stiII the FavOrIte.

II you are contemplating a trip for
business or pleasure it will be well TO re-
member that the Burlington route Is still
the fsvorite. Her old established line to
Chicago hardly needs more than mere
mention for the mere reason that every
man, woman and child in the country is
so familiar with the fact that over this
line runs the famous solid vestlbule
ALI" with Its splendid Pullman sleepers,
chair cars and dining cars.
Your attention is now called TO our
double daily service between Kansas
City, AtchisOn, st. Joseph and st. Louis.
Heretofore we had but one daily train
from the Missouri river to st. Louis, that
being night train, placing passengers In
st. Louis in the morning in time for
breakfast and all eastern connections but
on the account Of the increasing demand
another train has been put on and now
leaves Kansas City, Atchison and st.
Joseph in the morning, placing the pas
senger In st. Louis in the early evening
OF the same day.
Omaha and Council Bluffs are put in
rapid communication with the lower
Missouri river points by two superb daily
trains, one leaving Kansas City late In the
morning and the other In the evening,
making the run from Kansas City in
about eight hours. The morning train
carries through buffet sleeping car to
St Paul and Minneapolis, placing the
passenger in the twin cities twenty hours
after leaving Kansas City.

WHY NOT PROTECT THE FARMERS ?

per rs you publish, 0y my poor elorts,
but since there seems to be no one pull
ing on my string permit me to say that ]
think the,farmer and laborer as worthy oi
protection as any other class of citizens,
It may be that some are ready to say
they are protected like others. / think
not. Manufacturers are protected by
trusts and combines from home competi-
ton and the government protects them
from foreign competition by tariff OF
nearly 40 per cent They have double
protection. The lawyers and doctors
are protected by legal prices for their
services which are always high enough.
Other professional men are protected by
their combinations and the fewness OF
their number. All classes Of laborers
are at the mercy of all Ill disposed hui
manity. All except the farmer and Ia
borer price their own productions. The
farmer and laborer are the only indls-
pensable parts Of humanity, yet they can
not set the price on horse, cow, bushel
of corn or a days work they may have to
spare. It does not matter whether OF
not the price offered is just remunera-
ton for the product sold; they must
take the price offered by those whose pc
cunisry interests are to get it as low as
possible and sell it as high as possible
Now the protection / ask for the farmers
is that when they have anything TO sell
they shall have such a price for it
as will reward the toll Of the producer;
that all nOn-perishable products shall not
go below remunerative price; that the
honest laborer shall be guaranteed such
a price for labor as will enable him to
live and raise his family.
think the justice of these PROPOSE
tions will be readily admitted, but how
to secure them is what troubles the peo-
pie. Now permit me to outline my plan
for the earnest thought of the brethren
First-Let there be a grand council OF
all the agricultural and labor interests
Let them take into consideration what il
is worth to produce bushel of corn,
wheat, oats and barley, also cotton, cattle,
hogs and such other products as can be
rendered non-perishable. They should
take into account all the accidents and
ravages that these crops are subject to
for period of, say ten years, and then
establish price that will enable the
farmer and laborer to make an honest
per cent. on his capital and labor. Let
this be called the legal price, 1. e., the
price at which the government will take
these products into Its warehouses.
Second-Let the government establish
warehouses in every county and slaugh-
ter houses in every state.
Third-Connect all these houses by
government railroads with all the sea-
ports. Build a government navy in
which to carry all her products to the
markets Of the world. Put government
agents in every county to buy up these
products at the lawful price and grade.
Let 1t be under q bureau elected by the
people. Whenever prices of products
run down to the lawful price let the gov
ernment agent begin to buy and pack
these products. Whenever the price
goes up so that 1t will pay the govern
ment to sell, let 1t sell. Instead of piling

mas Deen only InlrUeen years III growing
and getting the petroleum trade Of the
world completely In its control. Its
iron tentacles railroad iron and iron
pipes lines hold that industry taut while
it sucks blood at leisure. In the final
settlement which the American people
Is :gOing to have with corporate power
the greatest astOnishment will be pro.
duced by the disclosures Of the part the
railroads and courts have played In nur-
turing this octupus, which at present has
swallowed It's parents.
There was at first q double drawback
contract with all the railroads leading
out Of the oil regions, whereby the Stan
dard OH Company was first to enjoy an
exclusive low rate of freight ON all oil it
shipped, and was second to receive
divy from the excessive freight which
competing shippers must pay. The rail-
roads favored the Standard and picked
the pockets of It's business rivals, handing
the swag over to the Standard Sunday
school superintendent and others. Part
Of the time the Standard fixed not only
the rates of It's freight, but directed how
much per barrel the railroads should
steal from competitors shipments for It's
benefit. It was as II the railroad en-
ployes had secretly run given number
of barrels Of oil out of every tank car OF
independent shippers into the cars OF the
Standard. OF course such tactics or
steals, made the Standard the only ship
per OF crude petroleum. (Mr. Cassatt,
vice president Of the Pennsylvania rail
road, testified that he as pool agent of
the four great trunk lines of railway,
New York Central, Erie, Pennsylvania
Central and Baltimore & Ohio, has paid
as rebate to the Standard Oil Company
from those trunk lines for the carrying
of oil between November 1878 and March
1879 little over $10,OOO,OOO) Then they
went for the refners. A doubly heavy
drawback was put on refined oil ship
ments, In addition to the discrimination
on crude rates to independent refners,
and 1t was not long before the STANDARD
owned all the refneries or had crushed
the owners and reduced the works to
junk heaps
The property It thus destroyed or con-
fiScated amounted to millions, and there
was no remedy found in q land where
property rights are held so sacred II a Ia
boring man proposes fairer shake up. II
here and there an independent shipper
held out, the railroads refused point
blank TO haul oil for him at any price,
even II he furnished his own tank cars.
And the courts Of injustice In the cele-
brated case Of Ohlen, decided that the
railroads could not be prevented from
thus garroting trade. The octupuS had
now pretty good grasp on the refining
business. BY the grace of Satan In the
railroads, 1t had constituted itself the
only purchaser Of crude and the only
seller Of refined. But the producer was
rostive under that state Of things which
put him 30 much at the mercy OF this
devilfsh; other tentacles were then
thrown around the producers In the form
Of pipe lines thousands Of miles long,
with a sucker reaching to every we'll In

BURGLARS AT WORK.

Councilman H. B. Weiman, who
runs a wood and coal yard at 1910
East Third street and j. j. Sbrike,

morning when they arrived at their

Bit. The bit or drill bad been broken
of in Q hole bored to the right Of the

glars had already drilled two holes
before they broke the bit, one to the
left and one to the right Of the com6i'
nation. The completed hole to the
right, had been bored through. and .
paper funnel had evidently been used
to run powder into the safe. This had
been set on fire, and ifa double
quantity ofpowder had been run in
side the safe, it would undoubtedly
have come open. Some noise prob
ably caused the burglars to take flight
leaving behind a ten pound siedge
hammer, a pair of tongs, two steel
punches. and a quantity OF F. F. F.
powder in a paper sack rolled up in .
Globe Democrat of June 6. A priv.
ate mark on the paper sack can be seen
at the BAzoo Office. The burglars
effected an entrance by removing q
pane of glass from the back window
and then removing the nails that fas
tened the sash down. Two tracks
we're measured in the back yard and

glars, both we're small. Mr.. Vein :

showed q mighty good guess where
the bolts are to be found. Harry
James, the cafe repairer opened the
safe, a Hall Patent 30x24, and says
the combination is not injured, all
that the safe contained was a small
amount of jewelry and the books, and
nothing is missing from the office.

VALUE OF NEWSPAPER.
A daily newspaper.

what 10 lte value to Q subscriber
What is its value to an advertiser :?
These queries have been discussed
and argued, ridiculed and Substantive
ted, admitted and denied till the pub
lie has come to pay very little stten-
ton to them, but the following Incl
dent which occurred IN the Globe Of
fee the other day is from overy day
life and ought to prove to even the
most skeptical the commercial value
of q daily newspaper in the natural
intercourse between subscriber and
advertiser. When the subscriber
runs little behind and bis expenses
are trife high, the: first place he
will economic is on his daily paper,
even though the saving is but small.
When the advertiser is . little short
of cash be will say, "Well, l went I'D.
vertise this month and TINS
save some money" But after
becoming familiar with the incident
above referred to they will unani-
mously come to the conclusion that
both subscribing for and advertising
in a dsily paper is sure way of max.
ing money. Monday afternoon, be-
ing the first of the month, q gentle
man stepped up to the subscription
counter Of The Globe and passing over
q bill for six months in advance asked
that it be receipted. Another gentle
man standing near by asked him how
he could afford to do this and why he
did not take his paper BY the day or
week or at any such time when he
wished to read some particular news
in which he wss interested.
"Well, my friend, let me tell yon
that I calculate that my daily paper
costs me nothing"
"Why, how do you figure that? i
Just saw you pay cash for six months,
and in advance at that"
81 will explain that to you very
quickly and very easily. l will take
the paper and read it for the news.
Nv wife reads the advertisements,
| and she tells me that by 90 doing she
saves in ono year twice over what the
paper costs. For instance: She is
about to purchase some household
article or clothing that she has been
in the habit of paying 81 for, by
looking over the paper carefully she
discovers that some one ia selling the
same article for $3.50. She goes
there and gets it and saves fifty cents
| in buying some ordinary article for
the home. IL the course Of . year
this amounts to . large sum, es-
pecially to large family where con
siderable clothing is used, and will
more than pay your subscription.
Now, my friend, you see, l secure
the news of the day free Of charge,
my wife and family have their read
| ing for nothing, the newspaper Sc
cures q good subscriber, and the mer-
chant who advertises sells his goods.
thus making q continuous circle Of

ENGINEER WICKS BURIED.
Impressive Funeral Services at
Parsons Last Sunday.

The funeral services over the re.
mains of Engineer Alfred NJ. Wick,
who Lost his life 10 the wreck on the
Neosho division Of the NJ. K. u I.
railroad last week, took place Sunday
afternoon at the Methodist church
and was one of the largest funerals
ever held in the city. The Knights
Templar, Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers, the Masons and the Order
of Eastern Star formed in procession
at Masonic hall, and, headed BY the
Queen City band, marched in a body
to the late residence Of the dead en-
giueer on West Crawford avenue,
where many sorrowing friends had
gathered to look for the last time
upon the features and form Of the de-
ceased, aud to epeak words Of con.
doleuce to the bereaved wife and
children. The remains were then e.
corted to the church, followed BY
many citizens in carriages. On the
arrival of the funeral cortege at the
church it Was found that hundreds OF
the friends and acquain'ances had
gathered long before the hour for the
services to begin and it was with
some difficulty that the members Of
the several orders secured admission
into the church. The casket contain
ing the remains was placed directly
| in front of the altar, and around it
we're strewn many beautiful and
costly floral designs, while the inte'
rior Of the church presented picture
Of rare beauty. Exquisite floral dec
orations were to be seen on every
side, together with beautiful banners
emblematic Of the various orders Of
which the deceased was member,
which were tastefully arranged about
the altar of the church. The impress.
sive exercises were opened with q
beautiful song by the Methodist choir
under the leadership of w. I. Neigh
Rev. H. P. Hammons, the pastor,
took for bis text the appropriate
words, "Be Ye Also Ready for Ye
Know Not the Hour When the Son
Of Man Cometb," and delivered a most
appropriate and touching sermon, in
which he took occasion to pay a high
tribute to the memory Of one who
had lived . conscientious christian
lite, and had drawn around him
large circle of friends who now fee
the loss of his genial companionshir
and who will ever hold him in CRATE
full remembrance. At the close o
the services at the church the remain
were taken in charge by the Knight
Templar and conveyed to Oaxwooi
cemetery, followed BY the longest pro
cession ever seen in the city, it being
over q mile in length. Reaching tb,
cemetery all that was earthly of Al
fred NJ. Wick was laid to rest during
the beautiful and impressive service
Of the Knights TempIar. The un
fortunate and un,imely death Of En-
gineer Wick has cast . dark SHADOW
over the homes of many of our citizen
and it was a subject of much remark
that but few deaths have occurred
within the city which have cause;
