TEXAS RATE WAR.
Liable to Break Out in Packing House
Tariffs.

Kansas City, Nov. S.-''Texas rates
will go to pieces in a few days." said
the traffic official of a prominent west
ern line yesterday. Secret cuts have
been made by some of the lines for
weeks, and we have decided to met
them by open reductions The author
lied rate on packing house products
from Kansas City to Texas points is 50
cents. A 40 cent rate will be put in
within a few days. AS the Texas rail-
road commission always insists upon a
reduction in interior rates, when a rate
from the outside is shrunk, that means
the overturning of all tariffs in pack
ing house products in Texas"
While this official would not say
which were the lines that had been
making the secret cuts, the statements
of shipments from Kansas City to Tex
as points during the month of October
plainly indicate that Following is
shown the number of cars carried by
each of the competing roads for three

Leavenworth, Nov. S.-An important

An old source Of complaint has been

Seventeen saloons are selling liquor

is a tempting prize to these jointkeep-
ers and from pay day until the last
dollar is gathered in there is active
rivalry between these dens of wicked

The order contemplated is one that
will make it a grave offense for the in
mates of the home to patTOnize these
