is to find out just how the reconsigning
practice at Kansas City serves to cut
the rates on grain. All the witnesses
acknowledg the existence of this prac-
tice, and the two railroad officials said
also that the scheme was open to illegal
practices. The commission has sum
moned Joint Agent Maegley of Kansas

he is reported to have been instructed
to absolutely refuse to produce the doc

ground that he is not a railway officer

County Attorney Whittemore has re-
turned from his trip to the east, where
he has been for several moons
AS result, the commissioners held a
meeting last evening, although for a
time it looked as though he would not
materialize.
But he did, and great were the results.
The meeting discussed hay, high water
and bonds. Not that the two last-named
SUBJECTS have anything to do with each
other, oh, no. There IS no water on the
bonds. il is on the hay
II arose IN this manner. The county
attorney was expected to Shy mis- castor
IN the arena and tell what he knows
about finance, Mckinley and other TOPICS
When he dld not show up it was believed
that he had missed a train somewhere
on the road. The commissioners agreed
TO wait a half hour or SO and see If he
would not come, when David Mckenzie,
VINO lives across the river, in the vicinity
OF the Decker lake, came in with a tale
Oh woe, which he recited audibly-very
audtbly indeed.
David has large field of alfalfa over
there which he wants to cut, but can
not, on account of high water He AYERS
that the water is eight inches deep on
his meadows, and that it is rising half
an inch each day, and unless something
is done to mitigate the situation he will
nave to do his haying in boat.
Mr. Mckenzie said that some years ago,
When another set of men were running
the business of the county, that the court
and the representatives of the three
canal companies which operate over on
the other side of Jordan in the sweet
helds of Eden. came to him and his
nelghbors and asked if they could make
a ditch by connecting at either end of
one he and his neighbors had constructed,
SO they could drain off the water He
and the neighbors agreed to the matter

received a cent for the same
For time everything was lovely and
the water flowed merrily, until recently
the water arose and the ditch refused
to carry off the water. 1t over1ows the
banks, and that's what is preventing the
haying on the Mckenzie ranch. At first
Mr.. Mckenzie threatened a suit; then he
compromised by saying if the commits
sioners would come over and look after
him, he would have a churn full of but
termilk and lots of things.
So the road committee and the surveyor
were appointed to go over and will visit
the place this afternoon

brother had the contract letter referred
to in his pocket and that there was an
epistle to him confirming all the kilograms
which had passed upon the subject and
that the sale could be effected.
At this point Commissioners Roberts
and Chrstepherson suggested they would
like to have a little time for considera-
ton, and also would like the opinions of
some of the leading bankers of the city
or the matter.
This brought out the statement from the
county attorney that Mccormick would
like S25, 900 in the pot if he could get it.
Finally it was decided to ask the opin-
ions of Superintendent Weber, of the

MUCH MONEY WAS SPENT


to save timbers which were endangered
by forest fires in northern Michigan
At the time of the last annual meeting
President Barber estimated the value
of this lumber at $1,5OO,OOO.
In 1888 the Moores organized the
American Strawboard company under
the laws of Illinois, to control the man
ufacture of straw boards and wood
pulp. The company acquired. some q
paper mills, located in eight states, and
for a time it practically controlled the
entire output of straw board. The
American Strawboard company has a
capital stock of S6000,000. For the last
two years the Moores have not been
in terested to any considerable extent
in this corporation.
The last of the companies organized
by the Moores was the New York Bis
cult company, which was Incorporated
in 1880. This was a, rival concern to
the American Biscuit company. Bak-
cries in a number of states were pur-
chased and the business of making
bread and crackers was actively en-
gagged in The capital stock of this
company at the present time is $4,000,
900. It

The principal one of these was the

the record of the previous day was not

was on May 4,swhen the stock sold at
S2.4S.
From this figure the quotations de-
clined to $2.25, and then it broke to 81.
