If it's paint you want-good
paint, strictly pure, made Of lead,
zinc and linseed oil, and the neces-
sary color and dryer; just that and
nothing else in it, no. adulteration
or cheapening material, all this
guaranteed and sold subject to

It's the cheapest paint on the
market. Don't judge by the gallon
price, but by the cost Of the job
complete, which will always be
less than than when so-called
cheap paints are used, because it
goes SO much farther and lasts
SO much longer. Ask Tor "Horse

GOOD WORD FOR FILIPINOs
Capt Boltwood Says They Are Capable
of Self Government

Ottawa Kan. Nov. 13.-In a lecture
in this city recently Captain BOltwood
said on discussing the Filipinos: They
have been called 'niggers but they do
not resemble the negro in any way.
They are about the color of Indians
and, like them, have straight hair, thin
lips and high cheek bones. The men
wear very little beard and the women
are noted for their beautiful hair which
commonly reaches to their knees. Ihe
most striking thing about them is their
extreme cleanliness. Their clothing is
spotlessIy clean and nearly all, men and
women, dress in white. Their persons
are also clean as they battle two or
three times a day. Their houses are
likewise kept faultleSSly clean. Very lit
tie clothing is worn but they put to
shame many communities in our own
land on the points of mOdesty and i'm
morality. Very many are Wen educated
there being a frst-class university IN
Manila and excellent schools IN cOnnec-
ton with the cathedrals. Taking them
as a whole they are better penmen than
the Americans and have a natural bent
toward mechanics. Music comes nat
ural to them, this being noticed IN the
accurate reproduction by native bug
lers of the calls of Americans.
THE land is very fertile and is used
for the raising of rice. Fruits grow
easily but are not cultivated. Further
back from the bay sugar cane grows
almost spontaneously but they have no
refineries and nothing much is done in
this line. The larger portion of the
people can read and write, are polite
and cultured and there are no distinct
class divisions such as are found in
many eastern lands. The Filipino has
a great affection for his home, never
1nistreats his children and is much
more capable of government than
the Mexican, for example. The char
acter of the people and the resources
of the country furnish conditions which

LONG PULLMAN SERVICE.
Santa Fe Will Hold the White Ribbon
In the Worlds Record.

The Pullman car service over the
Santa Fe and Mexican Central roads
from Kansas City to the City of Mex
leo viii be inaugurated on Sunday, No
vember 10. This will be one of the long
est through car services in the world.
There is one longer service in the Uni
ted States and one in Canada, the San
ia Fe being second in this country and
third in the world. The following table
shows the longest five daily first-class
thrugh lines in America:

There are several tourist car lines,
operating from terminals two three
times a week, that cover more miles
than the above hrSt-claSS services. The
longest of these, probably, is that be-
tween Washington. D. c., and San
Francisco over the Southern railway
and the Southern Pacific via New Or
leans. The distance via this route,
without change, is 1888 miles. Next
comes the tourist service of the Illinois
Central and Southern Pacific from Chi
cagO to San Francisco via. New Orleans
the distance being 3412 miles. The Ca
madam Pacific operates a secOnd-clasS
line from Boston. Mass, to Seattle, Wn.,
this measuring 3,248 miles.
The Milwaukee and St. Paul and the
Northwestern and other lines. in con-
nection with the Michigan Central and
other eastern roads, operate lines OF
tourist cars between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, but the journey is bro
ken by a change of cars in Chicago,
which would eliminate them from the
continuous class. No through cars are
run from coast to coast by any of the
roads in the United States for the rea-
son that the service is not demanded
it being alleged that passengers making
this long transcOnunental trip prefer to
change cars in Chicago.

LEGISLATIVE ACTION.
Texas Railroad Employees Want State

NEW YOkK's BIG SCHEME.
Museum of Living History and Court
of All Nations.

New York, Nov. 13.-P1ans have just
been completed by George B. Post, the
architect, for a building that is destined
to be glory of New York and the
pride of the United States It is pro
posed to call it the Museum of Living
History and Court Of All Nations, but
in reality it will be a complete encylo-
paedia of the world The plan is only
in its infancy at present. The idea of
its originator H. A. SpauIding, is to 10
cate the building in the vicinity of
Grants tomb, overlooking the North
river.
The design of the building is Grecian
in it's symmetry and simplicity. The
material is to be marble and gray
granite. The ground plan is that of a
cross superimposed on circle. This
circle, which is 800 feet in diameter, in
cludes five circular galleries on the
125 feet; two galleries below this, and
one above the outer gallery.
These circular galleries will be dame
trically intersected on the ground Fl COR
by four wings at right angles to each
other each 800 feet long, 200 feet wide
and IS feet high. These four wings are
to be called the Donors hall, the Hall
of Religion, the Hall of Gifts and the
Hall of Litera ture.
The floor space would be reserved for
specimens Of art, handicraft, utensils
weapons and implements, while the
archives would contain government
text books, maps, plans Of cities, copies
of the constitution and sacred books. A
universal library would be another of
the features.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Kansas City But a WhfstIing
Station on the Santa Fe.
As Far as Eastbound Limited
Trains Are Concerned.
FLYERS MAKE NO STOP
Pass Through at the Rate of
40 Miles an Hour.
RaiIrOad News of a General and
Local Nature.

Kansas City, Nov. 13.-''Kansas City;
Whistling Station; This Train Does
Not Stop" The average Kansas Cityan
would scarcely believe that such a pla-
card could ever with propriety have
been put up in any train running into
the great railroad center, the metrop-
oils of the great southwest"
But it is a fact that one great rail-
road has one of its trains regularly
scheduled to go through Kansas City
at forty miles an hour. The engineer
blows the whistle, but otherwise Kan
sas City secures no further recognition
than the ordinary road crossing in the
rural districts.
1t is the east bound California limited
of the Santa F'e route which thus dis
cOurteously treat Kansas City and
shocks the pride of her inhabitants who
feel that something ought to be done
like the Iowa legislature attempted
when it passed a law that all trains
must stop at county seat towns.
1t was only the middle of last week
that this new feature was inaugurated
with the resumption, for the winter, of
these palatial through trains over the
Santa Fe between California and Chi
cagO. The train runs four days inthe
week, both directions. The west bound
trains run into the union depot at 8.45
in the morning and leave at 8 o'clock.
The east bound train stops at Holiday,
fifteen miles from Kansas City, at 2:30
in the morning and does not stop again
until it reaches Marceline, Mo, away
east Of this city, at $50. 1t goes past
the Grand Avenue depot in Kansas
City about 3 o'clock in the morning.
This is the reason, according to Pas
sengeF Agent George w. Hagenbuch,
why the big train does not stop here.
Speaking of the matter, he said:
1T is for the accommodation of the
public that this arrangement was made.
Nobody wants to come into town at 3
o'clock in the morning. so the Kansas
City sleeper is taken off at Topeka and
lays there until No. 2, the Atlantic ex-
press, comes along. when it is attached
at Z o'clock in the morning. The pas
sengers on this through train take
sleepers and they are better accOmmO-
dated by not being obliged to get up
before O'Clock. The sleeper might be
brought in on the limited at o'clock,
and the passengers remain in their
berths until morning, but the car could
not be left at the union depot, because
it would be in the way of other train. 1t
on the side tracks at night, with all the
switching going on, would not be a safe
or comfortable place to leave a sleeper
full of passengers.
OF course. if there should be any
one on the train in great haste to reach
Kansas City on account of sickness or
for business or personal reasons, he
could stay aboard and the stop would
be made to let him off. But as a rule
by bringing them in here, as we do, at
Z o'clock. There is no need for the train
to stop for Chicago passengers. 1t
would not get any at that hour in the
morning. So the stop is not made, and
just that much time is saved

CHICAGO RIOT CASES.
Trials Begin In the Federal Court
TODAY

Chicago, Nov. 13.-The trial of what
are known as THE Riot Cases win be-
gin before Judge hohlsaat in the fed
eral court today. These are cases in
which various railway companies ask
for judgments against the city for dam
ages to their property suffered during
the railroad strike in 1894 on account of
the alleged failure of the police author
tiles to furnish adequate protection.
One of these cases. a minor one, has
been tried and taken to the supreme
court of the state by the city on the
plea that the statute holding the city
liable for damages of this character
was unconstitutional. The supreme
court, however, held the statute con-
stitutional and decided the city must
pay.
The present cases, accordingly, viii
turn simply on questions of fact, the
city trying to show the companies have
not suffered as much damage as they
claim.
The aggregate of these claims is
nearly 5000, 900 and in the one trial
brought by the Pennsylvania company
the amount claimed is $500, GOO.
Chief Kepley issued an order to all
members of the police department, who
were on active service at the time Of
the strike to call at the controllers Of
flee and give their testimony. Almost
200 patrolmen responded and turned in
their testimony.

sHIPPERs PRoTEsT.
Freight Rates Will Be Advanced De-
spite Their Cries. However.

Kansas City, Nov. 13.-The representa-
uXes Of the traffic departments of the
railroads are daily in receipt of protests
from prominent shippers against the con-
templated advances in rates. Some of the
complaints are wild and weird and some
go SO far as to state if the present course
OF the railroads is not stopped they will
drive many of the merchants out of bust
ness 1t is a we'll known xiom that the
consumer pays the freight and the only
effect the advance in rates will be to en-
hance the price of the material to the
consumer There is no fear that the ad-
yanced "a ties will drive anyone out of bus
mess That there will be plenty of pro-
tests the railroads are prone to admit,
but there is no reason why the railroads
should not enjoy a portion of the general
prosperity.
Keeping in mind the decision of the su-
preme court in the case of the Joint Traf-
nc ASSOCIATION of the eastern railroads,
the traffic officials are very careful to
say that the increase in rates is due to
individual action of the interested
roads; but they do not deny that it is gen>
orally understood that the same rates
Will be made by all lines. 1t would be sim
ply impossible for any line to advance it's
rates on any class of freight unless its
competitors did the same. While the lines
have made many advances in rates, it is
well known that they are not primarily
responsible for the action. The order to
advance and maintain rates came from
the handful of men who represent the in
terests of the stockholders and bondhold-
ers of all the important lines in the coun-
try.

WANT MORE TIME
Railways Will Ask Until 1901 to
Complete Air Brake and Coup
Ter Equipment

Cincinnati. Nov. 13.-The interstate
commerce commission Will in the near
future be presented with a petition
signed by the head officers of all the
leading railroads in the country re-
questing that the time for equipping
locomotives and cars with air brakes
and automatic cOuplers be extended to
January 1, 1901
The law requiring the railroads to
equip their cars and locomotives with
automatic couplers and air brakes was
passed in 1898
Under the provisions of the law all
cars and locomotives not SO equipped
by January 1, 1898, could not be used
for interstate commerce.
The hard times that followed found
most of the roads without the money
to place the safety devices on their
equipment, and as a consequence when
the five years given the roads under
the law in which to do the work had
about expired, but a small percentage
of the equipment had been fitted with
the safety devices.
An extension of time was asked for
by the railroads and granted. In fact,
since the law was passed two extern
sions have been granted. The last eX-
tension expires the first of next Jan
uary.
The railroads will ask for an extern
sion of another year on the ground that
