General Payne has received the Official

that only two persons were involved in

dangered thereby, although Inspector
Conger, who made the investigation,

without precedent in the history of
this section Of the state prevails.
Cloudless skies, with temperature rang

for many days. Much planting has
been delayed, the farmers waiting for
rain. The village common is dried and
burned as in July or August, and the
water supply in some pastures already
IN failing. Seed that is in the ground
is slow in sprouting or does not sprout
at all. The night dews are light, and
it is feared that serious loss will re-
suit in this valley unless the dry spell
is soon broken.

with rather a shock at first, but anal
ysis of the situation shows that there is
room for nothing but satisfaction Any
thing that makes for the increase in the
earning capacity of competent men
makes for tie betterment of the world,
and If it be true that the Krupps are
paying Yankee steel workers double or
triple what they earned in American
mills, as the news message states. it
simply means that a new market has
developed for American skill, and that
if our steel trust wishes to keep its
best men it will have to meet the COM
petition of the German firm. That the
Krupps should have adopted Yankee
methods is a compliment as well as a
challenge. 1t shows that the good old
leisurely beer-drinking German days
are gone and that under Wilhelm-the
most effective ruler of his period-the
empire has awakened to an Industrial
revival that is peculiarly CHARACTERISTIC
of the time. 1t will do America good
to find that there is another race of
Yankees in the game.

FOR BETTER STOCK.

F. w. Melville, of Eudora, Kas., who
will be the superintendent in charge Of
the sheep department at the Kansas
State fair in September. is working to
create more than the usual interest in
the sheen department.
Mr.. Melville believes in sheep and
believes in Kansas, and he thinks the
two make a good combination. He has
addressed a letter to the exhibitors of
pure-bred sheep urging them to make
exhibits at the Topeka fair:
Dear Sir - The Improved Stock
Breeders of Kansas recognize the
value Of a successful state fair to the
breeders of improved stock in Kansas
and other states. With this object in
view, the association has for years been
working for the establishment of a per-
manent exhibition where the breeders
of improved stock from our own and
neighboring states could meet in
friendly competition, and at the same
time give our people an annual object
lesson in the improved breeds of live
stock
THE directors of the Kansas State
Fair associe ton have this year placed
the live stock department under the
management of the Improved Stock
Breeders association, and the associa-
ton is very anxious to make the dis
play complete success. We urgently

believe it will be of great benefit to the

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Sugar Imports Increasing.

New York Tribune.
1t is to be observed with mingled emo
tons that American imports of sugar
are increasing. Those of the fiscal year
just ended were the largest on record,
amounting to more than 2,600,000 tons.
These figures include, of course, Imports
from our insular possessions. The larg-
est former imports were in 1897 amount
ing to less than 2,46O,000 tons. The in
crease in six years has thus been more
than no. 900 tons. A dozen years ago we
were told that if a protective tariff were
maintained our domestic beet sugar in
dustries would in ten years be supply
ing all our own needs and exporting l.
100000 tons year. The protection was
provided, but there was no such devel-
opment of the beet sugar industry. Dur
ing the recent discussions over the pro-
posed system of reciprocity with Cuba
it was again and again declared in the
most cock-sure manner that If protec-
ton was maintained the domestic beet
sugar industry would in the next ten
years supply our own market and much
of the world beside.

UNJUST FREIGHT RATES.

The Southwestern Grain Journal,
which is the organ of the Kansas Grain
Dealers association, has taken up the
question of freight rates for sthe pur-
pose of showing the unjust discrimina-
ton of the railroads against Kansas
shippers.
1t would appear from the discussion
that the editor makes out good case,
and that the railroads really use the
Kansas shipper as a special object of
pillage. If the rate for first class
freight on the Rock Island in Illinois
is 1854 cents per 100 pounds, it is
pretty difficult to understand why the
rate on the same road and same class
of goods in Kansas should be 81 cents.
There is always a lot of buster about
the railroads when the legislature
meets in Kansas, and we now have
board of commissioners which is sup
posed to stand between the shipper and
the railroad and see that the people are
treated fairly. but up to this time the
board has been about as useless as a
vermiform appendix. 1t is true that
station facilities have been ordered for
a few hamlets in Kansas, but so far as
securing the people against discrimina-
lions by the railroads is concerned
there might as we'll be no board
1t has often been charged that the
railroads dominate the legislature and
every state administration, and if one
could delve beneath the surface he
might find that this is not altogether
wrong. There is way to adjust these
inequalities and bring the railroads to
time, and perhaps some day the people
will find it; but it will not be until they
refuse to be blinded by the dust the
politicians throw into their eyes.
