Car Load Kates Restored.


TOPEKA Kan, Feb 2.-The general COM
plant made by shippers against the new
live stock tariffs resulted in the Board Of
Railroad Commissioners issuing an order
yesterday which restored the old tariff.
The new tariff went into effect jan
uary l. 1t changed from the uniform
rates per car, based on distance, to rates
on the weight of freight carried which
required all stock to be weighed at term
mi of transportation. Shippers allege
that this caused great damage to stock by
delays IN weighing at Kansas City aud
also made an advance in freight
charges. The commissioners find on in
vestigation that the business of the
shippers was being seriously damaged by
reason of inadequate facilities for weigh
ing the large shipments arriving each day
upon the track scales. The railroads are
very much opposed to the change and it is
said that some of them will refuse to go
back to the old tariff

the advertisements IF the above named goods.
Woven wire fencingis rapidly becoming the
most popular fencing Owing to the fact
that the McMullen fencing has twisted
wire rope selvage, instead OF q single wire
selvage, and that it is made of the very best
steel wire, galvanized before weaving, it is
considered by stock men, railroad men and
others to be the best article OF the kind now
on the market. Read their advertisement

rl.. Origin OF n. ch.el Rov,r.

A chain, stretched across the field and
suchored, to operate the mechanism OF Q
corn-planter as drawn along, is an idea
that was commonly known Is far back as
thirty-hve years ago to those giving atten-
ton to planting machinery. But the exper-
iments made with it did not reach beyond
the simple rudiments, and without much
promise OF successful results, owing to the
great expense Of chain suitable and other
seemingly insurmOuntable difficulties. To
the inventor Of the Haworth Check Rover,
however, Is due the credit Of combining the
elements that constitute the completed and
practical machine which has been OF such
inestimable benefit to the corn producer Of
the West.
Geo. d. Haworth began experiments in
the spring Of 1857 with the idea of making q
check-row attachment for the corn-planter
then in general use. first trying iron wire for
. check-line, jointed together so as to form
knots at the proper intervals and run at the
side OF the machine. A movement to throw
the slide-bar Of the planter back and forth
by the direct force Of the checkline being
necessary for an attachment, the one first
gotten up was substantially the same as
those now in common use, namely: the forked
retractile arm with pawl and ratchet wheel,
spur wheel and piniOn, SO that at each
stroke Of the arm half revolution was
made-thus, with crank on the pinion,
motion was communicated to the side bar,
but, on its becoming evident that iron wire
was not durable enough, cotton rope was
adopted as the best thing available at that
time for the purpose, the use of which,
however, made it necessary that mechanic
al devices be provided especially adapted As
to the movement and to lay the rope over
by the machine. After the trial Of various
plans, that embodied in the Haworth Check
Rover as now made was adopted as the
best, and time has verified the correctness
of that conclusion.
When Bessemer Steel wire became avail
able as cheap and durable material it was
substituted in place Of rope.
This machine il unequalled In its perfect
adaptation to the use OF q wire check line.
Mr.. Haworth was the first to devise the
means whereby forward and return move
ment was given to the dropper slides by the
direct force of the knotted check line. This
and other principles originated by him are
common to all check-rowers.
The Haworth Check Rover and Corn
Planter, manufactured by Haworth & Sons,
Decatur, ILL.,, are the outgrowth of thirty
five years experience in the invention, man
ufacture, introduction and use Of planting
machinery.

An Aduance representative had the pleas
ure of meeting Mr.. W. W. Scott, one of the
secretaries of the committee, and found him
to be a most genial and cultivated gentle
man. When asked about the headquarters
of the committee being established In THIS
city, Mr.. Scott said II do not know any
reason why the headquarters should be
changed. We have always fought our sue
cessfal fights with the headquarters In
Alexandria. Although it is not central
point still the mail and telegrsphic facili-
ties make up for that. consider that
IL was an unfortunate thing that the mat
ter was preached at all. There has been
some feeling epgendered and some sores
made by the discussion of that matter, and
while we are ell striving for the same thing,

ence where the headquarters are situated"
Our reporter suggested that as sue

we're established in live city like Lynch

Mr.. Scott sesmed somewhat piqued IN the mat,

stated frankly that he had never been consulted

as he was one of the interested parties, he should
have something to say as to where he should go.
