President D. II. Nichols Now in
Charge of Southwestern.

The Arkansas City Traveller says:
Cd H Nichols, the new president OF
the Kansas Southwestern railway, is
now in charge of the road, with head
quarters in this city. Mr. Nichols was
seen by a Traveller reporter this after
noon and asked concerning the road
''At present he has nothing to give
out as the definite arrangements have
not yet been made. The road is owned
by the Frisco and Santa Fe roads, each
company having three directors, and
Mr. Nichols being the seventh. He
stated that at this time he has abso-
lutely no information as to what the
policy of the road will be in the future
or of any changes to be made.
Mr.. Nichols is a successful railroad
man, and his position now is the result
of years of labor and experience To
meet him is a pleasure and he certainly
is a pleasant acquaintance.
He was born in northwestern Ohio
in 1850, and is now 81 years of age
When 16 years old he began his rail-
reading as brakeman on the st Louis
& San Francisco road. He advanced
steadily until he was at last made gem
eral superintendent.
He left the Frisco in 1890 to become
general manager of the New York C
New England railroad, which position
he held until 1894. Resigning then he
went to the Pecos Valley Railway Con-
eral manager of the company's inter-
ests. including the Pecos Valley rail-
road He held this position until he re-
signed to accept the presidency of the
Kansas Southwestern.
He stated that he will keep any OF
the present force who desire to remain
with the road. When asked if this force
would be increased, he simply said that
the business would be taken care o.,
and as economically as possible"

SANTA FE BORING WELLS.
Trying Hard to Get Reliable Water
Supply at Wellington.

Wellington, Kan, jan At. ].
Whisenand, superintendent of the Pan
handle division, has announced that the
Santa Fe had had two wells bored near
the bridge east of the passenger depot.
They are each down q feet and have
% feet of water. The road will test
the wells but not until they are bored
deeper. The water is in sand and
gravel, which is encouraging. Should
nothing be developed in the further
boring, the road will put in a % foot
we'll and will pump it's own water. This
will mean a loss of 81, 500 year to the
city enough to operate the city'S water
works plant.
The Santa Fe wells are 80 feet apart
and were bored under the direction of
William Archer, the roads water ex-
pert.
Should the wells in the east bottoms
not prove satisfactory in the test, the
road will put down more wells on the
town site. The failure of any one well
will not deter the Santa F'e from pur-
suing its prospecting for water. 1t
N cans to get water here in sufficient
quantity for its own use.

and with outstretched arms. Quick as
a flash the engine was reversed, the
sand turned on the track and the train
stopped just in the nick of time to save
the child'S life. Another revolution of
the driving wheels would have crushed
and mangled the little one. AS it was

stated by those aboard the train that a

not depend entirely on his air brakes,
but applied every other means at his
command to stop the train.
