Huseman Experienced.

Huseman has been wrestling ten or
more years and has been on the road
meeting all comers. This long expert
ence against some of the best little
men in the country has taught him all
the finer points OF the game. and in that
respect he will have decided advantage
over TyTrell, who, while he has received
good instruction, has not been so for
tunate in having opportunities TO learn
in the hard school of experience, Huse-
man has trained hard for the bout, and
said this morning that he was in splen-
did shape. He will have no trouble in
making the weight limit OF 136 pounds,
as ne does not weigh that much even
when out Of condition. He has done
a great deal Of outdoor work, especially
on the road. and says his wind will not
fail him. no matter how long the bout
lasts

WHAT THEY CLAIM.
Text of Freight Rate Complaint by
Grain Association.

The hearing of the evidence in sup
port of the complaint made against
the Santa Fe and Rock Island rail-
roads by the Oriental Grain Trade as
ISOLATION of Wichita, Kansas, alleging
unjust and discriminative rates on ex-
port grain from Kansas points to the
Gulf of Mexico, will undoubtedly be
held in this state.
The case is attracting a great deal
of attention among the grain export
erS and dealers all over this section
of the country. 1t is an exceptionally
important case, inasmuch as it may
have the effect of disrupting all exist
ing grain tariffs from Kansas to Gal
weston on export grains, and will prob
ably also have the effect of increas-
ing the importance of Wichita as an
export center.
The complaint as filed before the
Interstate Commerce commission, sets
forth in detail some of the alleged
wrongs, and the complaint follows in

The petition of the above named

IN DoNIPHAN COUNTY.
The Apple Crop Is Not Up to the Usual
Average.

Troy, Kan. Sept. 19.-R. H. Mont
gomery, an extensive fruit grower of
Doniphan county, shipped the first APP
pies from Troy that have been shipped
from this station this year, Saturday.
The apple crop seems to be a failure,
as there are but few in the vicinity of
Troy and only about per cent of them
are first class. Some attribute the p
pie crop failure to the cold rains during
the spring months, some to the light
frost on May 13. and others to the fact
that the orchards of the county were
not sprayed.
There are over 400. 900 apple trees in
this county, according to the statistics
in the county clerks office. and in for
mer years during this season hundreds
of apple pickers have been employed.
