ENGLEwooD COMPLAINS.
Thinks the Santa Fe Mail Train is En-
tireiy Too Slow.

The people who live on the .Englewood
branc hof the Santa Fe think they are
very greatly abused in the matter of mail
service. Englewood. Ashland and Cold
water are especially vOciferOus in their
complaint. They say their mail is too
long reaching there and they have ap-
piled to the postal department to have a
change made.
The situation out there as sized up by
one of them is this: A Wichita business
man writes a letter to a retail merchant
at Ashland when he first gets down to
business, Monday morning. This letter
leaves Wichita Tuesday morning. 1t will
reach EnglewOOd Tuesday night so late
that the person to whom it is addressed
cannot get it until after. the train has
started on it's return trip, Wednesday
morning. The merchant can answer the
letter on Wednesday and Thursday it
gets to Wichita. reaching there too late
to be delivered that day, and the Wichita
business man does not get it until Friday
morning, thus requiring from Manday
morning until Friday morning to get
letter out to western Kansas and back.
The EnglewoOd train always leaves
Wichita on time, but it has so much BUSH
ness that it is always late long before it
reaches the end of its run.

AS far as could be ascertained the
electrical potential of the disturbance
was not recorded by any instrument in
Chicago. The Chicago weather bureau
has no instruments for recording mag
netic disturbances. Professor A. A.
Nicholson of the department of phys
les of the University of Chicago said
that as far as he knew no record had
been made of the disturbance at the
university.
The last disturbance of the kind oc-
Cured about three months ago 1t
was much less severe than that of Fri
day. Both are regarded as being I'M
usual, owing to the time of year. Tele-
graph wires over large areas of the
United States are frequently affected
in the months of April and November,
but disturbances in September are rare.
At 8 q. m. there was not a telegraph
wire working east of Pittsburg or Buff
faIO Atlanta and Augusta, Ga, re
ported their lines north to Washington
out of service. After o'clock the mag
netic display ceased altogether and the
wires worked as well as before.

NEW TRAIN TO DENVER.
Missouri Pacific Likely to Inaugurate
It Soon.

Salfna, Sept 12.-Judging from present
Indications it will not be long before the
Missouri Pacific will add another fast
train to its passenger service between
Kansas City and Pueblo. This train will
pass through Salina.
At present, however, nothing definite is
known, even by the officials themselves,
as considerable specula ton is necessary
relative to the making of new time cards
and other importnt changes before the
new train can be checked out of the Kan
sas City union depot. tt is expected to
make the new train about opposite hours
and directions to the train already run

Roadmaster CoughH n passed through
some days ago to Pueblo a tour of in
spection for the purpose of examining in
to the ACCESSIBILITY of a new train. Gen
eral Superintendent Clark has already
given it out that the new train will be put
on, but it is not certain as to the time
nor the schedule.
The trains through Salina lately have
had from six to nine or ten coaches of

RULING OF INDIAN AGENT.
Railways in Indian Territory Must Be
Guarded in Tie Contracts.


South McAlester, L T., Sept. p
United States Indian Agent Wilson has
announced the following important
rulings, which are of very great in
terest to residents of the Indian Terri
tory.
The Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf
railroad in it's extension eastward from
Wister Junction, made a contract with
the Choctaw nation to have ties made
for its extension, agreeing to pay the
ChoctaW nation the timber royalty pre-
scribed by tribal law. This contract
was made with the timber agent of the
Choctaw nation, and the ties were be-
ing delivered under that contract. Some
of the holders of claims in the nation
claimed that under the terms of the
dfvidual allottee or holder of a claim
on which he had made improvements
from time to time, has the preference
to have allotted to himself the property
upon which he has made such improve
mentS, and that pending the time when
allotment shall come he has the right
to hold the property and should receive
all it's revenues and benefits. Under
this clause of the agreement 1t was de-
cided that the nation has no right to
make a contract to take timber from
the claim of any person, but that such
contract must be made by the corpora
ton or firm directly with the individual
citizen holding the claim, and that in
stead of royalties or profit moneys be
ing paid to the timber agent for the
nation, it shall be paid to the Individual
No contract by the nation can bind
the Individual under the agreement and
the Curtis bill, and the only contract
that can be made must be made with
the individual direct.
This is a very important decision, and
concerns all of the railway companies
now doing business in the Indian Terri

How Funny They Act Under an Au-
roral Disturbance.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE electrical dis
turbances in the dispatches on Friday
were the most widespread ever known
in the history of telegraphing.
Telegraph wires over all the United
States east of the Rocky Mountains re
fused to work between II a. m. and p.
m, during which time an electrical dis
turbance similar to that sometimes oc-
casioned by the aurora borealfs was in
progress. The effect on the wires was
much like that of an electric storm, ex-
cept that the current was a ground
current. The disturbance came in waves
which were about as strong in one part

Hold a Seat

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE committee on
rules of the board of education has vo-

many matters by allowing the superin-

Chairman Walleck moved to amend
rule 56 in accordance with the superin-

vigorously opposed by several mem

Santa Monica, June 2G.-Visitors who had the pleasure of being at Santa Monica Sunday night saw a sunset they will never forget. Sitting in the new and dainty breakfast room fof Arcadia hotel your correspondent saw the sun sinking behind the Sierra Santa Monica, throwing out the most gorgeous and brilliant colors, when suddenly a series of light, fleacy clouds somewhat obstructed the vision, and in a moment dissipated all the col
 ors and changed the brilliant lights into a soft, silvery path which led the eye from the great wharf out to Point Dumas. The suddenness of the change
 and the enchanting softness of the later effects made the view one never to be forgotten. A large number of
 men and women enjoyed the surf
 bathing yesterday, the weather being
 warm, and the breakers rolling enough
 to give the bathers all the fun and
