by the court, might be used In an ac-
tlon in the federal courts under tho
United States antitrust laws. AS
under the constitution no person can
be compelled to incrlmlnatc himself,
he could not be compelled to testify.
However the contention Of the county
attorney Is that the grain combina-
tlon is not an Interstate concern,
and II not, this point Is not well
raised. Since 1t was shown by tcsti-
mony that the trust attempted to In
tlmldate the Teasdale Commission
Company the same as they attempted
to intimidate the famers, 1t would
seem dinlcuelt to prove them a part
Of the combination.

Tho EIrhl Continues.

There continues to be new develop
ments In the situation with regard
10 the fight Of the farmers against
Che grain trust and those working
with II. About week ago the farm
ers Cooperative Association of Buh-
Ter completed their elevator and COM
menced doing business. At the same
time or n very few days later a man
representing Brlndsln g. judd line
elevator people on the Frisco railroad,
came to town and rented an elevator
which Ind been operated by some
local dealer. The new man immedi-
ately commenced to buy and Saturday,
was paying sitxy-0ne cents for wheat,
The regular market price for the day
Mt the usual two cent margin was only
about iifty-eight or flfty-nine cents,
IIo was paying at least two cents
above the usual margin, and that
would allow absolutely no profit for
the purchasing, shipping and handling
The grain, This Is the way the
fight on the Buhler cooperative con-
Germ commences, However If 1t OPP
crates as successfully for them as the
fight made on the Haven Farmers
concern did, perhaps IL will be a good
thing,
Secretary Howatt Of the Haven con-
cern was in the city Saturday and re-
ports that he paid out $4,000, GO
last month for grain and that he is
selling exclusively to the mills, Since
the scrap in which they had Secre-
tary Smiley Of the grain trust on the
carpet, the mills have come to his
support by furnishing him a market
and they are doing nicely. However,
under the arrangement on which the
farmers Of the Buhler institution are
operating they should not have much
20 fear, anyway. BY their bylaws
the arrangement Is that II any COM
petitlve buyer comes into their mar
ket and offers more than they can pay
and operate at profit, the members
of their association are to sell to them
and one-half cent per bushel Of the
money taken in exchange for their
grain is TO be turned into the treasury
of the cooperative institution. by
this means they raise the price Of
wheat and portion Of the proceeds
go toward supporting the institution
which has been the source Of the raise.

name with Il couple Of other men,.
They were about there Till Sunday,
and Mr.. Gray, the landlord, says he
was uneasy and suspicious Of them.
They were drinking considerable and
he took them for hard characters.
Several Of his boarders were also able
to identify the dead man as one OF the
mon that had been there.
Since the robbery at Laned, there
have been several other safes blwn In
this territory. There was one at
Klngman last week and one down the
line on the Rock Island, 1t was all
doubtless the work Of this gang Yet
their work was almost always clum-
silly done and they failed to make any
big hauls. From the safe here they
got nothing, There was only about
fifty dollars in the safe and the
safe fell over on IL 50 they could not
get 1t. Some Of the bills were badly
mutilated by the explosion,
The motive for the shooting Of the
man Is II profound mystery, About
the only theory advanced Is, that by
the explosion he was struck on the
head by Il piece Of cement or a stone
and stunned, His pals thinking him
too badly injured to get away had shot
him on the theory that dead men
never talk too much. TO support
this theory there was a slight bruised
place on his forehead which appeared
to be fresh. However 1t was nothing
serious. There was also piece Of
stone near him. Others suggest that
the thieves fell to oQuaTeling over the
unsuccessful work and shot him.
Mr.. Winchester OF Laned says that
when the news Of his death was first
broken to his wife she was told he
had been killed. in the Santa Fe
yards. She could not understand why
she should not have been notified in
stead Of the officers, and finally on
her opportunities she was told the
whole story.

Our sister town Of Newton was
swept by a disastrous fire last Satur-
day. The fire caught in a barrel Of
tar in a lumber yard and caught sew
eral other large buildings. One was
the furniture house of Duff & Duff,
a three story building, the store
rooms of the Gas and Electric Co.,
and the ware rooms Of the Follett
Implement Co. McManus' big depart
ment store was also badly damaged.
Help arrived from Wichita fire depart
ment which helped to get the flames
under control. The citizens Of this
place will sincerely Sympathise with
Newton in her al1liction. Although
Newton and Hutchinson are in a GER
tain sense rival towns, yet there has
always been the best Of feeling be-
tween them. 1t is right. Even
though rivalry between cities or per-
sons, or occupations is strong there
is no sense in its being bitter.

Railroads Are Playing Fall.

James Butler in his department. of
the Farmers Advocate relating to
their business and grain, shipments
has the following: "T'o farmers who
desire to ship grain we wish to say
that the railroads in this state have
cancelled the old order that required
the shipper to have the grain in the
city limits or in sight The railroads
are now complying with the new law
and everywhere they are serving the
farmers with cars the same as other
shippers where they load them
promptly according to their regular
rules. If an agent tells you that
such an order is not in operation the
chances are that he is under the in
huence Of some grain firm and IL such
is the case and he refuses to order
the cars foryou, we request you to no.
tify this office at once giving the
name of the agent. In ordering ask
for blank and make out written re-
quest, If the agent demands it, it
will be necessary for you to deposit 20
per cent Of freight charges on said car.
"You should demand those blanks
and if the agent does not furnish
them to you write out your order on
piece Of paper and keep copy of IT
and If the car Is not set in in a rea-
sonable time send the copy Of your
application that you have kept to
this office and we will take the mat
ter up for you. We wish to say em-
phatically that the instruction Of the
railroad officials to the local agents
Is to comply with the law passed last
winter, and it is our opinion in every
case where the agent refuses to order
cars that he is not following instruc-
tions given him by higher officials,
but is working on his own RESPONSE
bility."

The legislature passed a new law
last winter concerning the reporting
and quarantining of contagious and
infectious Diseases. This law was
intended largely to enable the author
tiles to stamp out the small pox
which has had such a run in this and
surrounding states for the last three
winters. 1t has been so mild that
people have been careless to an un-
wonted degree. However it has been
very expensive to the county and city,
even though the loss Of life has been
comparatively nothing But it is IL
able to take on Il more malignant and
serious form, and the authorities have
acted with good judgment in COM
mencing the war against the disease
early The new law is very stringent
in its terms about quarantlning, and
the carelessness that has been prac-
ticed may become dangerous. So far
there has been but one mild case
shown up, and care is being taken to
prevent it from spreading.

Talking with County Attorney
Taylor about the recent hearing of
the grain case before the United
States court at Leayenworth, he says
he is confident that on the PROPOSE
tions in the original hearing his CON
tentions will be sustained, and that
the Farrelly antitrust law will be
sustained as to its constitutionality
But during the last two or three days
the council for the defendants, Smi-
ley and the grain trust have raised Il
new question which may possibly be
used In such way as to kill the
effect of the law, The point is that

More About Packing House.

At the meeting Of the city council
Monday night the principal topic dis
Cussed was in reference to the old
packing plant and the proposed epen-
ing of it for packing or cold storage
purposes. Some time ago through an
alleged compliance with new law
the addition to the city on which the
packing plant is located was set out
side the city limits. Mayor Martin
took steps to have IL listed for taxa
tion and succeeded in doing so with
the purpose If the owners objected,
Of contesting the validity of the va
eating Of the addition. Now that
there is probability Of the plant be-
ing opened for business ON Il scale
that would be Of considerable benefit
to the city there is an effort being
made to have the city let them alone
and remain outside the corporation
limits so as to relieve them of that
amount or city taxes. A number Of
the councilmen were favorable to the
proposition providing they had assur-
ances that the plant woul be opened
mp for business as their talk indicates.
Some wanted a contracrt, and some
were willing to take Mr.. Underwood's
word for what would be done. Mr..
,McDermld also reports that an expert
on the cold storage business is to be
here to look over the field, bringing
with him the idea that the condl-
tl0ns are about the best possible for
IN immense plant here, Whether the
interests Of these two different parties
are-identical or can be harmonized
is not known.

A GLOOMY VIEW OF cUBAs FUTURE.

Washington. Jan. l2 CSpeciaD.-Representative
Bailey OF Kansas. has Just returned from an ex-
tended tour in Cuba, and takes rather pessimisuc
view OF the situation there. He does not consider
the people ft for sef-government, and has no con-
hdeuce in the native leaders who now in charge
of affairs under the supervision Of the United
States He speaks with admiration OF General
Wood and the other Americans who are in oftice.
..The great body OF Cubans," said Mr.. Bailey.
''have not accumulated anything. and as a rule
they are not worth anything. They are unintelii-
gent and fllIterate. They have a sentiment OF
liberty IN their minds. without any conception OF
IT'S meaning They construe liberty to mean IL
cense Their only idea OF government Is power,
onnression coercion. To the Cuban, government
means A lob and an easy time. The Spaniards
have taught them that. I believe If the United
States should withdraw from Cuba there would be
revolution IN ninety days thereafter. MY firm con-
viction is that Uncle Sam has got 10 keep his
strong hand in Cuba. Yet ultimately, it seems to
me we are bound In honor TO give them trial

nnent that dominated Congress when the Teller
resolution was passed. II is a condition not
theory that confronts US. and we have promised
them self-goverument. But, pending that the
United States would make grave mistake, prove
false 10 those people who have gone there ana
made investments, and prove recreant 10 the great
trust imposed upon us, by turning them over AGAIN

SCOTT EXPRESS TRUST REPORT.

The report that absolute control Of the vast irr

could be found who believed that the express bust
ness of the country would for long time to

road operation The difficulty of harmony OF action

PHILIPPINES SCHOOL BILL.
FURTHER ARGUMENTS ON IT BEFORE THE
COMMISSION

Manila, Jan. 1.-THE arguments on the sec
ton of the School bill allowing religious teach
1ngs were continued to-day. DR.. Manuel Bur-
sos who made the principal speech said the
rrlars would attempt to take advantage of such
a situation. DR.. Burgos urged the Commission
to consider the advantages it would give Cath
olicism on account of the Church's overwhelm-
ing preponderance.
Judge Taft explained that this legislation was
experimental. If 1t became the instrument of
ecclesiastical oppression it would be repealed.
DR.. Burgos insisted that IL ought to be re-
pealed now. The Filipinos he said had enough
OF the results of religious instruction in the
schools.
Judge Taft contended that it was impossible
10 judge of the new system at haphazard or by
the results of another He believed things would
be accomplished under the present which were
impossible under the former regime. He asked
whether it was not imeolitic to take action
which would unnecessarily shock the feelings of
the Catholic people.
The doctor replied that it better to elm
inate now a section which was certain to lead
to difficulties.
Commissioner Henry c. Ide asked which course
would satisfy the greater number of people.
DR.. Burgos. In reply. quoted the declarations

favor OF the separation of Church and State.
