Hutchinson, March "A special train
went from this city to Blackwell. o. T.,
carrying the Second Regiment band
with a number of invited guests of the
road, to help celebrate the entrance in
to Blackwell of the Hutchinson and
Southern railway.
The road from MedfOrd to Blackwell
a distance of &c miles, is new track. 1t
is laid with new so pound steel rails. and
makes one of the best roads anywhere
in the west.
When the train pulled into Blackwell
it was greeted by a large per cent of
the people of Kay county, who had
gathered to welcome the incoming of
the train. Wagons of every descrip-
ton buggies, phaetons, bicycles and
every other form of conveyance were
there
The track layers, headed by the six
feet three inches of physical stature of
President W. A. Bradford, with a show
ell on his shoulder, led the procession up
town. The band boys followed then in
turn came the mayor and council, the
county officers, school children and a
string of wagons and buggieS. They
marched up to the center of the town.
An address of welcome was delivered
by Mayor Blackwell. The response was
delivered by the local attorney of the
road, Frank S. WhitelaW.
Then came the dinner for all. Five fat
oxen and ten hogs had been roasted for
the occasion, 5000 loaVes of bread were
used, six barrels of pickles and it was

BROKE ALL RECORDS.
Volume of February Business Greater
Than Ever Before Known.

New York, March 2-Brads treets says:
February bank clearings as reported to
Bradstreet's point to an immense volume
Of business done in the country during
the past month The total clearingS,
though naturally enough smaller than
January's record breaking totals. were
evidently so only because of a holiday
still further curtailing the time avafla BILE
for business transactions for reason that
the average daily clearings were larger
than those of January, and the monthly
total was heavier, not only than for any
previous February on record. but larger
than most months of normal years.
The total clearings of II cities Of the
United States for the month aggregated
s., 553, 100000, smaller by per cent than
those of January, but larger by 81 PEP
cent than February last year; 70 per cent
in excess of the low water mark of 1894
and ga per cent larger than in 1892, the
heaviest February on record.
For the two months of 1898 the total
clearings aggregated 81, 527, 100000, a total
larger by AZ per cent than the correspond
ing period of last year, SO per cent larger
than 1894, and nearly per cent larger
than the first two months of 1885, a period
of very heavy totals.
Only two cities of the country show de-
creases as compared with February OF
last year.
Canadian bank clearings were also very
heavy, aggregating S11O,39 sos. decrease
of 2 per cent from January, but a gain Of
20 per cent over February of last year.

COOKE FOR LEEDY.
Middle of the Road Democrat Declares
for Fusion.

Sidney G. Cooke of Harrington, who in
the campaign of 1894 was candidate for
lieutenant governor on the stalwart
Democratic ticket headed by David
Overmyer, called on Governor Leedy
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Cooke re-
manned some time with the governor,
and when he left it was noticed that the
executive was particularly good ma
tured.
This was due to the fact that Mr..
Cooke painted a rather roseate future
for the present governor. He told Gov
ernOr Leedy that he commended his ad-
miniStratiOn and would personally do
all he could toward his reelection. He
also expressed the opinion that the
Democrats of Kansas generally were
pleased with his administration, and
that there was no doubt that fusion
would be accomplished.
From the fact that Mr.. Cooke has in
past campaigns opposed fusion of the
Democratic and POpulist parties, Gov
ernOr Leedy takes this expression as
significant.

IGNORES ITS COURTS.
The Government Will Pay No Atten-
ton to Judge Rogers.

Washington, March I'm speaking
today of the decision of United States
District Judge Rogers at Kansas City
in which he held in effect that the pres
ent system of government meat inspec-
ton was unconstitutional, Attorney
General Griggs said that his advice to
the agricultural department officials
would be to continue the system as at
present until all of the facts of the case
could be presented to the court. In the
light of the opinion itself the attorney
general was satisfied that the indict-
ment failed to bring out the important
fact that the cattle slaughtered were
purchased in the west, and although
the commodity took another form it
was in fact in transit to another market
without the state and therefore not on
~ subject of interstate commerce but
actually in the channels of interstate
commerce. The failure to set out this
fact in the Indictment, the attorney
general said may have Influenced Judge
Rogers opinion In any event the de-
partment will disregard the opinion for
the present at least.

was created, composed of L. c. Kraut-
hoff of Kansas City, for three years;
Louis Kramer of Cincinnati for two
years, and Frederick K. Stearns of De-
trOit for one year.
Beginning with 1899 one man shall be
elected annually. To this board, which
is entirely independent of any of the
clubs of the league, shall be referred all

and it is provided that there shall be no

tors of the league.

STATE MAY Do 1T.
May Take Charge of the Inspection of
Meat at Kansas City.

J. G. Mccoy, cattle inspector at the
Kansas City stock yards was in the
city today and had q, conference with
Governor Leedy about the recent decis-
ion of Judge Rogers in regard to the
government inspection of meat. He
strongly recommended q. state meat in
spection law and thinks that if there is
no such law the price of cattle and
hogs will decline materially for the
reason that, in his opinion, foreign ma
lions will find a good excuse to put up
the bars against American meats. 1t
is urged that the packing houses could
be compelled to pay the inspection
charges. Mr.. Mccoy thinks they would
be very willing to do that, asthey are as
much interested in removing the re-
strictions from the meat exporting
trade as the farmers are.
In the event of an extra session being
called some move in this direction may
be attempted.

Bank in Tangle.

A petition will be filed in the district
court of Butler county this week asking
for the appointment of a receiver for
the State Bank of Augusta by Assist
ant Attorney General George Smelling
The bank is supposed to have been in
the hands of a receiver for the past
several years, but recently it was dis
covered that as a result of legal misun-
Outstanding the receiver has been act
ing without authority for some time.
In 1898 N. A wager of Augusta was
appointed receiver of the bank under
proceedings brought in the district
court by Attorney General Little From
that time to this he has been serving as
receiver, but a few days ago, in pre-
pairing to bring suit against stockhold-
ers of the insOlvent institution, he
found that the proceedings under which
he had been appointed had been unwit-
tfngly dismissed by the district judge
The entry shows dismissed for want of
prosecution" and the judge explains by
saving that he forgot the nature of the
case, and when it was called no one
apeared and it was dismissed.
New proceedings will be commenced
so as to reinstate Mr.. Yager as legal
receiver Mr.. Smelling has not yet de-
cided what course to pursue to protect
his acts while not legally receiver.
