HERE FROM MEXICO
Superintendent Hartman Wis
Ting in the City,
ORIENT is SURE THING
VIII be Butt Without Doubt
in His Opinion.

C. J. Hartman, superintendent Of the
Mexican Central railway, with headquar-
ters at chihuahua, Mexico, accompanied
by his wife, is in the city visiting Mrs.
Hartman's brother. Mr.. Stanford. at 607
North Market street. Mr.. Hartman was
formerly connected with the Atchison.
Topeka and Santa Fe railway as division
superintendent OF the Oklahoma branch,
and made his home in Wichita. He sew
cred his connection with the Santa Fe
four years ago and moved from this city
to FL Paso, Texas, where he accepted the
division superintendency of the Chihuahua
branch Of the Mexican Central.
In an interview last night with re-
porter for the Eagle Mr.. Hartman talked
in very interesting manner Of Mexico
and her railway systems, and especially
Of the Mexican Central road with which
he is connected. lie did not care TO be
quoted on matters concerning the recent
change in the board of directors Of the
Mexican Central anu when asked about
the late rumor connecting Mr.. B. F..
Yoakum of the Frisco with the chairman
ship of lie board he stated that he had
left Mexico before the meeting of the
directors and was therefore unable to
say anything further than it might be
possible.
Mr.. Hartman says the Mexican Central
is operated on a similar plan to all the
standard trunk lines of this country and
is thoroughly up to date in all equipment
and rolling stock. Mexico. he says, is on
the eve of big boom and American brain
and American capital is doing much to
push the country forward to better COM
mercial development.
There are now a half dozen railroads IN
Mexico building to the Pacific coast, and
in twenty-five years Mexico viii be like
Kansas, crossed and recrossed by a net
work of railroads. President Diaz is a
statesman of great executive ability and
he as well as other officials of the Mexi7
can government, is always willing to sup
port any enterprise tending to the better
ment of their country The Mexican peo-
pie and the government are ana have been
very good to the railroads. They want
the country developed and they realize
that it is foreign capital that will have TO
do it. 1t is considered in Mexico that the
Orient will be built. Mr.. Stillweu stands
high with the Mexican people and the
road mas doubtless received a liberal bo~
nus from the government. The talk in
Mexico now is that the Orient viii inter
sect the Mexican Central at chihuahua.
The duties of a division superintendent
are somewhat more arduous in Mexico
than they are in this country. and Mr..
Hartman has had to take a lay-off in
order TO rest up. He has been literally
living on his car and has been working
day and night until his health became
impaired and he was forced to take a
rest. He viii not return to MS work until
he is fully recuperated.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Hartman express
great surprise at the wonderful improve
ment made by this city since their alb
sence. and they still think that Wichita
is enc of the best places on earth.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.
1t involved the Expenditure Of a For.
tune Forsooth.

The impression that has gone abroad
throughout our country that one Of the
greatest industries of the past decade
was on the decline is u mistaken one.
During the exceedingly dun times from
1892 to 1896 there was no industry that
gave employment to such an army OF
first-class mechanics and tool makers as
did the bicycle business. It possibly
reached its zenith in 1885, at which time
the prices of grade bicycles began
to decline very rapidly, until now instead
Of $50 being the price of high-grade
bicycle, one-third of that buys the best
there is on the market, and one-half Of
the latter amount buys a mount that the
majority of cyclists are using. The man
ufacturers of bicycles went through a
long siege Of experimental work, the
most costly of any industry in the history
of our country, and by constant and un-
firing efforts brought the bicycle to its
present high standard at a medium cost
1t is safe to say that had it not been for
pneumatic tires the bicycle would never
have come into general use. This was the
one invention that made it popular
almost from the start.
About four years ago another inven-
ton was brought out that has proven
the second greatest invention ever added
to this popular device. 1t was not like
the pneumatic tires, however, in one re-
spect, in that the trade wanted it at
sight, but it required months and years
Of patient, persistent work to convince
the public that it was what the manu-
facturers and inventors claimed for it.
Il
Coaster and Brake. It was put on the
market by the Eclipse Bicycle company,
a concern that for ten years had made
the bicycle carrying its name. and which
had been sold extensively all over the
world. Last year the company had to
spend a small fortune for machinery and
tools with which to make this device
but manufactured the large number of
1876, 600 of the brakes, which were sold IN
nearly all parts of the world. At present
the factory "a very large one) is being
operated day and night, and has been for
the past year. It now has a capacity of
more than 1000 brakes per day, which
are going to cyclists in all parts Of the
civilized world. The advantage of this
well known device is that a cyclist
always has his or her mount under con-
troll. and when going down a slight in
cline or hill, the feet can rest perfectly
still on the pedals. and in case the speed
is too much accelerated, a slight back
ward pressure of either pedal viii set
the brake automatically. The well known
Morrow Coaster Brake Of the Eclipse
Manufacturing company IS device
which it is predicted by manufacturers
viii soon be on every bicycle in the
known world.

WHERE'S The MONEY
Mrs. Cairns Savings Cannot
be Found.
BURIAL is POSTPONED
For the Purpose of Identified
ton by Bankers.

The remains of Miss Eliza Cairns are
still held at Dmbars undertaking estab-
Iishment The funeral has been delayed
while Coroner NcConister has been try
ing to find several hundred dollars which
it is claimed Inc dead woman had shortly
before her death.
Eliza Cairns worked for several years in
the Wichita laundry. She was a honest,
hard working woman and when she was
not working in the laundry she served in
private families in the city. She was
saving her hard earned money. and from
the best Information gained by the coro-
ner she had several hundred dollars at
the time Of her death. Friends Of the
dead woman go to the undertaken and
the coroner and tell them that she ought
not TO be buried until all Of the bankers
have seen her and ascertained whether
any Of them can identity her as a person
who. has left money with them. Inquir-
les so far has failed TO reveal where her
money was deposited.
Coroner AcCoNister called on County
Attorney Comfy last evening and the two
officials discussed the matter and it was
understood came to some understanding
as to what was to be done in the matter
Some proceedings will be taken that viii
allow witnesses to be examined. Newton
Garst is of the opinion that Miss Cairns
had several hundred dollars. A well
known business man on East Douglas
avenue told Undertaken Dunbar that he
had the best OF reasons for believing that
Miss Cairns had between eight and nine
hundred dollars shortly before her death.
He had not the remotest idea where she
kept her money.
It has been suggested that Miss Cairns
had placed her money somewhere in a
safety deposit or that she might have
put il IN a box and left it in safe some
where in the city. There is no suspicion
attached TO any one for the reason that
nobody seems 10 know whee she kept her
money. 1t has been suggested that she
might have left it with some of the loan
agents in the city but none have come
forward to renort That they have it.
This is certainly very mysterious case
She had no relatives in this section Of the
country. but she had friends. She was
counted q good. honest woman by those
who knew her best. tt seems singular
that she did not have a bank book OF
some receipts that would give some clue
tc where her money was placed. Tho
most reasonable explanation was giver
yesterday by "a gentleman at the court
house. He came to the conclusion thai
she was afraid of banks and that she kept
her money concealed somewhere. II
might be buried in the ground or con
cealed about the house where she had
last lived and the family might find +
Iong years hence.

General Myers says the Topeka In

General Murray -.4yers came down from
Topeka yesterday. He is purchasing
agent for the Topeka insane asylum, and
from his description of the institution and
its management the state of Kansas has
grounds for being proud of its charitable
institution.
General Myers says the grounds are
very beautiful and that there are 20
acres of land belonging to the institution.
They have 50 cows and other stock on the
farm. There are 200 inmates of the in

surprised to find such splendid discipline.
He says the inmates are treated kindly

corner Of Douglas and Water steets he
met A. A and L. N. Lawson, horse buy
ers in the southern part of the city. He
offered the horse for fifty dollars and the
trade was soon made, the money was
paid over and the Lawson brothers took
the horse.
After they had taken a second look at
their purchase they more than ever
thought they had a bargain. One Of the
brothers then suggested that perhaps
Erickson had stolen the horse. They no.
ticed as Erickson walked away he Kept
LOOKING back over his shoulder. One of
the brothers told him to stop, but instead
Of obeying the request Erickson started
on the run up Water street. The two
Lawson brothers gave chase and were
gaining on Erickson when he ran towards
the old Missouri Pacific depot. He ran
between a freight car and a high fence
and by that time one of the LaWsons was
at either end of the car. Erickson that
he was cornered and he said: "AIl right,
you have caught me, boys, stole the
horses"
Morgan told him to hand out that fifty
dollars the very first thine he did. He
handed out the money and one of the
brothers took him to the sheriff's Office
and turned him over TO Deputy Sheriff
SyI Dunkin to whom he also confessed
that he had stolen the horses. He told
the deputy that the horses belonged to
Henry Wolf who lived eight miles east of
hingman. He said he was working in
that neighborhood and was hard up or
he would not have stolen the horses. Just
why a young man who had a job of work
with a Kansas farmer at fair wages and
board should be compelled to steal he fail
ed to fully explain.
When the Sheriff of Kingman county
told Deputy Syl Dunk4n a half hour later
that he had three horses stolen in his
county and described them, Mr. Dunkin
told him that he had the horses and the
thief was in the Sedgwick county Jail
That was too quick and the sheriff Of
Kingman county thought there was some
mistake about it, but when told that he
had the right man. the Kingman sheriff
asked Mr.. Dunkin to hold him until he
could come in and return the prisoner to
Kingman county.
