MANY ToNs OF DOLLARS.
WelIs-Fargo Car Carried 800, 600
Mexican Coins Through Topeka.


In one of the Santa Fe trains which
passed through here yesterday was an
express car which contained 100000
silver dollars. The car was sealed and
guarded by a number of special Wells
Fargo messengers. The money came
from Mexico and is being sent to
some point in the east
Since the decree of President Diaz
of Mexico in March. 1905, placing the
monetary system of the government
on a gold basis there has been
large movement of silver out of that
country and within the last few weeks
there have been several large ship
ments.
The coin in the express car yester-
day was stored in 225 boxes, each
containing $4,000 and weighing $50
pounds. The entire shipment weighed
,250 pounds. or tWenty-three and
one-eighth tons.
One of the express officials in
charge of the car was asked if he
was not afraid of train robbers and
he replied
Train robbers don't travel with
wagons. To move that money would
require thirty horses and fifteen
wagons
If the silver treasure was taken
from the car and the dollars laid
side BY side on a smooth surface they
would cover an area of 14.062 square
feet or surface 118 feet square. If
the dollars were piled one on another
they would make column 1900 feet
high, pile nearly a mile and a half
in dimension. If they were laid i'm a
row they would make line of silver
more than twenty-one miles in
length.

HE IS RETURNING THE MONEY.
Arkansas City Traveller Relates an
Odd Circumstance.

The Citizens State bank has a con-
science fund patron. Some time ago a
man went in there to get some change
for his employer. There was a rush of
bushes at the time he asked for the
change and in the hurry the man was
given a ten dollar bill too much The man
had hardly gone before the cashier be-
came convinced that he had made a mis-
take. He called on the man, who denied
getting too much. His employer also gave
him a talking to, but the man stoutly
denied getting the money. That night at
the bank, when cash was balanced. there
was a shortage of ten dollars. The man
was given another sweat, but he con-
tinued to affirm that he had no money
that was not his. Several weeks after
ward the man walked into the bank and
gave the cashier five dollar bill and
admitted that he got the ten dollar bill,
and wanted time to pay the other five.
Since he has been paying it on the INSTALL
ment plan. one dollar at a time.-Arkan-

MANY IsIAIGRANTs COMING.
TIhrty-five Families to Locate in the
Southwest.

y
Southwest.
St. Louis. Jan. 25.-S. A. Hughes,
general immigration agent of the
Frisco, has been informed by Euro
pean agents of the company that ten
Swiss families Will start for Missouri
next month and that twenty-five Itai-
ian families will reach Arkansas with
in the next ninety days. These are
considered to be a particularly de-
sirable class of immigrants, as they
are not only experienced in dairying
but are possessed of some means and
are industrious and thrifty.
The ten Swiss families will settle in
Brannsville, Howard county, Missouri.
Most of them will invest their savings
in land and will Immediately become
farm owners. One of these immf-
grants. who is comparatively we'll to
do, proposes to build a large cheese
establishment in or near Brannsville.
The decision of these families to set
tie in Missouri is the result of Mr..
Hughes negotiations with the Swiss
government last summer on his tour
of Europe Upon returning to
America Mr.. Hughes brought with
him a committee which had been ap-
pointed to investigate conditions in
Missouri and submit a report to the
Swiss authorities. The committed s
report was favorable, and as a cOnSe-
quence the movement of settlers from
Switzerland to Missouri is expected to
increase.
The twenty-five Italian families will
settle in Benton county, Arkansas.
They are experienced in all farm
work. The Frisco agent at Naples
notifies Mr.. Hughes that they will
reach America within ninety days.
Their coming is also a result of Mr..
Hughes European trip.
Il am more confirmed in the opin-
iOn,'' said Mr.. Hughes. "that the i'm
migration problem must be solved at
the place of departure. The United
States government should determine
before immigrants start on their Voy-
age whether they should be permit
ted to settle in this country, and
should advise them as to where they
should settle. It is very important
that immigrants should not be brought
to New York. for if they meet friends
in New York they will remain in the
metropolis. and then they will become
unfit as citizens and will be worse of
than they were in their native lands.
Immigrants ought to be landed al
Galveston and New Orleans. where
they can be helped to their destina-
ton by the southwestern and western
railroads. And. with their future de-
termined somewhat before they leave
Europe, they will be prepared to be-
gin work when they complete theiI
journey from the port"
