NEW PULLMAN MANAGEMENT
Divisions Created and Appointments
Made.

Important changes in the mana cement
of the Pullman company are announced
by Vice President Wickes, to become eff
fective on November /
George F. Brown will be general mana
ger of the manufa curing department.
c. A. Garcelon will be general manager
of the operating department
w. Fl. Reed will be general superintend-
emit in place of C. A Cfarcelon promoted.
The present general operating divisions
namely: Chicago. Atlantic. New York
Eastern, St. Louis and Pacific, will be
abolished. and instead four divisions Gre
ated, with appointments as follows:
Northwestern division, c. r. Wagner,
superintendent, with headquarters at Chi

Northeastern division ]. S. Merrill. SUI
perintendent, with headquarters at New
York city.
Southeastern division, ia mes Martin, SUI
perintendent, with offices at Philadelphia.
Southwestern division, D. H. Martyr, SUI
perintendent, with headquarters at St.
Louis.
Not only will these changes result in
great saving of money on account of the
smaller number of superintendent to be
employed. but the business of the COM
pany it is claimed will be better and
more effectively handled by four men than
it could be by six.

BEGIN GRADING DEG. 1.
Orient Line Between Wichita and
Harper Will Be Started.

Wichita, Kas., Oct. 22.-Mr. w. p
Robinson, jr., vice president of the con-
struction company which is doing the
grading on the Orient railway, was IN
the city recently and stated that his
company would begin work on the line
between Wichita and Harper, KaS., be-
fore December 1. He came to this city
to get acquainted with the business
men here and to look over the proposed
right of way with reference to the
grade and amount of work needed in
the construction of the line between
this city and Harper. He stated that
they were going to build the best line
of railroad in the state and the grades
would be eliminated as much as pos
sible and the road would be as near
level as it was possible to make it.
The work from this city to the Min
nescash river will be comparatively
very heavy work will have to be done
standard required
up to within one and one-half miles of
the city limits south of the Friends
university. The company does not
know as yet what route will be taken
to come into this city. so the line can
not be worked until this matter is de-
cided.
1t is possible that the road may enter
over the Missouri Pacific tracks, and it
is just as possible that the road may
enter over some other tracks or have
street and tracks of its own. Several
sites have been surveyed for the loca-

Geary County Apples.

The partial failure of the apple crop
in the east has made it necessary for
the buyers to come west. For the past
month New York dealers have been
buying up all the apples that are for
sale in Kansas. They have visited all
portions of the state and are competent
to Judge. This week they visited Geary
county and bought many thousands of
bushels Their praise of Geary's crop
was unstinted, and everyone of them
claimed that the apples here were bet
ter than anywhere else in the state.
Apples in other portions of the state
were more or less affected by the
drought. Cutter & Son sold 1 500 bushels
to one New York firm and are now hav-
ing the apples picked. They keep twelve
to fifteen pickers busy every day. The
buyers are already shipping barrels in
preparatory to shipping the fruit. This
is only one of the many purchases in
the county,

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 22.-Effective Sun
day, November 8, improvements in CAL
ifornia passenger service will be made
via the Chicago Northwestern, Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific through
line. On that date the overland limited
will leave Chicago at 8 p. m. instead
of $3.50 p. m, as at present, and will
reach San Francisco at Sis p. M, in
stead of 6:55 p. M as now, thereby re-
ducing the time between Chicago and
San Francisco by this train a little
more than three hours.

Francisco at 4:15 p m. The California
express will leave Chicago at 1880 p.
m. daily and reach San Francisco at
Sis a. M, instead of 1925 p. m. as

shorten the time acros the continent,
but will give through trains and sleep
ing car service between Chicago and
San Francisco three times every day.

Rock Island and D. & r. G.

Fort Worth, Tex. Oct. 22.-It is expected
that trains will be running on the Santa

the Santa Fe Central is completed.
An engineering corps of fifteen men of
the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe is at
present surveying new line around
Apache canyon for the main line of the
Santa Fe railroad to avoid the canyon.
The lines thus far staked will bring the
main line much nearer to Santa Fe and
railroad officials have given assurance
that if a suitable grade be found the
main line will be built via ClOrieta, Santa
Fee and Pena Blanca.

Upton WILL WAIT.
Not to Challenge For Americas Cup
Next Year.

New York. Oct. 22.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton will not be challenger for the
Americas cup next year. In an inter
view late last night Sir Thomas also
absolutely denied that he had any in
tention of bringing a new boat to COM
pete for the cup next fall He said:
Il am not DESTROYS of holding a mo-
nopoly in the matter of challenging for
the Americas cup. 1 propose to wait
for a reasonable time after 1 get back
to the other side and see if any of the
other British sportsmen desire to enter
a challenge.
What L intend to do is this: 1 will
leave the Shamrock II this side.
She will remain here all next summer
and will race with any and all boats
that care to meet her. and I will come
over myself"
While Sir Thomas denied that he in
tends building a new challenger fol
next year, he would not deny that he
would ultimately build a new boat On
this subject he said:
Il was beaten by a better boat than
the Shamrock IL You see do not see
how / can ever expect to lift the cup
with my boat. Nobody ever saw Sir
Thomas Upton put on his coat in the
middle of a fight, and the fight for that
cup has only begun. I certainly mean
to have another try for it, may be sew

P. GROVE DRAWS NEAR
Says He is Now Within 25 Miles
of Omaha.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 22.-Pat Grove has
written another letter to the chief of
police. This latest CON munication from
the alleged kidnaper was mailed in
Omaha and states that the much want
ed Pat is secluded within 25 miles of
this city. The writer insists that unless
he is given assurance from the court
that his bond will not exceed $500 he
will not give himself up. The commune
cation is evidently written by the same
man that wrote letter to the chief
week ago. A brother of Pat Grove and
a sister both identified the writing as
that of the man who has SO long evaded
the police and detective forces of the
country. They profess to believe that
the brother is near Omaha at this time.

ball the Normars 25-yard line in pos
session of the college team. Both teams
played good ball. The Normal team
averages about ten pounds more than
the college, who made their gains on
snappy playing. The Normal team
plays much faster ball than at the first
of the season and have good prospects
for the near future. o. NJ. White has

which can hold the town championship
for two years. The college has one
magnificent cup, won over the Normals.

the country is so great that there are
not enough freight cars to accommodate
the traffic At the office of the Trunk
Line association it was learned today
that there were complaints of shortage

view of the fact that the car facilities
of the country were never so large as at
present. An officer of one large trunk
