BANK WANTS ITS MONEY.
Trying to Find $25, 900 Which De-
rroit Debtor Offers to Give Away.

Detroit. Mich, Oct 23.-When the
wife of Cliff r. Cook. a prominent and
wealthy Detroiter, died last year from
a virulent attack of smallpox. he de-
cided to erect substantial memorial
to her memory.
The announcement that he had de-
cided to donate S25 600 toward the erec-
ton of an orphanage for the Christian
church. of which he is a member. was
made a day or two ago. Today pro-
ceedings were instituted by the Kearny
County bank. of Kansas, to locate the
s25, 900 which Mr.. Cook has donated. in
order to satisfy judgment obtained by
the bank in 1898 against Cook An ex-
ecution writ was issued and placed in
the hands of the sheriff. and he is now
busy looking for the money, so that he
may levy upon it before it passes into
the hands of the church authorities.
The amount of the Kansas banks claim
is about $4,000

ORIENT MAY USE FRISCO.
Stilwell Could Send Transcontinental
Freight from Wichita.

Wichita Kas., Oct. 23-It has been the
understanding here ever since George
Gould became one of the directors of
the Orient that some kind of a close
relation was to be established between
the Orient and the Missouri Pacific. At
one time it was strongly limited that
the Orient would be stopped here and
would never be built to Kansas CITY.
Later developments have convinced
the local railroad people that the road
will be built to Kansas City. and now
the question is being asked whether
there is not some combination with the
Frisco. 1t can be seen that if the Orient
is going to build to Kansas City the
Frisco could furnish a very good outlet
for the southern trade of the Orient
on transcontinental freight. Some of
the local railroad people believe that
there will soon be new developments in
the Orient situation.

Railroads Are Making Prepare

THE COST is IMMENSE.
Revenue Used for Betterments
Instead of Dividends.
New Markets Insure COntinu-

Chicago, Oct 23.-'I am convinced
that financial values are fast seeking
their level and that the operations of the
future will not be so hysterical as they
have been in the past"
So said Edward H. Hartman yester-
day, when asked what he thought of the
business future of the country. Mr..
Hartman said that he did not care to
be drawn into a general discussion re-
garding the future financial condition of
the United States or the operations on
Wall street an dtheir probale effect OH
the business future. He said, with
smile, that he did not know anything
about Wall street and its fits of hysteria
and melancholia, and did not care TO be-
come initiated. In general however. the
president of the Southern Pacific de-
clared his faith in continued prosperity.
Regarding this he said:
THE last Eve years have been a Pc
Rod of extraordinary preparation on the
part of the railroads. During that time
nearly every railroad system of i'm

TAX ON FOOD.
That Was What Broke Up the British
Cabinet.

London, Oct 23.-In an address to his
constituents at Ealing. Lord George Ham,
ilton, late secretary of state for India,
has given for the first time his version
of the recent cabinet designations. He
said that at the cabinet meeting on the
last day of the parliamentary session Pre-
mier Balfour produced a program which
included preferential tariffs and the tax
alton of food. The cabinet adjourned
that day without reaching a decision in
the matter. It met again on September IA
and continued the same discussion. After
this meeting Lord Balfour, then secre-
tary for Scotland, C. T. Richie, then
chancellor of the exchequer, and he agreed
to place their designations in the hands
of the Duke of DevonShire, then lord
president of the council, who would pre-
sent them with his own. 1t was not until
September is that Lord George Hamilton
lain's resignation and that the Duke of
Devonshire had retained his office. He
declared that Premier Balfour had treated
the members of the cabinet. other than
the Duke of DevonShire, unfairly in COM
munieatng to the duke the news f ne VII
He said also that he would have been
willing to resign at any time on the
slightest suggestion from Mr. Balfour, but
he resented the method in which the free
trade members had been ousted from the
cabinet.
With regard to the general fiscal policy
Lord George Hamilton declared himself a
free trader with limitations. He said also
maj he believed fhoroughIv in retaliation
which would give the country better
chance for the negotiation of reciprocity
treaties. He thought no member of the
eabinet. would have resigned ON such "a
j Question presented to them. The speaker
also expressed the conviction that the
present propaganda was protection pure
and simple.
The fiscal campaign continues with un-
abated vigor. Among the speakers last
night were Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man and Sir Edward Grey, both of whom
said that protection would result in an
! increase in the prices and great hardship
| to the working classes.
| Sir Edward Grey urged the formation OF
| an imperial council with representative
| from India crown and self-governing col
] onies empowered to advise the govern
ment on Imperial affairs and who would
prevent the converting of imperial into
marty questions.

COAL IS CHEAPER.
Santa Fe Official Says Oil Fuel Won't
Be Used Here.

The report to the effect that the
Santa F'e railroad might shortly discard
the use of coal altogether and extend
the use of oil as engine fuel as far as
Kansas City, is denied by local officials
of the road. One of the officials of the
Santa Ee said today
1.-THE rumor that we are to diseon-
tinue the use of coal on our lines in
favor of oil is probably a mistake. We
have received no advice of any such
action. and do not think that there is
anything in the report. The only place
where we could get oil that would be
satisfactory for engine use is in Texas.
and it would be more expensive for us
to ship the oil up here than it would

Lowers Grain Rates.

Omaha, Neb., Oct 23.-President
Stickney of the Chicago Great West
ern has thrown down the gauntlet to
his competitors and announces pro-
portional tariff on grain shipments to
Chicago, placing Omaha on the same
level with Kansas City. This applies
to all grain shipped into Omaha from

wheat and flour and an Scent rate on
corn to Chicago. instead of IA and l3,
