President Ripley's Reply to z. NJ C.
A. Managers-Work of Future.

In answer to a recent inquiry relative to
the Y. NJ. G. A work on the Santa Fe sys-
tenn President z. 2. Ripley writes as 1ol-
1--WE have gone into this matter on a
to say anything for publication, / am will
ing to give you the following information
to what we have done:
believing that good service cannot be
had unless the men generally are content
ed with their environments, we have al
ways made effort to surround our men
in the western cOuntry-where facilities
with pleasant places of resort in the shape
of reading rooms, where the prominent
are brought before them, as wen as a
suitable class Of books; 1 have found
that under certain conditions the Y NJ.
c. A. is better able to handle these rooms
and conduct them in an attractive manner
than the railway company, and for this
reason have recently agreed with the IN
terna tiOnal committee of New York city
that would aid them in establishing per-
manent branches at our division points of
Argentine, Kan, Cleburne and Temple,
Tex; also Topeka, Kan. At Topeka there
has been for several years a branch Of
the Y. NJ. G. A which we have assisted.
We pay the salary of a competent Secre-
tary and have spent quite little sum
of money in fitting out their quarters,
putting in new baths, extending their
sleeping rooms, etc. We furnish them
the building they use rent free, as wei! as
light, fuel etc. At the other three points
named I have agreed that if the associ-
alton would undertake to establish build
ings costing not to exceed $4,000 each, we
would furnish the ground for the location
of the buildings and would donate three
dollars for each dollar raised by SubScrip-
ton towards the enterprise, and that we
would pay the salaries of the secretary at
each place

not yet been developed; but doubt not

BRAKEMAN ROBBED.
Tramps' New Way of Dealing With
Trainmen.

Leavenworth. July -5.-Joseph Stolzley. a
Missouri Pacific brakeman, was the vic
tim of a bold hOld-up while attempting to
put two tramps off a freight train.
Stokley, whose home is in St. Louis, was
making his first trip over the road from
Omaha to Kansas City and the con-
ductor finding two tramps in box car,
ordered him to put them Off The train
was nearing the North LeavenWOrth coal
shaft and was slowing up for the eIe-
vator switch. Stokley climbed down into
the car and as he did so ordered the men
to get off. One of them approached him
and made attempt to hit him with
club, barely missing his head. StokIey
grabbed the fellow, but the other man
Jumped from behind. Between the two
they overpowered Stokley and bore him
to the floor of the car.
through his pockets and took a gold
watch and SO in money. They then car
ried Stokley to one end of the car and
dropped him to the floor and, making
run, jumped from the car.
Stokley got off the train at the union
depot and went to the police station,
where he told Sergeant Dodge of the
currence and left a. description of the men.
Both were young men, neither of them be-
ing over Is years of age.

w. C. T. U. APPEAL
For Contributions to Kansas Soldiers
Hospital Fund.

The following circular has been issued
by the w. c. T. U:
An Appeal to Temperance People:
In harmony with the law and the
practice of the state of Kansas, our
Kansas regiments have refused to es-
tablish canteens in their camps. But
by so doing they have deprived them
selves of the means used by many
troops from other states to procure hos
pital comforts and delicacies.
This is the situation confronting the
temperance people of Kansas, and haV-
ing perfect faith and confidence in them
that they will not permit the Kansas
soldiers to suffer for standing by the
principles that prohibition Kansas has
taught them, we, on behalf of the Kan
sas w. G. T. U. issue this appeal ask
ing that all temperance people assist at
once in raising a. fund to be used in
supplying hospital deficiencies to the
Kansas regiments as their necessities
may demand.
All such money should be sent to Mrs.
E. p. Hutchinson, Hutchinson, Kansas,
who will see that it reaches the proper
person.

FOUGHT IN FRONT.
Reason Why so Many American OFF,
GERS Have Been Killed.

Washington, July 5.-A remarkable
feature of the fighting in Cuba and
one much commented upon In military
circles, is the heavy loss in killed and
wounded of commissioned and non
distress which the loss of so many Off
GERS has occasioned, the army officials
point to the list as a splendid evidence
of the dash and personal bravery of the
men who wear shoulder straps.
Among the killed and wounded since
the first fight at Juragua have been otfi-
GERS of every grade from colonel down,
precedented in proportion to the forces
engaged. The loss of officers in the
two days fighting around Santiago
demonstrates to military men that the
American officers lead their men wher-
ever they are called upon to go, and are
setting an example which can not but
elevate the esprit du corps of the

LESS THAN HOG RATES.
Low Price Union Pacific Received for
Transporting Troops

Some of the western politicians have
been Grating about the coming of that
good time when the railroads would be
forced to convey man from San Fran
cisco to New York as cheaply as they do
a hog.
In carrying the Kansas troops over its
portion of the route to San Francisco the
Union Pacific charged less than hog
rates.
The price charged from Topeka to Ogden
was IS a man, with the stipulation that
each man was to have a whole seat in
a car to himself Counting the weight
of the equipage, which was carried free
the rate would amount to less than 81 to
the man, or less than the rate charged for
q 800 pound hog in a stock car.
