be built es-
pecially for hauling heavy trains at a
greater rate of speed than the ordinary
ten-wheel engine.
The first Of the new engines will be
sent west early in August and the re-
naming seven will be completed inside
of two months from that time.
The new engines will be placed in
service on the western and New Mex1-
can divisions of the Santa Fe, where
heavy engines are needed on account
of the mountain grades. In their con-
structiOn it is hoped to put together To-
comotives which, although of ponder
Gus weight and adapted to mountain
climbing. can yet attain a. remarkably
fast rate of speed. The engines will
badly be used exclusively in hand
ling the through California trains.
With one of the new engines General
superintendent Nudge viii probably
next fall attempt to break the world
record for fast running on the stretch
of track from La Junta to Dodge City.

PETER Is SATISFIED.
Denies in an Emphatic Way That He
is Candidate for Governor.

Ex-senator PETER denies that he is a
candidate for governor. He insists
that all the honor he wants consists
in being let alone. Mr.. PETERS princi-
pal editorial in the Advocate this week
says:
1.-The newspaper gossips have kind
ly taken charge of the political fortunes
of ex-senator PETER. Without consult
ing him either as to his wishes or con-
venience, and without knowing more
about his plans for the future than do
any other mOrta1s, they have nominal
ed him a candidate for governor of
Kansas and have assured the reading
public that he is even now in close
communication with friends, arranging
combinations and negotiating deals in
furtherance of his political ambition.
This stuff is as false as it is foolish
and offensive. Mr.. PETER is not a can
didate for governor nor for any other
public position. He was once hOnored
by his party with a seat in the senate
of the United States. That is a dis
tinguished honor; he appreciates it and
is satisfied.
He is now engaged in a congenia1
and useful private business and re-
specially asks to be let alone. He
wants to build a good newspaper for
Kansas Populists and to make of the
Advocate a clean, broad gauged, reliable
and progressive journal of the time"

SANTA FE SHOP PICNIC.
To be Held at Washington Park, Kan

Trip SO Cents

The annual picnic of the Santa Fe
shop employees of this city will this
year be held at Washington Park, Kan

After considering propositions from
the managers of Maple Park, Leaven-
worth, and washington Park, Kansas
June 10 and 26, the committee appoint
ed to arrange the picnic last night de-
cided on the latter place and the former
date.
The fair for the round trip to employ
ees of the shops and their families will
be SO cents, and it is expected that three
special trains, averaging ten cars each,
will be needed in carrying the en-
ployees from Topeka to Kansas City
and return.
Unusual inducements in the way of
prizes have been offered by the man
agement of Washington Park, and the
picnic this year promises to be one of
the most successful ever held by the
shop employees of Topeka.
