There are nine states showing an ex-

with 228 miles; Wisconsin. with 220

California, with 211 miles.
This makes a total of 1854 miles built

Ohio river and east of the Mississippi /
river, 1,150 miles were built, leaving ~
miles to be credited to the states north
of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi

RIPLEY LETTER OUT.
Says He Hopes Employees VIII Accept
Pension System in Spirit Offered.

President E. P. Ripley. of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad corr
pany, has sent out the following letter
regarding the pension system that has
been announced Will be placed in effect
on the Santa Fe
ITO all employees:
1T is with great satisfaction that I
issue this day announcement concern
ing the pensions to be granted to loyal
and worthy employees. 1 believe Il TO
be mere liberal in its terms than any
pension system now in force and 1 sin
cerely hope that all will show appreci-
alton of it by increased zeal and loyal
ty. Nearly every employee has it in his
power to benefit the company by his
work and influence, or to injure it by
carelessness or indifference. The sys-
TEN about to be introduced will be car
ried out wholly at the expense of The
company and it IS only fair that those
whose future is thus made safer should
in return render the best service CT
which they are capa BILE. I hope that
it will some day be found possible to
make the amount of pension larger
that will depend on the prosperity Ct
the company, which every employe
should strive to promote
''E. P. RIPLEY, President. "

day his foreman, F. A Miller. told
him to help on one of the Griffin

work a strap which was used for the
purpose of throwing the mill in and
out OF gear. There were two ends to
the strap and they ran around a shaft
which revOived 500 revolutions per
minute. McKiernan attempted to
use the strap in throwing the mill in
such a shape to grind cement more
carefully and it became fastened in
some way and his arm was thrown
around the shaft The bones were
broken in two places and one of the
bones protruded from the flesh. His
muscles and tendons were lacerated
and he was taken to the hospital for
treatment. There his arm was put in
plaster cast for a month. After

sary and he says that he has lost the
use of his forearm. A knot has form

THEY SLAUGHTERED CROWS.
Hunters Invade the Big ROosts in
Labette County.

Parsons, Kan, Dec. 29.=Crows'
Roost in the western part of Labette
county still keeps up its popularity
for being a hunting resort Almost
any day the residents of that neigh
bCrhood can hear the reports of shot
guns in the hands of hunters, and still
the hunting is good.
Ed Bero. jr., and DIR. George R.
White went to Crows Roost yesterday
for the purpose of hunting crows.
Using crow calls, they brought many
hundreds to them at a time. Only
one at a time can be shot. When they
had killed one hundred and fifty crows
it became tiresome for them to count
any longer. so the rest were not kept
account of. Hunting crows is fine
practice in craftsmanship, and only
that. for the game is worth nothing.

This morning another good gas
well was added to the cluster in this
community. 1t was brought in by the
Arkansas Valley Gas company on the
Brewer farm Gas was struck at the
usual depth and the flow was as strong
as any that has been brought in this
field. 1t is possible there may be one
that is better and that is said to be
the one alongside of the Frisco track
The new well is about a mile north of

west of where a buster was found on
the Green farm. 1t is possible that
the next drilling viii be east of the
