Obituary..

Mrs. Matte A. England passed peace
fully away at Sparksville, Monday,
April 3rd, 1905, at one o'clock after a
short illness. She had been a sufferer
from kidney trouble for some time, and
it was the cause of her death. All that
loving hands and medical science could
do was done, but to no avail. Five of
the best physicians in the county at
tended her. Drs. Grady and Grissom,
of Columbia; DR.. Nell, of Gradyville;
DR.. Simpson, of Elroy, and DR.. Tay-
lor; of Bridgeport. But her case was
hopeless and she grew gradually worse
until they end came.
s5The deceased was one of the best
kown women at that place-because of
her loving kindness and sweet Christian
life.
When the pail of death hung over her
dear head and her suffering seemed al
most too great to bear, she put her
trust in God. She walked with God
and he drew her closer to him every
day, and as the shadows of the evening
Of life fell about her, she grew stronger
and more buoyant in her faithfulness,
for she knew she would soon see Him.
Her influence was felt wherever she
went. Though her gentle spirit has
assembled to Him who said, Blessed are
the pure in heart for they shall see
God" Her sweet influence fingers
with us still and leads us on to better
things. She was an earnest member
of the Methodist church and will be
greatly missed from the community.

says more than twenty million of

Mr.. kenna has no retired from the
service OF the company as has been
reported. He only has resigned the
office OF general solicitor, to which
Mr.. Lathrop has been appointed, and
he did that only because his private
business requires attention that he
otherwise could not give. He will
continue to discharge the duties of
first vice president and will be in close
touch with the railway and the ter
ritory it traverses as before.
1T is intended" Mr.. Kenna said to
the correspondent of the Star, that
the proceeds of the entire loan of so
million dollars recently authorized
shall, for the present, be devoted to
the betterment of existing lines and
the construction of new ones. For
this year about ten million dollars has
been set aside for Improvements and
five millions for the purchase of new
engines and cars, and six millions for
new construction.
New Trackage in Kansas.
1T is proposed to construct 153
miles OF new tracks, most of which
will be in Kansas, and to ballast at
least $50 miles of road now in use.
Among the important betterments the
company has planned Is the crossing
of the Canadian river on the Southern
Kansas & Texas, which will include,
besides a new bridge, the abandon
ment of ten miles of road now in use.
We also will straighten the track in
several places and reduce grades on

Of the total cost. To estimate: Near

pany for labor. The wages will range
from $1.15 to 1915 a day, and prob
ably average at least 81. Making the
usual allowance for Sundays holidays
and idleness, the work under way

4 Tho company Nh Konna sald

OF the company Nh Kouna said
Neither the Union Pacific railroad
company nor the Southern Pacific
company owns a share OF Atchison
stock, Some OF The very rich men who
control the Union Pacific railroad
company, namely, MIR, William Rookie.
feller, Mr.. H. II, Rogers, Mr.. T.. H..
Hartman, Mr. James Stlllman, and n
few others, during the financial de-,
preston about a year ago. bought
large amounts of the stock of several
OF the principal railway companies IN
the United States, including the Atch.
lson, Topeka a Santa Fe railway com.
pany. They thus became the holders
in the aggregate Of about one.fourth
million shares of common stock Of The
Atchison company.
How Standard Got In.
Not long before the last annual
meeting they expressed a desire to
have some representation upon the
board Of directors on account OF their
large holdings Of stock. The subject
was considered by the Atchison man.
agement and 1t was decided that no
representation could or would be vol.
unfairly given to these gentlemen II
they were acting in the Union Pacific
or Southern Pacific interest and that
no officer of the Union Pacific or the
Southern Pacific company would be
acceptable as a member Of the Atch.
ison board Of directors.
These gentlemen stated that their
interests in Atchison were substantial.
ly as large as their interests In Union
Pacific and that they did not ask for
representation as representing Union
Pacific interests or Southern Pacific
interests. but solely on account o!
their own large investments in the
AtchisOn company.
After protracted negotiations II
was agreed mat two places upon the
board, which consists of fifteen direc
tors, should be given to the holders
of this stock, and Mr.. II. II. Rogers
and Mr.. Henry c. Frick were elected
with the distinct understanding thai
they were not elected as representing
any railroad interests, but merely the
individual holdings of themselves and
their associates.
No Control OF Atchison.
The Atchison board Is divided into
-four classes of directors, of which
four are elected each year to hold OF
flee for four years. 1t is obvious
therefore, that control of the Atchisor
board cannot be acquired except b!
the purchase Of a majority Of the en-
tire capital stock. and then only at tn
expiration of a number of years. A
the gentlemen above named hav,
large influence in financial circles
