TO PUSH OPERATIONS
Orient Has Secured European
Capital for Road.
NEW COMBINATIONS MADE
Work Will Be Rushed at Every
Point.

Word was received in the city yester-
day from Edward Dickinson, second vice
president and general manager Of the
Kansas City, Mexico and Orient rail-
road. that the promoters of the Orient
had secured a large amount of money
while on trip through Europe and that
the building operations would be pushed
in every direction from this time on.
This means that larger forces of men
will be put to work wherever work is
being done now. that work will begin in
other places and that the Orient will
reach Wichita before the time set some
time ago.
The grading between this city and Mil
ton has had a smaller force of men at
work in it for several months than any
other part of the line, and with the
promised increase it would take but
very short time to extend it on into
Wichita. Wichitans have been disap-
pointed in not seeing the rails laid into
this city early this summer as was at
first expected but while operations have
not been especially brisk it is seen that
promoters of the road have been hard at
work raising funds with which TO push
the work to the limit. It takes time to
build a road like the Orient and while
the work seems 10 be moving slowly,
there is always a sufficient cause for it.
In company with President Stilweu
Mr.. Dickinson went to London last June
to confer with the finance committee. Of
which Lord Munson is chairman. Their
plans for an increase of IS. 000000 in the
capital stock Of the International Con-
struction company or from s7,0oo,000 to
$1,000 600. were approved by the commit
tee and the issue was authorized.
\ short time ago Mr. Dickinson re-
ceived a cablegram from Mr.. Stilwell
telling him that the 5000 900 of addition
al stock already has been placed by him.
The International Construction com
pany and the Union Construction COM
pany have contracts with the Orient
company under which they are to turn
the entire road over to it, ready for the
equipment, which the railroad company
will put on. The International company
has contracts for the construction of
LOS and the Union company for 42O miles
of the new road.
In addition to concluding arrangements
for the financing of the Orient road Mr..
Stilwel and Mr.. Dickinson, just before
the latter left London. made a contract
with the Neutrality-suspicious. Steamship
company for a line of steamers from
L ort Stilwell. the western and tidewater
terminus of the road on the Gulf of Cali
fornia, in Mexico, to the Orient. The
combination of the Orient road and the
Hamburg line will be well-nigh globe en-
crclng in its operations. The steamship
company now operates line of steamers
from Hamburg to Ceylon, Calcutta and
Japanese and Chinese ports, and when It's
contract with the Orient goes into effect
1t will extend it's service to Australia ana
other Southern Pacific ports. TO the Ha-
waiian Islands and to Port Stilwell.

Wichita people attended the opening ses-

he took his life On another sheet of
paper was something written that made
it still palmer that he was contemplating
suicide and may have been written just
before he fired the fatal shot. There
was TO date but the lines indicated that
it was written with a very nervous hand
The formation of the Capital letters
showed that one person had written both
pieces but the latter written in great
excitement. It explains Itself:
Don't 90 to expense of sending me to
st. Joseph Bury me here. My poor
family is without money.
Notify Mr.. Yale and my brother a.
Knox City. Mo. W. T. Mitchell. Ny
nephew, Mr.. McKinnon at Exeter. Neb
"Oh, My poor wife and children"
Those were evidently the last lines ever
written by Mr.. Mitchell and they show
beyond the shadow of a doubt that he
had become insane. Some Of the men
at the Johnson-Larimer house say that
Mitchell was heard to lament that he
had borrowed money to buy stock in the
big wholesale house.
President Naftzger Of the Fourth Ma
tionsl bank said that If Mr. Mitchell
worried himself about money invested in
stock it was only another evidence that
he was insane because the house. was
one of the best in the state. 1t was
making money and every dollar issued
was worth a premium of fifty cents. If
he had shouldered too much stock he
could easily sell it.
Mr.. o. P Taylor, manager Of the john
son-Larimer Dry Goods company said
Mr. Mitchell had only been here a short
time but they had found out in the time
that he was here that he was d very nice
gentleman. He was member of the
Methodist church and a man of excellent
habits. He said that they had noticed
that he was a little nervous but thought
it was over some business transaction
that did not amount 10 much.
Before coming here Mr. Mitchell was
assistant credit man for the John s.
Britain Dry Goods company Of st. Joseph
and his work here was not new to him.
The suggestion has been made that after
Mitchell wrote that first note that he con-
Guided not to take his life and that the
policeman coming to the house aroused
him from his sleep and that in a fit of
nervousness he committed the fatal act
1t might have been that if he could have
been allowed to sleep, provided he was
asleep. that his life might have been
saved.
