TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. MARCH 19, 1902. 3 RAILROAD NEWS Active Beorganization of Santa Fe Shops to Begin. A. R.

DaTis Is Soon to Be at the Helm. HIS IDEAS ABOUT.WORK Says Good Tools and Good Treatment Are Essential. Does Not Believe in Trying io Bulldoze Workmen. yvith the succession of A. R.

Davis to the general shop foremanship here on April 1. as reported in Tuesday's State Journal, begins the active work of reorganizing the local end of the Santa Fe mechanical department. Mr. Davis Is a railroad man.trained by experience, naturally gifted along mechanical lines, and as a foreman particularly loyal to and popular among his men. His railway career began in 1375 when he entered the shops of the Pennsylvania system at Altoona, as a machinist apprentice.

After completing the time required for an apprenticeship he 'went to the Philadelphia and Krie at Kenova, IPa. His first Important position was A. R. Davis, Newly Appointed General Shop Foreman For the Santa Fe Shops in Topeka. with the Hocking Valley as roundhouse foreman at Toledo, Ohio.

Later he held a similar position with the Mexican Xational at Laredo, Tex. His connection with a number of roads gave him much experience, and this linked with his ability brought him to the recognition of leading mechanical men. For a long time he was master mechanic for the Robinson Machine company at Monongahela, Pa. Then he went to the American Blower company at Detroit, whence he came directly to the Santa Fe as foreman of the machine shop at Topeka. Mr.

Davis says that In assuming the position of general foreman there are many things to contend with in holding a position as the head of a plant the present size of the Santa Fe shops, and what they will be in the future. "Modern tools to liehten the work of the men," he says, "and at the same time have the work done with neatness and dispatch is one of the greatest things Introduced into any shop. In a railroad shop we find more or less grievances on the part of the men that they cannot get this or that tool to make their daily output look encouraging in the eyes of the foreman. The main point in any well conducted shop is good tools; they encourage the men the same as good arms in time of war. They know they can bring results when they can depend on the gun and the officer.

"I found in my different administrations that kind treatment toward the men goes farther than hurrying and bulldozing. If the foreman has a job In a rush and takes it to one of the men, saying 'Here is a job I am in a hurry for; will you kindly get it out as soon as you he will find that that man will do all he can possibly to meet the request. That word 'please' and "thank you' belong to the laboring man as well as the highest official of the road. "We find many things to consider in a position of this kind, as the general foreman Is looked upon as the main attorney in shop administration. He stands all the responsibility for discipline and output, and he! must depend upon the men to help in these difficulties which he is 'up against' every day.

And a man in. this position who makes r-romlses to the men and fails to fulfill them cannot be relied upon as a leader of men. For he is counted as a deceiver, and consequently he has a regiment of soldiers to contend with instead of mechanics. If you make a fellow workman a promise, fulfill it. You will always have his confidence to fulfill your requirements.

The highest officials of the road are anxious to have the men treated with courtesy anil kindness, in order that there may be harmony as there should be in every well-conducted shop." Mr. Davis returned Tuesday from Pittsburg, where he has been for ten days. "CHEROKEE DORA." Said to Be Planning to Hold TJp a Rock Island Train. Cherokee Dora has again broken Into print, this time with something more or a flourish than ever before, says the Albuquerque Journal-Democrat. In a recent Issue of the Cincinnati Enquirer appears a lurid story of the doings of Dora in Santa Rosa and her hasty departure from the coming railroad center of eastern New Mexico.

The correspondent of the Enquirer relates that Dora recently had a lot of fun by riding madly up and down the main street shooting out any lights that the fear-stricken residents had neglected to extinguish. Then the cowgirl rode out of town and the peace officers hurried after her with warrants. They have not caught her yet. The Enquirer's correspondent then draws the following picture of Dora Chiquita, a character which the "cowgirl" would probably boot If she met it in the road: "Jjl Chiouita Is as pretty as a picture, about a quarter-blood Cherokee-She is 23 years old, dresses in man's attire, always carries two revolvers, can ride anything, and Is alternately a. loving and tender-hearted woman and a fierce and daring desperado.

She' has been the partner of many desperate man. Not long ago she killed her companion, 'Poker' Paul, In a fit of Jealousy. "The girl always has plenty of money a good deal more than it seems possible she can obtain from any of the known sources at her command. She spends her money liberally, Is always ready to 'treat the crowd," however large, but is never Some inquisitive persons of an imaginative turn have spread rumors that Cora Chiquita is the shrewd advance aud investigation agent of a bandit in the Indian nation who Is purposing bank and train robbery in the near future along the line of the new Rock Island-El Paso railroad." This is interesting reading, but It can hardly be said to be judicious advertising for the new town. "Poker" Paul, if that interesting Individual existed, would doubtless be interested in the description given of Dora.

It would be a relief to have an official picture of her. She has been variously described as a blonde, a brunette, an auburn-haired beauty, find a red-handed terror; as tall and short, fat and slim, as sweet and gentle and refined, and as bloodthirsty and ferocious. There is a question as to which one of the many correspondents who have written pretty -stories about the alleged female desperado has seen her. And now. comes the rumor that after her latest red fire, quick curtain play in Santa Rosa, Dora has hied herself westward to give the Arizona correspondents a hanc to get In their work.

Her next appearance will be anxiously awaited. The Rock Island 'm will doubtless be relieved at her de parture and will wait with Interest the results of her prospecting for favorable hold-up locations along- Its line. THIS MAY BE A REASON. Why Santa Fe Officials All Have Business Out West. Chicago, March 19.

The arrival from Washington of Judge William A. Day, attorney for the interstate commerce commission, caused, a revival of uneasiness among local railroad officials, who fear an early beginning pf proceedings against violators of the interstate commerce Sherman anti-trust laws. Kate cutters and roads guilty of being parties to illegal pools and combinations are dreading a probe in the form of rlvil or criminal proceedings in the local United States courts. Attorney Day's movements were shrouded In mystery and when he was found in conference with United States District Attorney S. H.

Betheu, he would say nothing. Xeither would the district attorney give any hint as to the nature of the case' which is expected to be started. Attorney Day remained with him over an hour and the evidence which was secured against violators of the law in the district was discussed generally. It is expected other conferences will be held in the next few days and that the plan of campaign will be outlined. Then a bill will be filed in the federal court, or.

if it is decided to prosecute under the criminal status, an indictment will be prepared for presentation to the grand jurv which meets in May. This, it is expected, will be the course of the prosecution. Mr. Ketheu recently received from Washington a full transcript of evidence which is said to incriminate several railroads. This was taken at hearings of the commission in Chicago.

WILL TRY CONTINUOUS RAIL. Michigan Central to Test Rails 500 Feet in Length. A continuous steel rail 500 feet long is being experimented with on the Michigan Central railroad. Because of heat expansion and cold contraction experts long ago pronounced the continuous rail a failure. In view of the almost solid sentiment against the "continuous" the Michigan CVntral experiments will be watched closely.

To secure the unusual length, 30-foot rails are placed end to end. with no allowance for expansion, and the splices are serf-wed tightly with machine-made bolts. Ttiis arrangement gives a practically continuous rail for 5uo feet, or as much longer as desired. Some provision is made for expansion and contraction. This is accomplished by 'placing socially designed slip joints over the places where the shorter rails meet.

These cover openings of from 2 to 4 inches, but the slip does not allow the wheels of cars to drop into the May Extend to Port Arthur. Chicago, March 19. If present calculations of the Moore brothers do not miscarry the Rock Island will soon be made an active competitor of the Kansas City Southern for the Port Arthur export business, and for the business from the Beaumont oil fields.

M. C. A Friday evening the Knights of Pythias which numbers among its members a great many shopmen, wiil play. Following the concert by that organization P. I.

Bonebrake. president of the Central National bank, will give a talk on "Banking."

Nearly all the ice" which the Santa Fe stored during the winter weather has been packed in saw dust and is now in first class shape for preservation until it will be used.

Of course Morrison himself was not a member of the cast, but George Trimble, who played Mephisto, had a voice and face very similar to the "Only Morrison," and made a very good devil, that is as devils go. Miss Frances Paul, who did the "Marguerite" act, depended largely on a pretty face and will not be a shining star for several seasons perhaps. The scenic effects were good enough for the play, and the Brocken was gruesome enough for all practical purposes, and left the old familiar kiln dried from which many escaped without waiting for the last att. Faust is losing in popularity. This bad dream of some one, is getting to be a back number, and many good actors are wasting their time and chances by repeating the moth eaten lines of Mephisto, Faust and Dame Martha.

COMIXG DRAMATIC ETENTS. Jule Walters and Louise Llewellyn will be at the Crawford tonight in "Side Tracked." "The Telephone Girl" will be seen at the Crawfoi Friday night. Every face is a fresh one, every scene has been improved and the ensemble to a very great extent, has been enhanced. "The Telephone Girl" is one of those gutta per-cha productions which may be made personally Interesting by reason of the fact that it is susceptible of change, will allow of the introduction continually, of new features, and a change of cast.

For the Service of Easter. There is always the promise if not the full bud of sprintime at Eastertide. The atmosphere vibrates with renewed being. As the trees and shrubs and all the life which has been sleeping under the earth in fragrant gloom, begins to wake from the long winter nap and look out upon the world again, it brings freshness and joy with it. Even the dullest ear may catch the faint, sweet harmony which comes from the gentle stirring of the myriad trembling things which are quickening underneath the mould: in the bud.

in the bough, in the leaf in the bud. and In every tiny thing which comes peeping forth, doubtful at first, suspected more than seen, until at last the splendid raiment of the spring appears, and all nature plays, "The sweetets song, and the loudest string, Because the old earth looks so new again. The hill, the sward they all look fresh as If our Lord But yesterday had finished them. What more natural then than the desire that moves us all to follow the custom of Mother Nature and array ourselves befitting the season, and surround ourselves with freshness and beauty in every possible way we can. THE TABLE ON EASTER DAY.

Accompanying the festive spirit of the day we have the religious significance as well, so that the idea is to make the observances of the day emblematic of both the season and occasion. Freshness and everything that typifies new life, is fitting, and this idea may be carried out in many pleasing ways, especially in regard to the Nothing elaborate should be attempted, but everything must be simple and convey an impression of purity, newness and joy. Snow-white linen, shining glass and silver, the most delicate china you have nothing expensive, as that would be out of keeping. Have some springtime bloom on the table, if it be only a tiny pot of crocuses, and if there are children in the family delight their expectant eyes with some little Easter greeting placed beside their breakfast plate. Eggs have always tieen the most conspicuous feature in Easter celebrations, as they" typify the escape of the soul from the body.

Easter favors have assumed a variety of forms, although the egg and the rabbit a German innovation, by the way-retain their hold on the children's fancy. The Easter breakfast should be simple but dainty and made up of little surprises, if possible, in the bill of fare. If fresh strawberries and cucumbers still hold themselves in reserve for the highest bidder, serve ice cold orange cubes in little orange baskets, with a tiny bunch of violets or a bit of green tied at one side of the handle with white ribbon, and in place of cucumbers serve small red and white radishes cut to represent flowers. Serve eggs, of course, and in as dainty and attractive a manner as possible. And do not forget the hot cross-buns.

For color decoration for the Easter breakfast table choose yellow.green'and white, unless you have for -a centerpiece a dish of various colored crocuses, hyacinths or tulips, then carry the scheme through with the various dishes. This will carry out the effect of general rejoicing of the earth over the departure of winter and its desolation. Let the dinner be the more ceremonious feast of the dav and let it differ as much as possible from the heavy dinners of midwinter and the more frugal Lenten Sunday meals. If you cannot indulge in spring lamb, green peas and fresh strawberries (for a shortcake), comfort yourself with the thought that well-grown 'mutton is much better flavored, nourishing and wholesome, as well as cheaper: the best -brand of canned peas or even string beans very generally masquerade for the new vegetables anyway, and as for fresh strawberries, who wishes to take the zest from the enjoyment of the home-grown fruit so long before these ripen in our northern And orange shortcake is delicious and more appropriate for the season. AN EASTER MENU.

All you have to do in case of stuffy colds, is to place the large end of the HYOMEI Inhaler to the nose, and breathe naturally. This new germicide at once destroys the germs causing the disease, allays all irritation and inflammation, caused by them, and a complete cure is effected.

In hoarse, tight coughs, the small end of the HYOMEI inhaler should be taken into the- mouth and every breath inhaled through same. On retiring at night, a flannel saturated with HYOMEI should be pinned to the collar of the night robe. As in head colds, HYOMEI kills the germs In the -throat and lungs, allays all inflammation, the cough stops and inside of twenty-four hours, you are entirely free from it. Croup germs cannot exist for thirty minutes in an atmosphere of HYOMEI. HYOMEI is the only known specific for catarrh, bronchitis and consumption and the only remedy for which your money is refunded in case it does not cure.

Hyomei is sold by all druggists or sent by mail. Price $1.00, or if you prefer to test this treatment for five davs free, send to The R. T. Booth Ithaca, N. Y.

With the white of a hard-boiled egg cut into strips, mark Easter on the top of mould, arrange a border around the outer edge of the salad with capers and tiny gherkins sliced lengthwise.

Around the base arrange a border of curled celery and crisp tender hearts of lettuce. SUNSHINE PUDDING WITH SNOW EGGS. Cover half a package of gelatine with half a cup of cold water and let it soak until tender. Whip dry one part of cream and place it on a fine wire sieve, in a cold place to drain.
