AND NO LONGER SHEER

Mr.. Edward Wilder, treasurer of the
Santa Fe, has returned to Topeka, af-
ter hobnObbing with the nabObs of the
east for the past three weeks, and he
says that this year he found them a
more sociable lot of fellows than for
several years past.
He says that their sneers at Kansas,
of which there was a plentiful supply
year or SO ago, have turned to solicit
Gus inquiry concerning the condition
and prospects of the Sunf1Ower state
The feeling in the east toward the
west has materially changed" said Mr.
Wilder. THE eastern people are now
very ready to talk about Kansas and
other western states and admit that
out here we are equally as well, if not
better fixed, than they are in the
east
There is much inquiry about west
ern investments and western railroads,
and if this year proves a prosperous
one, we may look for a large invest
ment of eastern money in the state"

STRUCK THE MOTHER LODE
Starting Point of the KIondike Plac-

Seattle. Wash, Jan. u.-W. J. Jones of
Port Townsend. Wash, who arrived from
Alaska on the steamer City of Topeka,
brings news of the discovery of what is
supposed to be the mother lode and
quartz origin of the placers of the Klon-
dixie district. The discovery was made
within four hours at four different points,
one of them at The Dome, high noun
tain to the east of the source of the Ell
dorado creek. owned by Frank Slavin;
the second at No. 81 Elldorado, by A H.
Jose and partner; the third one in Mug

where in the twenties on Bonanza creek
The trend of the vein is northwest by
west, westerly from The Dome. It is
found at about thirty feet below the sur
face and under the muck and alluvial de-
post.
The ledge is about eighteen inches and
makes a uniform width. 1t is generously
sprinl1led with free gold. Mr.. Jones
brings down samples of the ore, and
everyone who has seen them says the
rock is precisely the same in character as
is found in the Comet mine at Berner's
Way southeastern Alaska. Mr.. Jones
says that old miners in the Klondike had
made a similar observation.

oLEMENCY ASKED FOR.
Gases of Conductors Littlejohn and
McCate Cited to Superintend-
ent Avery Turner by the
Griavopoa Com 1,7i4%aa

The general grievance committee of
the Order of Railway Conductors on
the Santa F'e gathered together the
/ grievances which had been ground out
at their meeting in this city during the
past week and went before Assistant
4 General superintendent Avery Turner
with them yesterday evening. All were
Individual cases. and in each case elem
ency was asked. In some cases Glenn
ency meant a reduction of demerit
marks, and in other cases it meant re-
inStatement.
At the end of two hours discussion
with Mr.. Turner, the conductors left
the general office building with the as
surance that the requested clemency
would be shown a number of the men
in question, but also taking with them
the statement of the assistant general
Superintendent that the case on which
the matter of discipline in regard to
violations of the block system rules
hinged would be taken under advise
ment and a decision reserved, and that
the case in which reinstatement was
particularly requested would not be
considered.
The former of the two particular
cases was that of Conductor LittlejOhn
of Emporia. Conductor Littlejohn left
EmpOria in charge of an extra freight
train with orders to run ahead of the
regular train At Strong City his train
was delayed to such an extent by nee
essary switching that the regular train
passed it, running on schedule time.
Conductor LittIejOhn reasoned that he
train in the same blocks as ahead of it.
and that by doing SO he would save the
company time. So without asking for
a permissive card from the operator at
Strong City, he followed the regular
train, running in the same blocks. For
this breach of rules he was given de-
mermit marks equivalent to 80 days
suspension.
The committee decided that the pun
ishment was too severe for the Offense
as no injury came of Conductor Little
johns actiOn.Mr Turner told the MEM
bers that without strict attention to
made a success, and that the necessity
of such attention had to be emphasiz-
ed. He said, however, that he had not
understood the facts of the case as
presented by the committee, and that he
would take tn aesnucde
would take the case under advisement
The latter case was that of Conductor
McCabe of the western division, a vic
tim of the special service. Conductor
McCabe was discharged some time ago
on the charge of selling a ticket to
passenger, and pOcketing the money.
He protested his innocence and brought
the matter before the grievance COM
mittee, explaining the circumstances in
such way that the committee decided
he was not guilty of the charge. Mr..
Turner told the members that the cir
cu1nStanceS went to show that Con-
ductOr McCabe was guilty, and that he
would have nothing to do with the
case. It will now be taken to General
Manager Frey.
The committee will remain in session
this week, meeting jointly with the
grievance committee of the B. of R. 7.
tomorrow.

MRS. LETTERS COUP.
Mother of Joe" Corners Wash
ingtOn Social Market.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE achievements
of zoe" Letter in cornering the Chicago
wheat market created little more interest
here than does the successful cornering
of the Washington social market by Mrs
Letter, his mother.
Early in the season some fashionable
women organized a certain dancing class
known as the small and early which
occurs in a public ballroom, and invited
Mrs Letter, whose daughter, Miss Daisy
Letter, recently made her debut, to join
them. Mrs. Letter declined to subscribe,
naming, it is said, as her reason that she
had "a ballroom of her own in which to
entertain friends
There was much gossip concerning her
tart reply, and the consequent indignation
of those to whom it was addressed
The latest development in the matter
demonstrates Mrs. Letters confidence in
her social strength and ability and weak
ems the theory that young Joe" inherits
all his grit from his father. Mrs. Letter
has issued cards for a small dance" Jan
uary IA, to take place in her 'own' ball
room, the same night the small and
early long since chose for date at
Rauscher's.
Now. a small dance at the Letters
means the getting together in sumptuOus
surroundings of 200 or more of the smart
est girls and most desirable men in Wash
ington and New York and the utter fall
ure of any other affair falling on that
date. Furthermore, it is said Mrs. Letter
will punish her critics by having a series
of functions on each night the small and
early is arranged for
There is not a question in the public
mind as to the result, for this is not Mrs.
Letters first appearance as social disel-
pIinarian Last year the Brices selected
a certain night for a magnificent ball, and
after their cards were engraved they
found Mrs. Letter planning something for
the same time There was a brisk cor
respondence between the two households
with the usual resuIt-Mrs- Letter came
out winner and the Brices took second
choice.
People are feeling rather sorry for the
