OLD ENGINEER WHO PLLOTED
 FUNERAL TRAIN OF LINCOLN
 TELLS OF RAILROAD CAREER

that there might be no delay from breakdown
 Wemple worked a while for a pri- vate company which leased his engine in 1871, coming to Texas in 1S86 For two years he had the run between Texarkana and Whitesboro, which was the western limit of the Texas & Pacific Railway at that time, and in 1888 he took over switch engine in the Bonham yards, which he operated continuously until January of this year. Rheumatism then intervened and forced him to pay a visit to the home of his son here.
 NOT THROUGH RAILRoADfNe
 Wemple insists that he is by no means through railroading and that as soon as he can walk a little bet ter he will return to his throttle. And ln the meantime, if there is an engi- neer still on "active duty" who can boast longer record than his, Wem- pie would like to hear from him.
 Wemple's second wife, whom he married in 1900, was Miss Pearl Will jams, Fort Worth girl. She is with him and their son, J. N. Wemple, at this time. She is a great niece of the late w. B. Tucker, prominent in the early history of the city.
 It is far cry from the old hand brakes and unstandardized gauge of the roads on which Wemple first worked to the air-controlled monsters of steel that now pull the nations freight and passenger traffic across the continent, yet Wemple has one re- gret.
 When they chose between the vari- ous gauges of track width which then obtained, ranging from three feet to six feet, the experts decided on a width not much greater than the min imum of that day, he declares. He has recently tried to visualize the present size of rolling stock in comparison with the Rocky Mountain giants of to- day, had they adopted the six-foot gauge as the standard.
 At least it would not be necessary to hook up seven of them to one snow. play as he saw done in one New York 1 blizzard

GOLD DISCOVERY TO BE
 CELEBRATED BY CITIZENS

IDAHO SPRINGS, Col, July 2S. - Idaho Springs, nestling amid some of the highest peaks in the Colorado Rockies, will celebrate the "days of
 59" early in September, in observance of the discovery of gold in Colorado.
 For three days-September 2, 3, and 4-natives and hundreds of visitors will stage scenes familiar of the wild and woody West" of more than half a century ago, when the red shirt and high boots were in vogue, and "siX shooters" swung from the belt of every good citizen during the early rush for gold up Chicago Creek.
 With the challenge of Mayor Mos cript that q can grow 'em faster than anybody in creation" already flung to the world, many oldtimers are be- ginning to grow crop of whiskers and a suitable prize will be awarded to the best hirsutic display on Sep tember 2
 The hanging tree" where oldtime lynchings were held, will be fenced off, and the new generation will get a glimpse of how justice was quickly meted out by frontier vigilantes - with effigies for victims in the re-en- actment.
 A feature of the celebration will be an underground race, 5000 feet below the earth's surface, through gold mines that have long since been worked to exhaustion.
 Prizes of real gold-to be weighed out in the precious yellow dust itself will be awarded winners in the numer- ous races and contests to be held dur ing the three-day event.
 In 1859 George A. Jackson "pros- pected' up Chicago Creek, at a spot less than a quarter of mile from what, is now the main thoroughfare of Idaho Springs, and made the first dis covery of gold in the Centennial State. Within a week the struggling little frontier town was alive with ex- cited prospectors, gold hunters and fortune seekers. News of the discov- cry spread rapidly, and "prairie schooners" freighted with whole fami- lies came bustling into hills surround ingfi Idaho Springs. Great fortunes in gold were wrung from the noun tains in this vicinity during the next half century, and Idaho Springs is. going to renew the events of those stirring times nits celebration of the days of '59"

REMEMBERS CONFEDERATE
 PRISONERS

He was on this line when the Civil War broke out and remembers how his pity was stirred when Confederate soldiers, clad in a few rags, were loaded into box cars and shipped into the frosty north as prisoners. Close ly guarded by Union soldiers in heavy overcoats, their breaths smoking in the crisp atmosphere, they made pic ture Wemple could never forget.
 In 1863 an offer came to Wemplet to return to his old love the same branch of the New York Central on which he had worked before. It was here that he piloted the funeral train which bore Lincoln's body from Schnectady to Troy-there being no bridge at Albany at that time--on the long run from Washington tc Springfield, H., where the martyred Presidents body still rests.
 Great solemnity marked the prog reSs of the Presidential cortege, WeH'- pie relates. A pilot train ran ahead of the funeral train and cleared the way Both were heavily draped in mourning and ran at constant speed of twenty miles an hour. One of the duties of the pilot train was to stop all trains on the parallel track and make them wait until the funeral train had passed,
 At each station the bell of the en- zine tolled in proclamation and at the larger cities the train stopped to let the populace file through for glimpse of the body as 1t lay, in state, heavily guarded. Both trains carried crew of workmen and repair materials, so

Wemple, of this city. It is probable that no one will dispute the title With him when the sta cement is made that he had been a full-fledged engineer for eleven years when he piloted Lincoln's 5 funeral train over his run.
 It was in February, 1851, that Alonzo John Wemple, then lad oi seventeen, got his first taste of rail road, hauling iron and ties. getting a berth as fireman in September of the same year.

It was an exciting life.
 Engines were not numbered in those days, but bore names, after the mari time fashion Wemple's first charge was the Buffalo" There was noth ing sombre about the "iron horse" il those days either They were enliv ened with profusion of nickel anC brass work all of which was kept bur nished until it looked like a piece ot jewelry in the sunlight, and it is not un likely that the captain of the ship fell no more pride in the appearance of his craft than did the old-time engineer iN the high-stacked engine over whose i throttle he presided.
 It was in 1854 that Wemple became an engineer, on his transfer to the l Greenvile & Miami line, running from i Dayton, Ohio to Union City, Indiana distance of forty-seyen miles. Later the road was extended to Indianapolis, making the length of the line l3O miles. He remained there until March, 1855. when he went to the Illinois Gen. tral at Centralia, H., then town with about. ten houses, now city Of around 10000 population.

GRAINS AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Estimates of a
liberal surplus of supplies as com-
pared with world import requirements
had considerable influence Monday as
a bearish factor in the wheat market.
Prices closed unsettled, p to l cents
net lower, with December s1.O1B to
s1.O2 and May $1.069s to SI.O6H. Corn
lost u to q cents. oats finished un-
changed to a cents down and pro-
visions off five to 20 cents.
According to an authoritative British
source, world import needs for wheat
are about Csc, OO0,O 900 bushels, whereas
exporting countries nave available for
shipment 776, 100000 bushels. Announce
ment of these figures together with
3,S17, 900 bushels sudden increase of the
United states visible supply total, and
talk of slowness of export demand were
chiefly responsible for turning many
ing side Of the wheat market, more
than overcoming an advance which
had taken place soon after the opening
and had been based in a measure on
supposed indications of smaller re-
ceipts.
Preparations said to be under way
for g. big new domestic winter crop
acreage counted somewhat as a further
stimulus to sellers of wheat. Good
rains that had fallen over a large sec
ton of the winter wheat territory were
expected to facilitate completion OF
fall blowing and seeding, Part of the
selling here was said to be close
spreads between Chicago and Winni-
peg.
Corn and oats paralleled the action
of wheat. Reports OF frost in Iowa
and elsewhere lifted prices a little but
the effect was only transient.
Provisions lacked support except
from shorts.

lows:

New York, Sept. 1.-THE reports of
the anthracite miners returning today
and a normal coal output being expect
ed within a week coupled with other
news of a constructive character was
reflected in a firm opening, particular
ly in the rail department, but a desire
to AXE some profits soon was in evil
dence and considerable selling spread
throughout the general list. General
Motors duplicated its previous years
high accompanied by the talk of the
resumption of its dividend in the near
future. The remarks attributed to a
large Detroit manufacturer that the
demand was softening soon brought Of
ferings in the motor group and General
Motors followed the other motor stocks
headed by S~tudebaker, losing its initial
gain. In the equipment department
Baldwin and American Locomotive
registered new highs at the outset.
Around the noon period the stocks In
the equipment and steel section be-
came rather buoyant under leadership
of U. S. Steel which regis
tered a new high for the present year.
In reference to the equipments large
orders continue to be placed n in the
steel industry traders who have been
watching the latter undoubtedly feel
that the tonnage increase published
late Saturday of over It's, 900 tons is an
indication Of what is to come when diff
ficulties are at an end. In the late
dealings the domestic oil shares came
forward with a renewal OF strength fol
