AFTER PAPER TRUST.
Colorado Editors Adopt Set Of
Strong Resolutions.

Denver, Col. Jan. 24.-The Colorado
Editorial association at it's annual
meeting here adopted a set of strong
resolutions denouncing the newly form
ed paper trust and calling for congress
sional interference. The resolutions
were introduced by K. G. Cooper of the
Denver Republican. and declare the pa
per trust to be an enemy to newspaper
publishers and readers and therefore to
society and good government" Con-
gress is asked to Immediately repeal all
tariff duties on paper and its COM
ponent parts and the resolutions declare
that the association will consider as it's
enemy any senator or congressman who
fails to do his utmost to repeal such

such members. The resolutions were
adopted with but two dissenting votes.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Yards In Topeka to
Have a Novelty.
Narrow Gauge Engine Will Be
Placed In Service.
LOCOMOTIVE MIDGET.
Probably the Smallest In Use
on Any Standard Road.
Interesting Items of a General
and Local Nature.

The Santa Fe yards in Topeka will in
short time have in service probably
the smallest switch engine in use at
the present day on a regular wide
gauge railroad for daily switching pur-
poses.
This midget, which is soon to be a
part of the motive power Of the Santa
Fe in this city, is at present time on the
scrap pile. It will not stay there long,
however. as an order has gone out to
resurrect it and place it in the east
erecting room, where it will be set up,
overhauled and put into first class run
ming order.
There is quite a history connected
with this engine. Many years ago it
was No. BOG. and was a part of the
rolling stock of the Silver City & Dem
ing railroad, doing regular road serv-
ice. At this time the engine was of
the narrow gauge type, as the railroad
on which it was in service was noun
tain line.
After doing. good work on the Silver
city & Deming road, No. BOG was
placed in the shops, and made into a
standard or wide gauge engine, and
was sent to Strong City, where for
some time it was in regular switching
service in the yards at that place. Be
ing small but powerful it was used
there until it showed signs of wearing
out, when it was formally condemned
and sent to Topeka and relegated to
the scrap pile.
This midget switch engine will not
stand over seven feet from the track
There are three. pairs of drivers, about
36 inches in diameter, making them
about the same size as an ordinary
bicycle wheel. The piston rod, cylinder,
and other parts of the engine are pro-
portionally small
At the present time there is a small
clumsy dummy engine doing switching
duty in the shop yards. This will be
replaced by the midget. The switch
engine in the shop yards is important
as the work IS confined almost entirely
to the moving of new and old engines.
parts of tanks, new tanks. boilers and
cars between the various shops.
Work on the reconstruction of the
midget switch engine has already be-
gun. The reservoir is already made
and is waiting to be put into place on
top Of the wheels and frame The
wheels and frames will be taken into
the erecting shop Immediately, and the
work rushed to completion. The engine
will use compressed air as its motive
power.
Compared with the engine of the
present day, the midget will look in
significant. Some idea of the difference
can be imagined, by comparing the
driving wheels of the midget with those
of the regular locomtives in service on
the Santa Fe. The driving wheels of
the midget are SO inches in diameter
while the drivers of some of the regular
passenger locomotives are 20 inches in
diameter. The remaining parts of the
engines are in the same relative proper
ton, showing the great difference in the
size OF this former king of the rail,
and the kings of the present day.

TROUBLES OF A BOY.
Girls Will Write Notes to Him and
How Can He StudyP

Mrs. Mary Shorey is a North Topeka
widow and Charlie Shorey is her IS
year-old son. Charlie attends Grant
school and this fact, coupled with the
fact that young ladies also attend that
institution, is responsible for consider
able disturbance to his mothers peace
of mind.
Mrs. Shorey called at the State Jour
nal office today to see if something
could be done to force the Grant school
girls to cease writing notes to her son.
She says she has discovered that a.
number of the young ladies are spend
ing the greater portion of their time at
school in writing notes to Charlie, and
that Charlie, consequently, spends much
of his time in reading and answering
the communications. She further states
that these attentions are turning the
boys head and causing him to woeful-
ly neglect his studies
Mrs. ShOrey brought with her a sam
pie note which she captured unknown to
her son. 1t is a typical silly school girl
communication from winnie to Dear.
Charlie and states, among protesta-
lions of affection, that Prof. Simmer
we'll, the principal of the school, causes
the writer much WEAKNESS by contin-
ually announcing that the boys and
girls of his room think too much about
each other.

has been with the st. Paul system,
which he has seen develop from a COM
paratively small road to it's present
proportions. His first work for the road
was done as telegraph operator in one
of the small towns on the Prairie du
Chen division in January, 1867. He
worked at various points as operator
until 1870. when he was called in the
train dispatcher's Office in Milwaukee.
November IA, 1872, he was appointed
train dispatcher of the river division.
and later of the Hastings and Dakota
divisions, with headquarters at Mime
apolis In 1881 he was made trainmaster
of the Hastings and Dakota and the
Iowa and Minnesota divisions; in 1882
superintendent of the Iowa. and Mime
sofa division; in 1885 superintendent of
the southern Minnesota division, and in
1888 superintendent of the Kansas City
division. From this position his pro-
motion to higher and more responsible
positions was rapid. In 1890 he was
made assistant superintendent at Min
neapolis, with jurisdiction over the en-
tire northern district. and in April, 1898,
general superintendent, with headquar-
ters in Chicago. Mr.. Williams is a very
hard worker.

WABASH TROUBLE SERIOUS.
Not Unlikely That Railroad Chiefs
Win Order Strike.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Matters in relation
to the wage difference on the Wabash
system seem to have reached a crit
ical stage. Indications within the last
few days have been that only prompt
action on the part of President Ashley
will prevent strike within the next
two weeks. Failing to be accorded a
conference by Joseph Ramsey, Jr., gem
eral manager of the system, last Fri
day, the executive officers of the vari-
Gus trainmen's organizations entered
an appeal by wire to President Ashley
Unless the president agrees to a hear
ing with the trainmen. it is said a
strike will be ordered on all parts of
the system.
The possibilities of a strike present
grave conditions. 1t is said that at
least SIS per cent of the trainmen are
members of the various trainmen's or
CARNATIONS, and that if strike is de-
clared all traffic except that of mail
trains will be Indefinitely stopped.

small type, and in very inconspicuous
part of the paper, but it aroused a
storm of argument in Kansas.
"a man, who may have been fictitious
or real, and who signed the name of
Daggett, is alleged to have written a
letter to the editor of the paper, in
which ne pretended to be much
offended because the source from which
he derived his daily informa ton should
be guilty of such gross misrepresenta-
ton. Fired by professional pride, the
editor, it is stated, published reply
over his own signature, in which he
treated his subscriber in a most sar-
castle manner and called upon Mr.
Field, Mr.. Box and Mr.. Doubleday to
bear witness as to the truth of his
statement Naturally everybody was
interested in the discussion, and Mr..
Box is constantly receiving communi-
cations from all sections of the country
asking him to put the world right in
regard to the controversy.
Mr.. Box is in New York now, but
can safely speak for him In the first
place, Mr.. Box is not a betting man,
and in the second place, the story is
so manifestly a joke as to make a de-
NAL unnecessary.
when I read the article I thought
at once of a joke that was played on
Mr.. Box while 1 was city editor of a
daily newspaper in Boston. I received
a letter from him one day, inclosing a
clipping which 1 recognized as coming
from my own paper It stated that an
nouncement had been made of the en-
gagement of Mr.. Box to the beautiful
daughter of a well known patent medi-
cine merchant. Mr.. Box said, in his
letter, that he would be very much
obliged to me if I could tell him how
the item got into print; that he was re-
ceiving congratulations by. the score,
and that, inasmuch as there was no
foundation for the story. he was placed
in a very embarrassing position. 1
found that it had been clipped from a
paper in Chicago. I told Mr.. Box that
Eugene Field wrote for the paper and
he replied that he guessed that there
was no need for a further investiga-
ton
We'll the same vein Of humor runs
through all the Fields and 1 surmise
that this little joke occurred to Ros-
well Field and he was not able to re-
sist the temptation to put it into ex-
ecution.
1T may be, also, that the discussion
in the Kansas paper really. did occur.
1t was noted in the story. that came
from New York that the original no.
tice was printed in very small type,
without headlines of any kind, and in
an inconspicuous part of the paper. 1t
is probable that Mr.. Field and Mr..
himself, may have made a wager con-
corning the advertising value of space
in his paper, Mr.. White taking the
ground that no matter how small or
inconspicuous, every article in it was
read. A sensational item was chosen,
and, if this theory is correct, Mr.. White

in fact, than ever before since the road
established a division point in Argen-

to set in and the railroad is beginning
to reduce its force. A number of brake
men and switchmen have been laid off
and more are to follow. Argentine has
suffered more lightly than other points,
at any time unless business grows
brisker.
The men who are laid off will be en-
ployed again as soon as hands are

The ball which the Argentine lodge
of the Brotherhood of the Locomotive
Firemen have arranged to give tonight

There will no doubt be large crowds
from the neighboring railroad points.
