he TOOK THE SUIT CASE.
Engineers and Firemen Disobeyed
General Managers Orders.

ST. Louis, Mo-, March 12-General
Manager McKeen of the vandalia was
waited on yesterday by a committee of
engineers and firemen. The spokesman
said:
Mr.. McKeen, we are not here to
demand an increase in wages; we do
not complain of unfair treatment: we
have no remarks on Increased cost of
living or protest to make about our
rights not being respected, but we do
ask, IN behalf of the enginemen and
firemen of the r. Pennsylvania linAs at
Chicago, that you accept this leather
suit case and silk umbrella as a token
of their high regard and esteem
Mr.. Mckeen responded as follows:
"A rumor reached me. soon after it
was announced that I was coming to
ST. Louis, that the employees were plan
ming to make me a present, and di-
rected that it be not done This is the
first time you have disobeyed my or
ders. You seem to have concluded
that orders given at Chicago do not
apply at st. Louis, and. suppose I'M
der the circumstances 1 will have to let
you off without any demerit marks 1
appreciate the gifts, but appreciate
more the high regard of the loyal and
faithful employees with whom it was
my pleasure to be associated at Chi
cago."
The committee was composed of C.
NJ. Smith and Harry Samuels, both en-
ginemen of the Chicago terminal divi-
sion.

GET FRISCO CONNECTIONS.
Hutchinson Has Hopes for Improve
ment in the Spring.

Hutchinson, Kas., March 12.-It is I'M
derstood that Hutchinson is to get
Frisco passenger service at last. Rail-
road men say that this matter is the
same as settled right now, and that
the trains will be started this way
when the change is made in the time
card.
The passenger agents and the super
intendents and other officials have been
called to St. Louis for the regular
change in the time tables for the
spring of the year. and it is said that
one of the things they will do will be
to run one train in here each day from
the east and another out east in the
afternoon and evening.
There are to be q good many changes
over the Frisco system and new ar
rangements made for the trains for
the worlds fair service. These changes
will make a difference with the trains
on the Kansas division, and the inten-
ton is to extend the service to Hutch
inson at this time.
A joint agent for the Rock Island
and Frisco systems has been installed
at Medora for several weeks, and the
depot arrangements will be improved
in short time so that the proper con-
nections may be made between the
two roads. Everything points tn tho
fact that Hutchinson will have frisco
service this spring and summer, and it
will be a good thing for the city.

week and arrangements are being

f1ourishing condition than ever before
and the prediction is, that the ball of
April Is shall be much enjoyed by the
patrons of the dance.
