MUST GIVE NAMES.
PostOfTice to Require .'Cards of Identi-

Chicago, Sept. 28.-Three thousand
women, part of the army of persons
in Chicago who obtain their mail at
the general delivery window in the
Chicago postoff1ce, have just revealed
to the postal authorities, many under
protest, their true names and adj
dresses. They were required to sign
"cardS of identification" and these
were placed in card indexes for refer
ence at each recurring application for
mail.
The requirement, enforced for the
first time, tears away part of the veil
of secrecy under which many a clan
desllne correspondence has been car
ried. on through the medium of the
general delivery window, and, in that
respect if in no other, according TO
Postoffice Inspector Stuart, it's origin

urgent demand recently has gone up

Road Is Alive to Spirit of Times
in Kansas.
Work Begun Today on McFar-
land Line.
LAYING THE TRACK.
New Fast Train to Texas by
November 2.
Topeka Horton Line Is Nearly
Finished.
.AYING THE TRACK.

Work commenced this morning on
the relaying of the Rock Island tracks
between Topeka and Mcfarland a dis
lance of 80 miles. The old rails which
weighed rs pounds to the yard will be
taken up and replaced with rails which
weigh So pounds to the yard, these be-
ing the heaviest rails in use ON any
western road
The work is being handled by $50
men These men are divided into
gangs, some of the men working at
surfacing the grade, while others will
lay the steel.
The work will be handled as fast as
possible without interfering in the least
with traffic AS fast as the old rails
are taken up the new ones are put in
place This work will be completed
some time this winter a large part of
the new track being ready for use be-
fore the heavy fall movement of tie
corn crop sets in.
The initial start was made near
Bishop, four miles west of Topeka. The
work will proceed from there west to
Mcfarland Later on as soon as the
new rails have been laid to Mcfarland
the work of relaying the tracks in the
Topeka yards will start. The yards eN-
tend nearly to Bishop.
This is a much needed improvement
on the part of the Rock Island. There
is as much traffic handled over this 81
mile stretch of track as over any sim
liar piece of track in the state. All of
the Colorado traffic, both freight and
passenger, as well as all of the traffic
from the south and southwest is

peka- Most of the freight traffic is

and then to Chicago thus avoiding the
congestion in the Kansas City yards.
Horton Line Nearing Completion.
The Rock Island also reports that
the work of relaying the steel be-
tween Topeka and Horton is nearing
been laid, nearly seventy-five per
cent. Already the part which has
been relaid is being ballasted and put
into condition to stand the heaviest
kind of freight traffic.
That New Fast Texas Train.
The new train between Kansas City
and Fort Worth about which so much
has been rumored during the past
few weeks, is a certainty. according
to information given out by the local
offices of the Rock Island this morn
ing.
The new train will go on November
Z, the date on which the new winter
time card of the road takes effect.
The road announces that" four hours
will be cut from the present sched-
ule between the two points. This Of
fetal announcement, following upon
the heels Of the inauguration of the
Texas, shows that competition for
traffic to this section will be I'M
usually keen this winter. The new
schedule will be approximately fifteen
hours. Inc Train Will ledN6 hdnSdS
City westbound at 4 o'clock in the af-
ternoon and pass through Topeka at
$50, reaching Fort Worth at
O'Clock the next morning. On the re-
turn trip the train will reach Topeka
about $50 in the morning and ar
rive at Kansas city about o'clock.
The new train will consist of some
of the best equipment known to the
railroad world. 1t will be all steel
throughout. Several months ago the
Rock Island gave an order for ITO
all-steel passenger coaches and the
first delivery of these will be used in
the make up of the new train The
equipment of the train will consist of
a com bination baggage and mail car,
a smoking car, chair car, standard
sleeper and observation cafe car.
The motive power for the new
train will consist of one of the Rock
Islands new Atlantic type engines,
which weigh 100000 pounds The
old type weighed $4,000. The new
engines can maintain a rate of sixty
miles an hour pulling a train OF
fifteen passenger cars, according to
the Rock Island officials. Thirty
five of these engines were ordered
year ago by the Rock Island, and are
just being delivered.
