I've told you she's a beauty.
She made a sensation at her

1t funny that she was there the

belle of independence, rich, petted
and the only child of old General
Worth, who thinks the sun rises

eyes"
Why do you ask my opinion
of him?" slowly asked Mrs. Dur
ham.
Because I am not quite sure of
his honesty. He talks fairly, but
there's something about him
that casts doubt over his fairest
wodrs. He says he has the most
important proposition of my life
to place before me today, and I'm
at loss of my life to place him
whether as well-meaning friend
or sche ming scoundrel. He's
a puzzle to me-"
We'll, Charlie, 1 don't mind

He has always paid me the SUI
premest Difference, and of late
years the most subtle hattery.
No woman, who feels her life
failure, as do mine, can be in
different to such a compliment
from man of trained mind and
masterful character. This Is a
sore subject between the doctor
and myself. And when I see
him shaking hands a little too

of his services, ! repay him with

died. l know what he will say,
and know about what I'll do"
He stopped and kissed his foster
mother tenderly,

Old moss-backs who are now run

years, the south has marched to

times it struck to kill. The
southern people have nothing in
common with these northern
Democrats who make your plat

about the platform or the man.
You would ask no questions; and
what infuriates me is you vote to
enforce platforms that mean eco
nomic ruin to the south"

Sure, but he can'tlive on dead

TO COMBAT ROCK ISLAND.
Rumor OF a Merger of Big Western
Lines.

For some time past there have been
rumOrs in financial circles of mergers at
no distant date between the Chicago.
Milwaukee & st. Paul and the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas and between the Chi
cago & Alton and the Kansas City
Southern, says the St Louis Globe
Democrat. The Milwaukee and Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas lines are both
controlled by the Rockefellers, and the
Rock Island-F'riScO'S combined system
is the rival of the lines that are now
proposed to the consolidated. The Mil
waukee railroad has completed plans for
extensive terminals at Kansas City, arr
will soon establish a fast passenger and
freight service between Kansas City and
Chicago. The Missouri Kansas & Texas
now enters Kansas City on Frisco
tracks by virtue of a lease that expires
next year Its engineers are working on
plan for the road to enter Kansas
City by extending it's own tracks from
Paola, Kan, to Toad-a-LOup. If the
deal between the Milwaukee and Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas is completed the
latter can get into Kansas City over
the belt line tracks The Santa Fe
Frisco and Milwaukee lines own the
Kansas City belt railroad. The union
of the two lines would complete new
north and south system, which would
offset the Rock Island-Frisco combina-
ton. The Milwaukee runs a network
of lines in the states lying between Lake
Michigan and the upper Missouri river
territory, with a direct line southwark
to Kansas City. The Missouri, Kansas
& Texas has similar system in the
southern states, with terminals on the
north in Kansas City and st. Louis, and
an arm reaching to Galveston on the
gulf An alliance between the two lines
would be highly advantageous. The
Rockefellers are on friendly terms with
the Missouri Pacific and will join
hands with the Goulds in an effort to
keep the business from the Rock Island
Frisco and the Santa Fe systems, the
two lines which are really formidable
rivals of the line controlled by the
Gould and Rockefeller interests.
A closer alliance of the Chicago & AL
ton and the Kansas City Southern lines
has long been expected. The delay has
been occasioned by the fact that the
voting trust of the Southern line does
not expire until early in 1904. 1t is very
likely that the consolidation will take
place at that time. The Alton has a
triangle system, with Kansas City, Chi
cago and st. Louis as the chief termi-
nal points, and the Kansas City South
ern runs to the gulf.

it is historical in its allegations, bring
ing out points relating to the construc-
ton of the Katy railway through the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Nationsn and
the method of securing the right of way.
The original suit brought by the Choc-
taw Nation against the railway COM
pany was filed September 9, 1901, hav-
ing been ordered by the ChOctaw legis-
lature several months previous when an
appropriation was made to defray the
cost of the action.
1t is contended for the plaintiff that
congress in attempting to give the cor
poration a right of way through the
territory, 200 feet in width. instead of
100 feet, as is customary, exceeded the
power conferred upon it by the provis-
ions of the treaty entered into by the
Indians, authorizing the grant of the
right of way. Attorneys familiar with
the case think that the result of the suit
will develop into a quetsion of law on
one or two points. and that the supreme
court of the United States will proba-
bly, get their hands on it when there is
no longer a Choctaw Nation. for the
tribal government will cease in 1906.

WON'T ADMIT THE TRUTH.
Western Roads Give Out Low Esti-
mates on Flood Damage

New York, July 15.-Mana gements of
western railroads are reluctant to ad-
nit the magnitude of the DANA ge in
hicted upon their properties by the
floods which recently swept over Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois
and many other western and south
western states. The figures they have
given out as representing the money
loss are ridiculOusly inadequate. It is
estimated by competent authorities that
not less than $40 LOCO, 900 will be required
to make good the actual injuries in>
h1cted on railroads by these floods
that in addition to the usual appropria>
ton allowed for maintenance of track.

restore the properties to the condition
they were before the deluge

which Will, IN a measure, offset the
damage, but this latter element is
likely to be stronger as a factor in tho
gradual uDbuilding of the properties
than in immediate revenue results.
Railroads in the southwest are devot-
ing themselves as never before toward
attracting population, and estimates
are heard that within the next ten
years that territory will be able to
show an increase of 10000, 900 souls or
more. Ihls estimate refers to the areas

Largest Engine on Frisco System
Now Does Switching Work.

the two moguls that were purchased by
the Frisco last winter for the purpose
of hauling coal between this city and
Cherokee, has been converted into a
switch engine. The work of making the
alterations, which consisted of remov-
ing the pilot. placing of a headlight on
the tank and putting foot boards on
each end was done yesterday and the
engine was commissioned for yard ser
vice today.
This engine is a twin sister to the
S35 and they are the two largest en-
gines on the Frisco system. Their exact
weight is not known but it is believed
to be $50 tons. They were purchased
last winter and have been doing very
satisfactory service hauling coal from
the mining district to this city
