CLARKSON GOES SLOWLY.
Will Say Little About Insuran cs
Rates Until He is Through
With the Courts.

Mayor Donald of Atchison came to
Topeka a few days ago and asked FIar-
rison Clarkson if he could not reduce
the rate of insurance at Atchison from
10 cents to 65 cents. Mr.. ClarksOn told
Mr.. Donald that until the courts rolled
by he would be compelled to proceed
very cautiously with reference to rates.
ClarksOn stated that the rates would
be lowered if he was successful in the
court against me- This statement was
made by Webb McNaH today. He con-
tinued: MIR. ClarksOn is making an
effort to secure the sympathies of the
people of Kansas by declaring that he
will reduce insurance rates.
II want to say that if I discover any
insurance company using these Clark
son rates that it will be forthwith de
prived of the opportunity of doing bus
mess in Kansas"

Went Over the Range.

Officer Purdy, at our last writing was
on a trip to Belt and Great Falls to
capture suspects of the Matthews rob.
berry. On Fridays train came special
deputy Jos. r. Ferris from Belt with
Charles Burns, held ON a charge of grand
larceny, and accused of opening James
Matthews safe. The sum of money
named in the complaint was SLABS.
He was brought into Abbott's court, but
demanded a change of venue, and was
transferred to Judge Oden. Trial was
postponed till Monday OF account of
absent witnesses, and Burns was remand
ed to Jail. Monday night he was given
a hearing and bound over to the district
court. In the failure to give bail he
was taken next day to the county Jail to
await trial till April.
Richard Bennett appeared as aatorney
for the state, and W. d. Coppernoll Of
Belt for the defendent. A curious turn
in the proceedings was when the defend.
ant, who gave his name to the officer
as Charles Burns, signed the affidavit
demanding a change of venue as Charles
Mcguire. His reason for thus giving
two names was neve made known, but
the "alias" went far toward holding him
to the district court.

BIG MINING DEAL.
An Interest in a Great Silver Mine
Changes Hands.

A heavy interest in the Big Seven
Mining company changed hands this
week, when J. T. Arlington purchased
the interest of John r. Fitzsimmons in
that company, amounting to 100000
shares. The Big Seven is one of the fore
most mines of camp, producing rich ore
and paying occasional dividends. The
company is stocked for 1900, 900 shares.
1t is reported from direct source tnat the
sale was effected upon a cash basis of 5
cents a share, or $4,000 for the block.
This puts a valuation on the entire mine
of $75 1000. D. L. s. Barker and Edwin
j. Barker are the heaviest owners 81
stock aside from the interest purchased
by Mr.. Arlington.

Finest Train in the World.

The finest train IN the world is the
"New North Western Limited" which
leaves Minneapolis and st. Paul every
night for Chicago, via the North western
line. This magnificent train, from the
mammoth engine, patterned after the ia
nous "999," to the last car 10 the train,
is brand new, and represents the latest
and best ideas for absolute comfort and
luxury while travelling.
Besides the splendid buffet library car
really a clubroom on wheels, there is a
magnificent private compartment sleep
ing car, just the thing for ladies, famil-
les on those desiring privacy, luxuriously
appointed standard sleeping cars and the
most comfortable and w~ell-equipped day
coaches ever offered the travelling public.
This "New Limited" train is admitted
by the press as well as by thousands of
people of Minnesota and states west who
have inspected it, and also by many
others of this western country who have
recently rode on it, as being without any
question the finest tram in the world,
and no extra charge is made for any class
of passengers for its superior accommo-
dations.
Tickets via this popular line may be
secured from agents of the Northern Pa
cific railway, who will also make Sleep
ing car reservations; or, apply to Capt.
NJ. M. Wheeler, travelling passenger agt.,

THE DISCUSSION.

Washington. June 5.-on the opening OF
the senate communication from the
secretary OF state was received, transmit>
ting a letter from the minister from Aus
tro- Hungary, Barron Won Hengelmueiler.
portesting. in behalf OF his government,
against the Determinations of the sugar
schedule in the pending tariff bill against
bountied sugar. The minister's letter was
read at the request OF Vest. II urges
that the discrimination against sugar re-
ceiving bounties denies to Austro-Hun-
gary the most favored nations treat
ment. and also threatens to damage the
exports OF the country The communlcl-
tion was referred to the finance commits
tee.
AT 1l5 the consideration of the toriG
bill was resumed. The first paragraph
Of the wood schedule relating TO hewn'
etc. was agreed to at 10 cents per cubic
foot. the rate proposed by the committee
When the next paragraph, sawn boards,
blanks, etc. was reached. Vest sail ne
would later move to place the articles
in this paragraph and those of the pre-
vious one on the free list. Allison then
perfected Il proviso relating TO the addi-
ton of an export duty on sawlogs COM
ing from countries paying an export duty,
so the proviso will apply also to boom
sticks used in towing loss" This amend
ment was agreed to. Jones, of Arkan-
sas. referred to the heavy burden 1t ini>
posed upon the people OF the West. he
said the rates Of the hill were the result
of a determined effort by the lumber
men, and in this connection read letter
from the National Lumber Convention,
that was issued from an office in Wash
ington, urging that a petition to the sen-
ators and members be prepared bearing
the names Of worlSingmen. This Mr.,
Jones declared, was the means by which
the high rates were being urged. Vest
said there was not a single item In the
bin so utterly indefensible as that taking
white pine from the free list and placing
the rate of 50 per thousand feet upon 1t,
The clear intent OF the trainers OF this
bill was to make the rates absolutely pro-
hibitory on white pine. 1t was due to
some extent to a combination between
the lumber interests Of the West and
South. The senator referred to the man.
ner in which the Maine delegation had
succeeded for years in keeping spruce on
the 1utiable list. II was a credit to their
capacity, securing among other things
more of public buildings than any other
state. Vest declared the proposed rate
on white pine was in the interest OF the
lumber barons. who have accumulated
millions upon millions" at the expense OF
the people. As evidence of this the sena.
tor read a letter from Michigan giving
the names OF Michigan pine kings. Il
was, he said. the most indefensible item
of the bill without any extenuation OIL
palllation.
