AS rule the boys were peaceable
all. day, and no serious trouble arose
through the warlike tendency of the
jewellers They were having too much
fact, they were in paradise. To be able
to sack carload Of melons, jump every
train that passed. play base ball and
swim without being arrested was all
they could possibly ask They grew
quite familiar with the policeman,
arrest, and he could do no more than
administer corporal punishment. When
1t came time to bunch the boys fer the
return trip an attempt was made to
keep them in the ears. When the doors
were guarded they climbed hastily out
restraint until the train had started. On
the return trip they yelled gleefully at
every station, as they had done in the
morning. When they reached Topeka
about O'Clock they began to break
through the guard line and escape from
the train In the yards, but no one was
injured. They all had a good time, ex-
cept the few who got drunk, and will re-
member the day for quite a while.
The boys could have been taken to no
estimation, but it would add to the
peace Of mind of Mr.. Nissley If
he would escort them next year to a
specially prepared detention camp, with
a high board fence, heavily guarded by
a regiment of infantry, where there is
moving trains. But after all, Mr.. Mss
ley finds pleasure in the enjoyment of
others. A man who will stand the ex-
penSe and worry, of such a picnic is
both a martyr and saint. "Show me
this Mr.: Nissley," said a Rock Island
before the train started, Il want to
see good man."

After that a strict watch was kept over
the car until it was taken away by
afternoon train. During the afternoon
the White Stockings played a game WITH
a local team composed of railroad and
cattlemen and farmers, and beat the
home talent by a score of % to q in
IL innings. The umpire was a local
celebrity, and the visitors accuse him
of partiality. A Dutch joint got in its
work during the afternoon, and three
or four of the young toughs who ac-
CON panied the party, although it is
doubtful il they ever sold papers or
did any other honest work, were drunk
enough to become thoroughly disgust
ing before starting time. AL put one
of them were able to jump off the car
and escape after reaching the Topeka
yards. The properly paralyzed one was
still in a dream when the train pulled
in and was taken to the police station.
The boys who were drunk were all
white Not a colored boy, and they were
in a large majority, showed any symp-
toms of drunkenness. 1t is a great
wonder that some of the boys were not
killed or crippled while jumping the
moving trains. They would climb over
each other to board freight train, and
the crews seemed powerless to keep
them off.

Growth of the Santa Fe.

Interest in the Santa Fe has been
revived by the late reports coupling that
road with Rock Island and Pennsylva-
MIA plans. The rise of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn since the receiver was discharged
six years ago has been phenomenal. In
1884 its earning capacity was in round
numbers $33. 900, 600 This year the earn
tngs may touch $50, O0c, 900. They were
$54,000.000 last year. The company OPP
crates 1886 miles of main line and
controls 8,179.75. The stock issue of the
company is s102, 100000 common and
Sal, 199, $50 preferred. The company has
a funded debt of $21S, 1000, 900. Two years
ago the common stock was selling be-
low So Yesterday 1t sold as high as 92N

BOUGHT BY UNION PACIFIC.
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Road
Now in Harriman's Control.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 263The Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul railroad, 1t is
positively stated. has been purchased
by the Union Pacific, or rather by the
men who own the Union Pacific. Chica-
go financiers of prominence interested
deeply in both properties were advised
of the contamination of the deal short
ly after noon today: 1t may mean a
new Northern Securities deal.
The men who will come into control
of the road are E. H. Hartman, Will
lam Rockefeller, John D. Rockefeller, II.
H. Rogers, George ]. Gould and James
Stillman. Some of them are already
large stockholders and one or two are
directors of the st. Paul road. Among
the interests in ST. Paul which are to
give way to the new ownership, accord
ing to the statement today, are those
of the Armours of Chicago. Roswell
Miller, present chairman of the ST. Paul
board, proba bly, will be succeeded by E.
H. Hartman or some of the Union Pa
cific syndicate.
The National City k-Rockefeller-
Standard Oil interests, with a number
of associated capitalists, are the people
behind the deal. 1t has been reflected
somewhat by the activity and gradual
increase in the price of St. Paul stock in
the past week or ten days.
The details of the purchase are as yet
secret. Public announcement of the deal
may be delayed several days. Whether
it is to be another Northern Securities
combination, merger of the Union Pa
cifiic and the st. Paul; whether the two
lines will be put into one system or OPP
Grated separately as they are now but
with a community of interest arrange
ment, are things the Chicago men in
terested have not been advised of as
yet The only thing they knew this at
ternoon was that the deal had been
closed in New York, and confirmation
of this came from the highest sources
in New York over long distance tele-
phone to Chicagoans interested in the
negotiations.

by Mr.. Nissley, the newsboys' patron
saint, who takes this method of expos

missionary work without seeking the
jungles of Africa. Mr. Nissley, assisted
by Mrs. Nissley, his sister, Miss Title
Nissley, Mr.. E. w. Hughes and Mrs.
L. E. Thorpe, piloted this motley as
sortment Of news vendors to McFar-
land, junction on the Rock Island rail-
road. The boys were loaded in two
coaches secured by Mr.. Niss1ey for the
purpose. at $50 in the morning. The
newsbOys were accompanied by the
Cumberland juvenile band, composed of
small cOlOred boys under the instruction
of q. A. Bigbee, which furnished very
good music. Officer Lindsay of the day
force went along to see if brass but
tons had any tendency to keep order
outside the city limits, and photogra-
pher and State Journal reporter went
along because it was their business to
do So When the train started the boys
they all expressed desire to ride on
where they could view the scenery. 1t
took the combined efforts of the nom
combatantS to keep them Gagged until
they reached their destination. A news

cracker-jack and sailed peanuts and
sold his entire stock in the two cars
before half the distance had been COW

troll the Rock Island want an independ-
ent line to the Pacific. They are de-
pendent for California traffic upon the
Southern Pacific and the Atchison lines.
Wall street rumor has lately credited
the Moore Bros. with heavy buying of
Atchison stock, and today some of the
Atchison stockholders were in doubt as
to whether the control was not likely to
pass to the Rock Island. A merger or
cOmbina ton between AtchisOn and Rock
Island would render unnecessary the
proposed Rock Island extensions to the
Pacific coast and also to Galveston.
Representatives of the Rock Island

folded in the meeting of directors next
week does not concern the AtchisOn.

Here they were practically turned out
to pasture, breaking all restraint and
taking to the woods or any other place
they desired to visit. The White Stock
ings, the newsboys baseball nine and a
Lincoln school nine at once repaired to
the bali grounds and started hot game
which lasted until lunch time. The
White Sox won by a score of 10 to 6.
It was during the game that a large
gang of boys were seen fleeing from the
vicinity of some side-tracked cars,
heavily laden with the fruit that made
Clyde and Rocky Ford famous. Officer
Lindsay moved down on the works and
discovered that the boys had broken
into car of watermelons and stolen
large number. The tracks around the
car were strewn with exploded melons
which had been robbed of the heart
only, the boys going on the theory that
there were too many melons handy to
take the trouble to eat any but the best.
The thieving ones were chased into the
weeds and the local agent replaced the
seals which had been broken on the car
doors. The sight of the boys clipping
with the popular fruit was almost
enough to bring the game to a close
and a few Of the players did stampede.

CANDIDATES In RAGE
COME NEAR FIGHTING
Arkansas Governor RuSheS
Toward Opponent.

SLOAN SPRINGS. Ark, July IA
personal collision between rival candi-
dates for governor Of Arkansas was
averted tonight only by the interference
Of City Marshal Hill, though he did not
succeed in preventing fist fights among
friends Of the candidates.
Governor Davis in his speech defended
his record and denounced as false the
afidayits held By H. H. Myers, the Re
publican nominee. These afidavits
charged Governor Davis with having
been drunk on a passenger train and
with having given whisky to negroes.
The candidates then engaged in heated
personalities. and each denounced the
other as d coward.
Governor Davis rushed toward Myers,
who net his advance half way and Mar
shall Hill jumped between the angry
men over q hundred men rushed onto
the speakers stand.
Il looked as If bloedshed would result.
but finally the disturbance vas aqueIled
and the speakers concluded their re
marks, each being more temperate in
his use Of words
