Many Think That He Is q Better One
Than Nasturtium.

London, Jan. 21.-The turf critics ac-
claim the boom given the sport by the
kings return to the turf. but fear that
none of his animals stands a ghost OF
a show of winning any big event
Richard Cookers entries of the Ascot
cup are well thought of. and will be
handsomely backed.
Whitney'S Derby entry, Nasturtium
is fancied by the critics, but the price
offered against him now is nonsenSica1;
but the present Derby future betting IS
wholly without regard for form. 1t is
a sheer gamble, like a. lottery.
Whitney's Peg Wellington colt is be-
ing closely watched, and it would not
be surprising if he turned out to be
Whitney's best ee-year-old, despite
the booming of Nasturtium- 1t is con-
sidered strange that Whitney has not
entered the Wellington colt or the half
brother to David Garrick for the st.
LegSr Grand Prix.
The half-brother of David Garrick is
entered in the Derby Newmarket stakes
and Nottingham Foal Stakes, and rae
ing men think that he has a good
chance II winning both events.

Racing at Oakland.

San Francisco, Jan. 21.-The horses
ran over a muddy track at Oakland,
but favorites and well played horses
were successful in the majority of the
events. Winnie O'Connor and L. jack
son divided the riding honors, each
landing three winners The most ex-
citing finish of the day occurred in the
last race at six furlongs. Duckoy was
favorite. with Meehanus a strong sec
ond choice. Off flying, Meehanus took
the lead and was never headed. He
finished in the deep going, but won out
only by a nose from Duckoy, who was
not well handled by Redfern. Nellie
Forest beat Bard Burns a nose in the
fifth race. Pat Morrissey, who had bad
luck, was third. Herculean, starting in
the eolors of his owner L. Bell, was a
favorite, but got away poorly and fin
ished in the ruck. Barney Schneider
showed a. clever FLY in the 2-year-old
race. Sylvia Talbot, by Balgowan-
Parolee, made her appearance and was
backed into favoritism. She won as

They allege that Mrs. Howell had an
infant child at her breast, besides three
other small children who required her
home care, when officers of the law

entire family of their liberty without
due process of law, took them to an

WILL ABOLISH OFFICES.
One of the Effects of Rural Mail
Routes in Sumner County.

Wellington, Jan. 21.-The work of lay
ing out routes for the rural Eaail deliv-
cry in this county has progressed far
enough to indicate that about 35 car
rierS will be needed to cover the coun-
ty, though some of the routes will ex-
tend quite a distance into adjoining
counties. One feature of the new sys-
tenn that will cause considerable opposi-
ton is the wholesale slaughter of the
small postoffices that it will cause. No
less than seven offices in this county
are said to be marked for abolition,
those at Ashton, Dalton, Cicero, Doster,
tory which is being covered by mail
routes out of the larger towns. The
farmers are quite enthusiastic over the
free delivery, but the merchants in the
smaller places are grumbling a good
deal over the anticipated injury to
their business.

BOYS BUILD AN ENGINE
Constructed by Youngsters of Ingen-
ious Turn Near Chapman.

Abilene. Jan. 21--Two boys. AL and
Ben Jaecke of Lyons Creek, southeast
of Chapman, have made an engine
which is a curiosity.
The little engine is of the crudest
type and was made entirely with the
use of a pocket knife, hammer and file
1t was made for the purpose of run
ming their mothers sewing machine
which it has done for number of
months. and is now in perfect running
order.
In constructing the engine they have
used only material right at hand-pieces
of iron, pewter spoons, nails, parts of
an umbrella and scraps of brass.
The fly wheel is an old pulley and
the castings are all made Of pewter
spoons and lead combined.
The wonder about the machine and
something that puzzled some of the best
mechanics is that in the construction
they have a single eccentric and with
that are able to reverse the engine.
The boys are now preparing to build
an engine of an improved type. The
engine is now on exhibition in Junction
City.

MERGER OF MEAT
 PACKERS READY
LONG EXPECTED COMBINATION
 WILL GO INTO ACTIVE AND OPEN OPERATION SATURDAY, SEPT. 27, SAYS REcoRD-HERALD.

Chicago. September 1.-The Record Herald tomorrow will say
 ''The long expected merger of the great meat packing interests of the United States will go into active and open oper- ation Saturday. September 27. unless there should be an entirely unlocked for change in the plans agreed upon by all those concerned in the deal at meeting held here today. An industrial combina- ton, second only to the steel trust in point of magnitude and importance, is, therefore. practically an accomplished fact.
 Reports concerning the actual terms of the consolidation differ. The most reliable light shed upon the subject was the plan outlined by Boston authority who has possessed the most inside condi- ton about the deal ever since its exist ence was first rumored in the early part of last spring. According to this expert the new packing combine is to be capi- talized at the rate of twenty-five times last years earnings of the constituent companies.
 For example, Cuhady & Co. are said to have earned about SEQ 900 in 1901, which would make their share of the capital stock of the merger $21. 100000. A per cent dividend that the new consolidation might be expected to declare would amount to $s40,000 on this lot of stock approximately its legitimate earnings.
 On the basis of capitalization Armour & Co.,. whose last years profits are sup posed to have been about $S, ,000 000, will receive $200 100000 in the new securities in exchange for their business. Swift & Co. will receive $50.oo0.ooO their net earn ings for the past year probably not amounting to more than $2.00000O by req son of the fact that this concern does not own It's subsidiary companies, such as car lines and selling agencies.
 Carrying out this method to the end, the Schwarzschild and Sulzberger com pany would receive s26,000,0O0.
 It Is said that it Is the undoLi ted de- termination of the consolidated meat in- terests to control all of the packing houses and stock yards of the country and to save every possible dollar in the cost of manufacturing and distribution.
 In addition to this all by-products will be absolutely controlled and efforts made to buy up industries that are closely al- lied to the meat business.
