new ALARM SYSTEM.
The Western Union Is Putting In
One Here.

W. c. Carswell. manager of the
Western Union and of the A. D. T.
service in Topeka, is arranging for
the installation of a system of watch
mems reports from the big mills. fac
tories and business houses Of the city.
The object of the system is to make
it impossible for watchmen to neglect
their duties as did the watchmen at
the Parkhurst-Davis building.
1t also appears that this great i'm
provement in the A d. T. service
may have been induced by the fact
that there is now pending before the
city council an application for a
franchise to put in just such a system
of call boxes as is proposed by the
present management of the A. D. T.
The service given by the A. D. T. in
Topeka has not been the best This
has invited competition, and the COM

posed franchise ordinance was re-

new COAL RATE.
r
Reduction of 13 Cents per Ton
on Slack.
Lump Coal Will Stand at Old
Rate of SI.4O.
TOPEKA WANTED MORE
Wanted a Price of so Cents for
Hauling Slack.
Capital City Still at Disadvan-
tage on Coal.

The first fruits of Topeka's fight for
lower freight rates were plueked today
Announcement was made from the gen
eral freight office of the Santa Fe rail-
road that it mad entered into formal
AGREEMENT with the Rock Island, the
Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific rail-
roads, to haul slack coal into this city
from Pittsburg and the southern Kan
sas fields for $112 per ton. instead of
S1.25 as heretofore charged. At the same
time it was stated that no reduction
would be made on the transporta ton
of lump COAL and that the old rate of
Sl4O will be maintained. The conces-
sion was a direct OutgrOWth of the con-
ference between the business men of
Topeka and Paul Morton president
of the Santa Fe.
Within a few days, w. A. Poteet,
chairman of the Transmissouri Freight
Bureau, will announce the time at
which the new rate goes into effect. 1t
applies to Topeka alone.
This city asked for a rate of 80 cents
on slack and $1.05 on lump coal. It
based its demands upon what the rail-
roads are doing for some of the COM
peting cities. Everyone of them enjoys
better rates than Topeka. Kansas CITY
gets both lump and slack coal for 80
cents ton and is a few miles farther
from the mines; Atchison has a fiat
rate on both grades of coal of $1.00 per
- A4Se1 81 w VI H. also d rev miles Idr-
ther, ana St. Joseph, Mo, much farther
removed from the mines, gets the Atchi-
son rate of S1.0O Against these Topeka
must pay $1.12 for slack and S140 for
lump coal A concession of Is cents is
a good one. but something should have
been done for lump coal as we'll
General Freight Agent KOontz, of the
Santa Fe, is out of the city and q
statement could not be obtained from
his office with regards to the reduction,
further than that advices had been re-
ceived that they had been made and
would be declared effective shortly
When Paul Morton was in the city he
made a long statement to the members
of their commercial club at the opnn
meeting on the morning of May IA, at
which time he said the following con-
corning the requested reduction on coal
rates:

NOW IN SUPREME COURT.
Parsons Asylum site Controversy
Reaches Highest Tribunal.

The controversy over the condemna-
ton of part of the site for the new
Parsons asylum has reached the SUI
preme court 1t has been pending in
various places and in different forms
for the last two years.
Part of the land that was wanted
for the asylum was owned by what is
known as the Stevens estate A board
Of appraisers was appointed to con-
denim It and its value was fixed at
S12.170. This did not suit either the
state or the executors of the estate
The state board of charities thought
it too high and the executors thought
it too low and both appealed to the
supreme court
Through some misunderstanding it
was supposed that the states appeal
had been dismissed and that the state
would accept the decision Of the ap-
praisers. A warrant was issued for
the amount by George f. Cole, who
was state auditor at the time and it
was receinted for by L. S. Crum as
agent for the executors He turned it
over to the county treasurer of La
bette county along with those for the
other land owners. but the executors
refused to accept it and it remained
in the county treasury for months
The state finally made q motion to
dismiss the appeal of the executors,
and the district court Of Labette coun-
ty sustained the motion. Now the ex-
ecutors appeal to the supreme court
from that decision

Risks of Mutual Companies in
Kansas Over $IS,OOO,OOO.
Farmers Alliance Company Has
Membership of 5000.

There are seventeen mutual fire in
surance companies in Kansas. Most
of them are farmers companies and
operate mostly in the localities where
they were organized, yet they are
growing very rapidly.
The annual report of c. H. LuIing,
superintendent of insurance, shows
that these seventeen companies started
in the year 1908 with 46,33O mem
bers. During the year they added to
this membership 1898, an increase
of more than 80 per cent
During the year 1903 the risks writ
ten by these companies aggregated
s18,169,677. The report of the insur-
ance department does not show the
average rate charged by the mutual
companies. but the total expenditures
of all the companies amounted to
$177, 1863. This would make the in
surance cost less than SO cents on
each 500. as against $1.15, the aver
age rate charged by the stock COM
panies. The business of the stock
companies, too is largely in the towns
where fire protection ought to make
the rates lower than in the country
while the business of the mutual COM
panies is largely on the farms.
The total income of the mutual
companies from all sources for 1903,
amounted to $209,3S3 or $31,914
more than the exDeditures.. This
surplus goes to the resources of the
companies and is. of course. the prop
erty of the mem bers-

TEMPORARY PRICES.
Senator Dangberg Bellows that Hay
Will Remain at a Good Price,

Yesterday Senator Dangberg canie
down from the home ranch and spent
the day in this city. IN speaking #
the valley he said:
Yes it is true that we have the
heaviest crop in a number of years
and all of the farmers are cutting the
finest quality of crops that has been
raised in severai sea sens. The dcy
weather and plenty q water has had
the desired effect. In fact all the
crops are in excellent condition and
prosperity is abroad IN Carson valley.
Il noticed that the Appeal stat II
that the price Of hay is falling This
is only true in measure, as q matter
Of fact OR company is buying hay and
paying a bGc-er price than we did
last season. Some Of the first crop
was disposed CT at 2 lower price, bu:
crop that is coming. The hay mark ct
will be practica'y the same as Ia It
year. There will be Just as much hay
sold, just as many cattle fed On the
farms and more demand fer hay this
year than there was last. The quality
Of hay in Carson valley is known the
coast over, and it is the outside buy
er that endeavCrs to beat down the
prices This viii be a hard matter
to do as California has been a little
| shy on hay this season, while Nevada
has an excellent crop, and the cattle
must be fed.
| or course Carson Valley looks tow
ard the outside world for its market.
The local consumption would not use
one half the production of the valley,
while that sold in this city amounts
! to very little comparatively. Tonopah,
the canal, the now discoveries where
| teaming is in progress is what makes
the market and as there is a brisk
demand coming every day is does
not look like low prices. There may
be temporary fluctuatiOn in the mar
ket, as there is On every marketable
product, but as a whole the Nevada
farmer can loCE forward to a pros
closes there will be little if any hay
left in Carson Valley that is not sold
or fed to the stock. There has never
been too much hay cut up that way
and there will be none too much this
year. The hay will sell just about
where it did mast year and NAV even
advance a little over the current
prices Of the past season.

GOOD FOR STEAM.
Nevada Coal to be Used on Tonopa1
Road.

According to j. NJ. McSwe eney, the
contractor who built the grade of the
Tonopah railroad, there is goDd
prospect that the coal lying in the hills
about CoaldalC, Oh the route of the
new line, will prove 10 be valuable
fuel and that large quantities of It
may be shipped to Nevada points or
factory and domestic Use.
I'VE used some OF it in our work" he
said and found it to be very salts
factory fuel. It steams we'll and
while not as good as the higher grades
of western and eastern coal it answers
the purpose well ana is by far the the
cheapest fuel that can be obtained in
these parts. OF course. the coal that
We obtained came from the upper
veins which are probably not as good
as those lying further under ground.
understand that Mr.. Trip and She
others Interested propose to devel0n
these coal lands and go they do l I'M
agin that they have a ready sale fot
their product
Mr.. McSweeney thinks that it is but
a short time until Tonopah will b!
supplied with mills that will reduce
practically al the ore within her lin
it's without shipping. He says that
plans are now being gone over for tht
erection Oh such mills.
The traffic of The new road, he Says
exceeds expectations. Not only ar:
the ore shipments exceedingly heav!
but the commercial shipping is enCr
