Seems to BE the South African Edf-
ton of the Heather Chinee.


Nothing says a man who spent many
years In South Africa, "gives native
greater pleasure than to read the
countenance of white man when he
knows the latter wants information. For
a piece of tobacco he will trump up an
exciting story, and for an extra quarter
he will lay it on thickly. 1 have often
seen them at this game, their eyes twink
ling with delight while they have been
imparting some confidential statement
to myself and others; and 1t is quite
clear that they are making wild state
ments as to these supposed battles and
the terrible loss Of life which has been
inflicted upon the enemy"

Capital For Stillwell Line in Mexico
Already SUBSIDIZED.

Kansas City, April s0.-The capital
needed to build the 600 miles of the KAN
saS City Mexico and Orient railway in
Mexico has already been subscribed. One
million dollars of this has been subscrib-
ed by Kansas City people, Y million by
st. Louis people and 25 per cent of the
entire amount, by New York capitalists.
Mr.. Sylvester, who represents the st.
Louis capital, said today
This railway company now has its
right of way and concessions from the
government of Mexico. It is Incorporated
in Texas, Oklahoma and the Indian Ter
ritory. It will apply next week for incor-
poration in Kansas. 1t has its right of
way in Kansas City. The right of way
for the entire road from Kansas City to
Port StilIwell has been secured with the
exception of a few miles in Texas. and
this has been promised. Work on building
the road in Mexico will begin in six weeks
and it will go right on till the. whole
Mexican section of the road is finished.
Within eighteen months trains will be
running over the entire line in Mexico
After that we will push the construction
of the line between Kansas City and the

ed conseeutively from number 1, as they
We're added to the map BY this system
of numbering the stations, No. 1 might
be in Kansas, No in Illinois, and No.
in California, etc. The system caused
some confusion.
By having all stations numbered by
the distance they are from a given point
does away with this trouble and saves
annoyance. This is what has been
done.
Taking Chicago as a starting place,
all the stations on the main line are
numbered according to the miles they
are from Chicago On the branch lines
that are less than a hundred miles in
length, a certain number of hundred
miles is assigned and the stations are
numbered with this number plus the
amount of miles the station is from the
junction point.
The station numbers used by the bag
gage department and those used by the
auditor of the road as the official sta
tiOn numbers have heretofore been diff
ferent. 1t is thought that this new set
of numbers will be adopted by the audi
tor so as to have a uniform set of num-
bers in use by both departments. The
new list is in use in the passenger de-
partment.

Kisses AND CHEERS
Both Greet Senator Tillman at Ann
Arbor.

Ann Arbor, Mich, April Ex-senator
Tillman of South Carolina lectured here
Saturday night under the auspices of
the Good Government league, his sub
ject being 1.-THE Race Question in the
South" The incident of the evening
was his philippe against the negroes.
The audience was composed of stu
dents. Directly in front and alone sat
a negro student, and the senator looked
at him in making his remarks.
You scratch one of these negro
graduates under the skin. ''he said, 'tand
you will find the savage. His education
is like a coat of paint, like his skin
There were Kisses from several parts
Of the house. Senator Tillman smiled
and retorted: ''You must excuse me for
my frankness. There is nothing of ha-
tired in my nature for the negroes.
When that man who hissed gets ready
to give his daughter in marriage to a
negro and proves by his actions, and
not by his Kisses. that he means busi-
ness, will apologize and not before
The applause which greeted this retort
was tremendous, and there was no
more Kissing during the evening. The
senator said in conclusion: Until YOU
are ready to take them to you don't let
yourselves ever again be encouraged to
interfere between the southern whites
and the blacks. We understand each
other and will settle this question be-
tween ourselves"

Are the Prevailing Plaques in South

New York, April 30.-A dispatch to
the World from London says:
Frederick Treves the famous surgeon
who has just returned from the war,
was entertained together with Sir VIM.
Mccormack at a banquet at the Re
form club Saturday night, presided over
by Lord Rosebery. Mr.. Treves took
occasion to administer q singing re-
buke to the smart women suffering
from Khaki fever, who have gone as al
legged nurses to the front. He said:
so far as the sick is concerned, there
are only two plaques in South Africa
the plague of flies and the plague of
women.
1.-THE flies we get rid Of by horse hair
wisps and other appliances and the flies
at least depart at night but the women
are absolutely and really a. terror They
came out in the guise of amateur nurses
after having exhausted every other
form of excitement.
Considering that we are engaged in
a war the number of well-d dressed ladies
at Cape Town and elsewhere giving pic
mics is a blot on the campaign"

ROCK ISLAND DETERMINED.
Announces Independent Action in
Reference to Cheap Excursions

NSN@~A~ ~ASO w O4ACe1R %2ASA4S4OA6s
The Rock Islands proposition for
cheap rate excursions to and from Col
oradO during this summer has been
negatived by the Western Passenger
association. In consequence notice was
served on Chairman Mcleod by Gen
eral Passenger Agent Sebastian that
the Rock Island will take independent
action and put in effect a rate of one
fare plus 81 for the round trip from
Chicago and all intermediate points
east of the Mississippi river to Denver,
Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Salt Lake
City, and Ogden Tickets at this rate
will be sold on June 90 July 9 and II,
and August l. From Missouri river
points the same rate will be made on the
day following these dates. Tickets at
this rate also will be sold from Missouri
river gateways, Kansas City to Omaha
inclusive, on July Z, s and 9. Four spe-
clal excursions also will be run by the
Rock Island from Colorado common
points to Chicago and intermediate sta
tions on June %, July Il and 20 and Au-
gust f. These excursion tickets. both
east and west bound, will be limited
for return passage to October 81. The
Rock Island announces its intention Of
placing IN service special trains Tor
these excursions, leaving Chicago at 5
p. m. and making the run to Colorado
with only one night on the road.
This action of the Rock Island is the
beginning of a severe fight on business
between Chicago and Colorado, and the
immediate cause for it is the putting on
of fast limited trains by the Burlington
and Northwestern-U Union Pacific be-
tween Chicago and Denver. The roads
which are unable to put on trains max
ing the run between Chicago and
Denver in twenty-six hours, as the
burlington is doing, are determined to
get even in some other way, by which
they hope to command a. fair propor-
tion of the Missouri river and Colorado
passenger business. One of the Chicago
Kansas City lines is now preparing to
run a twelve-hour train between Chi
cago and Kansas City, which is two
and one-half hours faster than the
present schedule
