Live stock traffic from Texas and
Oklahoma points to Chicago is being
greatly stimulated by a fight now in
progress between the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific railroad and the
Southwestern Traffic association lines.
Formerly the Rock Island was al
lowed a differential rate on cattle from
Oklahoma and northern Texas points,
but, being threatened with war by the
associated Texas roads, it accepted the
regular association tariff. Since then
the cattle have been driven from Rock
Island points to points on other lines
Having lost the great bulk of cat-
tie traffic it decided about week ago
to re-establish the former diffmerential.
The regular rate of 1914 cents for 100
pounds on cattle from Texas to Chi
cago was reduced to A cents. To pre-
serve it's differential the Rock Island
yesterday reduced the rate to 421k cents
per 100 pounds.

The Hutchinson News says:
In his speech at Mcpherson last week
Jerry Simpson INDUCED in a harangue
which caught the anarchistic element
of his crowd, and they cheered his wild
utterances to the echo.
His attack was on John Sherman, of
course, and of him he said:
John Sherman, who is at the head of
the Wall street gang, which makes it's
profit off the national treasury, says
that he proposes to take the last shirt
off the backs of the people to maintain
the gold reserve. 1 want to tell you
that when John Sherman gets my shirt
it will be when I shoulder my musket
to kill off such scOundrels as John Sher-
man"
OF course no one with any judgment
had any other idea than that Jerry
lied about what John Sherman said,
but G. L. Vaughn, the well known trav-
cling man of this city, in order to refute
the statement, sent letter to Sherman
asking him if he ever used such an ex-
preston. To this letter Mr.. Sherman
replied as follows:
Mansfield, o., Aug. "a, 1896.
Mr.. G. L. Vaughn, Hutchinson, Kan:
Dear Sir: Your note of the 18th is
received. 1t is hardly necessary for me
to contradict the statement of Hon.
Jerry Simpson, which you quote 1
never made such a remark. The Ian
guage quoted by you as used by Simp-
son ought to exclude him from all as
sociation with decent people. Very
truly yours, JOHN SHERMAN"

of the year when the garbage becomes
a great nuisance as every one knows.
I do not see where the expense comes
in.
Councilman Elliott would like to
ask the city attorney whether section
two can be enforced.
City Attorney Bird think the pro-
vision concerning receptacles can be
enforced, but there may be trouble in
determining what is garbage.
Councilman Elliott have been in
formed by lawyers that it could not be
enforced. I would like to know what
these men will do in the months when
there is no trouble with garbage.
Councilman Drew-Let them be at
work cleaning up the alleys. Every
one knows that it is needed.
Councilman Elliott is too expen-
sive It will add $40 per month to the
cost of the present system
Councilman Stevens-It would cost
less than 81 for every 1000 inha bitants.
Councilman Nettels-This system is
in use in many smaller places. For an
added cost of $40 per month we could
substitute an efficient system for one
which is admittedly faulty and unsat-
isfactory.

NOW FOR THEPAVEMENT
City Council Starts the Good
Work
Of Restoring TOpeRa's Beauti-
full Asphalt Streets.
Contract is Awarded to the Barber
Company, Who Will Begin
Work Monday.

The contracts for repairing the as
phaIt pavements were awarded to the
Barber company last night without
| opposition. The provisions of the con-
| tracts are the same as previously
| agreed upon.
There are two contracts, one for $780,
900 for putting the pavements in re-
pair and the other for like sum for
keeping them in repair for FIVE years.
1t was found necessary to make two
contracts because of a legal point
raised by the attorneys of the Barber
company.
Councilman Elliott objected last
night to the price allowed the Barber
company in the contract for repairing
holes in the pavement made by plumb
ers, $3.50 per square yard.
1.-THE city does not pay it," said
Councilman Stevens.
Councilman Elliott-Every man that
lives here is a part of the city and we
are sent here to represent the citizens.
Councilman Drew-If it was worth
$3.50 to put down the pavement in the
first place it is surely worth $3.50 to
patch the holes made by plumbers.
Mayor F'ellows-This matter was dis
cussed and settled at a previous meet
ing and nothing can be done unless we
reconsider our former action.
The matter then went over without
further discussion and the contract
was awarded according to the origi-
nal contract.
The Barber company will commence
work next Monday and agree to have
the pavements in repair within thirty
days.
This action on the part of the city
council is to be hailed with great sat
isfaction by the people of the city in
general and the council is to be con-
graduated on its good judgment
There was a little furry of excite
ment at the council chamber last night
over Councilman Nettels' garbage or
dinance about which SO much has been
written.
The ordinance has been bitterly
fought by the present sanitary force
who are fearful that if it is adopted
they will either have to work harder
or lose their positions. Some of them
are men of ''fooence'' in their wards
and they were careful to call upon the
councilmen. After a long discussion
the ordinance was finally laid over by
a close vote. Tt may be passed at a
subsequent meeting.
Councilman Roundtree of the Fifth
ward opened the fight on the ordinance
by Directing to the expense. He said
the garbage cans would cost too much,
that they would be too large to handle
and the people could not afford to buy
them.
1.-THE ordinance does not compel any,
one to buy them" said Councilman
Warner. Neither does it compel peo-
pie who do not produce garbage to fur
nish a receptacle"
Councilman Nettels-Any receptacle
can be used just so it is small enough
to be handled readily. The ordinance
simply recommends the use of metal
cans.
Councilman Stephenson-There are
MANY good things about this ordinance.
but it is too expensive.
Councilman Stevens-I do not agree
with my colleague There are times

IN THE HUBBARD CASE.
Referee Charles F. Spences Takes Tes
timony of A D. Hubbard.

Referee Charles Spencer spent yester-
day afternoon in taking the testimony
of A. D. Hubbard in the Investigations
to discover what Hubbard's shortage
is in the receivership of the Hamilton
Printing company.
Hubbard has not been able to testify
until yesterday, when he spent four
hours on the witness stand at his home
in Quinton Heights. He was examined
by J. B. Larimer and made explana-
lions of some of the alleged shortages
in his accounts. He is not yet able to
walk. He will be ss-examined soon.
His testimony will probably necessitate
the taking of more testimony from
other witnesses. No one knows what
the shortage is, and it may be a month
before Mr.. Spencer files his report.
