yacht, the Erin. which is lying off West
TWenty-sixth street, in the North river.
His right leg, which was hurt while he
was boarding the tender Porto Rico a
Few weeks ago, is giving him consider
able pain. The tremendous strain 1t was
subjected to during the recent races is
beginning to tell, and his doctor has or
dered absolute rest
Elaborate preparations are being
made at the New York Yacht club to
nttingly receive Sir Thomas at the club
tomorrow night
Sir Thomas Upton IS far from salts
ned that the recent yacht races have
to be the better boat, and it is now more

arrange for another race.
The races are over" said Commodore
Ledyard, of the New York Yacht club,
land the Columbia will be laid up for
the winter. If the owners Of the yachts
want to race, that is their affair. The

PHONE FRANCHISE EXPIRES.
Bell Company May Not Secure Re-
newaI at Fl Scott.

Fort Scott, Oct. SIT developed to-
day that the franchise of the Bell Tel
ephone company expired on the 26th
day of last month and since that date
the company has been operating the
plant without a franchise. Although it
was known that the franchise would
have expired last month it escaped the
memory of the city officials. Fort Scott
has two telephone plants and in many
instances the double system is a nuis-
ance. In many towns in the state it is
not allowed and there is a growing
sentiment in the city in favor of not
giving the Bell another franchise. This
is by the stockholders and supporters
of the Mutual company, who are bitter
against the Kansas and Missouri Tele-
phone company on account of rates
that were charged before the Mutual
plant was established some years ago
The rate charged before the establish
ment of the~local company was 81
month, but afterwards the price was
reduced to 81 a month, to meet the
price of the home company. The fran
chise was granted for period of ten
years.

AroH1soN's WHEAT TRADE.
Five Thousand Cars of Wheat Han
died There in Three Months

Atchison, Kas., Oct s.-During July,
August and September fully 5000 cars
of wheat, or about 31s million bushels,
have passed through Atchison. OF this
amount about $500 cars were billed to
Atchison and Leavenworth, Leaven-
worth getting less than a third of the
cars. The remaining 1900 cars were
billed to Kansas City and st. Louis
During July, August and September of
last year 1850 cars of wheat were
shipped through Atchison, against
the 5000 cars during the past three
months. The figures given were OBJ
tanned from rhe biggest grain firm in
Atchison. and verified by an official of
the Missouri Pacific who showed the
figures as entered in his books.
The Missouri Pacific handles prac-
tically all the grain which passes
through Atchison. The territory drawn
from is directly along the Missouri Pa
cific's Central Branch which traverses
northern Kansas for 300 miles, and
from southeastern Nebraska. The per
cent of grain coming from southeastern
Nebraska is small, however.

given out that Martin had sprained his

COTTON SEED MEAL
Will Be Used to Fatten 1,700 Reno
County Steers.

Hutchinson, Oct. S.-Seventeen hun
dred big steers will be full fed in
Hutchinson this winter. They are the
property of the Sullivan Mills of Los
Angeles, Cal. and have. been in pasture
this summer on J. E. Conklin's ranch in
Kiowa county.
The owners of the steers have leased
the stock yards east of this city and
will use much of them as feed yards
The cattle will be fed a new bill of fare
for Kansas cattle and the result will be
noted with great interest They will be
fattened on cotton seed meal and hulls-
1t is thought that one hundred car
loads of the m cal and about the same
amount of hulls will be used.
The feed has been tried in small
quantities by our beef-raisers but the
experiment will determine whether the
cotton seed combination can be ship
ped here when corn is high and fed to
a profit.

Franchise at Present.

Fort Scott, Oct. San interesting in
junction suit has been filed in the Uni

restrain the city from revoking the

the rates fixed by the ordinance are
unreasonable and that they cannot af
ford to operate the plant under those
terms. Judge Hook has granted a tenn
porary restraining order against the
