New Adjustment of Freight
Rates Good for Topeka.

According to a readjustment of the
freight rates on the Topeka railroads,
there has been a reduction of the tariff
of 20 cents from what it was two weeks
ago The action of the Transmissourl
Traffic association at Kansas City a few
days ago accomplished this 1t will affect
a number of leading wholesale business
houses of the city. particularly in their
dealings with Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory. Heretofore the rates which
Topeka jobbers could secure out of this
city were limited exclusively to Kansas
but now the barrier has been removed SO
that the new southwestern country has
been opened.
1t is likely that this concession will be a
potent factor in bringing about Satisfac
ton to Otto Kuehne proprietor of the
vinegar and picking plant, who has
threatened to leave here for Kansas City
When asked about the matter this morn
ing, Mr.. Kuehne said it was impossible
for him to make any positive statement
until after the middle of the month. He
said that at that time there would be an
important freight rate meeting ir Chicago
which would determine whether or not
Topeka would get what it had desiied-
Now that the TransAnfssouri association
has accomplished something, there v i'll be
a move to secure better -ates on coal ship
merlts into this city. The rate to Topeka
has been S1.40 as compared with 20 cents
to Atchison a longer distance. and there
Is a movement under way 10 secure a re-
duction in this. which viii mean much to
the manufacturing interests of the city.
From st. Joseph, Mo. comes the an
nouncement that there will be big cut in
the rate on sugar shipments between there
and Chicago The rate until now has been
27 cents. but it has been reduced TO u
cents. It is believed that this Is meant as
an encouragement to the beet sugar indus
try of the western states. as the reduction
prevails from all Missouri river points.

The public has no interest in ghosts
that "squeak and gibber" in the

ghosts persist in wandering.
That states the case very well. But
Bryan does not seem able to diStin-
guish the ghost from a real fieSh-and-

if he met it. We shall all be interest

Declines Coronation Post.

Captain Charles E. Clark has de-
clined the appointment of special
naval representative at the coronation
of King Edward and the president has
named Rear Admiral Watson for the
mission.
The declination Of Captain Clark is
viewed with general regret in official
circles. However, it is realized that
the mission involves personal outlay
for entertainment and exchange of
courteSieS of a very formidable char
acter, and entirely beyond his private
means.
Admiral Watson succeeded Admiral
Dewey in command of the naval forces
in the Philippines, where he was call
