$4,000 and 100000 will be expended by
the Missouri Pacific railway on i'm

chief clerk to A. H. Webb superintend-
emit of the Missouri Pacific railway, to-
day.
1.-The company is now engaged in
laying a double track through the city
from the Kiowa junction in West
fifth street. The double track is COM
plete and in use from Second to
Twelfth street. The track will be laid
with rail weighing So pounds to the
yard and costing $50 a ton.
"In mile of single railroad track
there are $500 yards, or 299,200 pounds
of rail Measured in tons, it requires
1876 tons of rail to lay a mile of sin
gle railroad track, there being Zoo
pounds in long ton. 1t will therefore

lay the double track the same distance.
The cost of the rails alone at $50 a ton
will be $24, 480. This does not include
the spikes and angle bars or the labor
required to put the track down. We
labor to lay track. This would bring
the cost of the three miles of double
track up to more than $25. 900.
Another feature of the improve
ments is a new double span bridge
across the Arkansas river here, to take
the place of the present bridge. The
old bridge will be utilized as far as
practicable in building the new bridge.
The approximate cost will be about
$40, 000

extensive coach sheds over it's passen-

street. The sheds will be equipped with
a small paint factory and warehouse
for painting and repairing passenger
coaches. Part of the coach repair force
will be brought here from Fort Scott. !"

KING OF TRANIPS.
DIR. Reitman, Who Spent Eighteen
Years on the Road.

Chicago, Jan. DR. Reitman, who
Is best known as the king of tramps, Is
of the type of citizen which Roosevelt
SO heartily recommends, for he is at
tempting to better the environments
and lives of three million Migrants,
weary Willies and the otherwise .unem-
ployed scattered over the country. DR..
Reitman is 40 years old, a native of
Chicago and a graduate of the poly
technfc and medical college of that city.
over six feet tall and proportionately
built, he is a splendid type of vigor-
Gus manhood. Wearing his jet black
hair long, a broad brim soft black hat
and black flowing tie, he looks more
like the successful artist or opera star
who has returned to America from a
trip abroad, than the king of vaga-
bondia who has reformed himself and
now proposes to reform the fellow men,
bers of his late profession. Here is
what he says of himself:
"A Baptist by adoption, single by
good fortune, physician and a teach
er by profession, cosmopolitan by
choice, socialist by inclination, a ras-
cal by nature, a celebrity by chance.
a tramp of 26 years walking, and a
tramp reformer by Inspiration
DR.. Reitman has been ION the road
so to speak, for IS years, and in that
time has freighted his way from the
Pacific to the Atlantic and from the
Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico.
He knows all localities and is perfect
ly at home in all the varieties of tramp
life. 1t is this intimate acquaintance
with the subject that has brought him
to undertake to solve what he regards
as the most important social evil Of to-
day. DR.. Reitman has not only studied
tramp life at close range, but is thor
oughly posted on the economic side and
on the medical side. He says:
II find without any doubt that many
typical tramps suffer from Dementia
Praecox-the insanity of adolescence.
This insanity may last for several
years or less, and then the victim
ceases his wanderings and becomes
fairly normal again. In Paranoia the
patient may have the delusion that he
must take a trip somewhere, that some
one is driving him away. Many buns
will start on a tramp through the
country without any apparent cause.
This is simply a form of alcoholic de-
mentia. 1 believe the tramp student of
the future will analyZe the majority of
itinerant Migrants, with the exception
of hoboes, as neuropathics. A hobo diff
fers from the other types in some par
ticulars. He works a week and hobo
land to him is any place where there
are farms. ice houses, section houses

and mines. He sometimes INDUCES in
petty thefts, but usually his worst Of
tense is that he cannot stand steady
employment very long. He spends the
fall in the wheat fields of Dakota,
moves on to the orange groves of Cali
fornia in the winter, and enjoys the
pleasant days of spring on the rail-
roads in Wyoming. He devotes his
summers to the fruit farms of Michi-
gan"
DR.. Reitman has many constructive
ideas, chief among these are first, the
the country in which tramps may be
held for time, not as a pnishment
but as an aid to strengthening their
minds and bridging over the period. Of
dementia. In these shops the tramp
would be required to work, but would
receive pay for his work The second
reform is in preventing men from beat
Ing their way over the country on the
railroads, and his suggestion in regard
to this is quite unique. He thinks that
law should be passed ffning the rail-
road 500 for every tramp caught beat
Ing his way on the ROAD. This stringent
measure is advocated because Dr.
Reitman knows by experience that
train employees frequently assist rather
than hinder this traffic. How DR.. Reit-
man will succeed in his proposed re-
form time alone will tell He must re-
alize from his own knowledge of the
subject the enormity of the task but
If he entertains any doubt about the
ultimate success of his plans he does
not show it. He is keeping on the
job in the true modern American
fashion, confident that the day is not
far distant when school children will
read in the books of the tramp, the
hobo and the bum, very much as chill
dren of the present day read OF the
great tribes of Indians and herds of
buffaloes that once roamed over the
country.
