ISTHMUS CANAL TO BE BUILT.
A New Concession Have Been Given by
Nicaraguan Congress.

-
New York, Aug. 6.-John D. Grim
Minis, of the syndicate formed to con-
struct an inter-oceanic canal through
Nicaragua under the concession given
by the government of Nicaragua to
Edward Eyre and Edward F. Cragin,
the existence of which has been pro-
claimed by Zelaya, said that the COM
pany to construct the canal, organized
under the laws of New Jersey, would
proceed to carry out the terms of its
contract without delay. The capital
needed has been secured, and if the es-
innate of cost made for this govern
ment is correct the canal can be built
for the same money and probably for
less. This estimate is about $130, 000,-
900. Mr.. Crimmins said that the COM
pany would prefer to have the govern
ment leave the matter in the company's
hands, so as to permit a private con-
struction and operation of the canal
for the benefit of the whole world.
However, he added, the syndicate had
no desire to embarrass the government
and would defer to its conception of
policy. The route has not been select
ed and the company has liberty to
choose any within the domain of Mic
aragua. That preferred by this gov
eminent would certainly have prefer
ence. The probability is that the
route will be that hitherto called the
Nicaragua. Mr.. Crimmins said:
''Our concession is perpetual. 1t
gives us the right to police the country
for two miles on either side of the
canal, whereas the Maratime Company's
concession policing was to be done by
the Nicaraguan government.

MRS. ]. W. PoTEs DEAD.

The sad news of the death Of Mrs. j..
w. Potes reached US last Wednesday.
She died on Tuesday, June 26, 1900, at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. l.. d.

was So years, 8 months, and % days
old.
Mr.. and Mrs. Potes resided in Bar.
Der county fifteen years and in this
city during the past nine years, having
been staying with their daughter at Al
va since spring. Their friends in Barber
county Kansas and Woods county Ok
lahoma are only limited by their wide
acquaintanceship, and this death will
be source of deep regret to all of
them. While death was not unexpect-
ed it is nevertheless sad and the
friends of the husband and relatives
extend their heartfelt sympathy.
The funeral was held at Alva last
Thursday where the remains were in

A NEW RAILROAD TO SAN FRANCISCO.

The newly completed extension of
the Santa Fe Route through the San
Joaquin Valley to San Francisco was
opened for passenger business on July
l, 1900.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway has heretofore possessed the
distinction of being the only line with
its own track and trains all the way
from Chicago to Los Angeles and San
Diego. San Francisco and the imror-
tant cities of the San Joaquin Valley
are now added to the vast territory
served by this great transportation sys.
tenn under ONE management. which ter
ritory also includes large part of the
region between Denver on the north,
and Galveston on the south.
Stress Is laid upon single ownership
and management. which insure uni
form excellence of service. Overland
trains by this route do not miss con.
nection, because they run through.
Tbs eating-house and dining car SER
vice is one of the same superior quail.
ity throughout, under management of
Mr.. Fred Harvey. The best equip
ment is provided. Employees are every
where solicitous and courteous. Re-
sponsibillty for the comfort of passen =.
gers is not divided.
No other transcontinental route Of
fers so great number of attractions
to the tourist. Among these are noun
tain altitude and scenery. extinct vol
canos. petrified forests, prehistoric ru-
ms, Indian pueblos, the Y osemite, and
the Grand Canon of Arizona, which is
the greatest scenic wonder of the world
Every characteristic phase OF indus
trial life in the West is traversed en-
| route.
The San ia Fe has long been the ia
yorite route between the East and
Southern California. By virtue of the
same high grade service and unexcelled
attractions it hopes to win equal favor
with travellers to and from San Fran,
cisco and intermediate cities of the
Golden State.
The service will consist at first O
Pullman and tourist sleepers and chair
cars daily. The early resumption of
the California Limited is contemplat.

The Western Society for the Sup

ceaseless and vigorous warfare upon

difficult to write in temperate language

That is all there is in it. If the boys
OF the country are not exposed to the
infernalism, the men are very sure not
be. This man and his schooimates
were saved from rum by the fact that
they could not get it until they were
