purchase by the Illinois Central, of the
Central Railroad of Georgia. was an
nounced today by J. r. Hanson. presi-
dent of the Georgia road.
Il. H. Hartman. who controls the IL
linois Central, wanted the Georgia road
in order to give the Illinois Central
an entrance into Atlanta. and through
trunk line to the Atlantic Ocean.
During the panic of 1908 he began
to acquire control of the road. and la
ter cinched II, with the result Of the
present purchase.
President Harahan, Of the Illinois
Central. has Just left this city for the
West to arrange for the physical trans
Ter of the property Of the Central Oh
Georgia. Control was secured In No
vember, 1907. by z. H. Hartman, and
It has been understood that II was his
intention ultima ELY to transfer 1t to
the Illinois Central.
The price paid by Mr.. Hartman for
the stock to the par value Of $4,000
900, was, 1t Is stated, 100000, or at
the rate of $50 per share.
The transfer of the Central OF Geor-
gia carries with 1t the control of two
steamship lines, one from Savannah to
New York and the other from Savan-
nah to Boston, operated by the Ocean
Steamship Company. The Central of
Georgia operates little over 1900
miles of road. It's system touches that

johnson, aged 70, of this city, doesn't
find a wife it will not be his fault, for
he is making an energetic effort in
that direction. During the past year he
has sent seven dozen of his pictures
"a photograph s-to lonesome widows
and lovesick maids throughout the
country with whom he has raked up
correspondence through matrimonial
agencies.
Some of Johnson's friends year
ago rescued him from conspirators
tolls in willy plan to cheat him out
of money. They discovered that a
man named Hamsher of Kansas City
was preparing to get Johnson into a
trap. Hamsher worte letters to john
son over his wifes' signature in which
he professed ardent love for johnson
and asked for money Johnson had
paid $500 for the love when his neigh

ARE AFTER THE HOG CHOLERA.
Vaccine to Be Distributed From State
Agricultural College.

Manhattan, kan, Sept. 9.-Work
will soon be begun on the new build
ing on the old college farm about two
miles west of the city, which is to be-
come the government distributing
point of Kansas for the hog cholera
vaccine, the remedy adopted by the
government for this dread disease
among swine. The college experiment
station will be in full charge of this
station. The vaccines to be distributed
will be made at the station according
to the government formulas.
The building and equipment will be
put up at the expense of the govern
ment, but the vaccine distributed will
be charged for at the rate of the cost
to prepare it, this being the same plan
used in distributing the gopher poison
which has been going on for num-
Der of years.
This station will also be used for
carrying on the experiments with horse
serum as hog cholera cure. These
experiments have been carried on for
some time by DR.. King, of the bacter-
io1ogy department., and have attracted
considerable attention throughout this
and other states of the middle west.

San Bernardino, Cal, Sept. cit is
now expected that 10 days or two

The ballasting of the line between

The completion of the work now in
progress in this district will mean an

Officials Show Appreciation for Keep
ing Engines Out of the Shops.
Newton, Kan, Sept. 9.-In these days
when everybody is taking rap at the
together without justification, it is re-
freshing to bring to light some of the
kindly acts of these big and so-called
"soulless corporations" toward their
employees.
A few days ago the master mechanic
here received a telegram from General
Manager Kouns, of the western lines,
asking to be advised the name of the
engineer who had kept his engine our
of the shop the greatest length of time
in other words, which engine had
made the most miles between shop
pings for general repairs. The records
had carried off the honrs on the west
ern division, his engine having made,
in round numbers, 100000 miles. I'm
agine Mr.. Walthours surprise to re-
ceive letter from Mr.. Kouns compli-
menting him highly on the enviable
record he had made. But there was
more than praise in the letter. 1t col
tained a check for $14S, the amount It
his average earnings for the past
twelve months, accompanied by the
supplementary information that as
soon as he could be relieved he should
ask for transportation for himself and
dependent members of his family to
any point on the Santa Fe system and
that he would be granted a leave of alb
sence for thirty days and be paid for
the time he was off.
Engineer H. A. Pearson, who runs
between here and Topeka, carried Off
the honors among the middle division
men, his engine making $4,000 miles
between shoppings. His average earn
ings for the past twelve months had
been $40 and he has received a check
for that amount together with the same
promise of a leave of absence for thirty
days under pay. His letter came from
General Manager Hurley of the eastern
lines.
This seems to be a continuation of
the merit system instituted some years
ago by the Santa F'e and which is being
ployes in all branches of the service. 1t
gives the employees an incentive to put
forth their very best efforts, as they
know there is substantial reward or
bonus awaiting them.

U. p. TO GIVE MORE SERVICE.
Salina Hears Reports of Additional
Passenger Train

Salina Hears Reports of Additional
Passenger Train.
Salina, Kan, Sept 9.-According to
a number of railroad employees the
Union Pacific is arranging for bet
ter service on the Lincoln branch.
Just the nature of the change cannot
be said but it is believed that an ex-
ira week day passenger and a Sun
day train are among the improve
mentS.
Railroad officials have been making
careful calculations of the business
on the Lincoln branch and the
checkings each month are being com
pared. According to the report, the
new service should begin about
December 5. This will certainly be
good news for people along the Lin
coin branch for they have been
clamoring for better service and there
is no question but that the yare en-
titled to it. A few days ago a rail-
road man from Pennsylvania was
visiting in Salina. He was standing
at the Union Pacific north depot
when the Lincoln branch passenger
train pulled in. He watched the big
crowds unload. Good heavens" he
said to a Union reporter, you people
in the west must have a knack of
loading passenger coaches that we in
Pennsylvania know nothing about.
How on earth do they get that crowd
in those three coaches % And this
is a question that many people are
asking.

BUSINESS rs HEAVY.
Terminal Railroad Official Saws Pros
peritY Has Fully Returned

Denver, Colo, Sept. e.-The best
business barometer in the United
States points to a big increase in
business and the full return of pros
perity to all of the middle western
section of the country, according to
I. L. Burlingame, general Superin-
tendent of the Terminal Railroad as
ISOLATION of st. Louis, who is in Den
yer. The Terminal Railroad associa-
ton handles all of the business of
twenty seven railroads operating into
st. Louis and is therefore in a
position to judge better than any other
single company as to the real con-
ditfons of the country.
The company is now handling
about 10000 freight cars and $50 pas
senger trains each day, which is a
big increase over last year, but it is
not yet quite up to the figures for
1907. Mr.. Burlingame states that
prosperity is returning gradually, as
revealed by the figures of his COM
pany, and that it is destined to con-
tinue.

DRAUGHTSMEN NEEDED.
Shortage of Engineers Reported All
Over the Country.

over the Country
There is a great shortage of en-
cheering draughtsmen at the present
time. Young engineers seem to have
drifted into other occupations dur
ing the last two years to a consider
able extent. At the same time, mu-
inequalities, architects and various
corporations have greatly increased
the demand, SO that the return of
activity in manufacturing is just now
providing many more places than
there are competent men. Perhaps
the greatest demand Is in connection
with structural work: and the
largest establishment in that line is
making strenuous efforts to secure
more such men. It offers excellent
opportunity for acquiring variety of
experiences and for promotion in its
own service as far as possible and
into the service of other companies.
Railways which are increasing their
equipment are also finding difficulty
in securing mechanical draughtsmen.
The prospects for the oncomfng crop
of graduates of engineering schools
is exceedingly bright.

nation and instruction.
LESSONS FOR THE MEN
All Will Be Helped Who Have
Ambitions to Advance.
Other Items Of Interest in
Railway Circles.

The Unicn Pacific Railroad company
on September 1st. established a new
department which promises to be of
great practical utility in improving the
standard of service of employees. The
new department is called the Educa-
tional Bureau of Information, D. c.
Bell is chief of the bureau and c. w.
Sewer IS his assistant. The bureau
headquarters is at Omaha. The cir
cular giving the particulars of the plan
of the new bureau is in part as fol-
lows:
F'irst-To assist employees to assume
greater responsibilities.
Second-TO increase the knowledge
and efficiency of employees.
Third-To prepare prospective en-
ployes for the service.
The privilege of using this bureau
is open to all departments and en-
ployes free of any charge, the COM
pany maintaining the bureau for the
benefit of the entire service.
The work of the bureau will be
controlled by a board of supervisors,
consisting of the following officers of
the company:
Vice president and general manager.
Freight traffic manager.
General superintendent.
Chief engineer
superintendent motive power and
machinery.
An advisory board, consisting of
employees selected from the various de-
partments, will act with the chief of
the bureau in handling all questions
relating to their respective depart
mentS.
The bureau will offer any employe
desiring to qualify himself to assume
greater responsibilities, a course of
reading and study along the line which
he may indicate. This course will be
conducted somewhat on the method
OF now existing correspondence schools,
and will be prepared with special ref
erence to the needs of the particular
case. This course need not necessarily
be confined to the particular work of
the department with which the employee
is connected, but may embrace any
subject the knowledge of which
may be of value to the employee in the
position now occupied. or which would
help to qualify the employee to change
positions to q lire of work which would
be more nearly suited to the ambition
Or desire.
An employee taking up a special line
OF work o. this kind must show his
interest in 1t by doing a reasonable
amount Of reading or studying Other
wise the company will not be justified
in continuing the expense of maintain
ing the employe on its student rolls
