The Santa Fe is erecting a big high
board fence along that part of the m n in
line track which lies just south of the
shops This fence shuts of the shops
from the outside world and it is thought
will assist in decreasing the number of
things stolen from the shops at night.
The Santa F'e will shortly make extern
sive repairs to their main line track in
the vicinity of Topeka. The new steel
for this work mas already arrived and
has been distributed along those parts
of the track which are in need of re-
pairs. Some of the main line track is
badly in need of repairs especially on
the curves most of which have been
worn down until there are hardly any
rails for a train to run upon.

ROUTE FOR NEW LINE.
Frisco-Rock Island Has a Way to
Reach New Orleans

ST T.ouis. July 1S-JJpon excellent au-
thority it is learned that the Frisco
Rock IslandNew Orleans line from
Memphis will run down the west side
of the river crossing at point about
fifteen miles above Baton Rouge, La,
and using the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley from that point to New Orleans.
While there is no doubt but that the
Frisco will eventually build and oper-
ate its own lines from St. Louis and
Chicago to New Orleans. it is under
stood that until arrangements now pc
ing made for the construction of this
line from Memphis down, and while it
is being built. the Yazoo and Mlsslsslp-
pi Valley road will be used
ARRANGEMENTS have been made with
the Illinois Central. the owner of the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley, for track
age rights over this line. and 1t is be-
lieved that in consideration of these
trackage rights the Illinois central VIII
not only have share in the Frisco
traffic from the west, but will be favor
ed in the terminals which the Frisco has
in contemplation in New Orleans.
Bv forming an alliance with the
Frisco the Illinois Central can also
strengthen its position against the Mis-
souri, Pacific, which is building a New
Orleans line.
The Illinois Central has gridironed the
delta with its lines in manner to pre-
clude rivalship until the Frisco lald
plans to enter in this territory. linen
it is stated that a conference was held
between the Frisco and Illinois Central
officials with the foregoing results
The F'risco-Rock Island system under
these conditions will consist of the fol-
lowing roads forming the Chicago-New
Orleans line: Chicago and Eastern IL
linois; st. Louis. Memphis and South
eastern; the Houck roads, and the two
new branches of the new Frisco line
fl I'M Memphis to New Orleans and from
so. he point on this line through the
Kirby lumber district.
1t is understood that the securities of
these lines will be covered by blanket
mortgage.
The new system will probably be
about fifty miles longer than the Illi-
nois Central main line and about as
long as the Missouri Pacific.

little or no benefit. Doctors were en-

Clothes in Pictures.

The Tailor and Cutters art critic is
again lamenting the lack of sartorlal
knowledge displayed by portrait paint
ers in their pictures at the Royal
Academy In the current issue of the
journal he exclaims, in large capitals,
that if these pictures represent the
present-day school of British artlsts: II
is high time England awoke! Are
mems clothes today he asks, so ut
terly unworthy of the painters art?
Are they so completely devoid of taste
and beauty that they are so shame
fully reproduced? They cannot prove
otherwise than to be the laughing stock
of tailors and their customers"
Coming to Details, the portrait OF
Lord Mount Stephen shows a total
absence of buttons on the coat; there
is not buttonhole in the lapel and the
trousers are quite innocent of seams.
The coat and vest are contortions in
black the trousers a Smudge in gray.
There were very few of the pictures,
indeed. that portrayed a gentleman in
ordinary dress that was the least bit
like what gentlemen of today wear
Coats are so miserably drawn that they
bear no possible resemblance to the
originals"
In one portrait "the right lapel is at
least five times as large as the left
while in another there is one solitary
buttonhole in the lapel, and that is
large enough for three and there is not
single button indicated on either the
coat or the vest"
One coat presents "a style that no
one but an old woman who is brought
into the house sometimes to mend the
clothes would adopt. 1t is a. libel on
tailordom." A reverend gentleman
alas. is portrayed with his sleeve half
wav up to his elbow.
1--WE should like to condemn those
who have produced them to wear onlS
garments such as they have portrayed
on their figures. They would then pre-
sent such pitiable spectacle that they
would never dare to leave their homes. .

Santa Fe Refuses to Re-empIOy

Radical Action Taken to Pre-
vent Hasty Strikes.

len INVOLVED.
Will Attempt to Start Genera
Strike of ShOpmen.
All Because Pay Checks Were
One Day Late.

La Junta, Colo, July 1S.-When the
2O3 Santa Fe shopmen who struck here
Thursday because of the non-arrival Of
their pay checks reported for work yes
terday they were informed that their
services were no longer required. The
strikers declare that they Will attempt
TO call out all of the men of their craft
now working for the Santa Fe system.
1t was generally reported in Topeka
Friday that the difficulty at La Junta
had been amicably settled, the men be-
ing allowed TO. return to work as soon
as the pay checks were distributed. The
above dispatch from La Junta seems to
give a different color to the situation.
If it is correct that the Santa Fe has
locked out all it's shopmen at La Junta
because of the strike, it may have ser
ious consequences. 1t seems a trivial
thing to start a general strike of shop
H1en on the Santa Fe system, but it Is
evident that there must be some bitter
feeling in the matter to provoke such
radical action.
The shopmen claim that it is of the
greatest Importance that they get their
pay CneckS on time, in order to avoid
garnishment suits. They say that it is
sometimes necessary for the men to
walk out in order to impress upon the
company the Importance of paying on
time.
Local shopmen know very little about
the trouble at La Junta but the general
belief seems to be that the action of
the Santa Fee officials was taken for
the purpose of preventing future walk
outs on such slight provocation, ard
that it will be rescinded before Ions,
and the men taken back to work.
The trouble was caused by the fall
p ~ a-T-r-
rive at La Junta on time. They are sup
posed to be sent out from the office of
the Santa Fe treasurer here at Topeka
in time to reach the men on the fifteenth
Of ea0l month Through some mistake,
they did not reach La Junta until the
18th. Inis precipItated the WaIkout.

Mcpherson, Kan, July 1S.--A large
number Of citizens attended the railroad
meeting held in the office of Grattan &
Grattan. George McCourt was chair
man and Frank Grattan temporary sec
rotary of the evening. They decided that

1t was decided to appoint committees
to circulate the petitions throughout the
townships but they were not appoint
ed. 1t was also decided to call an
other meeting in the near future and
appoint those. In the discussions it was
developed that many people think that
an extra election will bring a great deal
Of expense on the county. All expenses
of the election viii be paid by the rail-
road company. Every resident taxpayer
is allowed to sign the petition so that
the ladies have as much right to sign
as the men, providing they pay taxes
in their own names. The petitions were
gone over and found TO be as agreed.
