Santa Fe Decides to Use Steel
Underframe Mail Cars.
First Road in Country to Adopt
Them Permanently.
HAVE BIG ADVANTAGE.
Impossible to Telescope or Seri-
OusIy Damage Them.
Gossip and Matters Of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

steel underframe mail cars have
been adopted permanently by the
Atchison. Topeka & santa Fe Railway
company and all hereafter ordered BY
the road will be Of that type.
The Santa Fe is the first road in the
country to reach this decision. While
other roads are experimenting with
this type of car, it is the first to adopt
it specifically.
1t is asserted for the new steel I'M
derframe mail cars now in use on the
Santa Fe that. while the latest in rail-
way equipment and design, they in
clude everything which can add to the
comfort, safety and convenience Of the
postal clerks.
The cars are supported by six wheel
trucks. and it is claimed for them that
they move over the rails without ap-
probable jar or vibration. In addition
to those now in use the Santa Fe is
manufacturing thirty-nine of the cars
in it's own shops. They will be so feet
long.
Some of the advantages claimed for
the cars are that they last longer and
are more economical in the long run
than the old style car and require few
er repairs. They also practically are
proof against destruction in any ordi-
nary accident, it being impossible to
telescope them. The underframe s
consist of four massive steel sills ex-
tending the entire length of the car.
To these are attached by steel needles
heavy solid metal crossbeams. This
construction makes almost impossible
the buckling or breaking in two of a
car.
Steel underframes are not to be lin
tied to mail cars on the Santa Fe.
Passenger and freight cars are here
after to be built after this type. There
are now in process of construction for
the Santa Fe sixty standard baggage,
70 feet long; $500 box, 36 feet long
having a carrying capacity of 70, 900
pounds each; $50 coal, with drop bot
toms. of 100000 pounds capacity; l.
$50 fiat, 40 feet long and of $4,000
pounds capacity; 450 Rodgers ballast,
of 100000 pounds capacity: 100 side,
of $4,000 pounds capacity; LOO drop
bottom stock and coke. and 500 fur
niture cars of 10000 pounds capacity.

concordia, April 2o-The Blade
says
young America is quick to emulate
the example set by their elders. A lot
of bows from the east end of town
have been having some trouble with
west end crowd and on Monday night
they went west with the little son Of
Jim TaIbert. coIored. as one OF the
crowd
Arriving at the corner OF Sixth and
Republican the east enders found
themselves without an enemy to fight
and they got into row with the
colored boy and decided to lynch him
They went so far as to tie him to a
telegraph pole and start a fire about
him and but for the timely arrival Of
a young miss Of the neighborhood,
who heard the Talbert boys cries. he
would at least have been badly burned
This young lady went after the gang
with such determination that they
quickly released their victim, who was
not long in getting out of reach Of his
prosecutors.
The gang of boys had evidently been
reading OF the lynching Of the negroes
at Springfield. Mo. and were resolved
to emulate the awful example set by
the mob there a few nights ago

PAINTING SPELLS
CAUSED BY WEAK CONDITION
OF THE BLOOD.
Cured by DR.. Williams, Pink PilIs. the
Remedy Which Actually Makes
New Blood.

Impoverished blood is the cause of
many troubles that are not recognized
as arising from It. Impoverishment of
the blood may originate from over
study, lack OF exercise. anxiety or
worry, or It may follow an acute dis
ease such as fever. or even result from
a cold. Physicians term impoverished
blood "anaemia, which Is Greek
word meaning too little blood.
Anaenaia makes the patient short of
breath, so that there is often a sense
of suffocation. sometimes there is a
cough and the sufererer seems to be
going into consumption. at others
there is murmur of the heart and
heart disease is feared. In the fol-
lowing case severe fainting spells we're
an alarming symptom resulting from
too little blood.

Residents Along Pere Marquette Talk
Of New Kind of Service

Detroit Mich, April 20@Residents
along the various branch lines of the
Pere Marquette road in Michigan are
seriously talking of fnstituting stage
coach routes to compete with the serv-
ice given by the railroad since the
abandoning of twenty-one passenger
trains because of the coal strike. They
declare that the road was not justi-
fed in taking off the trains. and that
as a result business in the districts
affected is nearly paralyzed.
On April 1, when the coal strike
went into effect, the management Of
the road announced that it would
abandon all unnecessary trains As q
result twenty-one trains were taken
off the time card. Branch lines were
allowed one train each way a day.
Travelling statesmen were unable to
make their regular calls. and the peo-
pie were aroused almost to rebellion.
There is always a lot of kicking
among the small consumers every
time a railroad makes a move" said
Supt. P. n. Place of the Pere Mar
quette but a great part of the roads
patrons appreciate its position and are
cooperating with US. If another
week sees no change in the coal strike
situation, we may add a passenger
coach to some of the freight trains

SANTA F'E PLANS A SURVEY.
Proposes to Run Line Through Okla
homa TO Texas Panhandle.


hOma to Texas Panhandle.
Guthrie. Okla, April 20.-The santa
Fe is preparing to run a survey for an
extension northwest from Ardmore, L
T, through Oklahoma into the Texas
Panhandle and Colorado. along prac-
tically the same route as that made by
the Texas, Oklahoma & Northwestern,
and in the vicinity of the proposed
Orient extension from Lone Wolf
southwest toward C'hickasha, 1. T.. The
Texas, Oklahoma & Northwestern is
now building in Custer and Dewey
counties toward Woodward on the
Panhandle division Of the Santa F'e. In
making the northwest survey from
Ardmore the Santa Fe is therefore en-
tering the race against the Orient and
the Texas Oklahoma & Northwestern.
The Santa Fe's proposed route lies via
Duncan. I. T., Lawton, Hobart and Elk
City in Oklahoma. In building this ex-
tension. the Santa Fe will be forced TO
cross the Rock Island in Comanche
county, Oklahoma. A number of years
ago an agreement was entered into be-
tween the Santa Fe and the Rock
Island, whereby each agreed not to
enter the others territory in Oklahoma.
This was violated. however, when the
Rock Island bought the Choctaw, east
ward from Amarillo, Texas, to Mem

GOVERNMENT POSITION UPHELD.
Judge Mcpherson Refuses to Quash
Rebate Indictments.


Kansas City. April 20.-Judge Smith
Mcpherson, in the United States dis
trict court here yesterday, overruled
the motions to quash the indictments
returned last December against George
H. Crosby, traffic manager of the Chi
cago. Burlington & Quincy railway,
and against L. B. Taggart and George
l. Thomas, freight brokers, charged
with conspiracy to violate the inter-
state commerce laws in the soliciting
and giving of rebates on packing house
and other products.
Judge Mcpherson sustained the gov
ernments demurrers to the motions to
quash. and in his decision held that the
conspiracy statutes apply to all kinds
of offenses aaginst the federal govern
ment.
Motions relating to the similar in
dictments now pending against other
railroads packing houses and officials
are yet to be argued.
