Strawberry Growers Around Chanute
Report $4,000 Loss.


Chanute, Kas.. May Tt sounds big
to say that the late cold snap has killed
$4,000 or $4,000 worth of Strawberries

is the estimate given by j. Z. Rush, one
of the large straw berry growers OF this

900 crates would have been shipped.
and as the crates bring 81 and up each

NOT ALL IN A COMBINE.
A Few Shops Say They VIII
Stick to Old Prices.
Large Portion of Customers
viii Shave Themselves.

Fort Scott May Recommending with
this week all of the union barber shops
IN the city are charging their patrons Is
cents for shavss with the exception of
five shops. These shops announce that
they win not zaise the price. 1t was
thought tha the Huntington SHOP
would charge the advance price and
stand by the agreement but they an
nounee that they win not until tha rest
OF the shops stand by the agreement.
All of the others however stood Ly the
agreement and all day yesterday they
charged their customers 10 cents for the
work they paid 10 cents for last week.
The question arises among The patrons
now as to whether the shops intend to
charge a higher rate for Sunday than
they do on week days. Heretofore tney
have been charging Is cents ior the
Sunday shaVes ana it is not thought
that they viii try TO raise this price
IN fact one of them stated 1hat THAI had
not been brought up yet but that ne was
sure they would not charge higher
price for the Sunday shave than they
are charging now
All OF the five shops who are still
getting their 10 cents for their work
with the exception Of the huntington
House say that they do no. favor the
raising of the price and they are gong
TO stand By the old price.
The new price has created dissension
among the boss BARRIERS who wish 10
raise the price and those who did not
and they Will probably have some trou-
BILE ever the matter before it is finally
settled.
one of the boss BARRIERS who refused
to raise the price like the rest of the
shops stated that there was an effort
on foot among the BARRIERS who have
raised the price to have the shops who
refuse TO raise the price declared 'scab
snops and take the label away from
them and thereby cause boy
colt ON their places. He also stated that
they could not do this from he fact
that they had established schedule Of
wages for journeymen BARRIERS and that
as long as these shops paid The journey
men BARRIERS the required Price that
they could not declare boycott against
them He said that he believed tEaJ the
recent action of the BARRIERS had caused
a dissatisfaction among the customers
The boss BARRIERS who have raised the
price. however, say that they do not
believe that the raise in the schedule
price of shaVes that they have agreed
TO stand by will make any difference
with their customers and that in a few
aays they will have become accustomed
to the charge and VIII not say anything
about it.
However, there are number OF pso-
ole IN the city who have already placed
their orders with the hardware men for
razors and they are going to do their
own shaving.

KANSAS WON IT.
sunfower Debaters Defeat the Ne
braaka Men.

Emporia. May THE Kansas State
Normal defeated the Nebraska State
Normal in the joint debate between the
two schools in Albert Taylor hall here
last night.
: The question was: Resolved. that
tional amendment was a national mis-
take"
Nebraska had the affirmative and the
debaters were Frank P. Smith, julius
Gilbert and John s. Suva. The Kansas
State Normal was represented by Z. c.
Brookens, r. S. Whitelaw and Dennis
j. Sheedy.
Julius Gilbert for Nebraska, who is a
very young man with straw colored
hair, won the honors for his side. He
IS an easy. fluent speaker and appears
perfectly at ease before an audience
But the real star was Dennis J. Sheedy
for the Kansas Normal
While Mr.. Sheedy does not appear to
be over 20 years of age he has the dis
tinctiOn of having been a member Of the
Fighting Twentieth Kansas and it is a
question whether his wonderful versa
tility IS due to his experience in the
army or his Hibernian ancestry. He
handled his subject with the ease of a
trained debater and if young A1r.Sheedy
retains his health and his head he will
be heard from in Kansas
The judges were H. G. Larimer of
Topeka, Prof. r. c. Tolbert of Iowa and
L. L. Kiene of Topeka
The debate was followed by banquet
in the normal gymnasium. About $50
young men and women sat down at the
tables and after the feast President
Wilkinson acting as toast master pilot
ed the audience through pleasing pro-
gramme. The feature was vocal solo
by Miss Edna Good of Marion who has
a voice Of surprising sweetness and wide
range.
