RATES ARE RESTORED.
Topeka Again Given the Car
load Differantial.

A circular Issued Friday by the Santa
Fe freight department restores to 70 :
peka tie old differential on carload
shipments which was discarded about
four months ago. This differential will
be of assistance to only two or three
Topeka institutions which have occasion
to ship at carload rates.
The differentials are as follows: Class
5, cents: class A, cents: class b, 0
cents; class C, 8 cents; class D, 8 CENTS
class E. 3 cents. This means that the
amount mentioned will be deducted
from the Missouri river rates" when
Topeka parties desire to ship by car
loads to points west
The circular also fixes the following
minimum rates from Topeka and North
Topeka on carload shipments: Glass c,
cents per 100 pounds; class D, cents;
class e. cents.
All the other lines doing business in
Topeka Will make this same rate
In speaking of the restoration of the
old differential. Santa Fee official said
today:
We abandoned the dffferential on
carload lots for the reason that there
are so few carload lots shipped out of
Topeka. There are only one or two
firms which ship carloads, and they do
entails were omitted simply because we
did not think it worth while to con-.
tinue to carry them on the tariff Sheets
as they were SO little used.
I'VE found that some of the Topeka
manufacturers and wholesalers were
very much opposed to the abandonment
| of the carload differential, as it affected
| them materially when they did have
carload lots to skip. We have there
| SGore simply restored the old differene

are made more advantageous. to him

HORTON IS STRONGER.
He Continues to Show Improvement
and Ii Better.

There has been practically no change
in the condition of Judge Horton since
yesterdawy. If anything he is a little
stronger, and this is regarded as very
favorable by his friends. He rested
comparatively well during last night
and he has not suffered from any of
the sinking spells which Slapped his
strength before his return home. and
which are SO much feared by his
friends. If these can be warded off for
time it is hoped that he will gain con-
siderable strength.
Judge Horton takes considerable in
terest in what is going on around him
since his return home. and is especially
anxious to read the papers. but these
have been denied him for fear he would
become unduly excited. He continues to
take his nourishment and not only rel
ishes it but is anxious for 1t.

the Philippines:
Malabang Mindanao p l.. June TO-
In honor of some of the Kansas boys I
wish to say that our state is always at
the front in all that may occur 1t
Bayou on May 2. while the little body
of brave Americans under Col Baldwin
were contending against the heather
horde of savage MOros, numbering ten
to one, Kansas was well represented in
those thin ranks and on that fearful
day three brave Kansas bows made
their name famous in the history Of the
war against the lake Moros. The fort
was surrounded by deep bitches and
these were lined with LAYERS OF sharp
ened bamboo that were impossible to
pass. The wall of the fort was only
20 feet from these trenches and when
once over the trench the Americans
were at the mercy of the savages, for no
one could scale this wall under such a
fire as was poured upon them.
But three men Of the small body that
surrounded the fort did jump these
trenches and attempt to scale the wall
of the fortress under the most deadly
fire that could be poured into men from
the old Remington rifles and thrown
bolos and the antique artillery that was
upon the walls of the fort. These three
Kansas boys, every one of them
climbed upon each others shoulders
and fired their rifles into the port holes
in the fort and wsthstood all till dark
came on and allowed them to retreat to
the line of trenches occupied by the
command. This was the bravest act
that was ever witnessed by any man
in modern times and these three men
are recommended for medals of honor
by the brigade commander, Gen. Davis.
Their names are well known in the re-
