NOT IN SOAP TRUST.

The NIX. Fairbank Company Officers
 Declare They Win Not Go in.
 In an interview today James E.. MeMahon. .ecoud vice president of the V. K. Fsirbsnk company, speak ing officially in behalf of the com pany, expressed himself as follows: We are not identified iu any man her with the movement to combine the leading soap manufacturers AlthoUght such a movement IS well nader NxaS and may e~eetualls vnN> teriaIize. Notwithstanding the con 1 diiions in the soap trade are very badly demoraliZed, the Fairtank company are not seeking or en- couraging any combination of manu- | lecturers as a means of improve ment. Soap prices are relatively ! the lowest ID the history of the trade. The taiiow market has ad- vanced fully cent per pound in the past few months without any core spending improvement in the selling prices of soaps, hence the present movement towards combining in- teTests. Any combination embracing the principal manufacturers in the country might naturally and legiti- mately be in a position to advance soap prices proportionstely to the enhancement Of all raw materials, but beyond this effect on our trade We are positively not interested or concerned in any consolidation of pap interests. We are encouraging our saIesmen in all directions to work with all confidence in the per manent independence of this com pany of all trust affiliations, and we are pleased to state that the soap ! trade continues very brisk. because, aside from the natural effect of the expected combination, the current cost of all raw materials warrants materially higher prices on soaps, and sensible buyers are anticipating future requirements to the full limit of their convenience ID carry ing stock"

Counties Can Now Refund their Bonus In
Aid of Railroads.
Topeka, Sept 1.-State Treasurer
Frank Grimes has decided to give up
all railroad aid bonds, which have run
over ten years, now held in the state
school fund, when they are called for
by the various cour ties, no matter how
the money is raised to pay them. He
formulated q rule a short time ago de-
shining to give mp bonds held in the
school fund unless the money to take
them up was raised by taxation in the
regular wav. In looking up the law he
has found that the state school fund
has no legal right to buy railroad aid
bonds, and he will exempt that class OF
bonds from the rule. A number OF
counties will probably take advantage
Of the modified order and take up their
railroad aid bonds, as they can refund
them Mt lower rate of interest. There
are not many of this kind of bonds,
compared to the total amount of bonds
held in the fund.
