FRISCO MAKES
BETTER RATES
Handsome Reduction on Coal
and Sugar Announced.
IT SAVES $50 PER DAY
In Freight to the Dealers and
People of Wichita.

The Frisco road did nice thing for
Wichita yesterday. General Freight and
Passenger Agent J. a. Middleton was
here and announced an immediate reduc-
ton Of fifteen cents per ton on slack coal.
ten cents on lump coal and I'VE cents per
hundred pounds on sugar.
This means a saving Of $50 per day to
the people of Wichita
The new rate was made voluntarily by
the Frisco. which has for three or four or
FIVE years shown a splendid tendency 10
do everything in its power to advance
the city's interest, and that the people
are manifesting a corresponding tendency
to reciprocate. there is no doubt. Wich-
fta is rapidly learning TO appreciate
friendship, and when that friendship
comes voluntarily, it is doubly appreci-
ated.
The management OF the Frisco seems TO
have thoroughly mastered an understand
ing Of the immense advantage II is to a
railroad TO deal literally with its patrons
and the patrons are learning rapidly the
Importance Of appreciating such a policy.
It is to a great extent a question Of
reciprocity. AT any rate, the coal and
sugar dealers Of Wichita are very much
elated over the voluntary concession
made by the Frisco and good words for
that road and its management are heard
Or every hand IN the wholesale district.
The concession made on sugar is of ex-
ceptional Importance at this time as the
sugar season-fruit canning time - is
about on hand. There are 10000 bags Of
sugar sold in Wichita every month and
during the summer months it largely ex-
ceeds that. During the months of July
and August the saving 10 Wichita deal
ers on sugar viii amount to $50 per day
and that $50 viii be a saving TO the peo-
pie: for the price OF sugar on this market
will be adjusted TO the freight rate.
The saving on coal viii be about s. on
each car or more. on an average, than
81 600 per month. To the packing houses
alone the saving viii be about 500 and
correspondingly to every plant in town
where steam power is used.
IT is thought that all the other roads
will meet the rates announced by the
Frisco.

BLACK, MUDDY WATER
Has Caused Much Damage In River.
side Park


| During the high water of the past week
! there was CONSERVATION in the minds of
the park commissioners and attendants.
The black, muddy water from the Little
Arkansas river flowed over the embank-
ment in many places and covered the fine
grass with silt and in North Riverside
park it flowed into the new lily pond.
The finest lilies in the land had just been
planted in this pond and a number of
gold fish had been put into the pond Gold
fish cannot live long In muddy water
and the commissioners did not know
what TO do. Here was the water getting
higher and higher all the time and even
after the river did partially assume its
natural aspect there were great ponds of
black water in the park and the lily pond
was full Of black and Shiny water and
the gold fish were compelled to live in
1t.
But yesterday a large force of men
were put to work cleaning out the pond
and putting the muddy water back into
the river and now the little fish dart
about IN the clear water Of the pond as
lively as can be. The lilies are saved, but
each one had to he washed and cleaned
before it could be replanted in the pond.
The park commissioners are in a guam
dairy now as to what to do with the water
that is standing in big pools about the
park. Wherever the river has overlooked
the grass is covered with mud and this
kills II. unless the mud is removed soon
the park will have TO be sown over again
and this Is a rather expensive Job. The
commissioners had contemplated a num-
Der OF Improvements during the summer
but their plans have been unceremon-
iously knocked in the head and they gave
notice yesterday that no more improve
ments would be made at present and
they would devote all OF their time and
money to cleaning up and saving what

GERoNIMo's FAMOUS BAND.

The capabilities OF the Indians in the
direction OF civilization are well Illus
trated In the achievements OF Geroni-
mos famous band of savage warriors.
According to correspondent OF the
New York Evening Post, they have
converted a sun-baked plain Into q
good farming district where they live
happy and contented. They have built
houses, and bored wells; and so expert
did they become In the boring OF wells,
that they were employed by other In.
dams and by white settlers In the
neighborhood TO do that work for them.
They raise corn and have stock which
they sell 10 great advantage. They are
successful gardeners, and they secured
contracts from the government to sup
ply the horses at Fort Sill with hay.
This advancement is AL due to the
good sense Of the army officers who
have had charge Of the band. These
Indians are said to be happy in their
surroundings, No physical restraint Is
placed upon them. They know
that II they ran away they would prob.
ably be hunted up and brought back,
but they do not evlnce any desire to
escape from the land upon which they
have been placed. At one time party
asked for permission 10 40 back TO an
old stamping-ground of theirs, where
they could gather a lot OF mesqult
beans for domestic use. Captain Scott
put them on their honor to return
within certain time; and back they
came according 10 agreement.
The experience with these Indians
Is very encouraging. II shows that
well-drected efforts at civilization are
far from lost on them. II proves that
they are Of good stock, for otherwise
they would not be 30 apt scholars. The
missionaries among the Indians, who
complain Of the small results Of their
labor and the facility with which their
civilized scholars fall back into bar
barism, might study with profit the
military methods at Fort SILL There
Is no doubt that the native races OF
America have once occupied an exalted
position among the inhabitants OF tbs

| PALTRy POLITICAL TRICK.

A clipping has been forwarded to us
from tine Fillmore Progress Review
which publishes a partisan paragraph
designed to influence voters at the elec-
ton. 1t appeared In that paper on
oct. 81. and purported to have been
taken from the semi.Weekly Deseret
News under date of oct. q. We were
greatly surprised on reading Il, know.
ing that the Deseret News had very
carefully excluded from Its columns,
both local and editorial, Everything that
could be reasonably construed as favor
ing or opposing either political party In
tine contest. However. on going over
the advertising columns Of the paper OF
the date mentioned, We found the para
graph as part of an advertisement. 1t
was not only placed in the advertising
part of the paper. but the word "Ad'

Is 1T THE PLAGUE?


II is now claimed that 1888 persons
have died In San Francisco OF the Blu
bonlc plague, since last February. The
existence OF that scourge In San Fran
cisco has for long time been a dis
puted question, The San Francisco
authorities have endeavored to con-
ceal the facts. It is claimed but With
out success. Many state boards Of
health have threatened 10 declare
quarantine against California, unless
San Francisco takes energetic steps to-
ward the stamping out Of the disease.
II can easily be understood that San
Francisco is unwilling to admit that
the plague has gained foothold there.
Such admission might be Injurious TO
business interests. But II the facts
are as represented TO try to cover them
up would be almost criminal, since the
plague In city like San Francisco
would be menace TO other cities and
states as well. What II needed now
Is vigorous measures to stamp II out,
even II fire has to be applied to injected
districts, The federal health author
tiles seem TO contemplate the necessl-
ty OF taking hold of the matter, and
then no false pride will stand In the
way OF rational action.
Some have thought to see In the in
PRODUCTION OF the plague into one OF
our large sea ports one Of the dire re-
suits Of what they call imperialism.
They think that the annexation OF the
Philippines has brought It about But
1t would be hard to see how the Philip
pines can be more dangerous to San
Francisco now than they were while
under Spanish rule, They are not any
nearer geographically, and the little
more traffic that has been established
does not amount TO so very much.
There has always been some traffic be-
tween this country and the Aslatlc
shores and Islands, and there must,
then, always have been danger
But that Is not the question. II San
Francisco has been unfortunate enough
to become infected with the plague,
there should be no foolshness about 1t.
The disease should be stamped out. We
crltlcise Aslatlc peoples for their anil
mostly toward necessary health regu-
lallons We ought TO set them good
example In this respect.

neat cottage on the East Side and was
met at the door by o middle-aged wo-
man. who appeared somewhat interest

find anything on the agents list eA-
actly to her liking. What I like to

Of great men,. The agent Immediately

the lives Of Mckinley Washington,

GOOD COMMON SENSE,

We fear that some OF our city con-
temporaries will feel their nerves
Jared by the changes made In the pro"
posed bartender ordinance, by the
committee to whom It was referred
That body seems to have used oonsld-
cradle common sense In its considera.
tion of the matter, and notwithstand-
ing the bounding Of those papers. de-
cided not to require Of the streetcar
company something impracticable, and
indeed impossible to perform.
The ordinance. as It win be returned
20 the City Council. will be without the
provision that required the Board OF
Public Works to pass upon the Kind
of tenders to be used by the company.
That is q rational change. 1t is Wen
known that the street car company
has investigated the matter thoroughly,
and had made choice of tenders ana
placed its order for their manufacture
previous to the introduction Of the or
dinance. Suppose that on receiving the
goods. the Board of Public Works
should not approve OF the pattern.
What then? Would the tenders have
20 be left on the hands OF the company
ordering them? Would not this makc
further delay, and give our con,empo-
raries. that deemed the complete fitting
Of all the cars by January |, a connip'
ton 1t? The supervision of the matter
by the Board OF Public Works In the
Atting OF the tenders might not be par
ticularly objectional II there was any
necessity for 1t. 1t would be a minor
matter anyhow. except for the reasons
We have mentioned. The provision Is
very properly knocked out Of the pro-
posed ordinance.
The most important change. however,
IL that which allows the car company
4 reasonable time in which to III its cars
