LOUISVILLE, August 31.-At o:1O O'Clock
a severe shock of an earthquake was felt
all over the city, lasting about thirty Sec
onds. In the fifth story OF the large Courier
Journal building the first motions were very
decided oscillations North and South which
settled into vibrations. A general STAN
pede occurred and people left their houses
and ran into the streets all over the city.
Several public meetings were broken up
and the audiences rushed wildly frightened
into the streets.

The fact that Wichita has really come to

vast territory and with freight rates equal
ing. if not more favorable figures than the
Missouri river pooling rate, and that these
have been made by roads which io not
touch Kansas City, has brought on more

sums up the situation. and as it viii b.

doubtedly hold her own whatever The out

I'VE have had rate war with the Mis-
souri, Pacific for several months. They
have taken out Of Kansas nearly all the
grain on the line of OUR ROAD oy cutting
rates to New Orleans and the southern
states. making it utterly impossible to ship
grain from the grain growing districts.
They have also been cutting rates from 81

January the Santa Fe has endeavored 10
meet these cut rates as best they could but
we never have been able the matter between

themselves from ST. Louis TO Wichita
than the sum of the two locals. This rate
is ten per cent less than the sum OF the
two locals according to the distance. They
are enabled to make and maintain this rate
because their line is fifty miles shorter to
Wichita than any other.

THE HOG OF KANSAS CITY AND

Yes, the interest must come westward,
westward to where the hogs and the corn
that produces them are both raised, west
to Wichita. The same train of events, the
same inexoriable interests that originally
carried the hog from Cincinnati to Chicago
and St. Louis, and on again west to Kan

to the next newer base of supply and west

Wichita. The oleogenaceous Armour owns
the pig sticking pens at Kansas City which
accounts for the milk in his cocoanut and
in his interview.
We nevertheless believe that Kansas
City is destined to supplant Chicago on
the animal food question, but Wichita
will just as surely supplant Kansas City.
The future big hog supply must come

Just as sure as Wichita will rank Kansas

given There is no town within one hun

Kansas City that will ever disturb her
supremacy as hog mart. or outstrip her
in hogish inclinations generally, but thele

The special reason, though. that Mr..
George gives for other people to vote for
him, is that by doing so they will be vot

His new scheme of taxing land
Free trade.

these principles while mayor. but he repre-

want it. How do farmers like this plan?

Wide collars Of solid jet accompany
some of the thinnest costumes for the sum-

High collars are trifle less choking this
season by being turned away in front.
A pleasing effect is often more success
fully produced by some one or two well
chosen accessories of the toilet, than by
any other means.

on at home all its beauty vanished because

| There are many ladies who think they
do not look well in anything but standing
collar, and others who wear ruches upon
all occasions, and a noted character has
adopted the wearing of an inch wide ribbon
tied close about the throatin small bow
with ends. This is worn just below the
high dress collar, and is generally of white
satin ribbon. 1t always looks neat and is
very becoming to the wearer.
She also eschews cuffs altogether, and
only upon dress occasions wears ruche in
| her sleeves. Upon the street she wears
| long-wristed gloves and at home pair Of
dressed. She says cuffs are not her style.
her arm and hand look better without them
and she has the good sense to dress herself
to the best advantage.
The upright linen collar, with ends slight
ly pointed and rolled over, is again
presented, while the English collar, with
the ends tapping, is also regarded still
| fashionable.
White fancy linen or duck vests are worn
with stylish tailor-made SUITS and with
these white linen collars and cuffs are ar
bitary. Handkerchiefs show but few
novelties and those with wide hens are
paSse. Handkerchefs edged with narrow
lace meet with ready sale, and those with
hemstitching and dainty colored borders
are also favored. A very fine linen hand
kerchief can be bought for twenty-five cents.

Hats for the Summer.

Hats to be very stylish should be half
yard high OF built up with high bows of
heavy ribbon, no feathers being used.
Coaching hats are turned up jauntily on
the side or in the back, as the wearer or
her miliner may fancy. and bow of
gigantic size in one or two colors making
the trimming of such hat. A facing of
bright red velvet helps to make such head
gear gay, and is worn with almost any kind
of costume. Variety is the essential char
acter of this seasons fashions.
The prettiest hats are decidedly the Louis
Kill, trimmed with bows of black ruban,
jets and a yellow bird in front. Sometimes
the whole of the crown and trimming is
lightly yelled in white point d esprit tulle,
and others with black. In both cases they
are vary becoming. The Spanish hat is
now covered, brim and crown, with PAM
piles of jet. On the left side is placed a
large bow of exceedingly fine Chantilly
lace in the midst of which are placed pale
pink and tea crush roses.

Taken for German Spies.

Intending visitors to France would do
we'll to provide themselves with pass
port, and tothave it properly use, to
Judge from the experience of Mr.. STAN
ley Weyman and his brother near Pau.
For some cause or another, the unfor-
tunate pair were arrested on suspicion
of being German spies and lodged in
most uncomfortable cells during whole
night, and even some hours after tele-
gram had been received from our Vice
Consul at Pau establishing their identity.
One of the brothers was in possession OF
a passport, as well as bankers letter
of recommendation, but the village
officials would not accept these as proof
of identity, and the Procureur of Oloron
when ordering their release, refused to
grant any redress, on the score that the
passport was not uise for France, and
the bankers letter was printed and not
written. This may be strict French
law, but should like to see the matter
taken up.-London Truth.
