Appeal to all Sons Of Veterans.

To the Sons Of Confederate Vet
Grams in Middle Tennessee:
Nv Dear Comrades-As com
mander of the First Tennessee
Brigade, United Sons of Confed-
crate Veterans, ! wish to bring
sharply to your attention the re-
union which is to be held III
Nashville June IA, 10, and 10,
next.
Veterans and sons of veterans
from all over our Southland will
meet at this time.
1t will be our privilege, and
for the last time perhaps, to en-
tertain the .old veterans. The
ranks are fast thinning, and the
infrmities of old age will pre-
vent an increasing number from
attending future reunions.
Tn order to do effective work
If is nessary to organize. In
1861 our boys went to the iroh'
and left at home only the women,
children, old men and negroes
In every community there is
a sufficene number of sons OF
veterans to organize a live camp
Literature will be furnished
upon request. The brigade ad
iutant will be glad to be present
and assist in the organization
whenever so requested.
Let every loyal son see to II
that his name is enrolled on TIN
nearest camp list. Let"Organize'
and Nashville" be your watch
word from now on till June!
II is our sacred privilege t
TO honor the Confederate soldier
Our opportunity is right now
God will take care of him whe
his days on earth are ende'
Let us, therefore, make MI
feel that he is appreciated by h
sons and his neighbors.

expresses my sentiments exactl!

ORDERS COME SLOWLY.
Pullman Company Has Let Out 1000
Men the Past Month.

Lack of demand for new cars has
compelled the Pullman company to
let so fully 1000 men from its shops
since July 1. Officials of the company
say the shops are pretty we'll caught
up on all contracts and new orders
are coming in slowly. They expect,
however, a big improvement in the
business in the fall, when the re-
employment of all the men let out
during the summer will become nee
essary.
For three or four years the Pull
man company has maintained a large
complement of men, and, while the
reduction appears large at this time,
there are said to be more hands at
work now than formerly during pc
RODS of what were regarded as nor
NAL times. 1t is figured out by ex-
perts that about one-fifteenth part of
the freight cars now in service on the
railroads in this country must be re-
newed each year, to say nothing of
additional equipment the companies
must build or purchase to keep pace
with increasing business.
From present indications the rail-
roads of this country will fall far
short of filling their car requirements
this year, and it is reasonable, there
fore, to assume that the necessities
which should have been supplied
during 1904 will come in addition to
the needs of 1905.

MAKES HARD TERMS.
Kansas City, Kas., Wants Rock Island
to Pay Well for Privileges.

Kansas City, Kas., Aug. IA COM
mittee from the Kaw Valley CONNER
cial club has decided upon the condi-
lions that they would ask the council
to impose upon the Rock Island rail-
road in return for granting the re-
quest of the company ror certain
streets in West Armourdale for the
purpose. of charging the company'S
yards and making additional improve
ments. The COMMITTEES voted to go
before the council and ask that the
Rock Island be required for the va
cation of the streets to pay $500, to
be used for repairing the Armourdale
sewers and building a pumping sta
ton at the foot of Mill street, and
also be required to pay the city $780,
900 within a period of ten years, to be
used for viaduct purposes.
While the Rock Island has not
publicly announced just what the i'm
provements will be in West Armour
dale, if granted the use of the streets
it is semi-officially announced that the
road intends to not only build new
yards, but to construct round-house
there to cost $25O,000- For more than
a. wear the Rock Island has been try
ing to secure possession of more
ground in West Armourdale, near the
present location of the car repair
shops of the company. 1t is an
nounced from a reliable source that
the sole object of the company in
trying to get hold of more ground
there is to build upon it the round
house and later machlne shops, en-
ploying from 800 to 400 men.
The shops of the Rock Island at
present are located at Harrington,
Kas The buildings there are of a
temporary nature and bear evidence
that the company did not intend to
make that the permanent location of
the shops
Since the Rock Island has merged
with the Frisco system an attempt
has been made to secure a location in
this city for shops and round-houses
to combine the work of both roads.
Some of the Frisco officials want the
shops built on the Missouri side and
other officials of the Rock Island are
fighting to secure a location over the
line in Kansas City, Kas. 1t is under
stood that the Rock Island is anxious
to locate it's shops in a larger railroad
center than Harrington, and that as
soon as a more suitable location is
secured they will be moved away from
that town.
If the shops were moved to Ar
mourdale it would be a great benefit
to both Kansas Citys and would help
to restore confidence in the section
of the city that has been twice
flooded.
For this reason when the PROPOSE
ton of the Commercial club commit
tee comes before the council it will
probably meet opposition from those
tends to build big shops in Armour
dale They will take the ground that
the amount which the road would be
asked for the use of the streets va
Gated should not be SO large as pro-
DOSed bV the club.

HURT CITY's REPUTATION.
St.. Louis Citizens Unite to Punish
ScaIpers Who Swindled Visitors.

ScaIpefS Who SNindled Visitors.
st. Louis, Aug. For a long time
a large number of complaints have
been coming in to the various rail-
road offices from passengers who have
been defrauded of their money by
ticket ScalperS, who have sold them
tickets not available for their passage,
at the same time promising they were
all right and inducing passengers, by
such promises, to part with their
money. Worlds fair visitors from all
parts have been defrauded by this
method, and many of them have been
detained in ST. Louis because they
have no funds with which to purchase
other tickets, through ticket scalpers
refusing to refund money obtained by
these fraudulent representations. 1t
has at last appeared to those interest
ed in maintaining the credit of the city
that radical action should be taken,
and when five passengers, the majority
of whom were without money, were
held up several days ago, the hand
of the law was invoked, and about
$50 p. m. yesterday attachments were
served upon five of the brokers' offices
in the neighborhood of Union station
and their stock of tickets taken in
charge by constables, to satisfy claims
against them for money obtained by
misrepresentation.
1t is hoped that this action will lead
to better treatment of visitors to ST
Louis and insure that for the rest of
the period they will not be the prey of
INSCRIPTIONS persons, who, by false
promises, lure them into their Offices
and there induce them to buy some
thing which is of no value
Justice of the Peace William J. Han
ley and Constable Andrew Sheridan of
the Eighth district, acted promptly in
thus protecting the strangers, and
Decker did good work in carrying out
the process.

WRECKED EXPRESS CAR.
Robbers Hold Up Rock Island Train
in Texas.

Delhart, Texas, Aug. Rock Island
passenger train No. 4, eastbound was
held up Saturday night at Logan, a
small station about 20 miles west of
Delhart, by three masked men. Engi-
neer G. E. Walker made the following
statement concerning the holdup:
I'VE had made our regular stop at
Logan, when both myself and fireman
were covered with guns and ordered to
move up. We did as ordered and stop
ped the train at the end of the switch.
The robbers then had US uncouple the
mail and express cars and run a short
distance up the track, where they
again ordered us to stop, when they
proceeded to enter the express car and
attacked the through safe with explos-
ives. They exploded two separate
charges of dynamite on the safe, but
failed to effect an entrance. Having
used up all their explosives, they made
off in the darkness. The mail car and
passengers were not disturbed. The ex-
plosions badly wrecked the express car
and safe. The local safe did not con-
tain any money, consequently the rob-
bers did not secure anything
A posse from Delhart, headed by
Sheriff ]. N. Webb, was rushed to the
scene of the holdup and it is said, they
have the robbers surrounded and expect
to make a capture.

Returns from st. Louis show that

Worlds fair than any other city in

crowded. For a week or two past

the rush from here, but it is believed
to be only of temporary nature. and
Chicago, it is expected, will continue
to send large numbers of people to
