Leaders Are Chosen to Fight
Illinois 2-Cent Rate.
Vice President Nicholson of
Santa Fe Is. Appointed.
PLAN OFATTACK MADE
Will Make q Determined Effort
to Restore Old Price.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

PRESIDENT b. L. Winchell of the Rock
Island yesterday selected three railroad
officials to lead the attack on the Illi-
nois cents mile passenger law
The committee consists of George T.
Nicholson, third vice president of the
Santa Fe; P. s. Eustis. passenger traf-
nc manager of the Burlington, and A.
HI. Hanson, passenger traffic manager
of the Illinois Central
A meeting of the committee will be
called some time this week. and a
definite course of procedure decided
Acting with them will be the general
attorneys of all the Illinois lines. who
will determine the best method of TAX
ing the matter into the courts The
traffic officials will concern themselves
largely with the preparation Of figures
showing the workings of the law for
the consideration of the lawyers
That the penalty imposed by the law
is excessive will be the main argument
of the railroads, although facts will be
presented to show that the passenger
business has been made unremunera-
tive. The law imposes a penalty for
each ticket sold in violation of it's pro-
visions. This would mean, in the case
Of the Burlington. for instance, that
the violation of the law for one month
would cause fine, if 800 were asses
sed for each ticket, of more than $780,
600, 600.
In the recent decision Of the supreme
court in the Minnesota rate case the
law was held unconstitutional because
the penalty was so excessive as to pre-
vent a test of the measure, and rail-
road men feel the same ruling will APP
ply in Illinois.
T There. is a test case of the Illinois
passenger law pending, but the fact
that it was brought by small road
and in state court, where the process
of a final determination will be slow.
has attracted little attention to it. The
case comes up for argument in the cir
cult court at Chester this week.
The Illinois Southern, a Walsh road,
is the defendant in this suit. For the
purpose of testing the law, the road did
not put the cent rate into effect until
July 2, 1907, a day after the measure
became operative. A suit charging
violation OF the law was instituted.
Officials of other railroads are watch
ing this case with interest, but they
feel they can reach q quicker settle
ment of the matter by seeking an in
junction in the federal court.

MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving on COnee.


MANY former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform. day af-
ter day, have. found better capacity
and greater endurance by using
Postum Cereal instead of coffee. An
Ills. woman writes:
IT had drank coffee for about TWEEN
ty wears, and finally had what the
doctor called coffee heart" was
nervous and extremely respondent;
had little mental or physical strength
left, had kidney trouble and consti-
patton.
.sThe first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Post
nm was the natural action of the KID
news and bowels. In two weeks my
heart action was greatly improved
and my nerves steady.
"Then i became less respondent.
and the desire to be active again.
showed proof of renewed physical
and mental strength.

NEW ROAD FOR OKLAHOMA.
To Run Between Oklahoma City and
Lindsay.


Guthrie, Ok. April S-Mayor T. D.
Wagner of Lindsay is urging the pro-
motion of the Oklahoma & Texas rail-
way, of which he has always been an
earnest advocate. II am anxious that
the road should be constructed says
he. Between Oklahoma City and
Lindsay there is a vast expanse OF
territory, nearly 75 by 100 miles. that
is entirely unoccupfed by railroads.
This country is In the most productive
section OF the entire state. Farm pro-
ducts and natural resources abound.
At present It is reasonably thfckly set
tied. but with q direct outlet to Okla
homa City 1t will mean millions OF
dollars to commerce.
There is room for half million
people in the district Of which speak.
With the construction Of a line
through 1t. it's settlement is assured
and Oklahoma City will become the
market for the greater amount of its
products. AS it Is, much Of the trafl1c
which rightly belongs here goes in
another direction. Lindsay shipped
and received freight amounting to over
$223,00O to the Santa Fe last year. The
Frisco also did large business. Con-
gress has promised to remove the In
dian restriction this month. This will
do much for the influx OF strangers to
this section. They have heretofore
been kept out because of the inability
to secure ownership of lands. It will.
in my opinion, prove Of inestimable
benefit to the entire state"

SANTA FE 70 JOPLIN.
Will Have Union Station With Mis-
souri, & Northern Arkansas.

Joplin, Mo-, April s-'sYou can say
on my authority said John Scullin.
president of the Missouri & North Ar
kansas Railroad company, yesterday
morning, that the Santa Fee railroad
and the Missouri & North Arkansas
jointly own the property purchased in
this city. In the aggregate we have
about $250,000 invested. The Santa Fe
and the Missouri & North Arkansas
will occupy a union station in Jop-
lin
How soon do you think the Santa
Fe will get into Joplin" was asked:
IT don't know" replied Mr.. Scullin.
The in-Francis party reached
Joplin yesterday, having come in from
Kansas City, where several of them
attended the. Democratic banquet Mon
day night. After breakfast the party
visited the Connor hotel, now rapidly
nearing completion, and although pre-
pared to behold an elegant hosiery
they all admitted that the elegance and
completeness of the establishment were
greater than they had expected:
The most enthusiastic member OF
the official group was Day std a oo fr an
ture and optimism. I've made no
mistake in selecting Joplin as the
western terminus of the Missouri &
North Arkansas" said the former
governor, This town is destined to
thing for Joplin, of course, that the
Missouri & North Arkansas is coming
here, but 1t is a good thing for the
Missouri & North Arkansas, or any
other railroad to tap town like Jop-
lin.
Just when we shall enter Joplin
cannot be stated definitely continued
Mr. Francis. I'VE have made arrange
ments with the Kansas City Southern
to use It's terminals in Joplin until we
are in shape to use our own. The new
depot will be north of Broadway and
as near the corner of Main and Broad
way as practicable.
Asked as to whether a contract had
been placed with the Western Union
for putting wires into Joplin. Mr..
Francis said he did not know anything
about it, A statement to that effect
was made some time ago by an even
ing paper and reiterated last night,
but none of the officials of the road
who were here yesterday would con-
firm it.
The party left Joplin yesterday
morning about 1880 O'Clock. having
been in the city in all about two hours.

Mitchell, S. D., April S.-As heavy
storm descended on the Democratic
convention today but it has mot
dampened the activity which had
been going 'on since early morning
concerning the making Of the state
ticket. A new deal was sprung this
morning after it had been supposedly
settled that Ex-Governor Lee was to
be accepted as the candidate for the
United States senate. Some earnest
work on the part of his followers,
brought about the situation that Mr..
Lee now stands for the nomination
for governor and Senator Pettigfew
has been approached to become a
candidate for the United States sem
