Resolutions of Respect.

Lula Maud Polk, born Septem- Der 2s, 1892, died August II, 1902. The death angel came and took from our midst one of our Sunday school scholars. We do not under stand why these things are so, but the Lord loves a shining mark and often takes the purest and best to draw others nearer to Him and Heaven. Be it, therefore,
 Resolved, That we think of Maud as one who sleepeth, and when the great day of reckoning shall come and she is brought be- fore the judgment bar of Him who judgeth both the quick and the dead, may she be placed among the angels, there to dwell forever.
 Resolved, That we, as teachers and pupils of the Sunday school, work more earnestly and zealously for Him who hath said, Il am the light and the way
 Resolved, That our hearts unite in singing:
 Blest be the tie that binds
 Our hearts in Christian love,
 The fellowship of kindred minds
 Is like unto that above.
 Resolved, That we send copy of these resolutions to the bereav- ed family, also copy to each The Newark Journal and Batesville Guard for publication.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe to Consolidate With
the Santa Fe Pacific.
Proposed Bill Gets a Favorable
Report i'm Congress.
A. A. HURD EXPLAINS 1T
Says 1t Is a Move in the Inter-
ests of Economy.
A. A. HURD EXPLAINS 1T
Saves Keeping Up Two Inde-
pendent Organizations.

A bill is soon to be passed by con-
gress authorizing the Santa F'e Pacific
railroad to sell or lease it's railway pro-
perty and franchises to the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa. Fe company.
This bill was introduced into the
house on January % by Congressman
Charles Curtis. and just one month later
was reported back to the house favor
ably by the committee on Pacific rail-
roads. 1t will be passed by both houses
without opposition.
AS soon as the bill is passed, the d.
rectors OF the Santa Fe Pacific will
authorize the sale of the road to the
Santa Fe proper.
To all appearances this seemingly i'm
portant transaction will have no bear
ing on the relations which now exist
between the Santa Fe and the Santa Fe
Pacific. The directors of the Santa F'e
road are now the directors of the Santa
Fee Pacific, and the people who own he
stock of the Santa Fe are also the own
ers of the stock of the Santa Fe Pacific.
The only difference will be that instead
of having two sets of officials, two
boards of directors and two independent
sets of books. all these will be CONSOLE
dated.
The Santa Fe Pacific Railway COM
pany was organized in June, 1897. and
came into possession of the western di-
vision of the Atlantic & Pacific railway
under a forced sale. The western Iii
vision of the Atlantic & Pacific road
comprised that portion of the line now
known as the Santa Fe Pacific, S1S miles
in length
Speaking of the proposed change. Gen
eral Attorney A. A. Hurd of the Santa
Ee said yesterday:
This bill. if it passes. will not alter
the relations which now exist between
the Santa Fe and Santa Fe Pacific. 1t
is a change which is desirable simn!y
in the interests of economy of admins
tration. Under the existing conditions,
it is necessary to keep two sets of books
for the two roads, and keep the affairs
of the roads separate. The Santa F'e is
unable to purchase the Santa Fe Pacific
without an act of congress, because the
Santa Fe Pacific was built under the
assistance of a government subsidy in
the shape of public lands. I do not an
ticipate that there Will be any opposi-
ton to the bill. I do not see why there
should be. The consolidation will not
cause any change in existing officers or
official positions
The Santa Fe has recently changed
the official designation of its lines west
of Albuquerque to the Santa Fe coast
lines, and this name will no doubt be
applied to the western end of the Santa
Fe after the consolidation of the Santa
Fe and Santa Fe Pacific is effected.

DUE TO ROCK ISLAND.
Decentralization of Rate Pool Attribu-
ted to Moore Bros. Influence.

1t is c. lined by the Chicago Tribune
that the main cause responsible for the
collapse Of the western freight aSSocia-
lions and district bureaus, or rather,
pools, appears to be the fear among
leading railroad managers that the
Moore brothers mean to use the Rock
Island more for stock specializing pur-
poses than for legitimate railroad bust
ness.
1t transpires that the withdrawal of
the Northwestern from these organiZa-
lions was more due to a large reduc-
ton made in provision rates from the
Missouri river by the Rock Island rail-
way than to a fear that the interstate
commerce commission would institute
proceedings against the roads for main
tanning pools or other illegal combina-
lions.
Since the railroads gave their sensa-
tonal testimony before the interstate
commerce commission short time ago,
telling of how they made secret con-
tracts with packers to pay rebates, the
feeling has been gaining ground that
proceedings would be commenced. AS
soon as the commission was through
with its hearings conference between
the railroads and the packers was held
here, and the latter We're told that the
railroads would not carry out any of
the contracts for cut rates then in eX-
istence, but that they would reduce the
tariff on provisions, which was then 531s
cents hundred pounds from Missouri
River points to New York. to 4S15 cents.
The executive officers then pledged
themselves to adhere to that rate.
Two weeks ago it tranSpired that the
Rock Island had filed with the inter
state commerce commission a new tariff
on provisions, making the rate 1915 cents
hundred pounds, without having con-
suited any of the other roads. The Rock
Island explained that it made that rate
in self-defense. because it found that
other roads were getting the business
through concessions to certain packers.
The Rock Islands allegation was denied
and after a stormy session it was
agreed that the reduced tariffs should
be withdrawn on March 1.
Last Thursday word came that an
other tariff had been filed by the Rock
Island, extending the 421s per cent rate
until March IA. Then came the explos-
ion. The Northwestern took advantage
of the opportunity to get out of the
freight associations, with the manage
ment of which it has long been dissatis-
fed.

THIS IN NEW JERSEY.
An Effort Being Made to Annul
Northern Securities Charter

Trenton, Nj, March 6.-Senator Geb-
hart, Democrat, of Hunterdon. intro
duced a bill in the senate today to re-
peal and dissolve the charter and cor
porate existence of the Northern SecuT-
tiles company. The bill has a long pre-
amble, in which it is stated. among
other things, that the company was or
ganized to enable the Northern Pacific
Railroad company and the Great North
ern Railroad company to violate the
laws of several states and also to de-
stroy competition in passenger ard
freight rates that existed between these
railroads. The preamble goes on to say
that the organization has aroused great
public interest and that the governor
of Minnesota has already instituted suit
to prevent the contamination of the IL
legal and injurious purpose sought TO
be accomplished by the form alton of
the securities company.
The bill was referred to the commit
tee on corporations.

@DoN'T BE AFRAID OF THEM"
Advice of E. E. Mcleod Concerning
High Railway Officials.

Don't be afraid of the big officers of
railroads. They are all men Just like
yourself and you have nothing to fear
from them so long as you perform your
duties well,'' said Eben E. Mcleod,
chairman of the Western Passenger as
Sociation, in addressing the members of
the Chicago Rate Mems club at their
monthly dinner and meeting in the Pull
man restaurant last night.
Mr.. Mcleod said that the rate clerks
of the country represented the backbone
of the transportation business in many
ways. He said if general passenger
agents were required to sit down and
figure out their own tariffs there would
be fewer rate wars. Mr. Mcleod said
that the demand for good rate men
was stronger than ever.

SUFFERING FROM
THE EARTHQUAKE

st. Petersburg, Dec 26.-While full
details of the recent earthquake dis
aster at Andijan, Russian Central
Asia. are not obtainable owing to lack
of communication, the brief dispatches
received here describe the situation as
horrible. The temperature has fallen
to the freezing point and thousands of
persons are homeless.
One section of the city has been
completely destroyed. Only one cottor
gin and one church are standing. The
first shock drove the inhabitants gen
orally out doors, otherwise the loss of
life would have been much greater.
Notwithstanding the offers of free
transportation, they are remaining in
the vicinity of the city. which will be
rebuilt. A substantial start has been
made in the collection of a relief fund.
Andijan is cotton center and ex-
ports 100000 900 pounds of cotton an
nually. The population. numbering
$4,000 souls. was growing rapidly. The
people, who are mainly Sarts. were en-
gagged in cotton raising and ginning.
Of twenty gins, nineteen have been de-
stroyed. The Sarts are not like Rus
SLAMS. They are private owners of
land, but live in cities and towns
The houses in Andijan were principally
one-story high and built of unburned
brick The war department announces
that everything possible is being done
to relieve the suffering. Barracks in
which the population will be housed
are being built.
A letter giving details is expected
here within week. The mail from
Andijan ordinarily takes ten days to
reach st. Petersburg.
