ENoRMoUs INCREASE
Freight Rates to Be Advanced so
Per Cent and Higher

Rates on all classes of freight will be
higher after December 81 than they
have been for several years The rates
which will apply on many classes of
traffic have already been agreed upon
at meetings of the various freight as
sOciations in the country, but the most
numerous, if not most important
changes, are now being considered by
organizations known as classification
committees. They are aiming at the
abolition of practically all commodity
rates" placing articles which have had
them in the regular classes, the result
being an increase OIL from 10 to so per
cent, even higher in some cases. Many
articles which have been in the lowest
classes will be placed in higher ones.
The classification committee of the
western railroads was to meet in Mil
waukee Tuesday for the purpose of
making such changes but on Saturday
Chairman Ripley issued the following
notice to all the western lines
In accordance with the recommended
ton of the subcommittee and lines hav-
ing headquarters in Chicago the meet
ing called for Tuesday November z,
viii be postponed until Tuesday Deem
Der 5. This action is taken in view of
the fact that the official classification
committee of the eastern trunk lines is
now voting on propositions involving
a large number of changes in official
classification, and it was thought best
to defer any action by western lines
until definite information could be OBJ
tanned as to the action of the official
classification committee of the east

stripes attest, claim Wilson as their
home town: John McKittrick, William
Hale Miller and Henry G. RuppenthaL
McKittrick has lived here all his life.
Miller was born and reared three miles
west of town in Russell county. Rup-
penthal, who is also of Russell county,
has spent % years of his life within a
few miles of Wilson, and first touched
Kansas soil at Wilson on his parents
emigration from Philadelphia to Kan
Sas. Miller was the only one of the
three present to receive the Joyous well
come, McKittrick having remained to
visit at Lawrence where company H, in
which he was sergeant, was recruited.
Ruppenthal is at Salina visiting. He
was corporal of company NJ, and Mil
Ter was also of company NJ. Both of
the latter were students at the Salina
normal university when war was de-
clared, and enlisted there. Ruppenthal
wrote numerous letters from the Phil
ippineS to the Wilson Echo Russell Re-
former, Russell Record, Hays Republi-
can, Sylvan Alert, and one or two that
were published in the State Journal.

concession to the country editor in
swapping a reasonable amount of non
transferable transportation for a rea-
sonable amount of space. If the trade
proves Improbable, it is more likely
to be because the space is not widely
used, rather than because you do not
need to announce your wares locally.
1T is of the greatest Importance to
the railroad that its relations to the
press should be cordial. Not because
the Road persistently and maHciously
does things which it ought not to do
and leaves undone things which it
ought to do-for which it deserves pub
lie exposure and criticism-but because
Road and Press are allies IN the work
of civilization. Their interests are mu-
tual. The one supplements the other.
Their cooperation is essential to the
welfare of each. Both are financially
interested in building up the COM
munity, in increasing immigration, in
increasing production of farm and fac
tory, in increasing trade Together,
they accomplish wonders. If they
clash, the community suffers with

a Surprising Week.

Last week developed a number of sur
priSeS in the railway supply trade. For
some weeks previous there has been pre-
dictions from men whose opinions we're
entitled to some respect that the high
prices of material of all kinds had reach
ed a plane that was practically prohibit
tive and that consequently the purchases
by the railway companies would be great
" curtained. In the face of this belief
there is the record of purchases of ], 500 900
tons of steel rails at an advance of 81
per ton over the price prevalent a month
ago, and at double the price at which
rails were bought last year. The Ameri-
can Car and Foundry company took or
ders for approximately 10000 cars of
which the New York Central alone or
dered 10000. This road also purchased in
one lump ninety Iocomottves.-St. Louis

He WAS A SYRIAN.
So Uncle Sam Would Not Allow
Moses Sad to Enlist.

Russell, Nov. 6.-There was discon-
solate young Syrian on the west-bound
Z. P. train on Saturday evening, re-
turning to his home seven miles west
of Wakeeney, near Collyer. He had
just been down to Fl. Riley and had
tried to enlist in the U. S. army to go
to the Philippines, but was rejected,
because, he explained, the recruiting
officer asked if he could write and read
English and he replied Mo- but that
he could read and write Syrian.
He said he was born 10 miles from
Damascus, lived there until IS years of
age, then came to America and lived
here five years. He tried peddling no
tions, but was ashamed of such lazy
work, he said, and so hired out as a
farm hand in Trego county. He was
proud of being an American citizen
and never wanted to return to Syria,
but wanted to be a, soldier for Uncle
Sam. He regretted spending SIS for a
useless trip to enlist, but would now
try to learn to read and write English,
and maybe he could yet be a soldier.
IF not, he would buy a farm in Trego
county and be a Kansas farmer. Moses
Sad is his name, and sad he was,
though he pronounces it broader than

BIG CATTLE SHIPMENT.
Col. Reynolds Sends 900 to Market
From Cove County.

The largest shipment of cattle from
this county in years was that of last
Sunday when Col S. S. Reynolds ship
ped from Grainfieid one train load of
cattle, twenty-six cars, 900 head, valued
at $40, 900. In the days of the old Smoky
to settlement, when Buffalo Park was
a ffourishing village of 1000 people, it
was not an uncommon thing for one
man to ship a train load of cattle. Dur
ing the shipping season, Buffalo Park
would average three trains daily, but
now it is different, the county is fairly
well settled and farming has an equal
show with stock raising. At this period
of our advancement it causes no little
excitement to have one man undertake
so large a shipment; it means between
$40, 900 and $4,000 to Mr.. Reynolds

The Fighting Fifth which is likely
to take a. leading part in any hostilities
there may be in South Africa, is one of
the very few regiments in the British
army in which woman fought for many
years side by side with the men.
On the tombstone of her grave at
Brighton, which is still kept in good or
der by the officers is the Inscription: In
memory of Phoebe HesseI. who was born
at Stephney in the year 1713. She served
for many years as a soldier in the Fifth
regiment in different parts of Europe, and
in the year 1745 fought under the COM
mand of the Duke of Cumberland in the
battle of Fontenoy, where she received a
bayonet wound in her arm. Her long life
extended from the reign of Queen Anne

arch she received comfort and support in
her later years. She died at Brighton, De-

THEY ARE CONVINCING.
Statement Of A Neighbor is To Be Be
lieved.
Nothing So Convincing as What Per-
sons Whom We Know and
Respect, Say.

There is nothing quite so convincing
as the statements of people whom we
know and respect. If your neighbor
tells you so1nething,you know it is true;
no neighbor will deceive another. So
that is the way with Kid-ne-oids- The
statements of people living right here
in Topeka are published so that you
may ask these people and find out the
great good Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are
doing.
W. ,. Mccormick, S13 Kansas avenue
says: Il suffered for several years with
kidney trouble before knowing the
cause of my trouble. I had frequent
desire to urinate, and discharges being
scanty at times and at others profuse-
I became alarmed at my condition and
consulted a doctor who pronounced II
kidney trouble but said he could not
cure me. 1 then used kidney remedies
without being relieved; Morrow's KID
ne-oids was the only remedy that gave
me particle of relief. I used them &C
cording to the directions and was great
iy relieved. / am satisfied that / have
found in MOrrOw'S Kid-ne-OidS a cure
for kidney troubles and I viii recon-
mend them to others afflicted as I have
BEEN 1 have used Morrow's Liyerlax
for torpid liver and constipation and
find nothing better"
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
but yellow tablets, and cure all kidney
disorders, backache and nervousness
They sell at fifty cents a box at all

five cents a box.

LIKE THE SANTA FE.
Engine Pooling Sy, tenn Established
on the Lake Shore.


on the Lake Shore.
Chicago, Nov. 6.-Lake Shore engi-
neers and their regular engines are to
be separated. The decree order has
gone forth and hereafter each Iocomo-
tive driver will take the first engine
offered him instead of waiting for his
accustomed machine. Engineers on
this road, as well as others, have
practically grown up in the cabs of
the time of promotion until their serv-
ice was ended. This relationship be-
tween man and machine has furnished
food for many heroic poem. The
faithful engineer and his iron steed
have constituted stocks in trade of the
railroad story builder. But sentiment
is to give way to business.
On the Chicago, Michigan and De-
troit divisions of the system, what is
known as the pooling plan of engines
is to be established. Instead of assign
ing engineers and hremen to certain
locomotives each crew will go out in
regular order without regard to the
engine used.
The change was requested by the en-
gineers themselves, they alleging that
the old system of lone engineer, one
engine" worked a hardship on a major
ity of the employees. For example, one
or two engines might be assigned to
several trains, covering divisions two
or three times while other engines lay
idle in roundhOuses. Under the new
system the same engine may be used
for several runs in succession, but each
run Will see new engineer in charge

MORE co1oRED MINERS.
The Central Coal and Coke Co. Import
Foreign Labor to Weir City.

Pittsburg. Nov. 6.-The Memphis rail-
road brought in a shipment of about 40
coIored men bound for Weir City Sat
urday to work in the mines of the Cen
trail Coal Sc Coke company. They were
a tough looking outfit
So far as the production is concerned,
the union miners are not at all worried
by the importation of colored men be-
cause they cannot work in this coal
vein, and make a living. AS quick as the
company attempts to confine their pur-
chasers of the coIored miners from the
company store to their legitimate earn
ings, the company will find the colored
mana kicker.
President Wright is prepared to ship
out tonight the same number of miners
that We're brought in by the Central
Coal & Coke company.
