THEY TAKE THE CAKE
wichita and Western brings the Ricges
Load of Grain to Wichita This Season.


Load of Grain to Wichita This Season.
To the Wichita and Western belongs
the credit Of bringing to the city the
largest train load Of grain during the
present year. The train consisted OF
fifty-eight cars and a coach. The train
was IN charge Of that Popular conductor
A W. Carry, while the man at the
throttle was none other than Happy
Jack Huff. In the train were fifty-fiye
cars OF grain, or something ike 40. 900
bushels. Add to this the additional cars
brought in by the passenger train would
swell the number of bushels to As 900.
Without doubt this is equal to any ship
ment ever made by any OF the lines
centering in Wichita, and shows that the
great grain belt OF this territory is be-
ing reached by the present reduced rates
Proba bly, at no time in the history of
the state has there been so much grain
gone forth to the various markets as
during the past two weeks. Idle grain
cars can be found in no direction and
all the lines are taxed 10 their utmost
capacity.
BY the reduction made by the Frisco
and Missouri Pacific to ST. Louis and
Memphis. which went into effect on
Monday, the greater volume of the ship
nent is made in this direction. Stiu the
south is a strong second and the corn
crop OF Kansas is being pushed TO the
seaport.
Two extra buyers arrived from the
south and an active competition is now
received by persons handling grain, and
the great need OF the elevator is aug
me1ted every day. One farmer in speak
ing TO reporter for the agile said:
Il have lost $3.50 in the past week"
How is that?" asked the reporter.
simply because the elevator was not
built last year. Suppose that had had
my wheat in the elevator last Wednes-
day morning and had a receipt for the
same in my pocket. On that day could
have transferred the receipt and re-
celved $50 more than I did today. The
price was right but my wheat was in the
bin and before ! could take advantage
OF the price il Went down. The way for
a man 10 make money on grain is to
nave IL where he can sell il when the
proper time comes. When the elevator
Is built will keep my grain there and
oe ready 10 sell in moment instead OF
having 10 wait until 1 can get IL TO
market II IS the only safe way"
This is the last week OF the elevator
and every friend OF Sedgwick county
wants 10 see that nothing IS lacking
when Mr.. Caldwell and his company ar
rive Saturday. II the people do their
duty the work VIII begin oa the eleva-
tor within a few days

EATEN BY HEssIAN FLIES.
Wheat I'm Carroll and Other Counties
May BE a Failure.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
DELPHI Ind, May 14.-There is no longer
any doubt that the wheat crop in northern
Indiana is to be greatly injured If not totally
destroyed again this year as it was last
by the fly Grain dealers of this city
have sent men through this and adjoining
counties to examine the fields Of growing
grain and they report that they did not
enter single field that was not infested
with this pest. Some of the fields which two
weeks ago promised an immense yield have
been cut down entirely and it will not pay
to enter with a harvester The insect is
getting in it's most disastrous work in the
wheat that was sown in corn ground and
that which was put in late in the fail. 1t
also shows a preference for clay ground,
the examination showing that wheat on
black ground is not suffering so badly. The
insect works in the joint of the wheat
stalk The wheat may start to head all
right, but the fly cuts it down and the
head falls and dies. Farmers in this section
state that about twenty-five years ago the
fly worked for three or four years in
succession when II disappeared to return
last year. They fear that its visit will ex-
tend over several years and scores of farm
ers have stated that they will not under
any circumstances sow any more wheat
until they are assured that the pest has
taken its departure.

LONDON, May A.-The correspondent of
the Standard at Madrid says: Gloomy i'm
pressions reign in Havana as to the pros
poets for military operations and reinforce
ments of twenty battalions are deemed in
dispensable, because the local volunteers do
not respond to the call to arms, with the
coming Of the rainy season. Several fill
buster expeditions have landed war materi-
ais on various parts of the island Lately.
The insurgents are credited with an inten-
ton of renewed activity during the ap-
preaching unhealthy season when Euro
peas cannot move easily on account Of the
tropical heat and rains"
The Standard correspondent also says:
"All of the papers connected with the trial
of the men captured on the Competitor will
be duly impaired 10 the United States gov
eminent, which has instructed Mr.. Taylor,
the United States minister at Madrid, to
ask for the record in the case. The Ameri-
can note was friendly, but firm In tone and
said that the United States did not object
to a trial by the ordinary military courts,
subject to the guarantees supplied by treat
les. Germany and France have vainly
tried for several months TO obtain an ex-
tension +; their subjects in Cuba of the
same treatment as the American treaties
afford to citizens of the United States"
