General Manager Nevin states that we
are violating our contract with them by
sympathetic strike in behalf of our fell
low workers on the Gulf. Colorado & Santa
Fe branch, which is part of our own
division. He errs In this. for we are alb
solutely holding to our portion of the
contract recently entered into with him.

TROUBLE ATTENDS
RUNNING OF TRAINS.
Most of Them Many Hours Late and
some Not Moving mt MI-TrOuble
I'm sight.

TOPEKA, kas., Dec. 9.-Considerable
difficulty attended the operation OF the
Santa Fe trains today. Announcement
was made last night by the officials that
all trains would run on time. and that
all kinds of freight would be handled in
the usual quantities. All the trains were
run on time-card schedules.
The troubles commenced this morning
when the California limited train. No. 1.
came In from the West. four hours late.
When the train reached Emporia 1t was
confronted with the strike conditions to
such an extent that 1t was held up for
some time awaiting orders. None came
and the train started. When 1t reached
the first small station the danger signal
was out and ID had to stop. The process
was repeated Mt all the small stations
between Emporia and Topeka. The Linn
tied never stops at the small stations, UNI
der ordinary conditions. The officials
were much chagrined to find that their
favorite train had lost so much time.
No. 2, another California train, due In
Topeka at 2;se, did not arrive at all. and
the officials OF the road do not know
exactly where to look for It,
No. 8. from the west. arrived nearly on
time. Instead OF being a long train of
nine coaches, as Il usually is 1t consisted
of only three coaches and was pulled by
two engines. This was done to preclude
the possibility OF any delay, as II Is a
matter OF the utmost importance that all
trains run as nearly to the time limit as
possible, II received no clearance at any
station.
westbound Trains Also Late.
All the trains from the east were from
one 20 three hours late, the Chicago train
being the latest Travel today has been
unusually light. The Atchison train.
which is usually crowded with passengers
on Sunday. had only fifteen today. peo-
pie were afraid 90 travel on account OF
the possibility Of accidents.
The fast mail service west was all right
this morning. and the road men hope the
same conditions Will prevail tomorrow
morning. They viii not express an opln-
ion, however

Great Office Building.

New York is to have the biggest Of
fec nullding in the world, il is said
1t will not be remarkably high-only
20 stories-but it will cover a great
deal of ground and have more interi-
or space than any other structure on
the globe used for office purposes.
The site, at the southeast corner of
Broad street and Exchange place, in
the very heart of the money district,
will cost $2,000,0O0, and it is believed
the building can be erected for $4,000
600 more. Six million dollars for a
block of brick and iron is a goodly
sum, but when the size of the block
and the value of the land on which it
will stand are considered it does not
appear to be too much. The new ALI
ance Realty Company, of which Fred
erick Southack is President, bought
the ground the other day and work on
the building will be commenced very
soon.

SHOE BUCKLES.
They Were Once Worth Much More
Than the Shoes


Once on time your shoe was moth
ing without the buckle. Indeed, it was
a case of the tail wagging the dog, .
for the buckle was the main thing
and the shoe only to carry it. 1t was
not the size, but the costliness OF the
buckle which counted among royalties
and people Of high rank at court wore
diamonds, while even in those days
some wore paste limitations in vain
effort to seem rich.
In 1920 a leader of fashion would
wear a full flowing curled wig reach
Ing in ringlets half way down back
and arms, a laced coat cut straight,
with buttons put on in every possible
place, and square-toed, black shoes
with an enormous fiat on the instep,
high heels, and on the fiat small
but brilliant buckle. Next to the buckle
Gf brilliants came those of gold. Rich
land owners and merchants wore gold
buckles larger than the diamond ones,
but still small in proportion to the
shoe flaps.
Your thriving shoekeeper wore buc-
HES of silver, and your opulent farm
or those of shining steel, and the poor
er class had buckles of brass Or iron;
hut of some material every one wore
buckles on the shoes.

The silk Industry.

The silk industry has had remark able development in the United States ip recent years. In the annual review of the business by the secretary of the Silk association it is known that there are silk factories now in 230 towns ip 19 different states, the number of es- tablishments being 750. New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut lead in the manufacture of silk fabrics. Peters burg, Va, has been running silk mills for some years. We have not aeeli. mated the silkworm, but import the reeled yarn from other countries. In 1899 we imported 73.667 bales, worth S41 ,195, ,209, the average price per pound being S4.15. We export none of our fabrics, it appears, but sell all in the home market. All Americans, espe- eially the ladies, try to support in their dress their title to 5e the earth's nobility

THE IDEAL AUTOMOBILE.
Low Cost, Durability, and Speed Nec-
 s.arp.

Low Cost, Durability, and Speed Nec-
 essary.
 The automobile has been sufficiently long in our midst to enable us to define the essential qualities which go to make up an ideal machine, says the Scientific American. Naming them in their order they are as follows: Low cost, durability, endurance (large fuel supply, ability to climb hill and speed. Low cost is given the first place for the reason that the present price of the an- tomobile places it altogether beyond the means of the average individual, and renders it a very decided luxury It is certain that cheapening the cost' will produce a proportionate increase in the demand, and an increased de- mand will lead in it's turn to a reduc- tion in the price. This was eonelu- siyely proved in the history of the bi- cycle, the cost of a first-class machine today being about ene=qaarter what 1t was few years ago. when the number Of riders was limited. Bat while Che ideal automobile must be cheap, the 3EQtlLL4OE 4ii 4tC Al4tiSE lICL DC sSil1Cu at the expense of sound materials and good workmanship. However great may be the demand for a low-priced machine our manufacturers must neF- CT attempt to meet it by making short cut by way of showy but inferior construction. The folly Of such a meth cd was demonstrated very conclusive ly when the bicycle was at the height of it's popularity. Next to it's low cost and durability we place the endurance of the automobile, by which we mean it's capacity to cover a large mileage without having to refill it's fuel tanks. Liberal fuel capacity will be 8 very strong recommendation to the bicyclist who has been accustomed to rove all day on long distance excursions with the knowledge that he is not tied to particular stopping places, or liable to be hopelessly stalled" by a collapse of his motive power in out-of-the-way or unexpected places.
