WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE National
Freight Commissioners Association held
meeting at the Shoreham today. The
following temporary officers were elected:
w. p. Trickett, Kansas City, secretary,

man. These elections will probably be
made permanent tomorrow. The dis
cussion this afternoon was only prelimin-
ary, and no action was taken. The mat
tiers under alvisement were the Rail
way Pooling bill freight classification
and the Endorsement of the Anti-Scalp-
ing bill. On this latter question the MS
sociation is practically Il unit, but as to
the advisability OF a pooling bill there is
tie same sectional division as was shown

almost solidly against the measure and

After a little social mingIing, the meet

express themselves. While different
Ones took up different phases of the
matter, they with one accord expressed
themselves as being not only favOrably
impressed with the institution but
strongly with the needs of it.
Senator Armstrong has introduced a
bill providing for an appropriation of
$l80,00O for expenses and improve
ments much after the plan of the re
concentrations of thebOard0f managers
in their annual report. From appear
ances the committee will recommend
the adoption of this bill. 1t may be
cut after going to the house, but there
is no doubt that a liberal appropriation
will be made.
Senator Armstrong has bill also
providing for tie amalgsmatiOn of the
Board of Pardons, the Penltentiary
board and the Reformatory board. This
will reduce expenses and will not re-
duce the efficiency. The board that
has the experimenting of the institu-
ton is surely better able to pass upon
applications for pardons than anyone

| In M0huHy Kansas Olty JOuTDSl
was contained a list of appointments
and removals of pOstmasters in Kansas
and among them was tie name Of post
Master. Meade of this city.
The new appoiDtee is Mrs. Nettie
Wilcox Beard, daughter of Il. +. Will
cox who was once postmaster. Her
husband was great and mighty DEM
ocrat in his time with friends among
those that are now Cleveland demo.
Gratis and causing these removals for
political reasons. There being 70 gold
democrats in this citv the best they
could do was to appoint the widow of
one who might have been, had the Al
mighty permitted.
However we are informed that Mrs.
Beard is a very estimable lady who
was raised in this city from youth and
has has had some experience In post
Office work. But her father is repub-
llcan. The republican politicians have
been hot on the track of Mr.. Meade,
hoping to secure his removal about the
time McKiuly comes in and then get a
republican appointed for four years,
but the job has been over done perhaps
They dug pit and fell in it For if
Mrs. Beard is confirmed it will keep
the republican politicians who have
got their mouths all puckered for the
plumbs, in a decidedly puckered state
for long time. They are trying to
prevent confirmation and Mr.. Mead's
friends also are trying to do the same
hoping to enable him to hold it little
longer, so that unless some compromise
is made it looks as though the new mis-
tress might not be confirmed.
We are very sorry to see Mr.. Mead
removed for we are informed that he
and his boys have mOrtgaged their
homes and almost every thing to make
up the shortage in the post OffiCe rather
than allow it to fall upon their Credi-
tors. He has host of friends who pc
lieve it is a case of political persecution
by cabal of republicans and gold dem.
Ocrats. The latter get after him be-
cause he did not ally himself with
them and the republicans because he
had place they wanted. So their
charges helped the democrats who now
bid fair to get the plumb.
AS to what is to be done after Mr..
Mead is out, the populists and demo
Gratis care little so they get some one
that will give a good administration
but would prefer Mrs. Beard who is
only semi-political to republican Nc
Klnley henchmau.
The later reports seem to indicate a
doubt as to the facts as herein setfOrth
1t appears that Mrs. Boards name has
not yet been sent to the Senate, and
some think the reports in the Journal
and other papers have no further force
than rumor. An inspector has been
here for day or two but it is under
stood that he is investigating some
charges against some of the repu blican
carriers.

For COnceAlIng nOFIgRged Property
Mr.. W. T. Bum, who so thriftily
managed the merry. gO-rOund" last
summer, fell into the tolls of thu pat
ent medicine man some time in the
fall and bought some kind of medl-
cine Ortft of one DIR. Higgins of Burl-
ington, Kansas, He gave a mortgage
of $3.50 for the same on not only his
merry-gO round but his blacksmith
shop.
The indebtedness not being paid,
Constable Hodge went after the mort
gagged property, and found it had gone
the way of profits Il most business en-
terprises under gold standard. Mr.
Hodge, Sheriff Patten and Bob Jones
instituted search but 1t was almost as
hard to find as the man who talked so
loud and Justify few months ago
about Mckinley prosperity.
1t was finally fished up IN various
parts of town and the country, badly
separated, but the little steam engine
and the steam organ are still able tn
sing their sad song to all the sleepless
families for a dozen blocks around
Some of the trappings were found four
or five miles west Of town, some were
located in a room next the salvation
army and perhaps some of the trinkets
have gone to join the republican ma
jorities in Kansas.

plices now solilOquize in durance

The Farme. 3 InstItute.

The Central Kansas Farmers In
stitute, met in this city last
Thursday and Friday, and many N
teresting discussions brought out many
interesting facts. AT Thursday nights
meeting The Dairy" was the subject
discussed and it was remarkable what
progress was shown to have been made
in this department of agriculture in
this section of the country. Messrs.
Parker of the creamery at this place,
and Huxtable, the manager, made
speeches which made considerable i'm
preston on the listeners. The latter
gentleman SAID that Iowa sold over
$40, 0O0, 600 worth of butter last year
and Kansas can do better if she gets at
it MIR. Parker says he has paid out
over 5000 900 for cream during the last
year and yet has demand for more
butter than he can make. Prot Ha-
worth of the State University, was the
substitute for Prof Snow who was UNI
able to come. Prof. Haworth made a
geographical survey of the State and
was therefore we'll prepared to speak
authoritatiVely on the irrigation. He
said while we have less rainfall here
than in the eastern part of the state,
we have a better supply from below and
through it amply sufficient for gardens
truck patches and orchards. though it
would not pay to raise any of the staple
crops by it.
G. w. Peckham of Haven, talked Of
his experience in subsoiling and gave
Illustrations. He thinks lie has de-
monstrated that it pays.
Prof. Nichols of the State Agreul-
tural school talked about tightening
rods. He favored the rods but not the
agents. Said every farmer should put
up his own rod.
E. Rayrs paper on fruit growing
BROUGHT out quite a discussion by
Messrs. A. NJ. Switzer, Zeno Tharp,
VIM. Newlin, p. G. Branch, W. j,
