THE WHEAT AND THE RAIN.
Most OF the Central Kansas Wheat Belt
Well Moistened.

Topeka, June 6.-While the state
agricultural department makes no
predictions on the wheat crop, its Off
Gals do not hesitate to say that the
rain was most welcome. Reports re-
ceived by the railroads show that the
rain extended almost entirely over the
wheat belt. On the Rock Island the
rain covered all of the wheat country
except Sumner county. 1t was heavier
in Central Kansas than anywhere else.
This is where the state grows most of
it's wheat. Along the San ia Fe in the
wheat belt every community was
favored with rain. There were only a
few spots where none fell. From New
ton to Great Bend from one to two
inches fell. There was no rain at
Wellington and none from Larned to
Spearville. There was light rain at
Dodge City and an inch and a half at
Jetmore. From Rush Center to Scott
City no rain was reported. There was
heavy rain from Emporia to Newton
and from Marion to Mcpherson and n
heavy rain from Mitchell to Ellinwood.
A heavy rain with hail fell along the
Strong City branch except at Concor-
dia. A light rain was reported at
Chanute.

To Buck the Grain Trust.

Topeka, June G.-There seems to be
general uprising of the farmers of
the state against the so-called grain
trust From almost every section comes
the report of the organization of local
concerns to buck the trust. These
concerns are not all offshoots of the
cooperation concern organized at
Salina recently. They are mostly in
dependent of that. Within the past
thirty days eight companies of this
character have been granted charters
by the state charter board.

THE c. A. R. ENCAMPMENT.
A New Deal Secured in the Elec-
ton OF All Officials,
SCHOOL HISTORY CONDEMNED

Junction City, Kas, June l0.-The
election of officers of the Kansas Grand
Army seems to have been in the nature
of contest between the exofiicers and
the ex-privates and the privates won
the battle all along the line. A. W.
Smith headed the list OF candidates
put out by the officers and Martin Ma
ton that of the privates ticket, for
the place of department commander,
and Nation was chosen. With him, on
the same ticket, the following were
elected Senior vice commander, Ma
jor j. b. Remington, Osawatomie;
Junior vice commander, b, f. Pealer,
Salina; Chaplain, &. L. Smith, Win
field medical director, n. w. Hayes,
Abilene.
Smith. it is universally conceded,
was defeated on account of the desire
for a new deal, not because there was
anything against him personally.
Fort Scott was chosen for the en-
campment of 1902, and Hutchinson for
the reunion of 1901.
The resolutions adopted by the de-
partment were tame. The plank in
reference to pension commissioner
reads:
Resolved, That we, the comrades OF
the Kansas G.. A. r., do most earnest
ly request the president to appoint as
commissioner of pensions for the en-
suing term one who will construe the
laws in the spirit in which they We're
enacted and administer the laws ac-
cording to the order and rules of evil
dence.
The history used in the public schools
of Kansas was condemned in unmeas-
ured terms and committee of five was
authorized to urge the text book com
mission to get new one.
The department accepted an invita-
ton from Republic county to attend
the laying of the cornerstone of the
monument to mark the spot in Repub-
lie county where Pike raised the Uni
ted States flag in 1906 This will occur
July4, and the unwilling will be held
September 20, 1901.

In answer to petition of residents
along the line of the Concord and
White River Junction division of the
Boston 4 Maine Railroad, arrange.
ments have been perfected whereby
commencing June IA, the accommoda-
tion train from Concord to White
River Junction will leave Concord
about two hours earlier, reaching the
Junction at 1.5O. The mail car from
Boston will be attached to this train.
If the Central Vermont changes its
time as it undoubtedly will, this
would bring the Boston mail into
Montpelier at so p. M, and, when
on time, the mail would be changed
and ready for delivery at the Montpe-
lier post otfice by $50 p. m. Business
men of Montpelier would greatly ap-
preciate this earlier service. 1t
would necessitate Postmaster Shedd
re-arranging his entire carrier 'and
rural delivery service and the star
routes along the Central Vermont
and Montpelier would receive their
mail much earlier in the afternoon

If all the 'ifs" are eliminated and
the above mentioaed schedule should

BOOZE SELLERS
". 5. Seicenses VIII ba Chief
Evidence

Burlington, May S.-Sheriff Reeves
served last evening citations and petit
tions for temporary injunction upon
six places where it is alleged intoxi-
eating liquor has been kept and sold.
They were as follows:
David Lavoie and George Demo,
place on the west side Of Lafountain
street numbered 43.
Tony Rose and Thomas Cushing,
building on the west side of lower
College street.
Sarah Murphy, bottling works on
the east side OF Pitkin street.
George J. Lasse, place at No. 307
On the east side of St. Paul street.
Edward Limoges, place at No. l9l
on the south side of North street.
Alfred Romprey, house near Fort
Ethan Allen.
The citations are of the same var
iety as those served in such numbers
In this city and vicinity one year ago
last September. They require the
appearance of those upon whom they
are served at the fall term of court to
show why the injunctions shall not be
permanently issued against the places
named and are considered very unde-
.Sirable additions to the equipment Of
q place In which liquor is sold.
There is ground for the expectation
that the list given will have additions
which will make the present number
a small one in comparison before any
long period of time has passed.
Judge Taft who vas present at the
opening of chancery court yesterday
at which Chancellor Stafford presided
showed considerable knowledge of
the places now holding United States
licenses in this city and while he is
now presiding this knowledge may be
used f n the enforcement of the law.
The possess on of United States

King
J.P. MORGAN
Keep English on The Anxious
Seat

London, May 8. - simultaneously
with yesterdays meeting Of the Ley
land Line shareholders to vote upon
the agreement with Mr.. j. Pierpont
Morgan comes a reiteration of the
statement that the Morgans are about
to acquire the Red Star Line, as well
as the Atlantic Transport Line.
The American Line officials here,
however, deny the report that Mr..
Morgan has acquired the Red Star
Line.
The Leyland Line stockholders
unanimously confirmed the Morgan.
Ellerman agreement
1t is reported that Mr.. Morgan is
having two steamers built, exclusively
for tirst-class passengers between New
York and England, and on scale OF
magnifcence exceeding anything hith-
erto attempted.
j. Pierpont Morgan remains an orge
for the sensational British press, and
Mr.. Carnegie's forecasts of the devel-
opment of American industrial re-
sources are printed in the largest
type.
The consolidation of railways and
shipping interests of the Atlantic and
Pacific seaboards, with the possibility
that one capitalist can fix through
rates and ocean transportation is now
stock theme with financial writer's
in England who display remarkable
credulity in accepting elastic state
ments of the ulterior purposes of
America smulti.m .millionaireS.
At the same time they deplore
English inability to form counter
combinations. Brooks Adams views
Oh a trade war between continent and
continent are also quoted in many
journals. Prob .bly there has never
been a time when American resources
for organization ana competition have
been equally dreaded in England, but
the bulk Of the press writing at the
present is i'll considered and 1.-THE i'm
portance of Mr.. Nlorgan's operations
is grossly exaggerated.
Brussels, May Sit is reported here
that the announcement that the
Morgans have purchased the Red Star
line Is correct
London, Nay S-Referring to Chat
fees pro- Britain speech at Pekin the
Pail Mall Gazette says today: "The'
speech does him credit and is one in
which we fullv reciprocate. The
truth is that If Morgan and his BROTH
er fnanciers continue as they have
been doing OF late they will soon buy
up the empire and there will be no
chance for war"
