NO EXTENSIONS PLANNED.
Illinois Central VIII Not Add to

Hyannis, Mass, Sept. 49,. T.
Harahan, president of the Illinois Cen
trail, says that the Illinois Central is

mileage during the coming year. eff
the Hartman railroads are extending

Mr. Harahan. "Any new railroads
that are built will only have

busy all the time-you can wager on
this.
Dolley has plenty of trouble on his
hands right now over the guaranty of
deposits muddle and there are rocks
ahead, but then Jackson is in the
same mire with the bank commission
err on this question, and even deeper,
for the attorney general has filed
suit in the supreme court accusing
the bank commissioner and state
treasurer of neglect of duty in the en-
forcement of the law. and this suit
gives every promise of causing him
some anxiety before long. 1t is the
opinion of many experienced and I'M
prejudiced attorneys that the institu-
ton of this suit was a foolish step and
will in the end react against those
who started it.
Anyway, William Penn and the In
dian chief were good friends, and they
slept side by side with their eyes open
for many moons. for both of them
coveted the land which now consti-
tutes the state of Pennsylvania, and
it was written that only one of them
should occupy this land.

lor Frank Strong of the University of

animation will be held in Lawrence

Oxford since the inauguration of the
scholarship. Earl w. Murray was the
first to represent the state, and he is

RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Road Will Net Run
Fast Mail to Pacific.
Recent Offer Made to Postal De-
partment Is Withdrawn.
NAIL WAR is STILL ON
Great Northern and Burlington
Fighting in Northwest.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

| Chicgo, Sept 1S.-The management OF
the Sauta F'e railroad has withdrawn
its offer to the government to put on
q fast mail train to run between Kan
sas City and Les Angeles in 80 hours
which was to have been a reduction
of ten hours in the present schedule.
This action was taken without explana-
ton and leaves the fast mail situation
uncertain.
| Officials of the road are reticent but
admit that the proposition in the form
in which 1t was made has been with
drawn. Nc information can be obtain
ed through the postoff1cs department
here because of orders from Washing
ton.
George T. Nicholson. vice president
of of the road, says that the fast mail
problem was not yet solved. He init
mated that the Santa Fe had another
move order contemplation, but refused
to give an inkling of its character.
Mr.. Nicholson. however, admitted
that the postofice department had re-
fused to do for the Santa Fe all that
had been demanded in return for a cut
of ten hours in the mail service be-
tween the Missouri river and southern
California. 1t is insisted. however, that
the government is anxious to avail it
self of faster mail schedule If it can
be done.
One rumor is to the effect that the
Southern Pacific and the Rock Island
arrangements were able to bluff out"
the Santa F'e and make the latter drop
its intention of cutting the fast mail
time.
1t developed at the conferences which
we're held that he management of the
Santa Fe purposed making the new
fast train a strictly mail and express
train westbound. but desired to run it
carrying mail. In this way the COM
pany hoped to get the mail from the
Rock Island westbound and to capture
the mail from the Southern Pacific
eastbound.
Officials of the Southern Pacific as
spred the Santa F'e management that
they would protect their interests east
bound by putting on a train for mail
and express which would run faster
than anything the Santa Fe had pro-
posed.
The Burlington and the Great North
ern have abandoned their purpose of
running a new fast mail train between
Chicago and Seattle in 62 hours, pro-
vided the government will give them
all the mails which would be delayed
if they did not go on that train. The
Great Northern has sent representa-
tive to Washington to urge the gov
eminent to accede to the request of the
road with respect to mall tonnage.

NEW SANTA FE LINE.
Extension of Line South to Clovis Now
Seems Likely.

Seems Likely.
Clovis, N. M, Sept. 1S.-That Clovis
is to become the south terminal of a
new road of the Santa Fe is now an
assured fact. o. L. Owen, secretary
of the chamber of commerce of this
city and an old railroad man himself,
has just received a letter from a Mr..
Stewart, the engineer sent from the
office of the chief at Chicago some ten
days ago to ascertain if it was practi-
cal to build through Tucumcari, from
this city, a road whose ultimate des-
tiLation should be the coal fields of
southern Colorado and nothern New
Mexico.
In this letter Mr.. Stewart advises
that he will be at Clovis no later than
the last of this week, to begin with his
crew work on the regular survey out
of this city toward Tucumcari, and
asks Mr.. Owen to look out for a good
cook and necessary teams The two
cities of clovis and Tucumcari have
agreed to pay as a bonus to the Santa
Fe $4,000 each and give some right
of way if the road will be put through
upon which the Santa F'e is basing its
operations now. It is the purpose of
the Santa Fe people. so says Mr.. Stew
art, to make this new line one of the
best in the southwest, and 1T will be
ever this route that much of the fuel
Is expected that this new road to the
rorthwest, and the one now under
construction from Coleman, Texas, will
enter this city about the same time.
There is much rejoicing here over
the recent decision of the high officials
of the Santa Fe railroad, and as a re-
suit, real estate values are now climb
ing as they have at no time even since
the announcement of the county seat
location last spring.

AGED PHYSICIAN KILLED.
DR.. William Porter of Beloit Fell From
7O-Foot Windmill Tower.

t.
70-Foot Windmill Tower.
Beloit, Kan, Sept. 1S.-An accident
cost the life Of DR.. William Porter, lie
of Mitchell county's oldest and most
respected residents. He died yesterday,
some twenty hours after falling from a
windmill tower on his farm in Center
township.
Mr.. Porter although 70 years of aga,
still took an active interest in the farm
work and went out to oil the windmill.
Nothing was thought of his absenc e
from the house until supper time, when
one Of his sons went out to look for
him. He found the old gentleman lying
unconscious on the ground about TWEEN
ty feet from the windmill, an oil can by
his side.
Later he regained consciousness and
was able to recognize the members of
the family and neighbors, but his al
tempt to explain the accident was in
coherent. 1t is probable that while on
the windmill platform he was seized
with dizzy spell such as he was sub
ject to at times, and fell headlong TO
the ground thirty feet below.
The attending physician found tha-
one hip was broken, the elbow and
shoulder were severely bruised, and
probably internal injuries caused death.
