account of his alleged marriage to a

Arthur Van Cleave, formerly head
trucker in the freight house here and a
son of B. M. Van Cleave of the Topeka
store house. is now holding a position as
canvasser in Colorado Springs. He has
experienced two attacks of typhoid fe-
yer within a year, and from that has
arisen such complications of health as
rendered a change of climate necessary.
He is unable to take up any heavy work
with the company yet, but expects to
be able to do so later.
Clarence Tenyck, formerly night
yardmaster at Emporia and since with
the company at La Junta and Albu-
querque, has been appointed superin-
tendent of the Pecos Valley lines with
headquarters at Amarillo, Tex. 1t is
only comparatively recently that the
Santa Fe acquired control of this road
built and operated for a time by the
Hagerman brothers, wealthy ranchmen
of the southwest. Even yet, it is said
that the road is not bringing in to it's
owners any great net profit, but it ap-
pears to give promise of much after the
country traversed by it reaches little
farther development.
George w. Miller, who next week as
sumes the foremanship of the Santa Fe
machine shop here, has arrived and is
ready to take charge. Mr. Miller is a
native of Ohio, having been born in the
town of Kent, a division on the Erie
road where fourteen years ago he en-
tered the shops as a machinist appren-
tice Completing the four years ap
premiership, he went to the American
Steel Wire company at Pittsburg, Pa,
remaining until 1895 when he engaged
his services with the Pennsylvania rail-
road at Altoona. After working two
years as a machinist he left to take the
place of foreman of the machine shop
of the Robinson Machine company at
Monongahela City under A. r. Davis,
then master mechanic, and now pro-
NOTED to the position of general shop
foreman at Topeka. AT the end of
little more than two years he secured
a better position with the Mcintosh &
Hempfel company, proprietors of gen
eral machine shop in Pittsburg. He
came from there directly to Topeka.
His experience as craftsman has
taught him what man can do, and he
has the manner of one who as a fore
man would be easily approached by
those working under him. His express
sions are indicative of a strong dislike
for any tactics aiming to get results
from the shop by intimidating the en-
plOyeS.

Wilkesbarre, Oct. 25.-A number of
additional collieries in the anthracite
coal region started up today. The
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
company expects to close the day with
$4,000 tons of coal on cars. AS fast as
cars are loaded at the breakers they
are made up into trains and started on
their journey. The Lehigh Valley COM
pany report progress today but their
big collieries will not be in operation
until Monday. The Delaware & Hud-
son company is a close second to the
Lackawanna company in production.
Its collieries are now nearly all in
operation. Increased production from
the Philadelphia & Reading mines in
operation is also reported.
At President Mitchell's headquarters
but few complaints are made outside
the Lehigh region, where individual
operators and their old employees have
had trouble ever since the men report
ed for work on Thursday. Early set
tlement of the difficulty is looked for.

Several of the spacious rooms in the
ancient edifice were fitted up as retir-
ing rooms for the King and queen and
their respective suites. The municipal
dinner was carried out in full accord
ance with the plans which were orig
inally carried to forward stage when
the coronation festivities were post
poned. Their majesues and the other
members of the royal family occupied
seats at table on a dais at the north
ern end of the great banqueting hall.
The company present numbered be-
tween 700 and 800 and included be-
sides the officials of the city of Lon
don, the heads of the various London
guilds, members of parliament and
other persons of distinction.
At the conclusion of the function,
which lasted from / o'clock until a
quarter past 2, the royal procession
was reformed and the start back to
Buckingham Palace was begun. The
scenes attending the progress on the
return journey were characterized by
the same enthusiastic demonstrations
witnessed in the forenoon. Especially
elaborate were the decorations in the
Southwark section, where arches had
been erected and the facades of busi-
ness houses and dwellings pursuant to
the original coronation plans. Near
the end of the route, when the royal
carriage turned into Whitehall street,
/ 100 or more members of the Stock
Exchange, who occupied a special
stand, sang "Rule Britannia" with tell
ing effect.
Late in the afternoon an official bull
letin was issued stating that their ma
jesties had stood the fatigues of the
day unusually well and that the entire
royal family would attend the corona
ton thanksgiving service in ST. Paul's
tomorrow.

VALIDITY OF THE PANAMA CANAL
Dynamite Explosion In New York City
Injuries People.
NO SOUTHERN PACIFIC STRIKE.

Washington, Oct. 25.-The Texas
Louisiana oil field is discussed ex-
haustively in a report of the United
States geological survey. The exist
ence of petroleum in the gulf coastal
plain, extending inland for 100 miles,
has been known as far back as 1860.
The report says the extreme porosity
of the Spindle Top oil rock favors the
storage of large volume of oil and
very rapid yield when the reservoir is
tapped. But it also favors the early ex-
haustion of the oil in the pool and its
rapid replacement by underlying salt
water.
The conclusion reached with regard
to the Spindle Top field, is that Spindle
Top rock contains about one-fourth its
volume in oil. Even If the estimate is
one barrel obtained for every twenty.
six cubic feet for Spindle Top and a
little less for other fields, there should
be a yield equal to the Babu fields In
Russia and much greater output than
that of other American fields.

Princeton, n. j., Oct. 25.-In Alexan-
der hall this morning. with simple cer-
emony. but before a great and enthu-
siastic company. Dr. Woodrow Wilson
was formally installed as president of
Princeton university. The event was
chiefly notable for the general feeling
of satisfaction with the man who is to
guide the destinies of the great insti-
tuition of learning. The hall was filled
sors, alumni and distinguished visit
ors, all attired in academic garb. The
principal addresses were those of the
new president, the former president OF
the university, DIR. Patton, and Grover

States. Following the installation
brief congratulatory addresses were
made by representatives of Yale, Har-
yard, Pennsylvania, the University of

SUDDEN DEATH.
The Old coIored Soldier, Isaac Jack.
son, Is Dead.

Isaac Jackson, a respectable and
well known old colored resident of Al
buquerque, died suddenly last night
While on his way TO his home on
North Third street he complained of
feeling sick. He only proceeded a
short distance when he would have
fallen had not friends been close at
hand. He was carried TO a room near
by when death came before a doctor
could be called. His death is attrib-
uted to heart disease.
Mr.. Jackson has very interesting
war record, such as few soldiers pos

mis- first enlistment was in Kentucky
in company II. One Hundred and Ninth
regiment, United States Colored vol
unteer infantry, in which he served as

Sousa's Band Concert.

Two Englishmen engaged in a heat
ed argument at a Sousa concert in Lon
don in December, one contending that
there were strings in the Instruments
tion of the American band while the
other as positively declared that the
March Kings" organization was a
wind orchestra" pure and simple.
The argument led to a considerable
wager, and at the conclusion of the
concert Mr.. Sousa was asked to allow
the question to be definitely decided,
to which he readily assented. The first
man made his way through the mu-
sicians who crowded the stage, and
picking up the snare drum, he turned
IL over and showed the several strings
that span the under head of the instru-
ment. The argument was over. With
a laugh the wind" champion agreed
that he had lost Sousa, by the way,

gle concert ON October 80, at Colombo

DISADVANTAGES OF OIL.
1t Burns Out Fire Boxes and Closes
Flues with Deposits.

Oakland, Cal, Oct. 25-The publish
ed statements that the Southern Pa
cific intends working the Carbon Hill
mines in Washington on a very extern
siye scale, changing back to coal as
fuel, is entirely discredited by officials
at West Oakland yard. Reasons as
signed for the desire to change back
to coal is that the oil burns out fire
boxes and closes fiues with bituminous
deposits. The statement has some
truth in it, but does not justify the as
sertion that oil will be abandoned.

THE WATER WITCH"
Sent for by Ranch Owners in New
Mexico TO Find Wells.
HER DEWNINs ROD.

A woman who Carried gnarled and
twisted stick than HAS forked at one
end attracted attarion at the Union
station, says a Kansas City dispatch
of recent date.
1t was because 1t was such an ordin-
airy looking stick that it attracted at
tention, and some one finally asked the
learned that the stick was a "divining
rod" and that its owner was Mrs. Will
liam Drinks. who is on her way from
her home near Mansfield, Ohio, to New
Mexico.
Mrs. Drinks is what is known as a
water WITCH" and has a reputation
near her home of being able to deter
mine where water may be found by
digging.
Mrs. Drinks reputation was carried
by a Mansfield man to New Mexico,
and what he told of her powers so i'm
pressed stockmen in that region that
they agreed TO pay Mrs. Drinks ex-
penses and. if she proved successful
in her undertaking, pay her well to To-
cate wells on their ranges.
Mrs. Drinks work is performed
through the medium Of the "divining
rod" This rod is carefully selected
by the witch" and her choice is gov
erned by requisites which she will not
reveal. Mrs. Drinks said that the Sec
ret of selecting a "divining rod" was
that few people possessed, and that it
was one that could not be bequeathed
to another. The only characteristic of
"divining rod" that is generally
known is that it must be forked at one
end.
Mrs. Banks said that when she start
ed out to locate the spot where water
could be found by digging she would
take the "divining rod" and hold it in
her right hand by the end opposite the
fork and hold the rod before her with
the forked end an inch or more from
the ground. Thus equipped she walks
back and forth on the land where il is
desired to locate a well. When she
passes over water that can be reached
by digging, the rod, she says, turns
over in her hand and the forked end is
drawn to the earth as a piece of steel
is attracted by magnet.
Mrs. Drinks declared that the "di-
vining rod" never fails and that when
water is found the rod will turn over,
no matter what efforts are made to
prevent its doing so.
The water witch said that the
force that compelled the rod to turn
was so powerful that she had known
the bark TO be twisted from the rod
when the holder grasped it tightly
in an effort to Keep it from reversing
itself.
Il never fail TO locate wells IL there
is any water" said Mrs. Drinks, "and
am confident Of success in my pres
ent undertaking
Mrs. Drinks. who appeared to be in
telligent and whose language indicat-
ed that she was a woman Of some edu-
cation. appeared TO have implicit faith
in her powers. She left last night on
train for the southwest"

Difficulty with Southern Pacific EN-
ployes Will Be Settled.

Oakland, Cal, Oct. 25.-The prevail
ing sentiment among railroad en-
ployes of the Southern Pacific com
pany is there will be no strike but an
amicable settlement of all demands
which have been made by the various
unions will be arrived at. The willing
ness of the company to confer with the
men and listen to grievances is a point
in the company's favor and will have
the effect of moderating whatever ac-
tion may be taken. There has been
little or no effort on the part of the
company to kill union spirit and in
some matters the company lent dis
tinct encouragement to the men.

who purchased a small quantity OF
gunpowder insufficient to do real dam
age. He will probably be placed in an

were badly injured and great many
others narrowly escaped by an explo-

avenue and Forty-First street, where
work is in progress in connection with
a station of the Rapid Transit subway.
A large number of persons were stand

the men work, when suddenly loud
explosion was heard and tons of rock
of all sizes was projected into the air.
The most serious accidents in connec-
