ST. LOUIS SEEKS A REMEDY.
Asks Lower Rates on Grain From
Western Points.

Business men of St Louis are becoming
alarmed at the DETECTION of the grain traf-
fic to Gulf ports and are seeking to regain
their lost prestige by means of lower rate
to that city from Western Missouri and
Kansas points. They claim that the pres
ent rates are diScriminative against the
Mound city. as it costs much 10 ship
grain there from Kansas as to Galveston.
The Kansas City Transportation bureau
takes the position that the demand of ST.
Louis is rot well founded and has sent out
circulars showing wherein the request is
untenable. The circular is accompanied by
a report of the crop exports for the past
ten months of this year. showing that they
exceed those of the corresponding months
of last year by 81, $50 996 bushels. OF this
enormous increase far more than half has
gone to Southern ports.
st. Louis, Mo-. Nov. ga joint tariff
sheet has been issued by the Southwest
ern Traffic Association which promises to
be of vast benefit to business men and
shippers. 1t covers rates to the City of
Mexico. San Luis PotoSi, Laredo and Mex
ican common points, and will, it is thought,
have the effect of greatly stimulating trade
between the city and Mexico.
The new tariff bears a date of November
20. and will go into effect December l. 1t
gives this city the advantage of greatly
reduced rates, and places il in an advan-
tageous position over New York. Chicago.
Cincinnati, Pittsburg. Louisville and COM
petng points. The difference in the rates
between this city and the City OF Mexico
and those between St Louis strongest
competitors and the capital of the South
ern republic is SO great that 1t is thought
it will enable the business men and ship
perS of this city TO cut into the trade of
their competitors to an extent that will
make Mexican business highly profitable

THEIR INTERFERENCE GOOD.
One Tramp Picks Up an oyercoat
While Two Others Block the
Clothing Proprietor.

Isaac Weinburg's Thanksgiving was
sad one. Isaac has a small second hand
clothing store at 312 Main street, and by
dint of close figuring and never overload
ing the festive dinner board for his wife
and little ones has accumulated a neat
bank account. This winter he was not COM
PEELED to dispense only second hand gar
ments, but laid in a little stock of new
overcoats, pants, etc. These he advertis-
ed at alarmingly low prices with uneven
placards placed in the front windows of
his store. Yesterday Isaac saw the cold
wave flag floating from the Rialto build
ing, and, having a nose for trade, adorned
dummy with one of the newly purchased
overcoats and stood it in front of the door.
The effect was magical, and bore fruit be-
yond any expectation of the dispenser of
'Benjamins."
The overcoat had been Just wrapped
about the dummy, which was only intend
ed apparently for spring overcoats, which
are shorter than winter ones, and Isaac
had seated himself and family about a tur-
key to do honor to the Christian Thanks
giving, when the door was opened and
three strange faces pushed themselves
through rush line of red and yellow
neckties and kerchiefs hanging on cord
al the door Each face on a second glance
proved to be attached to a mass of human
ity, generally known as man, ragged and
disheyeled. Isaac pushed back his chair
and ran in the direction of his money
drawer. He looked first at the men and
then toward Fourth and Main streets,
where he hoped to see a policeman But
there were no policemen. policemen are
only a gag, anyhow" thought Isaac. and
decided to rely wholly on his own wit to
battle the Weary Willies,' who con-
fronted him. 1t had often served him a
good turn before and he knew it would not
desert him in this hour of need While
two of the strangers made themselves ac-
quainted with Isaacs price list and how
much he took off for cash. third one ran
his sleeveless arm into a pile of over
coats on the counter
We're arter buyin' a garment apiece,
ky" said the spokesman of the men. eve
noticed da was a cold wave comm"
Isaac was pleased with the outlook for
a sale before dinner and stepping to the
door, pointed to the dummy and said there
was good garment for the money.
Dat jest suits me. Ky" said the tramp
who was nearest the dummy, and with
a motion born of long experience, he ripped
IL from the dummy's shiverinE form and
started through an alley with it, the other
"Wearys" forming good interference for
him and keeping Isaac well to the rear
After the tramps had disappeared in the
alley. Weinburg ran to Central station,
where his wailing closely resembied that of
a man suffering from stomach pains When
Isaac could tell what had happened, Cap
tain Burns sent out officers Hoover and
Lewis, but the tTamps had flown and were
not to be found. Isaac did not return to
his dinner. 1t had no charms for him

There was reS-elry by night" and the

an early hour this morning there was hard

the numbers. to give the boys a chance
to fill out their programmes or prepare
themselves for the next dance.
Not since the first bali given years and
years ago for the benefit of the Police Re
lief Association has an event been looked
forward to with more genuine satisfaction
by the members of the Metropolitan police
force in Kansas City, their friends, Tela-
tives and constituents. than the function
which took place last night in the Casino
and Music hall on Broadway. At the out
set, when il was known the old Priests of
Pallas ball room at Seventh street and
Lydia avenue could not be used because
it had been condemned, the committee on
arrangements, which had the police ball
in charge, was aware that no other single
hall in Kansas City would accommodate
the crowd that would attend. and it ar
ranged for double ball. And it was well
such an arrangement was made, for a
mighty crowd was in attendance. a crowd
that would have packed either one of the
halls so full it would have been impossi-
bic to have moved in either of them was
1t was a grand sight to see the people
Every officer on day duty and many Of
those detailed to night duty had shirked
his post and appeared in fall uniform TO
do honor to the occasion, with his wife
or best girl. Besides, a large number of
citizens attended the festivities in either
hall and threw away care to the mystic
strains of Lenge's double orchestra.
Promptly at S O'Clock the grand mar5h
was announcer in both the Casino and
Music hall, a brass band of eight pieces
leading the van. At Music hall Detective
Tom Hayde and his daughter. Miss Isabel
led the march, while in the Casino Inspect

TO the close. The bands merged into or
chestras and all went well.

regarding the matter she said the dance
should not be delayed as the chiefs con-
Giticu was not serious.

Miss Kennedy Screamed.

When Miss Sadie Kenney, of 1918 Troost
avenue, passed from the kitchen into the
dining room of her home at II o'clock
Wednesday night, she was confronted by
a burly burglar who was trying his best
to gather up a handful of table silver that
was on the dining room table. Like most
young women, under similar circumstances,
Miss Kenney screamed upon beholding the
burglar and he cautioned her:
EFF ye scream agin I'll shoot ye" But
the young woman was only thinking of
her mothers silver and screamed again.
The last scream was louder than the first
one and the burglar. no doubt thinking he
would certainly be detected, ran out a side
door, through which he had entered and
which he had left open for rapid exit.
Hs took nothing.

SANTA FEs NEW DEPARTMENT.

Systems TERRITORY.

st. Joseph, Mo-. Nov. 26.-(Special) The
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe has estab-
lished an industrial department TO be in

COOKE THE MEDIUM.
The skeptics VIII Have an Opportun-
ity to Test Him.


DR.. Cooke. the medium who some years
ago made quite a sensation in New York,
through his spiritualistic manifestations
will make his first appearance in this city
a. the Gilliss theater Sunday night, No
vember %. All agree that this seance is
extraordinary to a degree remarkable, un-
excelled by any seance of the kind before
the public. Cooke leaves the audience to
draw their own inference as to the motive
force of his manifestations, neither claim
ing. as some do, to have the aid of super
natural powers, nor confessing that he is
alone dependent upon his own exertions
and dexterity. IF l do not have invisible
aid pray tell me how do these things?"
A highly nervous, but bright, intelligent
gentleman he seems to be. without power
to do one-half the feats that are made a
regular part of his seance. AT the Gilliss
Sunday night the skeptical may be pres
ent with liberty to subject the gentleman
to any reasonable test and free to detect
what they can. A small admission fee
will be charged
