when AIl the Terms Expire.
On April the terms Of all the mem
bers of the police force expire. If there are
patrolmsn to be got rid of they are usu-
ally dropped from the rolls at the an
nual election.
1t is doubtful If there will be many
changes, as all the old officers are appli-
cants for reappointment. Besides these
there are at least twenty five applicants
for positions on the force.
President Foster of the board of police
commissioners says that the force is now
giving good satisfaction and he is not in
favor of making changes He watches
things closely around the police station.

transactions by the board of Interest to
Sterling and in WoOdson County.
Some time ago F. L Goodson of Sterl-
ing, com planned that the Santa Fe was
discriminating against Sterling in the
matter of coal rates. BEFORE the board
had arrived at decision, Mr.. Goodson
wrote that the matter had been satisfac-
torily adjusted by the company and the
case was dismissed.
The prayer of Henry Peters that the
Missouri Pacific be compelled to sstab.
lish and maintain telegraph station at
Rose. in Wood5on county, was refused.
The board found on investig alton that 1t
would cost the company $50 a month ex-
ira and would bring them in less than 50.

The state board of railroad commits

Santa Fe that it will put into effect on
April lat new freight tariff sheet be-

This is in direct line with the wishes
of the board that impelled it to make
complaint to the interstate commerce
commission three weeks ago, in which
complaint was made against the dis
elimination against Kansas points inter
mediate between the Missouri river and
the gulf points as Well as New Orleans
It is regarded, in fact. as being a re-

The auditorium of the First Baptist

the Rev. Charles B. Mitchell of Kansas
City in his lecture upon "The Prize
Taker"
The pastor of the church, the Rev. III
L. Thomas, introduced the lecturer, and
referred to him as coming from ''pore
ole Missouri" DIR. Mitchell rather re-
sented this reference to his abiding
place, and said that he could not be
blamed for living in Missouri; he was
probably like a good many Topekans-
could not get away. One of his most
pointed remarks was:
Some people talk too much. They
never do anything else. and that ia why
they do not win a prize. I would give
them the advice offered once by Sir

painter, Sew up your mouths"
