WICHITA WILL FIGHT.
Raises a Fund to Continue
Freight Rate War.

Wichita. Kan, Dec 3O.-The grain men
and millers of Wichita on Tuesday, De-
cember 20, in less than fifteen minutes
raised nearly two thousand dollars to
continue the fight for reasonable freight
rates. Wichita has just cause and
proposes to fight it out on that line.
The official announcement says: IF
the corporations know when they are
well off, they will show a disposition to
do the right thing before the entire state
is aroused. Every business interest in
the city is making common cause with
the grain men and no surrender is the
shibboleth of the citizens of the peer
less princess 1t is expected ten thous-
and dollars will be raised before the end
of the week to defend against the i'm
position of continued tribute exacted by
the carrier companies. Unless relief is
granted soon the freight question will
be the dominating issue in the southern
Kansas campaign next fall"

BOLIVAR MAKES DISCOVERY
Says Names on Pictures in State
House Are Transposed

C. P Bolmar made the discovery
Tuesday afternoon in a visit to the
state house that the labels on some of
the pictures of former secretaries of
state hanging in that department have
been mixed up. He says that the name
Of w. H. II. Lawrence is attached to
the picture of R. A. Barker. while
Barker's name is on T.awrence's pic
ture. Whether there are any other
mistakes he does not know.
Barker ard Lawrence served as state
secretaries away back in the sixties.
On the walls of the main office of the
secretary Of state are pictures of all
the secretaries since the organization
Of the state. In the corner of each
frame is a slip of paper with the name
of the man to whose picture it is at
tached-or that is what is intended.
Hill P. Wilson, assistant secretary of
state, was inclined to doubt the cor
rectness of Mr.. Bolmar's allegations,
but Bolmar insisted that he knew Law
renee and was positive that the labels
had been transDosed. To settle the
matter George W. Martin, of the State
Historical society, was summoned, but
Mr.. Martin said he did not know the
difference. Mr.. Wilson is now trying to
find others who personally knew the
old-tiTne secretaries.

March IL. The election was April S. The
time for the primaries this year will
depend largely on what arrangements
can be made for combining the city pri-
maries with the county, state or con-
gressional primaries 1t is likely that
the city politicians will be in favor of a
primary about the middle. of March.
There is no great fight on foot, and the
sentiment seems to be that the shorter
time between the primary and the cleo
ton the better.
Chairman Page said today: st can't
say what the committee is likely to do
about the time for the primaries. I
have not talked to many of the COM
mittee, but 1 expect that before long
people will begin to make up their
minds about such things Soon after
the first of the year, L will call meet
ing of the executive committee, and the
executive committee will decide upon a
time for the meeting of the committee.
We will try to combine the city primary
with some of the other primaries which
will have to be held, and so save ex-
pense of two separate elections
