FIRST KANSAS LOCOMOTIVE.
It Has Been Retired From Service on
the Central Branch

Atchison, May S.-The six original
Central Branch engines, some of which
have been doing duty until lately, have
been thrown into the scrap heap. They
are numbers ISL, 1872, 1853, 1854, ia and
154.
Old ISL was the first locomotive which
ever touched Kansas soil. 1t was haul
ed across the river near st. Joe, and for
a time used on three or four miles of
track opposite st. Joe. Master Mechanic
@. w. Weller says the particulars of old
1878 beginning were somewhat clouded
in mystery until he met an old man out
on the Central Branch one time, who
rode on it when first in service. The
locomotive created great excitement
and people were given free rides for
several days. A piece of iron from the
old relic will in a few days be presented
to the State Historical society by Mr..
Weller.
The work of loading all the 1ocomo-
tives on the cars for shipment to St.
Louis will soon begin. The engines will
be sold as junk. They win be melted up
by the foundries, and perhaps converted
into new locomotives. The old style
engines are being replaced on the Cen
trail Branch with great moguls, which
are giants beside the little old fashioned
locomotives. Mr.. Weller will compile
a complete history of old 161, giving its
daily life from the early days. and pre-
sent it to the historical society.

TRANSFER OF a PASS.
It May Cause the Colorado Executive
Office Much Trouble.

Denver, May S.-The Union Pacific rail-
road is investigating Charles s. Thomas,
governor of Colorado, and as result it is
possible courtesies will be withdrawn.
A notice has been sent to the capitol
that if the governors military secretary
will call at the law office of Teller, Ora
hood & Morgan he can recover a portion
of the transportation issued him to Kan
sas City and return.
During March the governor sent a re-
quest for transportation to the Union
Pacific for Mr.. Jackson, who desired to
go to Kansas City and return. Superin-
tendent Deuel. referred it to Attorney
Willard Teller, who Endorsed it and the
pass was issued. Mr.. Jackson wrote to
Mr.. Deuel. a note reading:
Il find can not get away to use the
ticket before it expires; will you extend it
This was done The ticket was taken
up day before yesterday by a conductor
at Ellis, Kan, and the holder was obliged
to pay fare. He had Travelled on it from
Denver to Kansas City and was on his
way back when he happened, unluckily,
to meet a conductor who knew Jackson
personally.
The matter was reported at once to Su-
perintendent Deuel. and to Attorney Will
lard Teller. They made a request that
Mr.. Jackson, who was the governor s
stenographer at the time the pass was is
sued, be required to explain. Mr.. Teller
discovered Mr.. Jackson had not been out
of the city, but was enjoying the position
of military secretary.
The papers in the case have gone to

The following circular has been is

''All Agents, Connecting Lines and
Private Car Owners: In preparation fer
the taking effect of the United States

notice to all connecting lines and pri-

June 1, 1900, it will decline to accept for

Santa Fe Car Equipment in Ex-
cellent Shape.
Responsible For Reductions in
Car Repairing Forces.
CUT NOT PERMANENT.
Spring Traffic Will Cause Re-
employment of Men.
Majority of Cars Are Equipped
With Automatic COuplers.

The reductions being made by the
Santa F'e management in the car re-
pairing forces at different points are
principally due to the fact that the Car
equipment of the road is at present in
better shape than has been true for a
number of years. Reports show a re-
markably small number of bad order
cars.
forces at Argentine, Topeka, Ottawa. and
FIT. Madison. But comparatively few
men have SO far been laid off here, but
it is probable that further reductions
will be made within the next few days.
The cut in forces is temporary. The
road is at present enjoying a heavy
stock business, which will continue for
some time, and as a. result hundreds of
stock cars will need repairing when the
rush is over. The traffic of spring and
early summer will also place box and
refrigerator cars in condition for re-
pairs.
A considerable portion of the work
done in the repair yards of the Santa
F'e for the past year particularly, has
been the Quipment of all uneQuipped cars
with automatic couplers. In accordance
with the interstate commerce law all
railroad freight cars must be equipped
with air brakes and automatic couplers
by August of this year, and the Santa
t'e viii probably come as near as any
western road in complying with the
law. But a small per cent of the Santa
Re cars are as yet unequipped, and the
majority of these will be fitted with au-
tomato couplers by the required time
Under the provision of the law, cars
not equipped with automatic couplers
and air brakes can not be used in inter-
state commerce, and railroads will be
held liable for an injury to employees
working on such cars

At the Peter Cooper Dollar Dinner at

agreed to nominate Mr.. Bryan WedneS-

introduced a silver Democrat from New
York, DR.. J. H. Gardner of New York,
who said many Democrats in the En-
pire state were coming over to Bryan.
John w. Breidenthal of Kansas spoke
briefly. There was noticeable a concil-
iatOry tone in all the remarks of the
western speakers; the argument was to
the effect that fusion, good in 1896,
would be better in 1900.
Mr.. Bryan was greeted by great ap-
plause. There was little if anything new
in his address. It's tenor was an argu-
ment for the continuance of fusion He
specified the old issues upon which the
Democrats, POpulists and silver Repub-
Hcans fused in 1896, and pointed out the
reasons why they should stand together
now. He devoted more time to the
money plank than to any other one is
sue.
Mr.. Bryan took up the familiar issues
briefly and pointed out the common
ground upon which Populists and DEM
ocrats stood. He then took up the new
! issues incident to the war with Spain.
Tom Patterson and Cyclone Davis
talked for harmony and the putting
aside of small things. Mr.. Patterson
said that when they got to Sioux Falls
they should name Mr.. Bryan and leave
to the Democratic convention the nam
