mieht displease the officials of the road one
of whom had signed a circular letter ad
dressed to railway employes asking their
support for another worthy candidate I
knew Mr Falkner I did not believe he
wouldicare who his men supported I sim
ply asked him the question and also re
quested that ho write his reply to Mr
Noble and that he request Mr Noble to tell
the men in the office that so far as the road
was concerned that they were at liberty
to vote for whomsoever they saw proper
Mr Noble will bear me witness that I told
him in substance the same thinsr
Now where is the wrong Should they
not have the right to vote as they see
projier without being afraid it might incur
the displeasure of the railroad officials
Was it wrong that I should ask if it would
incur the displeasure of the officials Mr
Faulkners reply was that it made no differ
ence with the heads of the departments
who any of the employes supiwrted This
was all I wanted all I asked
Miss Carrie D cksou is a poor but ambi
tious girl No one in our public schools is
more studious than she It isnt that she
wants to defeat somebody but that
she simply wants to go to col
lege and hasnt the means to gratify
her airtbition Her teacher nominated her
without Miss Dicksons knowledee The
firemen of the state that noble band of
volu nteersnominated her as their candidate
as a compliment to her brotecrinlaw Mr
Stuart Harrison secretary of the State
firemen s association Tne Confederate
soluiers appreciating the firemen of the
state voted for Miss Dickson because her
lamented father was a gallant Confederate
officer her teachers have supported her be
cause they knew hur worth her school
mates because they wanted our public
schools represented by the best talent the
little folks because they loved her the tele
graphers the printers the cooks the la
borers the people because they thought
her ambitious and deserving and because
she needed their support
The nice is uow at a close Whether Miss
Dickson is elected or not she has received
the vote of the people Money none has
she Her votes are mostly from the regu
lar subscribers of the paper I ask the peo
ple to heip elect Miss Dickson she will
prove an honor to Texas she will in a for
eign state show the etlicieucy of our public
schools If any gallant men on earth de
serve to succeed those men are the volun
teer firemen of Texas Their heart is iu
this campaign Will our people respond to
their appeal
The railway employes of Texas ought
to remember that I iu public as well
as private life have always been
their friend I ask nothing for that
but do ask that they do not believe any

The triff is based
on mileage and contrary to general expec

gives equal justice to all shipi > ers unless
possibly it be that the heavy shipper
must pay the same as the small

commission acts as fairly iu the future as
in this case the roads will not be seriously
injured though revenues will be cut down

AtIt Again
The Memphis is not a member of the
TransMissouri passenger association and
does not care a picayune for the wishes or
desires of other roads The latest move is
to put on tourist rates to Florida from Kan
sas City These excursions are one faro
for the round trip and the dates are
the same as those on the roads run
ning south from St Louis viz Sept 9
and 23 Oct 14 and 2S and Nov 11 and 25
The Memphis does not ruu to Texas hence
no cheap excursions are being run from
Missouri river points to Texas The Santa
Fe is more of a Kansas than a Texas road
and the Atchison end of the concern is
handicappiug the Gulf end iu the latters
eflort to build up the state The Cotton
licit belongs to Gould who dont want Texas
developed And the same is true of the
Iron Mountain so the only hope Texas can
have of securing some of these benefits is
through the action of the Katy Gaston
Meslier generally gets what he wants from
the other roads and if he decides to run ex
cursions to Texas on these dates there is
little doubt his eastern connections will
make the same rate
Dr Jeckil am Mr Hyde
Charles Berry assistant general freight
agent of the Maple Leaf is a modest young
man says the Kansas City Times gossiper
who never knows where to put his hands
when in the presence of ladies
He is as bashful as an eightyearold girl
but with it all is goodhearted and con
stantly anxious to please The other day
ho was coming down over the Missouri
Pacific and as the train was Hearing Atchi
son his attention was drawn to a woman
with six small children trying to get out of
their seats The woman had loaded herself
down with bundles and was getting the
children in line
Stand around there Johnnie she said
and the moment Johnnie got around the
other five were all wrong Mr Berry hesi
tated a moment then went forward in the
line of duty
Madame said he permit me to assist
you to alight
Thanks said the woman with rich
Missouri accents Yes you kin take the
baby and you there Johnnie take the gen
tlemans hand and Bessie catch hold of
Johnnie and go right along
Come on son said Mr Berry growing
confident and airy in manner come right
onHe carries the baby in his left arm and
with the right he led the two youngsters
The mother was a trille slow about getting
ready so that Mr Berry and the trio of
children reached the car platform without
her Just as they passed out ol the door
Berry looked down at the boy and said
Hungry son
Then he looked up Coming out ofjtheother
car and facing him were several of tho
younir mans joung lady friends from St
Joseph One of them heard Mr Berry say
son to Johnnie and she gasped anil
grabbed her companions arm
Whod have thought that he was a Dr
Jekyll and Mr Hyde she whispered ex
citedly Berry saw them and tried to
speak He could not His lips were glued
His hands were full of children and he
could not raise his hat He could only
stand there and smile The youug women
turned their gaze froin him and hurried
away Just then the mother of the three
children came out
O you aie so good sir she exclaimed
One would almost think you were the fa

Yes said Berry I should think that

Its Days Xiiuibereii
The Western passenger association will
soon be a thing of the past aud all business
of the passenger departments heretofore
managed by this associtiou will be managed
and controlled by the Western tratlio asso
ciation The causes for this move are
many but primarily it is the result of the
Altons refusal to longer recognize the asso
ciatifin or its authority but really the prime
cause of the trouble is the attitude of the
Maple Leaf From President Egan down
to trackman every employe of the Maple
Leaf is a rustler for business aud though
the road has been handicapped by the asso
ciation from the time it opened its line for
traffic to the present this opposition has de
veloped strong iightimr qualities iu its
traffic Ineu After a lone struggle it suc
ceeded in getting into Kansas City but
here association roads managed to keep it
out of the Union depot The Maple Leaf at
once issued coupon tickets transferring
passengers to and from the Union depot to
its depot free of charge thus reducing to a
considerable extent the great advantage the
other roads had over it in point of
Union deK > t facilities Now tho road is
called down by Chairman Finley on the
ground that it is using undue influence to
secure1 business and was ordered to desist
Traffic Manager Busenbarks capillary
adornment is somewhat of an auburn tinge
and to this demand he responded the chair
man and his association could go to the
tropics that the Maple Leaf proposed to
sec that its passengers were given equal
facilities with those of other lines and its
withdrawal is now in order This trans
ferring of the business of the Western pas
senger association to the Western traffic as
sociation means that the passenger rates
and movements will hereafter be directly
under the eye and immediate supervision of
the presidents of the roads It is thought
this combination of the associated roads
will have the effect of enabling them to
more successfully resist the light of the
Maple Leaf and Alton As the Santa Fe is
the short lino between Kansas City and
Chicago it would apparently make the rate
but this will probably be dono by the Maple
Leaf or the Alton hereafter Busenbark
carries a sharp knife and he does not hesi
tate to use it

BASEBALL PAYING
The National Game Again Mak
ing Big Profits
THIS SEASON IS A SUCCESS
Not Only the Iil Leagues but the Minor
Orgunizatlous as Well are Making
Money Contract Jumpers The
Cincinnati Muddle Cossip
That baseball Is again a popular Ameri
can game goe3 without saying and the
crowds this year have bsen more than the
most ardent crank expected In fact the
crowds that have turned out to see tho
latest games in the east have been of
the largest in the history of baseball
The League magnates are well pleased
with tho outlook and many of the dollars
that were lost last year will surely return
before the grand windup this falL Not
only is the League making money and
playing good ball but the American as
sociation Western association Eastern
association New England league and most
of the minor organizations are doing ex
cellent work and drawing good crowds
This is quite a contrast with the state of
nffairsat this time last year Those who
remember that disastrous season will
readily recall that smashup was the order
of the day then Many went under before
the Fourth of July was reached
The only event that has so far marred a
successful season is the action of tho
American association in going it alone
and defying the national agreement The
Association magnates profess to be well
pleased with the stato of affairs but it is
an acknowledged fact with those on the
inside that overtures are now being made
and that before the end of the season the
American association will probably be un
der the wing of the national agreement
again
Of course before a settlement comes
many hard nuts will have to be cracked
There are the Cincinnati muddle and tho
contract jumpers Both the League and
the Association swear they will not give
up Cincinnati Both of the home mag
nates say they will stick Well let them
That can be easily arranged There is no
doubt that with perfect harmony existing
two clubs could live in Cincinnati if all
were tinder the one agreement banner
The Association magnates all over the
country while claiming that they are all
right in going it alone realize the fact that
things would be much better if they were
not fighting the League and Western asso
ciation In fact in n published interview
with President Ed Renan of tho Cincin
nati club he advocated a new national
agreement and said it would have to come
But the nut that will not crack will be
the contract jumpers Meekim and Ray
mond with their eyes wide open jumped
their contracts to play with Jack Chap
mans Louisville team The national
board at once blacklisted both of them
anjl any one that has followed baseball
ws what that means that they will
never play ball under the national agree
ment again and will follow in the foot
steps of Devlin Hall Nichols and Cniver
These four men were blacklisted years ago
and have never been reinstated
Players no matter who they are will be
foolish to jump their contracts for iu the
long run it will mean a great deal
The race for first place is more than in
teresting and the respective followers of
Chicaao Jew York Boston and Brooklyn
all claim that theirteam will land the pen
nant The teams aro closer this year than
ever before and no doubt the finish will be
a close and exciting one
The followers of Captain Anson and
they are many look around and smile
when you mention the possibility of Chi
cago losingthe pennant this year Why
said Tom Burns the other day Chicago
was never better off You know we al
ways make a strong finish and this year
old Anse will hustle us along just the
same You can gamble the pennant will
float over our grounds
In New York the cranks are just as con
fident If tho flag does not go to the Polo
grounds there will be weeping and wailing
in Gotham
Johnny Ward is on deck again and
since his return the club has been playing
better ball and much is expected from
them
Most of the clubs are after pitchers In
fact all the Association teams are looking
for tho youngsters that can twirl the
sphere The clnb that can hold its youug
blood will not only land well up this year
but will make a greater showing in 1S92
Young blood will tell and already several
of the old timers have been relegated to
the rear and the youngsters that were
brought out last year aro more than filling
their places
An association that is playing good ball
and making good money is the Eastern as
sociation comprising Buffalo Syracuse
New Haven Albany Providence and Leb
anon This coterie has been going right
on minding its own business and from all
accounts making money Pat Powers a
well known hustler is at the bead of the
Buffalo club and they are well up in the
front President White whose office i3 in
New York said last week that all the clubs
were playing to large crowds and making
money
The New England league has not been
so fortunate and already the flag of dis
tress has been flung Tom Lovell the
president of the league is well known in
Hfeitern baseball circlet and is now work
ing hRrd to keep her afloat Some time
ago Woonsocket and Lewiston were taken
in and an eight club leagne is now in work
ing order
There was a chance a few weeks ago of
the Western association losing a great
many of its stars as two or three of the As
sociationclubs sent agents out to steal the
cracks They could only induce two of
them to go Meekim and Raymond but
others would suroly follow but for the
prompt action of the board of control in
blacklisting This order has had its ef
fect and it will be hard to get any player
that is now under contract to jump
How the stars have fallen Take Mike
Kelly Dan Bronthers and Jerry Denny
The latter to a certain extent is not in it
although playing with Cleveland He
seems to have lost that snap and dash that
years ago earned for him the title of the
greatest third baseman in America At
Cleveland he has not created a favorable
impression The cranks there claim that
he not only has lost his hitting powers but
that be cannot throw across the diamond
If this is true Denny will go down the slide
vg Thcre is no truth whatever in the report
that the Boston League club wants Kelly
One of the directors said last week that
Bang Kel would never wear a Boston
League uniform again and that they could
have had him a dozen times if he was
wanted J E St
