sr1LLwE1L BEGINS GRADING.
Large Force of Men Are at Work
Near Augusta. o. T.

Wichita, June A telegram from
Augusta, o. t, states that the construc-
ton force of the proposed Kansas City,
Mexico and Orient Railroad company
has commenced work on the grade
south of Harper county, Kansas. This
is additional evidence that Mr.. Still
we'll and his men mean business and
that the road will be built.
A force of men was put to work on
Monday and representatives of the con-
structiOn company are there employing
men Advertisements were issued ask
ing for 400 men and many teams to go
to work, but owing to the approaching
wheat harvest there is a scarcity of
laboring men. A force of 100 workmen
have been employed.
The residents in and around Augusta,
who recently built a grade for rail-
road running out of that town, offered
the grade as a bonus for any railroad
that would run a line through that
country, and this is the grade recently
acquired by the StillweH people and ii
is believed that the work already COM
menced from Harper county is to con-
meet with the old grade in Oklahoma

This Speed Can Be Maintained
Regardless of Grade.
Much Faster Time Said to Be

Chicago, June 4.-The two monster
passenger locomotives. delivered to the
Rock Island by the Baldwin Locomotive
Works last week, have been objects Of
great interest to railroad men of this
city.
Our new engines are the biggest and
fastest machines for passenger service
ever run out of Chicago" said an Off
Ger of the road. Their speed and power
are enormous. They will be capable Of
making faster time than passengers
care for or railroad companies wish.
such engines may be used only on road
peds and tracks that are in the best
possible condition"
The two engines are numbered / POI

der Tor twenty-five of the same type.
The new monsters weigh $4,000
pounds and have driving wheels 1872
inches in diameter. They are designed
for fast passenger train service between
chicago and Omaha and Chicago and
ka nsas City. The makers of the big
machines are confident that they will
pc able to haul train of at least ten
heavy cars at a rate of seventy five
miles an hour over any ordinary grade.
The new flyers are known as ten

Kansas City Southern is Building It
Over Red River.

The Kansas City Southern railway. for
merly the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf,
IS reported now to be in tirst-class physi-
cal condition between Kansas City and
the Gulf of Mexico. The result is that the
road is running more and faster trains
than formerly When the receivers took
charge Of the road more than. a year ago
much of it was in bad condition They
took off several useless trains and reduced
the speed of others until the track could
be repaired. New rails were laid, danger
Gus bridges taken out and replaced with
substantial structures. the roadbed re-
paired and considerable ballast work
done.
This policy brough praise to the receiv-
erS from the owners of the road. 1t is
being continued by President Fordyce
with the intention of making the Kansas
City Southern one of the best railroads
in the west. A new steel bridge to cost
Y million of dollars is being constructed

MR.. cLARKs ONLY STRIKE.
"reminiscences of the Big-Hearted
Railway President.

Omaha, June 4-OId-timers with the
Union Pacific who heard of his death Sat
urday. spent many a spare moment in re-
counting "reminiscences of the old days
when S. H. H. Clark was with the Union
Pacific here. They all seemed to know
him personally, for he had been a kind
hearted, approachable man, and had loved
him a brother.
4 remember in 1884 when we had the
strike, the only strike that Mr.. Clark
ever had during his life' said Harry Gill
more, he could help it. The board of di-
rectOrs in Boston-Charles Francis Ad-
ans was chairman at that time-sent a
telegram to Mr.. Clark to at once make a
reduction of 10 per cent in all salaries
over $50 a month, and Is per cent on all
salaries over $50 a month. He had to do
Then the men began quitting out on
the western division. The strike begun
coming down the line, and the next fore
noon they quit at Cheyenne and by night
it got to Omaha, and every trainman and
Switchman quit work.
I was yardmaster then. and the
switchmen in the yard made up their
minds that they wouldn't let any freight
or passenger trains go out to the road
1t to let the passenger trains go through
and to handle all of the live stock and
perishable goods than in transit. I told
them the passengers who had started for
somewhere and were stopped half way
would feel hard toward the men who
stopped them, so it agreed to do what 1
asked.
Just after that Mr. Clark sent for me
to come up to his office. When 1 went
seem to know what to do. In all of his
railroad experience he had never had a
strike before and he was completely up
set He showed me the telegram he had
received from the directors, but he
seemed to be worrying a good deal more
about the men than he was about the
directors in Boston. He wanted to please
his men. I told him that there was no
use of talking, the men would not go back
to work at reduced wages, and he might
as Wen telegraph that TO Boston. I never
knew what he telegraphed, but the next
day, about o'clock in the evening, he
| sent me down a notice that the directors
/ had rescinded their order.
Just at that time one of the switch
mems committees were standing outside
/ the door and I went out and told it of
/ the word Mr.. Clark had sent down. In
J stantly every man around begun jumping
and yelling and throwing his hat and
/ running to engines and pulling the
whistles, and for twenty minutes bedlam
reigned. You never saw yards so damned
| with cars as those were, yet every man
/ turned to work without orders, and at
/ 1890 that night the yards were as clear
! as if there had never been a strike"
