Receivers have been appointed for
the Kansas Central railroad, which ex-
tends from Leavenworth to Miltonvale.
The order appointing receivers and the
suit to foreclose the first mortgage on
the road have been filed in the United
States circuit court in Topeka. The Kan
sas Central is not now paying operating
expenses, and though there was Kan
sas Central company the road has been
operated by the Union Pacific company.
The effort is now being made to lop
off the line from the main branch. and
the petition asks for speedy sale"
which is unusual in railroad foreclosures.
1t was agreed that the deficit in the op-
Grating expenses already incurred and
any which shall arise in the future,
shall be prior lien on the road to that

train was run by Nathan Hollister. who
lives in Topeka. One of the side rods

bankment, the train rushing by him.
The fireman succeeded in stopping the
engine and went back after the engineer

TIE Central Trust company has fled
an application in the federal court at
Omaha asking for the appointment of
separate receiver for the st. Joseph
& Grand Island railroad. In July,
1885, the Grand Island road issued
bonds to the amount of S7,O0,000, Sc
cured by conveyance TO the Central
Trust company of all it's property and
franchises. One of the stpulatioDs of
the mortgage was that in case default
was made in the payment iof any inter-
est on any Of the bonds isshed, it would
be lawful for the trust company to fore
close the equity of redemption and tc
sell or dispose of the property. The
Central Trust Co. saws the Grand
Island road made default in the pay
ment on May 1, 1894. This was fol-
lowed by another default Of payment in
November. 1894 The Grand Island
road has been for some years in the
possession of the Pacific railway system
and has been operated as part of the

shrewd Meat Dealers.

KANSAS CITY, KAN, January 8.-The meat
dealers of England are very shrewd, accord
ing to the statement of one of the packers
here, and are not low in taking advantage
of the situation. In 1882, when the French
people prohibited American pork from en-
tering that country, the American exporters
sent 1t to England. There it was unpacked
and new canvas and brands put on it and
it was then sent to France an English
product. The same tactics are to be en-
pioyed in the present dilemma, and the
English people will receive the American
beef and pork, and, after making changes
in brands, will send it to Ham burg and
other ports, and it will be sold just the same
as though there had been no closed ports,
only that it will be higher in price.

In recent article on Coffee and Co
Goa, the eminent German chemist, Pro-
fessor Stutzer, speaking of the Dutch
process of preparing Cocoa by the ad-
dition of potash, and of the process com
mon in Germany in which ammonia is
added, says: THE only result of these
processes is to make the liquid appear
turbid to the eye of the consumer, with
out effecting a real solution of the Co
Goa substances. This artificial man pu-
lation for the purpose of so called solu-
bility is, therefore, more or less inspired
by deception. and always takes place at
the cost OF purity, pheasant taste, usefuL
action. and aromatic flavor. The treat
medt of Cocoa by such chemic i means
is entirely Objectionable. Cocoa treated
with potash or ammonia would be entirely
unstable but for the supplementary adj
dition of artificial havors by which a

Wants Ample Rooms.

TOPEKA, KAN, January 8.-The report of
Secretary F. 6. Adams, of the State Histori-
cal society, states that the subject of rooms
for the accom- m od alton of the library and
collections is still one of the mo st important
that can engage the socIety's attention. 1t
began, neary nineteen years ago, without
need of room, except desk room for the sec
retary and room for a bookcase. These
simple needs were found in the state offices,
generously and encouragingly given. From
time to time since, as needs have demand ed
and as far as the unfinished condition of the
state house would admit, rooms have been
provided, so that now the society occu-
pies more room than any other department
in the state house. 1t would occupy twice
as much as now if its library and collec-
tions were suitably placed. The rooms now
occupied in different paris of the basement
portion of the capitol building, widely sep
arated, and situated in every way inconven-
lent for use and access to the public. In
view of the contemplated provision for the
completion of the capitol building, it is
urgently demanded that plans should now be
adopted for permanent and ample rooms for
the present and future needs of the society.

TOPEKA, January Sit is given out at
the state house that the proposed assem- bling
of the Kansas National guard in Topeka at
the time of the Inauguration Of Governor
Morrill,, cannot occur.
The rate of cent per mile was secured
for the Guard on the Kansas railroads. but
the state officers say there is M money to
pay it.
The matter was before the governor and
he expressed himself as bsing opposed to the
idea of spending the money of the state in
transporting the Guard to Topeka. The
state officers express regret at the condition
of the treasury of the military department,
but refuse to provide any other means to carry
out the proposed plans. Colonel Davis was
particularly anxious that the Guard should
come to Topeka, thereby atfording the men,
bers of the legislature an opportunity to see
whether or not the appropriations asked for
are needed to maintain the organization.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 8.-Secretary

eral plan for publishing the valuable histor-
cal manus cripts of revolutionary days now
in the archives of the state department. The
recommendation was called out by provi-
sion of the last sundry civil appropriation
bill calling for report from the secretary

-alue of the manuscripts. EN- bodying the col
lectlons of Washington, Frin kiln, Jefferson,
Madiso and Hamilton, as well the jour
mails of the Continental congress. 1t Is
pointed out that the papers are liable to seri-
Gus injury and DETACHMENT, owing to the
constant perusal of them by students and
writers. The secretary recommends their

be done gradually on an appropriation of
$4,000 annually and under the supervision
of competent editor and staff.

the fault of the latter. The Alerta
rounded the center buoy first, and led
at the finish, not only the cats. but

BY classes the finishing boats were
IN order: Corona, Wollypog, Pastime

Several Fouls Rather Mixed Mat
tiers, but the Breeze Was
Excellent.

The ninth regular race of the
White Bear Yacht club, sailed yes
terday afternoon, was productive of
much pleasurable excitement and en-
PERTAINING argument. The nine-mile
west wind at the start increased to
a twelve-mile breeze at the finish.
All were delighted with the fresh
blow and the numerous fouls. AS to
the winners, it was the 'old, old
the Hornet of the second-class sloops
and the Alerta of the cats.
The prize for all classes was the
White Bear trophy, which now goes
to the Corona for the present sea-
son, it having been twice won by
DR.. Welch's racer. In the first race
for the trophy, June 1. the result was
tie between the Corona and the
Wollypog. Excluding this tie and
the victory of the Pastime July 30,
the Corona has now won every race,
Or seven out of nine. In the second
class the Hornet secured four and
the Falcon three out of eight, none
of the smaller Sloops having taken
part Aug. 3. Of the cats the Alerta
has gained six races out of nine.
Yesterdays success transfers to the
owners of the Corona the White
Bear trophy, the Gotzian cup, the
commodore's cup and the champion
ship flag for her class. There is
NOTHING MORE VISIBLE
in the way of prizes for a big sloop,
and Messrs. WEIGH and Merrill are
mingling their tears with those of
the late Alexander. Capt. George
Medd'S Hornet has also taken the
Dellwood cup, the only prize for the
second-raters. There are two guer-
dons for the cats, the Island and the
]. w. Taylor cups. For these the de-
cisive races are yet to be sailed.
The first boat got away yesterday at
2:55:26, the line being crossed in the
following order: Banshee, A. K. Bar
mum; Wollypog, Charles Stickney;
Corona, J. NJ. WEIGH; Columbia C. NJ.

Half way to the center buoy the
Corona passed the Wollypog. Beyond
this buoy positions were reversed, and
at the Lake Shore buoy the Stickney
sloop was six lengths in the lead In
turning at Lake Shore, however, the
Katie D and the Pastime collided,
throwing a number of boats into con-
fusion. A hole was driven in the
bow of the Pastime, and she took in a
portion of the lake. The mix-up in
