The Big Corn Crop In Sight
Causes Old Corn Holders
To Dispose of Their Stored Up
Grain of 1896.
OUT IN SMITH COUNTY
Many Thousands of Bushels Sold
Last Week.
But Perhaps 10000 Bushels
Remain In Cribs.

Smith Center, July 29.-Parties who
have been holding corn for the past
three years are selling out
The Smith County National bank was
the first to dispose of a big crib. Then
followed the Chicago Lumber company
last week, closing out $4,000 bushels of
old corn. all they had in this city, to the
grain firm of A. c. Davis & Co. j. r.
Burrow also sold 10000 bushels cribbed
in this city to Kansas City parties. The
price paid was close to % cents per
busheI. All of the corn, which is in the
ear, will be run through the Hall eleva-
tor of the city, and shelled and loaded
into cars for shipment.
The corn sold was of the SO crop,
bought at from IL to IA cents, and been
held for three years. After deducting
the taxes, shrinkage, etc, the parties
have made a fair margin on the invest
ment, though no big thing.
The drop in the grain markets, with
the prospects of another big corn crop
in sight, is what FASTENED the parties to
unload.
But much as has been sold, there is
more left in and about town. ]. r.
Burrow has still on hand about 1000
bushels, Charlie Johnson of Oskaloosa,

BIG RAILROADS RACE.
Burlington and Northwestern Striving
For Possession of a Pass
Through Rockies.

ogden, Utah, July Acknowledgements
in the railroad situation are coming out
slowly at this end of the transcontinen-
tai race for an outlet for one or two
of the great railroad organizations.
A month ago there was a surveying
party of the Burlington road let off the
Union Pacific at Granger, and there
they were QUILTED with wagons, tent
age, provisions, etc, for a long trip
across the country. From that time I'M
til today there has never been &. word
heard from them and many have been
the cOnjectures as to their wherea bouts.
This morning General superintendent
Calvert and Chief Engineer Ensign of
the Burlington, whose presence here
yesterday caused considerab BILE stir left
by wagon for the east, though they
gave out as their destination the south.
They followed the line Of the Union Pa
cific for 40 miles and then started for
the direction of one of the passes which
permit the entrance of a railroad into
this section of the country.
Working this way from Granger have
been the engineer corps, which disap-
peaFed from Granger, and by tomorrow
the parties will have met, the survey
ing party having covered 100 miles
This is on the line of survey which
has often been contemplated by both
the Northwestern and the Burlington,
and it appears now the Burlington will
endeavor to get a good lead on the
Northwestern by this move.

WESTERN LEAGUE STANDING.
TRUTH NOT In MEL.
Joint Witnesses Have No Regard For
Their Oath

1.-THE trouble about convicting joint
lists for selling liquor is that the person
who swears to the complaint must
know that liquor was sold. who bought
it and who paid for it, said Police
Judge Guy today.
People who are summoned as wit
nesses think it smart to lie about it.
For instance to convict a man of keep
ing a place where liquor IS sold seems
easy. While we all know that a man
sells liquor still few can swear to it and
the majority of persons who buy liquor
in such places perjure themselves. The
only way I know to stop this is to con-
Wet two or three of perjury. One wit
ness testified in a. case that he fire.
quented joints and was employed by
some to play the piano, but that he
never drank any liquor and never saw
any sold. That is not reasonable. If he
did not drink he would certainly see
others drink.
There is an ordinance which says a
man may be deemed a vagrant and ar
rested as such when found in a place
where liquor is sold or drank. That
would be a good ordinance to enforce.
The fine is from 81 to S100. The same
ordinance also applies to disorderly
houses. The enforcing Of this ordinance
would tend to discourage the patronage
Of such places and with no patronage
they would not exist These people do
not have to advertise. They open their
places and patrons come without solicit
tation."

WESTERN UNION SUED.

Criminal Carelessnes

Wichita, July 29-In the district court
here today Mrs. E. L. Leavitt a milli-
ner of Esbon, brought suit against the
Western Union Telegraph company for
5000, alleging that the company
through gross carelessness in the nom
delivery of a message, is directly re-
sponsible for the death of two of her
children and for injuries to herself from
which she has been an invalid for near
ly two years.
She says that while on ner way from
Esbon to Ponca City. Ok, in Septem-
Der, 1897. her son, Earl Leavitt, aged g.
became i'll at Arkansas City. She tele-
graphed to a Ponca City liveryman to
meet her at the station with a carriage
The Western Union clerk at Ponca City
put the message in an envelope ad-
dressed to Mrs. Leavitt instead of to
the cabman and it was never delivered.

WRECK at WEAVER
Added to the Kindling Wood Depart
ment of the Santa Fe.

The wrecking train which has been to
Weaver clearing up the remains of the
accident to freight train No. IS. which
ran into an open switch early Thursday
morning, returned to Topeka yesterday
afternoon. From the looks Of the dam
aged cars and engine and the amount
of broken and twisted parts of cars, the
accident must have been very severe.
Four freight cars were brought in
which will probably be given over to
the kindling wood department, while
the engine with considerable overhaul
ing, four new wheels, a new stack, new
cab, new steam chests pilot. and sun
dry other new additions too numerous
to mention, will be ready again to go
on the road. From the looks of the
wrecked engine, it is almost a miracle
that the engineer and fireman escaped.
