Total in A states and
territories 1888


Last March a summary showed that
1S, 900 miles. of new railroad were then
under contract, and since that time
contracts for several thousand miles
more have been awarded But the
work of building has been seriously
retarded by the two causes above noted
labor shortage and scarcity of rails.
The demand for more workmen has
been almost universal.
On the line of the Western Pacific
the contractors for months have been
advertising for 5000 more laborers, but
without much success. This road is
now under contract for the entire 92S
miles from Salt Lake City to San
Francisco, and while over 100 miles of
track have been laid on the eastern
end, work in Nevada and California
has been held back by the lack of
Workmer.
On many other important extensions
similar conditions have prevailed for
months and the result is that much
new mileage which had been planned
for completion this year will have to
be carried over into 1907.
Other roads which have been more
fortunate in securing the labor for the
work of grading have found it i'm
possible tc obtain steel for track-lay-
ing, and many hundreds of miles of
grade have been completed for ninety
days or more on which further work
has been suspended until spring be-
cause the mills have been unable to
supply the steel.
There are nine states showing an
excess Of 200 miles of new line each.
Texas being far in the lead with 701
miles, while Louisiana and South Da-
kota are neck and neck for second
place. with 391 and 3S9 miles, respec-
lively. Nevada is fourth with $50
miles, and then come in the order
named, Arkansas with 240 miles, North
Dakota with 22S miles, Wisconsin with
220 miles, Wyoming with 214 miles and
California with 211 miles. This makes
a total of 1854 miles built in these nine
states, or nearly one-half of the total
for the entire country. The only states
from which no new track is reported
are the New England states of New
Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and
Connecticut, and the middle states of
New Jersey and Delaware.
The following tabulation shows the
construction by groups or states:

SURED BY POLICE
Aged Carpenter Drops Dead at a
Religious Meeting, Ten Minutes
After Receiving His Monthly
Allowance

H. A. Card, 73 years of age, a carpen-
ter, dropped dead of heart disease at a
meeting of the Holiness society at it's
hall. 2151s West Fourth street, at $3.50
yesterday afternoon. The body was
taken to the receiving hospital and later
to Pierce brothers undertaking estab-
lishment.
Card had been a member of the Holi-
ness society for twenty-five years. He
has been prominent In the work of the
society during all that time and has
rarely missed attending a meeting.
About four years ago he became i'll
and it was found necessary to amputate
his left leg just above the knee. He was
unable to work after the operation, so
the members of the society agreed to
give him $40 a month during the re-
mainder of his life. This money was to
be paid the first of each month.
The money was given him yesterday
about ten minutes before his death. He
was standing up while a hymn was be-
ing sung when neighbors saw him fall
forward. He was carried into the hall
and laid on the floor and the police
were sent for.
Takes Money from Pockets
When the wagon reached the scene a
number of those who were present were
standing about the body. His pockets
had been emptied of all they contained,
and F. E. Normandy, president of the
society, was holding purse containing
a sum of money in his hand. He also
had several small articles. When
ordered by Detective Ingraham to re-
place the articles he refused to do so,
saying he would trust no man.
The body was brought to the station
and a few minutes later Normandy
showed up. He claimed he had given
the money he took from Card to Mrs.
Huff and she will probably be compelled
by the coroner to return it to Cards
relatives.
AT the police station the action of the
members of the society m going through
Cards pockets as soon as he fell is
greatly condemned and is said to be
one of the most heartless things which
has been reported there for some time.
Should the police wish a -reat deal of
trouble could be caused those who did
it, as it is a felony 70 touch any article
on the body of a dc 9an, but as the
organization is a religrs5.s one it is
probable nothing will be done in the
matter.
Card has one daughter, Mrs. Dora
Bryant, living at The Palms. She was
notified last night of her fathers death.

CHAPTER XVII.
DINNER is sERVED.


Monsieur Pierre. having uttered this
ejaculation. stepped back and rested
his Fat hands ON his tat hips. AS he
surveyed the impromptu butler, a
shade OF perpleXity spread over his oily
face. He smoothed his imperial and
frowned. This groom certainly looked
right, but there was something lacking
in his makeup that indefnable some
thing which is always found in the
true servant-scrviity. There was no
humility here. no hypocritical meek
ness. 70 suavity; there was nothing
SNUG or self-satished. In truth. there
was something grimly earnest, which
was not 20 be understood readily.
Monsieur Pierre. having always busted
himself With soups and curries and
roasts and sauces. was not a profound
analyst; yet his instructive Slrewd-
ness at once told him that this fellow
was no servant, nor could he ever be
made into one. Though voluble enough
in his kitchen. Monsieur Pierre lacked
expression when confronted by any
problem outside of it, Here was the
regulation swallOw-tail coat and
trousers of green. the striped red vest.
and the polished brass buttons: but
the man inside was too much for him.

During this speculative inventory,
Warburtons face was gravely set;

He was grave. He even wanted Pierres
approval. He was about TO pass
through very trying ordeal; he might
not even pass through IL. There was
