ALLEN as A JOKER.

Henry Allen, of ottawa. chairman OF
the state board of charities. and con-
gressional candidate in the Second dis
trict against Congressman Bowersock,
is noted as a joker. He could talk a
grizzly bear into a good humor. He
was in Lawrence Thursday at the re-
quest of Chancellor Strong to talk over
the journalistic course in the state uni
yersity and incidentally he called on his
opponent in the congressional race,
which brought forth the following in
Lawrence paper:
when Henry Allen was in town to-
day, he strolled down to the mill to see
CONGRESSMAN Bowersock. Not finding
him in the office, he wandered on down
to the bridge, and discovered Mr.. Bow
ersock on the dam below, helping with
hand spike to move a stone. Hey, you
down there called Allen from the
bridge above. I know some property of
yours that needs repairing worse than
that does Mr.. Bowersock looked up,
and seeing who it was leaning over the
railing, made a megaphone of his hands
and called back, Then that story have
heard about how you are trying to de-
stroy my fences in Franklin county IS
true, is it?' And then Henry went down
on the dam and they talked about the
hornless catfish that were swept away
by the flood. and what the prospects
might be for a good potato crop in the
Kaw valley in the summer of 1906"

GAR FAMINE THE CAUSE

The shortage of coal on the local mar
ket and the shortage of wheat in To-
peka warehouses have been largely
brought about by the car famine which
prevails among the railroads operating
in this state. The car famine is direct
ly responsible for the fact that there
are in Topeka grain elevators and mills
only about $50, 900 bushels of wheat
where there is usually three times that
amount at this season of the year. A
Topeka coal man said today that for
weeks the Santa Fe railroad had not
used a single one of it's own coal cars
for hauling coal into Topeka but that
the coal cars hauled in here belonged
to railroads of every other part of the
country. The Missouri Pacific is also
using unusually large proportion of
foreign cars for it's coal shipments. On
the Santa Fe stock. cars are being used
for eastern coal shipments.
1t appears to be the policy OF the
railroads to keep both the mills ard
the coal men operating but without any
surplus. The daily receipts of wheat
scarcely equal the capacity of the ele-
vators. OF the $4,000 bushels, making
the average receipts at the present time,
about 10000 is shipped daily to eastern
states and to Europe. All the mills
are running full time with a daily ca
pacity of 1900 bushels. At this rate
most of the mills are daily cutting into
their reserve. Wheat can, of course. be
secured at local elevators so that there
is no proba bility that the reduced SUP
ply will compel any mills to shut down.
But the event of good eastern market
would be likely to drain Topeka eleva-
tors. The railroads are hauling grain
regularly and may be able to pile up
something like the usual surplus in
Topeka before January 1, but unless
that is done the present rate of con-
sumption is likely to empty all the ele-
vators by spring, leaving nothing on
hand for that season.
The present few days of warm wealth
er are making the coal situation in To-
peka constantly better, although it will
have no influence upon coal prices. To-
peka coal retailers keep standing or
ders at the Usage and southern Kansas
mines. Most of them receive stated
shipments daily. For a week past the
local consumption has been small. Dur
ing the week before the demandfor coal
was very heavy and nearly precipitated
a famine. But now the coal men are
getting a little coal ahead although not
enough to make them. secure against
continued cold weather.
Coal confiscation by railroads is go
ing on to such an extent now that al
most no coal has been received from
southern Kansas mines for week past
The Santa Fe has stored less coal than
usual in it's Topeka yards and it is said
that none whatever has been stored on
the eastern divisions of the line.
