KANSAS FREIGHT RATES.

From the Topeka Capital.
Representatives of all the railroads
operating in Kansas held a conference
yesterday afternoon with the board of
railroad commissioners to discuss freight
rates in Kansas. Some changes are to
be made at an early day and it is the
desire of the board to agree upon Just
and equitable basis for the new tariff.
The changes to be made by the recent
order relative to jobbing rates to Wichita
and other cities were discussed at length.
Nothing was done by the board in the
matter. The various roads were repre-
sented at the meeting as follows: Atch-
ison. Topeka & Santa Fe-J. T. Goddard,

WHAT THE COURT SAID.

In the mandamus liquor case at En-
poria, about which so much has been
said, the supreme court in its decision,
returning the liquors to the owners,
says:
Intoxicating liquors are not contraband
nor outlawed in this state. They are still
property IN legal contemplation and may
be legally sold for certain purposes. and
may be legally used for almost any pur-
pose for which intoxicating liquors may
ever be used.
Easter certainly has right to his writ
of replevin, notwithstanding the order Of
injunction from the district court. The

wounded for every 1000 in the Mexican
war, while there were 1874 killed,
wounded and starved to death in the
late war on the union side, or 1S5 out

of difference is not so great as at first
appears when we come to think of the
difference in the time it took and the

believe otherwise, it affords a good point
fer the encouragement of the canning

ment than any of the grasses. and, as a
crop to turn under, there is nothing SUI
perior. 1t quickly fills the soil with
its roots, the tap-roots reaching
great depths, bringing up large
amount of fertility from below,
much of which is left as fertiliZing
material near the surface, by the decay
of the roots, which are equal in weight
to the stalks and foliage. The clovers
are plants requiring lime; hence, tena-
cious soils, as those containing consider
able clay or mari, are especially adapted
to their growth. Thus, alfalfa Is fully
at home liz the west, where clay and
loamy soils are common.

first the keynote to the other two. Yet:
how many farmers live up 10 the full

list of grasses goes beyond timothy, red

are there who understand fully the fact

They work ont their own fortunes and at the
same time fortunes for their neighbors and for
the community at large. There is most perfect
harmony between the interests Of the real
estate men and the welfare and advancement
Of the city. All business men are bound by
this sympathy, but the real estate men are
more visibly so. The more active and ensr-
getic one is, the more public spirited and bent
upon improving the city, the more successful.
They get q commission on the progress and
well being of the city, and the more they con-
tribute to this progress the more they make.
Like Chinese doctors, they get paid only when
the patient is we'll They are always feeling
the pulse of the city, and administering whole
some tonics when necessary. AL their efforts
are to make the city finer and yet again to i'm
prove it Their interests lie in all sections,
and they are always for advancement They
take personal risks, and may some times suffer
personal loss, but every move they make 10 q
benefit to the city. They are hustlers-quick
to see and prompt to act. They are always
reaching out to beautify and enlarge the city,
TO attract people here and TO increase values
Their activity benefits the whole business COM
munity. Washington rewards and encourages
their activity by the tempting opportunities 1t
holds out to them and by its attractions that
make all men who can want to live here and
the rest Of mankind to regret the necessities
that keeps them away. Real estate in WASH
ington can never depreciate until the national
government itself is threatened and the num-
erous, active and progressive, men-the real
estate agents-will continue to be prominent
figures in business circles and in the roster of
citizenship. They have all learned by exper-
fence that they cannot succeed without adver-
Using and the columns of The STAR bristle with
the information they have to give the public
about choice property at the capital
