Rock Island Pleased With Result of
Excursions.

The popular price excursions from
points in Illinois to Kansas and other
western points are proving popular.
The Rock Island handled $50 of these
excursion tickets on two trains through
Topeka yesterday. The returns are not
all in and it cannot be stated how many
were on the other three trains or how
many went by way of Omaha.
The commercial clubs Of Kansas had
been endeavoring nearly all summer to
get the railroads to put into effect a

MOVING COTTON.
Much From South Now Going East
by Railways.

With the destruction Of the wharves
at Galveston the shipping interests SUI
fered greatly and the railroads are pros
pering in a corresponding degree.
This freight consists chiefly of cotton,
and it appears that the export cotton
trade is heavier this year than it has
been before.
The Rock Island railway has been en-
joying q large portion of this cotton
business, starting a train load east every
day These trains average about 25 cars
and are rushed through as fast as posi-
BILE. On their arrival at Chicago this
business Is divided up between several
OF the lines from Chicago to New York
and the cotton reaches its destination in
this manner in good time. The cotton
handled by the Rock Island is for the

Superintendent Of teIegraphs, C. G.
Sholes of the Santa Fe left last evening
for points on the Gulf, in Texas, to con-
tinue his supervision OF the work of re-
building the telegraph lines that were
destroyed about Galveston.
Altogether. but not in a continuous
line, there were 1853 miles of telegraph
line that had to be rebuilt. Forty miles
had to be rebuilt with new poles. For
the rest OF the distance poles had to be
propped up, new wires stretched and
other repairs varying with circumstan-
ceS in divers localities
The Santa Fe got two wires working
into Galveston before Mr.. Sholes made
his flying visit to his Office here. The
work still goes on, if not quite so anx-
iously as at first and it is estimated that
1t viii take fully four or I'VE months to
