RESPECT FOR SUNDAY.
All Railroad Men Are More Careful
With Work on That Day.

Did you know that the inherent re-
spect men have for the Sabbath day
has something to do with railroads al
ways inaugurating a change of time on
Sunday?" asked a prominent Santa Fe
official yesterday. well, it has, and the
new time cards are not put into effect
on Sundays. altogether because on that
day there are fewer trains running on
the road.
There is some kind of a feeling, call it
superstition if you want to, among
railroad men which causes them to be
more careful with instructions and in
details on Sunday than any other day
in the week. No matter if the men
haven't seen the inside of a church for
years, if they have been in railroad
service for any length of time you viii
find them giving the closest attention
to their work on Sunday. That such
feeling exists among railroad men is
borne out by the fact that railroad
records show fewer accidents on Sun
day than on any other day of the week.
It is one of the peculiar traits of men
in railroad service -

TO TEST THE LAW.
7. 2. Campbell of Wichita Sues the

7. 2. CampbeII of Wichita Sues the
Santa Fs for transportation
Wichita, Dec 11-Last March Mr.. I.
P. Campbell shipped car load of cat
tie to Kansas City from Attica, Kan
This was only a very few weeks after
the Kansas legislature had adjourned
This body while in session passed a law
compelling all the railroads in the state
to issue return transportation to the
shippers.
Mr.. Campbell asked for his return
transportation which was allowed him
under the law only at that time recent
" passed. The AtchisOn, Topeka &
Santa F'a Railroad company, over which
the stock was shipped, refused to give
him a pass or ticket to return home
on. He brought suit asking for the
money expended for Il ticket to Attica
from Kansas City and attorneys fees
The case was up for argument yester-
day afternoon before Judge Dale Mr.
Campbell appeared in his own behalf
and Mr.. F. w. Bentley represented the
railroad company.
Mr.. Bentley did not make much of a
fight about paying the fare to Attica
from Kansas City but he made a vigOr-
Gus contest in regard to allowing the
attorneys fee
Judge Dale took the matter under ad-
visement and viii in all probability
hand down a written decision the early
part of next week.

THE NEW LIGHT.
a Pullman Agent Looking Over San
ia Fe Cars for Pointers.

Tt is probable that the Pullman Car
company viii adopt the 'taxle electric
light for their sleeping cars.
A representative of the Pullman COM
pany has been watching the workings
of the new light with a view of report
ing the result of his observations to the
company. The representative has been
over the Santa Fe line and has spent no
little time in Denver, and has taken
careful note of the appearance of the
machinery at that point after the run
from Chica go.
The observations have shown the
generator to be in good condition and
the light as strong as could be asked
for. Cars that have been fitted with
the new light have not been deprived
of the old oil lamps, but this does not
prove the inefficiency of the electric
system, as few buildings are equipped
with only electric light.
If the Pullman company should adopt
the light. it will be done after the mat
ter has been tried by the Santa Fe. No
other road in the country is equipped
with the new light, although several
roads have experimental with it. That
the large eastern roads and companies
should pattern after a western road is
but another point to prove that the
west and western men are responsible
for the greatest progress and improve
ments in railroad building and equip
ment.

A few days ago a Santa F'e brake

well known along the road, ,attired him
self in his best clothes and made his
way to the house of his girl He rang

Was she home?" Yes, she was at

into the comfortable parlor. where he
sat down to await her coming.
Presently she appeared, dressed in
one Of those home gowns that will
make anybody wish he could see the
wearer making bread just to see if
she could look any sweeter with her
sleeves rolled up
The conversation at first was of the
everyday order, and of course the
young lady thought the light was too
high and she turned 1t down. She
thought several times that it was too
high, and when the last thought struck
her. there was little LETT to turn out.
Everything was lovely until the
brakeman, who was oblivious to the
world. heard: Freight west-immedi-
ately."
He saw the call boys lantern as he
opened the door, and he jumped up,
dOnned his Overcoat and started for
home He got himself into his train
clothes and started for the depot. He
waited for the train, but it did not
come. He waited, and finally returned
to his home to find out next day from

she had dressed up in her brothers 5

A VET WITH A GUN
Causes a Stampede in a Kansas Raj
road Dining Room.

On the west bound passenger train
on the Rock Island, running out Of
Hutchinson. one morning last week,
was an odd looking couple. They We're
old, and the blue blouse and brass
buttons worn by the man told the story
of his service in the war. The couple
was going to the Soldiers Home at
Dodge City.
One station before Turon the brake
man went through the train to find out
how many wished breakfast The brake
man came up to the old man:
''IIoW much IS it," asked the man.
FIFTY cents" replied the brakeman
No; that is too much" said the old
man.
When the train arrived at Turon the
crew and passengers were REINFORCED
in the dining room by the crew from
another train that had just pulled in.
When the occupants of the two trains
had filed into the dining room, every
seat was taken. and the good things
that Mother Brown always serves,
commenced TO disappear, and the merry
clink of the knives and forks was
enough to make a hungry person fran
tic.
Just as the people We're about to rise
from the tables, the door opened, and
in walked the old man and his wife.
The old man had powder horn sIung
across his shoulder ard in his right
hand he carried an old Springfield mus
ket. He brought the butt of the mus
ket down on the floor with a resound-
ing thud.
We want some coffee, and that is all
We want: and we have money to pay
for it," shouted the survivor of many
battles as if somebody might object.
The entire dining room full of peo-
PIE only partially understood what the
old man said, and, seeing the gun, sup
posed that a hold up was about to BE-
inaugurated.
Conductor Burnett and Charley Sloan
were the first ones to seek refuge by
sliding under the table and getting be
hind anything that would stop a bull
let. The rest of the company followed

GAVE LAND FOR 4 PASS,
But the Railroad Failed to Live Up

Ell Dorado, Dec IA number of
years ago Clay Henry OF Butler coun-

Pacific railroad in consideration of a
pass for himself and wife for life. The
pass was honored for year or so and
then called in.
Mr.. Henry sued and secured a judg-
ment which gave the railroad the op-
tion of renewing the pass or paying
damages.
Appeal was taken to the appellate
court, where this judgment was revers-
ed to the extent of sending the case
back to the district court for a new
trial. At Ell Dorado this week Mr.. Hen
ry again secured judgment for the
pass.

Santa Fe to Make Fast Time

OTHER ROADS OBJECT.
Their Longer Routes Make it
Impossible to Compete.
Correct Santa Fe Time Card in
Effect Tomorrow.

The new time card which goes into
effect on the Santa Fe tomorrow re-
duces the running time OF California
trains 1 and . between Kansas City
Chicago to Is hours. The present run
ming time is IA and one-half hours. The
other Chicago Kansas City lines are
said to be looking with anxiety and DIS
favor on the reduction in time, as the
Santa Fe has the shortest line between
the two cities, and possibly it may re-
suit in Q rate war.
1t will be impossible for some of the
Chicago Kansas City lines to reduce
their running time to 13 hours because
of their length of route.
