E. Lambert, W. c. Perry paid his re-
spects to the PopuIists by saying:
so far as am concerned, 1 would
rather see the Republicans in control of
state affairs any time than the Pops I
have no love whatever for the reform
outfit Everything they take hold of
is generally tainted in some way with
corruption before they turn loose of it.
There are some good men in the party,
but they will not stay there long
The Mack Love crowd of Democrats
are not Democrats, but Pops, pure and
simple. They are no longer Demo-
Gratis. When it comes to the state
campaign of 1898 they will be found in
the FopuIist column. in my judgment
Just what the old line Democrats of
Kansas will do I am not able to state
definitely said he. but it is my guess
that they will put out straight state
ticket. Such a ticket, headed by man
Of standing. would poll a big vote. and
would preserve the party organization
until the present heresies have passed
away and Democrats come back to the
party of their forefatherS. If no ticket
is placed in the field, the real Democr ats
will go fishing on election day.

Big Rush of Work at the Santa Fe
Shops-ReDairs Needed

It is probable that the increased
working time at the Santa Fe shops in
this city will continue up to the first
of the year at least. Mr.. Geo. W. Smith.
master mechanic of the eastern diyis-
ion, stated yesterday that with the
present prospect for traffic and conse-
quent work, it was his opinion that the
prosperity now being experienced by
the Santa Fe shop men in Topeka,
would continue until that time.
Il have no way of knowing. but be-
Heve that the heavy work will keep up
for several months" said Mr.. Smith.
Our work at present is the result of
the big wheat CROP continued Mr..
Smith, 'and we have the movement of
the big corn crop raised this year be
fore us. We found it necessary to in
crease the force in the car department,
and now both the car and locomotive
departments are rushed with work
From the locomotive department from
20 to 25 engines are repaired and turned
out every month, and taking the light
and heavy repairs together, I should
say that over 100 freight cars are turn
ed out of the car department daily.
Our present work IS the heaviest
since 1898, and probably as heavy as
the work any year since the shops were
established in Topeka

AMONG RAILROAD MEN.
How the Brown System Works
ON the Santa Fe.
First Bulletin Issued by Super
intendent Mcclellan.
Causes Shown Why the Employees
Are Suspended-ons Brakeman
Gets 10 Days for Sitting in
the Cupola Rather Than
Being Out on the Cars

In the circular announcing the inau-
guration of the Brown system of disci-
pIine among Santa Fe employees it was
stated that record bulletins illustrative
of the working of the system would be
posted from time TO time by division Of
hcfals. The first record bulletins of the
eastern division have been posted by
Superintendent Mcclellan, and give the
employees an idea of the manner in
which disciplining is conducted under
the system. They also serve to pre-
vent repetition of the offenses by
bringing cases Of neglect of duty or
violation of rules to the attention of the
employees.
The bulletins posted by Superintend-
ent Mcclellan read as follows:
Recently. while a section of a fast
freight was passing a station 1t was no
ticed that the rear brakeman was sit
ting in the cupola of the way car in
ing to his duties. For failing to COM
ply with this rule the brakeman was
given suspension of ten days
"A conductor recently moved a loaded
car in bond over the eastern division
that was not accompanied by a govern
ulent manifest For neglecting to COM
ply with time table rule the conductor
was given suspension of ten days
In one of our large yards recently a
switch tender gave the engineer of a
yard engine the signal that switch was

for signals, and the engineer ran through
a split switch which was set against
him This occurred after night at
point where the view was obstructed
and several switches close together, and
switch tender should have seen that
switch was all right before signalling
engineer. He was given suspension
of 10 days
"A foreman in charge of yard en-
gine in one of our large yards failed to
properly protect his train while switch
ing and one car was cOrneEed by cut

A suspension of Is days has been re
corded for this neglect
Recently, while engineer on switch
engine was pulling out of switch onto
the lead. he failed to notice that the
switch was set for the lead instead of
the track engine wes on, and the en-
efne was deraiIed. For this neglect a

STATE ROADS PAY.
PruSSia's Railroads Furnish
Over Half the States
Revenues.

Washington. Aug. 25.-ConsuI Mona
Chin at Chenlnitz, Germany, has sent
to the state department a report on
Prussian railroads.
State ownership of railroads. he
says, plays an important part in Prus-
sia'S finances, earning enormous sums
serving commerce and manufa eturers
in times of peace, and for all strategic
purposes in times of war they have
more than justified the arguments that
urged the government to own them and
the liberal policies that have put them
down and pushed them out into all
parts of the empire
The receipts for 1861 have gone be-
yond the estimate of the budget of l.
e20, ,5S2. 400 marks and the estimate for
1S97-9S is LILO, ZIG, $50 marks, while the
total income of the kingdom is only
slightly more than two billion marks.
After giving sta atistics in some detail,
the consul continues: No other branch
of public property pays so surely and
Of this size, the ease with which they
are obtained, their cash character, rem
der them the most useful OF all the
moneys turned into the public treas
Ury. How successfully they are run,
in other respects, whether better than
they would have been under private
ownership, it is hard to say The state
has had its hands on the roads from the
beginning. Seeing how successfully
they would aid armies, and also how
necessary they would be in the develop
neut of the empire, Prussia did not hes
itate to take the railroads over the
state. The tendency all over the en-
IiFe IS towards state and city ownership
of all kinds of transportation facilities
as well as telegraphS telephones and

within the near future I think Kan
sas land will command a good price,
said Land Commissioner John E Frost
of the Santa Fe today There is a
steady demand for land in the western
part of the state for grazing purposes,
and agricultural land in other parts of
the state is also selling This demand
will of course eventually bring the
price of Kansas land up
While the majority of the land pur-
chased SO far this year, I think has
been by outside parties. from this time
on our local people will proba bly, do the
bulk of the buying. Much of the mon

THREE BIG ENGINES
Santa Fe Shops Turn Out Three Re-
modelled Locomotives.

Three Santa Fe-Pacific engines will
this week be turned out of the Santa
F'e shops in this city after having been
entirely remodeIed and rebuilt. The
capacity of the tanks has been increas-
ed, the old machinery and equipment
has been replaced by new, and they are
now practically new locomotives.
AS soon as these three engines are
turned out of the shops three more en-
gines of the Santa Fe-Pacific road
will take their places. The first three
engines were placed in the shops the
first of this month, and when the
amount of work done on the big ma
chimes is taken into consideration this
is remarkably fast time. The facilities
at the Santa Fe shops in this city are
now such that work can be done with
great rapidity and vet efficiently

But there are some doubtless, who are

attendance OF over 5000. Nearly 4,0ot
operations have been performed, over

under cataract operations and there are
