PHIL ARMOUR testified before the
senate committee Saturday. OF course,
there was no combine, he lis not in
the cattle business" as all, has never
none a thing or taken step to lower
the price OF beef. He could not think
of such thingl Others may have done
so, but not lie. He never attempted
to freeze out local butchers and intro
duce his own beef and pork-that is,
never, but once, at Akron, Ohio when
the local butchers ran boycott on
him, and then he felt that he was JUS
titled in hopping the earth with them.
The simple truth. according to Mr..
Armour, is that he is much injured
man, whose margin of profits in beef
packing is comparatively small. Peo-
pie raise too many cattle to command
good prices. Best cuts still as high
as ever? Well, yes. But then
more people eat good beef
than formerly and the price of
canned and common beef is so
low, that a much higher figure must
be maintained for roasts, sirlOins,
poIterhuuses and the like. 1t is a
very pretty story, and proves-if it
proves anything-that Mr. Armour is
benefactor to the race!

TIE legal investigation of the char
acter of Mormonisn just ended IN
Utah, demonstrates The fact that its
organization is wonderful, and its
power the most tyIannical under the

commands of the heads of the church
is primal and imperative doctrine to
which every saint must subsci ibe.
Terrible oaths are exacted in the en-
dOwment house including VOW to
aVenge upon the government of the
United States the deaths of Joseph
and Hiram Smith. Awful penalties
are voluntarily incurred by the postu-
,lants as punishment should they ever
reveal the secrets of the endowment

If his Doodle election does not disqual-

ESTIMATES BEING MADE

BY the officials of the Kansas City, Lawrence
Wichita Railway Upon the Cost of the
Proposed Line Through EmpOria.
From gentleman in the city who
received a letter from the officials of
the Kansas City, Lawrence s. Wichita
railway, we were informed to-day that
the company have men engaged at the
present time in making estimates as to
the probable cost of this line of road ,
which Empnria is figuring on securing.
The estimates being completed, the
propositions will no doubt be submitted
and the work of establishing to a GER
tainty, the construction of the load
through this point. will be considered,
faVorably we hope, by the citizens of
Empor:a and surrounding country.
Those who are acquainted with this
city cannot but fully realize the bene-
fits this road wouid insure to Lyon
county. We now have two lines of
railroad service and the third would
add the charm to the prosperity of the
business success of Emporia. BY these
reasons it is we'll proven that the Car
bondale to this city and on to Wichita
is quite the proper thing.

| considerably more bottom and staying
qualities in the resubmission campaign
though that is perceptibly weaker
than in the anti-IngaIls' toray which
seems to have fallen ignominionsly
outside the breast works. There is no
reaction noticeable, howe .er, in his
favor. That is a trille portentous, and
indicates. that certain degree of apa-

him that he must be up and doing.
! Not that he is menaced with any SER

possibilities of danger should be guard

that he do something during the pres
ent session of congress to revive and
reawaken the old enthusiasm for his
J name among the people, which several
years of inactiOn as president of the
senate has allowed to become chilled
| into Il state of lethargy. \ single
speech, if timely and pitched i'll the

him on pedestal so high that Jay

down before him in humble alteration,

hide themselves in postoffice, depu-

But for ingalls, reputei intellectual

scorn of what and whom he does not

main cause OF whatever opposition
there may be to his reelection. Such
men as he are ever rubbing this ones
old sore, trampling on that ones self
pride, and holding up to scorn an
others pet prejudice. For such in
temperance of spirit and language
there is a penalty which time rarely
falls to bring about. Every dog mas

But their is a way to torestall such a

victory over his enemies and that is to
take leading part in a congressional
debate, and do the JingO act with all
his might. Sound and fury of the |
Berserker sort has a charm and a fas-

OF all this, of course, and consequently

The Emporia Republican makes a
plea this morning for, constitutional
convention based on the assumption
that union between the resubmis-
sionlsts and democrats would not only
demolish prohibition, but even the re-
publican party itself, should the de-
mand for a convention next year be
refused. The argument is equivalent
to confession that the resubmission-
lists including allNopposed to prohibi-
ton, are in the majority, or in a fair
way to become such before long. Such
an admission ought to make Easley Of
the Hutchinson News roar.

Cattle Released from Quarantine.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 30.-A Topeka
pecial to the Star says: The Live Stock
Sanitary commission in session to-day
in this city ordered that the cattle now
held in quarantine in Kansas under the
rules of the commission to prevent the
spread of the Texes fever, be released
from quarantine to-day, as the sea-
son is passed when the Texas
fever is likely to prove disastrous to
Kansas cattle. Only three herds are
now ia quarantine, one in Franklin
county, one in Cherokee county and
one at Kiowa, all of which are Texas
or Indian Territory cattle. The com
missioner received report from the
inspector at Kansas City to the effect
that about 20, 900 head of stockers and
feeders have been shipped out of Kan
sas City markets during the past yeal
to Kansas cattlemen for the purpose oil
fattening.
The cattle came principally from
Colorado, New Mexico and the Par
Handle. One of the members of the
commission said to a reporter, ''In ad-
| ditiOn to the 20, 900 head shipped out
of Kansas City, we estimate that TO-.
coo head were shipped direct to Kan
saS cattlemen and did not go through
Kansas City. This would make l40,

KANSAS CRY, Nov. 30.-An Atchi-

since tbs appointment of q metropolis
tan police commission for Atehison,
the commissioners and the municipal

should the receipts equal the expenses.
The joints have been running open in
Atehlson ever since the commissioners
took charge of the police last April,
the police collecting from $50 to 800 u
month from every jointist- This has
oeen an open secret in the community,
but the local papers have not recently
mentioned it. In an interview with q
reporter on an Omaha paper, Mayor
Waggoner gave the secret away and
taking alarm last night the commiss
toner's ordered the police to close all
places where liquor has been sold con-
LEary TO law. Accordingly the joints
were closed and thirsty citizens must
walk across the bridge for the purpose
of irrigatinR. One of the commission
ers is quoted as saying that the Wag-
goner interview was not the cause of
the order, but that it had come TO the
knoWledge or the commissioners that
local pr0hibitioniStS were preparing to
secure the appointment OF an assistant
attorney general and to avoid such u
step. the order to close the ints were
issued. II the order remains in force
the city will have to make an extra ap-
preparation of 81 600 every month to
defray the expenses of the police de-
partment.

teachers Of Northwest Kansas were in

resolution, and sent the news to Nc
Pherson. The teachers of Southwest
Kansas were in session the same day
