Fort Scott, presented a petition to the
commissioners of Shawnee county ask
ing for a right of way along one of the
public thoroughfares for an electric
line to run between Topeka and Law

to build line to Lawrence to connect
with line from that place to Kansas

which owns the Recommendations

project. The commissioners have taken
the matter under advisement.

Topeka. Nov. 13.-It is the opinion
of tbs supreme court that the Traders
Live Stock association, which operates
at the Kansas City stock yards is not
trust. The Farmers Live Stock asso-
citation secured an injunction in the Wy
andotte county district court against the
Traders exchange preventing it from
fining its members from dealing with
outside firms 1t was claimed also that
the exchange had also raised its MEM
bership fee to $500 for the purpose of
keeping the membership as small as
possible. 1t was held by the supreme
court that the exchange was mutual
association and that, as its rules affect
ed only its members directly, outside
firms could not be vitality injured by
them. For that reason the injunction
was dissolved.

ROLLING STOCK SCARCITY.
Manufacturing Contracts Running
Past Next Midsummer.
WELL SUSTAINED ACTIVITY

New York, Nov. is.--R. q. Dun &
Co. weekly review of trade says:
A few months ago injury to the corn
crop aroused fears that the railroads
would be seriously handicapped by the
loss of tonnage; yet the season of grain
traffic has not only failed to produce de-
creased earnings, but there is such
scarcity of rolling stock and motive
power that numerous indutries are
badly demoralized In so far as these
interests are affected the lack of corn
freights proves n blessing. Railway
earnings in October were ia per cent
greater than last year, and PIP per
cent over 1899, while those roads re-
porting for the first week of November
showed an average gain of D.S per cent.
A healthy demand is reported through
out the country in all leading lines of
goods have attained normal proportions
and holiday business promises to sur
pass all records. In manufacturing
there was never before such well sus-
tanned activity, with contracts running
past the middle of next year. This is.
especially true in the case of steel rails
and many other products of iron, while
in building material, footwear and
most textile branches, there. is little
prospect of difficulty in making collec-
tions satisfactory in most sections.
Bank exchanges in New York for the
week were 81 per cent larger than a
rear ago, and 32.1 per cent over 1899,
while at other leading cities the gains
were 1912 and 0.9 respectively.
Failures for the week number rs in
the United States against 217 last year.
and 81 in Canada against 80 last year.

Cherokee Cash.

Tahlequah, 1. T., Nov. l6.-Chief
Burlington, in his annual message tells
of the finances of Cherokees, thus:
The commissioner of Indian affairs
advises me that we now have in the
treasury of the United States to our
credit derived from the collection of
royalties, the sum of $3.50, 2Ss. 90 and
suggest that sufficient amount of this
fund be used for the purpose mentioned
above.
''The Cherokee nation has money
now deposited in the United States
treasury as follows; Asylum fund,
S64, 147.17; general fund, 1,49s, 543.@l;
orphan fund, 1914, 679.3l; school fund,
1851, 1921. Total, S2,719, 2sS.90.
These funds bear five per cent in
terest. In addition we have to our
credit in the United States treasury
from the collection of royalties, $3.50
2sS. 30. The United States Indian agent
at Muskogec has received S215, 1879

ssessm ents And Levies.

Topeka, Nov. 16.-The legislative
tax commission framed two separate
bills covering the assessment and taxa
ton. One is devoted wholly to assess
ment and the other to levies. The
purpose of the first bill is to get more
equitable assessment of all classes of
property in the state. If this is done
the commission figures that the present
assessment will be doubled The pur-
pose of the bill limiting the levies is to
reduce the levies accordingly In other
words, if the assessment is doubled
then the levies will be cut in two.

Washington, Nov. ls.--It was an
nounccd at the war department that

desirable to make adinterim appoint

and in view of the great pressure that
has been brought to bear, it has been
deemed proper TO make an official
declaration.
The president has not hesitated to
inform senators and others who have
applied to him that no officer will inn
prove his chances 10y sending his friends

On the contrary, the effect which will

1t is fully recognized by public Off
Gals that the proper men in the first

and it is eminently just and proper
that their influence should be respect

Chicago, Nov. H. On a charge OF a
contempt of court, Judge llancey SEN
fenced Andrew NJ. Lawrence, manag-
ing editor of Hearsts Chicago Ameri-
can, to forty days in the county Jail.
The sentence of II. S. Garfield, who
wrote the article Objectionable to the
court, was fixed at thirty days in Jail.
The case of the financial manager of
the paper and the assistant city editor,
We're dismissed. Judge IIancey de-
clared that the case against w. X.
Hearst, majority stakeholder of the
paper, and two cartoonists, would pend
until such time until these respondents
could be brought into court by the
sheriff.
The article in the American upon
which the proceedings in contempt
were based was criticism of the
courts decision ON an application for
Gas, Light and Coke company. Judge
Hancey said if the matter published
were allowed to go unnoticed by the
court it paved the way for other at
tacks and that the judiciary, if not
held in respect, would fall, with all
democratic government. The article,
the court declared, was not merely an
attack on the people and on the court,
but a bold threat to every other court.

The committee on order of business
recommended that the convention select

Oklahoma for this purpose consists Of
Ex-Governor Barnes, Thomas Doyle
and Charles f. Barrett.
The most important feature of the
resolution, hailed with delight by In
dian Territory, was as follows:
Resolved, That we are opposed to
the admission to statehood of Oklahoma
with any part of the Indian Territory
trcked on and the taking into of said
state the Indian Territory by piece
meal, but we demand the admission of
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory as
a whole, according to their present
boundaries; that we are unalterably
opposed to single statehood between
Oklahoma and Indian Territory except
upon absolute equality to point OF rep
resentation, based upon population;
that the lands in the Indian Territory
be allotted to the individual Indians of
the several tribes Immediately and fee
simple title issued to said lands, ana
the allottees be allowed to dispose of
their lands other than their homesteads
