WANT A FREE PASS.
shippers at the Yards Want to Know About
the Proposed Law.

The stock men at the union stock
yards yesterday were anxious to know
whether the anti-pass bill now before
the legislature would prevent their
getting return pass when they come
| into the yards with stock.
The bill requires every railroad cor
poration to charge cents per mile for
the transportation between any two
points in this state of any person over
! IL years of age; one cent per mile Tor
persons between the ages OF and
IL while children under ) must be
carried free if accompanied by parent
or guardian
The only exceptions are those persons
who are at the time, employees, agents,
or officers OF the road engaged in the
actual performance OF their duties, or
the members of the state board Of rail-
road commissioners when in the eXer-
else Of their official work
In the second section the bill prohib-
its any officer. agent or employe from
giving or furnishing 10 any person
or accepting in payment for any trans
poration, any pass or free tranSporta-
ton or any transportation at less
price than that provided by law. or any
rebate below this. The penalty pro-
vided is fine not to exceed 5000 and
not less than five times the amount
OF the aggregates OF the reductions. or
Imprisonment. in the county Jail for
not more than one year or both.
II is claimed that pass from Kansas
City. Mo, to any point in Kansas would
come under interstate commerce ana
would not he effeced by the Kansas law
and that under that arrangement ship
pers could get return passes from Kan
sas City and that il would be just
that much discrimination against the
Wichita yards.
Some NJ the shippers claimed ths,
the bill If it became a law would oper-
ate against the Wichita yards fer the
reason that shippers could not set re-
turn passes from, Wichita 20 any point
in the state while shippers going 10
Kansas City could go across the line
10 Kansas City, No, and set return
passes.

]. B. Chandler Of Fullerton, Neb., has
arrived in Wichita with his stable of
race horses and is temporarily quar-
tered in the hack barn on South En-
poria avenue.
There are thirteen head OF horses in
this first consignment, several of which
are money winners with low records.
more horses belonging TO this stable will
soon follow and Mr.. Chandler expects
to have all his race horses here by
spring.
w. r. Hewey, secretary of the State
Fair association, has letters from a
number of owners of famous racers,
trotters and PAGERS who write that they
are coming to Wichita to train their
horses and it is now almost certain
that Wichita will in a very short time
have many Of the fastest horses in the
west.
The fair grounds will be full of fine
horses the coming summer and W. r.
Dulalney and other lovers of fine horses
have been trying to lease Griswold
park with e view of making half mile
track and using it for training
ground. If the park can be leased ad-
jacent ground will be secured on which
will be erected large number or
stables for the accommodation or the
horses that will be trained on the mar
mile track.
Many horsemen prefer to train young
horses on a half mile track as 1t IS
claimed that horse which Is trained
on mile track cannot make good
time on a half mile track, while one
trained on a half mile track is all right
On the mile track.
With the horses already here and
others soon to follow the horsemen see
that another track will be a necessity.
If Griswold park cannot be secured
other grounds will probably be select
ed and q new track will be made in the
spring.
The fame of southern Kansas horses
is attracting horsemen to this section
as it has been demonstrated that horses
mature quickly her and the short
winters give a long seasonfortrain-
ing and some of our horsemen believe
that the fame of southern Kansas for
fast horses will eclipse the Famous
blue grass region of Kentucky.
Messrs Kittsmiller, Jewett, Toler ana
Mr. Campbell Of kiOwa, whose 2-year-
old Symbolier made such remarkable
time last year. have takep care OF the
fame of southern Kansas on the race
course but there will now be other
breedrs of famous horses here to divide
bonors with them. Kansas always
keeps up near the band wagon In any
procession and when she goes TO rais-
ing race horses of course 1t will be eX-
pected that she will smash the records

The Columbian Half Dollars.

The Columbus souvenir half dollars
are not medals or tokens, Y but good
money, and are legal tender to the
mount of $40 in any one payment.
There is a large demand for them. The
coinage was as follows: In 1892, 95O,
600 pieces, value S475, 900; in 1898,
1852, 100 pieces. value 50. O28, 052. 90;
total, 5000. 1O5 pieces, value 90. SOL,
052. 90. The coins now being issued by
the treasury are of the 1898 coinage.
The Columbian Tor Isabella) quarter
dollars coined under the law of March
8. 1892, are likewise a legal tender and
redeemable. There were coined only

were all issued / the board of lady

eueeted his aid in signing the notes for
the bank in order that they might be
~rediscounted, for the time being, and
thus assist materially in carrying the
bank safely over the financial shoals
with which it was evidently surrounded
at the time. Kellam further says it was
understood that the notes would be
taken up by the bank before maturity,
cancelled and then returned 20 him.
For some reason this was not done. and

dds adopted to bolster up an insolvent
