a warm supper and proceeded to see
the sights. Kansas city is a place of
business and dirt. We left at $3.50,
and couldn't get a sleeper, so we had
to do the best we could. fixed Iva
and the baby as comfortable as I
could, and, Of course, l got along all
right. The only thing that bothers Iva
is the lightning. The track was awful
ly bad, and we spent a restless night.
This is Southeastern Kansas; W.
are passing through the corn belt.
Nothing but corn, and about every two
rods there is a negro hut. Iva thinks
there is two to one of negroes. There
is one thing I always remembered, we
noticed a little hut, similar to an old
chicken coop, not one bit better, and
on the sign we read, "Dr. Cockerell,
Colored Physician and Surgeon" The
train was away behind time on ac-
count Of washouts, and it was $3.50 be-
fore we got to Mukagee, l. T., for
breakfast. After leaving there we got
entirely out of the corn country, into
a place where everything was cotton.
Crossing Red, river we go carefully,
for it is over its bank. We are in
Texas now, and it would surprise you
stay on the train for a few days. Only
yesterday the fields were all green
corn. only two to five feet nigh. and
down here threshing is all done, and
corr is in roasting ears.
We got to Fort Worth at 6 o'clock,
and the train that we were to taRe
was late. so we didn't get out until
after 10 O'Clock, and just as we were
pulling out a switch engine ran into
the rear end of our train, and broke a
g ass door right in front of us, and
a small piece of glass few into my
eye, and almost scared me to death,
but we got it out in about an hour.
Everything is very little changed, ex-
cept every n has grown out of my
memory. Friday Grin and l went TO
the ranch, 20 miles from here, and
fixed the pump. There we caught
some saddle horses and went for an
antelope hunt. We rode all afternoon,
some 25 miles. to our other ranch. We
got a shot at two different punches,
but no meat. We caught a little wolf
about as big against a dog, tied his
mouth so he couldn't bite us, and car
ried him six or eight miles to the
camp. but he got away during the
night. Then we went back to the 9TH
err ranch. Monday WI rested all day.
Tuesday we hitched up and went to
the roping match, 20 miles away. We
got there in time to see n roped.
Brother John entered and made the
time of 33 seconds, and, after all his
fast work, the steer got up just as the
Judges were going to turn her loose.
The best time was AZ seconds. We
we're so disappointed at not seeing
him, and more so at his not taking a
little more time, and taking the money.
Some one said there was over $1,000
bet on him taking the purse against
20 other contestants. We rested

est brother came home all skinned up
from being in a runaway.

the cattle country.
Cakeville must have been a great
wool district, for there was enough
wool to FIJI the state house two or
three times. It was piled up by the
railroad track, waiting shipping or.
ders. There are lots of oil wells
here, too was just standing on the
back of the train and saw three ante
lope. This is a prairie dog town, and
a big one.
We have just passed a train of 70
cars, and only one engine, as big as
three of the S. P. engines.
The passenger engines have eight
foot drive wheels, and are rated at
ITO miles an hour. We are on the
summit of Sherman Hill, 5000 feet
above sea level and running % miles
an hour; are passing through a big
stock ranch all thoroughbred cattle.
We are in Colorado now. Denver is
a pretty city, and ! took a little walk.
The stores all close at 1 o'clock on
Saturdays. Iva bought a little souv-
enir there, and then we went back and
ate fruit and went to. bed. We hadn't
hardly got to sleep when there came
quite a shower, such a thunder storm,

this is certainly a wheat country, for
you can look for miles and see nothing

and here is a salt refinery with a pile

now see lots of lightning rods. After
leaving Fort Riley we run down the

Warren Baxter Ever Will
Be Congratulated by a
Host of Friends.

Warren Baxter Ever Of Piedmont
will be congratulated by a host of
friends for having reached the nine
tieth anniversary of a happy life. Mr..
Ever was one OF the first TO migrate
across the plains, and he arrived in
California in the early part Of 1S49.
Since that time he has been closely
connected with the development of the
Pacific Coast He was born in Ded-
ham, Mass, where in his early youth
he chose for his life's business journal
ism. It was not long until he was one
Of the foremost journalists OF the East,
and he has always given the benefit of
his experience to younger men Of the
profession.
Mr.. Ever discovered and brought
to the front the Hon. Henry Wilson,
the "Natick Cobbler" of Presidential
fame, and It was through Ewer's in
sight and persistence that the peerless
oratory of John B. Cough was devel-
oped.
Mr.. Ever was later connected with
the Scientific Mining Journal, and 1t
was through his energy and able edi-
torship that that sheet has grown to
be the standard of authority on min
ing matters.

CHAPMAN's STATEMENT.

Apparently an entirely different view
Is entertained by the United Railroads.
Last night General Manager Chapman
issued the following statement, which
varies with the facts stated by the
members Of the executive committee of
the Garments Union:
The contract now in process Of submission
20 the union. and practically agreed upon by
the conference committee, is identical with
fhe cornnsny-s rroDossl 10 the men with two
exceptions. u includes a new section (3s),
which reads a. follows:
NO empioye shall be discharged or dis
criminsted against by an officer OF official
q the company because OF membership. in
Where any ernploye has been. in the opin-
iou Of the union. discharged or Disseminated
against on account of union affiliations lun-
lustlyl HIS case shall first be taken up with
Mr. Hihbs or his successor. and in case Of
failure 10 reach adjustment the case may
ie appealed by the union 10 the general man
aEer tand-or) At tho unions option. to a
subcommittee or the board Of directors. con-
siEting Of Messrs. Holbrook and Tobin, who
VIII consider tho same and render de-
cision upon written testimony presented By
each party.
-In case Of the absence or illness OF one. or
both. the vacancy shall be filled by appoint
ment OF the board OF directors OF the COM
pany"
This section was adopted to meet the ideas
of the union in regard 10 dsmissaIs. The
other change is the elimination OF section 3
of the old contract which reads as follows
should the general manager or other eNecu-
tive officer Of the company in passing on
an ny difference that may arise under this agree
n,cnt and brought before him by the accred<<Fr
oafcers u the union decide adversely to them
"a appeal shall lie the part Of the union
10 the president or vice president and from
them a. the board OF directors Of the company
The president or vice president shall hear
and pass upon appeals al least once a month.
The time Tor said hearings shall IN every case
prcoede the regular meetings OF the board Of
directors least week; and at each OF
said hearings ali appeals made TO the presi-
dent OF vice president prior thereto shall be
determined that any appeal therefrom may
be considered At the next succeeding meeting
Of the board OF directors" J."
In other respects the result Is in fun ac-
cord with the cor1pany's proposal with whicf
the public IS already familiar AS has been
already stated in the companys proposal the
scale rendered By n will operate 70 increase
the nav of q sjority OF the men, some i'm
rnsdlstely and others IN the near future.
