work was a drill in wand exercises, and
the apparatus work consisted of club
swinging stunts on the parallel bars
and the high far jump for which the
Turner's are noted. They pay more at

CAN'T GET THEM BACK.
Brewing Companies Must Lose Their
Bars.


Judge McCabe Of the court of Topeka
gave a decision Monday in the case of
the Imperial Brewing company against
Frank Bates which is of great import
ance 20 jointists all over the state.
Bates formerly ran a joint in To-
peka, and got possession of a. bar which
the Imperial company claimed. Bates
declared that he had bought the bar
from the company through their agent
II. A. Uterman, of Topeka The COM
pany replevined the bar claiming that
IL was not sold and was only leased
Judge McCabe, after hearing the evil
dence, decided that Bates could keep it.
If the decision holds good the brewing
companies will lose a large number of
bars which are in the possession of
jointists in the state.
The defense in the case was that the
brewing company had not complied
with the requirements of the Bush law
regarding corporations, which says that
no corporation without charter in
the state can maintain a suit for the
recovery of property or the collection
of debt within the state. No brewing
company could, or at least has not, Sc
cured a charter in the state. As the
Imperial Brewing company is a foreign
corporation doing business in the state
without a charter or having complied
with any feature of the Bush law.
Judge McCabe held that they had no
cause of action against Bates. The
points to be considered. under the de-
Tense, were: Is the Imperial company
a foreign corporations has it complied
with the Bush law; is it doing business
in Kansas. All these points were easily
proven. Judge Magaw, who represent
ed the brewing company in the suit,
will ask for a new trial, and the case
may go to the district court on appeal.
4 do not think the decision of any
great Importance" said Judge McCabe
in speaking of it. The case was clear
as put before me, and there were only
three questions to consider. If the case
goes to the district court on appeal the
plaintiff will not have to abide by the
same questions, and if other questions
arise the decision may be reversed

TRYING FOR RATES.
Odd Fellows Now Believe They Will
Get Concessions.

Grand Secretary w. II. Kemper of the
Odd Fellows of Kansas has received con-
siderable promise of success in his efforts
to secure better railroad rates than those
at first accorded by the Western Passen-
ger association for the grand lodge meet
ing in Wichita in October. H. G.. Kali,
assistant general passenger agent for the
Union Pacific at Kansas City, has written
to Mr.. Kemper assuring him that his road
will exert Itself to secure the one fare
rate desired by the Odd Fellows. The
rate to which the Odd Fellows object is
that one fare plus so cents for the round
trip except from such points where that
amount exceeds one and a third fares.
As there viii be an attendance of be-
tween 1,5Oe and 1000 at the Wichita con-
ventiOn the extra 50 cents will make an
addition of about 500 to the ordinary ex-
penses of the convention. Secretary
Kemper this morning expressed the opin-
ion that the passenger association would
back down from the rate it had at frs.
announced He thinks that the Union Pa
cific will jar loose and that the other
railroads in the state will follow.

the elevators. we get complaint from
that point and the process is repeated.
That's why / say it pays to kick.
1T seems impossible for the railroads
to furnish enough cars to do all their
business. The Frisco system has added
five thousand cars to its rolling stock
the last year OF so, but other business
besides the wheat trade has increased,
and the road is still short. Other roads
have also largely increased their rolling
stock, but they have not been able to
keep up with the increase of business
when it comes with q. rush like the
grain shipments do"
The L. Schneider Grain company, of
Otis, Rush county, is the latest to file
a complaint of car shortage with the
railroad board. 1t is on the Missouri
Pacific and says the railroad company
has not furnished it any cars since Au-
gust 90. Now its elevator is full, all
the vacant buildings in the town are
full and also several farm houses. The
elevator has been shut down since Au-
gust "a and the company says it is los
ing from 5000 to $500 day because of
the failure of the Missouri Pacific to
furnish ii cars, as it can do no business
without cars.

and fined five The Emmons woman was

wife of the defendant, got up in court and
nFed a Volley of pointed remarks She
said that her husband was in the habit of
going to the Emmons womans house
living with a man who associated wit
such people. Mrs. Ivors bore as many
marks of refinement and decency as the
other woman showed of the opposite ma
ture, and it is quite remarkable that a
man could prefer the company of the
latter, whose reputation is badly moss
grown, to that of his wife.
