FIGHT FOR TRAFFIC.
Railroad Agents Making a Lively
Contest For Passenger Traffic
to G. A. R. Encampment

Beloit, Aug 26.-There is a lively
scramble going on here among the rail-
road men as to who is going to have
the big pull for passenger trade to
Philadelphia and other eastern cities
during the national encampment of the
C. A r.
In the last few days representatives
of the Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific
Chicago & Alton, the Pennsylvania
lines. Rock Island, B. & o. S. w, Santa
F'e and other lines have been in Beloit
in the interests of their roads, and have
worked hard to secure the business for
their respective lines. A number of Be
lott people want to go on the excur-
sion, but most of them are holding Off
hoping there will be a great cut and
slash in the present advertised rates.
RumOrs have become current that the
fight among the several companies is
at fever heat already. and liable to
burst at any time. One agent has
gone so far as to say that his tourist
sleeping car will leave Beloit as sched-
uled, September 1, and go through to
Philadelphia without change over the
Union Pacific Chicago & Alton and B.
& o. s. w, if it can't get but one or
more passengers, and the agent here
has been instructed if there is a cut
on either of the other lines, to meet it
and go them one better.

The Vast Corn Crop and Cattle
Traffic of Kansas
Is Pushing the Railroads to
Desperate Resources.
CAR ORDERS RUSHED.
The Rock Island Has Just Com
pleted 80 Box Cars.
And Has Started an Extra Force
on $50 More at Horton.

The Rock Island is very short on
cars. owing to the immense rush of
business which is being done This
years freight traffic has already as
sumed such proportions that every
available car has been called into SER
vice. and still the road is short.
The Rock Island has just completed
80 new box cars at it's Horton shops,
and work has begun on twenty-five
double deck stock cars, twenty-five
fiat cars, and 100 more box cars. These
cars will be completed as quick as pos
sible, as an extra force of men have
been put to work on them. This years
stock and grain movement is already
proving to be a big thing for the rail-
roads.

NEW STEEL TANK.
Santa Fe to Erect One Near tho
Round House In Topeka.

Preparations are being made for the
erection of one of the new steel tanks,
near the round house, just north of the
old wooden tank, which is now doing
duty at that place. These tanks are
built from the ground up, the tank it
self resting on the ground, and the pipe
conveying the water to the engine
comes out from beneath and running
along under the ground, comes out be-
side the track and curves up over to
connect with the engine.
These tanks are much more substan-
tial than the old style wooden ones
and entirely do away with the props
underneath. Another advantage is that
they hold sufficient water that with
twelve hours pumping they will supply
the engines for the entire twenty -four
hours. AS was announced a short time
ago, these tanks are being built at all
points along the line of the Santa Fe.
either new or to replace an old wooden
one, which has worn out.

FOOLED THE OFFICERS.
CofEeyvilIe Negro Claimed to Be De-
tective With Much Success

CoffeyvilIe, Aug. 26.-Kid Berry, col
ored was sentenced to four months in
jail here today. Berry is known to near
" every prominent police officer in this
part of the country. He claimed to be
a detective and made a practice of tel
egraphing sheriffs marshals and police
men that he could arrest criminals
whom he knew the officer notified was
seeking, providing expense money was
advanced to him.
In nearly. every case the officer would
telegraph Berry the money asked for.
Berry secured large amounts in this
way, but for some reason attempts to
prosecute him were never begun until
q few DAYS ago.

GETTING RESERVE ENGINES.
Santa Fe Will Be Compelled to Use
All Their Rolling Stock.

The dozen or more engines which the
Santa F'e has stored in it's Sixth street
if the rush of business increases. In
regard to these engines, which are held
in reserve, it may be said that they
are of the smaller type, and inferior
to the large powerful engines which are
at present being used so extensively
all over the Santa F'e system.
These engines will probably be sent
to division points where they can take
the place of more powerful engines
without any detrimental results, thus
making it possible to use the large en-
gines where they can do the most good.
These reserve engines are already, in
first-class shape and have been over
hauled and placed in condition ready
for immediate service.
