TRAINMEN OF KATY
 VOTE ON STRIKE
First Ballot on Question Suh- mittcdt to Employees of
 FOrty-nine Lines.

Parsons, Kan, March 11.-At a meeting of representatives of the orders of conductors and trainmen of one division of the Missouri. Kansas & Texas railway, held here last night, it was voted to strike in case the officials of that system refuse the mems demand for an increase in wages.
 The men are taking a secret bal lot on acceptance or rejection of the compromise wage offer made by the road. Nothing is officially known as to the result of the vote. The vote will be canvassed in Chi cago March 21.
 It was only learned today that the officials of the various orders of employees on the Katy had met here last night. Most of them left for their homes early today and no official statement was given out. Indeed, it was not even known just what officials had attended the meeting. Among those who are known to have been present are C. 5. Moore, representing the brake men, and H. H. Reid of the con- ductors.
 The action marks the first ballot of any ol the forty-nine roads which took part in the recent con- ference at Chicago.
 The men who voted are the en- ployes of one division. However, general vote by the employees of this railroad would not mean a strike until all of the men em- ployed by the roads involved have been heard from. Then. it is un- derstood, there will be another conference between the managers and the representatives of the unions. The meeting in Chicago ad- journed subject to the call of the chairman
 The final conference will come when all have voted. The offer of the general managers for an in crease which practically was per cent below that which the men de- manded still stands. and if this is not acceptable to the rank and file the managers ask for the sub mission of the demands to a board of arbitration.

Santa Fe Trainmen Modify Their Dc
 mandS.

Topeka, Kan, March 11.-ThrouS1 from all points on the system, at a meeting here today, the conductors and trainmen of the At chison. Topeka and Santa Fe rail- way voted not to accept the com promise of a ten-hour day and 10 per cent increase in wages offered by the western railway operating officials at the recent meeting in Chicago. The men, however, modified their demand and now ask for a nine-hour day and 12 per cent increase in pay. The original demand was fo "a 15 per cent increase and an eight-hour day
 General Manager Hurley of the Santa Fe last night stated that the company would not concede to the modified demands of the men, but was willing to arbitrate in the hope of averting a strike. The men state that they have yielded all that they intend to and predict strike unless the company grants the 12 per cent in- Crease and time reduction demanded.

GOOD HOUSES ARE
 CHEAPER THAN EVER
1 Fast Workmanship Has Checked
 Boosts by Lumber Trust.

With all the talk there has been in the last year or so of lumber trusts, increased cost of materials and other things having a tendency to scare people from building, the fact re- mains that good houses are actually cheaper now than a few years ago. It is no doubt true that the cost of lumber and materials has advanced, and the fact that persons who build and persons who buy houses already built have not felt it is due principally to changes in the methods of build ing.
 Mill construction has become a great factor in the building business. In the old days contractors found tt necessary to make doors, window sashes and, in fact, everything that can now be bought from the big lum- Der firms all ready for use
 The use of machinery has greatly reduced the cost of such material. Dozens of inventions have been
 
 perfected for use in building. The old, slow, laborious and costly plan of blaming hardwood floors entirely by hand has given place to an smproved machine, which does the work even better in a fraction of the time. This saves many dollars for the man who is going to own the house, because it saves many dollars for the con- tractor who is building it.
 Workmen are more skilled in their trades and, if they do get more pay, they earn more. They work faster, many of them and the experts often have time records on particular jobs that they take much pride in maiontaining.
 The expert father, the expert shingle layer, expert door and window hangers are to be found on almost every job, and they do more work in week than the same number of men would do in two weeks a few years ago.

A COLLEGE OF FREAKS.

A COLLEGE OF FREAKS.
 Not all the freaks are in the state legislatures, says the Owens boro, (Ky.) Inquirer. The Chicago University has some of the rarest specimens eXtant. The latest one to be heard from in that institution of mental monstrosities is Prof. Chas. R. Henderson, sociologist, who proposes a college of court ship for the reform of American lovemaking.
 Prof. Chas. R. Henderson must be a "horrid old bachelor" whose heart has been impervious to the assaults of Cupid, therefore he knows nothing about the inde- scribable experience of lovemak- ing and popping the question, other wise he would realize how utter ly impractical is his preposterous proposition.
 Counting is thing that can't be done by fixed rules, as any man who has tried it will tell you. A fellow might go to a counting school until he had graduated with highest honors' and on the oc- casion of receiving his diploma de- liver most learned oration on How to Hold Hands, '.The Proper Capers of Cupid" or "How to Cor rectly Perform the Osculatory Stunt" put when he had gone out Unto the world seeking some fair fgirl to "chin," he would go all to pieces as soon as he got down to real business, and his college edu- scation on courting would go for snaught.
