of raising funds for displays. It has
been suggested that plan which will
work no hardship to any of the en-
plOyeS is to allow each man the OppOr-
tunity of contributing an amount equal
to his hospital fees-on the same basis
the amount in proportion to the sal
airy. 1 think this is the way to go
about raising funds, and let the contri-
buttons be made in the two months of
August and September The plan was
started at the general offices some time
ago and the July installments have al
ready been collected.
Mr.. Healy-There will be considerable
correspondence and we will need sta
tionery. There will also be expense in
sending out invitations.
Mr.. KOuns-In the matter of station
cry, would suggest that the Fall Fes-
tival stationery with the names of the
executive committee below the heading
be used.
Mr.. ]. F. Mitchell-we will need sta
tionery at once, and I move that the
secretary be instructed to procure a
suitable supply.
The motion carried and Mr.. Healy
will look after the stationery
Mr.. Garvey-In reference TO raising
funds for the celebration in the other
departments aside from the general Of
fees, 1 would suggest that it be recon-
mended that the plan adopted at the
general offices of each man contribut-
August and September be adopted in
all of the other departments.
This recommendation carried unanl-
mously, and in the shop, engine, train
and yard service of the road in Topeka
contributions equal to the hospital fees
will be asked from all of the employees
willing to aid in the celebration. This
will not be compulsory, and those who
cannot spare it will not be pressed.
Mr.. Jas. ThomaS-I wish to say that
this committee must not expect the en-
ployes of the engine and train service
to aid in the celebration to any extent
in point of numbers. All train and en-
the time of the festival. AS far
funds are concerned, the employees in
these branches of the service can be
looked upon for as much assistance as
those of any other of the branches but
for a showing in the parade we will
have to look to our shop friends. 1
think that a mass meeting of the en-
gine and train employees will be called
at an early date to discuss the calebra-
ticn and see just what we can do.
Every man will do his share as far as
contributions are concerned.
Mr.. A. M. Baird-I want to say that
the Santa Fe celebration will put the
Labor day demonstration of last year,
big that was, completely in the
shade. 1 think we will have one of the
finest displays ever made in the west,
and the demonStra ton will be a credit
to Kansas. We are talking over plans
at the shops in this city now, and every
man is enthusiastic over the celebra-
ton.
The shops here will have 1S floats in
the parade, and all will be completed
by the opening of the festival.
The next meeting of the executive
committee will be held next Wednesday
evening at o'clock.

The Pigeon Found at TrOmsOe
Is Not His.
THERE ARE OTHERS.
Thirty of Andree's Pigeons
Escaped Last Winter
And They Are Likely to Confuse
Matters Greatly.

London, July 23.-A dispatch from Co
penhagen says that the report of the
capture of a carrier pigeon in the vicin-
ity of Tromsoe island, near the north
point of Norway, stamped with the
words and figures, North pole passed
15' is not true.
Berlin, July 23.-The Hamburgische
correspondent says that a thousand
birds belonging to various pigeon fly
ing societies were released on the 18th
instant at a place about $50 kilometers
northwest of Heligoland. Each pigeon
had an aluminium ring on it's leg in
scribed with a number or a letter to
indicate the year of it's acquisition.
1T is believed says the Hamburg

found in the neighborhood of Soevde,

MAY CALL OUTKANSAS
Orders From Ratchford Expected at
Eittsburg Tom orrow.

Kansas City, July 23.-T. B. McGregor of
Pittsburg, Kan, national organizer of the
knights of Labor and president of the
United Mine Workers for Missouri and
Kansas, said in an interview today:
"Ratchford will order the western coal
miners to come out, I'm sure of it, but
they'll never do it if I can help it. I'll
lose my official head in this fight before
they do"
McGregor recently returned from Co.
lumbus, O., where he had been in consul
tation with President Ratchford of the
United Mine Workers. ''It is my firm con-
viction,' continued Mr.. McGregor, that
the best thing to do is to let the western
miners continue at work and ask them to
contribute 25 cents a week to the eastern
men, who are out. But that is not Ratch-
fords idea. 1 know just as wei as if
had received my instructions what they
will be. They will 'beato call the western
miners out at the Saturdays convention
at Pittsburg, KAN
Mr.. McGregor gives several reasons why
in his mind, the western men should not
go out now. In company with William
Crawford of Springfield, Ind, and J. w.
Wilson of Virginia, both members of the
executive council of the United Mine
Workers of America. McGregor will at
tend the Pittsburg, Kan, convention to-
morrow.

AT WELLINGTON.
Railroad Men at That Point are
Aroused on the Subject.

The big Santa Fe celebration to be
held at Topeka this fall is attracting
much attention in railroad circles An
interest is awakening among the rail-
road men here-Wellington Daily Mail.
At all points along the Santa Fe
where there is a considerable number of
railroad employees, the local papers
would do we'll to republish the news
about the Santa Fe celebration that
appears in the State Journal.
This will give authentic information
to the railroad subscribers of those
papers, of whom we suppose they have
a large number. The Santa Fe ce1ebra-
tion is largely intended as an adver-
tisement of the resources of Kansas
and is going to help the whole state.
1t is really undertaking a part of the
work that the Million club was organ
lied for two or three years ago; name
ly, to boom the state-as we'll as glori
fly the Santa Fe railroad so it is a mat
ter of interest to every town along the
Santa Fe. 1t is understood, although
for obvious reasons, not publicly an
nOunced, that the company itself pro-
poses to spend $4,000 on the celebra-
ton in addition to the voluntary con-
tributionS of employees.

MUTTERINGs OF MOB LAW.
Black Looks at George R. Worth
When Brought Into Court.

The officers in Justice Chesney's court
were greatly excited today over what
they feared would be an attempt to-
lynch George r. Worth, the supposed
outrager of the 11-year-old daughter of
Engineer Holloway of the Santa Fe.
Worth was to have his preliminary
hearing today. Long before the hour
fixed for the hearing men began to
gather in. the Justices office Before
the time arrived there were $50 men
there, nearly all employees of the Santa
Fe shops. They said but little. When
they did talk it was in subdued tones.
The force at the sheriff's office knew
nothing of the crowd. A few minutes
before 10 o'clock Deputy Sheehan took
Worth from his cell in the county jail
and started for the court room. He
deputy and his prisoner reached the
corridor leading to the office of the JUS
tice he found it crowded with men. 1t
was too late then to turn back. The
men opened a way and the officer and
his prisoner passed through No one
said a word. In the court room the
same thing occurred. The room was
crowded to suffocation, but no one at
tempted to interfere with the officers.
The case was called and a request
was made for continuance, which was
granted. Before the men in the room
realized what was being done, Consta-
BILE Charles Price and Detective o. NJ.
Capron hurried the prisoner from the
room and he was taken from the build
ing by the back way. The men did
not follow.
There was a meeting of Santa Fe
shopmen yesterday, when the Worth
case was discussed. There were few
who advocated lynching, but sober
counsel prevailed and the men voted to
allow the law to take it's course.
The Sheriff'S force is not relieved
from anxiety. Worth has once been
smuggled out of Jail in disguise, but
there has never been any demonstra-
tion at the county Jail. If Worth is
guilty he should be given the full pen
atty of the law; but his guilt should be
fully established.

WARNINGS DON'T STOP EN-.
Many New Yorkers Arranging to Go
to the Klcndyke.

New York. July 23.-The World says:
The Klondyke fever has not abated a
particle. The officers of the railroad COM
panies and ticket agencies are visited by
adventurous spirits. eager to seek their
fortune in the Alaskan gold fields.
From information obtained by World
representatives these seriously consider
ing making the trip will do well to post
pone their dearture for some time.
Frederick Hobart, editor of the Engi-
neering and Mining Journal, said: 1T
would be extremely foolish for anyone to
start from New York for Klondyke at
this season, because they cannot get there
in time to do anything this year. 1t is
difficult, too, to get transportation. The
Alaskan lines are not prepared to carry
many passengers. 1t is easy enough to
engage steamers and get to the coast but
the difficulty is to get from the coast in
land. Much of the last portion of the
journey must be made on foot If you go
by the Juneau route, it is necessary to
walk over the mountains and then build
a boat. The Yukon river is only naviga-
BILE during about three months of the
year. 1t would be well for those who do
not know that country to learn more
about it before starting for the gold
felds.'
L. Allen, associate editor of the Engi>
neering Magazine, says: II have no
doubt there is lot of gold there. 1 know
of very few men who are preparing to
leave this city for the gold fields. 1t
would be folly for them to do so at this
time, anyway, as it is too late to accom-
plish anything this year"
Up to date 81 applications for transpor-
tation have been made at ticket agencies
here. But a very large majority of the
applicants do not propose starting for
several months.

National stockyards, just north of East
st. Louis and that if relief does not come
very soon they will have to close and let

NO SURPLUS PEOPLE
Is Given as the Reason That France
Does Not Colouize.

London, July 23.-The Times this morn
ing prints an account of a long interview
had by it's Paris correspondent with Sir
Wilfred Laurier. the Canadian premier in
which the latter said that during his stay
in Paris he had been struck by the signs
of enrnity displayed toward the English
probably due to the Egyptian question
and by the inactivity of the colonization
spirit of the French people. Colonization,
Sir Wilfred said, had presented great
difficulties to France, because the country
has no surplus population.

\ SUDDEN DEATH,
THE DISTRESSING END OF MRS.
 sILBERNAGLE's LIFE.
She was Enroute to Her Hons in Pine Bluff and Died in an
 Ambulance.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal of today Tuesday,, says Mrs. SiIbernagle, of Pine Bluff, Ark, died in this city last night under most distressing circumstances. She had been suffering rom the ef- fleets of grip for over two years, and had been to AsheviIle, N. C.. all summer for her health. Her uncle, Mr. Jacob Baker, of Pine Bluff, was with her, taking her home, as the physicians had told him she could not recover She hoped and prayed that she might reach home before the end came. Coming home on the same train was Mrs. Louis Kahn, and her sympathies were aroused for the suffering woman, and she iu- quired of Mr Baker where she lived. When he told her Pine Bluff, she re- membered that she had neice there, a Mrs. Miller, who was Miss Geatie Freiberg, of this city, and so told him. It turned out that Mrs. Miller was his neice, too, and q bond of kinship as well as sympathy was established. When the train neared Memphis yesterday morning Mir. Baker learned that he could not make connection, and would be com pelled to wait over until last even ing. Mrs. Kahn then invited Mrs. Silbernagle to stop at her home and rest during the day and the invita-. tion was accepted. Last night the invalid was taken to the Iron Monn- tain station in an ambulance. She remained in the conveyance while the porter was preparing her berth in the sleeper, and before the berth was ready she passed quietly away. The remains were taken to Pine Bluff this morning
