noble. gentleman and a knighJlier sol

Davis declared that next after the sur

people Of the South. Why2 Because
Mr.. Davis had come to q knowledge of
the magnanfmity of Mr. LincolE's heart
and the generosity Of his intentions.
If Lincoln had lived there would have
been no era OF reconstruction, with its
repressive agencies and oppressive leg
islation. If Lincoln had lived there
would have been wanting 10 the eX-
tremism of the time the bloody cue
Of his taking OF to mount the steeds
and spur the tanks Of vengeance. For
Lincoln entertained, with RESPECT to the
rehabilitation of the Union, the sin
gle wish that the Southern States-to
use his homeIy phrascoIogy-'sh should
come back home and behave them

have made this wish eflectual as he

LIMITED EVERY DAY.
Service of Santa Fe California
Train Increased.

The work of the division superintend-
entS of the Santa F'e who have been ar
ranging new time card at the general
offices, is almost completed. Most of the
cards have been strung and the major
lty of the superintendent have returned
to their respective headquarters. One
or two men are still here. however, and
are rapidly putting the finishing touches
to the new schedule. The card will then
go to the publishers and when it next
appears it will be in the form of folders
for the use of the travelling public.
Nothing definite can vet be learned
regarding the changes to be made in
the new card but it is stated that aside
from the resumption of the California
Limited, which will be on November %,
and a few changes in the schedule gov
erning local trains, time card No. q will
remain about the same as it's predeceS-
sor, No. 20. Those changes which will
affect Topeka are as follows:
Heretofore the California Limited has
been passing through Topeka on only
three days in the week; the weStbOund
train at $50 a. m. on Sundays and
Wednesdays and the eaStbound at 1850
=. m. on Sundays and Thursdays. Here
after this train, both east and west
bound, will pass through Topeka every
day in the week with but a very slight
change in the time of arrival and de-
parture. No. 10S the train which has
been leaving Topeka at $40 a. M every
day for st. Joe. will leave hereafter at
tbs a. m. The schedule for No. 106, the
afternoon train on the same branch,
remains the same as it was before the
time card was changed and provides for
No 106 to leave Topeka at 4:45 p. m,
Immediately after No. {. These trains,
returning, will arrive in Topeka from
ST Joe at $50 a. m. and 10:40 .. m, re-
spectively.
1t was stated previous to the time
card meeting that a new train was to be
put on from Kansas City to the west
but nothing has yet been given out re-
garding this train.

HOBART DEFEATS TRUST.
Sells Abilena at Cut Price in Spite of

for less money. Hence we return here
with the above mentioned draft, and
will say that under no circumstances
can we furnish for Mr.. Hobarts store
until we have sufficient evidence that
he has deserted the cut-rate profession.
No, John, the other boys have treated
US so fairly and have purchased so lib
orally, that we feel we are getting,
through them, all the good and all the
trade we could reasonably expect from
your fair city. The cutters as a class
have been so unfair to US in more ways
than one, that we have decided to shake
the whole bunch. and so far as our bus
mess is concerned, we are obliged 10
