action on the part Of the company is an
acknowledgment OF the authority Of the
board TO revise rates. The representa-
tives OF the company acknowledged that
the rates we're an injustice and stated
that they were in effect as the result OF
an error in making up the rate sheets.
There is a disposition to believe that the
concession was made to escape the posi-
bility OF having to let the Commissioners
examine the books Of the company.
This examination if made would have
shown the cost of the road, it's operation
and it's ability to earn dividends or create
deficits, as the case might be. The
change will affect Lyons, Chase and
Mitchell, and no other stations. It is
probable that the immediate and satis-
factory termination Of this case will re-

THE SHIPPERS WIN,
The POUulist Railroad Commissioners De-
eide That the Carload Rate for
Stock is Still in Effect.

The effort Of the stock shippers to se'
cure restoration Of the old carload rate
has been successful, so far as the Rail
road Commissioners are concerned. The
matter came up before the board Gall OF
the members Of which are Populists)
last Thursday. After q short hearing OF
statements Of the parties, the board
called attention to the fact that it had
previously ordered that the carload rate
be used and that that order is still in
effect. The board means by this that
the railroads are violating a valid order
of the board. This order will stand until
the final hearing Of the case, which is
set for September 2l.
The railroads having indicated no dis
position TO comply with the order, j. W.
Robinson, one Of the complainsnts, So
cured the floor and said: "These attor'
neys and the railroads have been
attempting to bulldoze the Commission
ers. It is clear case Of intimidation.
These railroad men care nothing about
our laws or the orders OF the Commits
sioners. They simply put in this new
rate for the purpose Of getting all the
money they can out Of the stock shippers
at the busy season Of the year. I am
Republican and always have been, But
want to say right here, that unless
these companies make an effort to deal
fairly with us in this matter, the cattle
mon and other citizens Of Kansas, re-
gardless Of party, will petition Governor
Leedy to call a special session of the
Legislature to make rates and find out
whether the State Of Kansas is as big as
the railroads which run through it."
The administration and the Commits
sioners evidently believe that the stock
shippers have just cause for complaint,
and they will do everything in their
power to secure relief for them.

Santa Fe Corrects Rates,

Commissioners, alleging that exorbitant
rates were being charged by the Santa

when the attorneys asked for recess for
a conference, which was granted, OF

by Samuel Jones, attorney for complain

McBRIpE NOMINATED.

Good Feeling Toward the Nominee.
In the Sumner. CowIey Judicial dis
triCt the Populists seem to have loaded
up with an alarming lack Of harmony
this year. The nomination was origin
ally to have been made by the primary
system, the primaries to be participated
in by all persons who had voted for
Bryan. The ticket would then have
been headed by some new party appella-
tion, but legal opinions confirmed the
belief that even il such a nomination
were made it would be necessary to
afterward nominate by petition in order
to get the nominee on the ballot regu-
larly. It was also questionable whether
either of the parties interested could run
q ticket next year without fling it by
petition, 80 the silver primary idea was
abandoned and @ convention was called.
This convention was to consist Of eleven
delegates from Cowley and ten from
Sumner. In the Sumner county con
vention Judge Ray (sllver Rep !, who was
formerly Judge Of the district, having
been elected as a Republican, and w. I.
Mcbride Dem.l contested for the dele
CATION. Mcbride won the ten delegates
by q decisive vote. In Cowley county,
Attorneys Fuller, johnson, Forsyth and
O'Hare were candidates. Fuller had the
largest following, but not enough to
secure instructions or a complete delega-
tion for himself. The convention in
structed the delegates to vote as unit
for a Cowley county man, and if any del
egRte refused to do that the other dele
gates should have power to vacste his
seat and substitute some one who would
obey instructions.
When the judicial convention con-
vened a report was adopted providing
that if after twenty ballots had been
taken no candidate had q majority, on
the next ballot the candidate receiving
plurality should be declared the nomi-
nee. The bslloting began as follows:
Mcbride 10, Fuller 6, Forsyth 2, Johnson
2, O'Hare /. This followed without ma
terial change for seven ballots. Then,
on motion Of a Cowley delegate, a recess
was taken for conference. After the
conference motion declaring that the
last ballot taken be considered the twen-
tieth ballot and that the twenty-frst
ballot be now taken, was adopted. This
ballot was the same as the first, except
that the Fuller delegates declined to
vote, which made the total vote cast is,
OF which Mcbride got 10, which gave
him the plurality necessary to nominate
Everything tends to indicate that this
result is accepted with good grace by all.

continue between Cowley county men,
but will not affect Mcbride, as all OF the
factions are friendly to him, Judge Ray
