This afternoon there will be an off,

desiccating plant is well founded.
This protest was filed with the city
clerk about month ago. 1t was sign

at the request of Mayor Parker he did
not present this protest to the council

BREAKING IT'S RECORD.
Santa Fe Doing Tremendous Cattle
Business Into Chicago.

Owing to its reduction of the cattle
rate to IL cents per 100 pounds from the
Missouri river and transmissourt terri
tory to Chicago the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe is now doing the largest
cattle business in its history. and in
stead of the reduction proving loss OF
revenue, as was predicted, it Is causina
quite an increase in its earnings. On
one night recently 40 cars were carried
into Chicago over this road from trans
missouri and Texas points, and about
60 cars to St. Joseph, making in all
about zoo cars of cattle which were
handled by the eastern division OF the
road in ten hours.
1t would probably have been impos-
sible to handle this traffic without as
sistance of the prairie type Of freight
engines, which have been doing constd-
cradle in the way of breaking recorda
Three of these engines drew three of the
trains which went from EmDOria to
Kansas City and each of the trains was
composed of so cars of cattle.
1t would have been regarded as an
impOssibility a few years ago to run
three trains all in a string, with so cars
Of cattle on each, but this is done now
without the least apparent difficulty.
About the only trouble that is expe-
rienced in handling such long trains is
in the passing of other trains. Many Of
the sidetracks on the division will not
hold so cars. and it almost made the
train dispatchers gray headed last week
devising means to bring them along
without any interference with the reg
ular trains.

A DIABoLIcAL COMBINATION.
EFrem the Detroit News


There is no other despeeism in the
world SO selfish. SO exactiAg and so
constituencies as the hard coal trust
1t is doubtful if there ever has been
anything to compare with it since the
most evil days of the Roman empire
1t Is a spectacle which shows abso-
lutte power exercised the limit The
trust manipuiates men, and it sacri-
fees human flesh and blood as chess
player throws away his pawns for the
sake of guarding the more important
pieces. In this case there is but one
important piece on the board and that
is profits" Nothing else is thought
worthy of consideration.
The anthracite coal region is crossed
and recrossed by several railroad sys-
TENS. These railroads have manipu-
lated and squeezed until seven-eishths
OF the coal properties are in their
hands. They are in a position of alb
solute control. Their close combina-
ton enables them to absolutely con-
troll freight rates, and thus they are
able to control every detail of mine
operation. They organize operating
companies for the mines quite separate
from the railroad business Mines are
placed in charge of operators, who
are expected to get the coal to the
surface at the lowest possible rate of
production. Men must be squeezed
