TWO ROUTES 70 THE COAST.
Panhandle Cutoff To Be Largely
Used For Freight Traffic.
A HARVEY EATING HOUSE.

Wichita, Feb. ia contract has
recently been let to Messrs. b. Lan,ry
& Sons, Strong City, Kansas, for build
ing the first sixty miles of track of the
Eastern Railway of New Mexico IA
part of the Santa Re system), the same
to include the grading, bridging and
masonry work. This section extends
from Belcn, Il station on the A. L. IL ).
Il. railway, 30 miles south of Albu-
querque, eastward to Willard, station
on the new Santa Fe central line. The
work on this section is quite difficult.
When completed the Eastern New
Mexican railway will extend from
Texico, on the Pecos Valley railway to
Rio Buerco, station on the A. u. &
S. Il. coast line, 81 miles west of Al
buouerQue. 1t will be about 200 miles
long and will be finished during 1904.
The Santa Fe will then have two
routes to the coast; the present one
through La Juntu, Ration and Glorieta
passes, and the new line through
Wichita, the Panhandle country and
Pecos Valley. When the latter is
ready it will be largely used for
freight traffic, owing to the easier
grades, whereby "a greater tonnage can
be hauled The saving in trans-conti-
mental mileage was not SO much OF Il
factor in locating this cutoff as the
saving in grades.
With the above news again comes
word that the Harvey people will pur-
chase site and erect a large hotel and
railroad eating house here.
While there has been nothing deli
mite given out by Mahan Bros, the own
ers of the 100 feet of ground directly
opposite the Santa Fe passenger sta
ton, there has been rumor current
for the past several days that the
Harvey people were negotiating Tor
the site and it is not at all improbable
that the deal will be closed III a short
time and the announcement made that
plans are out for building.

END OF A STAGE CAREER.
How OAs Mans Admiration for the
stage Was the Cause OF Mis
Roman Nose.

my wife tells me that our 15-year
old boy is stage-struck," said a man
smoking his after dinner cigar over
on another mans piazza, according
to the Detroit Free Press. "She is
worried about it, but l tell her to
take it easy--it will all come right
| was stage-struck once myself, and
that's how | came to have this hand
some Roman nose, and to be a re-
spected and prosperous lawyer"
Roman nose" repeated the other
man, II can't see the connection be-
tween Roman nose and your being
stagestruck."
We'll, the connection is there. all
right" continued the other man,
fondly caressing the little arch in the
middle of his large, ornamental nose.

of course, my parents bitterly OPP

The fever continued to increase. how

our outfit, guitars and gaudy ward
robes one day. and had no trouble
in getting together a pretty fair au-
dience that night. at ten cents each.

off all right. They were really fun

close of the entertainment l met
with bad luck.

story of the Roman nose, and she

Runcie Gives Interesting Testi-
mony in General Wood Case

Washington. Nov. 2S.-The senate
committee on military affairs yester-
day heard Major James E. Runcie of
Havana, probably the most important
witness that will be offered by the
opponents of General Wood, in an at
tempt to prevent his confirmation to
be major general. Major Runcie told
the committee of dinner at Santiago
de Cuba, attended by himself, when it
is alleged was planned the magazine
article attacking Major General Brooke
nat has figured conspicuously in the
Wood case. Major Runcie was stopped
more than once during the course of
his testimony and told to give nothing
but the facts of which he had personal
knowledge. This did not exclude his
story OF the dinner incident which re-
suited in the issue of subpoenas for
three other witnesses, among them
General Brooke.
In his testimony Major Runcie said
he acted as confidential adviser to
General Wood nearly two years and
that they lived together at Santiago

same house that Baker went to Santi-
ago in search of material for the mag
azine article. The meeting was ar
ranged between the men and the din
ner followed as testified by Major
Runcie at which was discussed the
plan to have published an article
which would exploit the success of
General Wood in dealing with the af-
fairs at Santiago. Major Rupcie de-
ciared that General Wood asked him
to write an article and that he had
done so. He asserted that Wood knew
what the article contained and that
they had correspondence about it as a
result of a furore created by its pub-
LEGATION. He offered to produce copies
OF the letters he had written General
Wood concerning his own defense. II

edge of General Woods order for the
arrest of Major Rathbone and that a
