ROCK ISLAND REcHRIsTENED
Now Called the Rock Island Systemic
Takes In Tributary Lines IneOr-
pOrating a System
The "Great r. Island Route' 80

The Great Rock Island Route ceased
to exist IN name recently. In its place
was born tbs Rock Island System -
The change IN name is the result Of an
order issued by President Leeds, which
has been made necessary on account of
the numerous tributary lines acquired
by the Rock Island. It is not route"
now but a system" The Rock Island
system is composed Of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific; Chicago, Rock Island
& Texas; Chicago, Rock Island s FL Pa
50; Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern;
the St Louis. Kansas City & Colorado;
ChOctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf; Chicago,
Rock Island 81 Mexico; Chicago, Rock
Island * Peoria, and ChOctaw * North
ern lines.
In addition TO these lines II seems like
~ that the Rock Island will acquire sew
eral more roads and at the same time
build several hundred miles Of new road
that will be merged into this system
within the coming year.
The Kansas City & Southern, the Ma
pie Leaf and the Frisco system are three
roads which report says will soon belong
70 the Rock Island. A new line from
Fort Worth through Dallas TO Houston
and the Gulf Of Mexico will be completed
within the year and trains will be run
ming over the Kansas City st. Louis line
before 1903. Report also says that the
Rock Island is 10 have its own Pacific
coast line from FL PasO.
The work Of changing the trade mark
Of the Rock Island over its entire system
viii be a work Of greater magnitude than
most people not iniated into railroad
work will be able to comprehend. Every
sign IN the ticket Office windows from
one end of the country to the other must
be changed, and there are over 700 sta
tons on the main line alone. Every
sign at every commercial agency Of the
road of which there are at least a hun
dred or two all over the United States,
must be changed, and every sign on ev-
cry billboard, every coach, freight car,
switch engine and locomotive, and every
piece Of property of the road must be
changed. Every piece Of printed matter,
from letter heads, envelopes, blanks and
folders to the advertising pamphlets,
maps, etc, must be changed.
The change will necessitate painting
out the old trade that has become so
familiar to the travelling public on over
10000 freight cars, 500 passenger cars,
and nearly 700 engines, and the substitu-
would be difficult to estimate how long
it will take to complete the work Of
changing the trade mark of the com
pany.

Loved His Horses.

An exchange, which illustrates the
strong attachment that forms between a
good team, occurred at a public sale four
miles south of town Wednesday. 1t was
noticed that the owner Immediately
withdrew from the crowd upon the
bringing forth of a fine span of blacks,
but returned later when called upon to
describe the team. Among other things,
their age, ETC., he stated that he had
raised them from cOlthOOd; that they
were true, kind and faithful. Here he
could say no more, and crossing his arms
on the one nearest him he sObbed like a
child. The intelligent animal, evidently
realizing that something was wrong,
turned his head and gently pushed his
nose against his old masters face. Such
scenes are not witnessed every day in
this hard old world, and a glance at the
crowd Of farmers disclosed scores Of
moist eyes, and the auctiOner's voice
grew husky as 'he proceeded with the
sale Of the old friends. No man need be
ashamed Of such weakness, if such it
may be termed. 1t is one Of the finest
qualities attributable to mankind.-Jef-
fersOn Bee.

MOVEMENT TO ANNEX CUBA.
Senator Elkins Thinks Island Should
Be Admitted as a State.
President Palma Opposes Rebate
Plan Proposed by Sugar Beet SEN
atOrs and President ROOseveIt
May Negotiate Treaty.

Washington, June 16.-When the
senate met Saturday, Mr.. EIkins CIV
Va introduced a resolution prOyid-
for the annexation Of Cuba and its
admission as a state Of the union.
Elkis IS one of the ''insurgent'' sena-
tors opposed to granting concessions
to Cuba.
The resolution grants the consent
of congress to the erection Of the re-
public of Cuba as a state of the
union ito be called the state of Gu
ba with a republican form Of govern
ment, to be adopted by the people
Of said republic by deputies in con-
ventiOn assembled with the consent
of the existing government" A con
ditiOn is specified that the cOnsti-
tuition of the proposed state shall be
submitted to congress not later than
January 1, 1904. There also is pro-
vision that the debts of Cuba shall
not become a charge upon the gener-
al government
The resolution provides for the ap-
preparation of 100000 to carry its
provisions into effect.
Roosevelt May Negotiate Treaty.
Washington, June 17-President
lima, of Cuba. has indicated to
President Roosevelt his conviction
that the rebate proposition relative
to Cuban sugar las proposed by the
beet-sUgar senators) would be not
-only7rery Objectionable in itself but
would be expensive and almost i'm
possible to carry out in the distri-
button.
Should it become apparent that
there is no possibility of an agree
ment between the senate and the
house upon the pending reciprocity
propositions, then the president viii
probably endeavOr to simplify the
problem by dropping the house out
of the calculations. and negotiating
a treaty directly with President
Palma. 1t is true that such a treaty
would require the approval of two
thirds of the senate, but it is believed
that under the changed conditions
this would not be impossible of at
tainment- At any rate the situation
would be clarified by the omission of
the house from the calculation and
hence it is that the project is be-
ing earnestly considered.
