Santa Fe Will.Use Oil More Ex
tensively as Fuel.
All Engines in California to be
Made Oil Burners.
USE 720,000 BARRELS.
This Amount at Least Will be
Consumed Each Year.
$25,000 Will he Spent In
Equipping Locomotives.
Los Angeles, July 7. The Santa Fe
Railway company, which was the pio
neer consumer of California oil as fuel
in large quantities, thus making it pos
sible for the oil industry to reach its
present local importance, has decided to
further increase and practically double
its consumption.
Arrangements for the proposed change
are now being rushed to completion, and
by October 1 every engine on the system
between Needles on the east and on the
north for the entire length of the line to
Point Richmond, will be equipped for
and will burn oil.
The announcement made on the sub
ject today at Santa Fe headquarters in
this city la the mdst important in the
oil industry of the city, as the new
move will, it Is estimated, almost dou
ble the company's oil fuel now being
used. The present amount is in round
figures about 30,000 barrels a month.
When the engines between Barstow
and Needles are burning oil the amount
used is expected not to fall short of 60,
000 barrels a month.
The company began burning oil
about six years ago. The coal fuel was
first discarded on a few engines on some
of the Southern California lines. The
experiment proved a success from the
start, and as fast as it could be done
the company enlarged its capacity. The
discovery of oil near Bakersfield and in
the Fresno fields, came at an opportune
time, and when the San Joaquin valley
line became a part of the Santa 5 e
system, the operators who had uncover
ed and had corralled the oil deposits in
that vicinity found that they had an
easy market at their door. The Santa
Fe has since January 1 been burning
oil on all of its engines between Bakers
field and Point Richmond, in addition
to using oil between Los Angeles so far
east as Barstow.
It will cost the Santa Fe $23,000 or
more to equip its engines between Bar
stow and Xeedles for oil burning pur
poses, and the company has just con
tracted for the erection of three steel
storage tanks for the storage of its
supplies of oil. One of these tanks, each
of which will hold 250,000 gallons, will
b located at Needles, one at Barstow
and one at Point Richmond. The com
pany is now pumping from its own
wells in the Fullerton field about 300
barrels of oil a day. As has already
been stated, about 60,000 barrels will be
needed after October 1, and all of this
amount will have to be purchased in the
open market. The contracts for this
enormous supply are now being per
fected and will soon be let.

REMAINS OF THE "MIDGET."
Nothing Has Been Done With the
Engine Since the Explosion.
In one of the stalls of the Santa Fe
round house in this city there stands
the trucks of a small car with a large
boiler or tank resting on them. The
tank is not inclosed at either end. It
is the remains of the engine termed
the "Midget." It was Intended that
this engine be used for light work
around the round house and its motive
power was to be compressed air. Since
the fatal explosion when the ends were
blown out of the tank and two men
were killed, nothing has been done
towards rebuilding the engine.
It is given out, however", that the en
gine will be rebuilt, but not until new
plans have been perfected. This will
probably be within the course of six
weeks or two months.
Santa Fe Fuel Contract.
The bids for the contract of handling
fuel for the Santa Fe have not been op
ened. This matter was turned over to
Mr. Player, and because of his absence
from the city the matter has not been
taken up. Mr. Player returned today
but it is thought he will not get to this
matter this afternoon. It will probably
be finally settled Monday. The new con
tractor will take charge of the otSce on
July 15.
Delegates on a J unket
A party of visiting eastern delegates
to the national Democratic convention
which adjourned yesterday, passed
through Topeka last evening over the
Rock Island. A special train of Pull
mans was chartered by the party and it
was run as the first section of No. 9.
which leaves Topeka at S:10. The party
will go to Colorado where considerable
time will be spent in sightseeing before
they return to their homes in the east.
Farewell to J. H. Banker.
The members of the bridge and build
ing department and water service, who
were in the city yesterday, called at the
home of Mr. Banker in the afternoon,
prior to his departure for the south, and
presented him with a handsome ring on
which was engraved a Masonic emblem.
The presentation speech was made by
Robert Collins, and was replied to by
Mr. Banker. It is a handsome token
of tire esteem in which he is held by
those In his - employ, and Mr. Banker
will treasure It highly. A social hour
was spent by those in attendance after
the presentation ceremonies were over.
Mr. Banker left for Cleburne last night.

Re-Icing California Fruit
The work of re-icing fruit in transit
from California to the east over the
Santa Fe has grown to larger propor
tions than usual. About 200 tons of ice
Is used per day. The orange and lemon
season is nearly over, but the northern
California peaches and plums and other
fruits are beginning to pass through

and stopped at Argentine. This week
it is in Marceline. Frank "McManamy,
a representative of the school, is in the
city making preparatory arrange

M. C. Todd of Topeka and Ray Heivly,
a former Kansan employe, are now
identified with the store department of
the Santa Fe under the supervision of
C. R. Kmsey. This department is get
ting to be a busy place since the con
solidation of the two divisions, which
necessitated the additional help.
S. A. Fulgroat, one of the popular
brakemen employed by the Santa Fe,
met with a serious accident on the
Fourth, which will probably result in
the loss of a portion of two and possibly
three fingers of his left hand. At the
time of the accident he was attempting
to ignite the fuse of a cannon cracker
when a premature explosion took place,
and before he could throw the cracker
from him, his hand was badly lacer
ated. The accident occurred in Hal

Senator Overpowered by TIce
Presidential Situation.
Pleads With SilTer Republican
Convention For Moderation.
TOWN'S OWN PARTY
Finally PreTailed Upon Not to
Nominate Him.
Whole Matter is Turned Orer
to the Committee.
Kansas City, July 7. Two minutes
after Chairman Brown called the Silver
Republican convention to order at 3:30
yesterday afternoon the convention
vented its feeling concerning the nom
, ination of Stevenson by howling down
Delegate Lewis of Nebraska. "I be-
, lieved this morning it was our plain
duty to nominate Bryan and Towne,"
he said, "but I believe now it is our
plain duty to endorse Bryan and Steven
son." A perfect storm of groans and
protests arose from the delegates, many
or tnem stanaing on their chairs.
No, never," "sit down," "rats," they
shouted and Mr. Lewis was finally com
pelled to take nis seat.
Senator Ransom of Nebraska gained
, the floor, and in an eloquent speech
pleaded for moderation. "We came here
as patriots, he said, "while we have
met with a great disappointment yet we
must be sober, sensible and must act
wisely."
Senator Ransom proceeded at some
length in this strain, but finally he, too.
was interrupted by the Impatient dele
gates.
"What do you favor?" asked one del
egate. "Tell us now."
"I favor the nomination of Towne,"
said Senator Ransom, "but let us not
act until -we hear from him. He will be
here soon.
Webb McNall of Kansas was then
recognized. "It is not necessary to go
outside of our party for a vice presi
dent," said he amid shouts of approval.
"Do you gentlemen want the tail of the
Cleveland administration? Do you be
lieve it good judgment?" The hall fair
ly trembled from the storm of "noes."
"Nominate Charley Towne." veiled a
delegate. Amid much confusion and
the pounding of the chairman's gavel
Mr. McNall shouted, "I move that
Charles A. Towne be declared the un
animous choice of the convention."
"I second the motion," shouted a dozen
delegates at once.
"Wait, gentlemen," exclaimed Senator
Teller springing to his feet. "We want
some calm deliberation."
"We have had it for three days," in
terrupted a delegate.
"No man living should stand in the
way of this cause," continued Senator
Teller. "I believe this contest Involves
the life of the republic, a contest for
liberty, for the existence of free govern
ment. Let us wait; let us wait until we
hear from Mr. Towne."
"Senator Teller, I would as soon vote
for a black snake as for Stevenson," in
terrupted a Nebraska delegate. Cheers
and hisses greeted this remark.
"Don't, gentlemen," pleaded Senator
Teller. "Be moderate."
With his voice betraying deep emo
tion Senator Teller said: "I am going
to support Mr. Bryan and the ticket in
every way I can, not for Mr. Bryan,
but for the country which I so love,"
and then Senator Teller with tears
streaming from his eyes took his seat.
- W. T. Foster gained the floor and in
sisted upon the chair putting the ques
tion. During the confusion resulting.
Charles A. Towne entered the hall and
in an instant the hall was in an up
roar. Cheer after cheer went up and
flags and handkerchiefs were waved by
the excited delegates. Towne was Im
mediately surrounded by those on the
stage.
"Mr. Towne, we want to nominate
you," said an Indiana delegate.
"I don't want you to do it." said Mr.
Towne. "I understand what my duty
is in this matter."
"We must insist on it," put In an
other delegate. "You have no right to
refuse. You will break us to pieces."
Mr. Towne, pale-faced, but deter
mined, shook his head emphatically.
"Please give him a chance to be
heard." shouted Chairman Brown, and
the delegates one by one took their
seats.
Mr. Fleming, a delegate from New
Jersey, mounted the platform and de
manded recognition. He regretted to
say that the proposed conference be
tween a representative from the Popu
list party and one from the Silver Re
publican party with a representative of
the Democratic national convention had
not been held, and for himself he be
lieved that it was the duty of the con
vention to go on and complete the
ticket by nominating Charles A. Towne
for vice president. Mr. Fleming then
gave way to Mr. Towne.
."The Silver Republicans have made
a good fight," said Mr. Towne. "They
have been defeated. But," he said, "it
Is your duty to support the ticket nomi
nated by the national Democratic con
vention." He insisted that there was
an issue In the coming election which
towers above men, and he implored the
convention to look at it as he did. He
begged them to remember that Bryan
was still at the head. The platform of
the Democratic party was almost iden
tical, at least in principle, with the
platform of the Silver Republican
party. While Mr. Towne was speak
ing several attempts were made to in
terrupt him with questions. The con
vention howled down these attempts
until Mr. Towne yielded to the ques
tions, after which Mr. Towne again In
sisted that it was his wish that the
convention should not nominate him.
The convention gave Mr. Towne most
respectful consideration, and while he
was speaking it was evident that the
convention was disposed to follow Mr.
Towne's advice and wishes.
By a practically unanimous vote the
convention referred the vice presiden
tial nomination to the national com
mittee with plenary power, and at 5:22
p. m. the convention adjourned sine die.
ENDORSE STEVENSON.
Silver Republican Committee Futs
His Name on the Ticket.
Kansas City, July 7. The conference
of the representatives of the fusion par
ties developed a peculiar situation in
some respects. The Democrats were
anxious for the withdrawal of Towne
from the Populist ticket, and the Silver
Republicans, that, so far as they were
concerned, they would, through their
committee, name Stevenson for vice
president, although profoundly disap
pointed that Towne was not named by
the Democratic convention. The Popu
lists were not In favor of the with
drawal of Towne and maintained that
the Populist national convention, act
ing under instructions of the Sioux
Falls convention, would be compelled
to put another candidate in the field
if Towne should withdraw and that the

Congressman Sheppard uses Peruna in his family, and saya:
'I bave used Peruna in my family and found it to be a
most excellent remedy for ail catarrhal complaints."
Mr. W. W. Strasler, 35 N. Center
street, Corry, Pa., says: "I tried three
physicians and spent a great deal of
money, all to no effect. My friends said
I could not get well. I had about given
up all earthly hopes. I weighed 130
pounds. I aceidenatlly saw the name
Peruna. I immediately commenced tak
ing it and continued taking it until I
had taken twelve bottles. I then weigh
ed ISO pounds, and never felt better in
my life. I am a walking monument of
the virtues of your Peruna."
In a later letter he says: "l am a
friend of Peruna. I should have said
Peruna is a friend of my personal de
light. I take great pleasure in telling
the public the benefit 1 nave received
committee could not withdraw him.
More than this they asserted that if
Towne be withdrawn and they should
not nut another man in his place their
organization would be endangered and

going over to the middle-of-the-road
ticket nominated at Cincinnati. This
would lessen the chances of carrying
states in the west and inter-mountain
country.
It was also said that Mr. Bryan had
been apprised of the situation and that
se'eral men had receivea wora irau
him to keep Towne m the field ana to
run a double-tailed ticket in oraer to
hold the Populist and Silver Republi
cans in the western states. The fact
that a number of senatorships depended
upon the success of the fusion of all
forces was given as a reason why the
Populist ticket should be kept in the
field. It was claimed by the Populists
that two senators in Nebraska, one in
South Dakota, one in Kansas, one in
Colorado, and, possibly in Wyoming,
depended upon perfect fusion of the
three forces. The . Populists made a
plea for delay, saying that thirty days
from now they would have an opportun
ity to confer with their people, and the
conditions which might make necessary
the withdrawal of Towne or his reten
tion would be then better understood.
When the conference broke up no
conclusion had baen reached, the Popu
lists and Silver men going back to their
respective national committees with the
understanding that the three commit
tees should be renewed in the morning.
Whatever the outcome as to the vice
presidency, it was decided at the con
ference that the parties work in har
mony so far as possible in every state
and congressional district. An advis
ory committee of three members from
each of the three parties was appointed
and this committee, wherever possible,
work to effect fusion on state and con
gressional tickets.
A meeting of the Silver Republican
national committee was held immed
iately after the close of the conference,
and at the end of a brief discussion it
was voted unanimously to place Adlai
E. Stevenson in nomination for vice
president and to co-operate in every
way with the Democratic party for the
success of the ticket. No opposition to
this action was made by members of
the committee, the debate being solely
on the question as to the best time to
take such action. It was finally decided
that delay would result in no good and
Stevenson was accordingly placed on
the ticket, the committee having power
to do this by action of the convention.

FROST JHE MAN.
Likely to be Head of the Kansas
Exposition.
F. D. Coburn Says His Decli
nation is Final.
TALKS ABOUT PLANS.
People HaTe Not Grasped Magni

Work of Advertising Should
be Commenced at Once.
Mr. John E. Frost, formerly land com
missioner of the Santa Fe, will undoubt
edly be named as president of the Kan
sas Exposition association, which will
have the handling of the big semi-centennial
celebration in 1904. Secretary F.
D. Coburn, of the state board of agri
culture, who was named for the place
at the last meeting of the board of di
rectors, and declined, stated today that
under no circumstances would fce recon
sider his action, at the same time an
nouncing that he favored Mr. Frost for
the place.
When Mr. Coburn declined at the last
meeting Mr. Frost was suggested for
the executive office, but he refused to
allow the suggestion to be carried out
in-the hope that Mr. Coburn would fol
low Governor Roosevelt's example. Mr.
Coburn Is now acting as temporary
president, but a permanent oflicer will
likely be chosen at the next meeting of
the directors.
"I am too loyal to the project to think
for a minute of accepting the office,"
said Mr. Coburn today. "It is a place
of great prominence and trust, and the
man who is placed there must be In a
position to devote practically his entire
attention to the work. There are a thou
sand different ways in which he will
have to employ his time and energy,
and the work of the office here requires
my exclusive attention. To my mind Mr.
John E. Frost is the man for the place.
He has the experience and acquaintance
necessary, and is a man of ideas and
superior ability. No better selection
could be made.
"I'm somewhat afraid," continued
Mr. Coburn, "that the people generally
have not yet grasped the magnitude of"
this undertaking. Some, I dare say,
think of it as celebration similar to
our past fall festival. Such ideas are
absurd when It is taken into considera

Gentlemen" It is with pleasure I give my hearty
endorsement of Peruna. It is the most successful
know of for catarrhal conditions or trie
Indeed any part of the system.
"As a tonic or Invigorator for a worn-out system
it is of special merit, and as a purely herbal remedy
can be taken with safety by young and old. I hav
never known It used unless It afforded satisfactory
relief or cure." rlAn SHEW.
keeps them constantly wasting precious
vitality.
"All tired out," some people say, "need
a stimulant." A very mistaken Idea.
No doubt, such a one is in need or ln-
vigoration, recuperation, but not stim
ulants. Stimulants draw upon the vigor
which one already possesses; they pro
duce no vigor.
When anyone is tired he needs rest
not stimulants. When anyone's ener
gies begin to flag, recuperation, not irri
tation is wanted.
Unlike so many other remedies Peru
na does not simply irritate and stimu
late. Peruna is an invigorator to nerva
and blood. Send for a copy of Dr. Hart
man's latest book on"Summer Catarrh."

"Four years is a short space of timo
when it Is considered the work that wijl
have to be done to make this giant un
dertaking a success. For this reason I
am in favor of securing the services of
an energetic press agent, who will a8
once commence advertising the Exposi
tion and make the people of the stata
wake up to its possibilities. The Expo
sition will be essentially an agricultural
one, and there will probably be no better
opportunity of securing specimens thaa
wiil be afforded this year. Starting witii
this season the cream of all agricultural
products In every county in the state
should be put aside for the Exposition."
Asked if in his opinion the Exposition
In St. Louis in 1903 would tend to throw
a damper on the Kansas Exposition the
year following. Mr. Coburn said:
"On-the contrary I think it will help
the Kansas celebration. The St. Louis
exposition ia likely to create an exposi
tion sentiment, which will advance tha
success of the Kansas enterprise."
