In spite of life's trouble, say
Who sings of a bright tomorrow
Because of the clouds today.

And this is the lesson to me-

Face care with a song and T.

In an unprecedented manner was
the memory of Robert E. Lee
honored at the capitol today,
despite the opposition which de-
veloped in the senate yesterday
against an action of the United
States government toward hon
oring the Confederate general.
In statuary hall was the extra
ordinary addition to the Lee sta
tue of a huge boquet of flowers.
Those who had expected to hear
criticism on the part of the SEN
ators who opposed in the upper
house the reception Of the statue
were disappointed. The bou-
quet bore a card reading:

Attaches of the capitol decla-
red that the placing of the flowers
on statue in the hall of fame in
honor of the birthday of the man
thus commemorated, marked a
PRECEDENT.

SHIPMENTS OF FRUIT HEAVY.
In Spite of Hot Weather Railroads
Are Carrying Many Cars.

San Bernardino, Cal, July 26.-In
spite of the warm weather and that it
is midsummer, the fruit shipments are
keeping up in a remarkable manner.
The Santa Fe is carrying from 35 to
40 cars of citrus fruits and vegetables
east daily, and of this four-fifths is
fruit, the balance being potatoes and
other vegetables. Eight or ten cars
are being preceded daily at the local
plant.
1t was but few years ago that the
handling of fruit shipments would be
at an end by the first to the middle Of
June, and the railroads did not figure
on handling fruit in any quantity
after that time. Now. however, It Is
different. With large acreage of VAL
encias the shipments now keep up all
through the summer months and
there is never a time in the entire year
when the shipments do not run heavy
daily.

WINS IN TWO STRAIGHT FALLS.
III. d. Anthony Gets Decision Over
Woods in wrestling Match.

H D. Anthony, champion feather
weight wrestler of Oklahoma and
Texas, won two straight falls from
Frank Woods, a lightweight of the
northwest, at the Majestic theater last
night. Not more than a dozen adn1is-
sions were paid. -
The little fellows put up more
earnest fight than Gentleman DIR. Roll
er and the big Swede did in the Grand
and removed themselves from the
never-Sweat class of wrest1ers.
Slippery as Indians and difficult to
secure hold on, the two bodies with
ed on the mat with seemingly little adj
vantage to either. Anthony, who
weighs only 11S pounds, was much
faster than his opponent weighing 140
pounds and nearly always was the ag-
gressor. A scissors hold won him the
first fall in Is minutes. Woods became
dangerous twice in the second fall but
his hold failed on the slippery body and
the Oklahoman slid through. Again on
the aggressive, Anthony found an arm
lock and scissors hold which twisted
Woods to the mat in 915 minutes.
Anthony is looking for the champion
ship of Kansas among featherweights
or the class weighing under 40 pounds.

of the Erie railroad presented to the
Susquehanna (Pa.) Young Mems
Christian association an Erie railway
caboose which was used by Comman-
der Robert E. Peary in his arctic ex-
plorations.

one of his ships. 1t was taken ashore
at Altman Bay. Grinnell Land. and
served as headquarters and a Sleep
ing room for the commander during
the winter OF 1898 and 1899. The fol-
lowing winter it was used for the
same purpose by the commander at
Etah, North Greenland. Here 1t
reached the highest latitude to which
1t was taken, IS degrees north.
When the expedition returned it
was brought back. and Commander
Peary returned it to the Erie railroad

hibited in various towns along the
Erie system.

On the telephone method of handling
train movements
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe,
which was one of the first of the rail-
roads to take up the telephone method
or dispatching, now has the largest
mileage of telephoned tracks. When
improvements now under way are
completed, in the neighborhood of
1000 miles of telephone lines will be
used by this road alone.
An example of the care which these
western roads are putting into the
equipment of the telephone circuits
is the order for Western Electric Sc
lectors recently placed by the Santa
Re. This railroad has bought 500 of
these solicitors. which exceeds by
more than four hundred the largest
order for this kind of apparatus ever
before recorded

Hermgfon to Be Helped by Division
ReasSignment.


Harrington, Kan, July 26.-According
20 the rumors in railroad circles in
Herington the Rock Island will make
big change in the assignment of its
divisions in Kansas this fall.
1t Is reported that the Kansas di-
vision from Mcfarland to Belleville
and to the north will be changed to the
Nebraska division-that is, this dis
trict in the Kansas division will be
placed n the Nebraska territory.
furthermore 1t is said that the Kan
sas section of the Ell Paso division-the
district between Harrington and Liberal
will be reassigned to the Kansas di-
vision. This gives the Kansas division
of the Rock Island a through line from
Kansas City to Caldwell and from
Harrington to Liberal-taking in all of
the southwestern and the southern
Kansas territory of the Rock Island
into one division.
It is figured in Herington that this
will mean much to this city. At this
time Herington is the Headquarters of
Derintendent Rourke is established
here. With the Kansas division rum
ming down through Pratt into the Lib
eral territory Herington will be given
the majority of the crews and the runs
will "rest'' here.
Herington is one Of the thriving
towns on the Rock Island which has
combined the help of the railroad with
a live wire Commercial club and busi-
ness organizations and in this mannei
the city has grown to population OF
about 5000 in the last Jews years
With the reassignment of the Kansas
division in the manner mentioned above
the town will feel another throb In the
recent growth.
