with a dangerous case of la grippe the
last week. and at this writing is slowly
improving.
John Ross, a Central Branch engi-
neer, who has been out on the division
with the pile driver for the last six
weeks, has again resumed his regular
run on the middle division between
Greenleaf and Downs.
There has been some talk in railroad
quarters of rebuilding and enlarging
our depot. making a portion of it two
story and finishing it off with rooms
to be used in connection with the Pome-
roy hotel, the Central Branch eating
house.
shorty Mckenzie, conductor of the
local freight between Greenleaf and
Atchison, has saved enough from his
earnings to- keep him from getting wet
on a rainy day. He has a fine house
and a 240 acre farm about five miles
from here, where he makes it his home
There is no longer any inducement for
Engineer D. D. Fairchild running the
mixed train between Greenleaf and
Downs, to lay over here. He is always
anxious to double back to Downs soon
as his engine arrives from the west.

The "Katy" Puts the Gate Sys.
tenn Into Effect
Change is Hailed With Pleasure
By Conductors.
WILL. BE A SUCCESS.
FOrty-FOur Locomotives Are
Shipped to Japan.
Officials Invited to Extend the
Mexican Central.

Parsons, Feb. 16.-"The gate system
which was inaugurated on the M, K &
T. railroad yesterday, is new depart
ure on western roads, outside of the
larger cities, and will, in time, prove
great protection to the patrons of the
company" said Superintendent WEIGH
in conversation with a reporter.
1.-THE public at large have a wrong
impression of the gate system. They
think it is simply an indirect check
against passenger conductors when, in
reality, it is solely for the better pro-
lection of passengers, and viii result
in the prevention of many accidents
which have occurred in the past and
for which the company has paid out
many thousands of dollars in damages.
Under the gate system continued Su-
perintendent Welch, "a passenger is
sure of boarding the right train, where
as under the old way, many people
have taken wrong trains at this and
other divisional points, thus entailing
extra labor and annoyance to both COM
pany and passengers. The change will
be hailed with delight by conductors,
each and all of whom has had his share
of grief with passengers without tick
cts and also with passengers with tick
cts for other trains
Under the new system" said Super
intendent WEIGH, passenger conductors
will not be called upon to debate the
question as to- whether or not some lady
passenger with IA year old child shall
pay half or full fare, for the gate keep
er settles this question, and once beyond
the gate the conductors mind as to a
scene on the train will be at rest. The
gate system wherever tried has proven
a great success, and as the Katy is
strictly in the line of progression there
is no reason why it should not prove
successful on this system"

Gov Sadler had signed the measure.
Il found the sentiment in Nevada most
liberal" he said. "It had been definitely
settled by MT Stuart that the Fitz-
sInmons-Curbett battle will take place
tn the Sage Brush State. I have located
quarters for both me n in the vicinity of Car

ing the month OF March is invariably mild
and favorable for outdoor work.
THE contest will be held in the city

1t is likely that all the principals con-
cerned viii soon be on the ground
Mr. Wheelock further said that IN all
probability there Will he one otl er contest

be that an effort will be made 10 have the
sailor meet Mahcr We hear that Sharkey
Is not looking for a fight, but il has been
frequently said that be bars nobody, and I
hardly see how he can refuse a chance OF
this kind. Anyhow, il he does not think
well Oft. we will find some one else.

unued WheClOck. The intention is 10 have
