annual election OF officers for the Okla
homa company at Coffeyyllle, Kansas ;
the resolutions passed in TopekA-SaaOgs
day night, published IN our local col.
umns; and various other movements
afoot prove that though Dave Payne's
body lies "a mOuldering in the grave,

occupancy of that paradise by certain
settlers aud the movements toward It
OF the troops and the aYowed intention

fiicting intentions. there Is as likely to
be trouble as when railroad trains try to
pass each other on the same track at the

this subject the following from the Com
monwealth:
Tell w. Walton, editor OF the Cald-
we'll Journal, who is Just now enjoyi lg
the unenviable notoriety OF charge of
arson, was IN Topeka yesterday, and
called on the Commonwealth. Tell is
charged with having fired the building
of the newspaper Office IN Oklahoma
when 1t was destroyed by order OF the
secretary OF the interior, SOME months
ago. The charge against Mr. Walton
appears to be groundless, and we hardly
think IL will ever come to trial. Mr.
Walton was some distance away from
the building when iE was fired, but was
near il, acting in the capacity OF Asso-
ciated Press reporter. The man who
filed the complaint Is said to have been
three quarters of mile away, and under
arrest. Mr.. Walton says that there are
probably $50 men In Oklahoma to-day /;
that troops are en- route TO the locality,
and within ten days there will be from
1000 to 1 200 of Uncle Sans soldiers on
the ground. His opinion is that
the soldiers will move the settlers out OF
the territory; whether thew will be at
rested or not, he cannot say. The
"boomers" are feeling very much like
lighting, and If they do. says Mr.. Wal
ton, they will be killed. Mr.. W. speaks
we'll of the men who have gone into the
territory, generally. but says it Is a
scheme TO make money, and that 1t can
not be disguised into anything else. He

Freight on Kansas wheat.

TOPEKA, Kas., Jan. 6.-The represen-
tatIVes of the traffic departments OF all
Kansas roaes met here yesterday with
the members of the state board of rail
read commissioners for conference in
regard to freight rates on the wheat iraf-
f.. The managers presented long an
sEer to the request for reduction, stating
that the present rates were established
by the state commissioners during last
summer, and were conceded to be far
and just to all parts of the state.
Statistics were offered showing
the prosperous condition OF Kansas
wheat growers aud the Improbable con-
ditiou of smaller railroads operating in
this state. 10 the judgment of traffic
managers reduction at this time would
not be of any special advantage TO Kan.
sss farmers for the reason that the mar
ket price Is controlled by transportation
charges, and If It cost less to ship, small
price would be realized. 1t was
further agreed that reduction
Of freight rates would hecessitata
corresponding reduction in the the op-
Grating expenses of Kansas railroads
and would greatly weaken some of them.
Informal discussion was had as to the
reported distress among farmers and
grain growers and the measures neces-
sary to be taken to afford them relief.
The result of the conference is an ex-
preston on the pErt of railroads against
the proposition for reduction. The
c,ranissiGners have not signlhed what
further action they will take.
