Freight rates in Kansas have been
raised and it costs three cents
bushel more now to ship corn from
Jewell county to Kansas city, than it
did sevsral weeks ago. The railroads
had to do something to get back the
money they contributed to the Nc
Kinley campaign fund, and they have
taken this method in order to compel
the Kansas populist farmers to re-

Anti-Saloon Leagues President Com.
ments OH the SituatfOn-Whaf
May BE Done.

! Present conditions indicate that the
recent order of the Commissioners, pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor in the immoral
houses in the Division, is shortly TO become
IA dead letter. as did a similar order issued
about year ago.
| The former result of the annual spasm
\ of virtue on the part of the heads OF the
local government lasted about week. and
| then the keepers OF the houses began 10

| increased their patronage, and the policy
| Of non-intcrfercnce on the part of the
police soon emboldcned them to Sell openly
| and at all times. The same beaten path
| is being followed in the present instance.
1t is safe TO say that not once since the
order was Issued has the sale OF liquor
| in the Division absolutely ceased, and from
all reports il would seem that nearly
every house in that section dispensed
liquid refreshments Saturday and Sunday
nights.
Mr.. James L. Ewin, president of the
Anti-S3loon League. said today that the
league had taken no action in the matter
of liquor selling in the immoral houses, as
they had SO far confined their efforts to
preventing the issue of licenses in that
locality.
while we are not in favor of spe;i kea sizes.
and as good citizens believe In the en-
forcement of the law, and will do all we can
to help it," said he, We believe that licensed
places do as much harm. especially amid
such surrounding, as the unlicensed places

The subject Ofthe sale of liquor on Sunday
on the ferry boats and excursion steamers
has also been made the subject OF inyt.sti-

subject had been made to the president
today. Mr.. Ewin said that the matter was
one that should be given immediate attcn-

doubtedly exists. though, have no doubt
but that the Anti saloon League will take

HACKNAN GORDON HELD UP

started to mount his box. The street was
deserted at the time. Just as Gordon had
placed his foot on the carriage STEP he
states, three big colored men suddenly ap-
peared out of the gloom.
Hold on there" said one.
Gordon turned to see who the speaker
was when another OF the trio stepped
in front of him and thrust cooked revolver
full in his face, with the remark: Give
us yer wad.''
Before the astonished driver could ma Ike
an outcry he was seized from behind and
his pockets rifled of all the money he
had. about 50. Before leaving. the ne

Policemen Scramlin and Kuupfer were as

The frequency of highway robberies here
of late is causing considerable alarm, and ex-

Sudden Change in the Fortunes of a
Poor Carpenter.
Springfield, o., March 9.-James Wood
and his wife arrived home yesterday from
their trip to Ireland, where he obtained the
last slice, amounting to $50 600, of a big
fortune from his,great uncle's estate. The
totalamount thabhas sbeenturned oyertohim
is $225, 5,0O0.sA
Wood up TO two yearsago was a poor car
penter who had a hard time to support his
family on So per day. When ex-Mayor
johnson, as attorney, took Woods case he
was very skeptical, but soon became enthu-
siastic. >TtJr
Woods right to the Inheritance, which in
toto was about $2,0SO,OOO, hinged on
the finding of the record OF the marriage Of
his grandfather, John Wood. a British naval
officer, to pretty Irish girl while he was on
shore at Cork, Ireland, for a few days.
This was found, and after that there was
clear sailing.

FORTUNE OF THE CHADwIcKs.
Queen Anne Laid Its Foundation by
Falling Into II Soldiers Arms.

wilmington. Del. March 9.-Samuel II.
Chad wick of 1927 French street, George
Chadwi OF Maryland avenue and Liu-
den street, Susan Chadwick of Twenty
first and Market streets, and Sarena Chad
wick, also living at the la st-named plac are
interested in fortune left in England by
Sir Andrew Chadwick.
This is a peculiar case and one of long.
standing. The founder OF the family for
tune referred TO above was favorite
soldier in the Palace Guard of Queen Anne,
and once had the good fortune TO catch her
ma ajesty as she fell down stairs, thereby
saving her. supposedly, from serious injury.
This, at least. was the explanation given
out for knighting Chad wick. II used to be
limited pretty strongly, however, by his
grandson. the father Of George Chadwick,
who lives here, that there was another story
in it.
The old man is dead now, but there arc
those living here who still remember that
he used to express skepticism regarding the
wick's arms at the foot Of the stairs on the
occasion referred to, intimating pretty
clearly his opinion that it was not the re-
suit of fall al all.
The Chad wicks who live here have never,
so far as known, disturbed themselves much
about the real or imaginary English estate.
They are quiet working people and probably
think their tradesmen's wages are better
than a chase after English fortunes.

John c. Eckel. managing editor of the
