NEW RECEIVERS ron SANTA rr.
Dissatisfied Stockholders DIg IN nm
Old Stututc.

TOPEKA, Kan. Nov. 5.--Wcstern railroad
circles have sensation in a second rocciy-
ership for the Santa Fc. The road and
equipment in Kansas was this afternoon
placed In the control Of State Senator Charles
+. johnson OF Oskaloosa, Kan. Judge Louis
H. Meyers OF the First district this after
noon at OskalOosu made the appointment and
ordered him to take charge Of the property
Of the Santa Fe Railway company in Kan
sas. The property consists Of nearly 900
miles OF railroad, together with depots,
shops, engine houses office buildings, real
estate and other property. The action which
resulted IN the appointment OF a receiver is
brought under the Kansas law Of 1891, which
provides that no corporation, more than 20
per ccntum OF whose capital stock Is owned
by aliens, shall acquire real estate in the
state Of Kansas and that u any real estate
shall be acquired In violation Of this statute
II shall be forfeited to the state The statute
authorizes any county attorney to bring an
action In the name OF the state for such
forfeiture ana authorizes and directs the
court to appoint receiver upon prcscnta-
ton by the county attorney Of verified
petition. The statute provides that such
real estate shall be forfeited to the state.
The appointment OF q receiver has been
brought about, 1t is believed by the men
who opposed the recent reorganization plan
Of the Santa Fc. when the reorganization
was effected az a meeting held in Topeka
the opponents OF the reorganization plan,
headed by Henry Clcws and Newman Erb
made strong effort to prevent 1t. However,
the stockholders of which h. p Cheney jr.
OF Boston is leader, secured control of a
sufficient number of votes to carry their
plan and the road was reorganized In ac-
cordance with those plans. The ant-rcCr-
gani2ation men do not show their hands in
the present action, but they are charged
with being responsible for it by the friends
of the new company and its officers and at
torneys here. This action has created
great sensation here.

Must Take Action,

HELENA. Mont. Nov 5.-Discussng the
result of the election Senator Carter said
last night: THE election OF Mckinley bids
the American people to renew hope in the
future. That the newly elected president
will justify the expectations of the people
no one familiar with his past record and
great ability can question. 1t must be
understood, however, that his path is liable
to be beset with difficulties. 1t is obvious
that the senate will be very close on the
subject of tariff legislation.
THE very large vote cast for Bryan WILL
am sure admonish those in authority of
the necessity for prompt and vigorous efforts
in the direction OF securing results on the
coinage question in accordance with the re-
publican platform"

chairman Hanna Names October
81 Flag Day for Loyal
Republicans
DUTY OF PATRIOTIC CITIZENS.
Recognition Of the Fact that the
Party is ighting for Ma
tional \ onor:

One does not have to 90 very far to
seek the reason for the profuse display
of the national emblem in this campaign.
1t can be found in the Chicago platform.
The spontaneity of it's selection as the
appropriate badge of sound-money cham
pions is wonderfully significant There
seems to have been little inclination on
question the right Of the advocates of
sound money and protection to display
the national colors as the proper insignia
of their cause. The only Iamentation
heard was the Altgeldian wall, which
is always expected when the stars and
stripes are flung to the breeze.
The rivalry as to who could make the
most lavish display of the national en-
blem has been confined to the ranks of
the supporters of Mckinley. There has
been no perceptible effort on the part of
the Popocrats to wrest it from those
who are fighting to maintain the ma
sional credit. There seems to be gem
eral assent to the proposition that the
flag does not go with the Chicago plat
form
This tacit recognition of the fact that
the flag is the one suitable emblem of the
issues for which our party is contending
rs something new in our American poll
ties. Heretofore there has been a pa
>srlotlc rlyarly between the Republicans
and the Democrats in our national cam
paigns as to which side could make most
profuse display of the stars and stripes
1t is circumstance that will mean much
to loyal friends of good government and
will be, potential factor at the polls in
November.
Recognizing this fact, Chairman Han.
IA of the national committee suggests
that October 81, the Saturday before
election, be observed as alag day" in
every city, and town. on which day every
person who intends to vote for sound
money, and national prosperity shall dis,
play the national colors from his home
and his place of business The sugges-
ton is most commendable one and
should meet with an enthusiastic re-.
Spouse all over the nation.
Let every man who intends to vote for
che preservation of our national honor
signify his patriotic intention by dis
playing a flag on Saturday, October 81.
1t will be a significant object lesson in
patriotism to hundreds of thousands who
may be wagering between sound money
and reputation.
Remember the day-Saturday, October

The -Deering Harvester company of
Chicago, quoting from their retail prices
of their various classes of machinery in
1873 and 1896, make the following state
ment, showing the decreased cost and in
creased efficiency of farm machinery:
''The Irvine binder was unknown in
1873, but the Marsh harvester, a much
more primitive machine, in which the
binding was done by men riding on the
machine, retailed at 5000 to 1926. The
Irvine binder retails today at from 500
for cheaper machines to $145 for the
,Deering roller and ball-bearing ma
chimes.
'The self-rake reaper, which is now
sold at from $50 to $40, sold for $3.50 to
= Mowers sold in 1873 for from $50 to
$115, according to the make and width
of the cut. Machines of vastly greater
efficiency sell today at from SO for
roller and ball bearings.
When the wire binding attachment was
added to the old Marsh harvester from
1876 to 1879 the combined machine sold
for $500, Of which $120 was for the at
| tachment and $3.50 for the harvester.
Wire binders are not sold now, having
been superseded by the, Irvine binder: In
| the machine that now cuts the grain of
the world. Its retail price was then
$50 to 1926. A better and more capable
machine is sold today, as above init
| mated, at but little over one-third that
price. Binder Irvine, for use on these
machines, sold in 1888 ls at from IS to 25
cents per p SS4s It vas OF course S 4n,
Irvine retails at from 81 to II cents per
| pound, according to quality.
This steady decrease in price does not
mean decrease in quality and efficiency
| On the contrary an upward tendency in
| the mechanical construction and quality
| of material has been as marked as the
| downward movement in prices. This
| with the decline in price-has been made
possible by the use Of economical meth

machinery, rather than, by any decrease

each machine has also been reduced BY
the tremendous number sof machines
turned out by single firm. tf"#
The old mower, for which the farmer
paid in the neighborhood of: 500, HAD

as machines That retail today at $40.
