fremont street, but we have decided to
go south on no street west OF the tracks
except Emporia avenue. Topeka avenue
IS too near Main street line. OF course
our franchise prohibits our building a
line on South EmpOria avenue and be-
fore we could do it we would have to
secure permission from the council.
I'VE now have material on the way to
this city with which we have planned to
relay some of the present tracks. but if
the council acts quickly we may use the
material to build the South Emporia ave
nue. line. If we build the South Emporia
avenue line we may build east of the
tracks at some later date. It is decided
however, that there will be no new line
west Of the tracks on any other street
except South Emporia avenue.
In regard 70 the West Side line we Will
relay that line either on Maple street or
University avenue but on whatever
street It is relaid. the work win be per-
manent
Two years ago when the people in the
south part of the city wanted an addi-
tional line built there, we thought best
to wait until more people had moved in
there. That time has come. am greatly
surprised at the growth of the city east
of the tracks. We want to do more for
Wichita than we are required to do by
the terms of our franchise. We want the
people to feel that we want to do more
than that

ON GENERAL
MERCHANDISE
Complaint Against Discrimi-
nation in Freight Rates.
SMALL ARTICLES FIGURE
Apples, Structural Iron and
Common Soap Even.
SMALL ARTICLES FIGURE

A complaint setting forth the discrim-
ination Of the railroads against Wichita
on the matter of rates on general mer-
chandise wiz be fled with the Interstate
Commerce commission today. Mayor Nc
Leans signature being withheld because
Of his illness. This is the first COM
plant filed that concerns general mer-
chandise and the unjust rates on these
commodities make themselves felt Dy
every dealer and consumer.
Taking Oklahoma City, to the south Of
Wichita for example. it is shown that
merchandise is carried from Louisville.
Ky. and Cincinnati. O.. by the railroads
right straight through Wichita to the
Oklahoma town cheaper than when it
is shipped to this city. AS representa-
tives, the rates on the following articles
are taken up: Excelsior, green fruit.
horse collars. structural iron, canned
goods, wire, moiasses, rice and common
soap.
The rate to Wichita is made up of
local rates from and to the Mississippi
river line; that it. the rate from Cincin-
natl or Louisville to St. Louis is added
to the rate from st. Louis TO Wichita
and this rate charged on goods shipped
direct from Louisville or Cincinnati to
Wichita. On goods shipped direct from
the Kentucky and Ohio towns to Okla
hcma City, a through rate is charged.
Wichita is forty-eight miles nearer
either of the two shipping points than
Oklahoma City and yet the former city
pays 13 more cents on the hundred
pounds for common soap than does the
Atter. For Structural .ron. SO much Of
which is beirg used in W.chics OF late.
Wichita has TO pay - cents mere on the
hundred pounds than does the Okla
homa town, and for canned goods
cents more.
The same unjust discrimination IS
made in class rates. On first class goods
the rate from the two above mentioned
shipping points to Wichita is s1.5sI2,
and to Oklahoma City from Louisville
is sl.40, and from Cincinnati is $50
The same difference is on second and
third class goods, but when it comes to
the fourth and fifth class. Wichita has
lower rates than the Oklahoma City
town This seems to be a confession on
the part of the railroads that the first
class rates are unjust determinations.
and that is all il amounts TO, for very
little of the fourth or fifth class Of goods
is shipped.
The following table is the commodity
rates on articles from Louisville TO Wich-
tia and Oklahoma City. The rate made
in cents per hundred pounds:

MAY PUT ON MORNING TRAIN
ID. Hardy May Order Another Wich-
tia KioWa Train.

D. Hardy. general superintendent Of
the Missouri Pacific. arrived in Wichita
yesterday morning and remained in the
city all day looking over the company s
property and comforting with the local
officials about some changes and altera-
tons to be made in the depot and yards.
He stated to a reporter for the Eagle that
he could not state when the train from
Kiowa &c Wichita and on to Kan
sas City would be put on, but he spoke
very favorably of the matter. This will
give the people along the Kiowa branch
a train to this city early in the morning
and returning about z O'Clock in the
evening. and means a great boon to the
people who have business with Wichita
merchants. The commercial men of this
city have been working hard to get this
train established and they now seem GER
tain Of success.

Kissed The Wrong Man.

A Phila. paper says: Just as barber
in shop on Eleventh street, near Chest
nut, had finished lathering the face of
one of his best customers, well known
business man, there swept into the place
handsomely dressed young lady and
pretty woman, who, as she rushed up to
the man with the soap-sudded face, said
"Dearie, they told me at the store that
you came here, and as have to hurry
to catch the train, | had to run over
here to say goodbye" She ratified this
off in one gasp, and, STOPPING over, she
landed smacking kiss on the lathered
mans mouth. Wiping the soapsuds off
her lips with her dainty handkerchief,
the woman fiounced out, saying as she
went: "Now remember, you must
write me every day. Goodbye" The
barber, in surprise said: "Why, didn't
know you were married" He was
more surprised when the man who had
been addressed as "Dearie'' answered.:
81 amt and what's more, | never saw
that woman before" The barber's
laughter was interrupted by man who
was being shaved in the next chair, who
said: "That was my wife" Shaving
operations were suspended all around
until the second man could explain.
The story was simple enough. The
woman was going to Atlantic City, and
she was to bid her husband goodbye
at his place of business, which is near
the barber shop. Arriving at the
husbands store, the woman found that
hubby was at the barber's and the time
being precious, she hurried to the
barber shop to say her adieu. AS the
first man she came to in the place looked
as he lay lathered, as much like her
husband as the husband did himself,
the wife naturally mistook him for her
lord and master. "But why didn't you
stop her in timer" asked the man who
had been kissed. 81 couldn IT," was
the reply, "because my barber was
working on ticklish point on my chin,
and if had opened my mouth would
certainly have got cut. But, of course
I didn't imagine she was going to kiss
you" The kissed man, as if to console
the husband, said: ''But she thought
it was you she was kissing" The
husband, with "that's So" agreed.
After both meu had got out of their
chairs the husband extended his hand
to the man his wife kissed, and, as the
two shook, the husband said: "It's all
right; let's have drink" And they
went across the street and had several.
