Santa Fe and K C. P. & g. Have
Trouble Which Gets Them
Into Court.

A quarrel between the Kansas City,
Pittsburg & Gulf railroad and the San
ia Fe found its way into the federal
court yesterday.
The suit is for an injunction to pre-
vent the Santa Fe from Withdrawing

Pittsburg & Gulf on freight rates. The
joint tariff on the Texas business was
withdrawn on Feb. Is. and the two
roads are before Judge Phillips in Kan
sas City on that question. The present
suit is to prevent the. withdrawal of
other joint tariffs on March l.

ness under an agreement by which the
freight is transferred from one road to
the other and the freight charges col
lected after a division is made. The
Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf claims
that the Santa Fe has demanded that
the charges be prepaid, just as they are
with other shippers
Judge williams fixed Thursday OF

Hats and Bonnets Suitable For Ali

For Our Ladies.
FAIR SEX OUT IN NUMBERS.

How lovely
Oh, did you see them? The ladies
who were out last night visiting
our various millinery establishments
that had thrown open their doors
IN what was known as their fall
opening.
The following houses were ablaze
with lights and made good displays:
Miss Grow, between Pine and
Vine street, on Broad; Mrs. E. f.
Torran's, on Broad street, between
Vine and Elm; Miss McDermott,
No 2O8 East Broad street, and Mrs.
Lizzie O'Donnell, Temple of FASH
ion, No 214 East Broad str eet.
Had it not been for the four
openings on the same night, the
vast crowd could not have squeezed
into any one of the houses, and we
noticed jam at all the various
places.
The ladies did not go prepared tc
buy, but to look and price; and try
them on, and we noticed many
shapely heads and pretty faces
fitted into Partisan headgear.
The hats this fall do not run to
feathers and plumes so much as
they did last season, but are
trimmed with buckles and ribbons
artificial flowers and few Ostricf
tips.
However, the prices have moi
shrunk to any noticeable degree
and we frequently heard price:
given at from $l2 to $35 for one lit
tie hat or bonnet and they must bt
worth it for we saw no one fal
down in a faint.
We were told that the hats thi
season we're named according t
their shape for the heroes OF the
late war with Spain. Our infor
mant picked up hat and said
"This is the Hobson, you will no
tice that the brim is turned up il

We then imagined that we saw
