THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 9, 1905. i 4 1AILR0AD HEWS. Over a jlillion Tickets to World's Fair. Iteport of Joint Agent Shows Yolurae of Business. KOItTOX'S SU3DIARY. Ticket Scalping Was Kept With in Bounds. Gossip and Matters of Interest in Hallway Circles. The report of the St. Louis joint Validating agency covering the period of the World's fair, April 15 to De cember 31, 1904, was issued yesterday by Joint Agent Norton. The figures are of general interest, showing the enormous volume of passenger busi ness handled during the fair season on tickets deposited for stopover priv ilege or for extension of return limit.

Louis. Within this limit by far the greater part of the business to St. Louis originated, and for its protec tion the railroads were dependent upon the ordinance of the city of St. Louis restraining ticket brokers from handling nontransferable tickets. For the convenience of visitors who desired U spend every minute avail able in the World's fair grounds, as well as for those who resided at the hotels in that vicinity or were con nected with the various exhibits or concessions, and to relieve as much as possible the city ticket offices and the ticket office in the union station, the office in the Transportation building was established for the sale of rail road tickets and Pullman tickets, for the validation of round trip tickets and as a bureau of information. This action was justified by the business handled at that office, which included ticket sale? amounting to $60,504.14. Pullman sales amounting to $101, 034.50, in addition to 75.016 valida tions, and a very large bureau of in formation business. A conservative statement would show that this office was a convenience for about 250,000 people. The Record Month. Joint Agent Norton says: The heaviest business was during the month of October, and in that month we handled over 10,000 tickets each day. The number of questions an swered by our people during that month exceeded those of any other moath. and the largest day's business, including our bureau of information work, required that we attend to the wants of about 20,000 people. The maximum force of seventy-two men was employed during October. By working these men in different crews and calling upon them for overtime during the heaviest days of the week, we were able to meet the demands upon us in a satisfactory manner. By careful scrutiny at the counters where tickets were presented for vali dation, and by inspection at the gates when tickets were offered for admission to the trains, we were able to detect the transfer of 7.S74 tickets, which were lifted. These tickets represent in one way rides at tariff rates $102,674.46. In addition to these 7.0SS tickets were ta ken from the offices of ticket brokers, through attachment proceedings on ac count of which the offices were raided. These represent, in one-way rides at tariff rates, about $100,000 additional. To passengers from whom we lifted these tickets, the brokers were obliged to refund thousands of dollars paid by paid passengers. In most cases this money was used to purchase regular one-way tickets from an authorized railroad ticket agent. The sales of one-way tickets both in to and out of ft. Louis, during the World's fair, shows a heavy increase. This fact indicates clearly the effect of the restrictions thrown around the re turn portions of excursion tickets through the validating agency. It is the opinion that these restrictions resulted in a saving of revenue to all lines inter- HOW TO KEEP WELL (Strengthen the Stomach With Ml-o-na and Get Perfect Health. The source of health is the stom ach and the digestive system. . When acting as Nature resigned they should the organs of digestion do their work regularly and unconsciously, like a perfect machine. Those who use Mi-o-na do not have a sallow complexion, sunken cheeks, nor flabby flesh. Their skin has a ruddy glow, the eyes are bright, the breath sweet and the ster elastic. In short, the users of Mi-o-na have the Maximum of good health and are plump, rosy and robust. Nine-tenths of all sickness comes from a weak stomach, causing los3 of flesh, shattered nerves, flatulency, heartburn, sick headaches, backaches, epots before the eyes, rheumatic trou bles, and general weakness and de bility. Take a Mi-o-na tablet before each meal, and all irritation, conges tion and inflammation in the stomach or bowels will be immediately soothed and relieved. In fact, the stomach will become well and strong and the whole system filled with strength and vitality. Even if a weakened stomach has brought you to a chronic stage of ill health, where life is one long drawn out pain, do not despair.

The significance of this increase In one-way sales, and of other facts re ferred to in this report, will be more fully appreciated, when It is taken into consideration that lower round-trip rates were made for a longer period, and from a larger territory for the World's fair in St. Louis than ever were made for any occasion of any kind in this country. For no other event were the apparent opportunities for the loot ing of the revenues of the railroads by scalpers so favorable as they were in this Instance. It may not be out of place here to record the fact that, de parting from the usual custom in simi lar cases, and at the urgent request of the Louisiana Purchase exposition offi cials, the railroad companies made un usually low rates for the opening months of the fair, it being understood tha the rates would be raised in the later months, after the excellence of the Louisiana Purchase exposition had become known. When finally an appeal was made for the continuance of these low rates for the entire season, the pro tection afforded against ticket scalping in St. Louis vvasl the main considera tion which enabled the railroads to comply with the request, and to con tinue to give the public low rates and loneer limits on their .tickets than would have been possible without this protection against the scalping evil an object lesson which it is believed the public has not failed to observe. ROCK ISLAX1 COAX. LANDS. Railroad to Develop Coal Fields In Colorado. It Is reported that thousands of acres of undeveloped coal land in the Trinidad, Colo., district are to be ex ploited by the Rock Island railroad. That corporation is the owner of the land, and the first step toward its de velopment is now being taken and will be one of the most important move ments for the section that has been made in recent years. T. E. Coom of Toledo, O., and J. A. MePhee of An thony, Kan., went to Trinidad recently and commenced making preliminary arrangements for a survey of a branch line of the Rock Island from Anthony, Kan., direct to Trinidad. MePhee is chief engineer of the Denver, Kansas & Atlantic railroad, while Coom represents eastern capital ists who are investing in the proposed line. Coom is also interested person ally in the new railroad up Sugarite canon from Raton to San Isidro. N. M. A year ago a survey was made by MePhee for the first 300 miles of the Denyer, Kansas & Atlantic, which is chartered under the laws of Okla homa, and grading was completed to Greensburg in that territory. Coom had the route changed to connect with the Rock Island at Buck land, and a survey to cut the Colorado & Southern from that point takes the line to Trinidad. OPEXS HUGE FREIGHTHOrSK. Baltimore & Ohio Completes Extensive Additions to Terminal Facilities. As a part of its general scheme com prehending the expenditure of many millions of dollars in improvements on its lines, the Baltimore & Ohio railroad has opened its new freighthouse on Fifth avenue, between Polk and Taylor streets, in Chicago. This house, designed for the recep tion of out bound freight, is 800 feet long, with continuous doors so arrang ed that the entire street side of the warehouse is available for the accom modation of draj'S for discharging their packages, while the continuous doors on the track side form a clean sweep the full length of the house for the freight handlers to get at the cars for loading. This arrangement obviates any delay to teams that deliver freight for out bound shipments, thus eliminating a serious source of expense and annoy ance to shippers in the delay of their teams. The new warehouse is equipped with all modern improvements for the prompt handling of freight, and in cludes a large cooling room for the protection of package shipments of per ishable property. Among other improvements which the Baltimore & Ohio has under construc tion in Chicago is an electric crane with a capacity of handling any single piece weighing up to 50,000 pounds, at the team tracks located at the Twelfth street viaduct. This is for the purpose of handling such shipments as struc tural iron, heavy machinery, and other articles of great weight. TWO IiTXDRED I IOMESEEKERS. Santa Fe Taking Party to Pecos Val ley and the Panhandle. C. L. Tallmadge, who is doing col onization work in the Pecos valley and in the Panhandle in connection with the Santa Fe road, left Chicago Wed nesday night with nearly 200 home seekers, who travel by special train from Kansas City. They are going into the Pecos valley with a view to settling upon arid lands which are capable of irrigation. Are Absorbing Burlington Offices. The passenger department of the Burlington railroad is losing its Iden tity in the Twin cities through the carrying out of the policy defined by J. J. Hill. Last month the Burling ton's office in St. Paul was transferred to the Northern Pacific's office, and on March" 15 the Burlington's office in Minneapolis will be transferred to the Great Northern's office. Rebuilding Gulf Terminals. Vice President Harahan and other officials of the Illinois Central railroad have returned to Chicago from New Orleans. They say the company is now prepared to promptly handle all its lo cal and export traffic at New Orleans, other docks, warehouses, and elevators having been secured. The work of re building the property destroyed by fire has been commenced. The capacity of the new elevators and docks will be about one-third greater than that of those destroyed by the fire. The new terminals will be completed by fall. Officials of the company now believe the loss at New Orleans by fire will not exceed $2,000,000. Is Apixintcd General Manager. Cincinnati, March 9. C. E.

Statements have been issued for publication in the Con gressional Record by Mr. Hemenway. late chairman of the house committee on ap propriations, and by Mr. Livingstone, the ranking member of the minority on the same committee, relating to the appro priations by the session of congress just closed. The statements as to the total ap propriations for the session agree, being $S1S, 478.914, for the fiscal year ending June 38, 1906, as against $781,172,375 for the pre vious year. Mr. Livingstone makes a comparison of ths four years of the last Cleveland ad ministration and the four years of the ad ministration just closed, showing that in 1-03-1S.16 the appropriations were $2,016,343,-755,- and during the years 1903-1906 they wore $3,153,334,292. Tn addition to the statement made by Mr. Hemenway in the house on Saturday he submits additional figures and com ments on governmental expenditures. He says: "Under the operation of the latter stat ute and the provisions of the sinking fund law the public debt has been reduced since August 31, 1S65. at which it reached its highest point, $2.75(5.431.571, to $1,280,255, 9!7, at the close of February, Kj5. or more than $416K10,000 in excess of the liberal re quirements of the sinking fund law.

The Remington Sales Organization Encircles ithc. Globe REMINGTON ' TYPEWRITER COMPANY, New Yorft and Everywhere more than $3,000,000 per anrum. "During the eight fiscal years 1897-1904 of the administration of Presidents McKin ley and Roosevelt the aggregate amount applied to the sinking fund was $237,516, 609, or an average of nearly $30,000,000 per annum. "Another permanent annual appropria tion which does not affect the ordinary re ceipts and expenditure of the government is for the redemption of circulating notes of national banks that are retiring or re ducing circulation. These redemptions are made out of deposits of national banks required bv law for that purpose and the estimated amount that will be paid out of these deposits for these redemptions dur ing the fiscal year 1906 is $30,000,000." Speaking of the appropriations Mr. Hemenway says: "I am advised by those most competent to judge that the deficiency in the reve nues of the government for the current fiscal year will not exceed $18,000,000. Thi3 deficiency is brought abot by unforeseen expenditures in two directions, namely: $13,000,000 on account o new ships for the navy, and also in the probable excess of five or six million dollars of expenditures for the postal service over the postal re ceipts for 1905." Mr. Livingstone, after giving various ex penditures says: "Contrasting Mr. Cleveland's second ad ministration as to appropriations with that of Mr. Roosevelt, we find that a strenuous government dominated by the policy of a 'bit; stick' costs under Mr. Roosevelt $220,412,329 more for the army, $25S.184,157 more for the navy, $19,477,563 more for fortifications and for the three combined military purposes $498,074,050 more than did the same objects rniiier Mr Cleveland's last four years of office, a sum large enough to erect a public build ing in everv city and town in the country, with enough to spare to improve every harbor and waterway, so necessary for the promotion of our commerce, or it would have been sufficient to construct 200,000 miles of perfect roadway through out the whole land." LIVE AND LET LIVE. Webster, of the Humboldt Refinery, Gets Standard Oil Kates. Kansas City, March 9. C. D. Web ster, proprietor of the Webster oil re finery at Humboldt, was here yester day. He is preparing to open an oil station here at the reauest of Kansas City grocers, who have been using his oil since the plant at Humboldt has been in operation. In discussing his plans Mr. Webster said: "I have been contemplating putting in a station in Kansas City for a long time, but freight rates have been against me. Now. thanks to the 'cam paign of publicity' and the Kansas leg islature, freight rates are as favorable to me as to any one else. The old rate to Kansas City was 17 cents. The new rate is 8 cents." Mr. Webster talked enthusiastically of the prospects of the Independent re finery people in Kansas. "For twenty seven years," he said, "I have been fighting the Standard Oil company. The day I have looked forward to for years has arrived, and now I can make money if the Standard does. On March 6 I shipped a car of oil under the new maximum freight rate law. The old rate was $78.34. The new rate Is $27.60, a saving of $50.74. We are now shipping barrel lots every day at from 16 to 18 cents, where we for merly paid from 60 cents to $1 per barrel. "Now that we are to be allowed to live and have an equal show in the matter of rates, I am going to increase the capacity of my plant from 4,000 to 12,000 barrels per month." Campbell Reaches Home. Pittsburg, Kan., March 9. Repre sentative Campbell arrived at his home and already the advisory board of the producers' association is in communication with him regarding the desire for an open hearing in the investigation to be carried on by the national government. It is be lieved that an investigation carried on under the rules that obtained in the investigation of the beef trust would be worse than no investigation at all. Mr. Campbell has had several confer ences with the president and it is be lieved that his recommendation will go a long ways at the White House.

He was a single man of twenty-five, liv ing with his mother and ostensibly supporting her on the $35 per month he received as a switchman In the yards, but In reality making her sup port him a good share of the time. Jim's offense was drunkenness on duty. He had been warned several times, and several times he had heed ed the warning and braced up, but on a certain afternoon when he had been patronizing the bottle in his shanty too often he threw a wrong switch and wreck eight loaded freight cars and caused the company a loss of five thousand dollars. Then it was decided that he had to go. At first Jim was a bit frightened and inclined to admit that he had gotten off very cheaply, but after lis tening to the talk of several men in the Red Star saloon for half an hour be became convinced that he was a badly used man. All the men but one were discharged employes of the road, and no one but themselves were to blame for their going. The one exception was a good talker but a thorough loafer, who had not done an honest day's work for years. "Well, it's only what I expected," he observed, when Jim had told his story. "They won't allow a man any personal liberty. He must be a dog and cringe to them, or he must go. The superintendent had wine for his dinner, but because our friend Jim takes a wee drap of whisky to get over his tiredness he gets the bounce at an hour's notice. Does any man here call that a fair deal? Has the time come when a workingman has no rights?" "Jim's being bounced is going to come tough on his old mother," re marked one of the men as he finished his glass of beer. "They'll likely put him on the blacklist, and will some one tell me where he's to get another job?" "In the poorhouse," added a third. "That is, unless he's a man, and I hope he is." "I'm a man, and I'll let folks know it," replied Jim, who began to realize the injustice done him. "That's the talk," said the only loafer who hadn't spoken before. "Jim's riht when he says he's a man. and he'll prove it by attending our lecture tonight." "And what may that be?" asked Jim. "There's a man going to talk to us down at Racket hall tonight. I'll come around after supper and take you down. Have you never attended any of the talks?" "Never a time. When I haven't been workin' I've been sleepin', and so had never an hour to myself." Jim's hours of work had been ten hours per day, and he had loafed the streets every night until midnight, but his statement passed unquestioned. In fact, it was encouraged by the leading loafer, who said: "That's the way of it grinding a man into the dust just because he has to work for a living. Wrhen Jim has wanted to walk around in the daytime like a human being it's been work, work, work, and when he's wanted to read the Bible to his old mother o' nights he's been too dead beat and sleepy. Come along tonight, Jim, and you'll hear talk that is talk." "And so you've got the bounce?" queried his old mother, when he got home and told the news. "Yes, they've turned me out on the world to starve, and all for nothing at that." "But you must have done something." "It was all the engineer's fault, and I believe he was put up to it by the Many School Children Are Siekly.

"He piled the cars at me so fast that I got confused in my head and threw the w-rong switch and brought about a smash-up." , "And was that all?" "That's all, mother, but the five years I had put in went for nothing." "It's enough to make my blood boll, Jim, and you so sober and hard work in', but I was sayin' to myself only this mornin' that this was no world in which the poor man would ever get his rights. What we are to do for meat and taters I don't know, but I hope you won't beg of 'em to take you back." "Not if they get down on their knees to me. and I'm thinkin' of something else, too. I'll tell you when I get home this evening." 0'- -j-.i , , The S witch was Thrown. Jim Cudahay attended the meeting at Racket hall. There was an audi ence of a hundred and fifty, and the speaker was a well-known agitator. He was down on railroads In partic ular, because he had once been dis charged from one of them for incom petency. He was a fluent talker, and he held up the wrongs of the work ingman In a way to bring tears to the eyes of all present. When he had worked his audience up to a certain point he began to de mand certain rights for the oppressed. One was that of hitting back. He didn't say so in so many words, but the gist of his remarks was that the unjustly discharged workingman had the birth-born privilege of getting even with the individual, company or corporation, that discharged him. He and not they was privileged to say whether the discharge was unjust or not. There were winks and nods and nudges, and the speaker was cheered for a patriot as he closed his address. Jim and his friends sought the Red Star saloon after the meeting, and when they had put away a round of beers the loafer who had done most of the talking in the afternoon wiped off his mouth and said: "I wanted to ask Jim the question this afternoon, but thought I'd better wait and let him hear that talk. I'll ask him now if he proposes to put up with the Injustice that's been done him?" , , , "I'll have to, won't I?" queried Jim. "You'll have to if you've got the backbone of a fishworm. It's a mighty good thing for the S. & P. road that they haven't got me to deal with." "And what would you do?" "Do? Isn't there freight cars in the yard to touch a match to? Isn't there switches to be left open and smashups to be brought about? Jim Cudahay, I took you to be a man." "And so I am and so I am, and I'm telling you that before this night has passed I'll be even with the com pany that bounced me. The injustice of it is sinking deeper Into my heart everv minute." Two hours later Jim appeared at the cabin to say to his mother: "Keep your mouth shut and say nothin. but I'm startin out to get even with them that bounced me to day." "And what will it be?" "I can't say, but you keep still." "As still as a mouse, Jimmy, and you be careful to leave no tracks. You wald . ft 1 , 3 m 3$ i THERE re twenty best reasons why you should wear a W .

Jim took a walk through the railroad yards with a view of making a bonfire out of a few freight cars, but the sight of a watchman drove him away. Then he followed the double track over the bridge and out into the suburbs until hfl came to a switch on which stood 25 or 35 freight cars. The switch was at the up per end and bv throwing it over he would send the 11:30 Blue Line crashing in. That would be a glorious getting even. The switch was tnrown and Jim walked up the track a full mile to prevent being seen, when the catastrophe came off. Hardly was he out of sight when a track-walker came along and found things wrong and righted them and cursed the carelessness of a brakeman. Standing on the west bound track and peering and listening, Jim presently caught the rumble of the Blue Line. He had forgotten the passenger train due at midnight. As he moved from one track to another to avoid the heavy freight, hn was picked up by the flyer and tossed M) feet away and next day when the body was found every bone seemed to have been broken. Jim had failed to get even, and when the loafers gathered again t the Red Star saloon they said it was still another case of injustice being heaped upon injustice. (Copyright, 19t6, by T. C.
