RAILROAD NEWS.
A Change Likely on Western
division of Santa Fe.
Mr.. Parker Will Go to Denver
as Joint Superintendent.
ALONG TIME CONTRACT
Santa Fe and Colorado Southern
to Continue Agreement.
This Will Be Responsible For
Mr.. Parker's Promotion.

Mr.. R. J. Parker, superintendent Of
the western division of the Santa Fe,
will probably assume the position Of
joint superintendent of the Santa Fe
and Colorado & Southern tracks be-
tween Pueblo and Denver on July 1.
This will leave vacant his present posi-
ton and likely result in another rear
rangement of Santa Fe division super
intendents.
July 1 is the date on which the pres
ent contract between the Colorado and
Southern roads governing traffic be
tween Pueblo and Denver expires. The
Colorado & Southern is DESTROYS of max
ing a new contract for a number Of
years, and it is said that the Santa Fe
is satisfied with the traffic arrangement
which has existed for the past eleven
months. There seems to be nothing in
the way of a long time contract being
entered into, and in such event Mr..
Parker will undoubtedly remove to
Denver as joint superintendent.
The Colorado and Southern and San
ia F'e tracks are parallel between Pu-
eblO and Denver. Under the present
arrangement one track is used exclus-
lively for freight and the other for pas
senger.
The question of a long time contract
will probably be settled within the next
few days. General Manager Nudge
stated yesterday that he saw nothing
in the way of the present traffic agree
ment being continued.
AS yet nothing definite is known con-
corning a. successor to Mr.. Parker as
superintendent of the western division.

THE UNION PACIFIC ROW.
Chief Engineer Berry Says He Did
Not Agree With Mr.. Burt.

Omaha, June 1.--Relative to the Chey-
enne special stating that there had been
an alteration between President Burt,
Chief Engineer Berry and Superintend-
ent Harris of the Wyoming division in
the presidents private car in Wyoming,
resulting in both Mr.. Berry and Mr..
Harris rendering their designations, Mr..
Berry yesterday made positive denial of
the part relating to him.
1T is untrue, and do not understand
how the report could have originated"
said Mr.. Berry.
During our entire week out on the
line not an unkind word passed between
Mr.. Burt, Mr. Dickinson or myself. I
have not rendered my resignation,
neither have I been asked for it. OF
course, Mr.. Harris has resigned, as you
already know"
Nothing would be stated at the presi-
dents Office about the matter at all.
The report of a GOODNESS between Mr..
Burt and Mr.. Berry has caused much
surprise and discussion among railroad
men locally. who hesitate to believe
such to be the fact.
For nearly all of the time for twenty
five years past they have been init
mately associated in railroad wok and
Mr.. Berry became chief engineer of the
Union Pacific, leaving the Elknorn at
the invitation of Mr.. Burt. Their hand
some residences are adjacent to each
other on Thirty-ninth street. and the
social relations of their families have
been intimate for many years.

ANINTERNAL REMEDY.
A Pleasant Tasting Tablet; Simple,
Convenient; Cures Every Form
of Catarrh.

The use of inhalers, douches, sprays,
salves and powders for catarrh is
nuisance and inconvenience at the best.
and cannot compare with antiseptic
remedies in tablet form for internal use.
Internal remedies are the only ones
which can really reach the seat of the
disease which is in the blood and local
applications can no more cure catarrh
than rheumatism or kidney trouble, the
excessive secretion in nose and throat
being local manifestations of a deep
seated poison in the blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the most
successful of the various internal rene
dies, is composed principally of highly
concentrated antiseptics, which destroy
the catarrh germs in the blood and
causes them to be eliminated through
the natural channels.
Progressive physicians use and advise
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets because they
contain no cocaine, no opiate, no eper-
waiting drug whatever, but are compos-
ed of Guaicol, Hydrastin, Red Gum and
similar catarrh antiseptics, and are so
safe and pleasant that even little child
rem may use them with excellent re-
suits.
Catarrh sufferers who have wasted
time and money on local applications
should not despair of a radical cure in
til trial of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
has been made.
A complete treatment may be pur-
chased at any drug store for fifty cents.

UNDER TWO FLAGS.
Confederate Sons of Veterans Seem
Disposed to March.

Louisville, KY, June by a vote of
101 to 6S the Sons of Confederate Vet
Grams laid on the table a motion offered
by w. H. McLaws, division commander
of Georgia, that only the confederate
fiag be carried in the Sons of Veterans
division of the confederate reunion pa
rade.
Mr.. McLaws said he understood the
United States flag was to be carried at
the head Of the Sons of Veterans.
a number of delegates made speeches,
and it became apparent that an unex-
pected issue had come before the con-
vention. Several delegates strongly
urged that the Sons of Veterans carry
both the United States and the confed-
crate flags in the parade.
The part played by the south in the
Spanish-American war and President
Mckinley's recent action in wearing a
confederate button, and suggesting that
the United States government treat the
soldier were urged as reasons why the
United States flag should be carried by
the Sons of Veterans. After a number
of speeches had been heard there were
rejofrderS. The discussion was growing
wider and more interesting when it was
cut off by the motion to table Mr.. Nc
Laws motion. All the speakers said
no veterans son was today disloyal to
the United States flag, but they re-
garded the confederate flag as the en-
blem of their organization, and thought
it should lead their parade for that rea-
son. AS the discussion had prolonged
considerably the session Of the conven-
ton adjournment was taken after the
tabliug of the McLaw motion until to-
morrow, when the question is expected
to come up for final action

BALLOT THAT NEVER CAME.
How Senator Bakers Supporters Car
ried the Day.

The senatorial convention which nom
mated Frank Vincent of Hutchinson for
the state senate in the district COM
posed of Reno, Pratt and Kingman
counties. was one of the most interest
ing conventions of the year The con-
test was very close and until the last
ballot by which Vincent was nominated
the combined opposition had it in their
power to defeat him. but this element
worked too slow in the convention and
Vincent captured the prize.
Mr.. Vincent is a Baker supporter in
stead of for Burton as at first reported,
having for years been one of the Sew
enth district managers of the faction of
the party which now seeks the reelec-
ton of Mr.. Baker to the senate. The
story of the convention as told by W.
7. Morgan, state printer, is an interest
ing one.
Reno county's candidates held a eau
Gus, following the early session of the
convention but reached no agreement.
At that stage of the game" said Mr..
Morgan, the chances of Reno county
getting a state senator were no better
than a rabbits. kingman and Pratt
counties did not conceal their eXultation
when the ballot which was taken on the
reassembling of the convention showed
only AZ votes for Vincent, indicating a
split that would insure the nomination
Of Hardy.
Here was where the other counties
made their blunder They delayed get
ting together while the Reno county
delegates labOred diligently to SOlidify
their ranks. Vincent gained slowly. On
the seventeenth ballot Pratt county
threw sOlidly to Hardy. giving him 81
votes, only short of a nomination. On
the next ballot half a dozen Reno dele
gates who had been voting for Hutche-
son changed to Hardy but as they went
to him the Pratt delegation decided to
| give DIR. Hutchinson another vote, and
| the nineteenth ballot result Vincent so
| Hardy 40, Hutchinson %. scattering 9.
1t looked like a cinch for Hardy for

! Reno and when Pratt came to him
again he would win. The King1nan

But the Reno county delegates were

er by the action of the other counties

majority of the delegates wanted to go

that they should stand by Hutchinson
| Two ballots more and that was finally
conceded, and then they were to be SOL

That delay beat Mr.. Hardy. On the
nineteenth ballot Reno pulled itself al

votes. There was one more ballot to be
/ taken before the Pratt county vote
should nominate Hardy on the twenty

and as the count proceeded it was evil

the error of the others. The last vote
