ROCK ISLAND SHORT CUT.
Sald to Be Backing a New Railroad
in Missouri.

Mexico. Mo-, July 22.=John Sanders,
who heads surveying party composed
of eleven men, working under President
S. F. Scott of Kansas City has COM
pleted a survey for the proposed St.
Louis & St. Paul railway from Mem
phis, near the northern boundary of this
state into this city.
1t will be recalled that this road has
been Incorporated under the laws of the
state of Iowa and Missouri to run from
EldOn or OttumWa, Iowa, to Union, Mo.
1t will enter Missouri at the north line
of Scotland county, passing through tbs
county seats of Memphis, Edna, Shell
byville, Paris. Mexico, Hermann and
Union. Profile maps have been filed in
all counties as far south as Audrain.
1t is stated that the Rock Island is
behind the movement. No other line
except the Rock Islnad enters Eldon,
the northern terminus that is most dis
cussed in connection with the road. The
Rock Island also makes Ottumwa, a
short distance from Eldon. Further
more, the road could connect with but
one line at Union. which is the old St.
Louis & Colorado line. built out of st.
Louis as far as the Gasconade and now
under course of construct = to Kansas
City. This line was bough- by the Rock
Island few months ago
The proposed road would give the
Rock Island a short cut to ST. Louis for
traffic from its mass of lines in Iowa,
Northern Illinois. Minnesota and Ne
braSka.

Worth than from st. Joseph. Omaha and
other points. 1t was shown by testimony
offered by Freight Agent Merrill of the
Rock Island that the Rosenbaum company
was shown favors over other shippers

cial Agent Marchand, for the interstate
commission, is being, assisted by Railroad

REMAIN AT DALHARr.
Rock Island Offices Will Not Be
Moved to Ft. Worth.

Dalhart, Texas, July 22-Great excite
ment prevails in Dalhart on account OF
the late developments in railroad circles.
Confidence has again been restored and
several new features introduced that
makes it perpetual. The late Texas leg
islature introduced and passed certain
laws, one of which. it was generally
expected by many would result in the
removal of the Rock Island general Of
fees at Dalhart to FIT. Worth. Follow
ing close upon the passage of this bill
came the information that the ChoctaW
& Gulf would put in a cutoff between
Amarillo and Iucumcari. d distance of
124 miles, whereby all through business
would find an outlet originating on the
line of that road south and southwest.
1t was expected rundhouse, main shops
and necessary buildings would be erect
ed at Amarillo and Tucumcari, all of
which had "a tendency to divert atteu-
ton from Dalhart to the former points.
However a sad gloom now rests over
that territory. In place of the Rock Is
land removing their general offices,
there has not been a day passed but
additional force, increased pay rolls.
new buildings and equipments have
been put in use by that company al Dali
hart. The construction of the Amarillo
and Tucumcari branch that has been
under progress since early spring and
so near completed and that the two
former cities expected so much would
wipe DalnarL from the map, mas 1dlien
by the Wayside, all work on that line
having been permanently abandoned.
1t is now the general opinion by those
best posted and close to the powers that
be, that several important deals have
been entered in to with a view to utilize
the c., r. 1. & P. line and FIT. W. & D.
c. lines in to Dalhart. The Frisco line
will tap the Rock Island UP in Kansas,
and use this line for all its coast and
Colorado and Utah business to Dalhart.
forming a junction with the Denver
road at this point, and the Santa Fe cut
off south of Santa Rosa again. The
Santa F'e and Rock Island Will merge
their interests between Hutchinson,
Kan, and Santa Rosa. n. NJ, inter-
changing the passenger and freight
business over this line. The latest re-
port now touching on the abandonment
Of the Tucumcari-Amarilla cutoff is TO
the effect the c., r. 1. & p. have secur-
ed control of the F. w. & d. c. lines
between Fl. Worth and TeXalini Tex,
and the Colorado Southern between
TeXalini and Denver. While these re-
ports of the control of the above named
lines by the Rock Island have been in
circulation for long time, little Gre
dence was placed in them until the
abandonment of construction on the
Tucumcari branch. In fact such a move
must have important reasons sufficient
to support such a stand and the conclu-
sion is that the Rock Island has secured
that line and will use the road to Dal-
hart all of which pointing directly to
Dalhart and the positive possession of
the goods which is nine points in law,
makes her future bright.

BAND ENGAGEMENT ENDS.
Series of Concerts Closes With Wag-
merriam Programma.

A continuous performance of Wagner
is perhaps a little too much for a hot
night but the third and last concert of
the Banda Rosa Topeka engagement
at the auditorium last night was nota-
Bile one. Several changes were made in
the program me as first arranged and
the numbers included the Rienzi, Me
belungen, and knights of the Holy
hauser overture, the Last Supper"
from 'Parsifal," and 1.-THE Ride of the
Valkyries."
The solos were Walters Dream Song
from Die Meistersinger," for the trum-
pet, which Signor Bottega gave with his
usual fine mastery of the instrument,
and 1.-THE Ode to the Evening STAR
solo. baritone, by SignOr Barilotti. The
encores were all light and were &C
corded generously The audience was
equal to that of the night before, some
thing less than 500 people being scat
tered about in the different cool spots
throughout the auditorium at each con-
cert.
In the Interpretation and rendition of
Wagner SCREENINGS band leads all the
others. His orchestration is peculiarly
suited to the Wagner score and his
Italian musicians enter into the spirit
of the German music-drama with even
greater enthusiasm than they show for
er favorites among brass bands but if
one cares for Wagner one is likely to
think that SCREENINGS excelS all others
Most of the numbers played by the Red
Band last night have been done here by
other bands but it is safe to say that
they have never been played as well.
! The best of the three programmes
was played at the matinee Tuesday At
this concert also many changes were
made in the programme. Rossini'
wilhelm Tell'' overture was substi-
tuted for Poet and Peasant, there was
the sextette from Lucia, Waldeufers
waltz Mon Reve" Mascagnfs dance
Characteristic" and above all the grand
selection from Carmen. Among the
encores were La Paloma'' and Love $
Dream After the Ball" The audience
was the smallest of the engagement.

H. G. cLARKs NEW PLACE.
Atchison Man Takes Good Job With
the Wabash.

President Ramsey of the Wabash an
nounced yesterday that on August 1
some official changes would take place
in the operating department. Mr. A.
Robertson, superintendent of the middle
division of the Wabash, with headquar-
tiers at Decatur, has been given a we'll
merited promotion and he will be ap-
pointed manager of the West Virginia

will succeed Mr.. c. L. Bretz on the West
Virginia Central. Mr.. Bretz resigns be-
cause he has interests at Cumberland

eastern lines mentioned and the promo
ton win give eminent satisfaction.
The vacancy on the Wabash middle
division will be filled by the appoint
ment of Mr.. Horace G. Clark superin-
tendent of the Missouri Pacific western
division at AtchisOn. Mr.. Clark was at
one time general superintendent of the
Missouri Pacific and subsequently ne
