rwENrY-oNE BIDS IN.
No Lack of Competition for Building
Santa Fe Cutoff.

1t is announced that the contract for
the construction of the Santa Fe cutoff
in New Mexico, may be awarded any
day. This Construction. it is estimated
VIII require eighteen months to two
years. There is a great demand for rail-
road workmen just now, particularly
in Colorado where the MOffat road,
Santa Fe, Rock Island and Denver &
Rio Grande are in the field for contract
labor.
Twenty-one bids for the Santa Fe
cutoff construction are now in, at the
headquarters of the engineering depart
ment, Chicago, and the largest contrac-
tors of the United States are rivals fol
the work. Owing to the mild climate
of New Mexico and the long period of
time necessary for the completion of the
work, this contract will prove a strong
counter attraction to the Moffat road
and will draw many men from the
Denver field during the coming year.
The bidding will be lively from the start
and the only obstacle the Santa F'e con-
tractors may fear. is that if they bid too
eagerly for men from Denver, they may
incur the i'll will of the management
of the Moffat road and be shut out from
participation in contracts of the road as
it progresses into Utah. A large con-
tractor likes to have several fields in
which to operate at the same time, so
that possible losses in one part of the
operations may be offset by gains in
another

NUDGE WORKED FOR HIM.
Supt- Dyer Watching Work of His
Former Private Secretary.

The Denver News says: General Sup
erintendent Charles Dyer of the Color
ado & Southern road IS noting with
special interest the movement of the
Santa Fe Railway company in prepar-
ing for shortening its line to the Pacific
coast Mr.. Dyer was superintendent of
one of the large divisions of the Santa
Fe for years. and more than once trav-
ersed the country which it is now pro-
posed to cross in the new construction
in New Mexico.
The work is to be in charge of H. L.
Nudge, general manager of the Santa
Fe, who was at one time private secre-
tary of Mr.. Dyer. Mr.. Dyer and his pri-
vate secretary went hunting each year.
as a relief from the labors of railroad
ing, and they discussed the advantages
which would accrue to the Santa Fe if
the heavy haul over Ration pass could
be eliminated and a more desirable route
across the mountains secured.

CHRISTMAS RUSH.
Railroads Did an Unparalleled Pas
senger Business This Year.

The passenger business done by the
railroad lines west of the Missouri river
this Christmas was enormous. Day after
day the capacity of trains was taxed to
the utmost. In order to handle the i'm
mense amount of people who were desir-
Gus of spending Christmas in some other
locality it was necessary to add extra
cars at nearly every station. In fact the
passenger traffic has been in a turmoil
ever since the rates We're put on and it
will probably continue to be so until they
are closed on January 2 1903. The Rock
Island did extra large business. 1t
was announced by the officials of that
road that the passenger business this
year was great deal heavier his Christ
mas than last and that more money was
made this year with the rate of one fare
for the round trip than was made ia 9TH
er years when the rate was a fare ana
one-third for the round trip. The con-
ditions at the Santa Fe were the same.
and all say that over one-third more
business was done this Christmas than
was ever done before
Before Christmas the rush for tickets
was SO great at the Santa Fe ticket office
here that It was necessary for the pas
sengers to form in lines before Nhe ticket
windows. and wait their turn as they do
at the opening sale for some big theatre
cal production.

AFTER THE BOOZE.
Burglars Visit Santa Fe Depots IN
Search of Whisky.

Of late along the Santa Fe a great
many depots have been broken into, and
the chief reasons for the thefts seems
to be to get whisky. says the Emporia
Gazette. Packages containing whisky
are the only things the burglars want.
OF late Jake Harmon, the Santa F'e
detective. is kept on the jump hunting
up the thieves in such cases. The most
recent of the thefts reported are the
depots at Benedict, a few miles south of
here. and Burden. both on the Howard
branch. Also a short time ago at Hart
ford on the Katy the depot was bur-
glarized and several packages of whisky
were stolen. The fact is that Kansas is
such a dry state that men have to steal
whisky or go dry-if they have no
money to send to Kansas City for it.

of William H. Hearst. a Democratic
candidate for that Office. has been ex-
posed by opponents of Mr.. Hearst who
are friends of David B. Hill. 1t was the
subject of discussion among the Demo-
cratic politicians at the Hoffman house
and the Republicans at the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel. Those who are acquainted
with its details describe it as the most
daring enterprise in the history of New
York ssolitics.
Mr.. Hearst's agents talked about this
plan to certain Democratic leaders OF
Brooklyn whom they desired to interest
in it. Brooklyn is the center of Mr..
Hills Democratic influence in the state
A month ago Mr.. Hill announced that
John B. Stanchfield, of Elmira, would be
the Democratic candidate to succeed Mr.
Plat.

WANT 20 PER CENT.
Railway Clerks Will Open the Wage
Battle in Chicago.

The opening sldrmish of the western
railway clerks for an increase in pay,
which was exclusively announced in the
State Journal some time ago, will likely
be fought out in Chicago. The reports
from there indicate that the battle for a
20 per cent raise will soon be on there,
and if it proves to be successful. it will
no doubt encourage the clerks to de-
mand the same increase on all parts of
the various railways.
Santa Fe clerks in the general offices
here are much interested in the move
ment, and branch of the Railway
Clerks association has been organized
here.
A dispatch from Chicago says:
Freight handlers and railroad clerks
are preparing demands for an increase
in wages on all roads in the city, which
will be presented to the different COM
panies early next month.
The scale for the railroad clerks was
discussed in the meeting of the Railway
Clerks association of America. and tile
demands will be for a horizontal in
crease of 20 per cent over present wages.
The wages now are from $40 to $50 per
month.
While the plans have been kept a
secret there has been unusual activity
among the clerks for several weeks in the
way of organizing There are now over
!, 200 members in the union, which was
formed last summer. and they include
men from all the railroads entering the
city There Is said to be general diSSat-
isfaction among the men, as they were
promised an increase some time ago. and
it failed to materialize. Especially is this
true on the Rock Island road, where it is
said the men are ready to walk out, but
are being held in check by the officers of
the organization until all the plans are
completed.
THE clerks have a number of griev-
ances which they want rectifed and be-
lieve that by working in conjunction with
/ the freight handlers they can get what
they desire. They say that a few years
ago they could get from $50 to $50 a month
by working nine ten hours a day. Now
! they say they are compelled to work
1 from ten to fourteen hours every day and
less than half their number receive as
high as $50 a month.
While the clerks are demanding 20 per
cent increase, it is said they will compro-
mise on half the amount if the railroads
show a willingness to meet with commit
tees and recognize the union.
/ "On the Chicago & Alton road the
clerks. as well some of the other en-
ployes, have 10 per cent. As in the case
of the engineers, firemen and trainmen,
the clerks are not satisfied with this
amount, and say the demands for 20 per
cent advance will be presented to all the
railroad companies

HOW TO DRINK MILK.
Why it Disagrees With Some People.

@~@@r~@
When one needs revivinE stimulant
after exhaustion nothing can rival the
effects of hot milk slipped slowly.
Some people say they cannot digest
milk and these are the people who
drink it down quickly so that the diges-
tive acids, in playing around ii, form
large curds which give trouble before
they can be absorbed
The right way is to sip the milk in
small amounts. SO that each mouthful,
as it descends into the stomach. is sur
rounded by the gastric fluid, and when
the whole glassful is down the effect is
that of spongy mass of curds, in and
out of which the keen gastric juices
course, speedily doing their work of
turning the curd into peptones that the
tissues can take up.
To make sure of complete digestion
take one or two of Stuart'S Dyspepsia
Tablets afterwards. as the pepsin and
diastase they contain increase the guam
tity and efficiency of the gastric juices
and supply the natural digestive ferm-
ents which all weak stomach lack.
Miss Anna Folger. a professional
nurse, speaking of the value of Stuart's
Tablets in convalescence says: In adult
patients recovering from severe illness
and especially in children where milk
diSa grees, one or two tablets eEercoma
any difficulty and seem to strengthen
the stomach in remarkably short time.
1 myself have used them daily for years.
when my own digestion has suffered
from the irregularities and loss of sleep
consequent upon my occupation
Not only children and invaIds hvt
professional people and others WHOSE
meals are necessarily hurried or irregu-
lar will find Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
of the greatest value in keeping up the
tone and digestive vigor of the stenl-
ach."
They contain the active digestive fer
ments the lack of which is really the
only cause of INDIGESTION and stomach
troubles and the regular daily use of
them after meals will probably cure any
case of stomach trouble except such as
arises from cancer or liberation.
Many druggists have said that they
sell more Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
than all other stomach remedies COM
bined.

TO FIREcRAcKER LAND.
Americans Building Railroad to the
Heart of China

New York. Dec. 29.-P. H. Ashmead,
the principal assistant engineer, and al
so locating engineer for the Canton
Hankow railroad in Lu Han. China.
which is being constructed by the
American-China Development company,
has come to this country for the pur-
pose of reporting to William Barclay
Parsons, who is president and chief en-
gineer of the new road
Speaking of the new railroad in China
Mr.. Ashmead is quoted as saying: 1.-The
Canton-Hankow line will traverse the
great province of Honan. which is one
of the richest coal districts in the world.
1t is said to contain more anthra cite
than the Pennsylvania region, as well Al
immense quantities of bituminous and
camel coal. The Chinese do not write
about their immense industrial and COM
mercial resources, and few FOREIGNERS
ever obtain an insight into them. In
the interior provinces there is enough
trade to keep the world busy if it is
only handled right, and it is the Amer
leans who can do this. The Chinese
seem to understand that the Americans
acted right in the indemnity settlement
and boxer questions. and in spite of our
exclusion act Americans are well liked
and have great influence in the south
ern part of the country. Since the pub
LEGATION of the imperial edict in July we
have built ten miles of the 22-mile dou-
BILE track branch road, an electric road
that runs through a district of fire
crackers, silk and pottery manufactor-
les and passes near 20 small towns of
from 500 to 10000 population This in
sures the roads paying well, for the
passenger traffic is the main thing in
China"
This American enterprise will estab-
fish a railroad system of nearly 1000
miles right in the heart of China. More
than 700 miles viii be main line and
the remainder branch lines The road
will connect with the Acknowledging
| line at Yangtse river
