New Railroad Nearing Completion.

Denver.-"In three months we will
have in operation 700 miles of tho
finest railroad system ever constructed
in this county," said Ed Dickinson,
formerly general manager of the Union
Pacific, but now with the Kansas City.
Mexico & Orient
Dickinson rode into Denver in one Of
the finest private cars that has ever
Leen handled by the local depot crew.
He is one of the best known railroad
men in the West and is especially pop.
.ular with the employees of the Union
Pacific, who took advantage of the op-
pOrtunity to again meet their formcr
employer. He has gone to Wagon
Wheel Gap, where he will spend a week
in fishing.
Work on the new road is progress
ing very rapidly" said Dickinson. I've
expect to be operating 800 miles into
Mexico by December 1st and at that
time we will have a total of 1000 miles
IL operation. We have four sections OF
road in operation at present in the
United States between Emporia, Kan
sas, and San Angelo, Texas. These ara
being connected and will all be in one
road by September 1st, when the en-
tire 700 miles will be operated as one
system.
I'VE have made sufficient showing
with the road to succeed In floating
$13,000,000 worth of bonds. The four
sections now in operation are earning
a small margin over operating eX-
penses, taxes and interest, which we
consider remarkable showing in view
CT the fact that the sections are not
connected and are not much more than
four separate small roads. The Uniol
Construction Company has taken all
of the $13,000,000 bond issue and has
practically sold them ALL
Dickinson was asked in regard to the
connections of the Stillwell road, as
the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient is
known, with Colorado. He said that
every energy was now being directed
toward completing the main line from
Kansas City to the Pacific coast OF
Mexico and that when this was finished
and in operation 1t would undoubtedly
be the policy of the company to build
intersecting roads in promising sec
lions. A right of way has been securedl
from the main line to Pueblo under the
rame of separate corporation and
it is the intention of the company some
Jay to build into Colorado.

Teddy Making Hay.

New York.-President Roosevelt har.
vested the hay crop on the Sycamore
Hill farm. Edward Maloney of East
Norwich, Long Island, who worked at
the task, told the story in the village
store in his home town. He said:
About 2 o'clock the President came
out to the field. He was dressed in a
white suit and a white negligee shirt,
and with hearty greeting all around,
began to pitch with the others, with
one loading.
Before the first load was done you
would not have given 80 cents for that
white shirt. And talk about the sweat
drops, like peas! The President shed
them as big as black walnuts, dropping
from his face, and he didn't ctop to
wipe them off, either, but kept right
on pitching up forkfuls so big that he
had to get under them and shove them
up to me.
Talk about hay pitchers-he's a
wonder. After we got two wagons
loaded, drove to the barn with Teddy
In the lead, with fork on shoulder, and
when we reached the new hay barn
The President climbed on my load, and
so up in the NOW, where he took the
hay from the fork and moved 1t away
with more big drops falling from him

Entombed Alive With Corpse.

Florence. Italy.-The search for the
Marchioness Magdalen Castellare, a
beautiful and accomplished member of
the Italian nobility, was ended beside
a grave. The marchioness had been
entombed alive with a corpse. Her
body was found in coffin with Sig.
Rossi. banker, who died a few days
before her disappearance. Her face
was convulsed with terror and her
limbs were contorted with the fright
full efforts she evidently made for lib
erty. The expression and attitude
bear testimony to the agony of her
struggles with death.
The exact nature of the accident
may never be known. 1t is conjec-
tured that she visited the cemetery to
pray at the grave of her dead sweet
heart. Count Franchi. and wandered by
mistake into the vault In which Rossis
comm lay. Then, 1t is supposed, she
swooned when she saw the corpse in
the open coffn. and fell into the casket
and upon the bankers body. The at
tendants presumably clamped the lid
on the casket in the darkness soon af-
terward without seeing that two forms
lay inside.

that his bait had fallen through the
bung hole of the keg and had been
captured by fish too big to go through
the only opening left in the key. His
explanation of the occurrence wound
up by stating that there was only two
solutions to the mystery, the first was
that the fish on feeling the hook got
scared and the fright caused him to
get small enough to enter the bung
hole where upon feeling somewhat
secure in his surroundings he swelled
up and could not get out. The other
was that the fish went in the keg when
it was a little minnow and grew there
until he could not get out. ODE
