MARKED OUT.
Plans For Shedding Light on
the Dark Places
In the Minds of the Voters of
Kansas
MADE BY THE PARTIES
POpulists Will Start With a
Big Camp Meeting.
Republicans Will Flood the
State With Literature.
DEMOCRATS ARE OUT.
They Will Have No Ticket in
the Field.
Barney Sheridan Decides That
Before Going Home.

Politicians sat with their heads close
together until u o'clock last night talk
ing of the deep, dark mysteries of poll
tics.
Nothing was DONE" said everyone
who had anything to do with the con-
ferences, but politics would not be mys-
terious if the men who make it so told
everything.
The Populists don't believe the stories
the Republicans tell about no cam
paign fund. One of the prominent mem
bers of the POpulist state central COM
mittee said he knows where the Re
publicans will get $25 900 with which to
start business but he would not be
specific and tell from where it is to
come.
Both Republican and PopuIist COM
mittees agreed upon the time for open
ing the state ampaign-that can be
told. The Republicans will turn their
speakers loose on the public on Septem-
ber 10. Until that time mouths are to
be sealed and the chairman and secre-
tary Will look wise and sit in their Of
flee in Topeka and flood the voters with
documents.
The PopuIist committee has decided
to not let the people rest in peace SO
long. On August II their orators will
go forth on a mission of conversion.
Ihey Will start the WIND machlne with
a big camp meeting such as POpulists
know how to hold.
Senator Allan of Nebraska and
Champ Clark Of Missouri are to be in
vited. The committee will decide later
where this meeting is to be held. After
that the people are to be given no
peace. There will be orators at every
cross roads at all times of the day
and night expounding the faith.
While the POpulist orators are prac-
ticing their speeches the central COM
mittee is to be active. The committee
has decided to issue a book. This book
like the Mistakes of Moses, will tell
about the things the Republicans did
not do that they might have done. 1t
will also tell about some things they
did do that they should not have done.
This book is to be the guiding star of
the campaign. 1t will be found upon
the center tables in every POpulist
home Vest pocket editions will be
read in shady hooks at the end of the
corn row. Street corner politicians will
flourish it in the faces of the uncOnvert-
ed. 1t is to be the club with which re-
caIcitrant Populists are driven home
and weak kneed Republicans conquer
ed.
Whatever efforts the Republicans
make in this line will be more modest.
Their pamphlets will not contain such
startling statements but they will be
pointed and will have the same ef-
feet

afternoon Harry Richter brought his
genial face to Topeka with him d day
or two in advance and he organized the
politicians into a base ball party and
as fast as they came in he enlisted them
under his banner and at i o'clock
marched them out to the ball ground

too good a politician to shout for To-

the last man for AtchisOn went out.
Besides Harry had a grudge against
foul ball into the grand stand that
came toward the nominee for Heuten-

Western railways have announced that
the number of pounds to constitute a car
load of dressed meats must be increased.
The rule now in effect requires 10000 pounds
TO the car, based on rate of As cents per
one hundred pounds from Chicago to New
York 1t is proposed to increase the car
load capacity 10 22,000 pounds before lower
ing carload rates From Chicago to New
York this means a difference of about 50 on
every carload of dressed meats, and the
packers naturally are opposed to the
change. The order was to have become
effective yesterday. but several of the roads
failed to give the required ten days notice
TO the Interstate-commerce Commission
which will prevent It's taking effect by all
lines; however, several have given the re-
quired notice in time.
