Twentieth Century Limited.

Keeling of 4S1 miles in 460 min utes, the Twentieth Century Linn ited" on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern road on last Saturday smashed records for fast running on that system, and verified assertions made by officials that sixteen-hour schedule could, If necessary, be main tained between Chicago and New York. The train, forty-five miles west of Buffalo; was two hours and twenty-eight mindtes behinds it's schedule, and then it was that the engineers were given a clear track and ordered to make their best time over the various divisions. The train covered the 134 miles between Brock ton and Cleveland in 131 minutes. From Cleveland to Toledo it pushed along over the 1l3 miles at some points at speed reaching 90 miles an houf, covering the distance in lO3 minutes. The run to Elkhart, Ind, 133 miles, was covered in 115 min utes. The run into Chicago from Elkhart was slower on account of the necessity of slowing down while passing through three towns where the speed Of trains is limited by or Ginance. Slow downs were also neces- sary for the fourteen grade crossings in Chicago. Despite these delays, the 10l miles was covered in III minutes, and the train, which was due in the city at 9:45 a. m., arrived at the grand central passenger sta tion only twenty-eight minutes late.

HE WORKED THE RAILROAD.
What Was Supposed to Have Been Fine Race Horse After Be- Ing Transported Across the
 Continent Proved to
 Be Plug.

At a recent meeting of railroad men at Kansas City w. J. Healy, claim agent of the Santa Fe com pany, regaled the group with the fol lowing story:
 "The incident in my experience which will live longer and stand out in bolder relief would be hard to select, but just now recall one which was sufficiently unusual and funny to remember. One tine we carried a car from some point in Iowa, receiving it at Kansas City, which was supposed to contain a very valuable race horse. There was a great race meet billed for Los An geles some two weeks after that, and though it is not on record that any agent or any other employe of the road asked any questions, it was a generally accepted fact that the ami maj in the car was race horse. He was blanketed and spIintered up with all the equipment which goes with first class stopper, and only his eyes, feet and ears were left ex- posed to view. He was carried in one of the best cars on the line made for that purpose and was accom- panied by keeper. This keeper, we discovered later, was at the bottom of the scheme which cost us the price of transportation and feed for the horse, and which netted the keeper d free ride from Kansas City to Los Angeles. All along the road the cal containing the animal was given the best of care, and the keeper was al lowed bunk privileges in all way cars. Oh, he travelled first-class, a: freight trains go, and the officiou, manner in which he gave orders tc the train crews was all the mor, proof, it was thought, that be Wal

Company B Breaks Camp.

Company B, N. G. A., which has been on a weeks vacation at Iron Springs, broke camp this morning. This is one of the best companies in the Territory of Arizona. Many of the Rough Riders who saw service in Cuba and the Philippines are mem- bers of Company B, of Phenix. This company is at the present time com posed largely of new members, a good class of young men of our sister city. The company decided to go in- to camp and they furnished their own commissary, had their own cook and footed their own bills. The ter ritory furnished them the rifles, tents ammunition and kahki suits. The shooting at target was excellent work with the Springfield rifles and sev- eral of the members earned medals, which will be presented to them al the next military drill at Phenix There are several members of the company who are good shots at pis- tol practice. The pistol used wa. the latest military smokeless, 3S calibre. The officers of Company B First infantry, N. G. A.. of Arizona are: Captain, E. NJ. Lamson; lieu tenants, c. $. Jones and Geo.

transporting a valuable horse. When finally the car was landed at Los An geles and the bill had been getting big ger and bigger. The owner of the animal ordered the car set alongside of little stock pen and the horse was marched down a gang plank. Then the man turned to the agent and asked to be directed to a certain bank, saying that he would cash a draft and pay the freight. He even took the blanket of the horse when the agent was not looking, and al- lowed the horse to stroll about in the pen for exercise. That was the last our agent saw or heard of the man. He disappeared with the blanket, bridle and other things of more or less value, and the company had a stack of bones on its hands which would not have brought S2 at auction. After feeding the animal twenty-one days it was sold to a farmer for s.

SENATE GOLD
 COMPANY.
A Mining Company Operating at Congress Which Bids Fair to Rival the Famous
 Congress Mine.
Good Progress Being Made, and an Excellent Showing of Ore En- countered for Distance of Three Hundred
 Feet
Feet:

Charles H. Akers, who is connected
 with the Senate Gold company, was asked today for some information in regard to the operations of that com pany, which is working property at
 Congress, and from which nothing
 but good reports have been heard. He says that work was commenced developing the mines on March 12, and since that time excellent pro- gress has been made and excellent results obtained in the way of open ing up fine bodies of ore. A shaft has been sunk 300 feet, and drifts have been run for 120 feet each way at the 40 foot level and 100 feet each way at the 220 foot level.
 Three shifts a day are still work ing in the drifts and in sinking. The ledge is from six to eight feet wide in all the levels and in the shaft from 100 feet below the surface to the deepest working. The ore has been sampled at various places in the ledge as work has progressed, and the values obtained assayed from Sl0 to SIS per ton. These samples were not of picked ore, but selected with great care to obtain average samples of the ore as far as development work has progressed.
 When the 320 foot level was reached drifts will be run on the vein in each direction as on the upper levels and two crosscuts will also be run at this point for the purpose of cutting parallel lodges which lie on each side of the one on which this work is being done and about 150 feet distant from it. The surface in- dications of these parallel lodges are very promising and it is believed that at this depth they will furnish good body of rich ore.
 It is the intention of the company to commence the erection of a mill about January if development work up to that time continues to show up ore in as large quantity and as good values as it has up to the present stage of the work.
 The claims are located right in the center of the Congress district being partially surrounded by the property of the Congress Gold company, and the shaft being sunk being a few hundred feet from one of the main shafts of that company.
 It resembles the Congress property also in having parallel veins on the same claim, the Senate, having three parallel veins on its claim and the Congress two.

A PRoSPEcIoR'S THEORY.

Though I'm only an old prospsctor, I'm not quite so green as looks, My knowledge is got from nature
 direct,
 An not from y musty old books; So when experts samples rock,
 An pretends to see what's behind it, I laugh, for learnt long ago,
 Tn stuff's just about where y find When nature filled rp the cracks
 In tn rocks, she didn't much care If them experts liked it or not,
 For she dumped it most anywhere. So git out y pick and y drill,
 An put lots of muscle behind 'em; I reckon you'll find them rich ores Exactly about where v find 'em!

How many people realize the mag nitude of our manufacturing indus tries? Mahin's Magazine states the following: Consider what it means that the factories of the nation are distributing two and third billions of dollars a year in wages. This enormous wealth goes to three mil lion families, and furnishes the di- rect support of fifteen million people "a fifth of all the people in the United States. Fifteen million mouths to feed, bodies to clothe, heads to cover! Fifteen million pairs of feet to be shod!"

Su Wah, the leper, is still in his car and is in much better condition than when he first arrived here. His regular meals and medical care have shown their result and he is much improved. Yesterday afternoon a number of United States officers went down and talked with him. He is rather well satisfied with his lot here and is not uncomfortable. He was asked if he wanted to remain here, or go back to China or to Mexico. His eyes filled with tears, and he said instantly that he wanted to go to China. Not a word has been re- ceived from Washington.-Albuque que Citizen.

Everybody who visits Phenix knows Coffee Al who caters to the inner man of the citizens of the capitol city, as we'll as to the stran- gers within her gates. His name is A. B. Williams, but very few know him by any name except Coffee Al. He has been rusticating for two or three months in Los Angeles and the Republican says that word has reached Phenix that he is engaged to be married there. The lady is an English heiress of great wealth and allied to an old family which resides in the same part of the country in which Mir. Williams was born. He did not know her in the old country though. That would be a nice incl dent in this romance but tor one thing and that is that it Is so many years since MT. Williams left Eng land that the lady would now be of uncertain and uncomfortable age.
 She is on the contrary young and beautiful. So Mir. Williams could not have known her in the old coun- try if he had desired to do so. There is nothing herein intended to be re- f1ection upon the age of Mir. Williams. He is just as old as he is and he can not help it and would not if he could.

A CALL FOR AID.
Soldiers Ask for Money to Erect !,
Monument to the Memory of
Col. w. H. INinsman
Especial Correspondence


Soldiers at Council Bluffs have writ
ten to the soldiers throughout the
state asking for their immediate as
sistance in the matter of raising
money with which to erect a monu-
ment to Col William H. Kinsman at
Council Bluffs, and which it is pro-
posed to dedicate on May 80, the ami
versary of the battle of Big Black
River Bridge, at which Col Kinsman
fell, 36years ago. His body was buried
where he fell, and score of searching
parties from Iowa sought to find his
bones in vain until last fall, when two
of his comrades in the Fourth and
Twenty-third Iowa discovered his
bones and brought them to Iowa. They
had been inferred at Council Bluffs.
and it is proposed to erect monument
and dedicate it on the date mentioned
More than $1,000 remains to be raised
and the soldiers at Council Bluffs fear
that they will be unable to succeed in
the enterprise unless they receive as
sistance from other soldiers in the
state.

CoLoRED oLEoMARGAR1NE.
the Product Will BE beneficial
to Iowa Butter Workers.
Especial Correspondence

State Dairy Commissioner H. r..
Wright is very much pleased by the
passage by congress of the bill in pro-
hibition of the sale of colored leo
margarine by the taxation of the prod
uct when colored. While very little
oleomargarine has been sold in this
state at any time, yet, as Commission
er Wright says, its sale in any of the
markets of the world is competition
by that much with the butter product
of this state. The idea is that with
white oleomargarine competing with
the natural butter, the demand for the
natural product will be very much en-
HANGED, and as a result the demand
for the sale of Iowa butter will be
better in the future than it has been
in the past.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
ters Cannot Vote They Can
Talk Against Their Foes.
Especial Correspondence.D


Miss Daisy S. leighton, of Shenan-
doah, who had charge of the woman
suffrage campaign before the legisla-
ture, the past winter, has prepared a
report of her work. She refers to the
fact that the woman suffrage resolu-
ton passed the senate by vote of 20
to Is, and says that when it went be-
fore the committee of the house to
which it was referred it was not given
the consideration that she expected.
She says:
There were IA members on the COM
mittee, eight of whom l had pledged to
support the bill, but only three voted for
1t; mans promise does not always hold
good. So the vote of the committee stood
eight against, three for and three abb
sent. The report of the committee was
Tor indefinite postponement. and when
the question was taken up in the house
the report was accepted by vote of Sc
to &c.
The suffrage amendment has, with
some variations, played it's usual part in
the Twenty ninth general assembly, and
has been reported indefinitely postponed
by the house committee.
We have been defeated, and what is
more, we viii! be defeated year after year
uileSS we look the SITUATION Squarely IN
the face and realize that the only way
to succeed is to turn and defeat the men
who have defeated us. 1t is the duty of
every woman in the state of Iowa, no
matter what her condition may be, if she
is worthy of being a citizen, to begin
now and lose no opportunity to influence
voters to nominate and elect men who
VIII stand for right and justice in the
next general assembly
we have several months in which to
carry on this campaign; we must arouse
sentiment, perfect organizatio for the
purpose of supporting the men who have
stood by us, and defeating those who
have turned us down.
If the women of your county feel that
they cannot undertake this work alone,
write to headquarters, COL Equitable
building, Des Moines The executive
committee will arrange to send worker
to help you. If any one would like to
Know the attitude of their senator or
representative in regard to the suffrage
question, l will gladly give them all the
information I can
The strongest, most able men in the
senate were on our side, and the same
can be said of the house We have been
defeated, but l don't think we need feel
discouraged We don't have votes, but
we do have voices, and let us use them
