SCENTS THE FRAY
Senator Hanna Longs to Engage
In Ohio Fight.
viii Leave London Saturday
For America.
TO BATTLE M'LEAN.
Says the Democrats VIII Make
Their ShibbOIeth
Anti-ExpansiOn and Free Silver
Ignores Trusts.

London, Sept. 5-Rejuvenated by
course of treatment at German baths
United States Senator Hanna has re-
turned to London for a few days rest,
previous to sailing for the United
States on board the American line
steamer St. Louis on Saturday next
Senator Hanna is hurrying to Ohio to
participate in the opening of the Re
publican campaign at Akron.
From a conversation with Senator
Hanna the correspondent here Of the
Associated Press gathered that the zest
with which the senator is looking for
ward to the conflict in Ohio is due to
the fact that he recognizes that the
coming campaign will not only furnish
the real answer to the question of the
country's endorsement Of the national
administration but behind the candl-
dacy of Mr. John r. Mclean Tor the
governorship of Ohio there is an aspir-
alton for the second place on the Dem
ocratic presidential ticket with Mr.
Bryan, and failing Of election, a future
contest for the United States senator
ship from Ohio. In such a competition
Mr.. Hanna is anxious to participate
because it means the opening OF the
national campaign of 1900.
Il do not concede," Mr.. Hanna said,
that the congressional election in the
late Representative BIand's district in
Missouri last week affords any test or
American sentiment in relation to na-
tionaI issues, for the election Of a Dem
ocrat was a foregOne conclusion, and
the fact that the Democrats are calling
it a test case gives ground for the sus-
picion that they made the majority to
suit themselves. In Ohio, however we
have an opportunity tC make an open
fight; and 1 am anxious to assist all in
my power in bringing the issue to a
successful conclusion The Republican
party nationally and locally has no
cause to fear the combat on issues as
now presented. Mr. Mclean has un-
doubtedly loaded his double barrelled
fowling piece; and that word has a pc
culiar Ohio meaning; for in this contest
he is looking both to the vice presiden-
cy and the United States senatorship
which I understand has long been his
ambition. 1t is evident now that the
Democrats of Chic as we'll as Of the
nation are ready to make the issue anti
expansion and free silver"

UP IN A BALLOON.
Odd Conception of Jack Henshaw to
Save His Little Chicks.

Jack Henshaw, the chicken fancier
of the shops, is again having lots of
trouble with his little chickens. For
some reason his old hens seem to be
extremely awkward and after spend
ing three weeks in Matching out a par
ticularly fine brood of chicks, will kill
off half of them by unnecessarily step
ping on them. He has tried several
schemes to avoid this, but still his
chicken yard is being depOpulated at
an alarming rate. First he tied red
pieces of cloth to the little chicks hop
ing to scare the old hens SO that they
would not get too near them, but this
did not work. Then he put the little
ones on stills, but they had to be fed
off of a box and this was some trouble,
and frequently they would get down on
their backs and were unable to get on
their stills again. 1t took all of Jacks
spare time to keep them right side up
with care.
But he has at last hit upon a plan to
do the work and it is working like Il
charm. He has procured a quantity of
small toy balloons These he fills with
gas until they will almost bear up the
weight Of the little chick to which it is
tied Then he adjusts these balloons
by a suspender like arrangement to
the chicks and the balloon does the
rest. Now for instance to illustrate:
The old hen approaches the chickens,
and they see that they are in imminent
danger of being stepped on. All they
have to do is to give a little hop into
the air and the balloon lifts them I'D
safely on the other side. In addition
to being a means of safety, the balloons
are rapidly coming into favor with the
chickens as q, means of amusement, and
it is no uncommon matter at any time
to visit the chicken yard and see
dozen or more little chicks at time,
hopping into the air and soaring around
with all the pleasures of an experienced
aerOnaut.
OF course there are several sides to
this business. The balloons must be
watched carefully lest they become de-
hated, and possibly two or more of the
chicks may get entangled, but even
with this amount of work and worry,
it does not compare with what it was
before the adoption of the balloon lifts
Another thing, the chicken yard is ex-
periencing a reaction. Instead of be-
coming depopulated, it is fast filling
up, for the neighbors' chickens. seeing
the advantage of the balloons, will not
/ stay at home but come over to Jacks
yard and try to hop around and enjoy
the same privileges as his chicks. and
was 1t not for Jacks honesty, he could
reap harvest It will be an afternoon
well spent and full of fun to visit Jacks
chicken yard and watch the funny
maneuvers Of the little chickens.

ALONG THE CENTRAL BRANoH

In order to facilitate the growing
business, the Rock Island have COM
pIeted another 600-foot switch in Lee
banOn.
The Central Branch boys are tell
ing this corn story on George NJ. Will
son, who is agent for the Missouri Pa
cifc at Downs: He says the corn tops
in his field near Downs are funnel
shaped, pointing down. They grew full
of corn, but the wind rocked them
to and fro so much that it 81 Ound them
into meal. A late rain wet the pulver-
lied corn in the funnel SHAPED tops to
such an extent and with a scOrching
sun the contents of several funneis
were baked into corn bread.
Charley Styles, of Atchison, west
ern passenger agent of the Missouri
Pacific, didn't let many of the old vet
Grams and visitors to Philadelphia get
away from him. His road did the larg-
est business from north, central and
northwestern Kansas by three to one.
He is the most popular fellow on the
Missouri Pacific system and while he
has been filing his job for the last
twenty-five years to the entire satisfac-
tiOn Of the management of that road,
his friends throughout the north and
west half of Kansas want to see him
promoted to a more lucrative Office.
The new division round house fore
man of the Missouri Pacific road at
Downs is VIM. StrettOn, formerly of the
Rock Island. at PhiIlipsburg. He has
had years of experience in this work,
and will be a valuable acquisition to
the central I3ranch force at the Downs
division terminus. He succeeds A. L.
Durham, who resigns his job after
holding it ten years to accept a better
position in the AtchisOn machine shops.
Nate Maher of Downs, for many
years conductor on the Central Branch,
and known as Uncle Nate Maher from
one end of that road to the other, is
reported to have struck it rich in the
southwest Missouri zinc deposits.
There is already a scarcity of cars
to haul off the wheat along the Cen
trail Branch. What will it be when
this years corn crop commences to
move.

Promotion of JAS. Dun of the
Santa Fe
Is One Of the Results of the
appointment of j. NJ. Barr.
1T WAS BY HIS WISH.
Greatly to His Advantage In
Handling His Work.
w. B. Storey Who Comes From
San Joaquin Is Competent.

The promotion of Mr.. James Dun,
chief engineer of the Santa Fe, to be
consulting engineer of the entire Santa
Fe system, and his transfer from To-
peka to Chicago, as announced in the
State Journal Monday, is one of the re-
suits of the appointment of Mr.. J. NJ.
Barr as third vice president of the
road. Mr.. Barr has charge of the op
Grating department of the whole sys-
tenn, work which has never been looked
after exclusively by one man before,
and it is greatly to his advantage in
handling this branch of railroad service
to have the head of the engineering de-
partment with him in chicago
While Mr.. Dun has supervised - a
certain extent all engineering work on
the Santa Fe system lines for some
time, he has also devoted the most Of
his time to work on the Santa Fe
proper. This has made his duties hard
for several years, and with additional
consulting work it would be impossible
for him to particularly look after the
affairs of the parent line.
Mr.. w. B. Storey, jr., who has been
named as chief engineer of the Santa
Fe proper, has been chief engineer and
general superintendent of the San
Francisco & San Joaquin Valley line
for the past two years and is a COM
petent man. Arrangements were made
for his removal to Topeka when Presi-
dent Ripley and Vice President Barr
were IN California ten days ago.
Mr.. c. d. Purdon, who has been as
sistant chief engineer for several years,
would have been the natural successor
of Mr.. Dun as head of the engineering
department here

ENGINEER DISCHARGED.
Charles Sanborn Admits Response
bility of a Wreck-Was Worn
Out With Work.

Wichita, Sept. 5.-Engineer Charles
Sanborn of Winfield, was discharged
yesterday from the service of the San
ia Fe on account of being responsible
for a wreck in the Santa Fe yards at
Winfield last week.
A westbound Southern Kansas freight
train and a Santa Fe switch engine,
hauling a number of cars, cOllided on
the Southern Kansas Y and one engine
and a number of cars were wrecked.
No one was injured, as the engineers
saved their lives by jumping. Super
intendent Barnes ordered an investiga-
tion, but SanbOrn went to him and told
him that he alone was responsible for
the wreck. AS Sanborn shouldered all
the blame. it was necessary to dis
charge him.
He says that he was tired out, having
worked night and day for some time,
and did not realize the danger until it
was too late. His actions in shoulder
ing the blame. has challenged the ad-
Iniration of the officials and every ef-
fort will be made to reinstate him.

TWO LARGEST ENGINES.
The Illinois Central Will Use Them
For Hill Service In Kentucky.

Carbondale, Ill Sept 5.-RaiIroad circles
are discussing an experiment now about
to be tried on the division south from
this city in the way of freight service.
The Illinois Central has lately purchased
two monster engines for the purpose OF
hauling freight over the hilly sections of
the system between CarbOndale and Full
ton, Ky. The two engines. which go into
service this week, are claimed to be the
two largest in active service in the world.
They weigh each 325,0 600 pounds, or more
than 162 tons. The engines are guaran-
teed to pull 1000 tons, or 100 car loads of
10000 pounds to the car. This guarantee
particularly applies to the section of the
magnitude of the work they are expected
to do can better be understood when an
average train. with two engines attach
ed draws sixty loaded cars into Carbon
dale from the south.
The boilers of these two leviathans are
feet inches in diameter. and will stand
20 pounds of steam; the pressure on the
average engine being 1G5 pounds. The fire
boxes are Il feet long and 3 feet 6 inches
wide. There are 410 fues , inches in dia-
meter in each boiler The cylinders will
each be % inches in diameter and 80
inches long.
The section of the road over which they
run has grades which run high 40
feet to the mile, interspersed with degree
curves. The line also includes the fam
Gus railroad bridge over the Ohio at Cairo,
III.
These engines are larger by forty-three
tons than those lately put on the service
of the Burlington route, and also larger
by sixty tons than those on the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern railroads.

RACES AT YONKERS.
Fifteen Thousand Spectators at the
Empire City Trotting Club Opening.

Fifteen Thousand spectators at the
Empire City Trotting Club Opening.
New York, Sept 5.-The first grand
circuit meeting of the Empire City
TrOtting club began under the most
auspicious condition Labor day. The
weather was perfect and the magnifi-
cent new track near YOnBers was fast
er than. ever any new track was known
to be before. Fifteen thousand specta-
tors were on hand when the bell rang
for the first race, the 2:i5 pace for
which there were eight starters. The
bay stallion Billy Andrews was a hot
faVoPite at about to I, and he won in
straight heats. In the second heat
there was a magnificent race for second
place. Billy Andrews was so far ahead
that he attracted no interest, but
Johnny Agan, Darrell and Free Bond
came down the stretch like a team and
raised the entire grand stand. and it
was only just at the wire that Agan
won the place by an eye-lash.
The free for all stallion purse for
$4,000 brought together eight of the best
campaignerS of the season The ceIe-
brated crack Bingen sold at 2 to 1
over the field, though the best judges
backed Cresceus, the game and speedy
son of Robert McGregor. Cresceus
landed both heats with the greatest
ease. Charley Herr was the contending
horse Bingen was a sad disappoint-
ment, as he broke badly in each heat
getting the flag in the second heat.
The 2:1S pace brought a field of eight
forward and the talent plunged on Ed
ward s. He made a sorry show for
the first heat, the four-year-oI old geld
ing, Oscar L., by Alcantara. going to
the front and winning cleverly. In the
second heat the favOrite woke up and
led all the way to the finish, with Os-
car L. a close second. In the third heat
Edward S. led to the distance stand
with Belle Cannon, while Oscar L.
came with a determined rush and the
two leaders going into the air, Oscar l.
Won the heat and the race
In the 2:20 trotting class the bay
stallion Owyhee was the favorite at 100
to 60 on. He won as he pleased.
