The failure is claimed by Vesper to be
the result of the action of the owner Of
the building, B. d. Davies, formerly of this
city but now of Chicago. in renting the
building to another party. Vesper states
that last fall he entered into an agree
ment with Davies to the effect that the
latter should build an addition to the
building, which be would fit with ma

have the use of the building as long as
he wished. Both parties carried out
their parts of the contract, Davies build

with $1,000 worth of machinery. AL
though he paid rent in advance, Vesper
says that Davies rented the building. TO

TO TALK STOCK RATES.

Meeting of Shippers and Railroad
Men at COmmissIOners' ONCE To-
morrow.
At ten o'clock tomorrow will be the
meeting of the Representatives of the

mission at the state house. The Nebras-

The question before the meeting will
be that of rates of transportation on
Kansas live stock
Until the first of January, 1896, the
railroads had charged the stock shippers
of Kansas and Nebraska at the rate of
dollars per carload East of the Mis-
souri, river the rate was cents per one
hundred pounds. The per car load rate
allowed stockmen to crowd the cars full,
if they thought it paid to do SO. Wise
shippers refrain from doing this how
ever. In order to stop that prac-
tice, it is alleged, and to make
things equal between the west and
east of the Missouri river the railroads
made the change in Kansas and Nebras-
ka on the first day of the year to 10 cents
per 100 pounds.
The shippers contend that this raises
the rate. The railroads contend that it
does not
The railroad commission will hear
both sides tomorrow and decide whether
or not it does. If it does the railroads
will be required to lower the rate per 100.
The board is not particular about the
method provided the rate is no higher.

The Lsavenworth home is highly
praised. General Averel says, in part:
But little more in the way of con-
struction remains to be done to complete
this home in all respects. Its general
appearance from the railway station at
the foot of the slope on its western front
is ia every way worthy of a national in
stitution and of the benehcent purpose it
represents
"The most notable object in view to the
sight, on the southern flank, is the grey
stone chapel, WIN bold and picturesque
sky lines, percl4ed on the brink of the
slope. which affords opportunity for its
two auditoriunAs, Protestant and Roman
Catholic, one above the other.
"Little or nothing of the cost of the
chapel. band stands, lakes and fountains
has been furnished by the United States
government.
