FUNNY ANDERSON STORY.
He Offended President Mckinley and
Lost Job.

One of the Kansas City morning
da1lies printed the following story OF
Major Anderson Of the Topeka Com
mercial club:
1T has always been a mystery to
Major Tom Anderson, of Topeka, why
he was not appointed pension agent by
President Mckinley four years ago. He
mad barrel OF Endorsements OF all KINDS
and felt sure of getting the place. But
he didn't, and thereby hangs a tale
Major Anderson nettled Mckinley one
time, although he doesn't know it to
this day, and that IS the reason his APP
phcatiOn for pension agent was not
given much consideration. In 1894 Nc
kinley, while governor of Ohio made a
swing around the circle. He was fixing
up his fences for the presidential nom
ination at that time. He spent a cou-
pie of days in Kansas making rear plat
form speeches. He went west through
the state over one of the railroads along
the southern border. Cyrus Leland was
in charge of the train Mckinley fixed
up a scheme with Leland concerning
the movement of the train When Nc
Kinley pulled a handkerchief from his
pocket while making a speech it was
the signal for Leland to start the train.
This was done to avoid long speeches
and handshaking. Leland obeyed orders
The next day the Mckinley party struck
the Rock Island road, and Major Ander-
son took charge of the train. Mckinley
gave him the same instructions, but the
major didn't pay any attention to them-
He ran the train to suit himself and Nc
Kinley became almost exhausted from
making long speeches and shaking
hands. Finally it became unbearable
and he had Joe Smith. of Ohio, who was
along, call Major Anderson down. Then
to add to The blaze Major Anderson had
his Modoc club serenade Mckinley
when the latter was tired and didn't
want to be bothered.
Mckinley was elected president, and
in due time Major Anderson put in his
application for pension agent and
backed it up with a big bunch of strong
Endorsements. The president reached
that appointment one day and called for
the various applications. Joe Smith was
present at the time.
. Who is this Major Anderson Nc
Kinley asked Smith, as he reached his
application.
a He's the fellow that wouldn't run
the train to suit you in Kansas re
piled Smith.
. That's enough said the president.
Major Anderson will never be pension
agent while 1 am president He laid the
majors application aside and the major
didn't get the position
A reporter who happenedsto stroll into
Major AnderSon'S Office asked him if
he had seen the story printed above.
@sWell 7 should say 1 did, the major
answered. Some one was reading it in
here this morning and upon its compile
ton a horse which was hitched to the
telegraph pole down in front was heard
to utter a loud guffaw.
THE facts in that case happen to be
just the reverse than is told in that
story he continued '''When left the
president at Omaha his last words to me
We're to See that Leland got right -

For some time the Wabash has been
causing a good deal of trouble among

the Wabash has made its own figures

1.-THE conference of passenger Off
Gals is only preliminary to a meeting
of the presidents of the railroads. said
q passenger official of one of the west
ern lines 1T is a foregone conclusion
that all the lines in competition with
the Wabash from Kansas City to St.
Louis and Chicago viii not permit it to
offer lower rates to eastern points thar
they do. The Wabash will hardly agree
to surrender its differential from Kan
SaS City, for that would amount to an
acknowledgment that the differential
principle is wrong Undoubtedly the
eastern railroads now enjoying differ
entail rates will propose to the western
lines that the question of the right of
the Wabash to differentials from Kan
sas City be submitted to arbitration
The reply of the western passenger
officials viii be that they are not auth
Orized to consent to arbitration of the
question This probably will end the
conference of the eastern and western
roads. The latter viii continue to meet
the lowest rate made by the Wabash.
The fight over differentials, in all proba-
bility, viii then be taken up by the
presidents of the eastern lines. They
can hardly do anything but agree to an
bitrate the question of differentials. as
by that manner differentials came into

week day trade holds up about as well
as it has, but the Sunday trade is not
as big as it used to be- Nowadays our
wagons only get about $50 each on Sun
day. However, the order business is
much heavier than it used to be. We
send a great deal of ice cream out into
