ACTIVITY OF ROCK ISLAND.
Change of Management Seems to Indi-
cate Rockefeller Support.

The sudden activity and advance in
the price OF Rock Island shares is ac-
counted for by the fact that former
Judge Moore and his associates have
again taken up the plan for a general
financial reorganization of the entire
system, says the Ne wYork Post.
Since the election of Robert Mather
as the executive head of the Rock Is
land, all of the leading stockholders
of the old Rock Island road, the ST
Louis & San Francisco, and the Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois have been
summoned to the main offices in this
city for consultation regarding the
future financial policy of the CONSOLE
dated system.
There is a we'll grounded belief that
through the medium of B. F. Yoakum
and H. H. Rogers the Moore syndicate
has formed an utilization with the

Wall street men for some time that
the Rock Island crowd is now indie

to have knowledge of the intentions
of the Messrs. Moore, Leeds and Reid
say that two separate bond plans are
to be put into execution, one for the

other for the st. Louis & San Fran

What More Can People ASK For?

When oId-time residents and highly
respected people of Topeka make such
statements as the following, it must
carry conviction to every reader:
o. Halterman, of No. 233 Madison

along in years. When employed at
the Thompson Hardware Co.'S 1 was
compelled to give up my position on
account of my health failing. A dull
aching existed over my kidneys, ac-
companied with a weakness of the
bladder, so bad that the secretions
from the kidneys were not under con-
troll and my rest was greatly disturbed
nights. I saw Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised and procured them at
RowIey & Shows drug store, corner
of Sixth street and Kansas avenue.

That VIII Be keynote of the Rock
Island-F'risco Moves Hereafter.

President Davidson of the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois railway denies
that his road is to be divorced from
the larger system, the Frisco railroad.
Hammond of the Frisco will be locat-
ed at Chicago and will have absolute
authority to act in emergencies Ihe
Frisco system will be operated as lines
east of the Mississippi river and lines
west of the river. Separate manage
ment will be in charge of the affairs
of the Frisco and of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois.
This plan of operation for the FRS
CO road is similar to the plan which
was in vogue on the Rock Island be-
fore the Rock Island-Frisco merger,
and the indications are that the same
lines will be followed on the Rock
Island. The moves on the Rock ISL
and have not yet been made inaSmuch
as the Frisco system has been under
going a reorganization before the
Rock Island. Railway men look for
a division of the Rock Island at the
Missouri river when the new policy
is publicly outlined, the lines to be OPP
Grated as lines east and west of the
Missouri river.
Vice President Hammond of the
Frisco who has gone to Chicago to
have charge of the Chicago and East

HARRIMAN'S REVENGE.
Diyerts Business From Alton to Give
to St. Paul Under New Alliance.


In the recent deal whereby the per-
Sonally conducted tours to California
| by the Judson company, were trans
ferred to the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul from the Chicago & Alton for
| that portion of the trip which lies be-
| tween Chicago and Kansas City, rail-
way men see a direct slap in the face
for the interests friendly to the Rock
Island who butted into the Chicago &
Alton in an effort to secure control of
stock and unload upon E. H. Hartman
of the Union Pacific at a fancy price.
Since the Rock Island interests gain
ed control of the Alton railway COM
pany which is the operating company
and which should not be confused with
the railroad" company which owns
the road, it seems that Hartman has
made a traffic alliance with the Chi
cagO, Milwaukee & st. Paul. and here
after the Union Pacific will exchange
business with that road at Kansas City
instead of with the Alton.
In the recent election of directors to
the Union Pacific at Salt Lake the ad-
vent of Prick and Rockefeller into the
board was regarded as a move looking
to the control of the Union Pacific by
the Stanadrd Oil interests
1t is now seen that this belief was a
mistake and that it was but the con-
summation of the plans for a closer
traffic alliance between the Union Pa
cific and the st. Paul and the new di-
rectors were elected to the Union Pa
cific for the purpose of giving the St
Paul representation in the Union Pa
cific board.
The JudsOn tours mean annually an
income of 100000 which has here
tofore been enjoyed by the Alton. 1t
will mean a big loss to that road. 1t
is believed that Hartman was able to
control this business. and has turned 1t
over to the St. Paul simply to revenge
himself upon the Hawley-Gates crowd
which began buying Union Pacific rail-
way stock when he wanted 1T.
Hartman already owns the stock of
the Alton railroad" company which
leases to the railway company. The
railway company of course has con-
troll of the road but has to pay as
rental a sum which makes per cent
on the preferred and 6 per cent on the
common stock of the railroad COM
pany owned by Hartman So Harri-
man was not particular about owning
the stock of the controlling company
unless he could secure it at a nominal
price. He is getting his earnings from
the Alton before the operating COM
pany get theirs.
The Judson company is the pioneer
organization in the personally con-
Quoted tourist excursion business, and
was created more than twenty years
ago by officials of the Alton railroad.
It is stated that between 10000 and
$4,000 people annually travel under
the supervision of this organization.
The business is routed west of the Mis-
souri, river over the Missouri Pacific,
