MAKE GOOD RECORDS.
Topeka Mail Clerks Submit to Sc
we're Test

Chief Clerk Naylor, of the railway
mail service, who has his headquarters
at ST Joseph, gave an examination in
routing mail to the mailing clerks in
the Topeka postoffice Wednesday. The
examination was given at the request
Of Postmaster Guthrie.
The examination covered postoffices
in Kansas, Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory. One thousand cards address,
ed to different postoffices in this ter
ritOry were given each of the clerks,
and the test came in sending each one
by the route that would take it to it's
destination in the least possible time
Sometimes the shortest routes in time
are very circuitOus in reality and are
consequently hard to remember. This is
especially true in the Indian Territory,
where there are a, great many star
routes which go overland to obscure Of
fees. The markings are made on the
number of mistakes made in sending
the cards by the shortest routes, and in
the speed with which they are distribu-
ted. Not one of the five mailing clerks
in the Topeka, office made less than SO
per cent on the examination.

WHO Is LIABLE?
Suit to Determine Who Must Make
Good a Grain Shortage.

A suit was begun in the district court
today by Kate Enrich against the
Santa Fe, which involves only a small
amount of money, but is of great inter
est to grain men as it involves the La
bility of railroads for shortages on
grain shipments.
The plaintiff claims to have shipped
666 bushels of wheat over the Santa Fe
from Lehigh, in Marion county, to To-
peka, but when the grain arrived here
there was only SIS bushels. The railroad
is sued for the value of the difference.
The question of shortages in grain
and responsibility for them is one that
has been much discussed by grain men
and is considered at every grain mems
meeting. For that reason suits involv-
ing the question will be watched with
interest by them.

JOCKEY RULED OFF.
Charged With Obtaining Money From
Woman Under False Pretenses.

Chicago, July 13.-Jockey Willie de
Long was ruled off the turf today by
Captain Rees, the presiding judge at
Hawthorne. An investigation of a. wo-
mans complaint that De Long obtained
$500 from her Monday at the track by
false representations led to Jockey
Johnson making an admission that De
Long approached him and offered him
money to pull Jack Hayes in the steeple-
chase.
De Long denies the charges. He says
the woman, who is known on many of
the western race tracks as the Ken
lucky mystery gave him the money to
bet on the race as he saw fit. He says
he asked Johnson if he was trying
and later, becoming convinced that Jack
Hayes would be beaten, had a book
maker lay off the money against the
horse.
De Long was a first class Jockey some
years ago and rode for a long time for
Ed COrrigan. He was ruled off the turf
about three years ago for pulling a
horse and was only recently reinstated.

The Railway Age presents a report On
the subject Of receiverships and fore
closures which it says shows ''smal-
Ter number OF railways placed in the
hands of receivers than in any six
months since railway insOlvencies be-
gan" Only one road of importance
confessed bankruptcy during the first
half Of 1s99-the Kansas City, Pittsburg
& Gulf company, with 1872 miles of line,
capital stock of $50, 925. 600 and bonded
debt of S22, 900. 900. OF this line the
Railways Age says that it was looked
upon as a desperate enterprise from the
start, as there are too many adverse
conditions to permit it to be an early
revenue Garner. The officers of the
company tried to fight their way to
recognition by cutting rates in all di-
rectiOns, in order to get traffic, but the
business they secured merely FASTENED
the inevitable. The magnitude of this
one failure has made the total mileage
and capital of stranded roads larger
than at the corresponding period of last
year, yet the record is one full of prom
Use.

AN OLD RELIC GONE
High Water Takes Out an Ell Dorado
Dam Built 25 Years Ago.


Ell Dorado, July 13.-The high waters
of last week took out another section
of the mill dam and the water would
no longer flow through the race even If
the gates were open. The great bodies
of water that have so long given the
appearance of good sized rivers to the
Walnut and West Branch have greatly
diminished and the beds of those
streams covered for a quarter of a cen
fury are again exposed to the light.
The mill dam, first and last, cost
probably S25. 600. When it was first
built the width of the stream was not
realized, the dam was made too short
and another section had to be added to
the east end. The same was true of the
bridge just below the dam. The dam has
always been a disappointment and
heavy expense. Section have gone out
with the floods many time; but worst
of all the flow Of the two streams hav-
Ing their confluence just above have so
often failed to supply water enough and
the power of the turbine had to be sup
plemented by steam. The old mill itself
first stood on North Main, at the West
Branch bridge across the street from
Burford Jeakins' residence, was moved
to it's present site by A. NJ Burdett
nearly 25 years ago. Burdett & Weeks
built the dam and for several years
were Ell DOrado's millers.
