ties and the officers of the railroads
running west of Chicago and ST. Louis,
and thereby the government expects
to effect a saving of $4,000 per year.
1t has been the custom of contractors
furnishing these supplies to the gov

freight rates for transportation. This
was found too expensive for the govern

for this kind of transportation is COM
puted at 5000, 900.
Internal Commissioner Jones has
been in Chicago for several days in
vesti eating the subject. He has had
personal conferences with the freight
agents of the leading westbound roads,
and has decided the government will
pay it's own freight billie. It is be-

NIX. AND T. DIRECTORS.
Considering An Extension From JEFF
ferSon West.

Missouri. Kansas, and Texas direc-
Tors have under consideration and are
like ly to act favorably upon PROPOSE
tion to extend their line from Jeffer-
son In Texas to the state line, 30 miles,
to con meet there with the Queen and
Crescent which desires to gain exit 10
the west and north of the state line
over the Kansas and Texas system.
The Queen and Crescent is Offering
attrac Tive inducements to ''Katy"
manag ers to make this extension. In
addition, the Kansas and Texas direc-
tors are consid ering proposition to
extend the line from San Marcos to
San Antonio fifty miles. This will
place the company in immediate con-
nection over it's own line with one of
the great distributing centers of the
south west.
At present the company uses the In
terDational and Great Northern under
traffic arrangements, but these are not
satisfactory.

nounced q rate of 10 cents per hundred
on cattle shipments originating in

not know just what the inducement
really is, they believe they must make
reductions in order to get the business.

LIVING BELLAMY FASHION
A Little Town in Kansas Conducted
by Cooperative Methods.

The Little town of Morehead, in the
very northwest corner of Labette
county, Kan, is probably the only
| town in the United States that is run
on cooperative plan to any extent
This little town has population of
about 500 or 600 people, and has adapt
ed cooperative methods al
mos: exclusively. It il situated on
the Santa Fe Railroad, between Ipde-
pendence and Kansas City, and is
about thirty miles north of here. It is

section, and the cooperative idea has
been extended into the country, where
several farms are run on the co-Opera-
tive basis. The farmers raise their
farmer has poor crops he need not sui
fer total loss, as he would do other
wise.
The cooperative methods that have
been adopted SO far have proven a sue
cess, and more enterprises are con-
stautly being put under this method of
doing business. At present the town
has cooperative hotel, cooperative
laundry, cooperative canning fac
tory, and q cooperative dining hall has
just been started, where several fami-
lies, perhaps two dozen, take their
meals. Anybody who is member of
the company can get their meals at re-
duced rates,i and many farmers have
become mem bers, so that they can get
good meal at a very low price when
they come to town on Saturday. A
cooperative movement is to be started
soon, which together with the dining
hall already in operation, will do away
with the hired girl problem. An ex-
perienced manager oversees each COM
mon enterprise and renders bis account
at the end of each month, and the ex-
penses are divided up among the men,
bers of the cooperative society.
The town is prospering, and many
new houses are going up. Other en-
terprises will be put on a cooperative
basis at once, and it is intended soon to
have all the cooking and other work
done in common, and such a town as

London, Jan. 26.-Yesterday Adelina
Patti, the singer, was married at Bre-
con, Wales, to Baron Cedarstrom, di-
rector of a health gymnastic institu-
ton here. Patti took the train from
Craig y Nos, her home, to Brecon. A
band met the party at the station, and,
with the fire brigade and police,
headed by the town banner and mace
bearers, escorted the wedding party to
the Roman Catholic church. Sir
George Faudel Philips, former lord
mayor of London, gave Patti away.
The service was very short and at its
+ conclusion the procession reformed
and proceeded to the station, whence
bride and groom started for London. A

The courtship was most romantic
one, and although older than her hus-
band, Madame Patti hardly LOOKS her
years. Notwithstanding that she is
in her seth year, she is still a. most
charming and beautiful woman, anu
up to the time of Sig. Nicolini's ILL
ness there was scarcely a line sug-
costing years or care in the great
diva's fascinating face. 1t is easy
to believe that Baron Cederstrom fell
a victim to the lovely singers charms
of manner and person.
Adelina's PATHS career has been All

She has accomplished the miracle OF
outlasting in fame two generations OF
operate singers Nine. Patti has
been before the public since she was
13 years of age, and she has never

AGONCILLO NOT RECOGNIZED.
His Communication Doesn't Change
Presidents Attitude.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The presenta-

communication from Agoncillo, Agui-
naldo's representative, as he calls him
self, has not changed the attitude of
the department towards him and there
is not the slightest probability that he
will be officially recognized by the
president or department. There is an
absence of advices from Otis which
lead the officials TO the conclusion tnat
there has been no appreciate change
in the conditions at Manila or IloilO.
Inquiry at the war department into the
reports of rapid increase In the num-
Der Of smallpox cases among the
American soldiers in Manila ELECTS the
assurance that the sick reports sent by
Otis exhibit the full extent Of the dis
ease so far as the officials know. The
mortality rate is not excessive. An in
teresting report upon the existing con-
ditions in the interior of the island of
Luzon has been made to the govern
ment through two naval officers, one
of them Paymaster Wilcox, who made
trip on foot and in boats clear across
the greatest length Of the island. They
found obstacles almost beyond belief,
and it required two months to make
the trip. They assert that the Spanish
poisoned the minds OF the natives
