SEW OFFICERS ELECTED Paul Morton Is Named as One of the Directors. Iiailroad News of General and Local Character. Chicag-o, June 22. The Iowa Central railroad changed hands here yesterday, representatives of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe systems assuming owner ship, and management. This is said to be the iirst of a series of steps to be ta ken towasd the greatest railway consol idation ever contemplated. It is as serted that the Southern Pacific and frianta Fe systems have combined to pre vent the Hariiman interests from gain ing too much power, yet at the same time the three systems are to work to gether for the maintenance of rates. It seems to be the conclusion of the wwxirlrw nyciCKw A it n www i i I Shoe Specials For I I Saturday! I - s t I i 3 i t I magnates of the railway world that the only way to prevent weak lines from cutting rates is to amalgamate them with the strongest systems. The idea of "unification of financial control" has rapidly developed in the east, and the indications are that It will have greater growth in the west. It seems certain that all of the little roads will be swal lowed by the bigsystems. While the latter will in time be able to enforce the main tenance of tariff rates, each will be careful to prevent any other from secur ing too great an advantage. The smaller roads in the middle west now controlled by the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe systems are the Minneap olis and St. Louis, the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, and the Iowa Central. Plans for the acquisition of other roads are progressing. It is said to be the aim of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe to prevent the extension of the Harriraan system to the Pacific coast. If this is true, there will be a lively contest for the financial control of a number of smaller lines. At the meeting here yesterday all of the directors of the Iowa Central resign ed except Russell Sage, George R. Morse, U. E. Taintor, and E. H. Per kins. Then the following were elected as directors of the Iowa Central: Edwin Hawley, vice president of the Southern Pacific" and president of the Minneapo lis and St. Louis road: George Crocker, vice president of the Southern Pacific; L. F. Day, vice president and general manager "of the Minneapolis and St. Louis; Paul Morton, vice president of the Santa Fe; T. P. Shontz, president of the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa; F. II. Davis, treasurer of the Minneapolis and St. Louis: Levi C. Wier, president of the Adams Express company: John H. Searles of the "sugar trust," and Edwin Langford. a New York banker. The leading officials of the Iowa Cen tral resigned, and in their places the following were elected: President, Kl win Hawley; first vice president, F. H. Davis; second vice president and gen eral manager, L. F. Day. For a time, at least, the independent organization of the Iowa Central will be maintained, although it will practically be operated as a part of the Minneapolis and St. Louis road, each road having the same general officers. To connect these roads it will be necessary to build a link of about 16 miles. Arrangements have been made to use temporarily the Burlington tracks connecting the roads. The Santa Fe road connects with the Iowa Central at Nemo. covered and was at work In the shop this morning. Foreman J. K.

Consul Fow W at Che Foo in a supplement to a former report to the state department from Consul General Goodno from Shanghai upon the United States trade with China, shows that in four years Irom iy-6 to 1S99, inclusive, we have doubled our sales to China. In 1S97, the value of these sales exceeded those of all continental Europe by J320.2S1; in 1808, this excess had in creased to $4,171,834. and last, year to ?(, lSl.M.t). China imported American good's i-st year to the value of $16.- ?S!,74r, and British goods to the value of $;S,Sf.6.083. five-sixths of the total importation coming from British and American territory, ar.d more than half from Great Britain alone. In the mat ter of exports, statistics show that the Lnitert States bought more of China in ISfO than any other1 country in the world, the exports last year were valued at $13.8:S,4S6, our increase of trade during the. year being ten times greater than Great Britain s for the same period. Consul Fowler strongly urges a more direct method of ship ping our goods to China. Says the consul: "Have seen but one merchant steamer under our flag (and she had no right to it) since I came to China, in February, 18:i0, ten years ago and it was seven years before I saw a sailor direct from the United States. "About one-fortieth of the foreign carrying trade of China last year was done under the United Starts flag, wh;!e more than half was under the British ensign. Germany did ten times as well as the united States. Consul Fowler concludes as follows "I c?-n see from my desk six mod ern Chinese men of war, all built in Germany or England.

Machinist Charlie Kirkhuff, who has been quite ill for several days, has re- J-Tow hard it often is to earn and maintain a good reputation, and how easy it is to lose one. As with a man's reputation, so it is with other things in life. Some things achieve a reputation which stays with them. They are founded on intrinsic value. They face the public backed up by honesty an work their way iiiietly but thoroughly. lopeka people want no better proof o the merit than is contained in the fol lowing experience of a citizen: Mr. C. T. Sehumaker, Ko. 428 Quincy !-.t., painter by trade, employed by D. O. Burns, JNo. ol3 Kansas ave.. says "I suffered -with a lame back and kid ney trouble for six months in the win ter of lSUS. and was so bad I could not sleep. Many a night I rose and sat in a chair for the balance of the night. The pain was just like a knife going tnrougn my DacK, and l cannot describ how much I suffered. I tried differen kinds of remedies, but received littl benefit until I procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Jriowiey & Snows drug store. The prompt relief they gave me was wonderful.

Philadelphia, June 22. As soon as the Republican convention adjourned the rush of visitors to get out of town be an. Within an hour after Chairman Lodge had adjourned the session every railroad station in the city was crowd ed with passengers, and the congested condition of the waiting rooms con tinued until late at night. It was fig ured by hotel men and railroad offi cials that almost 75 per cent, of the convention visitors had departed by 11 o'clock last night. Most of the strang ers still here came from the far west, and will visit other eastern cities be fore returning home. With the exception of National Chair man Hanna, all the prominent leaders in the party have departed. Senator Hanna will remain at Haverford, a su burb, until Saturday, as the guest of Clement A. Griscom, whose hospitality the Ohio senator has several times ac cepted during his stay in this city. Vice Presidential Nominee Roosevelt departed at 6 o'clock, accompanied by his wife.

There were no speeches and after the president had retired upstairs the Grand Army iiand took a station in the conservatory and played popular airs for half an hour or more. A CLOSE FIGHT. London, June 22. The morning papers make but brief references to the re nomination of McKinle;'. The Daily Express, which goes more fully into the subject than the others, discusses the relative chances of Mr. McKinley and Mr. Bryan, and concludes that there will be a closer fight this year than in 1S96. PL ATT IS SATISFIED. New York, June 22. Senator Thomas C. Piatt was seen at the Fifth Avenue hotel, and asked what he thought of the ticket nominated yesterday. He replied: "It is a very good ticket. Roosevelt will make a good run. I have grave doubts whether he would carry New Tork if he ran for governor, but there is no doubt that he will carry the state as a candidate for vice presi dent. He certainly makes a better can didate for vice president than for gov ernor." New Tork. June 22. Governor Roose velt arrived in Jersey City at 8:20 o'clock last right, and taking a cab was driven to the Union League club in ) this city, where he spent the night. Today he will go to Oyster Bay for a rest. It was said that Governor Roosevelt might, in view of his candidacy, con sider it necessary to resign the gover norship and allow Mr. Woodruff to suc ceed him. Governor Roosevelt said he had not given such a thing a single thought as yet. If he should resign it would put Mr. Woodruff in such a posi tion that he would be the logical candi date for governor.

AS MILES SEES IT. The General Thinks the Chinese Situ ation is Serious. Cleveland, O., June 22. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who came here to witness a test of the recently invented McClain ordnance, in an interview regarding the Chinese question, is quoted as say ing: "Our govenment will be prompt to act in that matter as soon as the true situation is learned. This country will be equal to the emergency, and when decisive action is taken it will be of such a character as to be effective. The trouble in China is most serious and the result is most difficult to pre- mmmi Tastes Good Does Good Feels Good Is Good PREPARED ONLY BY The Dr. J. II. McLean Medicine Co., St. ZtOuis, Mo. diet.

SHAWNEE GROCERT, 10S East Sixth St. CAUGHT BY BOOK AGENT. Topeka People Ask the Court For Is a case filed in the city court by R. J. Bodmer against John F. Mc Manus. The suit is for $29, which Bod mer claims is due him for ten volumes of "The Messages and Papers of the Presidents." A similar suit was tried several months ago in the same court, the parties to the suit being Bodmer and M. D. Henderson, and Mr. Hen derson won. The suit came- about this way: A! book agent came to town and sold Mr. McManus, and also a number of other people, what he called "The Messages and PaDers of the Presidents." The book was in ten volumes and was hand somely illustrated with steel engravings ar.d was bound in Morocco at least the sample was. It cost only $34. five paid down. When the books arrived they proved to be a very poor set in every respect and not up to the sample. The agent said he represented "the committee on distribution," composed of A. R. Spofford, W. E. Hallam, James Richardson, and R J. Bodmer. It ia the same company and the same busi ness that caused a stir in congress. Bodmer claims that he bought out the rest of the "committee" and now wants to collect the balance due on the books. Best Prescription For Malaria.
