MISS ANTHONY TO QUIT.
Will Give Up Presidency of American
Suffrage Association.

Dunkirk, N Y, Jan. 29.-The conven-
ton of the National American Suffrage
association, which is to be held in
Washington February S-14 will be an
event of interest in the history of the
association. At this time Susan B. An
thony is to retire from the presidency
and the leadership transferred to
younger woman. Miss Anthony says in
regard to her resignation:
My determination not to accept the
presidency again is unalterable. do
not mean to do less work, whether OF
brain or body, but as the responsibility
of managing the association has al
ready largely fallen on the young wO-
men, it is only fair that they should
have the credit of what they do, and of
the responsibility they undertake be-
fore all the world The position IS one
of the gravest responsibility and the
hardest work. such as only those who
have had experience in running the ma
chinery of a. large association can COM
prehend. Since no salary is attached
to the Office. the president must possess
not only talent and ability, but the
means and freedom to travel about as
occasion demands.
The day following the convention
Miss Anthony's S0th birthday anniver-
sary will be celebrated. Distinguished
representatives from every state and
territory as we'll as representatives
from foreign countries will be present
to pay their respects to Miss Anthony.
A programme has been arranged in
which women representing the voca
tions, professions and activities in the
many lines of human interest wherein
woman has achieved success will par
ticipate.
The following letter has been issued
by Miss Anthony:
In this, my 80th year, I am filled
with a great desire to urge all believers
in the political acknowledgment of wO-
men to manifest that belief in some
material way. Will you not, as a New
Years pledge, promise to aid the suf-
frage association in some direct man
ner? No woman is SO situated that she
cannot do something. Write me, there
fore, that you will do one or all of the
following things:
Become a member of your local club
or state association, organize a local
club, write to the president of your
state association, telling her that you
stand ready and willing to do anything
in your power which she may call upon
you to do, or contribute a certain sum
of money to the treasury of your local,
county. state or national society, that
your name may be counted among
those who love the cause of equal rights
for women.
THE command to labor for the eleva-
ton of human kind is not upon a cho-
sen few only. but upon every intelligent
being 1 send this appeal to you per-
sonally, and I beg of you to reply to
me personally Yours sincerely,

ESKRIDGE'S SARCASM.
Tells Why He Will Not Be Delegate
to Republican Convention.

Charles V. Eskridge, editor of the
Emporia Republican. is poking fun at
the politicians. He says a state con-
vention is not a safe place for honest
men and proves it by the following
statement in his paper:
Many Republicans and Republican
papers throughout the state are advo-
eating state convention action in the
election of United States senator.
Boys, you are all wrong. Such action
would be boys play. 1t is revolution
airy IN its tendency, and, if taken, will
most likely cause bitter discord in the
party. The constitution prescribes how
senators shall be elected and to disre-
gard that fundamental law is incipient
rebellion. Were we a delegate to the
state convention we would oppose any
action of the kind proposed. But, we
will not be a delegate. We Were a del
gate to the last state convention, had
our pockets picked. and therefore have
come to the conclusion that a state
convention is not a very safe place for
an honest man. Half a dozen or more
persons, including the nominee for lieu
tenant governor, had their pockets
picked, also. For this and other rea-
sons, chiefly other reasons, We will not
go to the state convention.
Therefore, we make the above Sug-
gestion in the interest of the party, that
the convention have nothing to do with
the election of a United States senator
That matter rests exclusively with the
legislature, and that body, when it
meets, will pay no attention to the ac-
ton of the convention, should it take
action"

TO REIMBURsE AGENTS.
Western Roads Will Probably Ad-
vance Salaries

Chicago. Jan. 29.-Plans to reimburse
partially the ticket agents of the coun-
try for the losses they will sustain by
the sweeping abolition of ticket commits
sions are being discussed by the general
passenger agents of the principal roads
operating west from Chicago. The COM
missions viii not be discontinued by the
officers OF the interested companies are
working in advance.
A proposition is before the general pas
sneger agents of these roads to cali a
meeting in this city for the purpose of
considering salaries to be paid agents
who will be affected. Many of these have
been receiving as high as $500 per month
in commissions, while their salaries have
been as low as $35 per month The
changes will not bring the salaries up to
the commission point, but it is expected
that reasonable advances will be made.
In this connection a new plan has been
PREACHED. 1t has been suggested that the
railroads agree on a common scale that
will make the salaries of the agents of
all roads with similar duties the same.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Steel Car Construction at Santa
Fe Shops Here.
Work Progressing on First Or
der of This Kind.
OF MUCHIMPORTANCE.
Many Will Be Built if Expert
ment Proves Satisfactory.
Order Consists of Ten Ballast
and One Box Car.

There are now building at the Santa
Fe shops in this city ten new all steel
ballast cars Of $4,000 pounds capacity.
These cars Will be of standard size,
which means a length of 40 feet. Work
on the cars is being rushed ahead, as
the material is now at hand and they
will be put together as rapidly as posi-
BILE.
These cars will be the first steel cars
to be built at the Topeka shops and
their completion is naturally looked for
ward to with much interest. The work
on these cars has been delayed to a
great extent by the trouble experienced
in procuring material for their con-
struction.
The building of the steel ballast cars
is much of an experiment, but from the
satisfaction which cars of this kind
have been giving in the east consider
able is expected of them. This class
of cars is expected to revOlutionize
freight service. Not only will steel cars
give better service, but they are cleaner,
stronger and will last twice as long as
the common wood cars of the present
time.
AS soon as the order of ten ballast
cars is completed, an all steel box car
will be built and put into active service
on the road. This box car will be thor
oughly tested and if wholly satisfactory

box car will be of standard size and Of
$4,000 pounds capacity.
The railroads and in fact the world
is at present in the age of iron and
steel and from the many steel cars used
in the east and the satisfaction which
they are giving, there is every reason
to believe that the building of these
steel cars at the Santa Fe shops in this
city is but the beginning of the event
ua1 adoption of this class of cars over
the entire system.
The first cost of a steel car is much
greater than a wooden car, but the ex-
ira life and the strength obtained make
them cheaper and better. They are sell
dom out of repair Then again, the
growing scarcity of good wood and the
consequent high price is an important
factor in the change from wood to steel.
One of the important Items which has
brought about the change from wood to
steel is the question of tonnage. The
tendency Of the railroads of the pres
ent day is to run the tonnage of their
cars in excess of the capacity of wooden
cars, and the making of steel cars is a
natural consequence. From statistics
compiled, it is found that the tonnage
of railroad cars has. quadrupled itself
in the last 20 years.

pocket, but, as it was only a small sum,
he soon forgot about it
Yesterday it was recalled to his mind
in manner that quite took Mr.. Bars
breath away. AS he was going through
his train taking up tickets, he was stop
ped by a passenger who had just entered
and who asked him If on a certain day
ne had not been short in his cash fares.
Upon its being recalled to him he remem-
bered that on the date mentioned, he had
been short. and asked the gentleman how
ne came to know about it. In reply to
Mr.. Bars question the man said: well,

of conference, the boards of adjustment
of the brotherhoods of engineers and fire

NEARLY A MILE A MINUTE.
Fast Run by a Rock Island Train Be
tween Linon and Denver.

A report recently received at the
Rock Island offices here shows a very
fast run made by one of the passenger
trains on the Rock Island a short time
ago.
1t was between Limon and Denver,
Colorado. The train was made up of
one of the rast Rock Island locomo-
tives of the 500 series, and four heavy
passenger coaches. Owing to unavoid-
able delays the train was late in leaving
Goodland and was making up time all
the way along the road. When it reach
ed Limon it was still several minutes
late and Denver had to be reached on
time, if it was possible A short stop
was made at Limon to change some
baggage and the train was soon away
again.
The distance from Li1non to Denver
is about 80 miles, and as the train pulled
out of Limon there were just IS minutes
left in which to pull into Denver on
time. A strong wind was blowing
against the train at the time but with
the throttle wide open and a clear
track, the train rushed ahead, and
mile after mile was quickly passed over.
Nothing happened to delay the train.
and as the last of the allotted 95 minutes
was up, the train stopped at the Den
yer depot. exactly on time.
