stock beet from his Huron farm. The
Colonel has some 10000 of these vegeta-

better to winter Young stock upon than
corn. When chopped up fine and mixed

SLAPPED A coNGRESsM AN.

Mayor Davenport. of Kansas City,
and Mr.. Tarsney Have Serious
Quarrel.
KANSAS CrT1, No., October 3O.-Mayor
Davenport slapped Congressman Tarsney
full in the face and in return nearly received
q shot from the congressman's revolver, It
was all on account of the entertainment of
the Pan-American tourists. The mayor had
vetoed an ordinance passed by the city
council approprlating 81 600 to expend in
entertaining the party. The council over
rode the veto, and then the mayor ordered
the treasurer not to recognize drafts upon
the treasury fer the purpose. During the
discussion Congressman Tarsney referred
in terms not very complimentary to the
mayors action. Mayor Daven. ort started
to leave the room. and on doing SO said:
'If can help it. not a penny of the city's
money shall be used Illegally, but / will
contribute from my own purse as much as
Mr.. Tarsney or any otner man for the en-.
tertainment of the delegates
Mr.. Tarsney replied: II do not care to
resort to pothouse methods"
This enraged Mr.. Davenport, and in an
angry tone sc defied the congressman to
repeat the statement. Mr.. Tarsney repeated
it. The words were no sooner out of his
mouth when tie mayor dealt him aresound-
ing slap full in the face. Mr.. Tarsney
reached into his hip pocket to draw his re-
volver. but his friends prevented him from
using the weapon.

Oswego Independent: Mr.. r. w.
Mathis, of Elizabeth, KY, has been in
Labette City for the past week. His
visit here was brought about in novel
way. He advertised for a wife and a
Labette City belle thought she would
find out whether he was really in ear
nest by writing him upon the subject.
Photographs were exchanged and valu-
able presents sent, the result of their
correspondence. He telegraphed her
to meet him at the train in Labette
City, which she did. and both parties
seem to be well pleased with their ven
ture. Mr.. Mathis is wealthy, and ap-
pears to be perfect gentleman and it
is the general opinion of all that our
lady friend will do well to hitch on.

Resolved. By TIE farmers of the states
lying between the Mississippi and Missouri
river valleys and of the states of Oregon,
Wdshlngto nd California in national con-
vention assembled:
First-That We hereby memoriallze our
national congress and the president of the
United States, and do most seriously petit
ton them to make such reciprocity treaties
with those foreign nations TO whom We ship
our surplus fam pro uctS as wilt cause the
foreign NATL rs 70 remove the Gust IN duties
from cur farm products shipped abroad,
thereby causing US to receive higher price
for our foreign farm surplus and thereby
fixing higher price upol all that We sell
at home.
Second-That we ask that such steps be
taken by our national congress as viii de-
stroy the present existing mo1opolleS and
trusts and prevent the formation of Others.
Third-And to the end that we may get
our farm implements at less price: that
the present laws be repealed that place a
duty on farming implements or the ray
materials used in their manufacture.
Fourth-That we are more deeply inter-
ested in the carrying out of the above reso-
lutions than We are in the success OF any
political party.
A very animated debate followed, WHICH
was decidedly Official in its character. The
free traders greatly outnumbeIed the pro-
tectioniStS and the resolutions were finally
adopted by a large majority.
1t is said that an attempt will be made in
the convention to set price of 81 on JAM
uary wheat and 95 cents on December wheat,
and that some of the members will en3eavor
to get the farmers to pledge themselves to
not dispose of their crops for less,

TIE Flour Output,

MIsNEAFoLIs, October 25.-The amount
of -four made last week was about the same
as the week before. The aggregate output
of the twent. lone mills was Ice, $50 barrels,
against $4,000 barrels the preceding week
and 1sO, 200 for the corresponding time in
1888. A declining wheat market has had
the effect of pretty much putting stop to
trading in flour and millers are giving their
chief attention to filing old orders. Flour
prices are quotably lower. The shipments
of -four were very heavy last week, exceed
ing the production slightly. The most no.
ticeable feature of the week was the large
arrivals of wheat in the northwest. They
were S59, 43S bushels greater than for the
same week In any previous year.

ToPxxA, KAN, October 2&-5udge Guth-
ne rendered decision in the case entitled
the City of Topeka, plaintiff, ". David A.
Wiser, defendant. This case has attracted
an unusual amount of interest, which was
rot confined to Topeka. Tho big packing
houses of Kansas City and Chicago were
quite a. much interested as we're the meat
vendors of Topeka. The case was appealed
by the defendant Wiser, from the police
court to the district court Judge Guthrie
in hls decision sustains the validity of the
city ordinance His decision Is as follows:
The ordinance of the city of Topeka re-
quires that all ANIMALS designed for human
food, before being killed within certain
limits of the city, shall be inspected on foot
and branded, and all meat offered for sale
in the city shall also be inspected and
branded by the food inspector before of
fered for sale, or sold. The defendant DID
not call on the food inspector to inspect hls
meat before offering it for sale ID admitted.
The rule is quite well established in tins
state that part of an act of the legislature
may be Unconstitutional and part in har-
mony with that instrument, and part OF the
act may stand and the balance fail Now,
if it was the Intention of the moyor and
to impede or prevent commerce between
the states. and proper case shall arise. and
upon full consideration the court should
conclude that a part of these ordinances
were unconstitutional, it is very doubtful to
or mind VIII ether so much of these ordl-
nances as require all meat or food to be in
spected before offered for sale to the inhab-
itants of the city should be held obnoxious
to the constitution. That the city has the
right authority to require all food to be in
spected, whether domestic or foreign, be-
fore 1t is offered for sale, all agree. In de-
termining whether an act of the legislature
or city ordinance is constitutional or not
the rule is that the court will not declare
such act or ordinance unconstitutional IN
less it clearly appears to be so. We are not
prepared to say that ne feieral question
endeavored TO be made the subject of in
QuIry n this action is before the court. and
we will not go beyond this case to decide any
such question until it is our duty to do SO.
If the question should arise in the future
We shall cheerfully meet it. This case hav-
ing been appealed from the police court for
the purpose of testing the legal rights of the
defendant and the force and effect of these
ordinances, nominal fine will be imposed
on the defendent.

More Railroad Scheming.

NEw YORK. October 29.-It was announced
here on excellent authority that an enorm-
GUS railroad com bination is about to be
consumm ated. Not very long ago the leg
islature of Connecticut granted an extraor-
binary charter to number of gentlemen,
among whom was Mr.. Sage, who declared
that the company they represented would
have capital of s15QOOO.OO0. Associated
with Mr.. Sage in this company are Sidney
Dillon and Eugene Zimmerman. together
with George Could and. it is said General
Wager Swayne. The milk in the cocoanut,
as explained by excellent authority, is this:
The first three gentlemen mentioned are
deeply interested in the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton & Dayton, the Wheeling d Lake Erie,
and almost half dozen of their connecting
lines. The two roads mentioned would
form a very important nucleus for an ex-
tension of their connection to the east and
west. The Come cticut charter, it is de-
clared, was obtained for the purpose of
combining these two TO ids and enabling the
incorporators to bring under the ownership
and management of the Connecticut COM
pany great many miles of valuable rail-
way property with terminals at st. Paul
and some southern port, or possibly st. Paul
and Baltimore. The plans are now being
put into active operation, it q said, and the
lively short time. The control of the new
company, say the gossips, will extend over
the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton, the
Wheeling & Lake Erie, the Dayton, Fort
Wayne a Chicago, the Iowa Central and the
Minnesota d Northwestern. Mr.. Sage is
vice president of the Iowa Central, and is a
holder of large block of its stock. The
Louisville, New Albany & Chicago will give
the company line from Cincinnati to Chi
cago and from Chicago to Louisville. The
company will be able to compete with the
great trunk lines for business IN the north
west, and will be in position to extend its
connections to st. Louis. 1t was rumored
that the refusal, by those concerned, to
converse about the proceedings of the COM
pany led many to pace reliance in the re-
ported pan of the combination to unite the
Northwestern with the Atlantic. Mr.. Sage,
who is supposed to be the most deeply in
terested in the scheme, refused. however,
to deny that such a general extension of the
roads IN which he is interested was contem-
plated. One of the persons who happened
to be in the confidence of Mr.. Zimmerman
said that the pro. ect had been under consid-
Grafton for several months. When the
through traffic arrangement will be made
the speaker was not in a position to say,
bu. he declared that it would probably 90
into effect at the latest by November Is.

ment that is likely to spread to all parts of
the country was inaugurated at conveu-
ton held here. 1t is a combination of
farmers and dairymen for the purpose of
regulating the wholesale market, sauelch-
ing the milk exchange and dealing directly
with the transportation companies in order
that the farmers may secure the largest
possible returns. Although at present in
terstate and confined to the east, it is in
tended to extend the organization to the
west and make it national one. The rail-
roads IN this section are cooperating with
the farmers, and have agreed Epon a sched-
ule of special rates for the transportation of
their products.
