Kansas State Grange in Session

Carbondale, Dec. 17.-News has reach
ed here that H. Martindale junior
member of the firm of Miller & Mar
tindale of Scranton, had frozen to death
two miles south of Carbondale, Wed
nesday night.
In company with a commercial drum
mer, Mr.. Martindale drove from Scran-
ton to Overlook on Wednesdayspen
ing the day in the latter place.
Some time during the night they
started to make the drive back to
Scranton. Having reached a point
two miles south of this city, a laprobe,
which had fallen from the vehicle in
which they were riding. was missed.
Mr.. Martindale. in opposition to the
protestaions of his companion, alight-
ed from the carriage and started back
over the lonely country road in search
OF the missing article, Fred Bauch
holding the horse in the meantime.
Having waited for a considerab bic
length of time and the biting cold in
tensifying with each moment, the trav-
cling man turned the team and went
in pursuit of Mr.. Martindale.
The horses were urged back over the
road at a rapid gait, the driver hop
ing to Overtake his friend and persuade
him to give up the search, in order that
the journey homeward might be more
speedily completed.
Bauch, having reached a point at
which he thought he ought to overtake
Martindale, began shouting and hal
loing, but received no answer.
He strained his vision in every direc-
ton, endeavoring to catch a glimpse of
his companion, but Mr.. Martindale had
disappeared.
Becoming thoroughly frightened at
the turn affairs had taken, the COM
mercial man drove up to the nearest
farm house and gave the alarm. In a
short space of time the whole neigh
borhood had turned out in search of
the missing man. At 2 a. m, Thurs
day, the body of Mr.. Martinda1e was
found by the roadside a short distance
from where he had left the carriage to

FAYORS POOLING.
National Board Of Trade Pass Reso-
buttons and Adjourn.


Washington, Dee 1.-THE National
board of trade has adjourned, after a
three days session. The most import
ant action of yesterdays session, was
the endorsement of pooling measure
which would place this question under
the supervision of the United States
commerce commission There was
strong sectional division of the qUes-
tion, the east for and the west against
the measure.
Mr.. Thurber of New York. presented
a report on railroad transpOrtat4 on
and kindred subjects which contained
the following:
THAT the National board of trade
advocates legislation by congress to
amend the interstate commerce law so
as to permit pooling by railroads under
the supervision and control OF the in
teTstate commerce commission to the
end that unjust Determinations may be
prevented and reasonable uniform ana
stable rates be established"
A minority report on this resolu-
tion was presented by Mr.. Vail and Mr.
1ngham of St. Louis on behalf of the
southern members Of the committee
strongly opposing the pooling PROPOSE
tiOn.
The resolution was finally adopted by
a tWO-thirds vote
The remaining resolutions of Mr.
Thurber were adopted as follows: '-Tha.
a start towards justice in transporta-
TIon rates greater uniformity in the
classification of freight is necessary
and should the railroad companies fan
TO formulate and put into effect a uni
form classification of freight within
reasonable time that the interstate
commission should be empowered to
formulate and make effective such
specification
The resolution deprecates all move
ments looking to government owner
ship of railroads, reaffirms approval of
the anti-scalper bill, now pending in
congress and says;
That as the decisions of the United
states supreme court have so Wea kened
the power of the interstate commerce
commission to perform the duties orig
inaIly outlined for it, we petition con
gress to so amend the interstate COM
nerce law as to clothe the commission
with power to carry out the original
intentions of the act''
The board by invitation made a call
on President Mckinley.

EMPoR1A DoEsN'ToBJEor.
Business Men Say Let the Excursion
to Topeka Run.

Emporia, Dec. 17.-At a meeting of
business men held here yesterday the
Topeka merchants excursion train
from Emporia was a subject of discus
sion Some expressed the idea that
the excursion was calculated to do
great injustice to the merchants of
Emporia, Usage City and other inter-
mediate points, and advised that a pro
test be sent in to the officials of the
Santa Fe company.
After a thorough discussion, however,
the members of the Commercial club
decided that it would be neither good
policy, nor good sense to take any ac-
ton in the matter, as, in the language
of one OF the members, 1T was only
human to purchase where one could do
so to the best advantage and if the cit
izens of Emporia could obtain better
goods for the same amount of money,
or the same goods for a less amount of
money, at the state capital as they
could at home, then it was time that
Enporia merchants should look into
the matter and meet Topeka cOmpet-
ton with Topeka goods and Topeka
prices" Several EmpOria merchants
claim that in their lines of goods prices
compare favorably with those at the
capital city, and that they have no OBJ
lection to the excursions.
