THE MAIL-TRAIN RACES
STRIFE BETWEEN WESTERN LINES
EXCITING MUCH INTEREST.
The BrotherhOOds, Except the Engin-
GERS, Have COnfederated-Mis-
ceIIaneOus Railway News.

In railroad circles good deal of interest
is taken in the outcome of the speed war
now in progress between the Chicago &
Rock Island and the Kansas Pacific roads.
The weighing of mails on roads west of the
Missouri river is now going on, and with
this each line interested is making an effort
TO excel the time of it's competitor. Three
times the Kansas Pacific cut down it's time
between Kansas City and Denver, and in
each case the Chicago & Rock Island has
done little better, until on Monday it
reached a point where schedules were NOT
adhered to and the Rock Island train
reached the Union Depot at Denver at 9:13
a. m Its scheduled time would bring it
in at 1890 a. M. and the Kansas Pacific
train arrived at 1858 a. m, two minutes
ahead of it's scheduled time Both roads
now announce that their schedule time here
after to arrive at Denver will be 9 a. M,
making the run one hour quicker than the
latest adopted schedule by the Kansas Pa
cific. Both lines haul on these trains their
regular passenger equipment.
The Midland, the Gulf and the Denver &
Rio Grande are also having a speed con-
test. The Colorado Midland is the shortest
line and contends that it is entitled to carry
the mail, which has for years been carried
by the Denver & Rio Grande between Dem
yer and Cripple Creek, and the Midland's
last report shows that 1t is making the run
forty-five minutes quicker than its COMPETE
tor. 1t will be remembered that when the
weighing of mails was in progress in this
section there was time war between the
Pennsylvania and the Vanderbilt lines be-
tween New York and Chicago and between
the Wabash and the Pennsylvania and Van
dalia on carrying the mail between New
York and st. Louis, and IL ended in giving
the Pennsylvania and the Vanaalia the
heavy mail between New York and ST Louis
west bound, and the Wabash between those
points east bound Since that time the Big
-Four has demanded some of the mail-carry-
ing business, and II is now carrying more
mail than at any previous time.

I'm URCHIN FROM RUSHVILLE,
Equipped with 80 Cents and Sent to
This City.

Waterman Hunter. who does night duty
at the monument, found a. neatly dressed
urchin wandering about the great shaft last
night. The boy had apparently lost his way,
and the Waterman took charge of him. The
little fellow said he was eleven years old,
and lived at Rushville. He had come to
town to seek his sister and, having failed in
his quest, was almost ready to cry. He said
his name was Abe Cohie. He told the watch
man that his father gave him so cents yes
terday morning, and he started to walk to
this city. His father had given him the
number of the house where his sister lived,
but had neglected to mention the name of
the street. On the way to the city the boy
was invited to ride with a man who was
driving this way and he arrived here about
dark, He said his sisters name was Mamie
Cohie, and he had understood she lived near
the monument. Waterman Hunter took the
boy to the police station and he was turned
over to the matron, who tucked him into a
white bed and assured him his sister would
be found in the morning.

Town Board of IrVington from improving
Washington street, in accordance with a
resolution adopted by The board. Merrill

specifically what kind of a pavement is de-

ent kind of bids. Attorneys Ritter and
Baker, who appeared for the Town Board
contended that the board had only taken
preliminary steps thus far. They insisted
