a member of the association becomes
sick he receives a benefit of IS a week,
and if he is compelled to go to the
hospital, which many of them do, the
SIS weekly indemnity goes to the sick

vision will also be made whereby
member can borrow money from the
treasury of the association, paying
therefor a small rate of interest. Such
organizations have been of great bene-
fit in the shops at other points on the
Missouri Pacific and other railroads,
and the gentlemen who are at the head
of the movement at the shops in Fort

be a popular feature of the protection
offered to railroad men before many

OPEN TO PASSENGER TRAFFIC.
The Completion of the Ogden-Lucin
Cutoff in Great Salt Lake.

Salt Lake City, Sept 19.-Without
ceremonies of any kind the great
Ogden-Lucin cutoff of the Hartman
system, running across the northern
arm of Great Salt Lake, was opened
for passenger traffic today. 1t has
been in use for some time for part of
the overland freight traffic, but it was
made an actual part of the overland
system today, and henceforth all trains
will be run over the tracks of the cut
off, which stretches for miles in a
straight line over piling and filling
through the waters of Great Salt Lake.
When the new time schedules con-
templated for the overland traffic are
put into effect, an actual lessening of
more than two hours running tome be-
tween Chicago and San Francisco viii
be shown, besides cutting out of the
operating expenses forty-three miles of
the most difficult and costly railroad
ing in the country, the trackage over
Promontory hill on the north shore OF
Great Salt Lake. The elimination of
this part of the system from overland
traffic will, it is estimated. save about
$1,000 day in operating expenses.

Bonner Swings. Sept. 19.-An effort
is being made by the school board here
10 separate the whites and the negroes
in the public schools. When school OPP
ened the negroes were told that separ-
ate rooms had been set aside for them
and that negro teachers had been en-
ployed to instruct them. Two rooms
on the first floor were set aside for the
lis negro pupils. The white children
were placed in the second floor rooms.
The negroes refused to submit to the
proposition and all the negro pupils
went home. A meeting of the negroes
was held and it was decided to contest
the right of the school board to main
tain separate schools. The school board
consulted the county authorities and
was told that there was no law i'm
Kansas authorizing the establishment
of separate schools, except in cities Of
the first class.
The school board has been authorized
by the voters in the district to issue
bonds for the erection of a separate
school In case the negroes refuse to
occupy the separate school and insist
children. they will be protected by the
Kansas laws. There are only three
members of the school board, ]. d.

declare they will follow out the plan
of establishing the separate schools
and Will offer the negroes equal fac1h-
ties with the whites.

FOR SICK MEMBERS.
Missouri Pacific Shop Preparing for
Relief Fund.

Fort Scott, Kan, Sept. 19.-The BOYS
at the Missouri Pacific shops have ia
ken the initial steps toward the organ
ization of Mutual Protective associa-
tion, to be composd of the employers
in the mechanical departments of the
shops. The organization is looked upon
by many of the men as a necessity,
while there are a few who are not yet
favorably impressed with the idea. 1t
is believed, however, that after its
plans and benefits have been studied
and thoroughly understood that all, or
nearly all, will become members.
For years the shop boys have been
liberal contributors to the sick, and
every month after pay day one or
more subscription papers are circulated
among the different departments and
literally subscribed to for one or more
of the employees who are sick and unable
to work. The object of the protective
association is to provide a sick benefit.
The protective plan is for each man to
pay an initiation fee of rs cents and
% cents month dues thereafter. If

WATER sOFTENING STATIONS.
Santa Fe Planning to Install Several
Plants in the West.

Albuquerque, N. M. Sept. 19.-Gen-
eral Manager A. Barman of the Santa
Fe water department, was in Albu-
querque this morning on his way to
Needles to look after the erection
there of a water softeniRg plant, which
is to be installed by the company at
heavy expense, for the purpose of
freeing the water used in their en-
gines of the lime and other ingredients
which are. injurious to engine boilers.
The road has suffered extensively from
the hard water at Needles and other
desert points, which soon wears out
the best and newest boilers. and which
has been largely responsible for
dead" engines. This process is not a
new discovery but an old one invented
in Germany, and for the first time put
into use to soften water for locomotive
engines. Plants will also be built at
Seligman and other points, and it is
said that a large one will be erected at
Albuquerque.

CALLS COMMERCE. CONGRESS.
Gathering of Commercial Bodies Look
ing to Changes in Law.

st. Louis, Sept. ia call for the
convention of the interstate commerce
law congress to be held in this city Oc-
tober % has been issued by e. P. Ba-
con, chairman of the executive com
mittee, to commercial, mercantile,
manufacturing and agricultural organ
izations throughout the United States.

wise measures to secure the enactment
of legisla ton at the next session of
congress to give greater effectiveness
to the interstate commerce act.
Organizations of less than $50 will be
entitled to one delegate, while larger
organizations will be allowed one dele
gate for every $50 members. 1t was

ton during September, but this was
found impracticable. with the result
that the session was deferred for one
month. It is believed by those inter
ested in the movement that speedy and
effective action in regard to the inter-
state commerce act can be secured
through q congress Of commercial or
CARNATIONS. All the large cities
throughout the country will be repre-
scented at this convention.

THIBET IS BRITISH,
Russian Paper Calls 1t Case of Wolf
and Lamb.

St Petersburg, Sept. 19.-The Russian
press, discussing the Thibetan treaty with
Great Britain. unites in agreeing that the
latter country has succeeded in establis h
ing virtual protectorate over Thibet.
The Sveit terms the treaty a repetition
of the fable of the wolf and the lamb and
expr esses the belief that the success OF
the expedition will shake Russian pres
tige among the Buddhist subjects of Rus
STA.
The Bourse Gazette thinks Great Bri-
tain has succeeded beyond her widest
dreams, but conceals a yelled threat I'M
der the inquiry whether the success can
be lasting AS soon as Russia S hands
are free the Gazette predicts that it is
more than likely that the middle east
question will become another apple of
discord.
The Novosti on the other hand, con-
tends that British and Russian interests
in Asia are identical and opposes the idea
that the treaty will become a bone Of
contention. especially as it was concluded
with the knowledge and consent of Rus
STA.
