Streets of La Junta.

La Junta, Colo. March 25.-Mrs
Henrietta Miller, resident Of Los An
geles, Cal, 76 years of age. was as
saulted by a negro in the railroad yards
here early this morning and is suffer
ing severely from the injuries received
and the shock to her nerves. She was
travelling to Denver to visit relatives
and left the Santa Fe Chicago limited
train here to change cars. She asked
q Pullman car porter to show her to
the car which she should take. He
started through the railroad yards with
her, and struck her on the head. she
says with his fist, rendering her in
sensible. She was then criminally as
saulted and left unconscious in the
yard. When she regained her senses
she dragged herself to the depot and
reported the circumstances. The Chi
cago train had not yet left, and W. III.
Wallace, a Pullman porter, was imme-
diately arrested. He had just been
washing his clothing. Bloodhounds
were put on the trail made in the yard
by the man who accompanied Mrs
Miller, and they followed it to the car
in which Wallace was found. Threats
of lynching are uttered by many per-
sons in the crowd surrounding the hotel
where Wallace is being held by the
officers.
Mrs. Miller has identified Wallace as
her assailant. Sheriff Barr has taken
the prisoner to Pueblo for safe keeping.

STAHL FOR COUNCIL MAN
He is Dark Horse Candidate
Against Weber.

The long expected dark horse candi-
date against Councilman w. F. Weber
in the Fourth ward, has arrived, and his
name is Frank NJ Stahl, ex-chief of po-
lice of the city of Topeka.
The scheme to beat Mr.. Weber by
means of the "Snattinger trick" is not
likely to succeed as well as the original
performance of that little drama. Some
body has let the cat out of the bag.
Ex-Chief Stahl now lives a Fourth
and Western avenue, and has apparent

Topeka, He has been selected to make
the race for councilman because of his
radical prohibition sentiments, which it
is expected will enable him to get a

Anour MAYOR PARKER.

wouldn't it be we'll. gentle reader, to
give our mayor, Mr.. Albert Parker, a
chance to collect himself in his efforts
TO give the city of Topeka good ad-
ministration? He has been in office only
a few weeks and yet he has been
harassed, annoyed and unjustly criu-
cized in a way that would induce the
ordinary mortal to resign and turn the
affairs of the municipality over to other
hands.
we do not believe that it is a good
thing for the city. or that it will en-
courage Mr. Parker, when he undoubt-
eddy wants to do the very best. things
for the welfare of the city. to unwar-
rantably abuse and condemn him on
every occasion
There are some evils in Topeka for
which Mr.. Parker is not responsible.
There are some things that no mayor
on earth could fix to the satisfaction
of all the people.
We believe III giving Mr. Parker cred
it for trying to find the best method for
ldoing the best things for the best city
in the state
We believe he should be given tine to
breathe. We do not think that any in
temperate sermons or rawhidings from
irate women. with whatever good inten-
tions they may be accompanied, will
tend to accomplish speedy results.
Mr. Parker has many serious prob
lens on his hands. He should be sup
ported by our best people and made to
feel that the majority of the citizens
voted for him for the office because they
believed he could administer the duties
we'll and they meant to give him a
chance
The subject which is uppermost in
the minds of many Incorporate PEG

of the joints. We do not believe that
the joints are going to be closed by
women going before Mr.. Parker and
declaring that they are glad that he
was kept from his office for nine
months when the people had actually
chosen him for that place.
Mr. Parker has told the writer that
so far as he, the mayor. is concerned, if
it were possible to do so he would like
to close all of the Joints tight. He
knows of no mayor. even Col. Hughes.
who has ever succeeded in doing this.
1t is declared there are fewer joints now

We are not indorsing any of Mr.. Par

of our citizens wanted to put in the chair.
He is overwhelmed with some weighty
and important issues well the joints.
He has waterwoTks matters. street car

]. ]. FREY HERE.
Says Work on Alaska Railroad
Will Commence Soon.
No Doubt of Success of Project,
He Asserts.

1--WE are in hopes that the actual
work of the construction of the Trans
alaskan railroad Will be under way by
the middle of the summer" declared j.
J. Frey, formerly general manager of
the Santa Fe.
Mr. Frey is at the Copeland hotel. He
came to Topeka last night on the Rock
Island from Kansas City. He left New
York only last week and stopped day
at Sedalia, Mo-, to visit relatives before
coming to Topeka where business of a
private character demands his attention
for several days.
Mr.. Frey will go to Denver from To-
peka where he will hold conference
with the other officers of the newly or
ganized railroad company, and will af-
forwards go to San Francisco and to
Seattle, the headquarters of the new
railroad, in the interests of the road.
The preliminary surveys have been
run for the line" continued Mr.. Frey,
and engineering experts are now work.
ing with the surveyors along the line
of the proposed route making the per-
manent surveys.
We had been in hopes of getting the
actual construction work well under
way during the early months of this
spring, but found it utterly impossible.
1t is a gigantic undertaking, and as
great bodies move slowly, it is taking
more time than we had thought it
would. There are so many details to
the use of four rooms at the Hotel
Willard at Washington during the win
ter and the work has kept several
clerks busy all the time.
I'VE are quite confident of the pass
age of the land grant bill now pending
in congress-" he said going to his trunk,
and bringing out a stack of letters eight
inches thick. These are some of the
assurances of friendship to the project
we have received from congressman and
senators. We are not trying to rush the
bill through congress. We are endeav
oring to give the men berS of congress
an opportunity to investigate the pro-
ject and see for themselves what it is.
We are gradually gaining friends, and
there seems not the slightest doubt but
that the bill will be passed when it
comes up for final reading.
THE road will undoubtedly be built if
the land grant is not made by congress.
We have had no difficulty in financing
the road, and 1 believe our company
will not hesitate to build the road in
event it becomes necessary for us to
buy the right of way. The advantages
to the government are many fold in
making the grant 1t would entitle the
government to free transportation for a
period of ten years, for everything that
is sent into Alaska.
The principal officers of the company
are western men. They are J. ]. Frey,
president; A. L. New, Denver, vice pres
ident; S. L. Selden, general attorney
and F. 5. Granger, Denver, general
manager.

Special to tho Evening Journal.


Bridgeville, April Especial Agent
NJ s. Plummer, of the rural delivery
mail service has been here this week
for the purpose Of establishing two
more deliveries from this pOstonice
With c. p. Swain he has driven over
the proposed routes, and the deliveries
will be established without delay. One
route will be from Bridgeville to
Oakel, thence to Cannon's on the Della
ware railroad to Bridgeville. The
other will be in the vicinity of Scott's.
It was the purpose of Mr.. Plummer to
establish a route to st. Johnstown,
thence to Owens Station, but This had
to be abandoned owing to the few
houses on the route, and consequently
there would be few patrons.
The route established from this
postoffice several months ago, has met
with great approval, and each month
there is a considerable increase in
both the number of pieces of incom-
ing and outgoing mail. In other parts
of the county Mr.. Plummer expects to
shortly establish routes. The people
in several parts Of the county have pc
titioned the department asking that
routes be established.
