kansas City Southern Puts thnt Si'y
ON Same Basis with Houston
Beaumont Ttxas, August 26.-For some
months past and at present Beaumont
merchants have enjoyed cheaper fregh
rate from St. Louis, Kansas City and Cni-
cago than have Houston and Galveston
merchants. This was because the Kan
sas City Southern railroad assumed am
maintained the position tina; 1t was much
the shortest route from said points, and
that it was entitled to the advantage
which short mileage conferred ms
sothern Pacific and o.her trunk Ines
took an opposite view and as result
the Beaumont rate has b en- a distutAln
factor in recent meetings of rate mAAIng
associations. 1t seems that at las the
adverse interests have succeeded 10 d 8

least that system has served notice tina.

Kansas City territory, such rates 10 ex-

There are no apparent grounds for com-
plant at this advance. Beaumont mer-
chants are deprived OF a slight advantage

vantage Is not conferred elsewhere they
should not suffer The unpleasant featue
of the circular is the virtual declaration
that the Kansas City Southern railro1
is no longer 10 be a controlling factor
in making rates into competitive terrific

circular is virtually an admission that the

system is a thing of the past.

APPROACHING A CRISIS.

1t Is hardly possible that the start
ling news from Chez Foo, published yes
terday, TO the effect that Russia. Ger
many and Japan have declared war
against China and invited England and
the United States to withdraw. is cor
rect II 1t were true. 1t would at once
precipitate the most dangerous and far
reaching phases of the whole Eastern
question.
The evidences OF the want of basis for
the news. though It was said to come
on good authority" and was transmit
ted by the Associated Press. were palpa-
bic on its face. Japan is in no position
to ask England and the United-States to
withdraw The mikado's government
must depend upon the Anglo American
people for Its safety against Russia, To

Standing between themselves and 1t is
very certain that the mere restoration
of order In China. or the relief of the
legations and the exaction of a rea-
sonable indemnity for the indIgnities to-
ward foreigners. fall short of the de-
mands that those two nations intend to
make. Russia's independent action al
ready has still further embarrassed the
situation and to declare war now. when
the excuse for 1t has virtually passed
would complicate matters most seriously
But the important fact remains that
no one power or combination OF power
can invite any other interested party &c
withdraw To do SO would be an afiron
that no self-respectng nation would
tamely submit to. The United States
or rather the great majority of the peo-
pie OF the United States, we are very
sure have no purpose TO seize and retain
Chlnese territory. We are not there for
robbery. but we are there. with certain
matters yet to he attended to, and a
demand from any foreign source that VIZ
should get out" would undoubtedly
make us only the more determined to
stay in and see the trouble through.
There is danger ahead. All these lat
ter rumors and Indications at least point
to the outcronping OF International ieal-

On account OF sparsely settled

is why two different sets of schedules
had to be drafted. The commission
has been at work on these schedules
for many weeks. An enormous

St. Cloud Times: A number OF import
ant amendments to the laws of United
States we're enacted by thelast Congress
for the beue6l OF intending settlers. The
most important, perhaps, was the free
homestead act, allowing the entry III
lanc of Indian reservation that have
been open for settlement, without the
payment OF $125 an acre formerly re-
quired. Detail OF this act has been pub
lished. Another very important law on
which the local land offices have but re.
Gently received instructions, is that per.
mitting second homestead entries.
1t provides that WHERE a person has
made a homestead entry and comnuted
that IS to say, paid the government at
the rate Of $1.25 or $2.50:per acre, &C
cording to weather it is minimum OF
double minimum land, after fourteen
months from the date OF fling he is en-.
titled to the benefit of the homestead
law again, rs though the former entry
had not been made. But on the second
entry he caanot commute. but must live
the entire five years on the land if he
wishes to acquire it. The Law also pro-
vjdes. that. where person has made home.
stead entity, brt from any cause has lost
or forfeited the same, he may make all
other entry.
The law doubtless will be OF great ass j.
stance to many through who mission tune
have forfeited their first entries, but II
would appear that it gives an advauagt

Churn and Extractor thoroughly

1t makes the finest butter ever seen
here and in less than five minutes it
gets all CT the butter. 1t places the
farmers on an equality with the best
OF creameries and in our Judgment,
based on our experience. the butter
made on this machine is superior to
the best of creamery butter. We
earnestly recommend this machine
to all butter makers as it will save
them lots of time in making tutter
and the butter will bring the highest
market price after it is made.
