"Such great sacrifices as this has the

FORT SCoTT, Kan, Oct. 5. - The
heaviest liquor fines ever imposed at
one time in Kansas were assessed
against liquor men yesterday, when
Judge Simons fined u men S4,O5O.
Some of the defendants were managers
of the leading hotels of the city. All
had pleaded guilty of violating the
law and each was fined from $3.50 to
$500. One father and son were fined
$1,000 and will pay a sl50 fine for an
emplOye. The court created a surprise
by requiring each defendant to
give in addition to the fine a bond
of from $500 to $500 to guarantee
his good behavior for 90 months.
Their attorneys have filed notice of APP
peal on the ground that the good be-
haViOr bond law cannot be applied to
the sale of liquor. This question has
never been in the supreme court. Be-

Eith Terrible Loss Of Life

tiooGs In China Destroy Many villages
Eith Terrible Loss Of Life.
TACoAA. Wash, Oct. 5.-The steamer
Victoria brings news Of the most dis
astrous floods that have visited China
for many years. Sixty villages near
Tung Chou, containing over SO, 900 in
habitants, have been destroyed BY
floods and the people drowned or
forced TO fee. There is no means of
finding out how many thousands have
been drowned, but the number is esti-
mated by Chinese authorities at Il, 900
to 20, 900
The flooded district is within p miles
of Pekin, the capital of China. As a
rule Chinese officials make very little
stir when calamity like this happens,
but the proximity of the disaster has
resulted in its being brought to the
attention Of the emperor, who has or
dered that ali possible relief be given.
Survivors from the villages near
Pekin have been allowed such shelter
as they can find in the city walls, but
thousands are without protection
against the rain, which continues to
fall The distress of these people is
most pitiable.

THE STATE WAS
Kansas City Stock Yards Case pesldsd
by Federal Judge Foster.
Fhe Corporation HELD 90 Sc subisst 70
State COBtroi-Judge FOsssF says the
New Schedule Is Reasonable aud
Rates Must BE Enforced.

TOPEKA, Kan. Oct 5,-After the most
bitterly contested legal battle Kansas
has ever known. the stock yards case
was settled yesterday. Judge Cassius
G. Foster, in the federal court, ruled
that the big corporation ct the KaW's
mouth must obey the law passed By
the last legislature, making radical re-
duetions in the charges for handling
live stock. In e. clear and vigorous
opinion Judge Foster 0verrules every
principal contention advanced by the
plaintiff. BE declares that the new
law was legally passed by the legisla-
ture; that the charges fixed by it would
enable the company to earn a reasona-
bic return on the capital invested, and
that the business of the stock yards
company was not interstate commerce.
These were the three principal points
involved in the case. Attorneys for
the stock yards company have signi-
fed their intention Of appealing the
case.
Cost Falls on the Company.
Mr. Getting, as viii appear from the
title OF the case, asked for the iniunc-
ton, and Mr. Boyle and the stock
yards company were made defendants.
While this was the case the stock yards
company was in reality the plaintiff
and Mr.. Boyle the defendant Mr..
Getting, being a stoekholder and a
nonresident of the state, was used
simply by the company in order to get
the case into the United States court
The attorneys Cor the stock yards COM
pany, instead Of assisting Mr. Boyle as
cO-defendant, aided aud assisted the
attorneys for Mr Getting, and the
stock yards company viii not only pay
those attorneys, but must pay the costs
that have accrued in the case.
The Restraining Order.
Judge Fosterread the decision slowly,
and whenever he got through with the
stronger points he looked over bis
spectacles by way of emphasis at the
particular attorney whom he thought
it would most interest At the conclu-
sion Judge Horton arose and gave no
tice of an appeal He also asked Judge
Foster to grant bond to continue the
restraining order pending further liti-
Cation. Judge Foster declined on the
suggestion Of Mr.. Boyle and clearly
stated his reasons for doing so The
question of practice then arose, and in
order to dispose Of that he promised
until Saturday, at which time The
question Of practice viii come up for
hearing
Case VIII BE Appealed.
The attorneys for Mr.. Getting viii
take the case on appeal to the circuit
court of appeals and will probably ask
Judge Sanborn to continue the re-
straining order in effect until a de-
cision is reached If this is the case
Mr. Boyle will ask Judge Sanborn to
require the stock yards company 10
make a bond in the sum Of at least
$500, 0O0 protecting the patrons of the
stock yards from overcharges that may
be made pending the final decision Of
the case.
