THE CoNDITIoN THAT CoNFRoNTs Us

The matter of freight rates is a subject
that should be seriously considered by
every citizen of Kansas, be he whole
saler, retailer, or consumer. The freight
charges paid by the dealer upon any
article must be added TO the first cost of
that article when he sells it to the con-
sumner, and thus the consumer pays the
freight in the end. 1t must, therefore,
be apparent to everyone, that any ad-
vance in the freight rates to any section
Is really tax levied upon the consumers
of that section. The consumers of Kan
sas have OF late had much 10 complain
Of At time when there are thousands
of cars of Kansas products to be hauled
BY the railroads, it would be but reason
able to expect a lowering of freight rates
in consequence of the vast amount of
business offered. But it seems that even
our prosperity is TO be levied upon by
the railroads. For several months past
there has been a systematic advance in
their charges. First came the big adj
vance in the freight on sugar. Then the
live stock rate was manipulated, and it
need nos surprise anyone If the rates on
wheat, corn. and other staples are
shortly raised. What are the people of
Kansas 10 do:

TO THE FARMERS, INTEREST.

A farmer can well afford to agree to
store all of his wheat in an elevator in
Wichita, if the agreement to do so will
be the means Of securing the elevator. as
is now the case. The secretary of the
Board of Trade Is now sending out such
agreements, and if signed promptly, and
a sufficient amount of grain is secured to
be handled by the elevator at regular
prices, the elevator Will be built 1t Is
an undoubted fact that to run the wheat
as it comes from the threshers through
an elevator, and have it thoroughly
cleaned, it will take a grade higher. that
will secure such an advance in price as
will pay the elevator charges and will
leave handsome profit above those
charges, and the loss in weight or bulk.

substances always to be found in wheat

Wheat Prices Advancing.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The gravity of the crop situation
abroad was emphasized anew yesterday
by the announcement that the Russian
government had prohibited exports of
rye after August 81. This report. in
connection with lighter offerings from
the west and unofficial statements of
damage to spring wheat in the north
west, caused an advance of cents per
bushel i'll the wheat markets yesterday.
Most of the reports of crop damage IN
this country come from the speculative
centers, where the "bulls" are industri-
ously engaged in whooplng up prices.
The news from the wheat fields is gen
orally favorable. Wheat prices, how
ever, are steadily rising, as natural
result of the big business that has al
ready been done for export, and in
consequence of the expectation of a still
larger trade to come during the balance
of the crop year.

The death of Mrs. Polk, widow of the
eX-president, removes the last of the
antebellum occupants of the White
House. Although not a woman Of
overshadowing intellectual ability or
even brilliancy, Mrs. Polk was rated as
one of the most popular mistresses that
has presided at the national executive
mansion. This was probably accounted
for by the lady's superior qualities rs
an entertainer. 1t is said by those who

SIMPLY OUTRAGEOUS.

To the Editor OF the EAGLE.
tits peculiar and significant fact that
the first intimation the Kansas whole
sale grocers received of the luminous adj
vance in their freight rate on sugar from
New Orleans came from their competi-
tors in Kansas City.
The statesmen representing the Kansas
City grocery houses remarked as early as
May to the Wichita travelling men, "Just
wait until the first of July, and then you
fellows won't be in it." After hearing
many such boastful remarks on the part
OF their competitors, the Wichita jobbers
determined to investigate. Calling upon
the railroad people at Topeka, they
learned for the first time that their pres
ent extortionate sugar rate was to be
effective on July first.
From the foregoing the most natural
assumption is that the Kansas railroads
have been influenced by (if they have not
cOnSpired with the wholesale grocers
doing business in Kansas City for the
purpose of injuring the business of the
jobbers of Kansas.
To one familiar with the repeated AFRO
giant demands made by the Kansas CITY
jobbers upon the various eastern manu-
facturers for purposes similar to that
outlined above, 1T seems plausible enough,
but for citizen of Kansas, who, if he
be true Kansan, takes pride in Kansas
institutions and enterprises, to believe
that the railroads of his state, who owe
their very existence TO the Kansas peo-
pie, would be a party to such high
handed conspiracy, seems too monstrous
to be true. And yet,as explained above.
the facts are peculiarly significant, and
are hard TO be explained upon any other
assumption. If it can be proven TO be
true, let the people OF Kansas rise in
their wrath. and deal out the punish
ment such treason deserves.

APPLE TREE CATERPILLAR.
Best to Destroy the Eggs or the Lsrve
Soon After Hatchfng.


Soon After Hatching.
From State Horticultural Bulletin.
There are several varieties of these insects 20
like In appearance and unlike in habits that
much confusion Is occasioned In trying to dis
tinguish between them. These caterpillars are
seldom abundant for many years in succession,
for in times of great plenty their natural ene
mics multiply with great rspidity. Several
parasites destroy them, and some Of the insect
feeding birds devour them greedily.
REMEDIES.
Spray with solution No. This solution has
proved very etectual in destroying the cater
pillar.
The following additions are recommended,
they having proved efectual in other states.
The egg clusters should be sought for and de-
stroyed during the winter months. When the
caterpillars have become half grown. the trees
should b frequently inspected early In the
morning, and the copyrighted masses destroyed
by trickling = little kerosene oil over them.
Trees can Be thoroughly cleaned of them by the
use Of London purple spray, ~ used for the de-
struction OF the Goblin moth, or three spoonfuls
Of Onegafth's Insectcide dissolved In pailful of
water, and the trees sprayed with this solution.
During the day they are % constantly on the
move that tree thoroughly cieansed from them
In the morning may b crowded again before
night; 90, TO avoid this, fasten strips Of cotton
batting, four inches wide, about the trunk of the
tree by means Of string tied tight In the mid
die.
We desire to emphasize the fact that one hour
spent in the orchard destroying the eggs of the
Young caterplllars when first Matched will ac-
enough to scatter from the homo nest. The sue
cessful orchardist IL he who watches every tree
for the appearance of every insect that will be
injurious to IL.
