BUT IS REMAIN
Of Those Who Entered the National
Golf Contest.

Morristown, Sept. 14.-Of the 1O2 as
pirants who began last Monday to play
for national amateur golf championship
honOrs over the Morris county golf
links, 16 were still in the race when the
contest was resumed this morning. AS
on yesterday, match or hole play was
the rule and some excellent golf was
expected from the eight pairs who will
traverse the long course twice during
the days play.
The local player, J. A. Tying has a
host of admirers who pin their faith in
his ability to hold his own against any
of his opponents now eligible. c. B.
Macdonald of Chicago, the former
champion, and Walter B. Smith of the
Onwentsia club, of Lake Forest, Ill,
are also looked upon as very likely to
be among those who will be in the eight
successful ones at the close of the day s
play.
The most popular fancy for the &C
tual winner points to Findlay Douglass
of the Fairfield club, Greenwich, Conn,
and the game that he has put up during
the last two days fully stamps him as
having an excellent chance for the
prize.
The weather this morning was de-
Iightful and quite a representative as
semblage was on hand when play be-
gan at 10 o'clock.

1917 CARS OF EGGS.
Handled by One Concordia Shipper
Last Year.

Mr.. John Stewart of COncOrdia, who
testified before the board of railroad
commissioners in the hearing of the
complaint made by the jobbers OF Con
cordia against the railways centerlng
there, presented to the board some re-
markable figures relative to the volume
of the butter, egg and poultry business
he did during 1897.
Mr.. Stewart does a wholesale produce
business, and during last year he han
died 1855, 200 dozen eggs, or 1877 car
loads. The average price per dozen
was u cents At this price the total
value of the eggs was S283, S24.
During the same period Mr.. Stewart
purchased 5S5,191 pounds of poultry,
paving therefor, at an average price or
s cents per pound, the sum OF $40 619-zo
He has handled $40, 5S7 pounds of but
ter worth, at an average price OF u
cents per pound, $87, O58.70. In other
words Mr. Stewart paid out to the far
mers of his locality a total of $417, 697-98
for these three items.
OF course all these eggs and other
produce did not come from the immedi-
ate vicinity of COncOrdia, as Mr.. Stew
art buys from retail dealers and gro
GERS but they all come from the terri
per cent of this produce is shipped to
California.
During the same time Mr.. Stewart
used 10 cars of lumber in the manufac-
ture of egg cases, five cars of egg case
filters and four cars of stock for max
ing butter tubs. He employs from TWEEN
ty to thirty persons and during the
spring ships two cars of eggs day.
During 1897 he paid out 500 63S Sc for
freight, or an average of 1920 per day
When it is remembered that Mr.. Stew
art is but one of many such dealers
in different parts of the state the value
of the Kansas hen and COW as wealth
producers can readily be seen.

UNDER AMUSEMENT.
Railroad Commissioners Postpone a
Decision in the Concordia Case

Railroad Commissioners Postpone a
Decision in the Concordia Case.
The state board of railroad commits
sioners have taken under advisement
the complaint of the jobbers of Concor-
dia against the railroads centering
there, which was heard by them yes
terday afternoon.
The Concordia jobbers insist that they
are entitled to jobbers' rates to put
them on an equal footing with the job
berS of Abilene, Enterprise, Salina and
other towns, who, it is is claimed, have
better railroad rates in making ship
ments than the COncordia jobbers.
Walter Darlington, mayor of Con-
cordfa, acted as attorney for the COM
plainants, while A. A. Hurd represent
ed the Santa Fe, N. H. LOOMS the
Union Pacific and A. H. Horton and w
F. Guthrie the Missouri Pacific.
J. H Cline a miller, testified that for
several years he had been able to do
business on the main line of the Union
Pacific west of Salina, but since other
towns had been given lower rates he
had not only been driven out of that
territory but other millers had come into
the territory adjacent to Concordia.
John Stewart, a wholesale produce
dealer on cross examination said his
competition was not so much from cen
trail Kansas towns as from Missouri
river points. He presented a statement
showing that he paid out on an average
$500 per day for freight during 1897.
Mr.. Stewart also said that an eastern
buggy company which established a
branch house in COncOrdia last year
had been compelled to move it to Sa-
lima on account of the discrimination in
rates in favor of the latter point This
fact had brought about the complaint
from the Concordia people.
The railroads commended that Con-
cordia is not injured by the present
rates, which. they allege, are as low as
the quantity and kind of business done
there will justify.
1T is not so much a question of
whether the business of Concordia de-
mands lower rates that is to be con-
sidered in this NATTER said Railroad
Commissioner Vim. Campbell at the
close of the hearing, but it is the prin-
ciple Observation-Disclosures or not one town
shall have an ADVANTAGE over another.n

Talk of fastening the Evacuation of
Cuba-COuecting Revenues


New York Sept. IA special to the
Times from Washington says:
The Spaniards are not evacuating Cuba
as fast many people in this country
wish them to. It is claimed by those who
are urging the government to take vigor-

that the government at Madrid is trying
to hold onto the Cuban customs duties as

If this be true. it is a reason that all
thrifty merchants can understand and ap-
prec1ate- Spain has had nothing to con-
slider but debts and outlay for months
It IS gratifying to her to be able to take
in some thousands of dollars of revenue
from Cuban custom houses which many
persons in this country think should be al

The administration does not, however
credit this charge against Spain. nor does

that the SpaniardS are not getting out

Inquiry Made by Patron of a "Short
Grass" School

superintendent Stryker is in receipt
of the following letter from a western
Kansas man:
Il see by your decision that if
school is closed on account of sickness
of the children, such as diphtheria, scar
let fever, etc, that the teacher can still
draw pay. Now I would like to know if
the teacher should get sick and the
school is closed can't the pupils or dis
trict ask damages from the teacher"
superintendent Stryker was consider
ably amused by the inquiry. 1.-THE pu-
pills might ask damages he said, but
they could hardly collect anything from
a teacher on account of sickness"
