John Boyer, Klondike sa1oonkeeper,
Says Bluff Is About Over.


Klondike. Near Soldiers Home, Leav-
enworth. kan, Sept ., 1889.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
A Leavenworth dispatch to the To-
peka Capital last Monday had the right
ring The people will know all about
this KIondike matter after a while The
effort to make it political was a bad
break To show you that know ex-
me to quote the Wholesalers and Re
taiIers' Review, to-wit: There is no
political party in Kansas big enough
to undertake the job of enforcing the
prohibftory law So say I and every
trade paper in the Union, and woe be-
tide the party that dares to try it.
Stanley and CTOdard's effort to shift
the responsibility onto others is
dismal failure. That is what comes
of listening to the Mail and Breeze,
and the sensati Leavenworth
piece of a lot of old women and preach
ers against the kIondike. Their plan to
locaIize the application of the law to
Delaware township showed their asinin-
ity and now that we propose. if this
thing is ever set in motion. to make To-
peka, Wichita and Leavenworth take
their medicine the refOrn1ers subside-
It seems that public sentiment at the
CAPITAL is growing more liberal and
that prohibition is on the wane This
is perhaps true all over the state when
YOU sound the people. OF course the
preachers viii pray a little louder and
the churches pass a few more ringing
resolutions. but 1t viii stop there No
body is ready to turn the state over to
the prohibition party and the cold wa
ter cranks- Even the W c. T. L. and

VANDERBILT ENGINE
One Designed by Cornelius Is Pro-
nounced a Success

New York. Sept 4.-The locomotive
designed by Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr-,
and built under his supervision at the
Albany shops of the New York Central
and Hudson River railroad has proved
even more satisfactory than was antici-
pated by the inventor. The principal
advantage claimed for the new engine
was in the Cheapness of maintenance.
Mr. Vanderbilt said today that he was
greatly pleased with the behavior Of
his locomotive
1t is in regular service on the Mo-
hawk division now he said 1t was
put in the passenger service last Tues
day. having stood the umbering-up
trials of pulling freight trains salts
factOriIy.
1T has been found. too. that the new
engine is q remarkably good steamer,
better than the old type
NO accidents have occurred and
nothing beyond the ordinary umbering-
up jars has occurred
It is found that the new engine. on
account of the greater heating surface
of its boiler, due TO its cylindrical form,
easily runs the steam pressure up be-
yOnd the ordinary mark On one of
its trips the safety valves were set at
$50 pounds, and the steam pressure was
soon up to 1875 pounds
In an ordinary engine the steam can
only be run up to about seven pounds
above the safety valve limit

PROOF IN TOPEKA.
Should Be Decidedly More Con-
vincing to Topeka People Than
Proof From Utter Strangers.

The statement which follows, like all
that have preceded 1t on this subject.
is from Topeka 1t is not from some
distant corner OF the Union. Topeka
people cannot finch from testimony
like this.
Mr.. Henry Page. No. 302 East Fourth
street, a resident of Topeka for twenty
years, says: a five weeks attack Of
grippe left me as il does many others,
with q weakness of the kidneys The
pain across the loins and the trouble
with the kidney secretions. particularly
noticea bic at night. were. TO say the
least annoying. and thought If Deans
Kidney Pills performed half what they
promised, the treatment might help
me. I procured a box at RowIey &
Shows drug store, corner of Sixth street
and Kansas avenue, and took it The
treatment was very satisfactory. To
say I endorse Doan's Kidney Pills is a.
mild way of expressing my opinion Of
that remedy

dealers, price soc per box. or mailed on
receipt Of price by Foster-Milburn Co,

NOW a CLAIM ATTORNEY.
Why the Santa Fe Abolishes Office of
General Freight Agent

In aboIishing the Office of general
freight agent. the Santa F'e company
follows the lead taken by many of the
larger railroads of the country These
roads have no longer general claim
agents, and the work of the claim de-
partuent is in charge of a claim attor-
ney. This is the way II Will be in fu-
1ure on the Santa Fe-
The reason for placing an attorney
at the head Of the claim department is
obvious. In the settlement of two
thirds of the claims made against a
railroad the matter has to be referred
to an attorney for an opinion before
definite action is taken Instead of Mr.
Ryus referring claims to Mr.. J. D. NJ
Hamilton for opinions. the claims will
now come to Mr. Hamilton direct and
there viii be no second handling.

NARROW ESCAPE
Exciting Story Told by a Missouri
Pacific Engineer.

Engineer Burtin of the Missouri Pa
cific tells the following story of an &C
currence last week via Atchison:
I was making up a few minutes lost
time coming through Han station.
Steaming south was Burlington
freight, and I noticed two little girls
come on the track only a few yards in
front of me. Just as the Burlington
passed. Instead of crossing the track.
to my horror they started down the
track right in front of my engine. I
saw at once that they evidently didn't
know of their peril I reversed my en-
CINE and clapped down brakes as quick
" as possible. but when the train
stopped the locomotive was almost
onto the children When they caught
the screech of the whistle, one of the
girls gave a scream and a bound from
the track. gong headlong down an en-
bankment into the mud The other lit
tie girl coolIy stepped TO one side and
waited for the train to pull OUT
