A million dollars for straw berries is
the record for the North Carolina ship
pers, and other sections Of the middle
South nave doIe relatively well. The
magnitude Of the trucking business is
little appreciated by the average read

portatlon, this often going far to eat
mp all the profits This is a great
problem with berry growers and fruit

MILL TURNS ROUND.
Batch of Jointists Are Turned Out
Into q Cruel World.

There was a large crowd of jointisfs and
their friends at the police court yesterday
at oclock, because all of the arrests
made on August q were set for a hearing
at that time Most of the cases were dis
missed. because there was no evidence
lot made under the new order which was
to Arrest the jointists whether or not suffi-
Gent evidence had been secured to con-
vict them.
The cases dismissed were against Geo.
Buford, Geo. Klauer, Larry SheehaEs o.
Kempton, Wood Fowler, Bob Shelby, Ed
Ryan, c. H. Wheeler, Harry Clark H
The dismissals were not for every case
against these men, for they have been ar
rested almost every day since August H.
but 1t was for the case of that day only.
Three of the cases were continued De-
cause the city thinks it has evidence
against them which will convict. These
were the cases against Wade Watts, F.
Murphy and Billie Wiley, and they were
set for August 81
The case against Ed Timon, Geo. Ander-
son and Buck" Campbell came to trial,
and resulted in the discharge of T1mon

TICKET IL YEARS OLD.
Man Tries to Ride on Santa Fe Ticket
Purchased For Him When Boy.

A singular case involving the rights of
holder of a half-fare, unlimited, ticket
developed recently on the Santa Fe line.
1t was on an eastbound train from San
Francisco, and the conductor, while col
lecting tickets, was given the return
portion of a half-fare, or child's excur-
sion, ticket from Kansas City to San
Francisco. The holder of the ticket was
a young man about % years of age. The
conductor looked at him, smiled, and
asked:
You don't expect to ride on this tick
ct, do you ?"
why not? 1t is an unlimited ticket
and bought it in Kansas City eleven
years ago"
The conductor examined it more care
fully and found that it bore the stamp
of the Santa F'e Office at Kansas City
and was dated April IL, 1889. 1t was,
moreover, as the young man had said, an
unlimited ticket.
buying it, the conductor said, but you
were kid then and now you're a man
can't let a man ride on a child's tick
ct. You must put up the other half in
cash or get off the train"
But let me explain. My father put
up nearly 800 for that ticket eleven
years ago and your company has had the
use of $50 of it for all that time without
rendering any service to him or me for
whom he bought it If have to pay the
extra half fare, am I not entitled to a
credit in the shape of interest on that
$50 for eleven years?''
I'm not cracking those kind of nuts. .

man ana you have got to have a mans
ticket or pay full fare"

SCALE MEN CALLED UP
Before Police Court Because They Do
Not Use City Weighing Slips.

Four men were called into police court
Monday afternoon on warrants sworn
out by Tax Collector Bailey who charged
the men with violating the city ordi-
nance which requires that all owners Of
team scales who desire to weigh for
Others shall purchase a book from the
city containing 100 weighing slips, and
that for every load weighed for other
parties they shall issue slip These
books cost IS. The ordinance makes it
an offense to weigh without the book
and makes it an additional offense to fail
to issue a slip.
The men who were called before the
court were: Richard HargraveS, c. G.
Nicholson, S. c. Swartz and Alexander
& Goodfellow. Each stated that he was
ignorant of violating any ordinance and,
at the request of Mr.. Bailey, they were
let off by paying the cost of the cases,
which they were very glad to do. The
judge Informed them that such leniency
would not be shown again and warned
them to never again be brought before
him on that charge.
Mr.. Bailey says that he has had a
scales, that they have only laughed at
him when he told them they were not
complying with the city ordinance, and
that he had determined to make an ex-
ample of some of them The city has
scales on both sides of the river for the
benefit of people who do weighing and
do not own scales. The weighing by pri-
vate scales without using the city books
means quite loss to the city's revenue.

MIR. WELLER GETS 4 WATCH.
Late Master Mechanic of Central
Branch Remembered.

Atchison, Aug. 2S.-One hundred en-
ployes of the Central branch shops were
present at the offices of Drs. Boyle and
Finney, when DR.. Finney, on their be-
half, presented c. w. Weller, late mas
ter mechanic of the shops, with four
teen carat watch chain and Masonic
emblem charm. The emblem is studded
with diamonds and precious stones, and
the present is a splendid tribute to Mr..
Weller, who had come up from Pittsburg,
where he is now located as master
mechanic of the Kansas City Southern,
to arrange for the removal of his family
to that place
DR.. Finney made an appropriate pre-
sentation speech, and Mr.. Weller accept
ed the gift in an equally clever talk. He
is exceedingly popular among the shop
men, and it is already announced that
several will follow him to Pittsburg. In
1887 before coming to Atchison, Mr..
Weller was presented with a fine watch
by the employees of the NJ, <. & T. shops
at Parsons.

Cotton Also Moving Over Gulf
Line of Santa Fe.

Galveston, Tex, Aug. 2s-Mr. w. c.
Nixon. general superintendent of the
Gulf. Colorado & Santa F'e railway, to-
day said there was very decided in
crease in movement of Texas grain
toward Galveston and that Kansas grain
is now moving this way. There are now
200 cars of Kansas grain en- route via
the Santa Fe route for Galveston. The
cotton movement is also setting in and
Mr.. Nixon thinks it will soon be in full
blast. This makes it all the more neces-
sary to get quick action on grain.
Grain is now coming into Galveston
at the rate of about 100 cars with pros
poets that the figures will be consider
ably above the century mark next week.
There is approximately 100000 bushels
of grain in the elevators, about 1,000,0 900
bushels short of their capacity.

SANTA FE INDEPENDENT.
Will Accept Orders For Grain Deliv-
cries Only as is Seen Fit

Kansas City, Aug. 2s.-The Santa Fe
yesterday gave nomtice that hereafter
it could not accept shippers orders on
grain for delivery to connecting lines ex-
cept as subject to the ability of the
Santa Fe to effect such deliveries.
and with due regard for the protection
of it's equipment.
This virtudally makes shippers orders
for grain deliveries subject to the wishes
of the Santa Fe in the matter and
broadens the scope of the roads ruling
far beyond that originally made. which
affected only deliveries to the Alton, Ma
pie Leaf, Rock Island and Burlington,
the latter of which roads was afterwards
excepted from the effect of the ruling.
From the viewpoint of the Santa Fe
people this action seems to be the only
sensible one to take in view of all the
conditions. There is an undoubted con-
gestion of grain in the Kansas City
yards, though none Of the lines is block
aded There is also decided shortage
of equipment. These are two very i'm
portant considerations, and a third is
that the Santa F'e has not this crop year
carried anything like it's fair proportion
of grain tonnage east from here, al
though it is the greatest grain -originat-

given, the name of the young man being
Charles A De Courcy He said he would
present a claim against the Santa Fe on
his return from an eastern trip
Local passenger men,to whom the case
was presented, say the conductor took
the proper stand and that the young
man has no legal or equitable claim
against the company. A railroad ticket
is contract, and both parties to it must
comply with the terms and conditions
provided on it. A childs ticket calls
for child passenger, and the moment
the holder ceases to comply with this
condition the ticket is not good for pas
sage so far as he is concerned. AS rail-
road companies do not agree to pay in
terest when redeeming unused tickets.
the absurdity of claim of this kind is
readily seen. The prospects are that
Mr. De Courcy will keep his receipt as
an odd souvenir of an odd railroad jour-
new.
