Parties Behind New Indian Territory
Road Not Known in WASHINGTON.

Washington. Jan. 22-COngressman
Bartholdt's bill, authorizing the Kansas
Nebraska & Gulf Railroad company to
construct a line through the Indian Ter
rit0ry, has been favOrably reported by
the House committee on Interstate and
foreign commerce. The report was
made by Mr.. Fischer of New York.
The report stated that the committee
has assurances that the corporation
was a bona fde one, organized to build
the road. There was no evidence be-
fore the committee in regard to the pro-
ject, and Mr.. Fischer, who made the re-
port did not even know the names of
the incOTpOratOrs.
Some Kansans who were interested in
ascertaining who were the parties be
hind the project, telegraphed to Sec
rotary of State Bush OF Kansas for the
names of the incOrporators, and re
ceived reply that the company was in
cOrporated for SO. 600 600, and that the
incOrDorators were as follows; c. D.

Malone, " N. Pattison. c. G. Wheeler,
J. F Gleason, and F. J. Hulaniski.

STAND BY ROAD MANAGERS
Vaudeville Circuit is Satisfied With
It's Present Arran gements.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 22.-The managers
of the vaudeville theaters of the circuit
of which the Star theater of this city is
a member, decided at a meeting last
night to stand by the road managers"
with whom they have been doing bust
ness for years. This action was taken
when communications were read from
two New York syndicates which offered
to book them for 40 weeks each year.
The secretary of the circuit was in
structed to decline the proffer of the
syndicates.
Representatives from Pittsburg, Gin
cinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago, Louis
vile and St. Louis were present at the
meeting. The principal business of the
session was checking time" and com
pairing business. 1t was found that
since the circuit was formed the houses
which belong to it have prospered to
such an extent that the circuit will be
a permanent thing in the future. It
vas announced after the meeting that
some weeks ago the circuit had been
incorporated under the laws of Ohio
with capital stock of $4,000, half of
it being paid up.

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 22.-That serious

RAILwAY-CAR RECORDS.
Improved System VIII Be Adopted by
the G. NJ & St. P.

the Q. NJ & st. z.
w E. Beecham, car accountant of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail-
way, has invented a method of record
ing the wherea bouts of cars and their
service, which is a great Improvement
on the systems now in use. 1t Will be
adopted on that road on February 1.
The simplicity of the new system is
its most striking feature In the first
place. a blackboard is prepared con-
an inch in size. The ordinary board
contains 900 such squares, or one for
every car owned by the road. In each
square is inserted an aluminium pin six
inches long. On these pins are attach
ed paStebOard tags exactly one inch
square, on which are printed by a spec
tally designed typewriter figures indi-
eating the various railroads of the
country and dates. Each tag also con-
tains the number of the car.
Two boards are necessary, one for the
car in service on the road and another
for its cars which are in use on other
lines. A glance at the Interchange
board as it is called, shows exactly
how many are out on other lines and
full particulars as to dates and circun-
stance.
The system is further simplifed by
the use of different colors of tags A
white rag indicates that a loaded car in
use OF the owning line, the figures
showing between what points. A yell
low tag indicates that the car is empty.
a erd tag indicates the delivery of a
car to a connecting line or its cOnnec-
lions, and a blue tag indicates the re-
turn of the car to the owning line.

his home early Wednesday morning to
go to his work, and about o'clock the
Waterman at the roundhOuse was at

the excavation. He found Hamilton
lying at the bottom of the reservoir in
a serni-uncOnsciOus state, and when he
was removed to his home it was found
that his Rip had been fractured and his
skull crushed on the right side. It is
supposed that he attempted to walk
across the reservoir on a plank and lost
his balance.

LITTLE BITS OF STEEL.
Two Santa Fe Employees Arrive at
the Hospital With Injured Eyes.

Henry Hood, a machinist employed in
the Santa Fe shops at Argentine, is at
the Santa Fe hospital in this city suf-
fering from a dislocation of the lens Of
one of his eyes. While at work this
week a small piece of metal from an
axle box struck him in the eye, and dis
located the lens. He came to Topeka
for treatment and it was found neces-
sary to remove the lens. The sight as
fetal lens will be supplied by means Of
glasses, and in this way the injury to
the eye almost wholly remedied-
William Jones, in the track depart
ment of the Santa F'e at Coolidge, is
also at the Santa Fe hospital with
badly injured eye. A splinter from a
steel rail penetrated the eyebal, and
hicted an injury which may result in
permanent loss of sight.

sleeper, had passed the Ottawa switch.
The front trucks of the tourist follow
ed, but by some means the switch was
sprung so the hind wheels started for

was that the tourist car was thrown
from the track, and only stopped from

striking sideways against a strong tel
egTaph pole.
A couple of women, who refused to

one having a finger mashed and the
