SHERlFFS TO PAY LOBBY
Hold Meeting to Look After Legis-
Iativa aExnenses.

The sheriffs of Kansas had a meeting
here yesterday to attend to business mat
terS-the business matters were in refer
ence to making assessments for the ex-
penses attached to the lobby which was
here during the session of the legislature
The lobby had to have Its expenses and
the sferiffs We're only too willing to put
up the amount providing the biennial
election law will stick
The sheriffs in the stae got out mighty
we'll in the last session. the parole Of
that they would still get their fees for
watching the prisoners who were parolec
from the Reform school and the peniten-
tiary, but, best of all. they got the bien-
NAL election bill through, and that meant
that they would have an extended term of
one year on the office which they now
hold. OF course that did not affect the
officers who were holding their first terms
serving the second term, but they were all
affected to a certain extent, and that ex-
tent was enough to make them all favor
the biennial election law.
They were interested in the biennial
law so much that they talked of nothing
else If Mr. Carver decides that the law
is unconstitutional the sheriffs propose to
show Mr.. Carver that they are from Mis-
term of office without an effort, and they
will stand pat until the case is decided
by the supreme cOurt-and that IS where
it will go if the men who think they can
get the nomination for county office in
their respective counties want to push it
that far
AS it stands now, the sheriffs are very
well satisfied and they are willing to let
the matter rest on the law as It was in
tended. It would be impossible to meet
sheriff of Kansas who would not say that
the biennial election law would not save
$125.0 900. a year to the state. and, although
in office, there is no question but theS
are right.

Reduction in Horse Rates.

A reduction in the rate on horses from
the state of Washington to points in the

Northern road. Since the outbreak of the
SDanish-American war the Great North
ern's traffic in horses has been exceed
ingixr large. Last seasons traffic over the
Great Northern was estimated at twenty
five train loads of horses The traffic not
only proved profitable for the road, but
for the horse breeders of central ana
eastern Washington. and they have gone
into that line Of strock raising quite ex
tensiveIy. The Great Northern is anxious
to encolra sc them all it can. 1t is with
that object in view the reduction in rates

The company established seventeen jew

but utility is the motto now days and
out frills or geWsaWs are the only points
which appeal to practical railroad men.
The Santa Fe's time service has been a
revelation to the watch world, and has
been copied by little and big roads every
where. The Boston & Maine railroad
put it in vogue, and placed II 900 Of it's
10000 employees under its provisions. The
progress OF railroads includes a careful
conduct of time necessities as well as
special cOnveniences for passenger and
freight traffic. and the Santa E'e reaches
out for the highest character in them all.

The object of the meeting was to dis
clisS the recent political demonstrations
in St. Petersburg. vladimir StaIechnik-
off presided at the meeting. He IS a
Russian nOb1eman, now an architect by
profession, who was prominently con-
nected with the Nihilist movement in
that country and who fed some years
ago in order to save himself from being
transported to Siberia. Fully One-third
of the audience were women and they
were enthusiastic in their applause as
the men and all the addresses were en-
Enthusiastically received
The chairman in his opening remarks
said that he wanted it understood that
he and his colleagues are opposed to
violence. But what can we do whom
our friends and relatives are thrown into

drafted into the army, or hustled of to

of the people and the political regime is
at the bottom Of the situation.
