Already the Lake Shore, the Michigan

of consolidation is being worked out.

TO LEAVE FEDERATION.
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen in
Colorado Decide to Go Alone.

Colorado Springs, June 2S-The Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen has de-
cided to withdraw from the State Fed
Grafton of Labor owing to a resolution
adopted at the annual meeting of the
latter body last week pledging all
affiliated bodies to quit work on orders
from the executive committee.
The Denver lodge of trainmen dislike
to put such power in an outside or
ganizatiOn and voted to withdraw. All
trainmen in the state will vote upon
the question at their next meeting. The
trainmen have a large membership in
the state and have lodges in every rail-
road town of consequence, such as
Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Trinidad, Sa-
Ida, Leadville. and other places. The
withdrawal of this mem bership would
be a serious loss to the federation in
the state and might mark the beginning
of an exodus of other organizations not
in sympathy with the radicalism dis
played in the convention.

COL. BELL SURPRISED.
His Fellow Clerks of the Santa Fe
Present Him With Ring.

Col. Bell of the treasury department
of the Santa Fe, is the proud possesSor
of very beautiful seal ring, the gift of
his fellow associates in the treasury Of
flee. AS Mr.. Bell was preparing to
leave for home last evening. he was
surrounded by all the office force with
Mr.. Fred Scott as spokesman, who in
appropriate words asked Col. Bell to
accept the ring as a, slight token of the
high esteem which they had for him.
Col. Bell was thoroughly surprised at
this unexpected gift, and could hardly
make answer to his friends to show
how deeply he appreciated their re-
membrance.
Col. Bell has been garnishment clerk
for the Santa Fe for many years and
the close confinement to his duties is
now beginning to tell on his health and
he finds it is necessary that he must
take a much needed and well earned
rest which he now begins.

Hasn't Had an Accident or Been Late
For q Whole Month.

Readers of the Journal can well re-
member many narrow escapes and how
much bad luck the fast mail train used
to experience. Bad luck seemed to lie
in wait for the train and delighted in
tying it up in all sorts of predicaments.
Hardly a day passed that some new
piece of ill luck was not added to it's
already large list. From the time the
train started until it stopped, the Off
Gals waited breathlessly for the re-
ports from the train, expecting most
anything bad but hoping and praying
for the best
To enumerate it's entire list of casual
ties, would take too long. A few Of
them will suffice. At one time it struck
and killed six horses; result, a damage
suit. 1t was in several wrecks; result,
property destroyed and travel delayed.
1t was invariably behind time; result
passengers mad and general confusion.
And finally what seemed to be a mirac-
ulOus performance and escape, it lost
one of the big drive wheels off of the
engine and came into the depot on
three wheels and would have probably
continued on its way to Newton, had
not Depot Master Pat Sherman called
the engineers attention to the fact that
there was a wheel missing
Truly this train was a caution 1t
was peculiar to itself. people began
to be SuperStitiOus about it. Some were
even afraid to ride on it, while others
said, TN risk it," and so between the
two the company managed to keep 1t
running on a fair paying basis.
Finally the company was almost
tempted to take it off but as they had
a contract to carry Uncle Sans mail
and as Uncle Sam is a very particular
fellow about his mail, why, accidents
or no accidents" the company said,

Enough of the dark side of the fast

of luck. The spell of i'll luck has been
broken and for one whole month it's

F11RrED WITH A scAREcRow.
Some Giddy Railroad Boys Have
Foolish Experience.

''Some of the trainmen on the Valley
branch were given the marble heart
the other day. says the Solomon Sen
tinel.
1T seems that some of them have
formed a habit of waving their hats and
shouting in musical tones to women who
would happen to be out in the gardens
at the different farm houses along the
line. Last Tuesday, as the train was
going up the branch one of the crew
espied a veritable Maud Muller in the
orchard of one of the country homes.
He bowed and tipped his hat, he waved
it and yelled, he whistled, but the lady
seemed to be devoid of the proverbial
feminine curiosity and never once
turned around. One of the other men,
confident that his charms could not
be resisted, Joined his efforts with those
of his friend, with the same result. 1t
was determined to ascertain who the
sweet young thing was and upon in
vestigation it was found that the men
had been trying to f1irt with-a scare
crow put up to brighten the birds away
from the cherry trees.

IFrom the Wichita Beacon.1
Owing to dull business the Santa F'e
has decided to cut down it's force of en-
gineers at Emporia. At that point the
Oklahoma and Cottonwood divisions
consolidate and the cut should have APP
piled equally to each division. AS the
matter now stands, six Oklahoma en-
gineers will be sent back to firing and
the firemen pushed back six notches in
seniority.
Four of the six engineers, who have
been designated as those whom the ak
will decapitate.- will move to this city
and take preferred runs on the Engle
wood and Wichita and Western di-
visions. They are: Engineers Kreit-
Tnier, WillOughby Harrup and Bender.
The Oklahoma men at Emporia are mad.
They claim, with reason, that the cut
should have applied equally to the two
divisions. They assert the Cotton
wood men worked the 'rabbit-fOOt' on
them and schemed to get the cut made
wholly on the Oklahoma. men. The
case is now before the head officers at
Topeka.
