ceived $7,02S09 while treasurer, which he
did not account for. The defendant is quoted

Santa Fe Road Will Improve
Its Western Track
In Arizona, New MexicOand Cal
ifOrnia the Coming Year.
TO SPEND A MILLION
Cannot Make Schedule Time on
Present Roadbed.
How a Railroad Man Worked
His Way Up.

It is authoritatively stated in this
city today that the Santa F'e Railway
company viii spend one million dollars
in the Improvement of its track in New
Mexico. Arizona and California during
the coming year.
The Improvement will consist of the
laying of new So pound steel rail. and
the construction of substantial iron and
masonry bridges to replace the present
wooden structures.
During the past two years of Presi-
dent Ripley,s management the improve
ment of the Santa Fe rOadbed has been
confined almost exclusively to the ter
ritOry east of Ration, New Mexico. over
one million and Il half of money was
expended in Improvements by the COM
pany last year and the majority of this
amount was placed in the track The
roadbed of the Chicago and Kansas di-
visions is now in excellent shape, and
the attention of the company next year
viii be turned to its tracks in the west.
An especial reason for improving the
roadbed in New Mexico, Arizona and
California is the fact that on the pres
ent track it is impossible for the Santa
Fe through trains to make the desired
time West of Ration, New Mexico, the
running time of the trains, with an al
lowance made for the mountainous
country, does not compare with the
time made on the eastern portion of
the system.
of the trains will be materially in
creased, and the schedule of the through
California trains made several hours

in her brother rooms, which are locat-

ity of the favOrite Christmas decOra-
ton and the fact that punches of mis-
tletoe will not grace the homes Of the
railroad men in Topeka and elsewhere
has caused many of the younger men
to wonder where their excuse for Os-
culation is.
Some do not need an excuse, others
not so fortunate do. The reason that
some will not have an excuse is small
pox Some might say that kissing and
smallpox are not to be mentioned in
the same breath. Some who have Civ
en- the matter profound thought say
that the germs of smallpox are to be
found in a kiss. No one has deSigna-
ted the part of the anatomy of a kiss
that contains the germ but it is there.
Most of the mistletoe that comes to the
IOpeka railroad men is sent by en-

A REMARKABLE CAREER.
How a Railroad Man Worked His
WAY Up.

Kansas newspapers often speak of
Mr. NJ. A Low, general attorney OF the
Rock Island as a fit man for United
States senator. Papers outside of the
state. as well as public men who are
familiar with Mr.. Lows executive ab1l-
ity, frequently ask the question, why
don't Kansas send NJ. A. Low to the
United States senator"
In the first place, if the United States
senatorship was rendered Mr.. Low on
d golden platter he would not accept it.
He has no ambition in the direction of
office holding, and his advice to young
men is to keep out of politics and de
vote their energies to some given line
of business or profession. Mr. Low is
entirely competent to advise young
men, for his life and record is an ex-
ample that might be emulated with
profit From a meager law practice
beginning in Caldwell county, Mo, %
years ago, NJ. A. Low has worked his
way up to the head of the legal depart
ment of one of the strongest railway
corporations in the country. 1t was
merit, and not powerful Influences
which gave him his start.
When NJ. A. Low located at Hamil-
ton, Mo. he found that town an unpro-
fitable field for the practice of law, SO
improbable in fact that he looked
about him for some other business at
which he might turn an honest dollar.
He bought a newspaper, the Hamilton
News, and successfully published the
best paper in the county. He knew the
value of a steer. or a car load of cattle,
and when he could make a deal with
profit in it for Low, he would buy and
ship to market.
In the '70's Mr.. Low went to the
Rock Island. His first connection with
the company was as a local attorney.
forming a partnership with Judges
Shanklin and McDougal at Gallatin.
Soon this firm of lawyers became the
attorneys for the old Southwestern
branch Of the Rock Island, running be-
tween Davenport and LeavenwOrth, and
moved to Trenton, a division point on
the line
When the Rock Island company de
cided to build into and through Kan
sas, Mr.. Low was selected to go ahead
and pioneer the line. His master mind
directed in the location and right of
way, in the securing of aid, the laying
out of towns along the rOute-in fact
the laying of the foundation for the
splendid railroad system the Rock Is
land company operates through Kan
SaS tOday-a monument to Mr.. Low s
rare executive ability, as we'll as part
of the great commercial heart of Kan
sas which spans the link between her
graneries and the markets.
Mr.. Lows tastes do not run in the di-
rectiOn of politics or offfce-hOlding. He
is devoted to his profession. He has
made n study of rates and is just as
familiar with that branch of the rail-
road business as he is with his work
in the legal department. He is salts
fed to pursue this work. Office-hOld-
ing has no charm for him, Favorable
mention for United States senator or
any other office to the contrary not
Withstandfng.
