''Hurrah for Kansas" some other fell
low cried, and on the despised Kansans
went Nothing could hold them back.
They had got off the sand pile, on to
the firing line; they were there to fight
and Kansas was watching her lads. So
was the world, but Kansas was the
world to the Kansans. They almost
brought about check by their feroc-
ity
''Straighten out your line the divis-
ion commander commanded.
I will, sir, as soon as I can get the
Kansans back" was the answer
When he did get them back they had
invaded Caloocan, lost six men and had
% wounded.
After that there was no longer a de-
SpiSed Kansas regiment. The TWenti-
eth was put in Caloocan and ordered to
hold it. On the night of the Sth it was
learned that the Filipinos had planned
a rush. The Twentieth was ordered to
repel it. Instead of standing to receive
the attack, the regiment went out in
the night, crawled up on the enemy,
alert as it was, and went through like
the hot winds of their own state. Their
battle cry was a football yell. -
On the 9Th, after this night rush,
they were sent to turn the left flank of
the enemy, in hopes of hemming him,
and once more Reuter- singled out this
remarkable regiment to describe to his
European readers.
Five days later Funston came to the
front Last month in MacArthur's
four days nShtlnSt Funston called Tor
volunteers, took 20, refused the rest of
his regiment and swan river under
fire. Twenty-one of those despised fell
lows, so the Associated Press dispatch
es reported were five minutes crossing
a river that danced with bullets, and
terminated the affair by capturing so
of the enemy.
Sixteen times was the regiment I'M
der fire 1t took part in two bayonet
fights, it's colonel was the only colonel
to lead a charge through the swamps,
and one of it's Heutenants the first
American soldier to die in the Philip
pines, died in the jungle, fighting like
hero, singing of Kansas and shouting
his college yell.
Kipling would love such a regiment
for it's dispised qualities and magnif
icent fighting men.

A SOUR TRUST.
A Vinegar and Yeast Combine About
Perfected.


Chicago, May 1.-The Tribune says:
After the middle of May there will be
but one vinegar factory in Chicago, the
output of which is not controlled by
the American Vinegar company which
is being financed by Henry CIews & Co.
have given options on the purchase of
their factories as follows:
Spielman Bros. company, w. H.
Bunge company, William Henning &
Co., the Prussing Vinegar company.
The estimated value of the four Chi
cago plants is $1,000, 900. After their alb
sorptiOn by the American Vinegar
company, that corporation will it is
said, control 95 per cent of the vinegar
and yeast output in the United States.
Forty factories in various parts of the
country in territory extending from
Omaha to Boston and from Dubuque
to Louisville will be in the combination
In all these factories yeast is an i'm
portant by-product.
The consolidation of the interests will
terminate a four years war which has
resulted disastrously to yeast prices.
Yeast for some time has been selling at
10 cents a pound, while the cost of man
ufacture is about Is cents. 1t is ex-
pected the price of yeast will be raised
the latter figure. The future price of
vinegar will be less affected and may
factories in the country will be closed.
In all cases the trade will be supplied
from the nearest point of manufacture,
saving much in freight rates.
The annual vinegar output is 100000
barrels.
