EXPRESS COMPANIES,
The Kansas Railroad Commissioners De-
eide That They Must Accommodate Their
pafrons

The Kansas Railroad Commissioners De-
eide That They Must Accommodate Their
Patrons,
TOPEKA, Kan, June 4.-The State
Board of Railroad Commissioners has
reaffirmed its decision in the complaint
against the Wells-Fargo and Pacific Ex-
press Companies by the citizens of Law
renee. In all Kansas cities the express
companies have established arbitrary
limits, beyond which they refuse TO de-
liver goods. A test case was made at
Lawrence and the Railroad Commission
ers ordered that the Determinations
cease. A new hearing was obtained by
the express companies, and yesterday
the Commissioners reaffirmed their old
decision.
In its decision the Board says: at
may we'll be admitted that express COM
panies can not be required to carry on
their business at loss. They are en-
titled to fair and reasonable compen-
sation for the services they render. But
the question arises, what may the pub
lie demand as a right from an ex-
press company, as a common carrier,
at points where it has established
its agencies and conducts its business?
Among those it serves in like condi-
lions or similar circumstances it may not
discriminate, rendering to one service
it withholds from another, or charging
for service for one larger sum than
it at the same time charges for similar
service rendered for another"

Powder House Struck BY Lightning 10
Followed by . Fearful Exp.osion-sev-
eral Persons Killed and Injured.
MANSFIELD, O., June AT four
o'clock yesterday afternoon during a
thunder storm. lightning struck pow
der house one mile east of here, owned
by Tracy & Avery, which contained
over s, 600 pounds of powder.
A terrific explosion followed that was
felt distinctly in all parts of the city.
Hundreds of people were soon at the
scene. Not vestige of the little build
ing was left but a swath of destruction
had been swept in every direction.
Just across the road was the dwelling
of Henry Roost, in which at the time
were his wife and three children. The
house was shivered to atoms One Of
the children, fifteen months old, was
crushed and hurled thirty feet away,
ifeless Another, fourteen years old,
was so badly injured that she will die,
and the mother is yet unconscious from
injuries that will likely prove fatal
A new and unoccupied dwelling ada
cent to the Roost house was leveled to
the foundation. The force of the ex-
plosion was so terrific that the bricks of
the powder house were hurled full
quarter of mile away, the debris
sweeping over the fields and through
the adjacent woods, leaving path like
that of a shell-swept battlefield.

Fatal Results of a Storm at an Iowa Village
Property Destroyed.
DIES MONIES, Iowa. June "A terrific
storm visited Western Iowa Monday
night. Rain fell in great quantities
and in places the wind reached the force
of tornado, while the electric display
was meteoric in its brilliancy.
At Glenwood, Mills County, the storm
was very severe. The chimney of the
institute for feeble-minded children
blew down and crashed through the
roof, killing two and iniuring six others
of the inmates.
The killed are: Willie Cline of Clark
County and Wesley Emery of Monroe
County. The injured are: John Swalloe,
Dubuque; Willie Prather, Wayne
County; Fred Wright, Fort Dodge; Eddie
Sweet Lee County; Henry Snyder,
Benton County, and Sam Asllins.
Council Bluffs. Several of the injured
are not expected to recover.
The -four mill was wrecked and the
canning factory demolished. 1t was the
worst storm in the history of the city.
At Council Bluffs cellars were flooded
and culverts washed out. The con-
tiguous country is inundated and crops
in general are badly damaged and in
some cases destroyed.

THE SAC AND FOX TRIBE.
The Commission Makes an Offer to the In
dams Which Will Leave Them Quite

The Commission Makes an Offer to the In
dians which viii Leave Them Quite
Wealthy.
SAC AND Fox AGENCY, I. T., June A.
The Cherokee Commission at the Ma
tional Council of the Sac Nation made
an offer to give each member of the
tribe 100 acres as an allotment, of which
half shall be inalienable and untaxable
for twenty-five years. For the residue
of the land the amount to be paid de-
ponds upon where the allotments
are taken, and ranges from $780,
900 to S4S5, 200. The Sac and
Fox reservation contains 200
acres, of which $4,000 will 60 as allot-
ments to $50 Ind ians, and the balance,
If the offer is accepted, which seems
probable, will be opened to white settle
ment The offer of the Commission is
from 81 to Sl.25 an acre. The Sac tribe
has already $500, 900 in the treasury,
and if the offer is accepted will be very
wealthy. 1t is probably the best tribe
in the Territory in appearance, under
standing and civilization.

THE M'kINLEY BILL.
The Senate Should Now Complete the
Good Work Done I'm the House.

Good Work Done In the House.
The Mckinley tariff bill has passed
the House by the very comfortable ma
jority of I62 yeas to 142 nays. The vote
was drawn on party lines with two ex-
ceptions. Mr.. Colman, representing a
Louisiana sugar district, and who,
though former Democrat was elected
by Republicans, voted against it on &C
count of the sugar schedule. Mr.. Feath-
erstone, elected from one of the bull
dozed districts in Arkansas, but counted
out by practices common at the South
and recently admitted to his seat in a
contest, voted against it He repre-
sents a cotton district, and wanted the
duty removed from cotton ties" kind
of hoop-iron used in baling cotton. He
was willing to have the duty retained
on the rest of the hoop-irOn schedule,
but wanted it removed from hoop-irOn
used in preparing for market the staple
product of his district.
For the pluck, the skill and fidelity
of Major Mckinley and the other Re-
publican members of the committee on
ways and means; for the dignity, pa
thence and impartiality of Congressman
Grosvenor, who presided over the
committee of the whole: for the readi-
ness, courage and imperturbable use of
his lawful powers by Speaker Reed, md
for the final unanimity of the Repub-
liean majority, with the two exceptions
named, only the highest praise is due
from the people of the country. All
these elements contributed to the sue
cess which crowned the long struggle
and from the beginning assured the de-
sired end.
1t is now for the Senate to do its duty.
The Republicans of the country expect
the Republican members of that body to
accept the bill substantially as it passed
the House. The enemies of the Repub-
lican party inside and outside of it's
lines predict that the Senate will pull
the bill to pieces" will amend it be-
yond recognition and will send it back
to the House so mutilated and changed
as in effect to destroy it. 1t is not be-
lieved that there will be such an at
tempt by Republican Senators to serve
the Democratic free trade party. Not
only should the bill be passed substan-
tally as it comes from the House, but
be limited and an early date fixed for
the vote. If the Senate should keep the
bill fortnight the country will be dis
appointed. The entire tariff question
has been debated till the public is
weary. Let there be an end of it, and
as soon as possible.-Chicago Journal.

The Other Side of the question.

The Nashville American says: 'Give
the South fair deal" That is a per-
fectly proper request if it is not con-
ceiycd in the same spirit as was the de-
mand of the South in 1861: "Let us
alone" II the American means to play
the game fairly, not only with regard
to part of the people, but with regard
to all of them, then every consideration
Of justice and good policy requires that
1t shall have fair deal The best sem
timent of the country is never likely to
let the South alone, until, with respect
to educating and conceding them all
legal rights, it gives the colored people
a fair deal and fair play throughout the
game of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Ledger

High Art In Millinery.

Great art is exercised in the Great on
Of some of the summer bonnets. and the
flower bonnets are triumphs of floral
grace and beauty. The newest are of
rose-stalks, with brown leaves and
thorns intertwined, and an uptown inn
porter is making herself famous by her
display of flower toques and bonnets
alone. No two are at all alike, and the
customers come, see, and are conquered,
and straightway want, not one or two,
but six at least, to be at all satisfied, as
to choose single bonnet out of all that
wilderness of realistic bloom and actual
fragrance would require nothing short
of Spartan fortitude. Tulle, velvet and
flower sprays form some of the models;
others are of leaves and vines entire;
still others show a creamy mass of
flowers TO set above the hair like crown
great Tosca roses, sprays of chestnut
bloom, azaleas, full-blown shrimp-pink
roses, or moss buds, with maidenhair
fern, etc. They look like a delicious,
odorous bunch of June flowers; put up

fully dress it at once.-N. Y. Post.

young weaver, plying Queen Victoria's
widowed condition, recently wrote 9
letter proposing to marry her and added
that no sum of money would buy him off
from the purpose of becoming her
Majesty's husband He was bounced
upon by the royal household police and
arraigned before a magistrate on a
charge Of lunacy. The magistrate did
not take the old time-honored view of
the case and shocked the household
police by declining to send the youth to
a lunatic asylum. Young Carter was
turned over to the custody Of his father.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Nobody rememb ers a time when
tariff agitation disturbed general trade
so little as it does just now. This proves
that business throughout the country is
being conducted on a safe and conserva-
tive basis.--St Louis Globe-Democrat
S The sugar trust put something
like 500, 600 into the Democratic cam
paign of 1883. 1t will probably increase
its contribution this year in the effort
to get revenge on the Republicans for
passing the new tariff bill.-Toledo 70. }

Turning from groceries to dry goods
we still find a decided reduction in
prices. For instances: Unbleached mus
lin, which in 1880 was selling at s cents
per yard, can now be bought at cents.
The "taxed" calico. which was then
selling at Z cents, can now be had at 5
cents per yard, just the amount of duty.
Ginghams, which then cost 1871 cents,
can now be purchased for 10
cents per yard. The same ten
dency is true with respect to
worsted dress goods, which in 1880 cost
respectively Is, IS and IS cents and 81,
but can now be bought for 1919, 25, so
and IS cents respectively. On laces and
embroideries since 1880 there has been
q reduction of SS1I per cent; on silks
and velvets from 25 to S3x per cent
reduction; on carpets, from 25 TO S31S
per cent, and general reduction on
dry goods from % to SO per cent, With
in the decade. A similar reduction from
80 to SO per cent. is noted on ready
made clothing within the same time.
On footwear there has been likewise an
average re1uction since 1850 of 3S1S per
cent So has this reduction followed
with respect to watches, clocks and jew
elry. A silver watch which in 1880
could not be bought for less than $40
sells now for S12. Since 1880 reduc-
ton from 25 to 50 per cent has been had
in the retail prices of furniture. For
instance, a half dozen wooden chairs
which can now be bought for So, sold
then at 81 80 and S.. Bedsteads which
could not be bought then for less than
81 and So, can now be had for SI.75 and
$3.50. And it may be noted in this con-
nection, while the raw material OF
which the furniture is made has not de-
creased in price, neither have the wages
OF laborers in factories been reduced
