boilermaker being engaged in re-
pairing the boiler and Engineer Howe
and Fireman Myers came down to
take her to Pasco. Upon receiving
his orders this morning he read them
and remarked when he started out
OF the telegraph office that he would
go a short distance up the line before
taking siding for the passenger
train, which was then due here.
Instead of taking a spur in the
yards here, he continued his run east
ward and was going at a good rate
Of speed when he ran into the passen-
ger train which had just turned over
the hill and down the canyon toward
Pendleton.
Neither engine crew saw the other
approaching until the engines were
too close together to stop and neith-
er crew had time to jump.
1t is impossible to understand how
the crew on the passenger engine es-
capped instant death in their cab. as
It is crushed into kindling wood and
the tank is jammed onto the boiler
head like a cap.

o'NEIL SEES BAN JOHNSON.
Western League President Working
Hard to Secure Topeka.

Chicago, Feb. 11.-PreSident O'NeiII
of the Western league was here for a
conference with President johnson of
the American league and a member of
the national commission in regard to
ton. Johnson told O'Neill that if he
so desired he would endeavor to have
special meeting of the commission
called to discuss the proposition. He
said that if President Pulliam of the
National league was willing to come
west to attend the session ii could
probably be arranged without further
trouble.
O'Neill was at Cincinnati a day or
SO ago and talked over the situation
with Garry Hermann, chairman of
the commission. After this informal
discussion Hermann said that moth
ing could be done at present, but that
it would be brought up before the
body at the joint meeting of the two
leagues at New York toward the lat
ter part of the month
The Western league president is
especially anxious to add Topeka to
his circuit and does not think that he
was treated fairly by the National as
ISOLATION at its last meeting at New
York city. The question of property
rights is one that is bothering the
commission at present and it does not
like to take Topeka from the Western
association and give it to the Western
league, as it would establish a prece-
dent, and there are number of 9th er
cases of the same description pending
q t present.

ITYSTERIA ON THE WANE.
Outdoor Life That Girls of Today
Iesld Accounts for II.

Outdoor Life That Girls of Today
Lead Accounts for 1t.
Here is a tribute to the wisdom of
the modern ideas on the upbringing of
girls.
Hysteria is the generic name applied
to some of the most battling as well as
most interesting cases with which ply
sicians have to deal; cases which pro-
duce what might be called phenomena
Of the nervous system, morbid and abb
normal manifestations which have been
and are being studied by medical men
everywhere.
A nation whose women are inclined
to develop hysteria is to be pitied. One
whose women are conspicuously free
from the tendency is to initiate The
physician referred to above after noting
the fact that hysteria is less common
in England than it was a generation
ago. declares that much stress must
be laid on the defective education and
upbringing of English girls % or 80
years ago. They were allowed but lit
tie freedom of thought or action and
were kept closely tied to their mothers
apron strings. The mother was a we'll
meaning person, but she had but little
initiative and was hidebound by con-
vention.
She was orthodox, but her orthodoxy
was that of her mother, supplemented
by the teaching of the village parson.
This degeneracy reached its highest
point in the cathedral towns of Great
Britain.
A quarter of century has marked
a great change in this respect, and has
been concurrent with an increased ro-
business of health of our girls. They
are stronger now physically, mentally
and morally.
The advent of bicycling and motor
ing, and especially of greater facilities
for travelling in foreign countries. has
had much to do with this, chiefly by
permitting a more vigorous and intf-
mate social intercourse between young
men and women.
The girl of today dictates the policy
of her mother, and with a healthier
outdoor existence there are fewer of
the factors which tend to make for
hysteria and its attendant evils 1t is
comparatively rare nowadays to meet
with neurotic English girl and the
most typical and exaggerated form Of
the disease must be sought among the
Latin races.-Medical Brief.

MUST HAVE MONEY.
w. b. Jansen Says Santa Fe Has 10
Sell Its Bonds.

w. B. Jansen. fourth vice president
of the Atchison, Topeka Santa
railway system, is in Topeka t tO9dS ~
committee of the house of representa-
tives. -,
Mr.. Jansen plans to present some rea-
sons why it will be advisable TO pre-
vent the passage Of a bill now peno ll,,s
in the legislature looking to the resu-
lation of railway capitalization.
. THE people of Kansas 90 not seem
to realize said Mr.. Jansen to repor-
ter for the State Journal today, that a
railway system like the Santa re aGt-
nally needs money.
The fact remains nevertheless that
unless we are able to market the bonds
authorized by our recent meeting OF
stockholders, every bit OF improvement men
work will have to stop. Every uolldl
the company Possesses is pledged, ana
unless we are able to market these
bonds we will even have to endeaVor
to cancel some of the orders that we
have made for equipment.
The passage of a bill by the legls-
lature to regulate railway capitaliza-
ton will be a blow struck at the santa
Fe railroad because this is the only
large system having its home In the
state The minute such a bill Is passed
and committees appointed to 1nVesu-
gate and so forth, capitalists viii i'm
mediately refuse to take any OF our
securities until such time Is 1t appears
there is no action that may jeopardlze
their money.
The fact is that every dollar of bonds
that we plan to issue will go into in
trinsic value in addition to the system.
If we were planning to issue these
bonds as water for the purposes OIL
over-capitalization, there could be no
reasonable excuse for opposing this
proposed legislation. but such is not
the case, and we hope to be in a posi-
ton that we may market the bonds as
soon as the money market is in the
right condition. We do not want to.
have to sell the bonds below par, and
to get par for them it is imperative
that our credit be not impaired"
