KANSAS RAILROADS

Parsons Journal: Freight business
on the NJ, K. & T. Just now was never
better for this time of the year in the
history of the road. There is not an
idle railroad man in the city, and many
of the tralnmen have hardly time to eat
their meals or trot the baby on their
knee, SO great is the demand of the
road. Passenger traffic is equally
large, and every train reaching this
station is freighted to its utmost ca
pacity with its load of precious hui
manity.
Kansas has more miles OF railroads
than all the New England states put
together. She has .1,159 more miles
than the great empire state OF New
York, whose population and wealth sur
pass Kansas four to one. She has more
than the great states of Pennsylvania,
Iowa, or Texas. Kansas to-day has
1854 miles of railroad. Illinois alone
surpasses her with $500 miles. Next
comes Iowa with 1894 miles Follow
ing her is Pennsylvania with 1924.
Then comes Texas with S,210 miles.
Only think of it, During the three
years from 1886 to 1888 inclusive, Kan.
sas constructed 1886 miles ofrailroads,
which is more than any one Of twenty
seven OF her sister states have in oper-
alton to-day. and there are only thirteen
states in the union who have a greater
mileage Of railroads than Kansas built
in these three years. And yet, with
this immense mileage, there are some
other new lines and connections needed
to perfect the railway system of the
state Two or three are now in course
OF preparation for actual work OF con-
structiOn. It is evident, therefore, and
altogether probable that before the
close Of the year 1890 Kansas viii have
full 10000 niles Of railway in opera
ton.

AMon.ter :.Rai1road strIke.

CAIRO, ILL, June pa committee of the
strikers came here, and on their order every
freight train between here and Centralia, on
the Illinois Central, was sidetracked. The
passenger coaches were detached from two
trains, and local roads were notified not to
handle Central cars going to other lines.
CHICAGo.-A crisis in the big strike of the
Illinois Central trainmen is reached. After
an all day session the conference between
the strikers committee and the Illinois Cen
trail officials ended with positive refusal on
the part of the railroad company to discharge
Superintendent Russell.
This was the ultiraatum as far as the COM
pany was concerned. The ultimatum of the
employees, and indeed the occasion of the
strike has been a demand for Russell's dis
charge. The reason given being hi3 alleged
general obnoxiousness." How far the lines
of the other companies will be involved was
also the subject of much discussion among
those interested.

Pennsylvania Republicans.

HARRIsBURe, June 2S.-The republican
state convention completed its work. George
Wallace Delamater was nominated for gov
ernor on the second ballot. The nomination
is said to be in accord with Senator Quay's
wishes.
Of the money question the resolutions say:
1.-THE phenomenal increase of our popula-
ton and of our commerce, foreign and do
mestic,' with the decrease in the circulation
of our national banks renders it imperatIvely
essential to the general good in our judgment
that there shall be a speedy and substantial
increase in the currency of the country.
UncompromisIngly hostile to monometalism,
whether of gold or silver, and earnestly
favoring the use of both az coin metals, the
republican party of Pennsylvania demands
the enactment by the congress now in ses-
sion of such legislation as will, while secur-
ing the fullest use of silver as money, most
certainly secure and maintain a parity be
tween the two metals"

The Late Hot Spell Was Caused by South
Winds.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1.-The present
period of continued high temperature in the
middle Mississippi valley is unprecedented
for June. Beginning with Thursday, June
19, when the temperature was ten degrees
above the normal or usual height, it has
gradually risen till the 26th and 9th to nearly
twenty degrees above. The maximum tenn
peratures for the past eight days have ex-
ceeded the highest ever known for an equal
period In June. The cause for this abnormal
condition has been the uniform high pres
sure in the Gulf region with an almost sta
tlonAry low pressure area in the northwest.
This distribution of the atmosphere has
caused steady flow of warm dry air to the
northward. The inflow of air has been slow
to induce rainfall, and the consequent clear
sky has been favorable to extreme radiation
from the sun, which has raised the tempera-
ture with the usual relief from the passage
from storms across the country.
Somewhat similar conditions prevailed over
the eastern United States in May, 1881, and
In the middle Mississippi valley in June 1874
and 1887. 1t is no indication of change in
climate.

A Gain In FIour Prodnction.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, June 28.-The mills
scored quite a gain in output last week, says
the Northwestern Miller. The aggregate
production of eleven mills was g, 500 barrels
against $3.50 barrels the week before, and
los, 800 barrels for the same week in 1889,
and Is, 200 barrels in 1888. The present iu-
dications point to an aggregate output for the
week of about 81, 900 barrels. There is rather
a better tone to the -four market and conf
dence appears to be growing, even in quar-
tiers heretofore radically bearish. Many
leading lights of the trade, who have until
now believed wheat too high, think that it
has got down to a solid basis and look for a
stronger market and an improved business.
The stocks of -four in the hands of middle
men are declared to be excessively light.

four Cotswolds last week.
Greensburg Times: Kiowa county
parties are negotiating for 1000 head
of New Mexico cattle to pasture on our
prairies. This means a better pnce for
corn this fall
Buffalo Advocate: W. K. Dryden is
building large granary and corn crib
on his farm near town. Mr.. Dryden
put up arge barn last fall, and when
his cribs are completed he will have the
finest farm buildings in this section Of
the country.
Moran Herald: The late rain gives
Allen county the finest prospect for
larger crop than any OF the old settlers
have ever witnessed before, and with
few showers between now and fall,
there is no doubt but what corn will
make heavier yield than it did last
year.
Ellinwood Advocate: To judge by
the number of headers sold this spring,
the farmers have beautiful crop Of
wheat. About one hundred machines
were sold in the east end of the
county, and every farmer who bought
one has a good stand of grain. The
harvest has commenced and nearly all
of our farmers are busy reaping the
harvest they have sown.
Ellsworth Republican: Bert Ban
field brought to this city samples Of
wheat taken from the fields near Lor-
raine, which showed fine and full
berry. He states that the wheat fields
are looking well and will average
twenty-five bushels to the acre. He
noted one field of some 400 acres, be-
longing to John DUR, which was ex-
ceptionally good, and would yield the
above estimate.
Ashland Clipper: F. L. Lloyd has
good reason to answer in the afirma-
tive the question, ''does sheep-ralsing
pay in Clark county," His 500 head
have averaged him five pounds of wool
per head, of grade that is now selling
at % cents, making an average of $1.16
per head. He allows himself reasonable
wages and counts in all expenses, in
Guiding that of hiring a shed, and finds
they have cost him less than so cents
per head for the past year, he having a
clear profit of 65 cents per head.

Bishop spauldinp creates a sensation.

NoTRE DAME, IND, June 28.-The radical
declaration of Bishop Spaulding, of Peoria,
speaking to the faculty and students of Notre
Dame university on the position of woman,
has created sensation here among Catho-
lies. At the commencement of st. Mary's
academy he went even further. He said that
the position of women had been the position
that southern planters gave their slaves. II
was no better to-day than it was years ago.
They were treated kindly as the slaves of the
men he knew had been treated, but kept in
ignorance. In this country. however, women
had emancipated themselves. American
women are more intelligent than American
men. The bishops words seemed very like a
statement of advanced belief in woman s
rights. They were applauded again and
again.

rhirty-one Dead and Burned.

DUNBAR, Pa. July Again are the res.
cuers and relatives of the thirty-one en-
tombed miners doomed to disappointment
The force who took their lives in their hands
when they went into the Mahoning pit, came
out without having pierced the Hill
Farm mine. The hole drilled into what
was supposed to be an entry of the Inflated
mine was only crevice. The rescuers de-
clare the maps are wrong, and they are as
much in the dark now as at any time since
the search was begun thirteen days ago.
The regular shift started in again, and the
brave but dlsheartened men are searching
for an entry that will lead into the burning
pit The work is very dangerous, but the
men will not abandon the search until they
have accomplished their purpose, and lind
their comrades. or the fierce flames force
them to give up the task. The fire in the
mine is burning with great ferceness, and
immense volumes of smoke and flames are
issuing from the mouth of the pit.
The fire broke out with force, and now,
fierce as a whirlwind, is raging for 1000 feet
down into the yawning mouth of the Hill
Farm mine. For two hours before the
flames burst out huge pillows of smoke,
black, dense and deadly, rolled over each
other into the air and drifted upward, form
ing ponderous monument OF mourning to
the dead inside. A rumbling, rushing sound,
like q swiftly moving train through tunnel,
preceded the flames. ~
1t was indeed an awful sight, and when,
with brilliant flash, the great column of
smoke was ignited the heavens seemed afiame
The surrounding country was lighted up
guiding the excited, nervous'crowds to the
scene. Those who had been watching at the
Mahoning mine hurried over the hill to the
fire. The people of Dunbar, who could see
the Redeemed heavens from the village, rushed
about in confusion, fearful that another
calamity had occurred.

There is bank at Herington, Kan,
called the First National Bank of Her
ington. If excessive charges for doing
business is a criterion for making
money and declaring big dividends,
this bank must be among the tip-top
ones of the state. The Kansas News
paper Union, short time ago, sent
collection to it of less than S100 With
this collection the party on whom it
was drawn was to sign a note and chat
tel mortgage. The bill of ladIng for
certain goods was sent to the bank with
a draft attached, to be delivered to
the party on payment of exchange
and collection charges" To an aver
age business man this would indicate
that the bank was to collect all Of its
charges from the party on whom the
draft was drawn. When the money was
sent back there was charge Of So for
services for making this collection. It
may be that the banking laws allow
such charge, but We doubt it. Even
should the law justify banks in making
such outrageous charges, the ordinary
business man viii not stand it. It looks
too much like asking for the earth"
and that it be 'fenced IN" The First
National bank at Herington may be
solvent, but business sagacity would
suggest to its officers that if they wish
to continue in business that they adopt
a more liberal plan of transactlng bust
