Mr.. Bristow is quite in love with his

Washington have been of the pleasant
est character in every particular. He
is, of course, delighted at the rising
price of wheat and corn and thinks the
future of the west very promising. He
has not yet relinquished his citizenship
in Kansas. His paper at ottawa is be-
ing managed under his supervision and
he says he has many large cribs of corn
out at his home in the western part of
the state that he piled up rather than
sell it for 10 cents under the Wilson bill.
He says it is for sale when healthy
protection price is esta blished for it.
THE east is an odd place for man
of western traits, he said. when one
is accustomed to seeing all of the land
fertile and miles and miles of it as far
as the eye can reach, it is a sudden
change to be put back in the east where
there are small fertile spots and many
barren hills. 1 am still a lover of the
wilds of the west, with it's prairies like
those seen in Kansas That's good
enough for me-"
General Bristow has changed about
one-third of the fourth class postmast-
ers in Kansas. He is giving that state
special attention. Possibly all will be
changed by the time he has been in Of

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.
Miserable Plight of a Young Girl
Who is Being shipped Around"

Bessie Coulton, a young girl from
Burlington, Kan, arrived in Topeka
Thursday evening and applied at the
police station for the police matron.
She found Mrs. Thorpe and told her
that she feared she was losing her
cause she heard that there were several
good specialists on nervous troubles.
The girl made a good appearance,
presented a note from City Marshal
Monroe of Lawrence stating that they
had helped her with transportation
from Lawrence to Topeka and she told
Mrs. Thorpe that her grandparents
lived two miles from Topeka. Mrs.
Thorpe took the girl to 1ngleside and
arranged for quarters for her until her
grandparents could be found or she
could be cared for in some way.
Chief Steele and Mrs. Thorpe made
an investigation and found that the
girls story about her grandparents liV-
ing within two miles of the city was
false.

Bessie Coulton to Mrs. Thorpe. II feel

led Mrs. Thorpe to think that perhaps
the girl really was becoming unbal-
himself beyond a doubt that the girls
story about her former movements was
not true. Police Matron Thorpe found
that the girl was afflicted with a loath-
some disease of alarming symptoms.
She was Immediately taken from Ingle-
side and put in the city Jail, where she
is now held. Chief Steele has sent
word to Burlington to her relatives and
soon a letter is received from

Santa Fe to Use the InterlOck-
ing System
At All Crossings Between Chi
cagO and Newton.
PREVENTS COLLISIONS
A Number of New Pullmans Be
ing Constructed For
Santa Fe's California Trains to
Go on in October.

The Santa Fe management has decid-
ed on an important move towards pro-
viding absolute safety in travelling over
its line. A system of interlocking at
all of the principal railroad crossings
along the line of the Santa Fe proper
will be inaugurated, towers will be
built where the interlocking devices are
put in, and tenders employed both for
night and day service. The interlock-
ing devices will be placed at the princi-
pal crossings between Chicago and New
ton at once. The system of interlock-
ing will effectually prevent collisions at
railroad crossings
It is probable that interlocking de-
vices will be placed at the Missouri Pa
cific and Union Pacific crossings in this
city. This move will mean an expend-
iture of several thousand dollars.

TWELVE NEW PULLMANS
Being Built for the Santa Fe Limited
New Time Card

When the winter time card is inau-
gurated on the Santa Fee, about the
middle of next October, the limited
train service between Chicago and Los
Angeles will be resumed. This mat
ter was practically settled when the
trains We're taken off in the spring, but
was formally decided upon at the meet
ing of the traffic officials in Chicago last
week.
From the time the winter card goes
into effect up to the first of the year
the trains will be run semi weekly, as
last year, leaving Chicago on Mondays
and Saturdays and passing through To-
peka the following days. After the
first of the year the trains will be run
tri-weekly, leaving Chicago on Mon
day, Wednesday and Saturday of each
week. The trains will leave Chicago
at o'clock in the evening and run to
Los Angeles in Y hours, the same time
as last year. Eastbound the trains
will be an hour faster making the trip
from Los Angeles to Chicago in IL
hours.
The Pullman company is now build
ing II new standard SleeperS, with dou-
bic drawing rooms and extension veSti-
buIes, especially for the Santa Fe linn
tied service. Each limited train will
consist of a regular equipment of two
Sleepers from Chicago and one from St.
Louis, a dining car and composite car,
and to this equipment extra cars will
be added as found necessary.
As has been the rule during the past
two years, no free transportation will
be honored on the limited trains.

THAT PER CENT CLAUSE
Which sSlipped" Into the Tariff Bill
is Productive of Important
Results

San Francisco. Aug. 2s.-Within the
brief period of ten days the stock of the
Oceanic Steamship company has risen
from $40 to $36 per share. 1t is generally
agreed that the present attitude of the
Pacific Steamship company in its not as
yet successful fight for Hawaiian char
tiers for some of its big ships is partly re-
sponsible for the big advance in the quo
tations of Oceanic stock, but the chief
cause is the 10 per cent discrimination
clause in the newly adopted tariff bill,
which, if enforced, will give the Oceanic
Steamship company a monopoly of the
trade between Honolulu and this port.
The 10 per cent clause places an extra
duty on all imports brought to this coun-
try in ships of foreign country having
no favored nation treaty with the United
States. If the Pacific Mail Steamship
company fails to secure Hawaiian reg
lister for it's China steamships. the Spreck-
els line will have practical monopoly of
the Hawaiian trade, even without the an
nexation of the islands.
