HE COST US MONEY.
Why A. ID. Walker Should Be
Opposed by Topeka.

To Editor of Topeka State Journal
The voters of Shawnee county should
use every effort, with the Shawnee del
egateS to the state convention, to pre-
vent the nomination of A. D. Walker
as railroad commissioner, for the fol-
low reasons: Because by the decision
of the board of railroad commissioners,
while A. D. Walker was chairman, the
cost of flour to the consumers of To-
pe1a and vicinity was advanced about
Is cents per barrel and the cost of mill
feed was advanced 3 cents per hundred
pounds.
This one unjust decision of that board
costs Topeka and vicinity not less than
$4,000 per annum.
For many years, prior to the creation
of our present board of railroad COM
missioners, Topeka enjoyed rate of
freight on wheat,of cents per hundred
weight below the rate to Kansas City
from the wheat fields of Kansas The
railroads had voluntarily made this D
cents differential on wheat in favor
of Topeka and had shown it to be a fair
and reasona BILE rate because, otherwise
it would never have been put into eff
feet. and surely it would have been
taken out long before March IS, 1901, if
it had been found unremunerat1Ve.
We must have men on the board OF
railroad commissioners who will deal
fairly between the transportation COM
panies and the business interests.
The record of the board of railroad
commissioners, thus far, does not show
that the aforesaid board has shown any
desire to help the shipper in any case
brought before them
On March IS. 1901, the railroads dis
continued the five cent differential, in
favor of Topeka and the millers brought
the matter to the attention of the
board of commissioners for hearing.
The board consisted at that time of
A d Walker, chairman, D. w Fin
nev. who was not satisfactory to the
railroad interests and who was dropped
at the end of his term, and J. N F1ke,
who was laid away as a commissioner
last winter by act of the legislature, the
Kansas Federation of Commercial In
terests acting as chief mourner and as
sisting at the obsequies.
OF that trio A D. Walker remains
still on the board
When the case of the scent differen-
tial in favor of Topeka was on hear
ing before the board and before rem
dering a decision, the board requested
as to their power to put the scent diff
! ferential back and compel the railroads
/ to respect the order of the board.
The attorney general gave as his
/ opinion that the board had full power
to act in the matter. yet the board re-
4 fused To grant the relief asked for by
the millers of ToDeka.
The voters have the bill to pay and
this is their opportunity to repay Mr..
1 Walker for his unwarranted and unjust
action towards the -four and feed con-
sumers of Shawnee county.
They should turn out in a body and
attend the political funeral of a man
because of his unholy love and affec-
tion for the railroad powers of the
state. HERBERT HACKNEY,
Topeka, Kan, Feb. 6.

BUTLER ACQUITTED.
Jury Returns a Verdict of SSNOt
Guilty"

Kansas City, Mo, Feb. "a special
to the Star from Fulton, No, says:
The jury in the case of Colonel Ed
Butler, the millionaire St. Louis poll
tician, on trial on a charge of bribing
19 9members of the house of delegates of
st. Louis, returned a verdict at 10
o'clock this morning which read: 1--WE
the jury find the defendant not guilty.
The jury went out at o'clock yesteF-
day afternoon When court opened at
o'clock this morning they reported
they were unable to agree upon a YER
diet and were ordered back to their
room to further consider the case.
When the jury finally reported that
it was ready to render its verdict the
defendant was not in the room. 1t took
several minutes to find him. The jury
was brought in quickly and the YER
dict was read by Judge Graves. AS its
import was realized a dozen of Colonel
Buffers friends gave forth a wild
shout and dashed out of the room ana
into the street to spread the news. But
Ter stepped quickly from his place and
shook hands with Foreman Rosser
Then he walked down the line of jurors
shaking hands with each Within a few
minutes Judge Graves polled the jury
and discharged them. Friends sur
rounded Colonel Butler and after hold
ing an informal levee all left the room,
Butler laughing and joking with those
ABOUT nlln-
Circuit Attorney Folk, who was in
the court room appeared dumbfounded.
Il thought the state presented a good
case" he said. Beyond that I have
nothing to say at this time
About IS ballots were taken accord
ing to Foreman Rosser and at the start
the jury stood 10 for acquittal and for
conviction.
-One of those voting to convict
changed after the first ballot" said
Mr.. Rosser. THE other man held out
stubbornly until 9:45 o'clock this morn
ing when he finally came into line. I
do not care to mention the names OF
the two who held out for conviction
nor the one who remained firm up to
the last moment.
The jurors did not want to cinv1c1
the defendant on the testimony OF
boodlers and perjurers. whose state
ments were flatly contradicted by men
of good character.
Again. we did not think the circum-
stances pointed to the defendant :
guilt. On the evidence of the state
even though we thoroughly credited it
there was serious doubt as to Butler 5
guilt. We considered the facts care
fully, we think we did our full duty
fairly and impartialty.'

THE kenrucklAN,s woes.

Man born In the wllds of Kentucky
is Of feud days and easy virtue. He
fisheth. fddleth, cusseth and fghteth
all the days Of his life. saith tho
Marysville (Ky) Ledger.
When he desireth to raise hell he
planteth neighbor, and 10, he reap
eth twenty-fold
He raiseth even from the cradle to-
seek the scalp Of his grandsire's en-
emy and bringeth home in his carcass
the ammunition OF his neighbours
wife's cousins uncles father-in-law,
who avengeth the deed
Yea, verify. his life is uncertain and
he knoweth not the hour when he may
be Jerled hence
He goeth forth on n journey half
shot and cometh back ON a shutter
shot
He rlseth In the night to let the
cat out and 10 taketh nine doctors
three days to pick the buckshot from
his person.
He goeth forth In Joy and gladness
and cometh back in scraps and frag-
ments.
lie calleth his ieI!owman liar and
getteth himself filled with scrap iron
even TO the fourth generation.
cyclone bloweih him into the
bosom of his neighbors wife and his
neighbor's wife's husband bloweth
him into the bosom OF Father Abra-
ham before he hath time to explain
He emptleth demliohn into him
self and shotgun into his enemy. and
his enemy's son lieth in wait on cleo
ton day and 10, the coroner ploweth
up for,y-acre field TO bury the man.
Woe, woe, Is Kentucky. for her eyes
are red with bad ShlsSey and her soul
is stained with the blood OF dami-
jitls.
