President Eiplej of ,the Santa
Fe Honored in Boston.
Was CMef Guest at Chamber
of Commerce Banquet.
A SENTIMENTAL SIDE.
jlr. Bipley Worked as a Mercan
tile Clerk in That City.
Also 31;ide His Start in Eailroad
Work There.
President E. P. Ripley of the Santa
Fe was the g-uest of honor at the an
nual banquet of the Chamber of Com
merce at Boston last week. The ban
quet was an elaborate affair and some
of the most prominent men in the east
were present.
There was a sentimental side to Mr.
Ripley's visit to Boston as the guest of
the Chamber of Commerce. That city
is the birthplace of the president of the
Santa Fe and there he worked as a
hoy. His first work was in, a mercan
tile store.
It wasi in Boston that Mr. Ripley first
entered railway service. He secured
position as a clerk in The Boston office
of the Burlington road, and his connec
tion Witn mat railway system was
practically continuous until his election
to the presidency of the Santa Fe.
Mr. Ripley is looked upon as one of
the most able ana conservative rail
road managers in t'.ie country. The
prcsperuy ot the Santa Fe since he be
came its chief executive is a splendid
testimonial to nis aDiiity.
TRUE PLANTING FOE, TIES.
Experi ments Made by Santa Fe Show
Great Profits.
The division of forestry is in consul
tation with three important raiiway
companies over a contemplated innova
tion in American railway methods
These roads the Atchison. Topeka &
Santa re, the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul, and the Zanesville & Chit
are considering raising tie and pole
timber on a large scale on their now
non-utilized right-of-way lands. Other
large western roads are also interested.
This action is due chiefly to the fail
ing of the natural supply of this ma
teria! in all but the newer portions of
the United States. About one million
acres cf timber are consumed annuaily
by raiiroads in buiidings and repairing,
and. a", the present rate of timber de
pletion, the increased cost of such ma
terial win soon be a serious factor in
railroad economy. The Santa Fe line
has already done some experimental
pianting, and the results have done
much :o stimulate interest. This road
planted l."S'i acres in catalpas fifteen
years ego. The total expense was $123.
j: but it is estimated by the railroad
officials that in ten years more the tract
will hE.ve produced $2,560,000 worth of
poles, ties and posts.
Having become convinced of the
necessity of growing their own timber,
the raiiroads naturally wish to take ad
vantage of the assistance offered by the
government to tree planters which
consists of expert advice, and of the
working plans for planting, based on
personal examination. The object of
the government Is to demonstrate the
value of tree plantations to land own
ers, especially those in the treeless
regions of the west.
BOUND HOUSE FINISHED.
Rock Island Improvements in Topeka
Axe Nearing Completion.
The Rock Island's improvements in
this city are being pushed as rapidly
as possible. The round house has been
completed. The paving of the floor will
be finished within a few days.
The turn table which has been in use
on the north side will be transferred
and wi)l be placed in position in front
of the new round house. It will be
ready for occupancy this week.
The work of grading for switches is
still in progress. Already a great many
miles of switches have been laid. This
apparently is not adequate as more
track will be laid as soon as possible.
Because of a lack of space the coal
sheds have had to be built almost half
a mile west of the round house. How
ever the chute is not large and should
opportunity occur to place the chute
nearer the round house not much trou
ble would be encountered.
Y. M. C. A. SONG SERVICES.
Railroa.d Branch Stakes a Move That
"Will Likely Meet With Favor.
The Railroad T. M. C. A. has insti
tuted a weekly meeting which will be
devoted to song service. The first of
the series will be given tonight in the
Y. M. C. A. Parlors.
The programme for tonight includes a
duet by Misses Laura and Media Till
son. a solo by Miss Serena Pratt, a solo
by George W. Anderson, and songs by
the Steve's quartette.
The feature of the evening will be
the duet by Florence ar.d Alice Tucker,
two little girls about 12 years old. Alice
will play the accompaniment on the
guitar.
These song services will be continued
indefinitely. Only sacred music will be
used. It is anticipated that a lively
interest will be stirred up. and that the
services will prove a success.
IMPLEMENTS FOR KANSAS.
Many Car-Loads of Machinery Are
Coming Into the Stsfte.
That the Kansas farmer is enjoying
unusual prosperity is shown by the
amount of machinery and farming im
plements being shipped into the state.
A Rock Island freight train recently
was almost wholly composed of cars
containing farm implements. The Rook
Island is not alone in this. Large con
signments may be seen en route to
Kansas points on all the roads.
This is a red letter year in Kansas
and th? railroads expect to be kept busy
in hauling the products to market this
fail. For months past the roads have
been endeaoring to get all equipment
in as good a state of repair as possible.
When the rush commences every avail
able car will be needed.
START WORK ON ORIENT ROAD.
Grading to Be Commenced on 120
Miles South of Wichita.
Kan:as City. June 13. M. P. Paret,
chief engineer cf the Kansas City. Mex
ico & Orient road, and W. C. Edwards,
one of the directors of the Kansas &
Oklahoma Construction company, left
last night for Wichita, where they will
at once start the work of building the
120 m;!es cf track from that citv to
ward the Canadian river, this construc
tion coi
tract I'o
t Mr. E.
tion company having taken the Con
or that part of the new roadbed.
L. ilartin, of the executive
board, said yesterday it was expected
to have the grading finished, within
ninety days and that the rail3 would
be laid and the road, put in operation
from Wichita 120 miles southwest with
in six months.
Contracts have not been awarded for
other parts of the line and it is likely
nothing in this direction will be done
until the return of Mr. Etilwell from
the east.
REPUBLICANS FAVOEED.
Southwestern Roads Discriminate
Against the Democrats.
Chicago. June 13. Lines composing the
Southwestern Passenger association have
apparently made a discrimination in rates
in favor of the convention of the Repub
lican party. The association has granted
a flat one-half fare rate for the Philadel
phia meeting, while a rate of one-fare
plus $2 has been granted for the Kansas
City gathering. The lines composing the
association are: Santa Fe. Rock Island,
Gulf. Colorado & Santa Fe, Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific, Houston & Shreveport,
Missouri. Kansas & Texas, Missouri Pa
cific Port Arthur Route. 'Frisco Line.
Iron Mountain. Cotton Belt, Southern Pa
cific and iexas & Pacific.
Various reasons are assigned for the
discrimination, but so far as the ordinary
individual is concerned the explanations
do not explain.- All the Texas and south
western Democrat knows is that he will
pay $2 more in proportion for going to the
.Democratic national convention than his
Republican neighbor will pay for the
same privilege at Philadelphia. One ex
planation is to the effect that the lines in
the association have an agreement where
by no excursion rates will be made less
than ore fare plus $2. forgetting that, de
spite this fact, the open one-fare rate
was accorded the Republicans.
An attempt was recently made in the
Western Passenger association to discrim
inate in favor of the Republicans, but it
was promptly squelched by the far-seeing
officials.
LOW RATES FOR STUDENTS.
Western Roads May Declare a Rate of
One and One-Third Fare.
Chicago, June 13. College students in
Western Passenger association territory
may be able to travel to their homes and
back to school during the summer vaca
tion at reduced rates. Lines in the asso
ciation are now voting on a proposition to
grant students a rate of one and one
third fare on the certificate plan. The
proposition was submitted in response to
several requests made by persons inter
ested in western educational institutions.
It is likely that the matter will receive
favorable attention because of the fact
that there was considerable rate cutting
last summer by which several of the west
ern lines secured a large proportion of
the business of transporting students.
In order to avail themselves of the rate,
if it is granted, the students will be com
pelled to obtain certificates from the head
of the institution which they attend, and
which will certify that they are members
of that institution, and are going home on
their summer vacation. It will also state
the date when the college year begins.
HARVEST HAND DEMAND.
At Present There Are Several Men
For Each Job Offered.
Kansas City, June 13. An order for
200 harvest hands to go in a body to
Russell, Kas., was received yesterday
by Secretary George M. Foote, of the
local passenger bureau, and by him
turned over to Superintendent Howard,
of the Missouri state free employment
bureau, and Assistant Labor Commis
sioner Scott, of Kansas, who are work
ing together to secure harvest hands
for the Kansas wheat fields. The men
will be sent from here tomorrow- and
will be met at Russell by a delega
tion of farmers who need harvest
bands.
About eighty men were sent to the
harvest fields yesterday, going to
southern Kansas. The movement is ex
pected to be heavier each day from now
on, and to be very large by the latter
part of this week. There are now sev
eral men in waiting for each job offered
but by the first of next week this may
be reversed. The state labor bureau
in the Temple block has more appli
cants for work in the harvest fields
than its force is able to register, al
though it is working long hours, open
ing at 6:30 a. m.. an hour and a half
earlier than, usual.
ROCK ISLAND LOSING MONET.
Business of the Road in Nebraska
Shown to Be Unprofitable.
Lincoln, Xeb., June 13. The Chicago,
Pock Island & Pacific railroad has filed
with -the state board of transportation
a voluminous statement, covering the
movement of live stock to South Omaha
over that road from points in Nebraska
during the months of December, ls99,
to May, 1000, inclusive.
According to the statement 35 cars
of cattle, 50 cars of hogs. 1 cars of
sheep and 7 mixed carloads have been
moved, at a cost to the shipper of
S2.358.SS. The amount which would
have been collected -for the same serv
ice under the carload rate, the report
says, is 52.S75.51, making what is termed
a "net decrease on account of the
change of rate basis" of $16. 6S.
George H. Crosby, secretary of the
same railroad, has also filed with the
board a sworn statement to prove that
the business of the road in Xebraska is
very unprofitable.
According to Mr. Crosby's statement,
the total operating expenses in Ne
braska during 1S&9 were $1,016,679.29.
During the same year the gross earn
ings are given as follows:
Passenger earnings 1208,242.15

Nebraska Corn Crop.
General Freight Agent H. H. Embry
and General Attorney M. A. Low of the
Rock Island have returned from a bus
iness trip to Lincoln, Nebraska. Mr.
Embry states that along the line he
has been informed that the best crop
of corn grown for years will be gathered

WILL HIRE A HALL.
A. L. Williams Says He Will Publicly
Discuss Paving Delays.
A. L. Williams says he will hire the
Grand opera house to tell the people
of Topeka how they are being imposed
upon by the city council and the pav
ing contractors. He left Tuesday for
Quincy. 111., with is family, but will
return this week
Mr. Williams lives on Fillmore street
and the contract for paving in front of
his place w as awarded to John. Ritchie
last October.
The grading has not been completed.
It will require at least two weeks of
hard work before the street is in shape
for the paving. Fillmore street, where
the graders had been at work, presented
a far from pleasing appearance yester
day. Mr. Williams waxed eloquent in
describing the trials and tribulations of
the taxpayers who have put up the
money to pay for street improvement.
Mr. Williams said the work had been
delayed in many ways that were un
avoidable and also in many ways that
might have been avoided.
One cause of delay in the work has
been the constant trouble with labor
ers. Then, according' to Mr. Williams,
the big grader seemed to break down
when the men had decided to work, and
between the grader and the labor
troubles the residents on the street
have become exasperated, their pa
tience has been exhausted, and they
will demand that something be done.
ANOTHER PROPOSAL.
L P. Campbell Will Withdraw if
Duvall WilL
I. P. Campbell of Wichita, has offered
to withdraw, as the Populist nominee for
congress in the Seventh district, if Mr.
Duvall will do the same thing, thereby
opening the way for the nomination of a
new candidate for congress. In a. long
letter to Mr. Duvall, Campbell, among
other things, says:
"I today place my resignation, and decli
nation, as the nominee for congress of the
Populist party in the Seventh congres
sional district, in the hands of the Popu
list committee of said district, with the
request that the same be accepted by such
committee when the Democratic commit
tee of the Seventh district receives from
you and accepts a like resignation and !
declination. This is to be done within
the next fifteen days.
"This places the matter wholly within
your power. If you conclude to hand to
your committee your resignation and de
cline to be the nominee, then my resig
nation takes effect. If you conclude not
to do so, they my resignation and declin
ation is to oe returned to me without ac
tion by the committee.
"I have thought seriously of tendering
my resignation unctualihedly and without
the conditions attached to it as above and
would do so but for the fact that ft is my
belief that nine-tenths of the Populists
in the district and fully one-half of the
Democrats are opposed to my doing so.
i have received hundreds or protests
against my doing so. and am very con
fident that such action would result in
very great dissatisfaction and at the
same time would subject me to severe
criticism.
"If I should resign absolutely It would
leave my party without a nominee and
without an opportunity to choose one un
trammeled by your Democratic nomina
tion, and you would be made the nominee
in a measure by my action and not by the
action of the Popojfst party. If we both
resign the field w-iB be clear and the privi
lege and resions:oility will be upon the
people and not upon us to select a can
didate. "I make this, to me. great sacrifice, ac
tuated by no bitterness or ill will toward
you, for I have only feelings of good will
and kindness, but I do it solely with the
hope and desire that success may come
to my cause and my party. Yours very
respectfully."

. MONEY IS PLENTY.
Secretary Gage Says Stringency Etas
Disappeared.
New York, June 13 Secretary Gage
was asked, says a Washington special
to the Herald, if he would continue
withdrawing government funds from
national depositories, and if this action
meant that the money stringency had
disappeared.
"These funds." said he, "will be with
drawn from the depositories in propor
tion to the amounts deposited until $25,
000.0rt0 has been turned into the treas
ury for the purpose of paying for the
two per cent, bonds which wiil be re
deemed shortly. Yes. this is a sign
that the money stringency has disap
peared, but a still better one is the fact
that money is plentiful in New York
at 1 per cent.
"I cannot tell whether any more than
$2.".OOO.Oi0 will be called in. If the con
dition of the treasury requires it this
w ill be done. No. I cannot say whether
any of the special depositories will be
abolished. There is one thing certain,
it is not the intention of the depart
ment to take any of the money out of
these depositories and place it in the
vaults of the treasury where it will do
no one good. It will be left where it is,
if reeded.
If conditions demand and it becomes
necessary more money will oe piacea
in these institutions during the fall.
when the movement of the crops be
gins and a great deal of money is need
ed for that purpose."
BECK AN EDITOR.
Colored Populist Leader Revives Col
ored Citizen.
The Colored Citizen, a weekly paper
published in the interest of reform
among the negroes of Kansas, has beeii
revived under new management. CoL
James Beck.who organized the Twenty-
third Kansas regiment and led it to
Cuba during the Spanish war. will be
the manager; P. C. Thomas will be the
editor and G. W . Jones, associate editor.
The paper will give loyal support to
Mr. Bryan for president and John W.
Brtidenthal for governor. If Col. Beck
throws the same energy and good judg
ment into the new enterprise that
marked his career in equipping Gover
nor Leedy's negro regiment, the paper is
bound to be a success.
Col. Beck said today: "The paper
will maintain at all times a bold and
fearless attitude for what it conceives
to be the best interests of the negro
race. Believing that the policies and
practices of the present state and na
tional administrations are destructive
of the best interests of the people, white
and black alike, cur paper will do all
that it can to accomplish their over
throw. We will be for Bryan and
Breidenthal first, last and all the time."
