Robin's Nest on Car Truck.

Various instances have been related of
the odd places which birds choose in
which to build their nests, but, according
to the men on a train which runs between
this city and Blackstone, robin that has
made its home on their train carries off
the palm.
The train in question pulls into Black
stone at l 40 D. m. one day and pulls out
on the following day. Recently it was dis
covered by one of the train hands that a
robin had started to build its nest on one
of the trucks. Naturally, they supposed
that when the train started out the next
day the building operations would come to
an end, and the matter was temporarily
forgotten.
Their surprise was great when a day or
two later they noticed that the bird had
finished the nest, and from that time the
spot was watched with interest. On Fri
day, when the train pulled into the yard
al Blackstone a small blue egg was dis
covered in the nest, and yesterday morning
another egg was found there: The train
men are greatly interested in their I'M
usual passenger, and watch carefully lest
any providing tabby should catch the bird
during the several hours lay roff.-Provi-

KENNA 10 SUCCEED RIPLEY.
RumOrs Are Out Regarding Changes in
Executive STAT of Santa Ee.


1t is reported that Victor Morawetz,
chairman of the executive committee
of the board of directors of the Santa
Fe, intends to go to Europe shortly
for his health.
It is stated that President E. P.
Ripley, of the Santa Fe system, will
succeed Mr.. MoraWetz as chairman of
the executive committee and that a
new president of the system will be
selected.
First Vice President E. D. Kenna is
said to be the man who is slated to
succeed Mr.. Ripley as president 1t
will be remembers that Mr.. kenna
resigned as first vice president recent
ly, and that soon after it was an
nounced that he had decided to remain
with the company in the capacity of
first vice president.
In the mean time Gardiner Lathrop
had been selected to be first vice presi-
dent and general solicitor and when
Mr.. Kenna decided to stay, it was an
nounced that Mr.. Lathrop's title would
be general solicitor.
It is now stated that the plans
formulated at that time were for Mr..
Kenna to remain with the company as
first vice president till the time for tn e
changes to be made when he would
succeed Mr. Ripley, and Mr. LathrOp
would again be given the title of first
vice president and general solicitor.
A recent issue of THE General
Manager says:
Edward Payne Ripley, president of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e rail-
way, the man who has placed that
system on the high road to prosperity,
first saw the light in the historic town
of DorCeste-, in the old commonwealth
of Massachusetts A StalWart son of
worthy sires, big in body and big in
brain, he was, perhaps, the one man
in railway circles physically and men,
tally capable Of successfully accom-
Dhshing the gigantic task set before
him. His career in the transportation
service began in 1868, when in the
first bloom Of young manhood. After
having served the Union Star Line at
Boston as contracting freight agent
he became chief clerk to General
Eastern Agent Bear, of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy, having acted in
that capacity for two years. His next
step upward was to become the New
England agent of that line. Well
earned promotion next made him the
general eastern agent, and in 1878. ten
into railway service, advanced him to
the high and responsible position of
general freight agent of the vast Bur
HngtOn system, and from thence to the
general managership of the same road
was but a natural sequence. In 1890
he left the Burlington to become the
third vice president of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway. which
position he held until, in 1896 he was
elected president of the Santa Fe. He
strong personality, an indefatiRable
worker, somewhat brusque in his man
ner and democratic in his views. he
is the worthy head of a great system
and an example for the rising genera
ton of railway attaches to look up to
to advancement, honor and prosper

HARVEST IS ON.
The Rush to the Kansas Fields
Has Begun.
Many Of the Men Cannot Tell
Wheat From Oats.
IN PATENT LEATHERS
At the Kansas City Depot We're
known as Herefords.
Mostly Routed to Barton and
Kingman Counties.

Kansas City, June 19-The rush of
harvesters to the Kansas fields is on
The first party left Kansas City yester-
day. Three hundred and eighty-one
started for the wheat fields. OF this
number, % came from St. Joseph
It was a peculiar crowd that left Kan
sas City last night. Most of the men
were evidently farmers, but here and
there were some who probably could not
tell a shock of wheat from bundle of
alfalfa. Patent leather shoes, Panama
hats, mohair shirts and silk neckties
distinguished them from those who had
worked before beneath hot summer
suns. As these men went back and
forth in the crowd they were given the
title of 'HerefOrds,' because of their
White faces.
One crowd of 12S went to Great Bend
on the Santa Fe at 1870 o'clock. Forty
six went to Pratt on the Rock Island at
IL o'clock. The Missouri Pacific took %
to Kingman. 90 to Great Bend, s to
Stockton, 81 to HoisingtOn. The ST Jo-
seph & Grand Island brought in the %
from St Joseph and the Rock Island
took them west. These men said they
had paid 80 cents each for their jobs,
the money going to an employment
agency not connected with the state free
employment bureau. All the men from
Kansas City were sent by A. B. Jami
son, superintendent of the state free
employment bureau here.
Il expect to make regular shipments
from now on Mr.. Jamison said last
night. The wheat has ripened rapidly
in the extreme heat of the past few
days and I believe can handle all the
men who apply at my Office"

Speed of a Prairie Chicken.

That a prairie chicken flies with sunni
cient speed to propel itself through heavy
plate glass was proved by recent Incl
dent at the little town Of Wolsey. Beadle
county.
Prof. Shepard of the village school, in
the discharge of his duty, rang the school
that had taken refuge in the school house
tower from storm were frightened from
their place Of refuge. They flew as
straight and swift as an arrow for the
plate glass front of a business house. The
glass was fve-eighths of an inch in thick
ness, but one of the prairie chickens went
straight through it as though it were pa
per, and dropped dead on the floor inside
the building at distance of about 20 feet
vent through the plate glass with suffi-
cient force to cut hole SIX inches in di-
ameter in the heavy glass.-MinneapoIi

sufficient to say whether the striking

Chicago and New York are circulated,
in which it is said that James German,
freight traffic manager of the Santa Fe
since w. B. Biddle went to the Rock

placed at the head of the company
which is to build the new subway for
the Metropolitan Traction company,
which place Paul Morton accepted and
afterWard abandoned to take his place
at the head Of the Equitable Insurance
company.
During the time they were both on

ment was made that Morton would head
the Equitable, Mr.. German received a
