NEW INTERVIEWING PLANT
Santa Fe Puts the Emporia Machinery
in Motion-Cost $4,000.

Emporia, Jan. 23.-The new west end
interlocking plant has gone into opera
ton. At noon Saturday Jim Darling,
former conductor took charge of the.
levers. He expects to hold the job until
able to go on his car. A former brake
man from Newton will work at night.
The plant was ready for use at $3.50 in
the morning, but the official order plac-
ed it in operation at IL o'clock. Last
fall the carpenters of the signal depart
ment built the tower but the machinery
did not go in until about three weeks
ago. Then a gang of signal construc-
tors came here from Oklahoma City to
finish the job There are ten levers,
three of which control the five switches
including the derail. The rest are con-
nected with the signals. The operator
at the tower controls everything at the
west end, including the stockyards
track This insures safety, does away
with the trouble to brakemen and
switchmen and saves much time. The
plant cost about SO, 900. The construc-
tors will go from here over on the cut
off to put up some three-position block
signals.

CHANCE FOR THE ALMIDA.
Fears For Her Safety Have Been
Slightly Allayed.

New York, jan 23.-Considerab1e COM
ment is being made among shipping
men as to the whereabouts of the Brit
ish freight steamer A1mida, which has
been out 35 days from Shields for New
York. She sailed from Shields on De-
cember 10 on her way from Hamburg
for New York in ballast and was re-
ported passing Dunnet Head, Scotland,
on December 81. Since then nothing has
been heard OF her. The weather on the
Atlantic has been so bad that there was
good reason to believe she may have
gone to the bottom but when the steam
er Britannia came into port last week Sc
days out from Shields, it aroused the
hope that the Almida had a chance yet.
The Almida is a staunch steel vessel of
1,542 tons.

BOUGHT THE WAREHOUSES;
Boston Capitalists to Give SO, 100000
for a Havana Property.

New York, Jan. 23.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: Bos-
ton capitalists are said to have made an
offer of So, 500 900 Spanish gold for the
San Jose warehouses and wharVeS. The
offer is in writing and Colats & Co., the
agents Of the property, are reported as
satisfied with the financial responsible
ty of the parties making it. They are
expected in Havana on Wednesday.
The original offer was for a long time
lease but this was refused. Some exist
ing leases have to be arranged in max
ing the sale. Plans which had been
formed for renting the warehouses sep
arately, have been abandoned, because
of the probable sale of the entire prop
erty. The docks have nearly half a
mile of water front. The warehouses
are of structural steel. The other wa
ter frontage and docks are the property
of the Havana municipality. There are
large sugar warehouses across the bay
at Regla, but they have not the same
value as the property on the city side
of the harbor. Most of the importing
houses have direct trackage with the
San Jose warehouses. The parties MAX
ing the offer are credited with various
plans but until the transfer is actually
carried out these will not be disclosed.
General Ludlow and Colonel Black
who is supervising the engineering work
here, have under consideration a pro-
position submitted by the syndicate
which controls the street railways. The
company wants to begin the work of
changing to electricity without delay.
The military authorities at first favored
the underground system similar to that
which is operated in Washington, but
this proved to be impractical BILE, owing
to conditions which obtain in Havana
during tropical rains. The authorities
are now willing to permit trolleys, but
want the double overhead system. The
company's representatives say this is
also impracticable and want permission
for single overhead trolley. The mat
ter will be decided soon.
A case of yellow fever has developed

Topeka a few years ago to be instruc-
tive as to Indian life and conditions as
well as being a "hair-raiser."
Red Eagles English name is George
W. Arnold. He is of Iroquois descent,
and is well educated His lecture in
Topeka will be delivered in the First
congregational church this evening I'M
der the auspices of the Young Peoples
society.
Arnold was in Topeka a year ago and
talked on the streets of Topeka, wearing
his feather headgear and Indian dress.
He was then working for the American
Volunteers, but he has given up that
work. He says they wanted all the
cream" He has also clipped off his
long, flowing hair, has been married
and has become otherwise civilized.

Salt Lake. Utah, Jan. BE. D. H.
Perry, Jr., the state senator who voted
for Mrs. Martha Hughes Cannon for
United States senator, gives his reason
for so doing as follows:
-Marth Hughes Cannon, although the
plural wife of George Q. Cannon's
brother, is, in my opinion, thoroughly
competent for the office of United States
senator. She has served as a member
of our state senate for two years with
credit, deserves promotion and is en-
titled to the promotion She is repre-
sentative Democratic woman of the
state; her labors for the success of
Democracy, have been indefatigable.
She is public speaker of ability. She
as.oultured, independent and a physician
of recognized standing.

again if sufficient members of the legis-
lature would join me to insure her cleo
ton.

Brussels, Jan. 23.-There has been
fresh fighting in the Congo state be-

the former having sustained heavy
losses, including some white officers
killed. La Patriotic says:
1.-The real truth as to the situation in
the Congo state is being hidden. The
losses of the Congo state troops of late
have been much understated here. The
whole country is in a ferment, and the
rebellion is not being put down. The
government troops appear to fear the

Although there are different opin-

orchard needs, I believe that thor

food available, but is the best COLI

both moisture and fertilizers, but
more often moisture. AS the heaviest
rainfall usually occurs when it is at
least needed, every effort should be
made to preserve it for future use.
A finely divided soil is capable of
holding Oh immense quantity of water.
If the soil is left to its natural con-

away, but by bresking up the surface
at regular intervals, evaporation will
be prevented and the moisture largely
retained. Plow deeply in spring as
