AGENTS MAY BE NEEDED
Freight Men Notified to Be Ready
to Go to Chicago.

Denver. Col, July s.-Traveling freight
agents and freight representatives of roads
affected by the strike of freight handlers
in Chicago have been notified to be pre-
pared to proceed to Chicago on a minutes
notice for duty there. These instructions
were received by heads of freight depart
ments of two or three roads in Denver
this morning and were at once transmitted
to the agents and others concerned.
Chicago. July s.-This afternoon inquiries
from officials of the various railroads
ELECTED the invariab1e statement that
freight of all kinds was being handled
with scarcely any delay. 1t was claimed
by all that they had sufficient men to
to do the work. Among the recruits at the
Illinois Central was an old man and his
three stalwart sons from down the
state"

President Curran of the freight handlers
declared that he had been assured of the
support Of the teamsters as individuals
and it is certain that no effort will be

drivers belong National Secretary Turley
knew of no action on the strike being con-
templated by his union and said the
drivers were performing their duties as
usual, save in a few individual cases.

MILLERS ARE HERE.
Deny Any Alliance With Grain
Trust.

The Kansas State Millers' association
holds the 29th annual meeting at the
Copeland hotel tomorrow. The Kan
sas Milling and Export association. a
corporation composed almost entirely Of
members OF the former association, is
in session this afternoon. Consequently
the corridors Of the Copeland are pretty
well filled with Kansas millers today.
The export and milling association is
an organization which disposes of the
surplus product Of the various mills in
the state both in domestic and foreign
markets.
A conference caucus is being held at
the hotel this afternoon between the
members of both divisions of the state
mlllers association. Subjects Of inter-
est to the millers are being discussed.
1t is positively stated by the members
on the outside that the subject OF prices
Of flour is not one of the subjects ui1o =
consideration.
The millers deny that there is any
possibility of an alliance being formed
between the grain trust of Kansas and
the millers of the association with the
object OF crushing out of existence the
cooperative grain association that is
handling the farmers grain direct.
IT is absurd to think Of such pro-
Wichita today THE matter will not
even come before the association for
consideration. The forming of an al
lance OF that kind would be a detrf-

AN ANTITRUST BILL.
Littlefleld is Drafting One to Be
Submitted to Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay, L. l., July S.-During the
morning hours President Roosevelt was
busy in his library with Secretary Cor
telyou attending to a mass of official
mail and disposing of some routine de-
partmental matters which had been
transmitted to him from Washington.
The weather permitting, the president
will put in the afternoon playing ten
mis- and rowing with his children.
A rumor gained currency today that
John Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers would be here this af-
ternoon, but if he should come, 1t would
be on his own responsibilitIRndw with
out having made an engagement to see
the president.
1t is quite likely that in a week or ten
days a conference will be held with the
president by Representative Littlefield Of
Maine, with respect to the antitrust bill
which Mr.. Littlefield is drafting. This in
terchange of views will be made the basis
of the first draft of the measure.
While the executive offices in the town
are now in possession of corps of clerks,
the president has let it be understood that
he will spend little time in them.

Have Americans Been Slow

How many Americans know that the
first exploration for the route Of the
Panama canal was made by H. de Ia
Serna as far back as 1928? Many
different explorations followed and sug
gestions from various quarters, but
nothing definite was done until De Les
seps formulated his famous scheme.
This was opposed by the United States.
Americans then wanted the canal to go
through Nicaragua. and this plan was
favored by General Grant in 1879. But
nothing was done. Says Harper's En-
cyclopaedia of United States history:
IN 1881 the people of the United States
and France subscribed large sums to-
wards a French company, headed by
Count de Lesseps, of Suez canal fame,
which announced its intention OF cut
ting a canal through the isthmus OF
Panama The subsequent financial
catastrophe is well known. In 1899 the
Panama canal company of America was
Incorporated with q capital of $780, 00 :
600. 1t was then estimated that it would
cost SIZE, 1000, 600 to complete the canal.

ENDED AT LAST.
Litigation Over Price Estate il Settled
For Good.

National bank of Atchison and the Price
estate, which became pretty badly tangled,
seems to have been finally disposed of.
Three different suits between the parties
have been pending.
One was foreclosure suit against the
Price homestead, which was originally
won by the bank and was carried up to
the supreme court by Bale Waggener.
Another involved q number of life in
surance policies and Mr.. Waggener Sc
cured order from the trial court that
these be paid to Mrs. Price, and the bank
placed with the bank as security. Wag-
gener won the suits in the supreme court,
and had the mandate spread on the
cords of the trial court, but in some way
or another appeal was taken.
Waggener has just succeeded in hav-
ing this appeal dismissed on the ground
that it is virtually an appeal from SUI
preme court decision.

But for their conceit men wouldn't
find life worth the trouble.
No amount of culture will make fat
man stop snoring in his sleep.
The man who tells you he loves work
usually hires some other man to dig in
his garden.
Many a great mans reputation for
wit is due to his having been inter-

1t sometimes happens that a man
makes his home a sort of halfway place
between his office and his club.
The more money man saves while
young the more he will have to spend
on patent medicines when he gets old.
