sTIcKNEY's STATEMENT.
Tells Why the Chicago Great Western
Gut the Rates.

A. b. Stickney, president of the Chi
cago Great Western railway, has issued
a circular letter to stockholders giving
reasons for cutting the Kansas City,
chicago rate on packers products and
particulars of his contract with the
packers By this contract the packers
at Kansas City, ST. Joseph, Omaha, and
Sioux CITY agree to route over the
Great Western lines a certain per-
centage of the entire output of their
plants, at stated rates. for the term of
seven years. AS to its advantages to the
road. President Stickney says:
The aggregate revenue which these
contracts secure to the Great Western
on the present volume of business is es-
timated to be $14. 000. 600 and if the bust
ness increases as rapidly in the next
seven years as in the past approx
mately $40. 100000.
Under the terms Of these contracts
the company will publish and put into
effect tariff between the Missouri
river and Chicago, covering every ar
tlcie of packing house products, which
1t agrees to keep in effect without
change of rates for the period of seven
years. This tariff is to be a published
tarlH open to every shfpper-to those
VINO have and to those who have not
signed the contract alike. The rates
wnlcn the Chicago Great Western COM
pany has agreed to put into effect on
1ts lines are 20 cents from the Missouri
river to Chicago, which is 25 per cent
higher than the average of the last Is
years. and 1S1a cents on such products

CORN is THE KING.
Crop and Business Situation u Pro-
nounced Satisfactory.

New York Aug. 11--Henry Clews &
Co.'S Financial Review says:
In the main developments during the
past week have been favorable. The
principal crops are making excellent
progress. and the country now seems
assured of nothing less than big corn
crop in contrast with a failure a year
ago. This apparently is the keynote OF
ly all advices from the west are of an
optimistic nature: and, if present ex-
pectationS are realized. the farmers Will
have much better season than last
year. From the south, where an ample
crop of cotton is promised, the reports
are also encouraging; and the general
impression is that the entire country
will have a fall trade equal to If not
slightly in excess of last year. While
the crop and business situation is salts
factory, the Industrial outlook is hard
~ as promising as at this time In 1871.
The unsettled condition of labor exerts
g. deterrent effect upon new enterprises.
and the increased costs of production
which the demands of labor are i'm
posing are creating a situation that
causes more or less anxiety concerning
the future Profits are already declin-
ing, and the present high level of prices
makes it impossible for manufacturers
to compensate themselves by further
advances that would simply curtail
production and leave the producer in
no better situation. 1t seems quite
probable that the ability of manufac-
turers- to advance wages has about
reached it's limit. for the reason that
advances in wages now mean still
higher prices for products, which can
not be obtained under present condi-
lions. MEANWHILE manufacturers are
confronted with another predetermined
| of new ompetitionEwhich, combined
with new methods and small capitaliZa-
| ton, is making active Roadway against
| the older heavily capitalized concerns.
Altogether, therefore, the industrial
situation will bear some careful watch
| ing, the indications being that we are
nearer a reaction in this part of our
| economic machinery than is generally
| supposed, if it has not been already
| entered. For this reason the strike
| fever cannot be regarded with the
| equanimity that would be possible if
prosperity promised unknown contin-
| uance. With the plain intimations that
! we are near a downward turn in prices
and profits. n uch of the strike agita-
ton will prove ill-timed and injurious.

Il sometimes fear that we are in dan

workers. Before we spend any consid-
cradle part of our time giving advice TO

DR.. Doyen Finds Means to Paralyze
the Carbuncle Microbe.

New York, Aug. 11-Dr. Doyen Of
Paris has demonstrated that the inf1am-
ed tumors designat ted under the names
of boils and furuncles and anthrax may
be successfully submitted to the serum
treatment, says the Paris correspondent
of the Herald.
The doctor has brought to the notice
of the academy of medicine an album
inous LIQUID which, administered in
doses of five to ten cubic centimetres is
efficacious against the staphylococious
microbe which engenders these affec-
lions. The serum employed has such
a powerful effect that in two or three
hours after the injection all pain caused
by the inf1amma ton ceases. The results
vary a little according to the manner in
which the injection is made and the

INJURE KANSAS CITY.
Santa Fe's Gut Rates Likely to Help
Chicago.

Kansas City papers. say that the Santa
FEES cut on live stock and packing house
products will hurt Kansas City.
The Santa Fe hauls more cattle to Kan
sas City than any other railroad enter
ing the city. 1t has never been able to
get much of the haul of the manufactured
products out of Kansas City The Santa Fe
takes the position that in bringing cattle
into Kansas City it simply creates bust
ness for the roads that are getting the bulk
of the haul of the manufactured packing
house products and the dressed beef. The
Santa Fee can only be appeased by promise
of good big hauls of the packing house
products. The Santa Fe officials say that
they are tired of making business for the
other railroads and that they will haul
stock to Chicago rather than to Kansas
City unless they can get the haul on the
manufactured products.
There is a prospect of a lively but very
brief fight" said stock yards official at
Kansas City. "Other lines from Kansas
City to Chicago will meet the Santa Fe
cut and under the decision of the inter-
state commerce commission the same rate
will have to be made from other Missouri
river points"
TT is all fixed up IN Chicago" said an
other man, the packers and the rail
roads both have their headquarters in Chi
cago and they are working for Chicago and
against Kansas City"

helpful kindness of the people of all
parts of the country. The race had

the fact that few colored beggars were

well there is no opportunity for bearish
demonstrations. On the contrary. the
situation is such that the big leaders
might easily inaugurate a bull cam
paign Of greater or less duration, pro-
vided monetary conditions permitted.
Here is the CHEF obstacle. The banks
are practically loaned up to their full
capacity. There is a general feeling
among bankers. also. that contraction
is more desirable than further expan-
sion. Within the year ending July
bank loans in the United States have
increased $265. 1000. 900. OF course. there
has been an enormous increase OF bank
ing facilities during this period, but
against this increase in loans there was
an increase in specie holdings of only
500, 0O0, 600 and a small decrease in legal
tenders, showing low condition of re-
serves. Then, crop demands will be
corn loss lessened the drain On the
banks: and mercantile requirements
will be fully up to the average, SO bank
ers rightly expect a good demand for all
available funds at profitable rates. This
situation renders further gold exports
of consequence improbable, and the
payment of our foreign obligations will
be either deferred to a more convenient
period or done through more convent
ent channels when cotton and grain be-
gin to move. Liquidation of some of the
syndicates in which large sums are tied
up would relieve the monetary situa-
ton, and in this connection an active
and stronger stock market would prove
very oppOrtune
Should no unforeseen accident intervene
there is every reason to suppose that the
big men will endeavor to take advantage
of present favorable conditions to lift the
market. They have stock to sell and buy

active and stronger market. Just when
such an attempt is likely to be made no
body can determine, but the early fall

most opportune time. If these surmises
prove correct we may have a fairly active
and better stock market. Offering good
opportunities for trading: Important deals
are still in prospect which will have a
stimulating effect upon values. The whole
railroad map of the United States is I'M

assumed that these plans are being pushed
without advantage to their promoters. Au-
gust presents a brighter promise than
July, though it should not be forgotten
that prices are at skyscraping level and
unexpected disaster might precipitate a
very unpleasant reaction.

A LEAvENWORTH SUIT.
Thomas p. Fenlon Sues Henry Keller
For Legal Services.

Leavenworth, Aug. n.-An interesting
suit is being tried in the city court. In
it are involved persons who were at one
time among the best known in Leaven-
worth's business and social circles.
Thomas p. Fenlon is suing Henry c.
Keller for $500. He claims this amount is
due him for legal services rendered in
securing a divorce for Mr.. Keller 8
is now living in San Francisco. For
years he was a leading insurance man
of Leavenworth- He is now in the same
business in the California city.
The daughter is now the wife of Cap
tain Maurey Nichols, 7th United States
infantry. She is with her husband at the
Preside near San Francisco.
Charles Nicely was private secretary to
Lucien Scott the Leavenworth banker.
when he married Lena Keller. He now
is in the insurance business in Philadel-
phia.
Charles Nicely married Miss Keller in
April 1889. In 1894 they separated. On
July 8. 1895, she was granted a divorce in
Louis A. Myers on the grounds of aban-
donment. 1t is said that attempt was
made to have the trial secretly conduct
ed in the law library room at the court
house. This effort at concealment was in
effectual.
Mrs. Nichols was a beautiful attract
i've young women and married the arNy
officer soon after the divorce was grant
ed.
Very sensational letters are being intro
duced as evidence in the suit now being
tried in the city court. Nicely, in one OF
them, charger Mrs. Keller, mother of his
wife, with poisoning the mind of his wife
against him. He says Mrs. Keller was
very friendly with him until after LucieI
SCOTS death. He claimed she turned
against him at once when she learned HI
had not been left anything by the bank
er's will.
Messrs. E. B. Baker and John T
O'Keefe represent Henry Keller. They
claim Fenlcn's demand is entirely out Of
keeping with the usual fee charged fol
such services as Thomas p. Fenlon Sr.
rendered. They say Thomas Fenlon, Jr.
was not the attorney for Mrs. Nicely bu
| for the husband.

PLAT IS SARCASTIC.
Why Iowa Should Take Charge
Of Federal Issues.

New York, Aug. Ex-senator Thomas
C. Plat has clearly indicated according
to the Herald that the Republican state
platform this year will ignore Cuban
reciprocity, as advocated by President
Roosevelt and Endorsed by the Iowa
state platform. and confine itself chiefly
to state issues. When asked how the
Cuban reciprocity issues would be
treated in the state platform. Senator
Plat said:
IT have not heard that matter dis
cussed- / do not know that the state
platform will deal with federal issues.
We have issues enough of our own here
in the state"
1t was suggested that the Republicans
of Iowa had taken a different view of
the matter.
LAS the Republicans of Iowa have
about everything in the national gov
eminent, it is proper that they should
take charge of federal issues" Senator
P1att replied.
