CATTLEMEN WIN
GIVE BETTER RATE
For Feeding in Transit and Accept
Selling Weights.

The conference arranged between the
Kansas cattlemen and railroads at To-
peka yesterday resulted in the differences
being adjusted. The railroads gave the
cattlemen a pasturage or feeding in
transit rate, but declined TO restore the
old carload rate.
The roads propose to abolish the weigh
ing system of which the cattlemen COM
plain and accept the weights at the Kan
sas City stockyards, by which the cat
tie are sold. The roads also promise to
take up the individual cases complained
OF and make an effort to right wrongs
which may exist.
The conference ended by general
Misunderstanding despite the fact that some
OF the cattlemen charge that nothing has
been gained for the fat stock shipper and
that the agreement reached is a compro-
mise in which the cattlemen surrendered.
The railroad men claim they have met
the cattlemen more than half way and
made important concessions.
The litigation which the cattlemen in
augurated recently viii be pushed vigor-
ously, meanwhile they will take advan
tage Of the concessions which the roads
have made

FINE DOG IN COURT
Arnholz- Wilson Dog Case Continued
Until March e


The case of the state against r. NJ.
Wilson. charged with stealing Fritz Arm
holz's bird dog, was called in the city
court yesterday morning, but was put off
until p. m. on account of the absence
of the dog. Judge Kirk instructed Mr..
Wilson to bring the dog into court, and
in the afternoon his dogship appeared as
an interested and all-wise participant in
the case. This time, however, one OF the
witnesses for the state failed to appear,
and Judge Kirk again postponed the case
until March q when it is expected it will
again come up in all its fury. Fritz Arm
holz declares it is his dog, and Professor
Wilson (colored) claims the dog is his
property and he will use the dog as a
witness in the case. He will demonstrate
before the court such tricks as he has
taught the dog, and ask TO have the
dogs tricks admitted as competent testi-
mony on his side Of the case. Mr.. Miller
is his attorney, while Mr.. Comfy is prose-
cutting the case for the state and Mr..
Arnholz. Pending the trial of the case
Marshal Tom Voss is in charge Of the
dog Prof Wilson objected to anybody
taking the dog, but Judge Kirk issued
an order 10 the effect that the court
should hold the dog until the case was
settled. Tom Voss IS mad because he
has to take good care of the dog and fol-
low as closely as possible Prof. Wilson'S
instructions.
Prof. Wilson IS a school teacher and
has taught in Oklahoma colored schools
for the past eight years until this winter.
In 1898. he says, ne got this dog in Okla
honna and brought her 10 his home here.
She is a fine dog and ne was very proud
Of her. Afterwards the dog got away
and he did not see anything Of her until
a few weeks ago when he saw it at the
corner Of Douglas and Fourth avenues.
He knew at once that II was his dog.
and he began 70 test Il 70 see Il it would
do the tricks ne had Taught it. The dog
did the tricks and he picked 1t up and
took Il home. A few days ago. he says,
the dog got away again and he saw no
more of It until Wednesday, when he
noticed it in charge Of a couple OF boys
He took the deg from them and Mr. Arm
holz raised a big storm about it and had
him arrested for theft Wilson has

NEW SHOE HOUSE
Will ]. Stewart Will Start a
Wholesale Business.
HAS BOUGHT BUILDING
Now Occupied by Wicker
sham & SmaIIey.

Mr.. VIII ]. Stewart yesterday bought
the Wickersham & Smalley building on
North Topeka avenue for g, 800. He will
soon make use of it as a location for a
wholesale boot and shoe house. Although
he will himself use the building, Mr..
Stewart says that he bought it as an in
vestment also, as he has the utmost con-
hdence in the future of Wichita
The building is a two-story brick, Is
feet wide by 40 feet long. It was built
several years ago. Jett & Wood COM
menced their business there and occupied
it until they moved into their new build
ing Since then it has been occupied by
Wickersham & Smalley, who started a
new wholesale grocery last fall.
In the near future Mr.. Stewart expects
his stock Of goods to come in and he will
then be ready for business. He will carry
a complete line OF boots and shoes and
will be a distributing agent for rubber
goods.
Mr.. Stewart was seen by a reporter for
I4iO II65tO yesterday anu SdlO. L dI1 go
ing 10 open a wholesale shoe house and
will carry a full line Of everything in
that line. My goods will all be bought
directly from the eastern manufacturers
and Will be my own brands. My plans
as yet have not been fully completed. but
shall put statesmen On the road and do
a regular wholesale business.
Il have had twenty years experience in
the shoe business. Sixteen years ago I
entered the employ of the Phelps, Dodge
& Palmer Co. This firm was succeeded
by the Edwards-Stanwood Shoe Co., with
whom continued in the same capacity as
general salesman.
Wichita is the best town that 1 know
Of. I have lived here for the past twenty
one years and am firm believer in the
greatness Of her future. I am going to
put my money in here and never expect
to regret having made the investment
The steady growth and Importance of
Wichita as a wholesale point is surpris-
ing. Every week either a new business
is started or inquiries are made for
business openings in the wholesale lines.
The large eastern houses are watching
Wiohita's smoke and if the new railroads
now contemplated should be built within
a year, the wholesale business of this
city will be tripled. Mr.. Stewart will
doubtless do a large business here.

For many years Scotland Neck has
borne the name of model town in
almost every respect. For two or three
years past, however, it has been a COM
mon remark by some Of our best peo-
pie that the morals of some of the boys
and young men are becoming question
able. There Is prevailing opinion
that there is some ground to fear that
all our people are not as free from GER

cate. At any rate something has
