try Nearly 400 mechanics are en-
ployed and the pay roll aggregates
about $3.50 900 per annum.
The works are complete in every re-
spect and capacitated to build six loco
motives a month and to turn out pas
senger and freight cars. Under the
MANAGEMENT of G.. A. Hancock, super
intendent of machinery, the shops have
turned out an immense amount of re-

buffalo. An attempt to make it a fer
tile country has proven a failure, and
it is now reverting to its original con-

the field formerly used by the buffalo
In eastern Colorado, where they irri-

those in Nebraska or western Iowa.
THE stirring up that the eastern pa
pers have given Kansas is berefitting
the state by opening the eyes of the
people to their condition and showing
them what the outside world thinks of
them. There are enough people in
Kansas who desire to do the right
thing. The Populists have control of
the government, but this is expected by
many to make them more conservative.
In the past six years Kansas has paid
$75 coo, 900 on mortgages, $50, 000 600 of

state, and S25, 900 was taken by par
ties in the state, showing that they have
some money and believe in their state. -

tenor of Governor Leedy'S message on
railroad subjects.

THE PURE FOOD BILL.
Representative Mccormick Will Urge
Action on It This Session.

Washington. Jan. 10. = Representative
Mccormick of New York, who introduced
the pure food bill for the District of Col
umbia in the house last week, said yes
terday that he proposes to urge the house
district committee to act upon it this
session.
THE bill was prepared with a great deal
of care" said Mr.. Mccormick to a re-
porter land passed through several criti-
cal examinations by competent persons
before I introduced it. number
of prominent physicians of the city as
sisted in the preparation of the bill, and
therefore the formulas prescribing pure
food and drugs contained in the bill ca>i
be relied upon I have already lodged
request with the house district committee
for a hearing upon the bill, and will en-
deavor to make arrangements with Chair
man Babcock at once to set apart a time
when his committee will give audience to
the persons who are anxious for its pas
sage. 1 am convinced that there has been
a great deal of adulterated food sold in
this city, and the people are exposed to
the danger of being imposed upon by pre-
parations that are harmful.
Legislation of the kind proposed by
this bill is undoubtedly necessary, and
think it Will be welcomed by everyone.
The bill has already been introduced in
the senate also by Senator Hawley. who
has assured of his hearty cooperation
in the effort to have the bill enacted into
law. When 1 handed him the bill he said
he had practical experience with impure
food and would be glad to see law OF
this kind passed.

DICKENS Oh cURIos1rY sHop.

to be the same building in which lived
Little Nell and in which her GRANDPA
Their, the old curiosity dealer, carried on
his business.
Like several other buildings which
have been famous as Dickens houses,
there is a difference of opinion as to the
value of the claims made for this par
ticular structure. but the weight of evil
dence seems to be in its favor. No trust
worthy clew is given in the novel itself
as to exactly which building Dickens
had in mind when he described the
house to which Little Nell led him. He
does not even mention the quarter of the
city in which he was walking when he
met her, but Portsmouth street was
known to have been one of his fav orite
haunts, and from other details which
seem to prove the case conclusively this
particular old building was selected as
being the original "Old Curiosity Shop.
AS such it has been accepted and for
many years has been the Mecca of en-
thusiastic lovers of Dickens works.
One day about IS years ago the old
street was crowded with people, all
highly indignant and talking to each
other in loud tones. Investigation
proved that rumor had been circulated
to the effect that the house reputed to
have been the home of Little Nell was
about to be destroyed by order of the
authorities. The report proved to be
false alarm, as the board of works had
only ordered the building shored up to
guard against any danger of its collaps
ing. This time, though, it is to be de-
mollshed. The quaint old house is be-
heved to have once been part of the
dairy house of the beautiful Duchess of
Portsmouth, the baby faced charmer of
Charles II. 1t was in her honor that the
name OF the street was changed from
touches to Portsmouth.

ECONOMY THE SENTIMENT.
Ex-Governor Lewelling Says the Leg
islature Will Save Money.

Senators who have introduced bills
in the senate asking the legislature to
make appropriations for different pur-
poses may expect the amounts fixed in
their bills to be materially cut down
when they come before the committee
on ways and means.
Ex-Governor Lewelling is chairman
of this committee and he believes that
the general sentiment of the legislature
leans towards economy and means to
respect it.
You can state" said he, that ap-
propriatiOns will not be recommended
by the committee to exceed the amount
now in the hands of the state treasurer.
In past legisla lures this has been done,
but it will not be done by the legisla-
ture of 1897.
THE sentiment of this legislature is
for economy, and believe that the ma
jority of the appropriations will be re-
duced by the committee

near having serious accident here last
night.
A tramp got on at Dawson and I'M

covered they wouldn't work. A freight
train on the Ohio Valley was switching
at the crossing and the crew saw the
Illinois Central was uncontrollable,
and just did get their train off in time
The Illinois Central train ran about
mile before it could be stopped.
