SANTA FE FLYER.
New California Train Passes Through
Topeka With rs Passengers
Aboard

"A Waldorf-Astoria on wheels passed
through this city this morning on its
way to California. Tt was the first of
the California limited trains on the
Santa Fe, and it reinaugurates the linn
tied train service between Chicago and
the Pacific coast.
The Santa Fe limited trains in the
past have been veritable travelling
hotels of a thoroughly up-to-date char
acter, but the initial train proves that
this year the limited service on the
Santa Fe will excel that of any former
year. To the advantage of a well ap-
pointed hotel is this year coupled some
of the comforts of a splendidly furnish
ed home.
Seventy-five people took passage on
the train out of Chicago last night and
We're aboard when it passed through
Topeka this morning, and at La Junta
and Albuquerque this number will be
increased. In this connection the San
ia Fe management has the satisfaction
of knowing that every passenger rides
on only first class paid ticket, as no
free transportation is honored on the
limited trains.
The train consisted of six cars a COM
posite car, a dining car, three Pullman
sleepers, the Laertes, Eumenis and
Orient, and a Pullman observation car,
Tryphosa. Half of the composite car
is arranged for baggage and the other
half is divided into a barber shop, a
buffet apartment and s. reading and
writing room. A portion of the OBJ
servation car is fitted with easy chairs
and tables, and is especially designed
for the use of the ladies and children on
the train. Here they can be as COM
Portable as at their homes.
The equipment of the train which
passed through this city is entirely new.
and this will be true Of the equipment of
with electricity, the general lighting in the
descent globes arranged in arches at in
electricity Is generated from the car
axles. and an electrician will accompany
each train to look after this feature.
One new and particular feature of the
limited train service is the electric light
ing of berths. Each berth is supplied
with an incandescent globe the glass
frosted so as to do away with the glare
and produce light especially adapted for
reading purposes. Passengers who may
wish to recline and read are enabled to
do so by this arrangement.
White BARRIERS will be employed on the
limited trains. a porter in a neat uni
form looks after the comfort of the pas
Sengers in the composite car.
The train this morning was in charge of
Engineer Mckeon and Conductor Marshall
from Kansas City to Topeka. General
Passenger Agent Black went to Kansas
City this morning and returned to Topeka
on the limited train.

James White, a painter employed in
the Santa Fe shops in this city, is at
the Santa Fe hospital suffering from a

The accident occurred in the main

Mayor, West Superior, Wis. Dear Sir:
have the honor to acknowledge the re-

common council on the 18th inst. Our
city council will not meet until the 9Th

way to fight the battles of our common
country. We warmly appreciate your
gratitude and heartily reciprocate your
earnest wish for a closer bond of union
between your people and ours. 1t is
worth all this war has cost in money
and in infinitely more precious lives if

great country. All that is needed for
such a contamination, is for US to know
each other better and to realize that We
are all Americans.
Yours respectfully,
j. ADGER SMITH, Mayor.

HAS LOOKED UP Ii. HALL.
Col Close Says That He is the Man
Who swore he Saw Fraker Drown.

Col. F. J. Close, who is one of the
members of the committee appointed
by Lincoln post to investigate the char
ges against the management at the
asylum especially with reference to the
treatment of old soldiers, has been look
ing up the record of the discharged
Night Watch Harry Hall who has made
the affidavits OF brutal treatment at the
asylum and he says that he has made
the startling discovery that Hall is not
Hail at all but that his right name is
George Harry and he is one of the men
charged with DR.. Fraker in Kansas
City with conspiracy to defraud insur-
ance companies.
Col. Close said: 81 have found that
this man who has made the affidavits
IS the man who swOre that he saw DR.
Fraker drown in the Missouri river. He
was arrested at Ration, New Mexico, for
grand larceny and was in jail when it
was found who he was. There was a
big fight over him and he was turned
over to an officer and brought back to
Missouri. He was charged with con-
spring with Dr. Fraker to defraud the
insurance companies. His right name is
George Harry.

neys for the companies involved in the
case came to me and introduced Hall
and asked me to get him a place in the
asylum. I did not know him at that
time and only a day or two ago did 1
find out who Hall really is As far as
I know this man is still under bond in
Missouri I have not been able to find
that the case against him has been dis
missed. He was brought from New
Mexico with the understanding that If
he was not convicted here he would be
sent back to New Mexico for trial
there
Col. Close says that the report of the
committee has not yet been formulated,
but when it is it will furnish the infor-
nation concerning Hall so that the
members Of the G. A. r. may judge
whether an affidavit from him should be
considered of much value.

Years ago his father had died and left the

Here his honest face secured him a posi-
