UNDER ANTITRUST LAW.
Suit Will be Entered Against the
Live Stock Exchange of Kansas
CitY

Washington, June 5.-The attorney
general has directed suit to be brought
against the Traders MISUNDERSTANDING
of Kansas City, Mo, under the act of
congress, of July 21, 1890, known as the
antitrust law. 1t is represented that
number of traders or spectators IN
livestock having associated themselves
together as the Traders Livestock ex-
change prohibit all other persons from
trading at the yards.
The suit will allege: "They (the Trad
ers' Exchange) have bOycotted the com
mission firm that have dared to sell
stock to any traders in the yard who do
not belong to their association and have
punished by fine some of their own
members for daring to trade with firms
of commission merchants who had sold
to persons who were not members OF
their own association.
The bill of complaint, which is order
ed to be filed in the circuit court of the
United States and in the name of the
United States against J. c. Anderson
and about $50 others, asks that the de-
PENDANTS be restrained from enforcing
the aims, objects and purposes of the
Traders Livestock exchange; also from
imposing any fine or penalty upon any
of their members for trading with any
person at the Kansas City stock yards;
also from discriminating in any man
ner against any person who is not
member of the traders exchange solely
because of such nom embership; also
from refusing by concerted action, to
tering into any contract, com bination or
conspiracy limiting the right of any
person in the Kansas City stock yards
to freely deal in livestock therein.

WEED BURNER SUCCESSFUL.
Santa Fe Pleased With the Invention
of Machinist Hancock.

The Hancock weed burner, invented
by Mr.. George Hancock, assistant su-
perintendent of machinery of the San
ia Fe, and placed in operation on the
Santa Fe line for the first time last
week, is proving a great success. Mr..
Avery Turner, assistant general super
intendent who returned to this city
last night after a weeks trip of in
spectiOn over the Santa Fe lines in
Kansas, had the following to say about
the new machine:
I'VE find that the new weed burner
can be operated at One-half what it
would cost to cut weeds, and unlike the
cutting process, it effectuaIIy kills the
plants. It's just like an inverted brick
oven into which the crude oil is spray
ed. The heat produced is terrific and
kills the weeds by instantly turning the
sap into steam and exploding the plant
at the roots. Between 25 and 30 miles
of road can be burned in day"
1t is probable that several of the
machines will be built at once for use
on the Santa F'e lines. The machine is
proving such a. success that it is not
improbable that it will be adopted by
other roads, and Mr. Hancock may
wake up some morning and find him
self growing wealthy from his inven-
ton.

WHAT NICHOLAS SAID.
Text of the Letter Which Brought the
Sultan Around.

Constantinople,J June 5.-The following
is the text of the telegram sent by the
Emperor Nicholas to the Sultan on May
II, after the fall of DOmokOS:
your Majesty will not be surprised if
our relations of sincere friendship and
neighbOrly feeling induce me to appeal
to your nOblest sentiments and inspire
me with the firm hope that you will not
fail to crown the success achieved by
your valued armies in heroic struggle
by faithful adherence to the moderate
and pacific intentions which your maj
esty proclaimed at the beginning of the
war.
by concluding an armistice and by
favorable reception of the mediation of
the powers your majesty would acquire
fresh title to the high esteem you
now enjoy and would accomplish an act
of profound wisdom, an act which I
personally should always retain in re-
membrance.
Il beg your majesty to believe in my
unchanged friendship.
(Signed) NICHOLAS"

FELL TEN FEET ON STONES.
Serious Injury to a Rock Island
Bridge Laborer.

Aaron b Charlesworth, a stonemason
who resides at 1920 Harrison street and
is in the employ of the Rock Island
bridge department, had a narrow es-
cape from death while working on
bridge at Keats, Kan, yesterday.
CharleswOrth is now at the Santa Fe
hospital and it is feared that he is SER
iously injured internally.
Charlesworth was wheeling a wheel
barrow filed with heavy rock up an in
cline to a bridge abuttment, and when
at q. height of ten feet from the ground
the plank on which he was walking
turned, pitching both the man and the
loaded WheelbarrOW off the side. The
ground underneath the incline was COW
cred with broken rock, and on this rock
CharleSWOrth struck on his back, sever
al stones from the wheelbarrOw striking
him on the right side as he fell. The
loaded WheelbarrOW struck not a foot
away from the StOnemasOn'S head.
CharleswOrth was unable to ride after
the accident and had to be carried to
the house of the nearest physician. He
was afterward removed to his home in
this city and was placed in the hospital
this morning. Several of the ribs of his
right side were fractured, and his pain
is so intense that it is believed he is in
iured internally

His coat of mail would probably even

SURGEONS ASSOCIATION.
Chief Surgeon Kaster of the Santa Fe
Has q New Schame

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway is to have an association of
railway surgeons, something that only
two other railroads in the United States
has connected with them
DR.. J. P. KaSter, chief surgeon of the
Santa Fe, has issued a call for all of
the surgeons in the employ of the road
to meet at the hospital in this city next
Wednesday morning to perfect an or
ganizatiOn of Santa EFF surgeons. There
are 170 surgeons connected with the
Santa Fe along the line from Chicago
to Purcell, Ell PasO, Denver and AIbu-
QuerQue, and nearly the entire number
will probably attend the initial meeting
in this city.
Officers will be elected Wednesday.
and the new association will meet in
Topeka either Semi-annually or annual
ly. The idea of having an association
of Santa Fe surgeons is original with
DR.. Kaster, and it VII probably result
in a more uniform method of surgical
treatment in cases of injury among
the members Of the hospital associa-
ton.

HOBOS INVADE TACOMA.
Driven From Montana by Vigilantes
They are Working Their Way
to California.

Tacoma, June 5.-The local police
force has its hands full gathering in
the hobos and rough characters who
are swarming into the ely; % have
been placed in the city Jail since Fri
day, having been arrested as soon as
they arrived at the Northern Pacific
depot.
They are part of a detachment of 300
or more who were recently rounded up
and driven out of Butte, Mont, by a
vigilance committee composed Of exas-
perated citizens who did not propose to
tolerate their presence any longer.
They commenced working their way
westward along the Northern Pacific.
In Spokane the police gave them so
many hours in which to get out of the
town. Trainmen report that the entire
gang is scattered along the line, work
ing its way in squads and bent on
reaching California. The Tacoma jail
is a ramshackle structure, incapable of
accommodating more guests, and the
police will adopt the Spokane eXpedi-
ent and start the hObos toward the
sunny fields of California.

WORK FOR BRISTOW.
Mckinley Will Change His Policy
Regarding Postmasters.

Washington, June 5-The rule an
nOunced that the pOstmasterS would be
allowed to serve out their full terms un-
less removed for cause has been modi-
fed and it is expected that wholesale
appointments will be made soon. 1t is
officially announced that the president
and the postmaster general will cOnsid-
er as having expired all postofice COM
missions which are due to expire be-
tween now and July 10. It is under
stood that the matter was discussed
and the decision reached at yesterdays
cabinet meeting.
The reason assigned for the modifca-
ton of the announced policy of the ad-
ministration is the desire of the presi-
dent to fill as many offices as possible
before the expiration of the fiscal year,
July first in order that accounts may
begin with a new quarter.

In most instances colds are the result of
imprudence or a lack of forethought. Even
in cases where a sudden change IN the
weather or an unavoidable exposure is re-
sponsible for the first slight cold, fresh and
more severe colds may be avoided by OBJ
serving little care. But g a mere cold /" is
such q common thing and causes so little
inconvenience that notwithstanding all pre-
vious experiences we neglect to take the
most simple precautions, in the way of
wearing suitable clothing, the avoidance Of
draughts, etc.
One should always bear in mind the
necessity of exercising a constant vigilance
to avoid catching cold When the tempera-
ture in the house is higher than that out of
doors, never go out without putting on an
additional wrap. Never sit in a cold room
even though you do not feel chilly. And it
is better to suffer a little discomfort from
wearing heavy underclothing than to run
the risk of chill
The following letter from a lady in Sicily
Island, La, graphically illustrates the dis
tressing consequences that are liable to fol-
low simple cold.
"In February, 1896, had a severe cold
which settled on my lungs resulting in q
serious cough. My appetite failed, and 1
became so weak that I was scarcely able to
walk across the room. / weighed only

BETTER KEEP CANOVAS.
That is the Advice Given the Queen
Regent of Spain.

Madrid, June 4.-The queen regent
conferred last evening with the pres
ident of the senate, the Marquis Paso
de La Merrzed. The latter, after the
conference, said that he had pointed
out to her majesty that the contin-
uance in office of Senor Canovas del
Castillo would constitute the best solu-
tiOn of the crisis.
This opinion is shared by the presf-
dent of the chamber of deputies, Senor
A. Pidal, who is to have a conference
with the queen regent today
Marshal Martinez de Campos is on
his way to Madrid, but as he is not
identified with any party, he is not
concerned in the crisis from a political
standpoint and will give his attention
to other questions, especially to that
relating to the Cuban situation.

To Run a Line From N. M. to Globe,
Arizona

Phoenix, Ariz., June 5.-Surveyors
are at work surveying a route for a
railroad from Deming, n. M, to Globe,
