GEESE TRADEIN DANGER.
Canada is Cutting US Out and Legis-

Canada Is CUfGAnE us Out anu LesSlS-
1atiOn is Needed
MADISON, Wis, Feb AT the session
of the state agricultural society, w. A
Henry, dean of the college of agriculture
at the state university gave an address
on "The Necessity of Immediate Legis-
Iation for the Protection of our Cheese
Industry"
He cited the fact that in 1880, the
United States exported cheese to the
value of $12 10000, aad in 1894 to
the value of $7.18aOOO, de-
crease of forty per cent, while
Canada exported in 1880 cheese to the
value of $3,90O.OO0, and in '94 to the
value of $15.000,O00, an increase of near
ly 400 per cent.
The only remedy Mr.. Henry said was
congressional legislation similar to that
which had been enacted in many states,
and he urged his hearers to do all in
their power to secure the passage by con-
gress of the bill compelling all filed
cheese manufacturers to take out govern
ment licenses, and also provide for state

LOSES HIS FAITH.
7PastOr Barker Recants His Bible Belief
and Takes a Hand at Casino.

7PastOr Barker Recants His Bible Belief
and Takes a Hand Casino.
TURNER, Feb. THE Rev. Malso
Barker has denounced the bible and an
nounced his intention of abandoning the
pulpit.
He did not publicly declare himself,
but he has gone to a number of his
friends separately. some of whom are
outside the church. and told them that at
least some parts of the bible had not
been written from inspiration and that
efIe would proclaim his belief to the
world He said he had given the sub
ject much study and had been unable to
find a solution as to why certain pas
sages should be so and that he had come
to believe fully that religious worship
from the bible standpoint was not what
it was said to be.
Recently Rev. Mr.. Barker went to the
home of one of his friends in Turner and
found a game of casino in progress. He
startled the players around the table by
asking for hand and when some one
expressed surprise he said, "Oh, l am one
of your equals now and l can play all
right" He took hand and proved him :
self an apt pupil. 1t was the first game
he had ever played, he said, but after
the frat hand he was next to best in the
game.
MIR. Barker is a graduate of William
Jewell college and heretofore has been
an earnest church worker.

on the Wrong Lot in His Complaint.
SALINA, Feb. THE case of the state
vs. John Grant, charged with running a
"blind tiger" was dismissed by Justice

dispensing ardent spirits in the upper
rooms of the two story building on the

SANTA FEIS CITED

Among other Roads TO Appear Before
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
CHICAGO, Feb 7.-Citations from the
Interstate commerce commission to ap-
pear at a special sitting of that body in
Chicago on Feb. 20, have been received
by nearly every western and south
the city to summonses setting forth that
the matter under consideration will
be an alleged violation of
section of the act to regulate commerce
between the states by the Atchison. To-
peka & Santa Fe and its receivers and
other roads.
This case is founded on the complaint
of Charles G. Freeman, a dealer in pro-
duce at Cadillac, Mich, In his charges
he alleges that he is unable to compete
with merchants in the same line
of business at Grand Rapids
and south Michigan points, because of
the discrimination of certain roads which
refuse him proportionately as good rates
to Texas as are given the others.
His complaint names as respondents
the Santa Fe, the Rock Island, the Kan
sas City, Fort Scott s. Memphis. the Mis-
souri, Pacific, the Missouri, Kansas 81
Texas, the St. Louis 6 San Fran
cisco, the St. Louis, Iron
Mountain. and Southern, the St. Louis
Southwestern, the Southern Pacific and
the Texas & Pacific R. r companies.
All these have been cited to appear be-
fore the committee, as has also the In
diana, Illinois aud Iowa.
In their answer to the complaint re-
spondent roads set forth that the state of
Michigan is divided by them for freight
purposes by the Detroit, Grand Rapids
and Michigan roads.
North of this lies what is known as
Detroit Cleveland territory. From the
border of this, they admit they make a
through rate to Texas, but declare cities
in that territory get only the sum of
local tariffs to the through rate basing
points.
They claim the Detroit Cleveland
territory is under the supervision of the
Central Traffic association with which
they have no traffic arrangements, and
with the tariffs of which they have
nothing TO do. They also claim the rates
from Cadillac are Influenced by the
fact of the application of both the Off
cial and the western classifications, for
which they are not responsible.

Spanish Feeling Greatly Worked Up

New YORK, Feb. IA dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says:
The Figaro and other papers give
considerable prominence to the mani
festations at Valladolid and Ma
drid against Marshal Campos,
who, only few short
months ago, was the most popular soldier
in Spain. The opinion here is that the
Kissing and hooting clearly indicates
that the public feeling in Spain is work
ed up to "a state of great excite ment over
Cuba which the Spanish mean to retain
if possible at any sacrifice many of them
considering that its loss might involve
national bankruptcy.

Doubtless.
THE QUEENS APPEAL
10 the Better Nature" Of the
Sultan of Turkey
Meets With characteristic Re-
Spouse.
THE, QUEENS APPEAL

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Feb. 1.-THE sultan
has replied to the autograph letter of
Queen Victoria and which it has been
understood was a personal appeal to the
better nature of the sultan against tn ,
condition of Asia Minor, sympathizing
with her in the humane sentiments ex-
pressed and declaring that the reports of
the massacres were spread by evil dis
posed persons.
The sultan adds that contrary to the
allegations it was the Turks who were
first attacked while praying in the
mosque
Continuing, the sultan has assured the
queen that the measures taken have
succeeded in restoring order; that except
at Zeitoun quiet prevails everywhere
and the negotiations going on
with the insurgents of Zsitoun
will undoubtedly lead the Inhabitants to
quiet. In regard to the request of Min
ter Terrill that the United States lega-
ton be allowed a second dispatch boat
for its service, the Turkish government
contends that as the passage of the
straits of the DardaneIles was regulated
by an agreement between the six pow
ers, the United States must apply to them
for the necessary permission as she is
not party to the treaty of Paris.
On behalf of the United States it is
understood. the contention is made that
the regulations do not apply to the United
States and that she considers the straits
of the Dardanelles to be open waters.
circles that the reason for the
porte's hesitation to grant the re-
quest of Mr.. TerriIl is the opposition of
Russia to the request of the United
/ States for the passage of an extra guard
ship through the straits.
