SANTA FE AGAIN
HAS STRUCK OIL.

An oil gusher was struck by the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway
company twenty miles northwest Of
Ardmore, l. T. The strike was made
at a depth of nine hundred feet. The
oil shot n hundred feet in the air
and it took many hours of hard work
to get it under control. The Santa
Fe owns thirty-six hundred acres of
land in the oil field and this is the
first big strike, although it has been
drilling for months. The products of
the fields will be piped to Ardmore.

RICH MAN WHO WILL
ALWAYS PAY HIS WAY.

Reginald c. Vanderbilt, a member
Of the family that owns thousands of
miles of railroads, has one peculiar
hobby, that of paying his way on all
railroads, even including the New
York Central lines, in which he is so
much interested. Mr.. Vanderbilt could
have his private car carried free by
any road in the country upon merely
requesting such a courtesy from the
general manager.
At present, Mr.. Vanderbilt is in
Louisville. where he has some horses
on exhibition. His secretary, G. j.
Ross, has been arranging for the
transportation of the private car. Mr..
Vanderbilt hired this car from the
Pullman company, paying for it $50
a day. He also pays for eighteen
first class fares to every road owe
which he travels with his car, and
will not accept it's free transportation
though it has been offered him.

Report That Hill May Get Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas.
Would Give Great Northern an
Outlet to Gulf.
STANDARD OIL ROAD.
But Octopus Has Little Use for
It Now Because of Pipe Lines.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.
OIL ROAD.

Reports from New York are to the
effect that there is talk in railroad cir
cles there that the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroad is to be absorbed by the
J. J. Hill combination of the Northern
Pacific and Burlington. 1t is to be
made a Hill outlet to the Gulf, connect
ing at Kansas City and St. Louis, with
another connection at Hannibal, to be
utilized in freight calculations, thus
avoiding Kansas City at ST. Louis en-
tanglements.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas is
known as a distinctively Standard Oil
road. For long years it has been used
in securing oil rates to the southwest.
The development of oil in the southwest,
followed by pipe lines, removes in part
the service. of the road to the Standard.
In addition the holdings of the Standard
in other western roads are such as to
reduce the necessity for entire control
of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas.
In the face of these changed condi-
lions the belief is entertained that the
Standard in its business has less use
for its line to the southwest than for
merly. Then the merger would be valu-
able to the Hill combination. While the
Northern Pacific and Burlington mer-
GER was pulverized IN vaudeville style,
the merger exists. The Missouri,
Kansas & Texas is to be another merger.
It will place more business on the rails
of the Missouri, Kansas &. Texas, thus
increasing the earnings and value OF
the property. In recognition Of this
opinion Missouri, Kansas & Texas stock
has been advancing slightly, indicating
that some one is aware of calculations
There has long been a close working
ARRANGEMENT between the old Burilng-
ton and the Missouri Kansas & Texas.
At points where cloth reach they usual
" have offices in the same building or
in the same quarters. At terminals they
have been delivering freight to each
other. All other roads have usually
been cut out Of all business either one
could throw to the other.

expected that many additional cara
viii be ordered between now and the
time when the colonists rates expire,
The use of these additional cars will
mean that the road will have to run
one or more extra sections to many
of the trains. The regular compile
this road running from Kansas City
to the southwest is seven day, max
ing fOrty-nine regular tourist cars for
the next seven days. When the fifty
extra cars are added to these regular
ones some idea can be gained of the
proportions of the colonist travel All
of these cars contain sixteen sections
and an average of three persons to a
section is a conservative estimate This
would make say fifty persons to car
and with the one hundred and three
cars that it is now known will be used,
a total of over five thousand persons
will be carried to the southwest this
week by the Santa Fe alone.

SHOT AT MOUSE, LOST FINGER.
Thrilling Experience of a Woman Ope-
rator on the Santa Fe.

AS a protection against burglars
and other marauders the telegraph
operators at the smaller stations along
the lines of the Santa Fe and the 9TH
er railroads as well, are provided with
revolvers, and some of the real timid
ones, who hold down the night shift
and are all alone in the stations late
at night, have the TevOlvers at hand
on the telegraph table. There are a
number of women employed as night
operators by the Santa F'e at stations
in Kansas and most of them, as well
as the men, have a revolver handy.
Mrs. George Talley, of Ottawa is
the night telegraph operator at Rich
ter, a small station on the Emporia
cutoff. She always has a trusty re-
Volver near her and the other night, a
few minutes before midnight, she
glanced backwards on the floor, think
ing she had heard a slight noise at the
door. Moving across the floor was a
shadow and Mrs. Talley was satisfied
that some one was stealing in the
room. She grabbed up the revolver,
faced around and was about to say,
stand" when she saw that the
shadow was that of a little mouse. He
was a burglar all right for he evident
ly had designs on Mrs. Talley'S lunch
bucket, but he was not the kind of
burglar Mrs. Talley was expecting.
Instead of yelling "Stand" she sim
ply screamed and jumped up on the
telegraph table. 1t is not often that
woman will tackle mouse with any
kind of a weapon but then it is not
often that a woman has revolver in
her hand when mouse appears.
When Mrs. Talley got through
screaming she thought it would be
good practice for possible burglars of
the future to shoot at the mouse and
she shot. It was a disastrous effort,
for the bullet in some way took off the
tip of the little finger on her left hand,
while the mouse scampered off with a
smile on its face.
Mrs. Talley secured medical help
and some one relieved her in the Of
fee and she is now in Ottawa waiting
for her finger to heal up.

HEATING OF FREIGHT CARS.
Suggestion That Steam Be Used for
Perishable Stuff.

EeElSDaDiS SUN.
Within the past ten years the traffic
by rail in perishable freight in the
United States has more than doubled,
and although it has assumed vast pro-
portions, it is possible to make a ma
terial increase in the business if ship
ments are properly protected in winter,
says the Railway Age. In addition to
carried in refrigerator cars there is a
large business in fish, fruits, vegetables
and dairy products Of a class subject to
damage if exposed to severe cold. In
summer these cars are maintained at
the proper temperature by the con-
sumption of large quantities of ice.
The amount used on some lines in the
middle west averages $50 tons per car
per season, at a cost of over $3.50. In
winter time the perishable freight, like
fruits and vegetables, does not receive
an equivalent protection, and the loss
due to damaged fruits often amounts to
over $500 per car on one shipment
and the total loss per year on some
roads on account of frozen fruit runs
from $685. 600 to $30,000sper annum.
Stoves can not be regarded as sue
ceSSful method of protecting periShable
freight in transit and the large volume
and importance of the traffic requires
something better. Continuous steam
heating for passenger cars has been so
well developed that it has naturally
been suggested as the best one for

validity OF the order This new order
is one Of the NEST far reaching made
by the commission and it establishes a

Mr.. StilWell may show them some Of
the possibilities to be developed by the
completion of the railway.
These men are from all parts of the

men who are looking for just such
openings as Mr.. Stilwell is able to
show them. The party will leave Kan
sas City over the M. X. & T., and go

which is completed east and west of

A QUESTION OF COST.

In any number of stores
you'll see various prepare
tons of cod liver oil at as

wonder, perhaps, why SCOTS

side of the question you may
be led into buying the "just
as good as SCOTS " at the
lower price. That's false
economy. SCOTS Emulsion
