No Use for Horse jockeys.

F. S. Steinkircher, of Newton, has
been winning a lot of harness races
with his horse, Murray L. And,
while winning these races, he has
been astonishing the horsemen all
over the central Kansas circuit with
his ideas of handling racer. He
drives his horse from town to town
hitched to an old buggy. When he
arrives at race meet, he takes a
rope and pin out of the back of his
buggy and stakes the horse out to
grass. He never works out" the
horse on the track, and never puts
him to sulky until the race is
called. Then he drives out to the
stretch and waits for the bunch,
coming down for the word without
any iockeying or preliminaries. Mr..
Steinkircher has a theory that all
the fuss made over race horses is of
no use whatever.-Kansas City

TOBACCO NOTES AND GOSSIP.
Mr.. Thomas B. Scott seturns From Abroad.
Small Sales Yesterday.

Mr.. Thomas B. Scott, of this city, secre-
tary and treasurer of the United States
Tobacco Association. has just returned
after several weeks absence abroad
While he brings no special news
of the situation in England. Mr.:
Scott declares that the war is still going
merrily on and that 10th sides are very
active, neither knowing what the next
day will bring forth. During his stay. in
Great Britain Mr.. Scott met Mr.. Thomas
zGalIaher of Belfast, the tobacco manu-
faCturer who is reported to have solo out
to the Consolidated on the quiet Mr..
Scott says that if Mr.. GaIIaher has real
Nv sold out lie didn't make mention OF
the fact to him. Since his return to this
country. however. he has heard from two
or three reliable sources that the report is
true.
& Sales of tobacco on the Richmond breaks
Yesterday were very light. owing TO the
had roads. which prevented the farmers
from coming into town. Only railroad
tobacco was put up, and not a great deal
OF that Prices were very good, consld-
ering all things.
The Tobacco Association of the United
states win make every effort to keep
Congress from restoring the old package
system in vogue before the Spanish war
began. Letters are being sent to the Con-
gressmen. When the Spanish war be-
gan and the license tax was raised, the
Government issued a new denomina-
ton of stamps, for instance. allowing the
manufacturers, in the case of the scent
package of smoking tobacco. TO put UP
% ounce packages instead of 2-ounce
packages as was the case before the
tax was raised.
This was done In order that the To-
hacconist could sell the same grade of
tobacco at the same price despite the adj
ditional tax. Since that time. however.
common tobacco has advanced from zoo
to 900 per cent. and il the old denomlna-
lions are restored the manufacturers will
be in a fix. They had might as we'll let
the tax stay and continue as at present.
