KANSAS RAILROADS.

Both Cowley and Sumner coun ties
will receive over $4,000 in railroad tax
es this year.
The usual holiday rates will be given
by all roads. The rate will be fare
and third. The same rate will apply
TO the State Teachers association which
meets in Topeka during the holidays.
The Missouri Pacifcis said TO be MAX
ing arrangements to comply with the
order of the railroad commissioners re-
garding the Fort Scott and Topeka
train. 1t is proposed that the train
shall leave Fort Scott in the morning
after the train from st. Louis is in, and
return in the evening. ~
The ticket agent at the Kansas City
Union Depot made report on tho sales
Of tickets to Chicago during the period
Of the Worlds fair. In May only 1000
tickets were sold, but the number in
creased each month, and in October the
total number sold was 1887 The
agent refuses to make public state
ment Of the relative amount of business
done by each railroad, but il is said that
the Santa Fe and the Rock Island are
closely tied for first place, with the Alton
third. The Santa Fe carried the largest
number Of passengers through Kansas
City, but Of the passenger business orig
mating in that City the Alton seemed
to have the biggest share.
Wichita Eagle: The Santa Fe railroad
company has adopted a suggestion from
one Of its employees that is not only a
good thing for the road but a mighty
good thing for the Wholesale merchants
of this city, The suggestion was to put
on two freight cars to be pulled by the
passenger train every morning over the
line between this city and Caldwell.
One of the cars is made up for Yelling
ton alone and the other is made up for
Perth, Corbin and Caldwell. This enables
wellington merchant TO telephone to
Wichita wholesale house as late as six
o'clock today for goods and have them
delivered by freight on the next morn
ing at eight o'clock by the very train
which carries the express. 1t will be
the same with the merchants Of Cald-
well, Corbin and Perth. This method is
in use only few days, but it is such a
good thing that the merchants Of the
towns mentioned have taken hold Of it
and it is no trouble at all to get the two
cars filed every day. The plan amounts
to this Merchants can get goods de-
liyered to them with express prompt
ness at freight rates.

STOCK AND FARM.

La Crosse Chieftain: Our farmers
are feeling very jubilant over the pres
emit outlook for wheat. This may seem a
little early to some to begin to count
on next years wheat crop, but in this
country we generally have moisture
enough in the spring to make good
wheat if it has good start when spring
comes, but the great trouble is to get
moisture enough in the fall and winter
to enable it to get the start. The recent
rains and SHOWS have put the ground in
excellent condition, SO that it is not liza
BILE to dry out this winter. Rush county
certainly never had it's wheat go into the
winter in better shape than this fall.
IPhe acreage in this county is nearly, il
not quite, as great as last year.
From Emporia: The famous Texas
cattle fever cases, in which cattlemen
throughout the union are deeply inter
ested, will be tried in the December term
Of the Lyon county district court in
this city. The case was to have come
up in the Chase county district court,
but the attorneys for the defense moved
for continuance until the next term on
the ground that some of their witnesses
could not be reached in time for trial at
once. The plaintiffs would not consent
to have the case go over until the next
term, but offered to compromise on a
trial before Judge Randolph in Decem-
Der. This proposition was accepted and
the battle ground was transferred to this
city. There is no probability of settle
ment Of any part of the case outside Of
court. Heller Brothers have not paid
anything in the way Of damages as
stated in dispatches sent out from here
last week and it is not probable that
they will until ordered to do 80 by the
court. Prominent cattlemen in Kansas
City, Chicago and elsewhere are parties
to these suits.
Ulysses Republican: lAe farmers are
greatly encouraged by the recent rain
and are sowing hundreds OF acres Of
wheat, in addition to what they had al
ready sown.
Cattle receipts the Kansas City,
KS, markets last week were 45,143, a
gain OF nearly 10000 over the same
week last year. The sheep receipts were
10,849, gain Of 5000 over the corre,
spending week last year. On Rccount Of
a shortage of the product hogs show
falling of.

THREE New York policemen found
the night air little chilly while pa
trolling their beats in Central Park,
and took refuge in little cottage
which nestled in bowery nook near
by, They found eternal rest, for a
leaky gas pipe was one of the feat
ures of this same picturesque cottage,
and the escaping fluid soon conquered
each of the blue-coated guardians of
the peace who had deserted his post
They were dead when found. This
retribution' should serve a double
purpose. 1t should be warning to
all sleepy coppers to beware Of Sc
Guided vine-coyered cottages when
they steal away from their beats to
rest, and it might also suggest to
chiefs Of police that very good way
to detect those officers who neglect
their duty would be to provide some
place with all the comforts Of q home
or saloon-with a leaky gas pipe,
where the shirkers might retreat. OF
course, the plan would remove the
derelict bluecoats from active partici-
patton in further events in this world,
but as they would have already
proved their unfaithfulness to trust,
it Is question whether the loss
would be truly lamentable.

A CAR bearing the menagerie of
Sells circus tipped over in Missouri a
few days ago, and three cages, con-
tanning lions, tigers and panthers,
broke loose and took to the woods.
There was great CONSERVATION in the
neighborhood when the facts were
known. Women and children kept
pretty close indoors, while men
walked around carrying the heaviest
loaded guns they could procure. One
cow was killed and partly devoured
by the tigers. The circus men finally
got the wild animals inside their
cages. They were too frightened 10
attack men, and the cages were baited
with the fresh meat to which they
were accustomed. The men drove
the animals toward the cages, and
when they entered the doors were
closed. One black panther attacked
a bull dog, and after short tussle
the panther got the worst Of 1t. The
bull dog got him by the throat, and
was proceeding to choke the wind
out Of him when the circus men ar
rived and separated them. They
offered the owner of the dog $25 for
him, but the owner refused to sell at
any price. A dog that can lick q
black panther was just what he
wanted to match against all other
dogs

A Misguided Inventor.

A New Jersey man has invented q
bicycle with an intricate system of
cog wheels that increases its speed
"just double what it is the present
day." In other words, he has geared
it up to 1875 inches, more or less,
which can easily be done with a
safety bicycle of the usual type by
simply doubling the number of teeth
in the forward sprocket wheel. If
the New Jersey inventor will supply
a rider for his machine with twice
the strength and endurance of the
best rider now living, he may be able
to realize his dream Of "a mile a
minute" but not otherwise.

IT is waste of time to theorize
upon the causes Of the terrible
railroad wrecks that have followed
one another during the last month
each being more fatal and horrible
than its predecessor. One fact is
evldent-that the railroad system is
essentially defective at some point,
and that where direct responsibility
is incurred the responsible person
escapes punishment. Not one rail-
road official, from President down to
brakeman, has. been held to legal
account for the loss Of life in the re-
cent accidents" The "investiga-
tions" have amounted to nothing. So
far as known, no special precautions
have been taken to avert further
disasters The smash-ups continue,
with increasing loss of life. This will
have to stop some time. Self-preser-
walton is the first law Of nature, and
the travelling public will not submit
to be decimated. The railroads will
have to do something to restore con-
tidence. People will not travel when
a journey involves as much peril as a
pitched battle. The limit of endur-
ance has been reached. The public
will stay at home or travel on foot
rather than incur the ever-present
danger of death and incineration.
