Santa Fe Grain Rates Cut Down

Lyons, Kan, Aug. 1.-THE hearing
of the Santa Fe rate case before the
state board Of railroad commissioners
here today resulted in an agreed re-
duction by the railroad company Of
one cent per hundred on grain and
five cents per hundred on implements,
from all Missouri river points.
The complaint was made by E. NJ.
Black, trustee OF Atlanta township,
Rice county, who is backed by an as.
ISOLATION Of business men in Lyons
and Sterling. Mr.. Black charged
that the freight rates in and out OF
Lyons and Sterling were all out Of
just proportion to rates for Marion,
Newton, Great Bend and Hutchinson.
Sam Jones Of Lyons, assisted by ]. W.
BrlnkerhOff, conducted the hearing
for the plaintiff. General Solicitor
McKenna and Vice President Morton
Of the Santa Fe, were present and as
soon as evidence for the plaintiff was
in Mr.. McKenna asked for a recess.
After an hours conference, the Santa
Fe officials agreed to the reduction,
which is to be effective after Septem.

offered by the railroad men.

judges. The supreme court clerk
could attend to all the business Of his
court with the increased membership
without any additional expense. This
would relieve six appellate court
clerks, their deputies and all other ex-
penses connected Herewith. 1t can
readily be seen that this would be a
great saving to the people.
"As TO another proposition that
should be considered in this cOnnec-

vast number Of cases being appealed
from the appellate courts. How
much better would it be for cases to
come direct to the supreme court

hearing procured. With seven jas
tices on the bench, the docket could
be kept in such shape that final de-
cision from the court of last resort
could be obtained three months after
it was appealed. That would beat
leaving it here for from eighteen
months to four years. Delays are al.
ways welcomed by big corporations,
but they are hard on the common

A Big Demand for Text Books

Topeka, Kas., Aug. LIT will
take twenty carloads OF books, perhaps
twenty-five, to supply the demand for
school books in Kansas this fall"
said j. +, Afford, general agent for
the Scott, FOreSman company OF Chi
Cage.
tine orders we get are surprising,
and show that school book publishers
underestimated the capacity Of Kan
Sas to use school books. Oar uthce

here in day or two, and since tile
first OF this week We have shipped

will take between l50, 900 and 100000
spelling books to supply the demand
and the estimate that | gave Crane
is that 70, 900 each of First, Second
and third readers will be needed.
There will be 10000 elementary arith-
meticS sold ia Kansas this fall and an
equal number Of high grade arithme-
tics by winter. There Is a carload Of
copy books on the way now and an
other carload will be needed. The
Central School Supply house OF Chica-

them.

1.-THE work on physical geography
is the same as is sold in Kansas City
for $3.50. 1t is sold in Kansas for
eighty cents.
But there are great many places
that are not using the new books on

There has been a controversy be-

solntely dangerous to use outward applica-
fions, for if the skin alone is cleared, the
real disease is likely to attack some internal
organ of the body, where it may prove fatal
20 life itself.
In the majority of cases these unsightly
skin diseases are due to two things weak.
ness and disorders of the distinctly femi-
nine organism, and impurities of the blood
caused by them. The woman who suffers
from disease in womanly way will soon
suffer in her general health. Her stomach,
liver and other organs will fail to perform
their proper functions, with the result that
the blood becomes impure. Left to her
self, she will probably resort to cosmetics
and ointments. If she consults physician
he will tell her that the stomach or liver
only is at fault. Her distinctly womanly
ailment is really the first and only cause.
For this she should resort at once to Dr..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t acts d.
rectly and only on the delicate and important
organs concerned. 1t makes them strong
and well. Then a course Of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery will purify and
enrich the blood, and make her a new wo-
man. Medicine dealers sell both remedies.

The Southsrn Cotton Mills Can Trace Their
Prosperity 10 that Source.

Charlotte. N. c., Dec. 2.-The only ex-
clusively textile newspaper. representing
the several hundred cotton mills and kim
dred manufactures in the South, in its
last weekly issue in the course of an edi-
torial on Protection. says:
Were it not for the passage of the
Dingley tariff bill. now in operation. the
cotton manufacturers of the South would
not be meeting with that splendid degree
of success which now characterizes tho
operation of their Mills almost without
single exception. but would, on the con-
rrary. be doing small and Improbable
business. such as was exhibited by their
curtailed operations just previous to the
time when Mr. Dingiey's law went into
effect. The Dingley law enabled
the manufacturers of carpets, union
cloths and shoddies in the North to start
up their looms and compete with old
England and other countries. ; The
Northern manufacturers referred to are
the largest and best customers of the
yarn manufacturers of the Southern
states. The North buys our cotton yarns
for warps. and the South wants their or
ders to spin them etc.
The conversion of the owners of the 200
and more cotton mills to the cause of
protection" means a change OF perhaps
q, 900 votes in North Carolina alone Their
operatives go with them. Mr.. Bryan's
fusion" Populist and Democratic) plu-
ralty in North Carolina last year was
only 1000, while the Republican guber-
material candidate. in a threehanded
fight, was elected by over 10000 plurality
North Carolina would thus seem to be
pretty sure to go Republican at the next
general election.
