RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Working For Develop
ment of Galveston.
VIII Take 200 Kansas Millers
and Grain Men There.
EXCURSION MARCH 10.
Special Train of Pullman Sleep
ers to Be Provided.
Hope to Export Bulk of Western
Products Via That Port.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e is
making strenuous efforts to develop the
port Of Galveston as an exporting point
for grain and flour. and on March 10
will take about 200 millers and grain
dealers, members of the Kansas Millers'
association and various western grain
dealers associations, on a special train
of Pullman sleepers from Topeka, KAN
sas, to Galveston to investigate the ad-
vantages of that port as an exporting
point over the present plan of shipping
to eastern cities. The party will be in
charge of George H. Hunter. president
of the Kansas Millers' association, and
a corps of agents of the Santa F'e.
Heretofore the export business from
Galveston has been hindered by the in
ability Of shippers to secure "all-risk''
insurance on shipments from that point,
and also because there was no steam
ship line from that port to London. 1t
is said, however, that through the eff
forts of the Santa F'e a steamship line
to London has now been arranged for,
and heavy movement of grain and
flour from Galveston is expected.
Both the Santa Ee and the Frisco are
hustling for business for Galveston, and
since the establishment of steamship
line from that port to Cuba rates have
been made which enable millers in St
Louis and Southwestern Missouri to en-
ter the Cuban trade.
The wheat crop in Texas is said to be
fully one-third larger than last years
and twelve flour mills are in process
of erection or have been contracted for
in the state. A very large export bust
ness in both wheat and flour is looked
for, and all of the roads are hustling
to get in line for a. share of it.

At no time have the American racing
men taken as much interest in the
Derby as they have shown this year,
for to them Democrat is an American
horse, and a victory on his part will
be a victory for the American breeder.
AS to the breeding of this little horse,
from an American point of view none
could be better, although some English
the sons of Sensation have more speed
than stamina. To horsemen on this
side of the water such an opinion seems
very strange and there is no doubt that
the history of the modern turf offers
many arguments against such a be-
lief.
A GOOD RECORD.

carries the richest and most fashionable
blood in the English stud book, having

of Diomed and double cross of Touch

bone.
Stch is the horse that will proudly
contest for the greatest honors of the
English turf next spring, providing his
dropped from the list of entries. If he
runs, therefore, he will carry the bulk
of the American dollars, so that it is
not strange that horsemen in this .coun-
try are awaiting the outcome of the
dispute with considerable anxiety.

been in poor health for number of
years. He was at one time agent at
Abilene for the Rock Island, but was
compelled to give up that station on ac-
count of his poor health, and went out
in the western part of the state in hopes
of an Improvement, but gradually grew
worse. His brother, w. W. Kerr, who
is also employed by the Rock Island in

miral John B. Walker in 1890.
MAESTRO Joao Pereira, chief of the naval
bands at Rio, has organized a special
band to accompany the president.
1t is thought that the new irOnclad Mar
echal de Odoro will be Incorporated in the
squadron. It is not probable that the
president will sail before March l.
Besides the fetes and receptions ar
ranged by the general government of the
Argentine republic to celebrate the arrival
of DR.. CampoS Sales, the governor of the
province of La Plata has made prepara-
ations to give the Brazilians a royal re-
ception. The government palace where
DR.. Campos SALES will be lodged has been
painted, decorated and newly furnished,
and a fine park has been prepared in the
wood.
All the public squares, avenues and
streets through which it is intended the
party shall pass will be splendidly nlu-
minated and decorated.

$4,000 FOR BLACKLIsTING.
Telegraph Operator Says National
Surety Co. Has Wronged Him.

Wichita, March Be. E. Harvey, Of
the law firm of Huffman & Harvey,
Wichita, has brought suit against the
National Surety company of New York
for ST., 600 for F. H. Becker, who claims
he was blacklisted by the company for

Extension of the Frisco Road Said to
Be Certain.


Winfield, March 5.-By the time the
snow flies in the fall Winfield and Enid,
o. T., will be connected by rail. Nego-
tiations have progressed so far that this
result now seems certain.
The people of Enid met with the direc-
tors of the construction company the
other day and an agreement satisfac-
tory to all parties concerned was reach
ed, Enid agreeing to pay a bonus Of
$25, 900. The conditions are that work
must commence on the extension from
Blackwell not later than April 1, and
the road must be completed to Enid not
later than December l.
The business men of Enid have agreed
to deposit the bonus promised on or
before April 1, subject to the above
conditions. President D. B. Robinson
of the Frisco will go to New York in a
few days to consult the directors of that
company. Their formal acceptance is
all that is lacking to assure success.
This road will tap one of the finest
agricultural countries in the world.
From Blackwell to Enid the country
is a dream of beauty and fertility and
the population composed largely of ex-
Kansans, who are progressive, energetic
and wide-awake. the kind of people
who redeem deserts and make the waste
places to blossom like a garden.

ENGLISH SCIENTIST COMING
British Museum Curator Visits Kansas
in Nav.

Word has been received at the Uni
versity of Kansas that DR.. A Smith
Woodward, curator of the department
of geology of the British museum, will
visit the university in May for the pur-
pose of examining the cretaceous fishes
and reptiles contained in the University
museum. DR.. woodward is one of the
most noted of European paleontologiS
and is coming to this country to con-
tinue his special study of cretaceous
vertebrates. He will visit several of
the larger eastern universities but the
University of Kansas will be for him
the chief point of interest, as the
museum of that institution is especial
ly rich in the particular kind of fossils
which he has made a subject of h,fe
study.
The archaeological museum of Kan
sas university is among the most extern
sive in America, and in certain depart
ments is unequailed anywhere. It is
for this reason that many noted geolo-
gists have visited it in recent years,
and that an English paleontologist
should come to it to pursue his special
investigations
