WICHITA VICTIMS.
Buy an Order of Soap and Get u
Bed Thrown In.

Wichita, Kan, Sept. &C. w. Ander-
son, alias c. w. Robertson. who was
arrested at the instance of Kansas City
detectives last week for passing himself
off as an agent of the N. K. Fairbank
Soap company, and who was held here
to answer to a charge of obtaining mon
ey under false pretenses. is again in
trouble. Two warrants were sworn out
for him Wednesday in each of which
the same charge is made, that he rep
resented himself to be an agent of the
soap company, and sold boxes of soap
at an exorbitant price. but with each So
order agreed to give as a premium a
bedroom suit, springs and mattress.
Elizabeth Thurm and c. B. Prince are
the latest alleged victims. Anderson was
released on a $500 bond pending his pre-
liminary hearing in the first case and it
is said that he continued the same kind
of operations within the last week, only
dealing in a different soap made by an
other company. The date named in the
last warrants is July 81, and the preni-
ums were to have been delivered two
days later, but they failed to show up.
1t is probable, so the authorities say,
that still other complaints Will be filed
against Anderson

SULTAN SPEAKS.
to All Precedent He
Addresses Visitors.

Constantinople, Sept. 3.-On the ami
versary of his accession Tuesday, the
sultan received in audience at the palace
the heads of the religious communities
and the patriarch made a speech of
congra tulations. In reply thereto, after
thinking the patriarch and the others
present for their good wishes, the suit III
contrary to precedent, spoke at some
length, as follows:
"All my desire is for the welfare of
the population, without distinction of
race or religion. AS to the detesta BILE
and regrettable deeds to which the pat
riarch alluded, L am convinced that the
movement does not proceed SpOntane-
ously from the population, but is insti-
gated from abroad. hope the measures
taken Will insure tranquility. L call
God to witness the sincerity of my de-
claration and that all my aspirations
and work are for the welfare and pros
perity of all my y>subjects.
Turning then to the Bulgarian patri-
arch, the sultan bade him communicate
his words to his flock.
Next addressing. the Greek patriarch
the sultan said he regretted that the
Greek population had also suffered from
the recent troubles and declared he
would be pleased to contribute to the
subscriptions being raised in the patri-
archate in behalf of the sufferers. The
sultan fufther remarked that he was
very sorry that some of the soldiers had
been guilty of acts contrary to his or
ders and desire.
The sultan personally assured Mon
signor Ormanian. the Armenian patri-
arch, that his words applied to the Ar
menians as we'll as to the people of other
nationalities.
The portes note of warning to the en-
bassies and legations informing them
that, according to police information the
Bulgarian agitators were projecting out
and public buildings in Constantinople,
saying the Ottoman government had ta-
ken precautions and requesting the
heads of the foreign missions to do like
wise, was issued in consequence of the
receipt at the Russian embassy of an
anonymous letter threatening outrages
at the winter residences of the Russian
ambassador and consul general.

p. H. Landrigan, of Eureka, was the
first witness introduced by the cattle
shippers. Mr.. Landrigan is one of the
largest shippers in the state. He and
his brother together handle approx
mately fifty thousand head of cattle in
some years, so that the question of
railroad rates is an important one to
him. He does not, of course, feed this
many cattle, but he buys them for the
market in addition to feeding them him
self.
Mr.. Landrigan testified that the pro-
posed rate from Eureka to Kansas City
makes an increase of two cents hun
dred pounds in the rate. In addition he
said that the service is the poorest he
has ever known. 1t is necessary. he
said, to load cattle at Eureka on Sat
urday night in order to get them on
Mondays market in Kansas City, some
thing that was never necessary before.
He laid the blame for the poor service
on the fact that the railroads are try
ing to haul too much tonnage at a
time, making their trains too long. On
cross examination the railroad attor-
neys brought out the fact that the con-
ditions since the flood may have con-
siderable to do with the poor service,
and this seems to be generally admit
ted, although the statement was made
by some of the witnesses that the poor
service began some time before the
food The cattlemen testified that it is
necessary to get the cattle unloaded at
Kansas City by o'clock in the morn
ing in order to be sure that they would
be sold the same day, but the delays
frequently prevented them from being
unloaded by this time. and as result
they would not be sold until the next
day, entailing great shrinkage and con-
sequent loss on the shipper.
Mr.. Landrigan also introduced a
schedule comparing the cattle rates
, from various points in Kansas to Kan
sas City with rates from points approx
imately the same distance from Kansas
City in other states, showing that Kan
sas rates are considerably higher than
the rates in other states. even at the
present tariff. Some of these compari-
sons were as follows.
