Paul Morton Talks About Kan
sas Crop Failure.
1t Is No Longer . One CroH
State.
THINGS IN GOOD SHAPE
Expected From Reports to Find
Crops Burned Up.
On Other Hand He Found State
i'm Excellent Condition.

Kansas City, Aug. 5.-'Kansas is no
longer a one-crop state, and talk Of the
late drought having seriously injured
it is all nonsense
Paul Morton, second vice president of
the Santa F'e system, made this decIar-
aation at the union depot last night.
Mr.. Morton arrived last evening from
Colorado. where he accompanied Vice
President Theodore Roosevelt, and left
on the same train for Chicago
Because Of the accounts sent out
from this section Of the country" said
Mr. Morton, Il expected to find Kansas
literally burned up. On the contrary.
found it in very good shape. Much
corn shows the effect Of the hot and dry
weather, but still considerable Of a corn
crop viii be harvested. The late rains
have made it possible for the farmers
to put in plenty of late feed, and there
is no occasion for the sale Of cattle.
What cattle saw looked to be in good
condition, and my trip through the
state has convinced me that reports of
damage have been grossly exaggerated.
kansas still suffers from the repu-
tation which grasshoppers and droughts
gave her in the past, continued the
Santa F'e vice president. by that
mean that people in the east are apt
to believe almost anything about Kan
sas- They fail to realize generally that
the state is today one of the most pros
money on deposit in banks. The ma
jority Of the Kansas farmers now own
their lands, and, what f. more. these
lands are free from incumbrance. Mort
cages aggregating millions of dollars
have been paid off within the past few
years, and Kansas farm land is now
rated as excellent security
I'm other states the people are salts
fed when they receive one good crop
year. But the past several years OF
plenty have spoiled the people Of Kan
sas, and they are not content unless all
crops yield splendidly. This year Kan
sas has harvested one of the greatest
wheat crops in its history. and under
such conditions total failure Of the corn
crop would not seriously injure the
state. Kansas could lose either the corn
or wheat crop each year and still main
tain supremacy as an agricultural
state
Mr. Morton stated that Vice Presi-
dent Roosevelt was at present hunting
among the mountains of Colorado. and
would probably remain there for sew
era1 days. He is expected to start east
in about a week, and will make the re-
turn trip over the Santa Fe In Mr. Nor

END OF PANCAKE CASE.
Judge Hazen Refuses to Enjoin
Use Of Word Ralston.

Judge Hazen this morning decided
the famous pancake -four case. The
injunction asked by the Topeka Milling
company to prevent the Ralston Yeast
company from using the name Rails
tom was refused and the injunction
asked to prevent the yeast company
from representing their pancake flour
as that of the Ralston people was al
lowed. The case will undoubtedly be
appealed to the supreme court
The pancake case was begun IN
August, 1899 and the court costs in the
case are estimated at $4,000 The court
announced this morning that the decfs-
ion of assessing the cost would be de-
c1ded later and Judge Hazen remarked
that the case had been an 'sextrava-
CANT one and that if the law allowed
him to decide it both sides would have
to share the costs. During the trial OF
the case 179 witnesses were examined
either orally or by dispositions. The
questions asked numbered 1888, the
dispositions covered 1879 typewriter
pages and $50 600 words The trial last
ed II days. Schoch. Bergen and Dana
appeared for the Ralston Yeast Co. and
Slonecker, Stafford and Williams and
Overynyer, Mulvane and Gault for the
Topeka Milling company.
In 1878 the Parkhurst-Davfs Mer-
camille company and the Topeka Mill
ing company were in partnership IN the
pancake flour business In January,
1899. the partnership was dissolved and
the ParkhurSt-Davis company paid the
milling company 600 as money adj
vanced and $21, 900 for the conpany's
interest in the business. In 1897 the
RalstOn Yeast company was organized
and Herbert Hackney was made vice
president and assisted in selecting the
name for the new firm. He is still a
stakeholder. He was a director until
April, 1899.
The charter Of the RaIston Yeast
company stated that the company
would manufacture yeast and other
health foods. In August, 1899. the
Ralston Yeast company commenced the
manufacture of Eagle Pancake flour
and has a market for the product in
several western states In November
1899 the Topeka Milling company COM
menced an action in the district court
to restrain the Yeast company from
using the word Ralston on the packages
of pancake flour and asked $4,000 dam
ages.
The preliminary hearing of the in
junction was held in December, 1899
and the court refused the temporary
injunction and held the case for trial on
proof Since then the lawyers have been
taking dispositions in Kansas, Iowa and
Nebraska. The attorneys in the case
were David Overmyer and J. G. Sion
ecker for the Topeka Milling company
and A. W. Dana and w. F. Schoch for
the Ralston Yeast company

WHEELS IN a MUSEUM.
Plan to Place the Boxes Used in the
Drawing in the Capital

Drawing IN the Capital.
FL Reno, ok. Aug. 5.-The big lottery
wheels, or boxes rather, used in Rhs
homestead drawing may be sent to Wash
ington and placed in the museum. The
system adopted by the government OF
opening the new country by lottery was
such an improvement over the old horse
race plan that it has been suggested that
something be done to commemorate the
event The preservation Of the lottery
boxes at the national museum is consid-
cred the most feasible way and unless
some obstacle arises to prevent it the
boxes will be shipped to Washington after
the tickets are all drawn from them.
Mr.. II unp hrey, proprietor Of the Keerfoot
hotel, is a lucky man The opening netted
him several thousand dollars in profits
and then to cap the climax he drew a
good claim in the new country.

even this will not prevent lower prices

be a factor The only support will come

war on a broad scale is not a bun argu-
ment- Temporarily the conditions are all
favorable to the bear element and we look
for lower prices during the week, espe-

one favorable feature is that stocks are
in strong hands and therefore short prof.

that is that the convention will be a

he will receive the nomination, while
the anti-Cumn ms men say they will
make a fight in the caucuses that will
prove a surprise to Cumnins, and they
confidently predict that they will con-

committees. Mr. CumInins claims that
he will receive the nomination on the

I was not thrown clearly out of the
carriage. AS it was I was thrown over
the dashboard and strained my arm in
trying to recover my balance and keep
the horse from falling"
The place is a dangerous one and on
a dark night a person could easily drive
off and sustain severe Injuries. 1t might
be well. while the city is raising such
a howl about excavation made by con-
tractors, for the city to set an example
in this respect This is by no means the
first time this has occurred. Some one
