and rendered in payment for coal and
numerous small articles piIfered from
time to time from the company at diff
ferent places while employed by the
company several years ago.
a couple of years ago I was con-
verted, and I am convinced that re-
pentance to be acceptable in the sight
of God must be accompanied by resti-
tuition, and so determined to make right
all wrongs as far as possible; hence
this remittance. Please acknowledge
receipt.
I have one request to make in con-
nectiOn with this. I have frequently
noticed in newspapers accounts of in
stances similar to this. 1 would prefer
to avoid notOriety as much as possible. -

We found a neat and tidy car with
cooking arrangements complete. A
S1nall cooking stove is attached to the
heaUlng stove, and here is where the
boys do their cooking. They have places
OF closets where they keep their pro-

market affords. Meals are served at
regular hours while on the road, an IN
common practice for railroad men
brakeman Mclaughlin mo relation to
the conductor), is the principal cook,
and he has the reputation of getting up
a good meal A short time ago the ole
OIeson troupe, whose car was being
carried by this fast freight train from
Newton to Dodge City, in charge of
conductor Mclaughlin, felt the pangs
OF munger before reaching the eating
station, and appealed to the trainmen
for relief
Conductor Mclaughlin said if they
were willing to eat what his cookery de-
partment afforded, his brakeman could
serve them The troupe pronounced the
meal served on the cabOose the most
enjoyable one they had had in a long
time.
The cost of the three men is about $40
or $l1 month, though they are not on
the road more than half the time In
leaving home at an unreasonable hour
the trainmen prepare their meals on the
car at the proper time, and thus their

THIS GRoUNDHoG MISSING.
Engineer Finn Did Not See His Old
Friend Near chatham Greek.

Engineer Dan Finn, who pulls 113 and
ia between Topeka and Kansas City,
has seen a ground hog on the second
of February each year for the past four
years until the last anniversary of the
date. When passing a certain small
mound west of Chairman creek on the
date given he has seen the ground hog
sitting there as if to welcome him and
to forecast a bad, dreary spring.
When Finn pulled into Topeka on
ground hog day Pat Sherman said:
Did you see the ground hog, DAMP"
mo, but perhaps I will on my trip
back this afternoon" replied Dan.
He made the trip back to Kansas
City but no hog. There was the mound
and there was the hole but the king of
the castle was away.
Il did not see a hair of him" said
Finn when he pulled into Topeka the
next day, but perhaps he made mis-
take in the date and will be out to-
morrow but he was not and now Finn
will wait until 1899 and viii see if he
has gone back on him for good and aye.

Passes Through Topeka Says Mexi-
co is in Flourishing Condition
A A. Robinson, president of the Mex
lean Central, formerly at the head of
the Santa Fe management, passed
through this city yesterday afternoon
escOrting a company of eastern CAPT
talists to Old Mexico. The party was
Joined at this city by JOab Mulvane-
The purpose of the trip was not reveal
ed and Mr.. Robinson SteadfaStly re-
fused to discuss it. Mr.. Mulvane was
equally reticent about the matter. The
firmness with which Mr.. Robinson and
the other members of the party refused
to discuss the object of the trip has
given rise TO the rUmor that a big deal
of some character is afOOt-
In discussing the condition of affairs
in Mexico, Mr.. Robinson said that eve
rything was very prosperous down
there, more so than in this country. He
said that Mexico is developing her re-
sources, and is forging to the front in
every way very rapidly.
When asked the cause of the general
prosperity in Mexico, Mr. Robinson was
quick to see the drift of the correspond
ent's questions and for some reason,
his manner, which had before been very
free and easy, changed, and he became
very reticent-
.'Oh. we have a great country down
there" he replied, evasively.
What effect does free silver have on
the business of MexicO2'' he was asked

THAT FA1RvIEw TUNNEL.
Santa Fe Will Not Blast it Out But
Build Solid Missionary Wall

Advices received at the office of Cen
eral Manager Frey in this city state
that the force of WOrkmen at the Fair
view tunnel near Williams, Ariz, are
at last able to make Roadway in the
repair of the tunnel, and that it is ex-
pected the line will be open to traffic bv
the middle of next week
Mr.. James Dun. chief engineer of the
Santa Fe, went to Fairview tunnel this
week, and after consulting with the en-
gineers then on the ground it was de-
cided that instead of attempting to
blast out the tunnel a solid wall of ma
sorry should be built. Consequently
the Workmen are now engaged in clear
ing out the debris, and supporting the
sides and upper wall with heavy tim
bers. As soon as the debris is cleared
away ana the timbers in place, new
track will be laid and traffic Resumed.
The masonry work can be done after
ward.
The repair Of the tunnel will relieve
the Santa Fe system of an enormous
expense.

ELECTRICITY TOO COSTLY.
Gould Be Used as a Motive Power
Only on Short Branch Lines.

Pittsburg, Feb. 5-EIectric motors, it
is seni-OfficiaIly announced by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company, will be
used this summer to run the Is minute
trains between Philadelphia and At
Iantic City.
Numerous experiments have been
made by railroad officials generally, and
they say if electricity is ever adopted
as a railroad motive power, it will have
to be on a short road, where the trains
run close together.
For over two years has the PennsyI-
vania Railroad company been expert
menting with electricity as a motive
power for its side lines, but short time
ago it decided against the overhead
trolley system.
The claim was made that the method
would prove too costly, and that it only
could be utilized on short run roads,
where trains were from 10 to 20 minutes
apart.

FAMINE IN RUSSIA.
Failure of Crops in the Interior Causes
Distress Among the Peasantry.

London, Feb. 5.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Times says:
A failure in the harvest has caused
terrible distress among the peasantry
of the interior provinces, especially in
central and southeastern Russia. In
some places they are worse off than
during the famine of 1891. The Rus
sian editors have been forbidden to re-
fer to the matter. Private letters from
Tamboff, in the province of that name,
southeast of Moscow, say that peas
