AN IMPENDING RATE WAR
PASSENGER OFFICIALS UNABLE TO
ADJUST THE DIFFERENCES.
Reports of Retrenchment Ordered by
the Vanderbilts and Pennsylvania
Are Exaggerated.

Passenger rates are seemingly becom-
ing much demoralized as a result of the
numerous low rate excursions There are
certain roads which are seemingly seek
ing for an excuse to cut rates in nearly
all territory. 1t is even alleged that one
Of the lines has made a one-fare rate the
round trip to New York without consult
ing competitors. The usual course when
necessity arises for cheap rates is to make
application to the association and have
the proposition submitted to vote of the
members. When the proposition is reject
ed under the rules of the association the
line desiring to do so can still make the
cheap rates by giving notice. 1t is alleged
that in this case none of these formalities
was observed. The troubles commenced in
the ST. Paul and Chicago territory, and
since the fast trains were put on there has
been more or less friction over rate mat
tiers. The fast trains were put on by the
so-called strong lines and the other lines,
designated weak for distinction. have been
credited with restlessness over the condi-
ton. All efforts for harmonizing conflict
ing interests seem futile. Further reduc-
tons in rates and filing of notices and
tariffs, or after business has been con-
tracted. has become quite common and is
growing worse. AS long as the contest
was limited TO the territory west of Chi
cago Eastern lines took but little interest
In it. The rate of one fare for round trip,
however, indicated that possibly some
trunk line road was carrying the traffic
at cut rate and this suspicion caused an
inquiry of Central Passenger Association
lines. The meeting of the Western Pas
senger Association in ST. Paul on Wednes-
day resulted in considerable angry talk
between the officials of various lines over
the contract rate granted to the Wood
mems convention in Indianapolis and the
Epworth League convention in Detroit.
Several other contract rates were devel-
oped and the upshot of it all was that the
association voted to head off further
trouble by making an agreed rate to Can
adam points and New York one fare for
the round trip. This was done ostensibly
for the benefit of the public school teach
ers, but 1t is to be an open rate and any
one may take advantage of it. The rates
will be in effect from June IL to Sept. l,
although the tickets will only be sold dur
ing the ten days succeeding June IL. Con-
servative officials disposed to treat
the disturbance as of little Importance,
and they generally discountenance the
probability of there being any danger of
rate war of any magnitude, as the high
er officials will soon put a veto on such
arrangement.

The Barefoot BOY.

The barefoot boy is coming. and right now he has
the blues,
shed his shoes.
He's anxious for the freedom of the barefoot
boy at dawn.
Who does not have to bother with the footwear
He wants to-wade in water every morning when
he goes
To school with other youngsters. and get mud
between his toes
The barefoot boy is coming. and. ere long. he
will be here.
With feet tough and dirty as they could be
made, fear.
He'll have stone bruises on them and will oft be
walking lame,
And vet you may be certain he'll be happy lust
the same.
He'll stub toe quite often. yet little thing
Won't tsaze him for a minute. He'll be johnny
at he bat, "'
The barefoot boy is coming. and II you were once
boy
You know that when see him will find hin,
full OF JOY.
He win not mind the bruises. Has not every
youngxter paid
In injured feet-full value for the chance he got
TO wade?
He viii not mind mosquitoes. nor for brier
scratches care.
And ne viii sheer at stockings-when his sum-
burned feet ere bare.

Matt w. Hall, one of Saline county s
principal citizens, recently made a good
road by accident. Near his place was a
piece of highway that was as near i'm
passable as Missouri roads get to be, and
that is very near 1t. lone day." he says,
''!n a fit of desperation 1 narrowed the
road up as one would harrow any cultiva-
BILE land. graded it up and left it. 1t soon
grew dry and hard, and to this day II is as
impervious to rain as an asphalt pave
ment." Mr.. Hall attended the recent good
roads conference in st. Louis and was
mildly surprised TO learn that narrowing
is one of the methods of road improvement
which Is in highest favor among experts.

EARM and GARDEN
i INTERESTS. ;

Buckwheat is considered by many TO re-
quire only inferior soils and Indifferent
treatment. but while IL is true that buck
wheat will grow under these conditions,
there is scarcely any crop that will re-
spond to good treatment more promptly
than this. Too frequently the land IS
plowed just before sowing and hastily and
imperfecty fitted. while II should be
plowed early, so as to allow time for thor
ough fitting. Early blowing and thorough
fitting almost insure good crop. while a
drought will greatly damage, If IL does not
ruin, the crop sown on late-plowed and
badly fitted soil. Buckwheat is usually
sown the last week of June or the first OF
July and at the rate of three or four pecks
of seed per acre.

Denied by President Ramsey.

Joseph Ramsey, jr., president of the Wa
bash Railroad, who is closely associated
with the financial interests of the Goulds,
yesterday, at Pittsburg. made a general
denial of the reports from New York to the
effect that the Goulds are seeking control
of the Pennsylvania and other roads East
THE statements" said he, "are entirely
untrue, particularly so in the matter of
the control of the Pennsylvania and Bal
timore & Ohio. The reports affecting the
central of the Reading and Erie are like
wise baseless. The Wabash is at present
engaged in completing the gigantic prof.
ects outlined several years ago, and has
little time for anything else"

When Wonler, Carved.

In George rs reign it was the bound
en- duty of the mistress of a country
house to carve for her guests. Ell
quette demanded it Of her, and no one
might relieve her Of her arduous task,
not even the master To the latter was
only assigned the easy labor of passing
the bottle and looking on while each
joint was placed in turn before his wife
or daughter, as the case might be, and
by her rapidly manipulated. Carving
became one of the branches Of good
feminine education, and there were pro-
fessional carving masters who taught
the young ladies.
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu took
lessons in the art three times a week
and ON her fathers public days made
practice of having her own dinner an
hour or two beforehand. A guest who
did not receive his portion from his
hostess own fair hands would have
considered himself much aggrieved.

Some Smart Answers.

Here are some samples of what the
British schoolboy can do when he tries
hard:
''John Wesley was a great sea cap
tain. He beat the Dutch at Waterloo
and by degrees rose to be Duke of We'll
lington. He was buried near Nelson
in the Poets corner at Westminster alb
bey."
'The sublime porte is very fine old
wine"
'The possessive case is the case when
somebody has got yours and won't give
it to you"
''The plural Of penny is twopence."
':In the sentence, 4 saw the goat butt
the man. butt is conjunction be-
cause it shows the connection between
the goat and the man."
"Mushrooms always grow in damp
places. and so they look like umbrel-
las"
'"The difference between water and
air is that air can be made wetter, but
water cannot"

Long and Short Hair.

Pranche says: Long hair was the
distinguishing characteristic of the
TeutOnic tribes. 1t was a mark Of the
highest rank among the Franks. none
Of whom but the first nobility and
princes of the blood was permitted to
wear it in flowing ringlets, an express
law commanding the people to cut their
hair close around the middle Of the
forehead" And this badge of servitude
and sign manual of plebeianism in one
century has become the essence Of style
and glass of fashion in another, the
freak of one age, the fancy of another.
