The Reading Room Locations
Along the Santa Fe
Have Been Selected by the Rev.
s. E. Busser.
TO REPORT TO RIPLEY
The Locations Are ChiIIicOthe,
San BernadinO, Bagdad Needles,
Arkansas City, Newton, Argen-
tine, Temple and Cleburne.


Rev. S. E. Busser, superintendent of
reading rooms of the Santa Fe, has re-
turned from a tour of the system look
ing for proper locations to start reading
rooms and has gone to Chicago to re-
port to President Ripley.
The reading rooms have no connection
with those operated and maintained by
the r. r. Y. NJ. c. A, but will be con-
Quoted and maintained by the Santa Fe
railroad for the benefit of the men and
will be located, in many instances,
where there are no local Y. NJ. c. A.
rooms.
This is another of the Innovations in
railroading to be fostered by the man.
agement of the Santa Fe for the COM
fort and welfare of those in it's employ.
The following are the points where
the first reading rooms will probably be
located: Chillicothe. Mo-; San Ber-
nardino, Bagdad, and Needles, Cal. /;
Arkansas City, Newton and Argentine,
Kan; Temple and Cleburne, Tex.
Rev. S. E. Busser has full charge of
the reading room department and is an
excellent man for the place. He is we'll
known and well liked among the rail-
road men of the west, and has been
known in Kansas as 1.-The railroad
preacher" for when the services of a
minister are required by railroad men
he is often requested to oificiate and
never refuses, no matter how long or
tireSOme the trip.

FIRE AT KANSAS CITY.
Four Firms Damaged by Flames and
Water.

Kansas City, Feb. 2.-Fire broke out
in the two-story brick building which
extends from Delaware to Wall on the
south side of Seventh street at noon
yesterday, and, though the flames did
little damage and were soon eXtinguish-
ed, the stocks of w. D. Thornburrow,
fancy hardware; B. Haas, wholesale
and retail cigars; w. T. Osborne & Co,
electrical supplies, and the Morrin-
Powers Mercantile company were con-
siderably damaged by smoke and wa
ter.
The blaze started in a small room on
the first floor used as a repair shop in
the rear part of Thornburrow's estab-
1isment, and when the department ar
rived was eating through the partition
walls. Three streams of water were
turned on and the flames quickly put
out the fire, but the smoke continued to
pour out in great volume and the wa
the Osborne Electrical company had its
$50, 900 worth of wine and champagne,
belonging to the Morrin-Powers COM
pany, is stored.
On the second floor of the building is
the cloak and shirt waist factory of Bell
& Teasdale, in which 20 girls were sew
ing when the fire broke out They
knew nothing of it until streams of
thick smoke came up through the floor
and almost instantly filled the room.
But there was no panic. The foreman
simply told the young women to get out
in a quiet, orderly manner, and this
thew did.

CONCERNING PENSIONS.
Congressman Botkin Cites Some of the
Difficulties He Meets.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
1 should like space in your valuable
paper in which to submit a few mat
terS of interest to the old soldiers OF
our state. The pension bureau seems
more than ever to be studying how not
to do it. This increased rigOr may be
due to the fact that the administra-
tion's pension policy was strongly en-
dorsed and the Grand Army criticisms
of that policy as Soundly rebuked at the
November election. However that may
be the old veterans and their widows
seem to have lost hope of securing JUS
tice in the pension bureau, and many
of them are asking us to introduce
special bills in congress for their re-
lief
That such action would be useless is
apparent to all who are acquainted with
the situation. We have had but fifteen
Friday night pension sessions thus far
during the Fifty-fifth congress, and
none at all during this winters session.
although house rule &c requires us to
hold such session every Friday night.
This accounts for the fact that of many
| thousands of private pension bills in
| troduced during the Fifty-fifth congress
| only a few hundred have been acted
| upon.
| 1t should be understood that these
| bills must be considered and acted upon
| by the committee before they can be
considered in the house.
No meeting of the invalid pensions
| committee has thus far been called this
| winter, and the prospect is that it will
have no meetings. In this case no more
| bills can be acted upon except the few
now on the house calendar that were
reported favorably by the committee
| in the last session and not yet acted
| upon by the house. Soldiers should
bear in mind also that all bills intro
/ duced during a term of congress and
not passed, die with that term of con-
gress.
That soldiers may understand all the
| conditions that must be complied with
| in order to get favorable action upon a
! private pension bill there are certain
rules adopted December 13, 1898, by the
| senate commission on pensions. These
/ rules govern the actions of the invalid
/ pensions committee of the house and
will be sent on application. Yours truly,
| J. D. BOTKIN.
