HAS HELPED EMPoRIA.
Good Work the Santa Fe Is Doing
For That Town.
IFrom the Emporia Gazette.l


a successful business always has it's
enemies. and because the Santa Fe is
successful, it has lots Of them 1t is the
biggest thing in Emporia. Including the
mechanical and local departments, $50
men are at work here. Going through
the yards from the round house to the
depot you will see about twenty switch
men at work, moving trains. At the
depot you will find that eighteen chain
gang crews run out of EmpOria- Also
ten regular crews are running out of
here. Watching the board from the
eastern division, you will find that
about twenty-five train crews run here
from Argentine. Walking into Road
master Bradley's office, you will find
that he has employed all the laborers
he can get along the tracks. Go on up
the track and you come to the freight
house where a force of four men are
kept at work in the day time and five
at night. At the junction several more
men are employed. Do a little figuring
and you will find that the average on all
these mems salaries, taking all en-
ployes, goes a little over $50 a month
This summer, when the Pecos Valley
road is finished it will mean a great
deal more work for this division.
When the stock shipments start the
crews will be started from here and will
run with empty cars TO Wellington
They will pick up their loads at that
place and make the run back here next

Wife of 8 Prominent Wichita Mer-
chant in Distress in Kansas City.

Kansas City, April Ca woman who
gave her name as Emma Smith was
fined SO in the police court yesterday
for vagrancy She has been sick for
some time and the authorities wanted
to send her to the city hospital. She
objected because she was afraid she
would lose her mind. She told Judge
Burnham that-her mother is insane and
that she feared to be sent to the hospi-
tai lest her reason desert her.
The prisoner said she much preferred
the workhouse to the hospital, and she
was sent to the former institution for
20 days. She is the wife of a promi-
nent merchant of Wichita, Kan, and
in the police court she declined to tell
her true name She said her husband
drove her from home a few weeks ago
and threatened to kill her if she ever
made use of his name gain. She told
Judge Burnham that if she revealed
her true name she feared her husband
would carry his threats into execution.

day. Newton will be wholly passed in
the cattle freight business. When the
cattle reach here their twenty-eight
hours will be about out. The stockmen
will feed and water the stock. That
will mean fifteen more chain gang crews
on this division to handle this cattle
rush. 1t will mean more men in the
shops at this place to handle and re-
pair the machinery; it will mean more
men at the stock yards to handle the
cattle.
The Santa Fe Is becoming more to
Emporia every day. 1t would be a bet
ter thing if the business men of the
town would quit running down the
Santa Fe and brag on her a little. 1t
means at present about 1888 good month
