RAILROADS BUILT IN 1899.
About 4,500 Miles of Track Laid in
the YeaP-Best Record
Since 1900.

The Railway Age has made can
vass Of the country in regard TO the
building Of new railroads during the
pasg year, and finds that about 4,500
miles have been added in that time.
This is the greatest amount OF new rail-
zoad that has been built in any one year
since 1890, when 5,6T0 miles We're COM
pleted. Scarcity Of labor and the great
Increase in prices for rails and other
supplies is believed to have had mate
rial effect in keeping down the new
mileage, and the coming year will with
out doubt see continuation Of building.
Iowa stands at the head OF the list Of
states in its figures for new mileage
with 5s5 miles to its credit, although
the previous ten years had seen little or
no additions made to its railroads. A
notable fact about the railroad build
ing Of the year is that there hns been
comparatively little building by new
companies, while a number Of the older
roads have made important extensions.
AS examples, the Chicago & North
western has built 357H miles; the Chi
cago. Milwaukee & St. Paul, 9s miles;
the Northern Pacific, 95 miles in the
United States and 20 miles in Canada;
the Chicago, Rock Island g. Pacific, 50
miles; the Atchdson, Topeka q Santa
Fe, 100 miles; the Illinois Central, 100
mites; the Burlington system, so miles;
the Louisville g. Nashville, IA miles;
the Seaboard Air Line, over 100 miles;
the Great Northern. "a miles, and the
Choctaw, Oklahoma g. Gulf, 1862 miles,
During 1899 Massachusetts, had the
lowest record of new trackage, the
number of miles being only 4.2o.

"Cashl" The form Of tloor-walker
lowered about the struggling ruck.
Little cash girls in gingham aprons
fitted here and there, crying their
numbers in shrill falsetto.
Suddenly came a crash and ciatter as
Of breaking crockery, followed by the
sobs of a child. An absurdly small cash
girl had dropped an armful Of china
ware. In her haste she had bumped
into man, or man had bumped into
her, Just which was not quite clear.
The crowd paused to look on, while the
foorwaiker listed the broken articles.
.sWho stands the loss?" asked q by
stander. He was big man, wearing the
broad-brimmed felt hat usually asso-
ciated with stockmen Of the west.
The floorwalker was too busy 10 an

eyes and wept softly. The man with
whom she had collided attempted to
back away, but the crowd was too
dense.

The child wept more violently. Those
words no doubt dispelled all her fond

stockman.
n The man with whom she had collided
averted his face and tried to elbow his
way out Of the crowd, but behind him
were many curious to learn the cause
Of the, commotion, and these pushed
him forward

THE WAR INV SOUTH
AFRICA.
Lcndon Still Anxious.


London, January 14.-The veil
concealing the -thcater of war from
the anxious eyes Of Great Britain
and the rest Of the world is still
unified. It is impossible to doubt
that this absolute closing of all
the channels ofinformation is due to

Kitchener, concerning whom moth
ing has transpired since the an
'nolncemento of theirarrival at Cape

that no further news from the front
had been received ahd none from
any other source has come to hand

POLITICS IN HALLETsVILLE.
The Pot is Beginning to Boil--Good
Crops Of Local Candidates.

Correspondence in the San Antonio
Daily Express.
Halletsville, Tex, Jan, 9.-The
political pot" is beginning to boil
here with the opening Of the year
1900. The city election is not so
far distant. There will be elected
in the city three aldermen, a secre-
tary, q marshal and tax collector
and assessor. So far only one can
didate has openly announced, o. L.
Est, who will be a candidate for
city collector and assessor. Al
though there are no announcements
yet for the other offices, they will
not go begging. The main interest
is conferred on the county campaign
and candidates for offices are be-
ginning to "pop up" everywhere.
Hon.. W. T. Adams, foater from
this district, is letting his friends
know that he is a candidate for
representative OF this county. La
vaca. Judge D. A. Paulus will not
be u candidate for reelection to the
Office of county judge, but will seek
the county attorneys office. The
present incumbent of the latter
office, VIM. Blakeslee, it is said,
will be candidate for county judge.
So far, three are mentioned as can
didates for tax collector, namely:
J. d. A. Meyer, present incumbent,
w. G.. Adams and S. l.. Bennett.
Eugene Blakeslee and the present
assessor, F.J. Pesek, haveannounced
for the office of assessor and others
are spoken of as prospective candi-
dates. 1t is expected that in the
course of a month or more, things
will begin to warm up and it is
thought that good crop of candi-
dates will be on. Many are keep
ing num-" but will soon begin to
let their friends know that they
are in the race.
