NOW THIS IS A MYSTERY,
But as This is All That Could Be
Found Out, the Story is Short.

When the Atchison train came in on
Wednesday morning there was a small
boy, just a mite of a boy, only years
old, and he was bound for Ration, n. NJ.
He was a manly little fellow and not
a bit afraid to talk
Where are you going?" the conduc-
tor asked him.
I am going to my uncle in New Mex
ico," and he trudged off, but he was not
alone.
A lady who lives in Topeka was with
him, and was going to see him safe and
sound on No. / for New Mexico. The
lady and the boy ate dinner at the
lunch counter, and it was but a few
minutes before the lad had become ac-
quainted with all abOu$sthe station.
I live in Topeka" the lady said, but
no one asked her name.
The boy was placed in a seat on No.
1 and the conductor was given his tick
ct and was told that the uncle OF the
child would meet him at Ration. After
the boy was gone the lady stated that
the child's parents had separated and
that the mother was sending the boy
to its uncle. Thursday a telegram was
received from Ration stating that the
boy was there, but that no one met him
and no one knew what to do with him.
Nobody here knows anything about him
nor about the woman, and there the
child is, away out in Ration, all by him
self, and nobody knows where he be
longs or who his father or mother is.

HEAD THIS OFF FOR AWHILE.
Prospects of Union Depot Injured
by Missouri Pacific's Prema-
ture Action.

When the Missouri Pacific entered
Topeka it received from the owners of
the Richie tract in South Topeka, ten
acres free, provided it would maintain
a freight and passenger depot upon that
ground.
Since then it has been thought advis-
able to move the headquarters of the
Topeka terminal to the location Of the
passenger depot on Fifth street, but
each time that this move was proposed
the second parties of the agreement
have notified the company of their con-
tract to maintain the two depOts, and
the matter would be dropped. Lately
the subject has again been discussed
At present the Missouri Pacific is main
tanning three depots in Topeka, a pas
senger depot on Fifth and Adams
streets and two in South Topeka, a
freight and passenger depot. In mud
dy weather il makes teaming from the
freight depot to the paved streets very
heavy. and then with the expense of
two needless depOts it has been decided
that a large depot on Fifth and Adams
streets for both passenger and freight
traffic would be better, consequently
the ten acres of the Richie tract have
been bought. and the company is now
free to do as it wishes.
A passenger and freight depot will
now be built at the corner of Fifth and
Adams streets, and the present depot
building viii be torn down.
1t seems too bad that this move is
made now, when Topeka expects in a
year or two to have under Roadway the
project for a union depot The CONNER
ciaI club ought to inquire into this.

THIS NOT A TIMBER COUNTRY
And Yet Shawnee County Ships a
Carload of Walnut Logs to
ENGLAND.

A car load of walnut logs has been
shipped from Topeka over the Missouri
Pacific, bound for Liverpool. Several
more car loads are to follow. The logs
are about u feet long and some of them
81 inches thick. They are all cut in
Shawnee county and will be used in
England for choice finishing. The logs
are not cured here, but will be sawed up
and cured after they arrive in Liver
pool.
Kansas is not called a lumber state,
but it furnishes the finest walnut that
can be had anywhere, but it is fast be
coming scarce. In the early days many
houses were built in Topeka and else
where that were finished inside with
walnut.
Not a veneer, but solid lumber. Many
such houses that were finished in this
way still stand and in order to keep up
with the changes in house decorations
many rooms finished in expensive black
walnut have been painted, and now 1t
cannot be told whether the wood is pine

CHEAPER ALASKA RATES.
Burlington Issues a Tariff Naming
$25 First Glass and $40 Sec
Ond Glass.

Kansas City, March 4.-The Burling-
ton yesterday announced that, effective
March 6, it will name passenger rates
from Missouri river points, Kansas City
to Omaha inclusive, to Portland, Ore,
and Tacoma and Seattle, Wash, of $25
for first class and $50 for second class
tickets to be limited to continuous pas
sage, these rates applying only for part
les of three or more travelling together
on one ticket.
For single passengers tickets will be
sold at the regular fares, $50 first class
and $40 second class, the passenger to
be given rebate of $25 on first class
tickets and $50 on second class tickets
upon reaching his destination. This
precautiOn is taken merely to protect
the tickets at the low rates from being
used by brokers, and the only difference
to the passenger is that he must deposit
the full fare, having half of it returned
at the end of the trip.

FOR NEW TRACKS.
Santa Fe Preparing to Improve Its
Line Between Topeka and Wilder

Line Between Topeka and Wilder
The rails have been strung along the
right of way of the Santa Fe between
Topeka and Wilder preparatory to the
laying of the new tracks.
Last year the track from Kansas City
to Wilder was re aid with s. pound steel
and the same weight of steel viii be
laid from there through to Topeka.
The new track laid as far as Wilder
was ballasted with the standard bal
last and is one of the best pieces of
track on the system. The new track
to be laid viii have standard ballast
and when all completed the line will be
equal to any on the entire system. New
ties will replace old ones and wire and
insulatOrs have been distributed by the
construction train to be used in putting
the telegraph line in the best of condi-
ton
The poles that were damaged and
wrecked in the ice storm in January
will be replaced. In many places the
curves will be Strengthened and with ad-
diuonal sidings it will allow of much
better time The drainage has been
carefully looked after and most of the
drainage is done through stone culverts
and the water carried direct into the
river which lessons the possibilities of
washouts. The dykes along the river
are being looked after and new ones are
being put in at different points In
different places trees and brush have
been cleared from the right of way and
with additional grading the line is well
kept and shows that those who work
upon it take a special pride in it. The
work will commence as soon as the

ships and their start to Cuba can not be
made before next Thursday
The two Warships were poorly adapted
for carrying supplies, having Scant quar-
ters for their own supplies of -cordage,
provisions, canvas and ships equipment.
1t is only because they can make the run
in daylight that any attempt is made to
be stored on the spar deck and with good
weather and daylight run will not sub
Jet them to any damage.
The relief measures are proving uneX-
pectedly successful, the supplies running
into the car loads and hundreds of tons.
The state department has had notice
from the Cuban relief committee at New
York that they shipped on March l from
New York to Santiago one hundred thous-
to Havana 5000 pounds; yesterday to Ma
tanZaS 100000 pounds and to Sagua La
Grande 100000 pounds. In these ship
ments are 100000 grains of quinine con-
signed to each of the ports except Ha-
vana.
Chairman Barton of the central Cuban
relief committee has advised the state de-
partment that donations are coming for
ward in great abundance, not only in
of provisions, from all directions. The
Oregon committee promises ten car loads
and possibly twenty; and Omaha, Mime
apOliS and other western committees are
offering shipments by the car load. We
had today upon the pier of the Manson
line nearly one hundred tons ready for
their steamer, sailing Friday, which they
had kindly offered to take to Matanzas

Halifax, N. S, March 4.-The steam
ship Maria RichmerS on her maiden
voyage from Bremen, February TO- for
Baltimore, with 160 steerage passen-
gers, and a general cargo, was tOwed
into this port today by the steamer Al
phia, with tail end shaft broken The
Maria Richmers is a craft of 4, 48O gross
tons. The accident occurred last Sun
day morning. At $50 a. m, an i'm
mense wave struck the vessel swapping
off the main shaft as far aft as the box
and rendering the steamer helpless.
About 7:30 the steamer Alpha hove in
sight and the captain of the Maria
Richmers signalled for assistance. Hal
flax being the nearest port, it was de-
cided to come here. The disabled boat
has an extra shaft on board and will
go into dock at once in order to effect
repairs.
The Maria Richmers' passengers who
are all bound for the western part Of
the United States will stay till the
steamer is repaired, going forward with

Captain Crowninshield had been called
in to discuss the matter of additional
men and apprentices, which have been
recommended.
In no sense, the secretary said, had

PROCTOR LEARNS SOMETHING.
Will Return With Material for Hot
Speech on Cuba.

Havana, March 4.-Senator Proctor
has seen much in a short time and
there is good authority for saying that
he will make the results of his observa-
tions known in a strong speech in the
senate on his return to Washington. At
Matanzas, Miss Barton and Senator
Proctor, under the guidance of United
States Consul Brice and Mr.. Givas, the
British vice consul saw extremes of
suffering they had never conceived pos
sible. Four persons died in one ward
while the party were there.
Senator Proctor was reticent on the
subject, but others of the party de-
clared that the whole east of the island
was under the control of General Max
limo Gomez. Senator Proctor, however,
went so far as to say to the correspond
ent of the Associated Press:
Certainly, a peculiar state of affairs
exists. A resident of Matanzas told me
that if I wished to correspond with
Gen. Gomez he would send my letter to
him and have an answer back in a
short time"
