Waterville, June 12.-J. d. Atkin-

for the project and had also purchased
a part of the material and would be

hey. The statue is of the finest Car

more than it admired Gladstone, but
since his death it has come to reali-

that he possessed qualities which will

WILL NOT FIGHT.
Santa Fe and Rock Island Enter a
Protective Alliance.

The threatened danger of a serious
conflict between the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe and the Rock Island rail
roads has been averted, says the Kan
sas City Journal. AS the result of last
weeks conferences between the presi-
dents and executive officers of both
systems in New York an understand
ing has been reached by which the
rights of each company will be safe
guarded, and there will be no rate
cutting and no unnecessary traffic
rivalry.
While the Atchison has been steadily
extending its lines in Oklahoma and
New Mexico, the Rock Island, in it's
remarkable expansion within the last
year and a half, has spread into terri
tory heretofore served exclusively by
the Atchison. 1t has been agreed, how
ever, by the executive officers of the
two railroad systems that the rapid
development of the territory in the
southwest will afford business enough
for both, and they do not intend to re-
duce their revenues or profits by any
cutting of rates. Changes in tariffs
that may be found necessary hereafter
will be made by joint action.
That the Rock Island system will
some day extend to the Pacific coast
is certain. The frequent rumors of
friction between the southern Pacific
and the Rock Island companies over
traffic and train service are denied by
officials of both companies.
There is nothing now to warrant a
belief that the Rock Island has deter
mined to Immediately extend its line
west of Ell Paso. Even if disposed to
do so it could not make a trackage con-
tract with the Santa Fe company. The
being built by the Santa Fe
company to Santa Rosa will not be
completed in less than fifteen months.

COLONIZATION SCHEMES.
Santa Fe Working Among swedes,
Beers and Dunkards.

The new representative of the Santa
Fe at Sweden reports to Chicago head
quarters that there will be a heavy i'm
migration from Sweden, Norway and
Denmark next spring and summer to
the great southwest. The lard times
in the north of Europe and the good
times in our own country will infu-
ence thousands of hardy Swedes, Nor
wegians and Danes to cross the ocean
and get a new home under Uncle
Sans flag For the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1902, $4,000 settlers came to
our shores from these three countries.
A prospect is also on foot to locate a
thousand Africander families from the
T%ransvaal in Texas, New Mexico or
Colorado. A committee of four Beers
has looked over the ground for this
last trek of the sturdy conquerors of
the African wilderness. General Sam
uel Pearson. late q~uartermaster gen
eral of the South African republic, rep
resents the movement in American. A
million acres will be bought at first,
and if ~colonized successfully, it is
thought that this exodus will be the
forerunner of a heavy immigration
from South Africa to the United
States. The first thousand families
will consist of the so-called progress
sives, who are accustomed to high
class farming and grazing, being edu-
Gated. intelligent men and women. The
plan is to divide the land holdings into
a thousand farms.
The movement of eastern farmers to
the southwest still continues. A large
colony of Dunkards from central ILL
nois expects to locate in the Arkansas
valley of eastern Colorado, where they
will raise sugar beets and fruit. There
is also a heavy demand by individual
settlers for cattle ranches in western
Kansas and western Oklahoma. A
large colony of Dunkards and Quakers
Is negotiating for a tract of land in the
San Joaquin Valley, California, along

II FOOD.
A California Physicians Idea About
Coffee.

A well known California physician,
John M. Read, of Redding, Cal, main,
tains that coffee, when taken with the
meals, has a tendency to "embalm" or
preserve" the food so that it will not
digest. With this knowledge he has
made many complete cures of indiges-
ton, stomach troubles and nervous
diseases by taking away the coffee and
giving his patients Postum Cereal
Coffee, which helps Indigestion.

letter from a gentleman of Oak p. O..

1t is said that his resignation will be
announced on February /. and that his
successor will be j. w. Dean, at pres

Rio Grande at Pueblo. Mr.. Sears came
from the Santa Fe with General Super.
intendent Dyer when the latter as
sumed direction of the Colorado &
Southern operating department, and
his reported successor is an old Santa
Fe man. Mr.. Dean went from the
Santa Fe to the Rio Grande under the
general SUPPLEMENTARY of Mr.. Egan,
and now that the latter has become
general superintendent of the Colorado
& Southern, he is expected to secure
the services of Mr.. Dean and possibly
others of those in whom he had es-
pecial confidence while on the Rio

master of the Rio Grande at Salida
when Superintendent Hardy had
charge of that division, and wen to
Pueblo about the time that Mr.. Hardy
was transferred to control of the first
