and when the work is finished the main
line of the eastern division will be sec
Ond to none.
Last year new rails were laid from
Wilder east and this year the work on
the eastern end of the division COM
menced at Wilder and has been to the
present time carried on as far as Cedar
Junction, about six miles. The work
on the western end of the new track
commenced at the Topeka yards and
has been laid to Tecumseh, a distance
of six miles. With the two gangs of
track layers working towards each
other the new track will all be laid
within two months.
The work has been very much de-
layed this spring on account of the
heavy rains.
A stone crusher has been put in at
LecomptOn and the new track will be
ballasted with standard rock ballast.
The telegraph line will be greatly inn
proved and the bridges and culverts
will be enlarged and strengthened.
At Lecompton where the reverse
curve is, the greatest improvement will
be made. The two curves will be Short
ened and with the shortening and
Strengthening a tangent will be gained
between the curves. The reverse curve
at Lecompton has been under discus
sion for some time and the improve
ment now made there and along the
line may be but the commencing of
even greater improvements.
On the cutoff a stone cruSher has
been put in at Melvern and with the
two crushers on the eastern division all
ballast that is not up to the standard
will be made so.

SHE MADE THEM SKIP.
Kansas Woman Puts the officers of
the Road to Flight

The story is told of a woman who
was of the strong minded type and
who had a great distaste for tobacco
smoke, travelling over the Southern
Kansas. She stopped over night at a
small town and early in the morning
she went down to the depot to take the
train. AS she stepped into the waiting
room of the depot she saw two men
sitting near the stove playing cards
and smoking. She looked at them and
glared. She walked round the room
with her umbrella. The men looked up
and continued their playing. That
seemed to be too much for the woman
who cried: What business have you
loafing in this waiting room and smok-
ing and playing cards? Get out of
here at once" and she raised her UNI
brella in a threatening manner. The
men grabbed the cards and the board
they were playing on and fled out of
the room. The woman went over to the
ticket office and pounded on the win
dow bent on reporting the actions SO, OF
the two men to the station agent. The
window was opened and the station
agent looked at her in an enquiring
way.
when 1 came in and they were smoking
and playing cars" said theNwoman.-
Yes, man, meekly responded the
agent;
what right have they to be loaf1ng
here?'' demanded the woman.
well, one is the general superintend-
ent of the road and the other is the
division superintendent replied the
station agent. 1T would not have
been very healthy for me to have fired
them out"
