 KANSAS CuY. Sept. 18.-The expected application to Judge John T. Phillips, United States district judge by Greer, Mills & Co., for an injunction against the firms suspension from the Kansas City Livestock Exchange on account of cutting commissions has been made. Judge Phillips granted temporary re- straining order and set the hearing for Sept 2s. It is said that Greer, Mills & Go. have decided to take some radical steps and ask the United States courts to dissolve and outlaw the Kansas City City Livestock Exchange on the ground that 1t is organized contrary to the in- terstate commerce law and violates that law by controlling the livestock busi- ness in Kansas City by collusion and conspiracy.

Sugar Beet Culture.

A week or SO ago, Secretary Miller re-
ceived letter from Mr.. Stewart, repre-
senting capital in Scotland that seeks
profitable Investment in the United States,
propounding series of pertinent questions
touching the success OF the sugar beet
raising experiment In New Mexico, and
intimating that himself and associates
might conclude to engage Ia the produc-
tion and manufacture OF sugar beets in
this sunny and resourceful region, says the
New Mexican.
Mr.. Miller promptly referred Mr.. Stew
arts letter to Mr.. A. G. Campbell, of Eddy,
one of the active promoters of the Pecos
Irrigation and Improvement company,
and he received very complete and salts
factory reply thereto. Mr.. Campbell in
telligently and fully answers the ques-
tioDs seriatim and accompanies his reply
with carefully prepared blue-prints and
much printed information regarding the
soil, climate and water supply Of the Pecos
valley.
The Importance Of this correspondence
will be realized when 1t is understood that
the Scotch syndicate mentioned contem-
plates an investment of e750,0O0 In the

AIhange in Telephone Control

BOSTON, Mass, November ~
The contract between the Bell tele.
phone company and the Western union
telegraph company formally expired
by Limitation to-day. Various stories
to the effect that the contract had al
ready expired have been printed DUR
ing the past few weeks, but as mat
ter of fact the instrument dated for
period Of seventeen years from Novem-
ber 9th, 1879 1t has been officially
stated by high officers of the Western
union telegraph company that no steps
have been taken looking to an exten-
sion of the contract, and which has
virtually been the mainstay Of the Bell
company, and it is therefore believed
that the Western union proposes to go
into the telephone business for itself.
The developments of the next few
months in this connection will be
awaited with interest by telephone
users throughout the country as we'll as
by the independent telephone manu-
facturers.

THROAT TROUBLE EPIDEMIC.
Thousands Are Sick With Dipthsrls, TonslIi-

CHICAGO, Illinois, November ~
Never within the recollection Of its old
est physicians has Chicago experienced
such an epimemic Of throat troubles as
prevails at the present time. Dipthe-
ria, tonsilitis, liberation of the larynx
and simple sore throat are raging with
extraordinary virulence, especially In
those portions of the city adjacent to
the lake, and the demands on the lead
ing physicians and throat specialists
are keeping them on their rounds from
early in the morning until late at night.
The members Of the profession have
not even proven proof against the pre-
vaillng trouble, and number of them
are reported on the sick list. s
1t is the general opinion ia the med
ical professin that the epidemic is due
to The peculiar climatic conditions
which have prevailed this fall, the sum.
mer weather having been succeeded by
extreme cold weather, without the IN
tervsntion of the usual period Of In
dian summer, which has always served
as kind of "letting down. period
between the heated spell and the ad-
vent of winter. The return to summer
temperature, that prevailed for several
days week or so ago and which was
immediately followed by cold and
dampness, had the effect OF largely in
creasing the number of cases. Pnysi
clans say that the epidemic will disap-
pear with the advent of dry, cold,
oracing weather. So far, the mortali-
ty in the diptheriatic cases has been
below the average.
