WILL KILL THIS SPORT.
Additional Patroimen Put on in Chi
cago to Suppress New Game
of Bows.

Chicago, June 22-That the nerves of
timid women and children may not be
shattered, additional policemen have been
posted along Center avenue, in the neigh
borhood of Vernon Park, to suppress a
game of the boys of that section known
as stop Thief"
Last month boy was held up and rob
bed near Vernon Park, and since then
about 200 lads have nightly engaged in a
chase after imaginary footpads. Two
boys are selected to impersonate the high
waymen, and as they lead the way the
others follow in hot pursuit, spreading
wild alarms with their cries, and endan-
gering pedestrians, and even bicycIists.
The sport recently became SO realistic
that boys We're knocked down and
battered about the face, while in chase
after the supposed thugs. Lawns, flow
er beds and shrubbery were ruined by
mobs of pursuers.
Complaints to the police became SO nu-
merous that it was found necessary to
place the extra policemen on Center ave-
nue. to kill the sport.

EACH DIRECTION VIA
esTURN UP SOMETHING.
Was the Advice Given to the Young
Negroes Sunday Night by Rev.
G. ID Oldan

Rev. Mr.. OIden, pastor of the First
African Baptist church. dealt out to his
congregation Sunday night some prac-
teal facts, which will do the race good if
needed. Mr. Olden said the young ne
gros future depended mainly upon the
kind of home training he receives, if he
is taught honesty, politeness and indus
try his future will be prosperous and
happy. But if on the other hand, he is
allowed to grow up dishonest, impolite
and lazy, as many have been allowed
to do, his future will be dis
grace to himself and a nuisance to 9TH
ers.
Children are as a rule what their
homes make Them" he said, land like a
vine they grow as they are trained. The
salvation of the race is good homes.
Parents should teach their children to
work and not to think it a disgrace to
make d honest dollar. There are too
many today who are trying to live and
keep up with the styles, without work
This they find is impossible hence they
resort to stealing. We often hear as an
excuse for this. that our boys and girls
are not given an equal chance with white
boys and girls. The shops and factor
les may be closed against them, but the
public schools are not.
ILCIG IL nope LOT the race II parents
will begin to SOW good seed in their
hoes. am not a pessimist, but mark
what 1 say, unless something is done and
that very soon to stop our boys and girls
from going to the devil the race is doom
ed. And it doesn't require a sage to see
it,"
Mr.. Olden said if the negroes of Tope-
ka could be persuaded to give five cents
per week, they could maintain an indus
trial school for their young people with
out asking one cent from the good peo-
pie of the other race. But instead of
doing SO they are depending upon the
white people to do this work for them
which he said lis a shame and dis
grace"
And want to tell you" said he, "the
white people all over the country are
getting tired of encouraging laziness. If
the Stephens Industrial school depended
upon the coIored people of Topeka I ven
ture to say it would not exist one day
And yet that school is being maintained
by white people for negro children. We
can find money for excursions and other
things which are of no profit to US. but
we can't find a cent to help make our
young people good citizens. In the name
of common sense and self respect get
down to business, and stop looking for
something to turn up, but go and turn
up something for yourselves. And the
future of our race will be filed with good
citizenship"

AMONG RAILROAD MEN.
Trouble a Freight Rate War
Might Cause.
All the Roads Busy Watching
Each Other
For Fear a Panic in Rates May Start
Miscellaneous Railroad Items.

Freight rate wars in the past have al
ways been disastrous to the roads which
voluntarily entered into the fight or were
forced in by competing lines, but few
people outside of the freight men them
selves probably realize what a freight
rate war would mean to the western
roads at the present time.
If a freight rate war should start at
the present time" said Mr.. G. r. Hud-
son, assistant general freight agent of
the Santa Fe, today, lit would mean
roads. There is no known way of term
ina ting rate war but for the repreSen-
tatives of the different roads to meet
and adjust rates, and under the recent
decision of the United States supreme
court It is unlawful to hold a meeting.
AT least that is the Interpretation of
the decision at the present time. 1t may
be found later that the decision is not
quite so strict as it is now held to be,
and that an adjustment meeting would
not conflict with the law, but as it now
stands it would be unla wful for freight
representatives. to meet and adjust
rates. You can fancy from this cOndi-
ton what would be the result Of a rate
war.
The freight association was really a
good thing for the country" continued
Mr.. Hudson. "F1uctuations in rates is
what injuries the heavy shippers. What
shippers want is stability. High or low
IA ties never bother them so long as the
rates are maintained
But just at present the western
roads are in a precariOuS condition.
Each road has to take Independent ac-
ton, and every road has to watch it's
competitors. If rate war should be
precipitated it would mean bankruptcy,
ruin and absolute chaos. However, eve
ry road appreciates the situation and
nothing of the kind is at all probable

APPLE CROP SHORT.
Judge Wellhouse Says Apples Are

FAKE THE GOVERNMENT.
Peoples Taxes Wasted to Circulate
Three Daily Papers.

From the Lawrence Journal: 1t ap-
pears that the new fast mali from
Kansas City west is like the Pop rail-
road, it has no terminal at either end.
1t is to connect with nothing at Kan
sas City, and after running somewhere
out in the short grass country, it turns
around and comes back. 1t will carry
nothing in fact but the Kansas City
and Topeka morning papers. The train
starting out of Kansas City in the even
ing brings all the mail of the day, and
il is probable there will not be a dozen
letters mailed there between the time it
leaves and 3 O'Clock in the morning
when the fast train leaves. If the new
train would connect with eastern roads
and carry through mail, it would be of
great benefit to Kansas. AS it does not
it benefits no one save and except the
Kansas City Times, Journal, and the
Topeka Capital. 1t would cost the gov
eminent less to buy these three papers

NOT ENOUGH LOCOMOTIVES
To Haul the Freight Which is Going

are OYertaXed and can hardly handle
the business demanded of them. Fac
tories of all kinds are running at high
pressure, and their business is increas-
ing wonderfully. At Vera Cruz is locat-
ed one of the principal cigar factories.
It employed 700 men recently, so I
wouldn't be surprised if this number
reached 800 now. 1t cannot begin to ill

In the City of Mexico is a distillery
turning out 200 barrels of whisky daily,
with an increasing demand. The own

from TampicO fast enough to meet the
demand and that they had to buy wood
from the Indians to keep up.
