No one at all conversant with Kansas history will he found questioning: George Martin's loyalty to the state. He is not only a Kansan by adoption, a Jayhawker of forty years' devotion, but the very hair of his head reflects the warm colors of tine constant and unvarying: sunflower. Tet no man criticises the state of tener nor more mercilessly its people. In noting the fact that after a -week's bullyragging, fry the Topeka Capital, t&e Funston Sword Fund has barely reached the sum of 5300. Martin says that Kansas City 2ias made no demonstrative contribution for the hero of Bag-Bag for the reason that that people are too busy sell ing pictures and the like 'to raise money to build a library monument to Company B of Funston's command. Kansans are not mound-builders nor a hero-worshipping people Nine out of ten of its inhabitants if called upon could not name either the only major general furnished by the state in the Civil war, nor the brigadier vrtoo won a national reputation as a dashing cavalryman, nor the colonel who rendered the name of "Redleg" a dread in fvrestern Missouri, nor even the little major who was John Brown's legal defender in Virginia. Kansas people, if not content with the accomplishments .f to Jay or busy with the plan, of a tomorrow, core little for the has-beens, being unmindful of the past, or at most Heaving Its men and its concerns to go for what they were worth. The marhle shaft and accompanying historical group of figures which was to signal the love of the state for Governor John A. Martin is but a hole in the sunken side of the hill at Atchison; Plumb's monument but a ne glected depression on the gravelly slope back of Emporia, of insufficient tears to keep the sod moist or the grass green. Leedys' sarcophagus consists in the extra session's court of visitation, his still animate form being interred in the zinc mines of Missouri; the cenotaph of his distinguished Fuccessor resting in the unextinguished memory not a fort night old that "Wichita shot his dog. Even more hapless may prove the enshrinement of the Hon. Geo. "W. Martin and the rest of the red-headed Kansas contingent whq hava sine mines to flee to or dogs to be killed. In pathetically discoursing of the Kansan's proneness to shoot off his mouth and to leave results to the moment ary effect of such a wind expenditure, Martin goes on to say that the next day after the burial of Senator Pumb an organization was effected to build a monument at his grave. The old soldiers were so enthusiastic that they con cluded to limit subscriptions to old soldiers. A meeting was held in Emporia and about $114 subscribed, most of which came from three men. Then followed a subscription of tftiree dollars and some cents at a state encampment of the G. A. R. Then the monument went the way of all such suggestions In Kansas, and the grave of Senator P. B. Plumb is as unmarked as the spot was when Coronado visited Kansas in 154L He left his family hundreds of thousands, and we understand they are mad because he did not leave them more. Kansas produces a few men like Funston and the Twentieth Kansas, who can go off and make their mark, and great fame for the state, but "the mass of t&e people seem to be elegant only with their mouths The record has been so scandalous in this respect that it really becomes a question whether monument and sword propositions are not.simply intended toguy the sub jects." Universal Disarmament Today. The world's peace commission, representing the great military powers of the earth, meets today to begin the con sideration of the czar's proposition of a universal disarma ment Universal peace would simply be a phase of the mil lennium dreamed of. There are those who hold that every war is an argument against all war. But there have been just wars and necessary wars. But for wars there would have been little or no progress in the past, little or no free dom. The czar, however, believes that the days of war Ehould end; that the only keynote of the day is commer cialism. But will commercialism ever give the people of Russia a constitutional or a representative government? Wvr. in the sense of revolution, is mors demanded by the people of Russia today then by any other people. Wa$-s -v expensive and sometimes bloody, but every war waged by civilization resuRs in a higher and better civilization. The peace congress will not do away with war. There will come of it no disarmament agreement. In the very calling of the conference Russia is distrusted by the rest of the world. But there may come, and probably will come, good of the conference, for there are many international questions which might better be settled by arbitration and by treaty than by the shedding of blood, the expenditure jof national revenues and the accumulation of debt As for t!he United States, taking a selfish view of the situation, disarmament of Germany and of France and of the other great European powers, now burthened with the support of armies, would not be to our interest, for obvious reasons. The Dutch Republic on the Brink. Oom Paul and his people are going to have trouble with Great Britain. Every day the trouble grows more imminent, and the president is fortifying his capital. The Boer will flght, but there Is not enough of him, and the chances are that the republic is doomed as such. The white men of foreign birth are determined to have their civil rights. Advices from Johannesburg, the Transvaal, are that on the eve of the reception of Secretary Chamberlain's note by President Kruger a large meeting was held in that town, where the speakers gave every evidence of a desire to re tort to arms unless the Boer government paid attention to their appeals. Here Is one of tihe resolutions adopted: "In the opinion of thte meeting no settlement of the constitu tional problem of the country wMl be acceptable to the Uit landers which does not provide for the recognition of the fundamental principle of equal political rights for all .white inhabitants." A resolution was also adopted addressed to the niie owners. It runs as follows: "WMle expressing confidence in Mr. Roullot (the representative of the mine owners) and Ills colleagues, and thanking them for their exertions on bcfmjf of the general weal, the meeting is of the opinion ihi no fteal arrangement can be couclsdeJ until representatives are chosen from the community to consult with and assist them." It is said that the mlne-s are prepared to resort 4o force at a word from their f m-r-loytrs, who now have confidence that the government in "London "viH come to Uwfc- rescue in some vray oc other. Testerday morning's news of the arrest of British of fers is hut just what has been expected. The UiUanders of Jnpjj fc:lurg have small respect Mr the ambitions "-d traditions or be T'ansvaal govern nitt England sympa thized with the former attempt to overthrow the republic, and the next move will leave Oom Paul and his patriots humiliated, if not defeated. President HcKinley's Thoroughness. With all his quiet habits and unobtrusive and unostenta tious ways and manners, President McKinley Is a very thorough-going man and determined executive. Daniel Man ning, secretary of the treasury under Cleveland, declared tfoat the government of the United States was annually defrauded out of forty millions of dollars or more through under-valuations of imported merchandise entering the jjort of New York. Other secretaries of the treasury, both Democrats and Republicans, have protested agains: the systematic under-appraisements at that poit, bui none of them ever proved able to rea.h, much Jess reform, ihe abuse. President McKinley without fuss or featbtrs, named "Wak?mAa as- appraiser, quietly notifying hltn of the old and long-standing ahuse, and that he expected him to cure the matter. McKinley knew his man. The leak was stopped, but not before the organized and aggressively rich and powerful importers put up a fight that would have balked most men. The appraiser who demanded that cer tain Importers should give the government enough honest information to enable him to fairly appraise their goods for duty, was denounced as a "persecutor of honest mer chants," an "obstructor of commerce," and "a ruthless de stroyer of established usages." A number of importers were caught red-handed in falsifying their invoices, and in the long and stubborn fight over the methods of fixing the valuation of the St. Gall embroideries, facts that burned like Maverick irons were brought into view, and they so clearly justified Appraiser Wakeman's course that he was sustained by his chiefs in the (treasury department The forty million leak has stopped, and the effort now being made by high-salaried lawyers to beat the people and their laws will fail. General Miles at the Front. There (has been a rumor that the commanding general of the United States army might himself so to the Philip. pines and personally take charge of the campaign against the Filipinos, it being urged that General Miles originally distinguished himself in substantally the kind of Indian warfare being indulged in by Aguinaldo's hordes. General Miles will not go to the front, in all military probability. The Kansas City Gazette, however, insists that there is a feeling that he should be doing some of the planning and fighting, concluding its editorial with the declaration that "the United States has been at war for the past year, and the general In command of the army has divided his time between criticising the administration and seeking ways in which to annoy the head of the war department. This is not written with especial application to the beef charges and inquiry; it is equally applicable to substantiate all of the conduct of the war." A Kansas Bride Dies, at Manila. Captain Buchan, who was quoted in an Interview through the Associated Press yesterday morning, under a San Francisco date, touching the political ambitions of General Fred Funston, is a son of Hon. Wm. Buchan of Kansas City, Kansas. Young Captain Buchan had just reached San Francisco from the Philippines with the dead body of his wife, who went away with him as a bride only a few months ago. She succumbed to the enervating influ ences of a tropical climate. When the Kansas regiment was ordered to leave for the Philippines Captain Buchan s betrothed sweetheart, Miss Lucinda M. Smith of Lawrence, Kansas, was inconsolable over the proposed long-time sep aration and the chances of war. Fearing that they might never see each ether again, they were married, and the young bride followed her husband to San Francisco-, and laiter to the Philippines, as a stowaway as far as Honolulu, from which point she followed her husband by the next steamer to Manila, where death to the wife followed the honeymoon of the plucky bride. Her hody is being brought back for burial at her Kansas home. The deceased was a popular graduate of the State University at Law rence, at which scheel she formed the acquaintance of the boy who later ,as a man, became her lover and husband. Hon. "W. J. Buchan and wife accompanied by the mother of the deceased, have gone to Denver, where they will meet the young soldier today and with him accompany the re mains back to Lawrence for final burial. Love at First Sight, Judging by the joliy laughter that float ed up from the room below, it must have ibeem a pleasant! company. Indeed, it could not have been otherwise, for Jack Rollins was there, and that was sufficient to warrant a pleasant evening, provided young men only were present. This seemingly absurd provision was caused by the fact that Jack was a con firmed bachelor and never intended to sparry. He was 27 and handsome, and his friends repeatedly urged him to get Into society, for with his good looks and $100, 0C0 income he would be what is termed in social parlance a "good catch." To one and all of these tempting offers Jack invariably replied that he had no wish to be a society man, and 'would remain single 'all his life. Another peculiarity of his was that he detested the bicycle and would not be seen on one for love or money. "Which little whims caused his fast friends to shake their heads wisely and say "a good fellow but." He and a companion were walking down the street one beautiful summer after noon. It was cool and breezy, and that the bicyclists had availed themselves of this was evident by the number that flitted noiselessly by. Jack never deigned to look at them". He held that a doman lost her dignUy and womanly instinct by riding a wheel, and theifact4that "she has a bike" was sufficient to cause him to turn against any girl whom he might otherwise have tolerated. j Knowing this, his friend was consider ably astonished when Jack caught him by the arm and exclaimed: "Say, Will, who was that girt on that bike? The one with the white yachting cap. Isn't she a stunner?" Will looked at him a mo ment and then laughed: "You are only human, I see, at last, and I am rejoiced to see that you have a heart at last." He said: "O, don't be in a hurry- I know who she is all right She is Judge Parker's daughter, and all the boys are paving about her, but she won't notice any of them. She would be che belle of the season If she weren't so confound edly cool.' "By the way, if you 'want to become introduced to her, come to Mrs. Ashton'a ball tonight. I'll introduce you, and see yoil around." And as this was said only in jest, for previously Jack 3hunned ball rooms with a righteous zeal, Will was rather surprised when Jack assented eagerly and inquired at what time he would call. PunctuaS to the minute. Will arrived and found Jack somewhat nervous; he had fretted so for fear Will should be late. As they walked! down the crowded streets to Mrs. Ashton's, Will indulged in a little good-natured jest at Jack's expense of late, until Jack turned sav agely and told him to shut up, he guess ed he knew what he was about. When (they arrived at the ball-room the girls almost stared their eyes out, and rapidly passed the word about that Jack Rollins had arrived, and so when Jack entered (the room he found himself In the center of a gaping, staring line of young la dles. There was rather an awkward pause for a few moments, until the hostess came forward and presented Jack to the iguests, saying that since he had conde scended to grace the occasion with his presence they should do their best to en tertain him. Then.the buzz of conversa tion commenced, and soon Jack was in a. ch-clo of girls, all talking at once. He was rather awkward at first, but his constraint soon wore off, and he found' the evening delightful. Still, he could mot help looking around to see if Judge PaTker's daughter was there. He could not see her at first, but soon seh enter ed the room. She was at once surround ed by a group of eager young men, but was extricated by Mrs. Ashton, who pre sented her to Jack. After that the girls and young men (were left to themselves, for Jack monop olized Nell Parker the remainder of the evening; and it seemed that seh was not unwilling to receive his attentions. The upshot of it all was that Jack left that night hopelessly in love, and Will could hardly set a word out of him all the way 'home. Jack and Xeli often met after this, and Jack became a regular visitor at the Judge's. Judge Parker was an intelligent fcnan and took a great hklng for Jack, though it was not for the pleasure of ar guing with him that Jack visited there so frequently. Matters went on in this way for about a year, and on Christmas, 1S9 cards were issued for the marriage of Miss Nell Parker and Mr. Jack Rol lins. This created a great commotion In gociety circles, and the wedding was one of the most (gorgeous affairs of the sea son. They have now been married over a I ypar, and Jack fairly adores his beauti ful young wife, while she thinks tnere is no one in the world equal to her Jack. Their family doctor had a busy time of it for a month or so after their mar riage, for Jack did not learn to ride a wheel quickly, but now one of the sights of the city is Mr. and Mrs. Rollins on their costly, handsome tandem as they go spinning down the street. Man may be mighty, but woman la mightier. Boston Post. Prince Cantucuzene has fled to his Russian estates to avoid publicity. His bdtrothed, Julia Dent Grant, is receiv ing congratulations in Paris. The one consolation a poor man has against the American rich is that the American rich arp so frequently vulgar. Bob Ingersoll says the ministers must give up belief in the immaculate conception or they will soon be preaching to benches, bonnets and bibs. It was an oversight that Int gersoll was not made the primeval intelligence and given the universe to shape correctly. 3 There was sprung in London the other day by women of fashion a new, light and transparent court train. Fashion able women need no longer take athletic exercise in order to be able to walk in their dresses, and the fashion is sensible. The radiophone is the latest. It transfers sound on waves of light. In due time all you will have to do will be to turn your looking glass on your friend and begin to talk. The telephone companies will retire. eg. Mr. Clark, who before a "commititee in Washington Is exposing the whisky trust, says that the poorest whisky made 's sold in prohibition states. But this is evidence that it is whisky. Mrs. Maybrick has now been in prison ten years, and there is said to be a chance of her release. She is in prison as a result of English juries being less sentimental than American ones. Dick Croker this week will visit his birthplace in Ire land, and loaf around the bogs where he first conceived the plan of sailing over and taking possession of New York City. gfr Ingails says there is no certainty that Reed has retired. The cfr-ances are that if Reed sees the country getting too gay about his retirement he will remain speaker. 9 They have Just had a storm In the east As an adver tising item the newspapers of the west should note that it was not a "cyclone." Only it was. Cardinal Gibbons says: "No virtuous woman .has ever left a durable record in the historr of Greece. This is true, but it is tough on Greece. The Confederates at Charleston recently snubbed Joe Wheeler becaose he wore the blue. Nothing is so pig-beaded as prejudice. Today the poor FInlanders "Kill do a lot of sarcastic thinking about that peace conference at the Hague.

A venerable white-haired clergyman re cently preached in the church of a friend. He had hardly got back to the vicarage from the church when the door bell rang and a young lady asked to see him. He received her. They talked about the sermon and other things, until finally she asked diffidently: "Oh, won't you please give me a. lock of vour hair?" "Certainty, my child," said the old gen tleman, flattered at the request. "I'll fcend It to you tomorrow." .And he did. On his return to hi3 home he had five more requests of the same kind, and he proudly boasted to his wife that he was glad to see that he had not yet lost his power to please. All went well until hl3 wife received this note: "Dear Mrs. Fourthly: Won't you please ask j-our husband to yend me just a Hto lock of his hair? We have all been taking lessons in making hair flowers. So many of the other girts asked him, and he sent its to them, that I thought I would rather ask you to g-t it for me. It is so hard to get white hair for lilies of the vaHey." This was a terrible blok. and the less now said about locks of hair in that old gentleman's presence the better. The !Inio IdVnnfRHIslon. (Sir Monier-WilUam.) H met in India an Intelligent Sikh from the Punjab, and asked him about his re Kprion. He replied: "I believe in one God. and I repeat my prayers, called JapJI, every morning and evening. Thse prayers occupy six pages of print, but I can set through them in a MtUe more than ten minutes." He seemed to prime himseaf on this rapid recitation as a work of Increased merit. I said: "What else does your religion require of you?" He replied. l'I have made one pilgrimage to a holy well near AmritK-r. 23ghty-flve steps lend down to it. I descended and bathed In the sacred pooL Then I as cended one step, nad repeaied my Japji to afcost ten minute".

Outlines of Oklahoma, The trial of Ed Mahaffa, who killed Mc of D. Is now in progress at Taloga. The Guthrie Leader's interview with Judge Scott was the warm number of the vernal equinox. A Guthrie man bet 5100 to $1 that If Bill Walker was ousted an outsider would get the job, and won. Judge Irvin is to speak at Kingfisher thi3 week, and he ought to explain his idea of carpet-baggers. Miss Hopkins, the daughter of Con gressman Hopkins of Illinois, recently vis ited a friend at Pawhuska. Bill Walker will demand that the gov ernment permit him to make a showing The department will refuse. There is an incipient saloon row at Cushing. The saloons are getting too near the residence portion iOf the town. Squalls are gathering again and Barnes and Flynn shouM lock that olive branch up in the safe or It will get mussed. Judge Scott says that Flynn is not pop ular in the territory. Judge Keaton fcvould like to have a little explanation on that point. Judge Scott is in tears because Gros venor of Ohio doesn't speak to Dennis Flynn. Flynn can stand it, and Scott pught to get along. Shoe String Smith of Grant county is a candidate for department commander of the G. A. R., which is holding Its meet ing at Kingfisher this week. Jenkins, secretary of the territory, doesn't believe that Scott said all those mean things about Flynn, for Jenkins got Scott appointed "in the interest of har mony." Some one sent Judge Milton of Okla homa City a Chinese newspaper. As he didn't send a Chinaman along to inter pret it, the Judge is still mystery-enveloped. Constable Prudens believes he was Jus 'tifled in shooting Miss Arnold of Guth rie. The truth of the matter is that it was criminal to allow that kind of a man carry a gun. Frank Greer says that Flynn knows that he might as well throw green peas at Gibraltar as to try to dislodge Barnes from the office of governor. "Throwing green peas at Gibraltar" is good. The Interview of Judge Scott's should not be taken to Washington as the sub ject of a row. Oklahoma, should give President McKinley a rest, Flynn and Grimes can stand Scott's abuse. It hasn't hurt them any. The officers in Pottawatomie county re cently surrounded some horse thieves In a house. The horse thieves came out and drove the authorities away, but after ward kindly sent the officers their horses, which they had left behind. In building the normal at Langston a number of (laborers failed to get their pay from the contractor. They have hired an attorney and will mandamus the board of regents. The organic act will probably bob up and knock the regents silly. The Guthria Capital, which discourages "milling," says in regard to Flynn's al leged fight on Walker: "If Flynn wants to go back on those who have made him what he is, that is his personal affair." A few sentences like that will discourage milling in a horn. Programmes' for the second annual meeting of th Garfield County Fair as sociation, to be held at Enid, September 13 to 16, have Just been Issued. Four events are provided for each day except Friday, September 15, when there will be five races on the card. The officers of the association are R, Messall, president; jEugent Waltrous, vice president: S. A. Allen, secretary, and H. H. Watklns, treasurer. Mr. A. W. Dunnagan of Taloga no tified Dewey that D county had been named Dewey, and received the following: "Dear Sir: I have the honor to acknowl edge (the receipt of your letter of Janu ary 31, informing me that at the recent election your county, 'D,' was named 'Dewey' in my honor, and I beg to ex press my appreciation of this honor and also hope that at no distant day I may have the pleasure of visiting it. Yours, truly, GEORGB DEWEY." Along the Kansas Nile, The (understanding between Governor Stanley and the Insurance companies. It is said, affects only farm risks. Ralph Easley, up in Chicago, has work ed up an anti-trust banquet scheme. God Ard, attorney general, will attend. Senator Baker will designate the town where the Twentieth Kansas wiH be mus tered out He will name Leavenworth. The chances are that Sam Peters will he the Seventh district's .delegate to the national Republican convention next year. Fred Funston will not try farming in puba, reports to the contrary notwith standing. He will try poriticing In Kan sas. ohn Collins tired of tailoring and there being a vacancy In the printing office, he -was transferred there and is now stick ing type in tho pen. Fred Funston may not be considered seriously a candidate for anything until some one makes an attempt to find how he stands on prohibition. A relative of Cy Leland who is a pot office inspector recently made an import ant! arrest in New York City, part of which is in his Jurisdiction. Governor Stanley Is talking of paroling rxme of tho state convicts. This thing. if gone into moderately and discreetly. would bo a wise and humane act.

In one of the handsomest special edi tions ever published in Kansas, John GH moro of the Frsdonla Citizen publishes the portraits of every prominent man in town except his own. John Brcidenthaiis being urged for gov ernor, the idea being that his nomination (ivouid make fusion possible again, as he would demand that part of the Etate ticket be given up to Democrats. Young Buchan, Just back from Manila, says that the regimental hymn of tna Twentieth Kansas Is "There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight." This is the only thing to the discredit of the regi ment The Democrats of Dickinson county pmda a formal demand on she Populists to give up t3ieir orsrMzatlon and com in undr the Democratic banner.

SCHOOL Says Her Boy Was Cruelly Beaten at School, Mrs. Ella Whaley, accompanied by Mrs. West, walked into the office of the city court yesterday and swore out a com plaint against Professor Benning, princi pal of the KeWogg street school, alleging that he unnecessarily heat, wounded and assaulted one Cleveland Whaley, a pupil of the school and a son of the complainant. The trouble occurred Tuesday It is prob able that all the strife and muss that oc curred last winter over a similar matter wi" be sne over again and patrons of the Kellogg street school will be dragged off to court to testify in the trial. It will be remembered that Professor Benning had quite a time of it last Jan uarj with parents who became dissatis fied with certain things about the school, ard the prejudice of different persons en tered largely into the matter, to the dis turbance of the school. The school board, however, clearly and almost unanimously sxr ported Professor Benning in that time, ar l things had been progressing rather smonhly until the complaint was filed Vfterday by Mrs. Whaley. A reporter f t The Eagle was present when the com p'lint was filed, and as soon as the na ture of it was made known he endeavored to got a statement from the women, but Mrs West smiled and said "Never mind." Mrs Whaley would have talked of the c-.s but her friend interrupted and hur ri i hr away from the court r"om. It t is thought that this case is being urged ti the same persons who were mixed up in the other trouble of Professor Ben-ri-gt'ns, and that it will be as hard V .3ht by" both sides as the other trial. Pr feor Benning seems to have a great mmv friends, who will not believe that is in any manner to blame for the t gs heaped up against his management c t'le KeVlngg school. There are others I ueer. who claim that he Is not a man f r tne place, and who seem to be doter m ned to give him a great deal of trouble.

A woman in New Matamoras, Ohio, Mrs. Isabell Bradfield, tells in the following letter how she -fought with disease of the feminine organs until finally forced to take to her bed. She says: Dear Mrs. Pinkham I feel it my duty to write to you to tell you that I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and think there is no medicine in the world like it. I suffered for nine years, and sometimes for twelve weeks at a time I could not stand on my feet. I had female troubles of mssmgz pgjpl all kinds backache, and headache all the time. K&ffmmj?

The present Mrs. Pinkham's experience in treating female ills is unparalleled for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great busi ness, advising and helping by letter as many as a hundred thousand ailing women during a single year. neither have I been converted to that faith, but if I ever have a chance I will vote far General Funston for governor of Kanras. Perhaps my Democratic friends would ask me why? In reply, I would say because General Funston is a Kansan, stitpsman, patriot and hero among heroes. Plte name has gone to every civilized na tion, and the name of Kansas has been linked with that of General Funston a leader of men. The kite war with Spain and the Filipino rebels has developed many American heroes. The United States army does not produce a more dar ing hero than General Funston of Kan sas. Then let every loyal citizen of Kan sas turn out and give him a royal recep tion when he comes home, and then, to show him their appreciation of his valor ous deeds, go to the polls in November, A D., IftOO, and cast their ballots for General Frederick Funston fo rgovernor of Kansas. There is no doubt but he possesses executive ability and will al ways endeavor to support the laws and constitution of the, Sunflower state.

The city officials have agreed not to give the $3,000 bond required by Juge Dale in granting the injunct-on restraining the company from running Its cars, and no notice will be served on Mr. Church to quit not now. The hearing of the suit to an nul the Church and all other franchises cannot come up before the September term of the court, because it was not filed in time for the May term. The injunction order if executed, would deprive the city of any street car service whatever all summer and a thousand vigorous kicks oame in from Fairmount, College Hill, Friends' university and the West S.de and the peope on Fairvlew. Mr. Church has agreed If allowed to run that the com pany will try to Hx up the cars and give better service and the matter stands that way now. The notice to quit may be served later, but to stop the cars now would work va hardship on people in the outer part of the c ty who depend upon the street cars entirely to get about.

HI to he tJje C L. 000 FOR C, 0 p, IS In Freight Rates on Packing Products GIVES WICHITA JUSTICE Differential of, Six Cents Eliminated. The Rock Island railroad has recently done handsomely by Wichita in many things, but the best of its gifts has just been bestowed. It has started to destroy the discrimin ation against Wichita's market for pack ing house products. There is a howl from Kansas City, as usual, but the Rock Island is pot to be bullied, and the rates will stand as they are with the discrimination against Wichita eliminated, and not as the Kansas City papers intimate, rein stituted by giving Kansas City a lower rate still. The Rock Island has recently given Wichita a train south on Sunday, and is the first road to give a Sunday excursion into the city, the first coming next Sun day. Its latest move is justice to Wichita in rates. Wichita is to have the same equit able rate to eastern markets as Kansas City. One of the amusing features of the talk in the Kansas City papers is the admis sion that Wichita's market is superior to Kansas City's; that it is nearer the live stock market, and stock can be delivered here with less shrinkage than at Kansas City. The Kansas City Journal yesterday had the following: "Thsre is trouble brewing in packing-house circles and the Rock Island railroad Is the storm center. Sev eral days ago the Rock Island notified the Trans-Missouri Freight asociation of its intention to make the Kansas City and St. Joseph rates on packing-house products applicable from Wichita, thus wiping out the differential of 6 cents in favor of Kan sas City that has been in vogue for years. The railroad contends that Wichita is an intermediate station on Its line, and there fore the rate cannot be higher. The pack ers on the other hand contend that the position of the railroad is not tenable, as it could not be expected to overcome its disability when the Kansas City rates were made applicable from St. Joseph. Kansas City has enjoyed a differential of 6 cents under "Wichita on this particu lar business for years, and thare is every reason why it should. The Wichita pack er has his establishment in the middle of a cattle and hog raiing country, and is enabled to get his livestock much cheaper than Kansas Cfty, as the latter has to pay the freight; besides the former has the advantage of getting his stock in better condition, as it is not subject to shrinkage. To equalize this condition and place both packers on a parity, the differential was granted, and,; while it did not cover the whole difference, the better facilities and larger products of the Kansas City houses made it satisfactory. There is another peculiar thing In Wich- ita paeking-nousc rates. The Wichita packer can enter the Kansas City market and place his product in competition with the local packer on a fiat rate of 12 cents per 100 pounds On the other hand, the Kansas City packer is taxed .10 cents per 100 pounds if he desires to enter the Wich ita market, and ffhe goes beyond Wichita he pays as much more as the local freight amounts to from Wichita. The present condition is not considered equal, and it is possible that sufficient pressure will be brought to bear to induce the Rock Island to rescind its action. A prominent official of one of the Tfans Misscmri lines said yesterday: "We are not, as you know, interested In Wichita, and, while not desiring to do that city ahy harm, shall Insist upon the maintenace of the established differetial in favor of Kan sas City. There is absolutely no justifica tion from our standpoint of the position taken by the Rock Island, and we intend doing all in our power for the proper pro tection of Kansas City's interests." W. P. Trickett. commissioner of the Kansas City Transportation bureau, was seen yesterday and asked for his view of the matter. He declined to talk, but when convinced that the Journal was in full possession of the facts, he consented to make a statement, and was very frank In wnat he paid. "I do not think the Rock Island had any intention of injuring Kan sas City in giving otice of the reduction in packig-house rates from Wichita," said Mr. Trickett. "But the effect of such a change on this market can be seen at a glance. I have contended that existing conditions do not differ from tbose which prevailed at the time the G-cent differ ential was established, and it should, therefore, be conceded that the Wichita packers do not require any greater ad vantage over Kansas City than they heve heretofore enjoyed. That they have ad vantage over this market by reason of closer proximity to livestock producing territory cannot be disputed, and they are now seeking what Is unnecessary in th successful conduct of their basinets to the further disadvantage of Kansas City." "If the Rock Island persists in maintain ing its action, will you ask for a corresponding- reduction from Kansas City so as to regain the parity that exi?ted prior to its action"" n-ns asked Mr Trickett. "That Is a matter th it I d" not care to discuss at this time.' he replied.
