memory ranked in his victims years

After all is said, it is . magnificent ad-
vertisement Of tho "Ciucinnati Com
uercial' for 1853.
At the White House rs elsewhere
yesterday and today the great topic OF
conversation has been the Samoan dis
aster. All day long Saturday the Navy
Department was beseiged for news not
merely by the reporters, but by anxious,
suffering friends and relatives Of those
who were on the doomed vessels. The
sight was pititul. and as the visitors
scanned the list of the unfortunates
nearly every name called forth express
sions of regret from some personal
friend. The mother of u mere lad who
was on the Nipsic, is expected to die
from the shock. 1t is like war times.
No such disaster has been known in
modern naval affairs 1t is only hoped
that ont of the great sorrow may come
good, inasmuch us it may hasten the
action of the Berlin Conference.
Experienced naval officers at this
place think the disaster was in nosmall
degree due to the parsimony Of the
Government as to coal. American YES
sells in harbor are not allowed to keep
up their fires and as it is the work OF
two hours to get up steam with cold
boilers the United States vessels were
at the mercy Of the sudden storm.

rHEmIssOURI ARBITRATOR.

Between the bountiful wheat and
corn crops of Kansas and the
highest possible money return for them
are the charges of transportation and
handling.
Let the farmers take a look and
find out where transportation charges
pinch. When wheat sells at IS cents
in New York the same grade brings so
cents in Chicago and 65 cents in Kan
sas CITY. When corn brings 40 cents
in New York, the price in Chicago is
about 80 cents and in Kansas City
about "a cents. The Kansas farmer
under the same conditions gets no more
than IS cents for his corn, and in many
distant counties getting Is cents or
less. Chicago is in round numbers
more than twice as many miles from
New York as the eastern border of
Kansas, represented by Kansas City,
is from Chicago.
Tia freight charges from New York
to Liverpool are only cents a bush
ell on grain. From Chicago toBuffalo
by lake are only l 1-2 cents for corn and
2 cents for wheat. From Buffalo to
New York by canal the rates averaged
4 cents on wheat and corn during Au-
gust.
The difference in prices of wheat in
New York and Chicago is rarely more
than or cents. Between Kansas
City and Chicago the difference is Is
or IS cents. The price in Kansas fol
lows the regulation of the Liverpool
market. The New York price is the
Liverpool price minus the Transports
ton and handling charges. The Chi
cago prices is the New York price
minus transportation and handling
charges. Kansas City prices are gov
erned in the. same way and the Kansas
price according to the rule.
Kansas has nayigable water ready
for use on her eastern border. The
rate on grain eastward can be reduced
more than cents bushel by the river
and that cents will be put on the
price to the farmer. To show what
that would be worth TO Kansas, cal-
culation can be made from the figures
published yesterday of the estimated
corn yield. The increased price would
do more than apply to the surplus
grain actually shipped out Of the state.
It would AFFECT every bushel raised.
The waterways convention at Gin
cinnati called for utilization of the
interior river system, taking as an AK
iom the rule that water carriage is the
only check and regulator OF railway

to her, but invariably she ran into the
building, and he would disappear.
Two weeks ago, he stole into the
woodshed IN the rear Of the building
one afternoon and when she went into
the shed about O'Clock for some pur-
pose, made an assault, in which he
aimed to kill her. He struck her

managed to get away from him
By dashing out the door and
screaming for help. Suddenly he dis
appeared through a back door. The

. Very Bad Esg.

Judge Buckner, in that inimitable
style SO peculiar to himself, incurred
the displeasure of the reporters last
evening by uniting in marriage W. M.
Watts and Anna r. Hill, and thus
spelling first class sensationalism.
Saturday evening as County Attor-
ney Morris was preparing to go home,
a gentleman who gave his name as
Hill, walked into the Office, accompan-
led by a young girl apparently about
IA years of age who, he said, was his
daughter and who wanted to swear out
warrant for two men who had under
the Kansas laws) committed rape upon
her person. The girl Immediately de-
MED this and said that she wished to
make trouble fer neither of the men.
She said both men had been intimate
with her but that she had been viii
ling party to the crime which had been
often times repeated. The girl told
her story in a brazen sort of way which
was as follows:
She is but 10 years of age and small
for her years. Some time ago she be-
came acquainted with Watts and-a
a married man whose name we will say
is Jones. That she became after a
time intimate with them, ''and.n said
she, 81 guess it is nobody's business
but my own" At this statement her
father became greatly enraged and up
braided his daughter in a terrible man
ner. who seemed TO heed the abuse
very little. After the man had fin.
ished she said: Il know that was q
good girl when came to Wichita, but
I have acted to suit myself, and don't
know what you are going to do about
it. shall not prosecute either of the
boys.''
Finally the two left, the father agree
ing to come back Monday and take out
the warrant. For a time matter:
seemed to be of such a nature that 8
series of sensations would surely fol
low 1t seems, however, that to save
Jones, family, Watts agreed to marry
the girl.-Wichita Journal.

CHAUNCEY DEPEw said, among
other things in his address to the New
York state republican convention that
one of the things to which the atten-
tion of the government should be di-
rected, is the finding market for the
surplus output of American products
manufactured or otherwise. There is
no doubt about the correctness OF that,
although the suggestion reflects terri
bly, on the adequacy and suficiency of
the much boosted home market, which
was to answer every need, and satisfy
every call. Foreign markets are be-
come a dire necessity, and without
them woeful condition of things with
us is bound to come. But with one
country after another closing its ports
against us by way of retaliation, the
problem of securing such markets is
