BROTHER GARDNER.
He Makes a Speech and Recognizes
the Lime Kiln Club.
(By NJ. Quad.)


1t was known to the first members
who arrived at Paradise hall for the
regular Saturday night meeting that
something unusual was afoot, and the
news spread as other members con-
tinued to arrive, but nothing definite
could be learned until the meeting
opened.
The rumor that Brother Gardner
was dying and that Brother Jones
was planning to seize the reins of gov
eminent was the last one started, but
that was set at rest by the appearance
of the president III person and SEEM
ingly in the best of health. He ap-
peared to have something on his mind,
however, and when he wrapped his
Roman toga around him and stood up
in his place to speak all eyes were
turned upon him and the hall grew as
quiet as death.

THEY ARE SATISFIED.
Firemen Say They Have No Grievance
Against Santa Fe.

Thomas Burke chairman, and the
other eighteen members of the joint
protective board of the f1remen en-
ployed on the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe system proper. the line be-
tween Chicago and FL Paso, continued
today their conference begun yester-
day afternoon with James z. Hurley
general manager of the company. F.
c.. Fox, general superintendent, Alfred
LOveu. of Chicago, the superintendent
of motive power F. n. Risteen. of
Topeka, mechanical superintendent of
the eastern grand division, and c. NJ
Taylor, of La Junta mechanical suuer-
intendent OF the western grand di-
vision. This conference is being held
in the Office of General Manager Hur~
ley and it is probable that it win be
concluded late this afternoon.
Its purpose is to adjust all the
grievances that may have developed
on the part of the firemen against the
company during the last year and it
is stated that such grievances as are
up for consideration are of minor i'm
portance.
The members of the Joint protective
board have been in session for their
annual meeting here for a number of
days The bylaws of the organization
compel them TO be in session for a
certain number of days each year for
the purpose of receiving any griev-
ances that the firemen NAV have
against the company. These griev-
ances are considered by the board and
are then taken UP with the officers of
the company.
Thomas Burke. the chairman Of the
board. is authority for the statement
that the firemen have no grievance Of
a general character against the com
pany and that the relations between
tho hremen and the company are
pleasant. A number of grievances of

USE THE ALTON LINES.
Rock Island to Send Limited by a
Shorter Way.

Announcement Is made by the Of
ficials of the Chicago. Rock Island &
Pacific railway that an agreement has
been entered into between that road
and the Chicago & Alton, whereby the
former will use the tracks of the latter
between Joliet, III, and Kansas City
for the Golden State limited, the star
Rock Island train between Chicago and
California.
This is done because the Alton line
between Joliet and Kansas City is
thirty miles shorter than the Rock Is
land line and this is a figure when it
comes to making time with fast train.
Another reason is that in other years
the Golden State limited has been de-
layed time and time again by local
trains on the Rock Island line between
these points and this delay viii be done
away with in the future. The Rock
Island company, it is said, owns about
sixty-five per cent of the stock of the
Chicago & Alton so that the road Will
actually be using its own tracks, but
an agreement was necessary because
the Alton is run as a corporation dis
tinct in every particular from the Rock
Island.
The Golden State limited began its
winter schedule on Sunday last and its
running time this year is about an hour
less than it was last year and some of
this hour can be made up through the
use of a shorter route to Kansas City,
but the fast train viii not use this
route until November 26 when the
regular winter time schedule of the
road for all trains will go into effect.
A peculiar situation win be developed
through this agreement between the
Rock Island and the Alton. The tracks
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Ee
parallel those of the Alton Between
Joliet and Coal City, a distance of thir-
ty miles, and for some time there has
been an agreement between the Santa
F'e and the Alton whereby they used
each others tracks between these
points, so when the Golden state gets
to running over the Alton tracks, the
Rock Island and the Santa F'e the two
great rivals of the west, will be using
the same tracks for a part of the way
and the use of these tracks by the Rock
Island is to enable it to run the Golden
State to California in just about the
same time as is made by the California
limited of the Santa F'e- Both trains
have q schedule now which takes them
from Chicago to Los Angeles in frac-
ton over sixty-seven hours
