AUGUST CRoNENBURG DEAD.
Worked on Santa Fe System Many
Years, Ten of Them in Topeka.


Years, Ten of Them in Topeka.
Word has been received of the death
of August Cronenberg at the State Sol
diers' home at Fort Dodge, and who has
been an inmate of the home for about
three years.
Mr.. Cronenberg was well known
among the railroad men of the Santa Fe
system for many years and during his
service with the company he worked for
many years here in Topeka. His first
employment was on the Ration division
as an engineer. with headquarters at
Ration. n. NJ. After having been run
ming an engine on that division for d
number of years he lost his right arm
in a collision on Ration mountain where
his engine and all the cars on the train
were derailed and piled up and were a
total loss. When the wreck occurred he
was caught under his engine. and his
right arm was crushed so that it was
necessary to amputate it at the Shout
der
After recovering from his injuries he
was appointed 10 the position of round
house foreman at Ration, n. M. where
he remained for several years and was
afterward transferred to the position of
tight foreman of the Topeka round house
where he remained for about ten years.
He was then transferred to the same
position in Argentine in 1897 which posi-
ton he held for four years and was
forced to resign his position on account
of ill-health and was given a position as
a Waterman in the shops here on night
duty in 1901. He held this position un-
til 1903 when he suffered a severe at
a weak condition that he could not hold
this position longer and went to the
State Soldiers home at Fort Dodge
where he remained until his death.

Frisco Engineers Instructed About
Making Up Time.

Wichita, July 13.-Since the inaugu-
ration of the fast mail service on the
Frisco. on many occasions the train has
been late getting out of St. Louis or
has been delayed along the road In
order to make up any time on this run
the engineer has to simply fly Re
Gently an extra man was placed on the
run on account of the regular man
laying off He started out 50 minutes
late He was delayed at many places
from various causes. making in all
about an hour. and arrived in Monet
only two minutes late.
It is said the way he rounded the
corners made the hair stand up straight
on the mail clerks heads and even the
ole conductor complained of the time
being too fast.
The result has been that the engine
men now have instructions not to make
too fast a run. regardless of how late
they are. On some parts of the track
they are not allowed to make up any
time whatever on account of the rough
condition of the roadbed-

never could tell what caused it and
neither could anybody else For a
long time I had bad spells with my
stomach. The plain would commence
about my heart and was so deadly ag-
onizing that I would have to scream
aloud. Sometimes it would last sew
eral hours and I would have to take
laudanum to stop it. Besides this
had a headache almost constantly. day
and night, that nearly crazed me. so
you see I suffered a great deal. And
when I think Of the agony 1 endured it
still makes me shudder.
Doctors, did you say2 Their med
icine made me sicker. 1 couldn't take
it and I kept growing worse until a
friend advised me to take DR. Williams
Pink Pills. and I did. / began to feel
better and was soon wholly converted
to this wonderful medicine. 1t did me
more good than had ever hoped for.
I kept on with the pills and now I rec
ommend them to all who suffer"

MAKING coon MONEY now.
Rock Island and Frisco System show
Big Increases for Year.


New York. July 13.@The net earn
ings for the fiscal year of the Frisco
and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
have not been compiled as yet. as 1t is
too early TO get all the data. The
gross receipts of the Frisco, however,
show an increase Of over 100000
and of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
about s1.360,O00 over the previous
fiscal year.
It is expected that the Rock Island
600, coo in gross and about 100000
in the net. A prominent official in the
Rock Island system says that the vari-
Gus roads in the system have large
business ahead of them.
So far as can be learned. it has not
been fully determined by the directors
whether the regular dividend on
Frisco first preferred stock will be
maintained. The regular quarterly
disbursement Of 1 per cent was paid
on July 1.
Apparently it is matter of policy
as TO whether any more dividends are
paid before the disbursements of
profits is regularly resumed by the
various companies in the Rock Island
system ONLY $4,000 a quarter, or
100000 year, is required to pay the
per cent dividend on the first pre-
ferred.
Ii is not large amount TO pay out,
but on the other hand every 5000. 600
counts when large sums of money are
needed TO develop a railroad property
as the growth of the country which it
serves requires. In connection with
the latter point it may be stated that
the Frisco management is confident
that the development in Oklahoma and
other sections of the southwest will be
sufficiently large during the next two
years to give the Frisco an increased
business. regardless of conditions that
may obtain in other sections served by
the cOmpany's lines.
BY reason of the policy adopted by
the Frisco and Rock Island manage
ment last winter, regarding the mat
ter Of dividends. both companies will
be able to report a considerable larger
surplus in proportion to net earnings
for the last fiscal year than for the
previous fiscal year. For the fiscal
year Just begun the Frisco. at least.
Will be able to report a still larger sur
plus in proportion to the net receipts.

was deemed wise TO provide by resolu-
ton for an investigation by the inter
state commerce commission.
In Great Britain the block system IS
universal. The matter is under the con-
troll of the board of trade, which compeis
railroads to use the requisite apparatus
for providing by means of the block
telegraph system an adequate interval
of space between following trains. and,
in the case of functions, between con-
verging and crossing trains. This ap-
plies to tracked roads. On single
lines the train staff or tablet system IS
required under rules specified by the
board. For single-traek roads the cleo
trio staff and tablet system IS perfect in
point of rOtection. The track to be pro-
tected is divided into blocks or sections
of such length as to best accommodate
traffic conditions. the blocks usually
terminating at existing stations or tele-
graph offices. Each station is controlled
by two instruments and each instru-
ment is equipped with sufficient num-
Der of STATS to take care Of the traffic
conditions. No train is permitted to pass
over one section in either direction I'M
less the conductor or engineer has in his
possession one of these STATS. The staff
really takes the place of a telegraph
train order. This is an absolute block, .
allowing but one train in any section
The block system is now in use on
about 10000 miles of railroads in the
United States. This does not neCeSSaFl-
ly mean that every train in this 10000
miles is protected by a space interval.
which is the fundamental principle Of
the block system.
The extent of track in this country on
which a complete block system is IN
operation is very limited The Cincin-
natl. New Orleans & Texas railway is
the best example of single-track block
ing in the country. and has the distinc-
ton of being the only single-track rail
way in the world with the automatic

minal to terminal
The president. in his last annual mes
sa ge to congress called attention to the
mum Der of serious collisions on unlock
ed roads and to the necessity for legis-
lation to require the use of block sys-
TENS. He also recommended this in his
1905 measure. By the act of congress OF
March 8, 1901. it was made the duty of
railway officials to report mnthly to
the interstate commerce commission all
collisions of trains and accidents, their
nature and causes. This law has result
ed in the publication every three months
of accident bulletins by the commission.

SERVICES IN OPERA HOUSE
Rev. Belknap breaches 10 Large Crowd
Last Night logs

On account Of the crowds which
have crowed the Presbyterian
church to hear Dr. Belknap who is
conducting the Union Revival seryi
ces, the meeting was held in the
Opera House last night, and bad it
not been for the disagreeable wind
many more would have been out.
The speaker had to talk against
the thunderous rumblings Of the
tin roof and the ilcessant Tapping
of sheet iron window screens, both
of which should either be nailed or
torn off for they certainly make an
audience anything but attentive.
The first part of the service was
devoted to song service. A duet
and a solo were among the'fcatures.
Rev. B lki ap spoke about the
judgment day who would he found
on one side ard who on the other.
He presented his many sided sub
ject in clear and forcible mar ner
and to the enlighten went an up
lifting of his audience.
