FOR NEW BUILDING.
7. M G. A Board Adopts Plans for
Proposed Home.

At recent meeting of the board of man
ayers of the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A plans
for the new association building were sub
mitted by E. L. Hopkins, local archi-
tect, and were practically agreed upon by
the committee These specifications call for
the erection of a modern three story brick
structure. well lighted, and convenient for
the purpose to which it is to be put.
The general plan of the building is an
L-shape. the main part running north
ward from the street and the shorter wing
projecting along Fourth street parallel to
the street The location is to be on East
Fourth street, just east of the Santa Fe
tracks In the basement are to be the
boilers. a workshop, the tub and shower
baths and the swimming pool On the first
floor are rooms occupied by the secretary
boys smoking room, gymnasium and COM
mittee rooms The gymnasium can be con-
verted into an audience room and addi-
lions made by raising shutters which or
dinarily separate other rooms from it. On
the second floor are parlorS and rest rooms.
while the third are composed OF dormi-
tories and smaller rooms. There will be
q skylight and on the front will be porch
and a balcony opening out from the sec
ond story.
The structure was to have cost $50 900.
two-thirds of which President Ripley OF
the Santa Fe donated, providing the other
third could be raised 1t is understood
that, while nearly that sum has been
raised. the proposed building may cost a
little more, which additional sum No doubt
can be secured

is only 2150 miles from Halifax, which
will be the eastern terminus of the
Canadian Pacific railroad When the
distance between New York and Liver
pool is stated to be 8, $50 miles. the adj
vantage of the Halifax-Galway route
for speed will be appreciated. The
Canadians are calculating that a twen-
ty-four-knot steamship will make the
ocean trip in three days and that Lon
don can then be reached in twelve hours
from Galway. On this side the distance
from Montreal to Halifax can be COW
cred in fifteen hours. making the whole
time from Montreal to London in four
days, nearly two days under the best
possible time that can be made from
New York to London by way of Liver
pool With the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. train
from Montreal to Vancouver the English
traveller bound for Australia and the
East Indies can go from London to the
Pacific coast of North America in eight
days.

WILL RUN SPECIALS
Orient to Get Into Wichita Fair
Week

Wichita, Sept. 10.-The Orient railway
has a large force of men at work laying
track south of Waldron and there are
two big forces of carpenters at work on
the bridges across the Sandy and across
the Salt Fork The bridge across the
Sandy will be completed about the mid
die of this month and it will require but
few more days to lay the track into
Byron and from Byron to Salt Fork.
From the last named river the track
will be laid into Carmen without delay
and this will give the road seventy miles
of track and it is expected to have this
finished before the middle of October.
The track to Byron will be finished
about the Goth and trains will be run
ming on that date. H L. Resing, of the
fair association, and c. R. Burrows.
general agent of the Orient, have been
assured by the Missouri Pacific that
during fair week Orient trains will be
run into Wichita The Orient now has
the full equipment for two passenger
trains at Anthony and the cars will be
run from Byron to Anthony and then
transferred to the Missouri Pacific and
come on into Wichita as special trains
each day during four days of the fair
The Missouri Pacific will run specials
from all their nearby points to Wichita
during the fair and the Orient will run
one on each day from their southern
terminus to Anthony and on into Wich-
tia without change of trains. This ar
rangement has been made with the Mis-
souri, Pacific and it is expected that the
schedule will be published in a few days
giving the time of the trains leaving
Byron and arriving in Wichita

PLANS STEAMER LINE.
Canadian Pacific Would Make Time
Reduction.

1t is planned by the Canadian Pacific
railroad to make landing on the west
shore of Ireland for it's proposed line
of fast steamers from the eastern ter
minus of its line to the British islands
The English government is said to have
approved the plan after it was demon
strated by the railroad people that this
scheme would give the best connections
and the speediest route over which to
reach the East India possessions and
the colonies of the South sea. To evil
dence the ability of the road to make
fast time across the continent from
Montreal to Vancouver ninety-six-
hour train was put on few weeks ago.
The fact that the line will, In connec-
ton with the Pacific steamers flying
the British colors, be under the flag OF
England from the coast of England, or
Ireland to the termination of the jour-
ney in the south Pacific is used for its
sentimental effect. Above all, however
is the capacity to make rapid time for
the transmission of mails, troops. NUM-
lions of war or the ordinary freight of
commerce as well as passengers who
may have to pass between the home
country and the colonies on private or
public business.

Equipment on Western Roads.

Western railroads are likely to be
hampered this year in the handling of
traffic, particularly freight, in that they
will not be able to get the necessary
motive power and equipment for that
purpose. For months the great loco
motive and car erecting concerns have
been overrun with orders. and have
been obliged, while turning out great
er product than ever before, to compel
their customers to wait longer than was
desired for delivery Of machinery. Ac-
cording to a compilation Of the number
of engines ordered in one week recently
it run as high as coo and of those more
than two-thirds were freight 1ocomo-
struction companies to build as fast as
fall SO far behind and thus cause the
probable congestion in traffic which is
likely to come about this fall At the
Baldwin works, Philadelphia. the larg-
est engine building institution in the
world, the Santa Fe is getting it's Prai-
RE freight type, the largest of any COM
pany that patronized that firm. And
there are representa- tives of railroad
companies not only from over all the
United States. but even from Europe.
A Topeka man who was recently re-
tanned there as an inspector, said that
he met another inspector who repre-
scented an Indian railroad company and
that now he was in Germany looking
after matters relating to his position
So when it IS stated that the Santa Fe
has the biggest class of locomotives
turned out of the Baldwin works. the
comparison with the railroads of the
world is favorable.

BEAUTYs PARENTS.

Truth walked alone where she found
A boys heart for pleasure ground,
When suddenly there came a sound
OF nearing footsteps,
She turned and saw a manly face
And form, whose firm yet easy grace
Revealed In look and move the trace
OF noble concepts.
And he beheld that she was fair
And pure Of heart. And with an all
Diyinely born he begged to share
The joys around them.
Then Duty walked about with Truth,
For Duty is a gallant youth,
And all unconsciously be wo'th
Till Cupid found them.
No love like theirs was ever known,
And an angel from the white throne
Came down aud made them one,
While Heaven smiled.
In that bOyish heart they fingered Sill
Tho Satan urged that boyish will
To Danish them for aye, or kill,
And then reyiled.
But their home was founded there,
And by their magic touch and care
His soul became divinely fair,
And brave and true.
For Truth and Duty left no weeds,
Bat planted many golden seeds
That grew and bore noble deeds.
Was that boy you?

The blshopsshaped sleeve still holds

When spring comes with its gentle

brings TO our homes scenes Of suffering

The seeds Of disease which were Inn
perceptibly terminating during the
winter months, have developed and
planted in the system dangers that
now call for our instant care and
attention. Neglect and procrastina-
ton will only deepen existing perils
and lead TO death.
Before the advent Of spring you
must have noted symptoms, per-
