LOW RATES ARE OFF
SANTA F6 HAS ABOLISHED JOB
BERS RATES TO OKLAHOMA.

Prominent Merchant Said Last Evening
That the Santa Fe Had Abolished the
Okiaho ma and Indian Territory Rates
Because the Wichita Jobbers Had Been
Boycotting the Road on All Consien.
ments to This City-The Trouble Arose
Over the Sugar Rate Between Here and
New Orleans
Las spring the Santa Fe railroad made
rate Of 60 cents a hundred on sugar
from San Francisco to this city without
the solicitation Of the local jobbers. For
a time sugar was received from the
Golden Gate City and all seemed well
Inc Frisco railway made 35-cent rate
on sugar from New Orleans, and as a
consequence the Frisco road got about
ell Of the business. Within the past
week the Santa Fe road mas abolished
the jobbers' rates which nave existed for
the past few years between here and all
Okla nCma and Indian Territory points.
Mr.. Hoag Of the Frisco line was seen
yesterday and asked regarding the trou-
bic that now seems 10 exist between the
railroads and the Wichita j0bbers. He
said that the Frisco had given a 35-cent
rate on sugar flom New Orleans. When
asked if the Santa Fe mad abolished the
1obbers' rate in the Oklahoma country in
retaliation ne said that ne did not know.
Mr.. L. r. Delaney, agent for the Santa
Fe. was seen. and he said
that he did not know anything further
than that he had received notice from
those higher in authority saying that TIE
sobDers' rate had been abolished and
THAI the old rates were in order. He
said ne did net know the cause for the
change.
prominent merchant was seen who
seemed to be thoroughly posted on the
subject. He said: The jobbers ana
wholesale merchants of this city consid-
cred the Santa Fe the strongest road
that entered Wichita, and they thought
thar by boycotting the Santa Fe that
they would be able 70 to force the other
roads TO give them Missouri river rates
or their equivalent. In order TO bring
ne Santa F. to terms they have, when
ordering goods from any o.her city, ask
ed them % snip by any road entering
t.
strictly an goods That were consigned to
this city. As a consequence the Santa
Fe did scarcely any business with the
Wichita and eastern merchants All
goods that had 10 be sent 20 the south
and which could not be reached by any
other road than the Santa Fe were. Of
course, sent that way and the jobbers
got the benefit Of the jobbers' rate. AS
the wholesale men would not patronize
the road when they had any goods to
ship 50 Wichita and got the benefit Of
lower rates when shipping their products
into the territory which is controlled ex-
clusively by the Santa Fe line, they
have no doubt concluded that they are /
being Disseminated against unjustly /
and so nave retaIiated by putting the |

 \ Bright YittIe Prince.

Prince Oscar. the son of the empress of Germany, is very bright, cheerful little fellow just turned years of age. He is passionately fond of all things re- lating to seafaring matters, and if his present bent may be taken as an indica- tion of what he eventually may become it is very probable that he may repre- sent tho children of the German emper. or in the navy. He has a magnificent collection of river craft of all kinds, from rowing boat to man-o'war. The wealthy subjects of the emperor get to know all his children's likes and purchase for them most expensive toys, which they ask permission to present.
 Prince Osoar's collection of marine toys would be sufficient to stock a good sized toyshop, and they present very pretty sight when they arc all let loose on ore of tho lakes adjoining tho royal residence

When They Were Naugi.ty.

There were some queer re ,les of pun ishment for naughty Eifla and boys in our grandlnati y@ .s.y4 When stitches went awry |. l@.,crwork. the small fin gers were sinartly snapped with the sinevy foreflnger and thumb, the for mer capped with heavy thimble of huge dimensions. This was much more severe than the mere telling would im- ply, and tho young culprits soon learned to dread it. Another punishment for minor offenses WAS to tie the naughty chiid's pinafore over it's head and rap- ping the victim with stiff busk, Anatched out from tho bosom of her dress, evidently carried there for that purpose.

RestigonoIle Salmon.

4 novel question has been raised in Forest and Stream which is of interest to the fishermen who fish in artificia1ly stocked waters. For some reason of other a fisherman got tho notion that the salmon in the Restigouehe river were not so game now as in past years Another of the Restigouche fishers was of the same mind. If there is anything the sportsman angler does not want and will not have if he can help it, it is the deterioration of the fighting quail ties of his fish. He would like to have the fish go into training if possible.
 What the fishermen want to know is what is the matter with the Restigouche salmon? It appears that the stream has been stocked to considerable extent during late years, and if this stocking has taken the nerve out of the salmon every one who is interested in fish wants to know the reason why, and. more yet. the remedy. It is we'll known that the hand reared English pheasants are not to be compared with wild American ruffed grouse in any particular. If the artificial propagation of fishes is going to result in taking the fight out oi American game fish, it will be sad thing to the minds of men who fish fol fun, and not for profit.

Never Touched It.

Fill tiny tumbler with water and cover it with bowl. Then tell the company that you will drink tho water in the tumbier underneath without moving the bowl.
 Of course no ono will believe you, and you ask all to turn their backs or close their eyes, if they will promise not to look. until ono of the party counts ten. Immediately they have turned their eyes you pick up another glass of water and hastily swallow a few mouthfuls, They hear the sound, but no one can look until ten is counted. By that time tho glass from which you drank is hid den again and the company catches you wiping your moist lips. Undoubtedly one of the number will be so suspicious that he will lift the bowl to sec. and then is your opportunity, for you at once pick up the glass and drink, say- ing, as you put it down, eI didn't touch the bowl ''--Exchange

On "Looking Pleasant" "

Amiability and evenness of temper are among the most essential quali- ties of sane character. but no man need simper continually to demon strate his sweetness.
 Ruskin says that allgreat generals have been serious men, and Emerson affirms the same of all great orators. The distinguished Tom Marshall, one of the wittiest men who ever lived, bade his son observe that the public monuments are always erected to the solemn men; and Dr. Austin Phelps remarks: Two classes of men are never buffoons-very great men and very good men,
 It is generally safe to leave the ex- pression of ones face 10 take care of itself, and to dev0te ones efforts mainly to the formation of charaez ter. If man really busies himself with weighty affairs, reads tie funny papers only in moderation and as . sort of intellectual desert, avoids the journals which treat flip panty of public questions and great national and moral movements, and tries ineessantly to find truth and pursue il. he will usually have an ex- pression which matches his characters but the eminently social and kindly man, though he may be good at heart and not silly in mind, must be on his guard lest people despisc, not his youth, like Timothy's, but his whole mental and moral endow- ment. if he wears an habitual smile for the conclusion of the old poet voices the instinctive feeling of all man kind

Star Measurements.

In paper published in The Astro nomische Nachrichten Dr. See shows how, by very ready method, determi nation may be made of the absolute di mensions of the orbits of bright and rapidly revolving binary stars by single spectroscopie measures of the motions in the line of sight of the component stars, and from the dimensions and oth. CT known data of the orbits the actual masses of the stars and their distances from the earth can bo easily calculated. But perhaps the most important result claimed for this method is the means 1t furnishes of testing the question whether the Newtonian law of gravitation ap. plies to stellar systems as well as to the solar system. Dr. See shows the manner in which may be calculated the motion in the line of sight ill all parts of the binary orbit, these calculations being based upon the law of gravitation and a single spectroscopic measure. If such measures be continued upon number of pairs while the stars complete their revolutions, and the computed and ob- served motions in the line of sight agree throughout, within reasonable limits of error, it will be strong proof of the uni versatility of the Newtonian law.

Special to the Graphic:
 LITTLE RoeK, March 1.-The State Legislature adjourned at noon today, after a session of sixty days, which brought to a close the biggest farce that ever attracted public at tention at the State Capital, for not a single bill of any particular i'm portance was passed and the appro- priation bills which made provision for the conduct of the State Govern ment and charitable institutions and several important bills that had passed ono branch butnot the other, were allowed to die on the calendar This will neceasitate a call on the part of the Governor of an extra session, at an increased cost of mileage to the State, and thereby make this Legislature the most ex- pensive that has been held in the State aianc ao adoption of the pres ent Constitution.
 The Senate caucus to nominate a Lieutenant-Goyernor last night was a miserable fiasco, and resulted in no selection being made. This morn ing at II o'clock Senator Quarrels got the floor and held it until time of adjournment in order to prevent the Senate from electlng a President pro tenn. The failure of the Senate to select will result in President Moose holding the position until the expiration of his term in 1898.
 In the House this morning Repre- sentative Andrews held the floor from an early hour until the time of adjournment in a discussion of the : Worthen bill for the purhease of a county convict farm, and prevented the passage Of that measure.
 Just before the Senate adjourned Pres. Moose was presented with a handsome gold-headed cane as a testimonial of the respect and esteem of his fellow Senators.

NEED FOR SLEEP.
Fhe Most Important Compensation Po,
 All Effects Of Fatigue.

fha Af0Ht Important Compensation Foi
 All Effects Of Fatigue.
 By far the most important compensa. ton for all effects of fatigue is sleep. Everybody, oven the man mentally most inert develops when awake mass of mental effort which he cannot afford continuously without suffering. We need, therefore, regularly recurring pc riods in which the consumption of men tai force shall be slower than the con. tinuous replacement. The lower the de. gree to which the activity of the brain sinks the more rapid and moro com plete tho recovery.
 The mental yigor of most men is usu. ally maintained at certain height for the longest time i'll the forenoon. Evi- dence of fatigue come on later at this time of day than in the evening, when the store of force i'll our brain has been already considerably drawn upon by the whole day's work. If no recovery by <. sleep is enjoyed or it is imperfect. the consequences will invariably make themselves evident the next day in 3 depression of mental vigor, as we'll as i in arise in the personal susceptibility to fatigue. The rapidity with which one of the persons experimental upon could perform his task in addition sank abou a third after nights journey by rail way with insufficient sleep. Anothei experimenter could detect the effects of keeping himself awake at night in a gradual decrease of vigor lasting through four days. This observation was all the more surprising because the subject was not conscious of tle long duration of the disturbance and was first made aware of it incidentally by the results of contin- ned measurements on tho causes of the manifestations of fatigue.
