Goes to Kansas City to Marry Man
She Had Never Seen.

| Kansas City, Dec. 9.-Had w. d.
| Wren of Soldier, Kan, appeared at the
union depot as late as 10 o'clock last
| night he would have been surrounded
at once by a Gordon of city detectives.
| depot secret service men and police
men whose services had been enlisted
in behalf of a pretty young woman
from Olathe, Kan, who said she was
willing to marry him. At o'clock
last night young woman wearing a,
white rosette on the lapel of her Jacket
and carrying a handkerchief in her
hand attracted much attention among
| the travellers in the waiting room.
The girl came from Olathe by way
| OF the Santa Fe. She had a quantity
or luggage which she at once deposit
| ed with the depot matron. She also
| told the matron why she was nervous
and why she wore the rosette on her
Jacket She was going to be married.
She had never seen the man she was to
wed nor had he seen her and he was
to also carry his handkerchief in his
hand when he entered the depot
/ But the man did not appear. In an

that Mr.. Wren must have been de-

did not think it necessary. From then
until 10 o'clock the officers watched
Tor Wren, but he either saw them first
or did not go to the depot at all.
After the officers had given l1p hone

the matron persuaded the young wo-
man to leave the depot. She offered to
take her to hotel. but the girl told
the matron she had relatives living in
a fashionable district on Troost ave

the night She was still confident that
Wren would come for her.
Inc girl told the depot matron that1
she had become acquainted with Wren
through matrimonial paper and that
she did not want to tell the officers
her name until it became absolutely
necessary because her relatives did not
know of her escapade. She said she
would return to the depot today and

FIGHT ON CIVIL SERVICE.
Law Is Bitterly Attacked by Congress
man Hepburn and Others.

Washington, Dec. s.-The annual fight
on the civil service commission was begun
IN the house during consideration of the
legislative appropriation bill. The opposi-
ton came from Mr.. Bartlett of Georgia
Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa and Mr.. GrosVenor
of Ohio, Mr.. Hepburn moved to strike out
the the entire appropriation for the commits
time denouncing the civil service as not
having improved since the days of the
spoils system, but, on the contrary, as
growing less and less efficient. The dis
cussion brought out some semi humorous
comment on the last presidential election
Il related to the lack of votes for Judge
Parker. Mr.. Williams Of Mississippi and
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio participated in this
feature of the debate
The session lasted five hours and fifteen
minutes The legislative bill was scru-
tIn1zed carefully in consonance with the
presidents recommendation against ex-
travagance. Mr.. Bingham, in charge of
the bill, was required constantly to ex-
plain some particular appropriation. The
pay of the stenographers to the commit
tees of the house was reduced from IS, 900
year to $1,000 on motion of Mr. Scott of
Kansas. and the house refused to accept
the provision increasing the pay of the
secretary to the civil service commission
Only little progress was made on the
bill.

ASK FOR SUFFRAGE.
Women Endeayor to Secure the Right
to Vote in the New States.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The senate COM
mittee on territories is receiving resolu-
tons from organizations of women suf-
fragistS throughout the country protest
ing against the use of the word 'sexs
in that section of the statehood bill re-
lating to the exercise of the right of
suffrage in the proposed new states
This section provides that suffrage
shall not be withheld on any account
other than "illiteracy, minority, sex,
conviction of a felony, mental condition
or of residence" The resolutions set
forth that 'it is outrageous that in the
provisions of this bill women should be
classed with illiterates, felons and
idiots,'' and further that the bill
works an injury, because through it's
provisions women can be denied the
right of suffrage in the new states
The committee on territories will take
up the statehood bill at a meeting next
Saturday. 1t was said today that the
committee would not take any import
ant action on the bill before the Holt

THE ARIZONA CUTOFF.
Work to Begin on Santa Fe Construc-
ton in NOjave Desert Soon.

Tho San Bernardino Times-Index SAYS:
Six months ago when the Times-Index
announced that the Santa Fee was going
to build a cutoff between New Mexico
big grades and the wash out country, the
statement was ridiculed from Chicago to
Los Angeles, not excepting some small
fry railroad authorities in San Bernardo
no, and the positive denial from Big Gun
A G. Wells. Nevertheless this paper
stuck doggedly to the story which 1t knew
ficials were not ready to make their plans
known. From time to time, as progress
in the movement has taken place, the
story has been confirmed and the papers
and railroad men now talk loud of the
cutoff, which six months ago they were
positive would never be built.
Further confrmatio comes in a special
dispatch to the Los Angeles Express from
Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 5.-An doubt that
the Santa Fe means business as to the
new cut off for it's main line is dissipated
by the fact that before tomorrow night a
contract will have been let for the grad
ing and track-Iaying of a 40 mile section
between Congress Junction and the Colo
This section will by no means reach the
river, but it will fill stretch Of the des-
ert gap and start the Santa Fe steel rails
squarely for the Mojave, south of Needles,
where. it is to strike the old line.
In the work to be constructed the out
fits which have been employed on the
Phoenix and Eastern will be utilized. These
will augment the force which has just
completed seven miles of the Arizona and
California, of which the proposed 40 miles
is only an extension with such facilities
as this combination of grading outfits af
fords the new contract will be rapidly
consumma ted.
1t is the intention to push this work
ahead and it is but reasonable to enter
tain the belief that inside of four months
the locomotive will be passing through
the old Cullen's valley.
Surveys have been completed to the Col
orado river by the engineers and one of
the best grades in the southwest has been
established from the cutoff near Congress
Junction. Seven miles of track are today
completed from that point, while the road
bed for a greater distance is ready for
the steel

ATOMS SPLENDID RECORD.
Had No Wrecks and None Injured on
Account of Worlds Fair Traffic.

Account Oh MOrIOS EdIf 1r1AILC.
The Chicago & Alton road had a
unique experience in connection with
its Worlds fair business into and out
of St. Louis. In a period remarkable
for the number and disastrous char
acter of railroad accidents occurring
in all sections of the country it es-
capped scot-free. 1t was the only road
running directly into st. Louis that
escaped accident of any kind; that did
not kill nor injure passenger in any
business.
1t cannot be said that the freedom
from accident on the Alton was due
to the ligh tness of it's traffic, for the
Alton carried into ST. Louis more pas
sengers than any other road. So far
as the returns to date show it
handled into St. Louis during the
period the fair was open 100000 pas
sengers. Into and out of ST. Louis it
handled considerably more than
100000 passengers. Any changes
that subsequent reports will make in
these figures will be to increase rather
than diminish them. The fair was
open 1S5 days, so that the Atoms
daily average for the fair period was
2,270 passengers into St Louis
1t ran twenty-five regular trains
daily into and out of ST Louis in hand
ling this number of people. Many of
these trains were run in two and three
sections, so that it will be we'll within
the mark to say that it's daily average
of trains into and out of st. Louis dur
ing the fair period was twenty-five.
The great majority of these We're
through trains, thereby increasing the
risk incurred in their handling.

Kansas.

DIRECT LINE TO GULF.

A Hutchinson man was recently in
Iowa on business and while there had
a conversation with one of the gen
era1 agents of the passenger depart
ment of the Rock Island road, says
the Hutchinson (Kas.) News. In talk
ing over the railroad situation in Kan
sas, so far as his road was concerned,
the Iowa man said to the man from
Hutchinson that the Rock Island was
contemplating some radical changes in
the Kansas lines during the year. He
said that a line would be constructed
from Belleville, Kas., south through
Beloit and some other towns to Hutch
inson and on to Anthony, where con-
nection would be made with the ChOc-
taw northern division of the Rock Is
land system. He said that this work
would be done this coming year and
that the Idea was to get better con-
nection between the Nebraska and
Colorado lines and the Texas and the
southern divisions This road would
not run direct to Hutchinson from the
north, but would strike the present
line of the Rock Island at Medora
and come in from that station over the
old line. With the Frisco line in con-
necticn there would also be a through
line from the Rock Islands northern
line to Wichita and on to the south
and east over the tracks of the latter
company and those of the Frisco.
This would make one of the most
important connecting l1neS OF this road
that could be built. It would open
a new field for the road in many ways
and would make the service much
quicker between the lines to the north
and those to the south. It would make
direct connection with the Choctaw
division at Anthony and a through
line all the way through Oklahoma,
through Lawton, connecting with the
present Texas line of the Rock Island
at Waurilla, a few miles this side of
the Texas state line.
a connection of this sort, for the
Rock Island, has been needed for a
long time to properly care for the
big business of this system, making
one line of the road thoroughly ac-
quainted with the other. The road
has good lines through Iowa and Ne
braska@ which are not even closely re-
lated with the portion of the system
in this part of the state. The con-
nections are bad, and the service not
the best. To make the road a better
paying proposition it is necessary to
have some sort of connections with
all other portions of the system, and
it will take some building to do this
People will wonder why this has not
been done before, when the same
necessity has existed for a long time.
The fact is, that the coming of the
Panama canal is responsible for these
plans. The Rock Island has a good

NEW BRIDGES AT WINFIELD.
Santa Fe Making improvements in

The Santa Fe commenced building
a new steel bridge across Walnut creek
at Winfield, Kan, Tuesday morning.
The old wooden bridge which is too
light for heavy traffic is being torn
down by R. T. Reynolds and his crew
of men. The material for the new
bridge has been on hand since spring
AS soon as the bridge is finished the
one across the Walnut at Baden's mill
will be replaced by a steel bridge and
the track raised. The grading is al
ready done.

a portion of the wheat district. This
must be connected with the lines to

much in Iowa, and he believes that the

this city from the north and south
