TESTING THE RAILROAD LAW.
Mandamus Proceedings Ordered in Behal
of the Kansas Commissioners.

Mandamus Proceedings Ordered in Behal
of the Kansas Commissioners
The much mooted question as t.
whether there is any way in which the
Kansas railroad commissioners can en-
force its decisions bids fair to be speedily
settled.
The railroad companies have in the
main complied with its suggestions, but
the refusal of the Missouri Pacific to re-
store passenger service on the LIE Roy
and Caney Valley air line gave Governor
Humphrey an opportunity to act, and he
addressed q letter to Attorney General
Kellogg lnstructing him to investigate
the case thoroughly aud see If there was
any remedy under the laws and eonstitu-
ton of the state.
The Encouragement in his reply
stated that in his opinion the board had
been just and reasonable and that the re-
fusal of the railroad company to furnish
this passenger train service was not only
in violation of the order of railroad COM
missiOners, but also III violation of sec
tion 1912 of the general statutes of 1889,
which reads: EVERY railway corpora
ton in this state which now is or may
hereafter be engaged in the trausporta-
ton OF passengers or property shall fur
nish sufficient accomm odation for the
transportation of all such passengers
baggage, malls, express and freight as
shall, within a reasonable time previous
thereto be offered for transportation at
the place of starting, at the junction of
other roads and at the several stopping
places, and they shall be compelled to
receive all passengers and freight from
such connecting and intersecting roads
whenever the same shall be delivered to
them
The encouragement further stated
that in his opinion mandsmus could be
instituted in the name of the state before
the supreme court to enforce the decision.
In reply to this letter Governor
Humphrey said: s'Mandamus being
the remedy suggested by you, hereby
request that proceedings be instituted at
once in the supreme court by you, and
that you will, on the line indicated in
your letter, prosecute the action to a
termination as speedily as possible. The
Importance of the question in this case is
obvious and far reaching. While it con-
Germs primarily the people living along
the line of the Leroy aud Caney Valley
railway, the state is deeply interested in
the determination of the question wheth-
er or not there is power under the law to
compel obedience to the orders of the
board of railroad commissioners in such
cases. If railway companies may or may
not observe the orders and recommended
tions of said railroad commissioners as it
shall happen to suit their convenience it
is high time the people of the state
should ascertain the fact. If there is no
remedy in such cases under the law as IL
now stands it is of the highest Importance
to know it, to the end that the legisla-
ture may at its next session provide

The surprise that followed in Union

asked to resign was not greater than
that caused by rumor that Manager

short time ago, as the story goes.
q prominent gentleman residing near
Omaha sent MIR. Kimball request for
pass. The letter received no atten-
ton, not even an answer, although
such a request had previously been
answered with both pTomptness and
pleasure The gentleman who made
the request was in the city recently and
asked Mr.. Kimball if he had received
request from him for a pass. MIR.
Kimball answered that he had, but
that all power to do anything more of
the kind for his friends had been taken
out of his hands, much as he regretted
the modification which the announce
ment occasioned him.
The gentleman then asked Mr.. Kim
call why he did not at least answer his
letter. To this MIR. Kimball acknowl-
edged or revealed another fact that went
very mech against his grain. 1t was
that he had found himself under aston
ishingly close surveillance, and was
actually afraid even to answer the let

TEXAS FACTORIES AND MILLS.

GALVESTON, TEX, June ls.-Anent the estab-
lishment of sugar refinery here and expert
ments looking to that end, mention of which
was made in these dispatches q few nights ago.
William II. Kirchoh, who, with his brother has
been experimenting with rain and artesian well
water has this to say: 81 have not completed
my analysis. but have found that rain and ar
tesian water produce precisely the same amount
Of sugar. have also found that we made as
much sugar on small scale we possibly
could on large scale, because we produced as
much sugar as 1t is possible TO make. Rain
water is considered the very best water for max
ing sugar, but we found that artesian water
actually produced more refined sugar in the test
than rain water, but this, in my Judgment, was
due to the richness Of the raw product that
used in the artesian being richer than that used
IN the rain water. The water aud test is per-
fectly satisfactory, and SO confident are we that
it can be made successfully that my brother and
myself are willing to head the list with sub
scription OF 5000 each. making $40, 000 between
US. If we did not have every confden ce in the
water we would not be found willing to risk
any money. Preparations are in progress TO
organize company and establish small re-
1uery at first with an output of $50 barrels daily
and increase lis capac ity as the business NAV
require. Such is the faith in the enterprise
that the stock of the company will be readily
taken a soon as an organization is effected and
the refinery will be quickly established as il is
recognized that Galveston must do something
TO hold her sugar trade which is rapidly BENZ

a Real True Boston story.

A young lady of one ofour suburbs
who married recently and went to n
Connecticut city to live reports re-
mark on the part of servant girl
which is quite epic in that line. The
lady, having a large house and being
DESTROYS of running it in good form,
called up her cook each day to the
dining-room( which was on the main
floor, the kitchen being in the base
ment,1 and there 9ave her her order
for the meals and other matters con-
nected with the downstairs work.
For day or two the cook took tie
orders with a rather bad grace, but
committed no overt act ofinsurrec-
ton. But presently, one dav after her
mistress hadfinished her orders the
cook spoke up.
"And now, mum, shesaid, "lwant
We to listen to what have TO say, an
It's this: that if we're go'an to shtay
