Mis- Anna Held rode into Chicago is
really a sumptuous affair. 1t is now
located in the yards of the Chicago &

comes into the Chicago over the Alton
road from St. Louis at a.. m. The car
is fitted up exactly in the style OF a
modern fiat, containing sitting, dining,
sleeping and kitchen rooms, not omit
ting luxurious bath. In its furnishings
nothing could be desired. Among other
things there is an upright piano in the
sitting room. The car is seVenty-five
feet long.
On entering the visitor is ushered in
to a smoking room, decorated in red.
Emerging from this through small
doorway. he comes into Miss Held 5
sleeping apartment, decorated in ma
genta. Then comes the sitting room,
also finished in red, and then another
sleeping apartment.
Then the dining and other bed room,
and then the kitchen. Through the en-
tire car one can see that the artistic
sense has had full sway, and nothing is
left that luxury or convenience could
desire.
The Held car is located in about the
same place that the Langtry car was
several years ago. Indeed, it is the
identical one, refitted, remodeled and
modernized. 1t is now the sole prop
erty of Miss Anna Held. Miss Held

Monday during the session of the

ed out of the chamber 104 times. He
lost all track of the pending business
and was befuddled all day. He said
last night:
Z regret it very much. but the senate

respond to calls from my constituents,
at the doors. I lose all track of the
proceedings, when in fact, I should be
present every moment of the time dur

$40 FOR KISSING A WIDOW.
Hartman Van Ripper Took Advantage
of Mrs. Lehman While Rent
Collecting.

Paterson, n. J., Feb. 2S.-Hartman
Van Ripper, a wealthy Bergen county
farmer, was fined SO by Judge Barka-
low, in the court of quarter sessions this
morning, for kissing one of his tenants,
a widow, named Lehman against her
will.
Lehman is about 40. Early last month,
while making his tour of rent collec-
ton, Van Ripper called upon Mrs. Leh-
man. He went through the house from
room to room to see whether any re-
pairs were necessary. Mrs. Lehman al
legged that when in one of the bed
rooms he placed his arm around her
waist and kissed her. She said she was
greatly shocked, as her year old
daughter was looking on. Van Riper's
trial lasted day. He denied the charge
with a great show of horror.

things, and the opinion that Mr. Har-,
per has attempted a grab in former
bill accounts for the bitterness against
him in the senate
This was the bill introduced and pass
ed by the house, providing that after
Haskell county had issued $4,000 in
bonds to pay outstanding indebtedness,
that the bonds should be purchased by
the state school fund commissioners at
par.
Now the bonds of Haskell county al
ready owned by the school fund are
defaulted about $1,000 in interest and
principal, and bonds issued by that
county do not have high commercial
rating, in fact several members of the
senate assert that Haskell county bonds
are worth no more than 10 or 20 cents
on the dollar. With this opinion it is
not strange that the senators should
regard Mr.. Harper's bills with suspicion.
The bond bill was an innocent appear
ing measure, but in reality was a very
dangerous bill 1t simply unloaded on
the school fund bonds which could Sc
cure no consideration in the financial
world
When the senate reached Mr.. Har-
pers bills two were left to die on the
calendar. and one was killed outright
by an overwhelming vote against it.

The senate has recommended, In COM

Iieve the farmers of the state from the

elevator men and the combined forces
OF grain buyers

TO believe that what the farmers say
about the action of grain buyers ana
elevator men is untrue, because they
are the class Of men VINO nave most 10
do With that branch OF business
The methods Of buyers which the
farmers seek to destroy is explained
about as follows by Senator Reser
CPopO of Saline county, who is father
ing the bill:
"A farmer is compelled to pay ? cents
a bushel to elevator men and grain
dealers who belong TO this combination.
And. if the farm declines to sell 10 them

squeezed out Of the market That IS

But here Is where the elevator man
gets in his deadly work. He notifies the
Kansas City buyers that this man has
declined 10 sell his wheat at what eVe%
price was named. The Kansas City
buyers offer the farmer Just what he
was offered at home. If he does not &C

what the farmer needs. Thousands of
dollars are annually taken out of the
pockets of the Kansas wheat growers
by these combinations among the men
who finally land the grain on the mar

when conducted on legitimate lines but
when these institutions attempt to reg
expense Of the farmer it seems to me
that the Kansas legislature could do no
better work than to pass the bill which
! have introduced
I am confident this measure will pre-
vent the continued existence Of these
combinations to which 1 refer. OF
course, many people do not know that
such is the practice among grain buy
