Atchison, KS, Jan. l3,-Judge Hook,
OF the United States district court for
Kansas, issued restraining order pre-
venting Mrs. Ermina c, Butters from
garnisheeing the wages of her divorced
husband, for alimony. Buffers mar
ried again and set up q claim that his
wages could not be garnisheed for ali
mony as he needed all his salary for
maintenance of his second family.
The city court of Atchison released
the garnishment. The district court
held that the decree for alimony was a
higher obligation than debt, and did
not come within the exemption law.
Judge Hook now upholds the city
court.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-Woman labor is to
be abolished in all factories where
building material is produced in Chica-
go, If II resolution passed by the Build
ing Material Trades council can be
made effective. The resolutions pro-
vide that each of the organizations
affiliated with the council demand that
q clause be inserted in all union con-
tracts hereafter specifying that no wo-
man be employed in the shops. There
are now $500 women at work in the,
various factories, for the most part as
metal polishers and buffers and on
plumbers supplies. The principal
reason given for the action of the coun,
Gil is that the work is totally unfit for
women. 1t is said, however, that the
council fears that there is an effort
being made by the manufacturers grad
unlly to displace the men in favor of
uhe cheaper woman labor.

KRAMER DEFEATS COOPER.


NEW YORK, June 24-Fully six thousand
persons who visited the vailsburg track.
Newark, to-day saw Frank Kramer, the
amateur champion of 1899, defeat Tom
Cooper, the professional champion Of 1893.
In the two remaining heats of their match
race, the first heat of which was run on
June 10. Kramer won by pure speed. As they
crossed the tape in both heats Kramer was
but a few inches in the lead of Cooper. Tom
had all his speed, which he proved by his
great victory in the half mile open, in
which Kramer failed to qualify. Mcfarland
divided honors with the others, winning the
five-mile handicap.
Pace-makers were put in TO pace the
heats of the one mile open, which put a
stop TO the usual loafing in the half-mile
events. Close finishes marked each heat.
Mcfarland beat Kramer out in a hair-rais-
ing finish that brought the audience to
their feet. Cooper and Freeman came down
the stretch like a double team with the ad-
vantage in favor of the Detroiter. Stevens
beat Jay Eaton in the third heat by a very
close margin, while Johnny Fisher beat out
Harry Downing. In the extra heat for sec
ond man Freeman showed Eaton the way
across the tape. In the fve-mile handicap
Mcfarland came to the front at the bel.
and sprinted the last quarter. warding off
repeated attempts of Eaton, Newhouse and
Kramer to go around him. The time, 10:52
is within four seconds of the record. Sum-
maries:
One mile open professional: Final heat
won by Cooper, Mcfarland second. Fisher
third, II. b. Freeman fourth. Time, Pill.
One mile match race, best two in three

The general traffic manager of one of

indeed nothing of the kind should ever be

of this is the usual June con-
dition. and will be entirely changed be-
fore September. In obtaining business we
have taken no unfair advantage of Compel
itors. all our dealings with them being
perfectly square. In regard to the rate sit
uation / can say that west-bound rates
are being absolutely maintained. Shippers
have made all sorts of efforts to secure
concessions, but without avail. For six
months there has been no break. East
bound rates are not in such satisfactory
shape apparently, yet our Western repre-
sentatives state that no new business is
being received by any of the roads at cut
rates. although some business contracted
for at cut rates months ago is now NOV
ing. Western freight men are themselves
largely to blame for their troubles, as they
had no difficulty to contend with that We
do not meet East in one shape or another.
If New York officials were moved west
ward and Western officials to the East
we would soon hear that the east-bound
situation is all right and the west-bound
rates were going to pieces. The volume of
passenger business is enormous. People
travel for two purposes. for business or for
pleasure; assuming that they are travelling
for business. then IL is pretty clear that
some business Is yet being done. while. on

AND RUHLIN.


NEW YORK, June 24.-The next fight OF
Importance will be that between Tom Shar-
key and Gus Rubin. to take place here
on Tuesday. In their last meeting Sharkey
knocked Rubin out with a single punch.
This time many of the best experts think
Rubin may turn the table On the burly
sailor. Outside of this match between
Rubin and Sharkey there is little doing
among the big fellows of the pugilis;ic
world.
Corbett. Mccoy. Fitzsimmons and Jeffries
are wholly without engagements. 1t is true
that Jeffries says he stands ready 10 fight
any or all of them between now and the
time that fighting ceases in New York, but
the conditions imposed upon most of the
eligible ones were of a prohibitive kind.
The winner of the Sharkey-Ruhlin battle
will demand a fight. In fact. II was unnec-
essary for Sharkev TO win this bout 70 get
a match with Jeffries. for a set of articles
signed by the champion have been waiting
the sailors signature for some time.
Tom has a vivid recollection of the trip
hammer blows that cracked his ribs and
bruised his face and neck last November.
and these memories have thus far kept him
from touching pen 20 paper. III Rubin has
any fears OF Jeffries or nybody else they
Sharkey. which Is improbable. he can and
will get a match with the champion soon
afferward. Meantime, the public has be-
come somewhat weary Of the long wrangles
and attention has turned to the boxers who
do less talking and more lighting.

A DECREASE In TONNAGE
LOADED CAR MOVEMENT BELOW
THE AVERAGE OF LATE MONTHS.
The Lake Erie q western to Resume
alton Said TO BE Improving.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at indianapolis in
the week ended June % a total OF 26. III
cars. 20.053 being loaded. 215 fewer than
were handle at this point in the preceding
week and 1,7s1 fewer than in the cerre-
spending week of 1899. TIL Big -Four proper
handled at this point $50 fewer loaded cars,
the Pennsylvania lines 20S fewer, the Van
dalia 81, and the Monon and the Peoria &
Eastern both show quite a falling OF in
loaded car movement. The Lake Erie &
Western shows an increase of "a cars, and
the Indiana, DecaSur & Western an in
crease Of So. The falling off is chiefly in
the grain movement east and of high-class
freights west bound. Eastward the ship
ments OF live stock, dressed meats, produce
and provisions are in excess OF those or
June. 1899. and export shipments of hog
products and four increased somewhat last
week. The cerealine mills are not as
heavy shippers rs at the corresponding
period last year. West-bound shipments
of coke. railway supplies, iron structural
work and heavy groceries are still heavy,
and the tonnage of transcontinental line
freights In both directions is heavier than
usual I'm a summer month, but with each
year this line of traffic increases percepti-
bly,. Locally. in outbound freights, the
shipments of merchandise. machinery,
furniture, vehicles and produce are in ex-
cess of former years. In June usually
many Of the manufacturers shut dow or
curtail their production in some manner
but this year thus far has been a graft
flying surprise. Local packing houses are
killing more hogs and cattle than in any
former year, and, taking the combined
business of the two stockyards, more stock
is being handled than last year. Unbound
business is much less satisfactory, largely
owing 10 the cessation of street improve
ments, pending litigation The table below
shows the number of loaded cars handled
at this point for the week ending June %,
and for the corresponding weeks of 1899
and 1898.
