TO GUST EXPRESS COMPANIES.
Texas State Board Begins Operation
on Four Lines.

Austin, Tex, Aug. 22-Legal steps
are to be taken Immediately on the part
of the state of Texas to drive out of
the business the four express COM
panies which are operating on lines in
this state. The railroad commission to-
day instructed Attorney General c. K.
Bell to institute suit against the Wells
Fargo and the Pacific express COM
Danies for the forfeiture of their per-
mits to do business in Texas. and for
heavy penalties, and against the United
States and the American express COM
panies to restrain them from contin-
uing to do business in the state. The
latter two are joint stock concerns, and
are not required to have a permit from
the state to do business here, and they
can, therefore, be reached by restrain
ing order from the court. The charge
which is made the basis for these pro-
posed suits is that the defendant
companies have failed to maintain gen.
eral offices in Texas, and have violated
the law in other RESPECTS.
The railroad commission had received
information that the express COM
panies named were preparing to petit
ton the federal court to enjoin the COM
mission from promulgating the proposed
new tariff express rates. on which a
rehearing was yesterday granted to
take place in September. In order to
forestall action the railroad commission
will seek to drive the four COMPANIES
out of business.

GOOD FOR THE ERIE.
That Road Has Made Good Showing
During Last Year.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Such an excellent
record has been made by the Erie road
for its last fiscal year that the issue OF
the forthcoming annual report Is await
ed with general interest, so that the de-
tails of the record may be studied. That
report will outline in complete detail the
operations of the most successful year
the company has ever known. In the
matter of earnings the income account
speaks for itself 1t viii demonstrate
that at least one of the trunk lines in
eastern territory had not by any means
reached the limit of its earning capac-
ity in 1902.
TIE road will show on mileage basis
an increase of well over Is per cent in
gross earning capacity. This achieve
ment will be largely explained by the
usual table of freights. showing in
creases in anthracite and bituminous
coal tonnage over the average of the
last five years. This table will also in
dictate quite clearly the general pro-
gress of the road in the matter of freight
transportation.
It will furnish a very interesting
chapter in the history of the Erie.~ The
year has marked the beginning of new
era on the road. The labor of the new
management has begun to- make itself
evident in increased efficiency of equip
ment and track and in consequent gen
eral increase in traffic.

SLEEPING CAR SERVICE.
Is to Shortly Be Inaugurated Be-
tween Chicago and Pacific Coast.

Chicago, Aug. Pas a result of the
merger OF the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern, and Burlington railroads,
through sleeping car service is to be
inaugurated from Chicago to North Pa
cific coast points, doing away with the
necessity of changing cars in St. Paul
and Minneapolis.
A late night train to Chicago, connect
ing with Pacific coast trains, will be ad-
ded soon, it is said. The matter was de-
cided upon by President Hill of the
Great Northern and President Harrison
and Vice President Miller of the Bur-
lington.
The Burlington now has no late Chi
cago train, but the Milwaukee & st.
Paul and Chicago & Northwestern have
trains connecting with the Pacific coast
trains. With a connecting Burlington
train and through car service it is be-
lieved a large share of business could
be diverted to the Burlington.

NO MORE CHILDREN.
Are Grown Up Before They Leave
Swaddling Clothes.

Speaking of the unhappy tendencies of

thing has impressed me more forcibly

modern life, and 1 have come to look at
it of the unhappiest conditions of
the age in which 1 live. The child is pass

Time was when the sweeter essences of
life were afforded by the boys and girls
who persisted in remaining boys and girls
until they We're we'll along in their teens.
1t is different now. Children are grown
before they get out of their swaddliug
clothes. 1t seems to be a necessary con-
dition of the age. In my opinion there is
one thing which is more to blame for the
fact complained of than any other infiu-
ence, and it is the matter of dress.
Parents dress their children to death.

not yet rounded into the tenth year over

it? The parents. They are responsible

bad condition. Dress and interest in the
subject develops the social instinct toe
rapidly. and this is bad for the child al
school. Girls are particularly susceptible
to influences of this kind. Development
of the social instinct is rapid enough with
them under any circumstances, and any
thing that will aggravate the tendency

WRECK AT SANTA FE.
Two Boys Tamper With Brakes of a
Freight Car.

What might have proved a serious
wreck involving loss of life was for
tunately averted in the Denver & Rio
Grande yards here Friday night says
the Santa Fe New Mexican. From what
can be learned two boys, aged IL and 5
years. amused themselves for a time
playing about the cars. Growing tired
of the rather tame feature they began
working with the brakes of a box car
laden with hay which stood at the top
of the heavy grade. In some manner
the brakes became loosened and the
car started down the incline, gathering
momentum with every revolution of the
wheels. The car dashed over the bridge
and collided with a train that was
standing on the siding a short distance
further on. The result was that the
cars were severely damaged. and one
had practically the whole end stove in
Fortunately the two boys escaped I'M

hood say that the noise of the collision
was something terrific and that for
some time nothing could be seen nor

for another set. Most of this work was
done without interrupting traffic in the
least, but the evening train from the
north caught the bridge men in bad
shape and was compelled to wait some
time before it could cross. This gang

MAY USE UNION pAcIF1c.
Orient Plans for Entrance to Kansas
Citv


Kansas City. Aug. 22.-''The Kansas
City, Mexico & Orient railway prefers a
route out of Kansas City on the north
side of the Kaw river" said E. Dickin-
son, general manager of the company,
last night. For this reason we will be
glad to secure the use of the Union
Pacific tracks if satisfactory arrange
mentS can be made.
Il do not know how far the Union
Pacific railway has progressed in its
plan to double track the line between
Kansas City and Topeka | know that
the plan was being considered before 1
resigned the position of general man
ager of the Union Pacific to come to the
Orient, and I believe the improvement
will be made. The line between Kan
sas City and Topeka is the me travel
ed on the system, for the reasLl that
it is used by the Chicago. Rock Island
& Pacific also.
IF we secure the use of the Union
Pacific tracks we will run about as far
as Fall, which is seven miles this
and run southwest to Emporia. If our
present plan to switch off just west of
Kansas City, Kan, cross the Missouri
river twice and enter the city from the
north, is carried out, we would have
run of about twenty-five miles on Union
Pacific tracks.
This plan, however, is somewhat
conditional upon the location of the
new union station. If the depot is
built on or near the present site we
might secure the use of the Union Pa
cific bridge also and enter the station
directly from Armstrong.
The adoption of this route would In
no way affect the plans for our Outer
Belt railway This will be built ac-
cording to the original intentions, curv-

this amount among the men, says the
Times-Index. 1t has been the previous
custom of the company to fix the 18th
as pay day, but when that date fell on
Saturday the pay checks would be held
