GET JOBBERS RATES,
ABILENE WINS ITS FIGHT AT
TOPEKA
Board Of Railroad Commissioners
Gives the Abilene Delegation all
It AsksF ora Big Thing for
Business Houses.

A special dispatch from Topeka
says that the board Of railroad COM
missioners gave the Abilene delega-
tion hearing this morning and the
request Of this city that it be put on
a like basis with other cities. Abb
lene was represented by J. B. Case,
D. L. Pisle, c. A. Hodge, Elmer
Forney, J. E. Brewer, N. B. Robson
G. W. Hurd, John Johntz and others.
The board decided that jobbers'
rates should be extended to Abilene
on freight in classes !, 2, 5, and A.
This is all Abilene asks and it makes
q material reduction on practically
every article Of merchandise shipped
into the city, including lumber and
implements. 1t also applies to out
going freight and is Of special interest
to the creamery industry as it will
reduce freights about 80 per cent on
the average. Abilene now gets the
same rates for freight shipments to a
given distance as Kansas City or any
city in Kansas gets for shipments to a
like distance. That is what jobbers'
rates mean and 1t enables Abilene to
establish wholesale houses as well as
Wichita, Topeka and Salina. Abilene
has been at a great disadvantage
heretofore and the new ruling will be
well worth the effort 1t has cost. The
business men deserve credit for their
success.

HAVING AN EFFECT.
Farmers May Be Relieved from
Stockyard Extortion.

The REFLECTOR has been making a
fight against the extortion practiced
by the Kansas City stockyard in
charges for grain and the handling Of
stock. Now the Kansas City Star is
taking it up and says
The Stock Yards company will be
requested tomorrow to reduce the
price of corn in the yards from 81 a
bushel to fifty cents bushe. There
has been considerable complaint
against the exorbitant prices charged
by the yard company, and this morn
ing petition was circulated among
the commission men, making a formal
request for the reduction. 1t was
numerously signed and found no op-
position. The stockmen argue that
fifty cents bushel is big price as
long as the corn is as cheap as today.
They say that great deal more will
be consumed at the reduced price.
The yard company pays less than
twenty-five cents a bushel for corn.
This exorbitant charge has been a
tax on every man who sold a head Of
stock through the Kansas City
market and the fight should be kept
up until this and other similar evils
are stopped.

junction City Union: The ball
game at Abilene goes to show that
base ball is an uncertain thing.
While the game was a square defeat
for the Leaguers, it goes to show that
ball players can play ball sometimes
and can't or don't play other times.
As compared with the game yester-
day, the playing of Junction City was
like lot Of school boys. Even our
best batters were at the mercy Of
Summers, while Crooch could not get
a strike over the plate any more than
he could fly. His grey matter was in
a decidedly agitated condition, and
the havoc he created in those brief
two innings was something awful.
While the game was lost practically
by Crooch's wildness, the team show
ed up in very poor form, and play
ed with no ginger. The umpire was
all right, and Abilene won the game.
The laugh was on us, and Abilene
has our permission to howl.

FREE "C0RNAGE. "
Dickinson Will Have a Tremendous
Yield.

The fields of corn are an exempli-
fcation of the single standard in
crops that is the thing in this county
this year. Wheat and oats were not
bowling success but the corn is
putting out well-hlled ears that will
make up for it all. The yield will
probably be the best in ten years or
more and there will be no need Of any
farmer lacking well-flled crib.
The price will be low but the farmers
who are wise will feed the grain and
sell it in the shape Of cattle and hogs.
The acreage last year was 100000
acres and the yield about 3,5OO'Ooo
bushels in the county. The acreage
this year is about the same but the
yield will be probably more than
double that Of 1895.

Father Was at Chapman.

The Kansas City papers report a
pitiful occurrence at that place Satur-
day afternoon. The little 6 year old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Nc
Carly was crossing the street when a
cable car came along and she was
crushed to death in the presence of
her mother, who was running to meet
her. Her father is an engineer and
was at Chapman when the accident
occurred. He was sent for. 1t is
claimed the car had no light and the
little one did not hear or see it.

TALKED ON TEMPERANCE.
Major Scott and Wife Address Large
Audiences.

Major Scott, national lecturer Of
the W. C. I. u, with his wife is in
the city and they addressed large
audiences on temperance topics at the
Methodist church Sunday. Mrs.
Scott spoke in the morning, her sd-
dress taking the place Of the morn
ing sermon. She is pleasant speaker
and thoroughly informed on her sub
ject. 1t was helpful and interest
ing discourse.
A large audience crowded the
church in the evening to listen to the
temperance lecture by Major Scott.
From his reputation as an orator and
temperance worker the people came
expecting to hear good address and
were not disappointed. Though the
evening was warm and the house
crowded yet the speaker held close
attention for an hour while he set
forth the conscience phase Of the
great temperance reform. He gave
many striking facts which were cal
culated to produce conviction. The
lecture contained several anecdotes
and sentences Of humorous char
acter as well as frequent outbursts of
intense earnestness and oratory. The
meeting was a great success.
Major and Mrs. Scott are making
tour of Kansas for the purpose of
arousing public sentiment in support
of the prohibitory law. They have
just arrived from California, Abilene
being the place of their first meeting
on this tour. They made two similar
tours in Kansas, the first ten years
ago and the second two years ago.
They are workers Of national reputa-
tion and are worthy Of all confidence.

SENTIMENT RETR0GRADEs.
Major Scott Thinks Kansas Needs
Prohibition Effort,

Major Z. B. Scott, who has been
lecturing in the city under the aus
pices of the W. c. I. u, is one Of the
best informed and most widely trav-
eled lecturers in the country. He has
just come from California but has
been in every state in the Union. He
visited Kansas ten years ago and
again two years ago, and was asked
by the REFLECTOR what in his opinion
is the tendency Of the prohibition SEN
timent in the State. sit is retro
grading" was his reply. "There is a
less strict enforcement Of the law than
a few years ago. Kansas needs an
awakening. ! do not believe the law
will be repealed, however. 1t takes
long time to change the constitution.
All the money forces in favor Of the
liquor traffic have moved on Kansas
since the Iowa victory and this ac-
counts for some Of the change Of SEN
timent in this State"
