day. The plaintiffs also sought to enjoln
the payment of any moneys under the
traffic agreement objected to and also the
issuance of a series of bonds and notes
secured by a mortgage covering. among
other things, the traffic agreement. The
temporary injunction has been the means
of holding up the completion of the flnan-
cling of the st. Louis, Memphis and South
eastern and refunding of its per cent
collateral trust notes, announced some
time ago by the Frisco. With the disso-
luton of the in junction this financing viii

companies, the bonds being guaranteed by
the Frisco. Another feature of the plan is
the issue of a series of two and a half

WANT MORE TRAINS.
Rock Island Asked to Improve Buck
Iin-DaIhart Service.

Wichita, Kan, June 29.-The Rock
Island railroad will be asked to fur
nish better train and mail service be-
tween Bucklin and Dalhart, Texas.
Clyde NJ. Reed, chief clerk of the rail-
way mail service. has been asked to
take the matter up with the railroad
and he will comply with the request.
Petitions are being received almost
daily at the office of the chief clerk
complaining about the poor train and
mail service between those points. At
this time only one train each way
daily is supplied and both trains are
night trains. What the towns that
have petitioned want is an extension
by the Rock Island of the local pas
senger train that runs from Herring
ton to Bueklili-s They want the Her
ington and Bucklin local passenger
train run through to Dalhart, Texas.
This would give all the towns between
Bucklin and Dalhart a day train and
mail service.
Petitions have been received from
Liberal, Bucklin, Minneola, Optima,
o. T., and Stratford. Texas. Several
hundred names are signed to the pc
titions, including many travelling
statesmen, merchants and ranchmen.

Hutchinson, Kan, June 29.-Chief
Engineer T. G. Elbury of the Gulf,
Hutchinson & Northwestern railroad
and his field force will leave tonight
over the Rock Island for Jennings and
Oberlin, in the northwestern part of the
state. They will start their work there
on Monday and. will make the first sur

Jennings They will arrive in Jen-

To make this trip it is necessary to
go to Mcfarland, just a short way
from Topeka, then north to Belleville
Kan, and on west over the Colorado
lines of the Rock Island to the destina-
ton. It is a long way around to get
to the desired point. This shows con-

Kansas City, June 29.-The Chicago
Rock Island & Pacific railroad has
taken the lead in abolishing the obnox-
ious valuation fee of 81 imposed by the
railroads upon stopover and return

received a telegram yesterday after
noon from L. NJ. Allen, general passen-
ger agent in Chicago, advising him that
the Rock Island had decided to take in
dependent action and abolish the va
lidation fee as far as Rock Island
tickets are concerned.
The matter was formally discussed
at q meeting of the Western Passenger

and Gould rumors were uncommonly
numerous in railroad and financial
circles today. One was that Harri-
man was buying into the Atchison;
another that Hartman is to make the
Chicago & Alton the Chicago outlet
of the Union Pacific system; still an
other that Hartman and Gould were
not in accord in Union Pacific mat
ters and that George J. Gould had al
ready secured most of the right of
way for a new line from Salt Lake to
the Pacific One of the most per-
sistent of these rumors was that, in
consequence of Gould activities, both
in the east and west, the Pennsyl-
vania railroad was buying stock in
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
with which system the Pennsylvania
already has close traffic relations.
There are many Wall street opera
tors who profess to know facts indi-
eating a prospective change in the
control of the Atchison. Negotiations
for the purchase of the large Boston
interests in this property are said to
have been under way for some time.

VERY YOUNG PASSENGER.
Baby Born on a Pullman Car il
Texas.

The San Antonio Express prints the
following:
In the Pullman car coming from
Galveston and attached to the west
bound Southern Pacific train Tuesday
morning, was a little passenger from
whom the conductor did not collect
fare. It was a new born babe that
the storks brought into the car dur
ing the night. When the passengers
awoke, a. little stranger was ia their
midst, and so quiet was its entry into
the world they were afforded a most
delightful surprise.
So far as could be learned here
from the railroad and Pullman Off
Gals, it was the first instance they
knew of where a baby was born in a
Pullman car.
The mother of the child is Mrs.
Miller, a sister-in-law of DR.. Miller Of
San Antonio.

Ship came to Wichita to confer with
those who have taken UP the work
here and was able TO give them much
valuable information and offer sug-

1t was decided to make an effort
to organize permanently and to this
end temporary officers and two com
mittees were appointed, as follows:
Chairman a. Anderson, conductor on
the Missouri Pacific; secretary, Ralph
Robertson, cashier in the Santa Fe

Owing to the disagreeable weather
the attendance at the meeting yester-
day was not large, but all who were
present were impressed that the
proper thing to do would be to or

others eligible to mem bership in such
an organization here in Wichita to
make a strong railroad Y. NJ. c. A,

July. Chicago railroad officials be-
lieve that the promotion to Mr.. Nor
toms post will fall to Mr.. Biddle.
Born in Beloit. Wis. November u,
1856, and receiving his school educa-
ton in that town, he entered the rail-
way service in 1878 as a freight
brakeman on the Santa F'e system.
Who Succeeds BiddIe?
If w B. Biddle is appointed second
vice president of the Santa Fe, sue
ceeding Paul Morton, the way will be
open for a long series of promotions
and new appointments.
The two men who stand next to Mr..
Biddle and are most likely to be APP
pointed to his place are w. A. Bissell,
assistant traffic manager, located at
San Francisco, and J. E. German,
general freight agent, with headquar-
ters at Chicago. German is believed
to have rather the best chance for the
job.
If German goes up, the way is open
for the appointment of a successor to
him. and that successor will prob
ably be chosen from the quartette of
able assistants now in the service of
the general freight department. They

TWO KINDS OF HISTORIANS.

There are roughly speaking, two kinds of histOrians-the historian for the specialist and the historian for the average intelligent human being. The one aims at the increase of knowledge the other at stimulating and enriching perception. As for the first. he ire quently provides the material out of which books should be written rather than the books themselves. He does not give us art, but science, and his science has the greatest value He is apt to lose himself in detail-to spend labOrious pages in proving that, say, one Fele, a Norman physician at the Court of King John, that the not in the rhyme was interpolated and that Fele was universally beloved This sort of student is nowadays too com mon in every domain, whether Of his tory, are criticism or theology. He is useful enough in his own place, but he is apt to forget that Sir ohm Falstaff will live forever, while his own tonnes upon Sir John OldcastIe remain uncut upon the shelf.-London Times.

"RIS LORDSHIP"
Interesting Bill Presented Last Night
 by the Grattan-De Vernon Co.

The Grattan De Vernon Stock com pany was sen last night in the ex- tremely humorous society comedy, His LOrdship." That the audience was highly pleased by the reqdition of the play goes without saying as they laughed and applauded unceasingly. The play itself relates story of in tense heart interest, depicting as it does the domestic relations of civil engineer, George Fame, and his charm ing wife. Beatrice. MT. Zane on ac- count of business is forced to be ab- sent from his wife for several months in the year, and Rafael de Rivola. an Italian count, avails himself of the husbands absence to make love to the wife, with the result that he succeeds in estranging the contiding wife from the husband and would have ac- complished her ruin but for an injury sustained by a child through fall from the balcony of her home. The character of the Hon. Augustus Chol- mondeley, sustained so admirably by MT. Lawrence Grattan, is the one stumbling block in the path of the will Han who, despite his plots and in trigues, is thwarted by his lOrdship and finally led into a duel in which he is ultimately killed by the English lord
  MT. Grattan's humor in this character is artistic and infectious and it is but justice to him to sly that his work is uneXcelled. Miss Vail De Vernon es- saved the part of the .dashing young widow, Mrs. MerryweatheT, in which she not only displayed her talent for artistic dressing but also showed her exquisite art in comedy delineation. Miss Alice Geer was seen to excellent advantage in the role Of Beatrice Fame, the wife of the unhappy civil engineer. Miss Louise Melrose as sally sus- tained her part with her usual clever work. Mir. Lynn Osborn as Rafael de Rivola was seen to excellent advan- tage. MT. J. F. Ferguson, as usual, sustained his reputation as clever ac- tor in the part of Jerry Grady. The portrayal of the character of Geo. Fane, the civil engineer, by Arthur Hill, is one of the best pieces of work in which he has been seen here. Ed Clisbee as Luigi could not be improved upon, as is usual with him. Altogether "EIis LOrdship' gave universal s1tis- faction.
