AN EXPENSIVE MEASURE.
state Senator Fred A. Stocks Snys
the Anti-DockaEe Lnw VIII
Cost Kansas SlO0OOO,

State Senator Fred A. Stocks. of Blue
Rapids, spent yesterday in the city, look
ing after some business matters and went
up to Trenton last night, where he will be
engaged a few days.
Mr.. Stocks reports Kansas crop prospects
all right and business improving. The rank
and file PopuIists he finds heartily ashamed
of their representatives in certain legisa
tive matters. The recent expose only made
more positive what came out during the
as it reached the public. The investigation
might result in general good to the state.
Mr.. Stocks, being in the live stock buSl-
ness and a heavy shipper. expressed the
belief that the anti-dockage law would re-
suit in the loss of 100000 to the state of
Kansas, and other sections would be in
jured correspondence. This law should
never have been passed and ought to be
repealed. The legislation reducing charges
at the stock yards was all right. and 1t
was very gratifying to the people of the
state to see the law had been upheld by the
rates were accepted by the Stock Yards
Company the better il would be for Kan
sas City and in time better for the Stock
Yards Company.
State Senator W. II. Ryan. of Brazilton
Crawford county. kas., spent yesterday in
the city purchasing goods for his general
store. BY way of defending himself against
the fact that certain other members of the
Kansas legislature had shown evidences of
business and prosperity since the close of
is no higher now than it was before the
session and he is doing business on the
same scale.
Mr.. Ryan has the opinion that the stock
yards legislation will prove beneficial to
Kansas City and TO the shippers. As to the
anti-dockage law, he was not so certain.

TOM ANDERSON STILL FIGHTING
Has Not Given Up Hope of Defeating
Cy Leland for the Pension
Agency.

Chanute Kas., April 2l.-tSpecial) Polit-
ically speaking, this is what might be
termed Major Tom Anderson day at the
state encampment. The major has been in
the thick of it all day. The report sent out
from Washington that Cy Leland was about
to capture the pension agency. which An
derson is after, has resulted in the latter
fortifying himself even stronger with in
dorsements. 1t will be hot contest, and
the major says that if he loses he will have
the pleasure of knowing that he was the
favorite candidate of the Kansas eX-sol-
diers. anyway. The delegates to the state
encampment have lined up solidly for him.
To-day they all signed a petition strongly
urging the president to name him. 1t will
be forwarded TO Senator Baker with a re-
quest that he also indorse it. 1t seems that
Senator Baker some time ago said he would
let the old soldiers say whom they wanted
for pension agent, and that he would be
guided by their wishes entirely. Having
in mind this promise, the soldiers from all
over the state indorsed Major Anderson,
and the delegates to the encampment add
their Endorsement. The major could not
be indorsed officially at the meeting, as
that is in violation of the constitution of
the order. but the delegates did the next
best thing.

RIVER IS STILL FALLING.
Observer .COnnOr Says 1t Will Con-
tinue to Recede for Several Dnys.

At 6 o'clock last evening the gauge at
the Hannibal bridge showed that the river
had fallen just one foot from the highest
mark reached. and stood at 2l.S. The pros
poets. so Mr.. Connor said, were for con-
tinual fall for several days. and it might
fall several feet In that time.
The south wind yesterday gave life to
the current in the Kaw that came with
the flowing out of the river. The back wa
ter ran down very much, and the people
of Armourdale now feel certain they will
have no trouble with the surplus water.
Since the river has been at n high stage
there have been clogged sewers all over the
West bottoms and as n result q number of
the cellars in business houses have been
wet. Pumps have been used in Il number
of places, and so far little actual damage
has been done. although the firms have
been inconvenienced. The cellar in the fertil-
izer department of SchwarZschild & Sulz-
berger Packing Company was overflowed.
but was at once pumped out and has not
reiilled again.
The river has backed up around Harlem
and caused much trouble and damage
there! The strong south wind yesterday
caused the waves to run high and pound
away with wasting effect on the sandy

POLICE BOARD TROUBLES.
Factions mt Leavenworth and Mt
Wichita CIamOring for Changes
i'm the boards.

Topeka, Kas April 2l.-(Specialo There
is war on in the Populst party. 1t is not
over the tangle into which the committee
of investigation has gotten itself, although
that is partially responsible for the war,
and is bad enough in itself, without the
new trouble, which grows out OF the police
commissions.
The same old trouble up at Leavenworth
has broken out anew. The Populists con-
slider that the Democrats have the best of
the fusion deal, so far as politics of local
nature are concerned, and desire to even
things up. 1t appears that their grievance
comes principally from the fact that the
Democrats have majority upon the COM
mission. and are in n position to dictate
local politics. What the Populists want is
the removal of one. at least. of these DEM
ocrats and the substitution of Simon
pure Populist. This would throw control of
local politics into their hands, and they
then could play their own kind of a game
In Wichita, there are all kinds of trouble
between the 'Lewellings" and the ''antIs."
The ''antis'' are in the saddle. and the
"Lewelings' desire change. Their 1ela-
tions were none too peaceful before War
den Harry Lands. of the penitentiary, and
Senator Titus made their charges against
Leweling before the committee of inves-
tiration and now affairs are much worse
tangled. Sheriff Rufe Cone. of Sedgwick
county, is an aspiring politician, who would
like 10 he boss. He is next friend to Lew
cling, whose assistant manager he Is. So
Cone has opened up. warfare against the
"antis.' who control the Wichita police
commission. and is laboring for their re-
moval. The fight will be long and bitter.
for both factions are strong, and indispcsed
to yield an inch.
The governor will not take hand n the
game until the situation demands 1t. He
holds ii merely n factional quarrel, nut il
he sees chance for compromise. he Will
step in. In the meantime, he will stand by
his appointees. the present members of the
commission. 1t is merely another phase
of the troubles which have been an un-
necessary source of worry for more than
one governor of Kansas. caused by the
METROPOLITAN police system.
