Rumored That It Will Take Colorado
and Southern Road.


Tt is whispered in inside railway cir
cles that the Santa Fe is moving toward
the total absorption of all the lines Of
the Colorado and Southern south of
Denver and the change may take place
almost any time, says the Denver News.
Negotiations are said to be in progress
in New York with that object in view.
At the same time the Union Pacific
financial management is preparing to
acquire the lines of the Southern north
of Denver. What is to be the fate of
the South Park road nobody knows
Local officers of the lines know nothing
of the plans of the inner circle
One of the reports discussed is that
the Santa F'e on the first of next month
is to assume charge of the Elizabeth
branch of the Colorado and Southern.
This was the route of the Colorado and
Southern between Denver and Pueblo
previous to the deal by which the tracks
of the Santa Fe We're used by the South
ern. If the Santa takes charge of the
old route of the Southern it viii be re-
garded as positive evidence of the final
acquisition Of the Colorado and South
ern BY the great corporation It may
require the rest of the year for the en-
tire plans to be cOnsummated.
The fact that the Union Pacific has
loaned half q dozen of its heavy engines
to the Colorado and Southern is an
other proof. in the opinion of some per
sons, that the land grant company is to
own the lines north of Denver. The en-
gines are being sent south and will as
which is about to start from the south
ern ranges toward Montana. Wyoming
and Dakota. The movement this year
is to be almost unprecedented on &C
count of the large tonnage which must
be carried within comparatively a linn
tied time. The lateness of the season
has delayed shipments and when they
start the trains Will come through Den
Yer with a rush
The Colorado and Southern has been
the enigma of railroad men of the
mountain region for months past. Moth
ing has been officially given out as to
the fate of this road. and it is now felt
that the division which has been limited
at in months past is rapidly approach
ing The Santa F'e already has its hand
fastened on one portion of the road and
officers of the Union Pacific have never
failed to regret that the profitable loop
branch and the lines leading into the
garden spots of northern Colorado were
ever permitted to be separated from the
parent stem. While filling its mission
as an Independent line the Colorado and
Southern has shown a progressiveness
which has made the road one of the
most popular railways in the west and
people living on all branches of the sys-
templated. One thing is certain. The
tiously feeling their way before making
sweeping changes. as they acknowledge
the sudden absorption of lines for years
Independent and devoted to upbuilding
the country, may arouse a public senti-
ment that would make it exceedingly
unpleasant for the railway stock and
bondhOlders.

crease in the Already Prevailing
Disease-Are ANY Exempt?

At no tine in the history OF disease
has there been such an alarming in
crease in the number of cases Of any
particular malady as in that Of kidney
and bladder troubles now preying upon
the people of this country.
Today we see a relative. a friend or
an acquaintance apparently well, and
in a few days we may be grieved to
learn of their serious illness or sudden
death, caused by that fatal type Of kid
ney trouble-Bright's disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes ad-
vanced into acute stages before the
afflicted is aware of its presence; that
is why we read of so many sudden
deaths of prominent business and pro-
fesional men, physicians and others
They have neglected to stop the leak in
time.
While scientists are puzzling their
brains to find out the cause, each indl-
vidual can, by a little precaution,
avoid the chances of contracting dread
ed and dangerous kidney trouble, or
tenn If already afflicted. Many precious
lives might have been, and many more
can yet be saved, by paying attention
to the kidneys.
1t is the mission of the State Journal
to benefit its readers at every oppor-
tunity. and therefore we advise all Woo
have any symptoms of kidney or blad-
der trouble to write today to DR..

MORE BIC SHOPS.
Santa Fe Shops at San Bernar-
dino to Be Doubled.
Employment For 1000 Men In
stead of 500.
PLANS BEING DRAWN.
Santa Fe is Buying Large Tract
of Land.
VIII Make Big Extensions on
Yard Tracks.
PLANS BEING DRAWN.

The Santa F'e. in addition to increas-
ing the capacity of its Topeka shops by
one-third, is about to commence work
on its shops at San Bernardino, Cal,
which when completed Will give steady
employment for 1000 men at that place
instead OF 500 as heretofore.
The San Bernardino papers are rejoic-
ing about the acquisition. One of them
the San Bernardino Evening Transcript
says:
'"The present capacity Of the Santa
Fe shops in this city is to be doubled.
There is no industry in southern Cali
fOrnia that is growing as rapidly as the
Santa Fe railroad shops in San Bernar-
dino. Additions have been added and
new machinery set until now the shops
are as large as any railroad shops on
the Pacific coast. And still the work
are crushed with business.
Now comes the news that the great
est leap forward Of all improvements is
to be made. The CAPACITY of the shops
is to be increased just one hundred per
cent Partial plans have been COM
pleted- The plans for a building which
will double the capacity OF the store
keepers department are completed and
the construction viii soon begin.
The plans for a new brass foundry
have not materialized yet because the
company is figuring on securing addi
tiOnal land The company intends to
double the working capacity of the up
hOlStering department and increase its
facilities to such an extent that it will
be no longer necessary to send cars
back east for fine trimming.
Other improvements viii be made in
other departments. When the work is
completed there viii be at least 800 men
carrying time blocks instead of over 500
as at present.
During the past winter the shops
nave encroached upon the miles OF yard
tracks until now more track room is an
absolute necessity There is only one
regular rip track for cars undergoing
repairs to stand upon but nevertheless
three other tracks in the yards have
been pressed in service as rip tracks
and they are pretty well filed with cars
The old coal chutes were torn down last
winter in order to give room for more
tracks but for some reason the tracks
were never built. Probably it was for
the reason that there wouldn't be much
additional room anyhow and that it was
thought better to wait and secure more
ground.
1.-THE company has made a bid for
vacant land on Fourth street directly
opposite the shops. Should they succeed
in purchasing it new shop buildings will
probably spring up on the north side Of
the street and much new track viii be
laid.
THE plans for extending the capacity
Of the shops have been under considera-
ton for several months and now the
work will be pushed rapidly It Will not
be surprising if LOCO men are at work
in the shops before another snow falls
on the mountains. AS it is now any
body who applies for work is given a
job"

FREIeHT RATEs COLLAPSED.
Bottom Dropped Out of Tariffs East
of the Missouri.


Freight rates west of the Missouri
river have, in the words of a Topeka
freight official, gone all to pieces The
drop in rates was sudden and complete,
and provisions moved from Kansas
City for export last week at some
where from 20 to 2315 cents off the 5S12-
cent tariff, lacking a cent or more of
reaching the bottom price of last year.
It was only a short time ago that the
eastern roads got together and
strengthened their agreement on this
class of traffic, and at that time it was
assumed the western roads would
maintain the tariff of 1917 cents be-
tween rivers without necessity of fur
Their agreement. The assumption was
erroneous, and it appears that the east
ern lines agreement was too frail to
stand the strain of a Tightening pro-
cess. 1t held for a little while and then
broke entirely.
Grain is going to the Gulf ports for
II cents. 1t has at times taken a, low
er rate than this via the Gulf, but pro-
baby never during the crop season
that is just passing Under the presi-
dents agreement of last June, which
the Gulf lines observed to a fuller ex-
tent than did their east and west COM
petitors, grain rates via the Gulf We're
better maintained from July of last
year to June of this than for any pre-
vious period of considerable length
since the completion of the PittSburg DC
Gulf AS a result the Gulf lines lost a
large portion of their rightfuI share of
the grain tonnage. 1t is possible the
present u cent rate is significant OF
intention in another direction this year.
This rate has set the pace for the east
ern lines.
A year ago the presidents were hold
ing meetings. every few days and pro-
nunciamentoes followed one another
rapidly, each declaring that rates were
to be restored July 1 and thereafter
maintained without exception. This
was not done, of course. but the presi-
dents agreements and the instructions
resulting from them were potent fac
tor in lessening the decentralization
Now, at the season when the firming UP
began last year. the pulling down pro-
cess begins, and the end is not in sight
All classes of freight traffic are affect
ed. The Texas and Colorado agree
ments appear to be still in effect and
rates to these territories to be main
tanned. this being the only exception to
the decentralization.
This great falling off in rates will not
affect Topeka in the least except on
through shipments to the Atlantic sea-
board W G. Musty, chief clerk in the
Santa Fe freight department says OF
the situation:
This collapse in rates is not likely
to last for more than two or three davs
Then the heads of the competing lines
viii get together and fix things I'D
again Such sudden drops in the rates
are due to misunderstanding among
the roads, and are very likely to occur
at any time. especially on the lines

MR.. KING LOSES.
Long Drawn Out Litigation Over His
Home at an End.

Long Drawn Out Litigation Over His
Home at an End.
Judge Hazen this morning decided
the suit of Hawkins vs.. King in favor
of the plaintiff, awarding Hawkins a
Judgment against King of $4,965.
The suit is an interesting one and
has been in the courts for several years.
In 1888 Col. A. L. Hawkins. who was in
command of the Tenth Pennsylvania
volunteers and who died on shipboard
while returning home with his regi-
ment, loaned to James L. King. of To-
peka, 81, 900. Mr.. King gave a mortgage
on his homestead at 5O6 Topeka avenue
to protect the note and paid the inter-
est when due until January. 1898. Mrs.
King made no payments of interest.
The claim was made that as Mrs. King
had not paid interest and as she was
the owner of the property the statute
of limitation had run against her and
that her property was exempt. In the
ruling the court holds that when hus-
band and wife execute a note or mort
gage on her property and the interest
is paid by the husband and she pays
nothing the property may yet be fore

STREAMS OF GOLD
Have Started From the Klondike in
Two Directions.

Seattle, Wash, June 25-Gold re-
ceipts by the steamship Dolphin from
the Klondike are: For Canadian Bank
of Commerce, 81, 600, 900; individual dust,
$3.50. 900. There was shipped via st.
A1ichaels on the 18th instant 80, 500, 000,
and there is on the way up the river
(estimated) $1,000,000. Alaska's output
of gold from the spring cleanup has
started in a steady flow to Seattle.
Over three tons of gold, or $500, 900, is
on it's way down the Yukon. 1t will
be brought from st. Afichaels probably
on the Roanoke. On the 10th over ST.,
000. coo was on its way up~the Yukon
from Dawson. 1t will probably arrive
on the next steamer.
According to advices on the Dolphin,
the miners in Ell Dorado creek. have
about finished their cleanup for the
season. The miners on the other creeks
are also well along with the work OF
segregating the gold from the earth in
which it is dug during the winter, and
an estimate of the total cleanup for
the district for the season places the
amount at between $15,000s000 and $780,
600 900.

closed and sold. The ruling OF the
court was for a judgment against King
and a foreclosure of the property and
no judgment against Mrs. king.
The case was in the supreme court
and was sent back to the lower court
for a rehearing. The decision before
the lower court was that Mrs. King
was relieved from the payment and
that her property was not liable. The
supreme court reversed the decisions
holding that when a prior mortgage on
the property was paid off by the loan
from Hawkins that Mrs. King could
not be surety but was principal Since
then the supreme court has decided the
same questions in other cases and
Judge Hazen made the ruling accord

BARBARoUs sPoRr.
Five Meucans Attempt to Wreck q
Train For Fun


Five Mexicans attempted to wreck
the Santa Fe flyer at Thornton, N. NJ,
last Saturday night just for fun, says
the Ell Paso Herald But their fiendish
work was discovered in time to save
the train.
The flyer is due through Thornton at
12:45 a. m. A few minutes before that
time the night operator, happening to
look down the track, saw that the
switch light had been turned out Has
tening to it he found that the lock had
been broken and the switch turned He
just had time enough to turn the switch
right and give a clear track when the
flyer came laundering by at the rate Of
45 miles an hour
On the siding were several nat cars
loaded with rails and telegraph poles
and crash into them would have
meant a terrible loss of life and proper
ty-
The station agent had seen five Mex
leans in the neighborhood Of the switch
and recognized one of them as Luvero
Romero, a workman on the road, and
when he came to the depot Sunday
morning to draw his check he was ar
rested by Special Officer Ben Williams,
who had been notified of the affair by
telegraph The officer took Romero to
Albuquerque Monday and placed him in
jail. He is a young man scarcely out
of his teens and claims Glorieta as his
home.
Romero confessed to being one of the
party of five but says he had nothing
to do with the breaking OF the lock and
the turning of the switch. He says his
companions did it, that they were
drunk and made the attempt to wreck
the train in order to break the monot-
ony and have a little excitement.
