National Tribute Paid to Ex-Secre-
 tary's Memory.

NEW YORK, Feb. Alt has been decided that the funeral of the late William C., Whitney will take place to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock at Grace church.
 A special train will leave the New York Central depot for Woodlawn cem- etery after the service at the church.
 The death of William c. Whitney, who passed away at his home, S7I Fifth avenue, has been received with sincere expressions of regret on all. sides. Such universally expressed sor row is seldom noted.
 The following gentlemen have been named as pallbearers at Mir. Whit ney's funeral Grover Cleveland, Thomas F. Ryan, Elihu Root, Thomas Dolan, J. Pierpont Morgan, Grant B. Schley, Colonel William Jay, F. A. B. Widener, H. Mex. Twombley and George G. Haven.
 A Washington dispatch says Secre- tary Moody has issued an order to commanding officers of the navy di- recting that the flags on all ships throughout the navy and at all navy yards and stations shall be half masted tomorrow, the day of. Secretary Will liam O. Whitney's funeral. Secretary Moody has expressed wish that ev cry honor shall be paid to Mir. Whit ney's memory.
 At special meeting of the Jockey club, on motion of the chairman, Au- gust Belmont, it was resolved that the organiza tion attend in body the fu- neral of William O. Whitney, and the following resolution was offered by F. K. Sturgis, secretary:
 '.aThe Hon. William Collins Whitney died at his home in this city on Tues day last. It is therefore fitting that we, his sorrowing friends and associ- ates, should meet and place upon our minutes record of our respect for his many honorable qualities as a man and our deep sorrow for the loss which we have sustained.
 Gifted with rare intelligence and singular ability, it is given to but few men of MT. Whitney's age to make as deep mark upon the records of the community in which they reside as was his fortune. To the counsels of the nation he brought farseeing as- sistance and advice, always advocat- ing courageous policy and ever just and considerate of all. With an open hand and keen appreciation of what was best in the higher walks of art, literature and science, his aid was nev- CT appealed to in vain. Liberal and broad minded in his patronage of sport, to those of us here assembled who had the good fortune to be con- stantly with him in matters pertaining to the best interests of the turf in this country he has bequeathed a memory which will ever recognize how ear nestly he strove for what was pure, honorable and right as well as what was wise, enterprising and judicious. His strong personality and many win ming traits have truly endeared him to wide circle of friends, and his death has created a void which for many years to come will be sadly and sor- rowfully remembered"

AFTER MANY YEARS.
aBilly" Wright Gets Back Into Poli-
 tics-Fire Marshall for Day.

Tn order to overcome the law pro- hibiting public officials from receiy- ing increases in salaries Chief Snagg resigned on January 26 and W. H. Wright, former member of "Old Phoenix" was elected to succeed him. MT Wright held the position 0ntil the next day when he resigned end Chief Snagg was re-appointed @ith an increase of salary Of $500 a Sear. as provided for in the annual estimates. All MT Wright got out of the office was the distinction of being entitled to place among ex-chief en- gineers of the Waterbury fire depart mnt. MT Wright's friends hope that he will do better than this in his efforts to secure place on the board of assessors, an appointment for which it is said he is being backed by an influential body of citizens. MT Wright was good fireman when he was in the harness and if he had de- cfded to remain at the top of the ladder when he got there the depart ment would not have a bad man in the position.

Credit Argument.

Our strong position in the credit or Is a matter attained by ms daunted persistence in majttars ors quality and nttleness of price, backed by the most liberal and generous cred-i 1t proposition ever offered to the pub lie by the Guarantee Credit ClothinaI Co.
 Anybody can buy for cash! That's easy" There's no special honor in the fact that one can walk into a store, lay down in cold cash the full prica asked for an article and 90 become the possessor. Come to think of 1t it'al the coldest sort of a proposition. @ mere transaction. To have credfw given you is entirely different. Makes you feel as though you were entitled to it. What a great honor it is to be able 10 enter as store. select such goods as you want and arrange to pay for them in amounts and at times that are convenient to you. What great dignity there is to credit, and how far reaching its beneficial effects
 A large per cent of the worlds business owes it's existence to this great comodity. To buy for caGhf then, is very ordinary. But to buy on credit is always a distinction that onGI should be proud of.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Officials Deny Rumor
of Orient Alliance.
No Trackage Rights Have Been
Given to Orient Road.
ORIENT's PROPOSAL.
Some Correspondence Has Pass
ed Between the Officials.
This Seems to Be Only Founda.
ton for the Report.

The report that the Kansas City,
Mexico & Orient railroad will be
operating its own trains into Kansas
City by January 1, 1905, is not credit
ed by local railroad men. 1t has been
stated that the Orient's Kansas City
service had been made possible by the
securing of track rights on the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad from
EIIInor, Kan, to Usage City, Kan, a
distance of AZ miles. This statement,
however. is denied by local Santa Fe
officials. One official who is in a po-
sition to know about the matter said
today:
There has been some talk of the
Orient securing track rights from our
road between Ellinor and Usage City
and some correspondence has passed
between the officials of the Orient and
the heads of the Santa Fee regarding
the matter, but 1 hardly think that
such a thing is possible. Something
may have been done of which I have
not been acquainted but generally the
story is not given much credit
According to some reports the
Orient will have its own tracks built
from Fairview, Okla, to Wichita,
Kan, $50 miles, within thirty days.
1t is also stated that the work of con-
struction between Wichita and Eli
nor, 5 miles, is being pushed rapidly,
tracks will be made within six months
1t is also their intention to run into
Kansas City from Usage City over the
Missouri Pacific. This will continue
until the Orient can build it's own
track between these points.

HOT TEMPERANCE WAR.
Mound City Prohibitionists and Ants
in Fierce Struggle.

Mound City, Kan. July 5.-The trial
( of H o. Trinkle. county attorney of
Linn county, began in the district court
here July f. Trinkle is accused of ac-
cepting bride of $3.50 to dismiss a
case against J. V. Birmingham of Pres
colt for violating the prohibition liquor
law Birmingham is now serving four
months sentence a result of a fight
made by the attorney of a local tenn
missai of the case. He pleaded guilty
on four counts.
Considerable feeling is shown by
some of Trinkle's friends, who assert
that the law which fixes the fine for
violations of the prohibition law at not
less than 500 on each count, allows the
county attorney $25 of that amount as
attorneys fees They say that If
Trfnkle accepted that amount the ac-
ton was warranted. 1t is probable
that there will be practically an agree
ment as to facts, if not as to motives,
and the construction the judge places
upon the law will settle the case.
Other cases have been brought against
the county attorney since the bribery
action was taken. First, suit was filed
in the supreme court to GUST him from
office for the alleged nonperformance
of duty. Still another charge of ac
cepting money Illegally has been brought
in the district court.
A genuine temperance war has de-
veIoped, and since the charges of
bribery were made a sentiment in favor
of general inquiry into alleged cases
to make a thorough investigation of
the affairs, not only of the county at
torneys office, but of that of every 9TH
er county official.

Jude to the Fourth Sunday night at Cedar
Junction, where a key of beer tap,
resulted in the killing of and the ia
tai wounding of another, and the lodging
in Jail of two others. A pistol hand
ed to John Reynolds, young negro, who
was told it contained only blank cart
ridges. He discharged it and 1.le ball
struck VIII Culp. 20 years old, killing him
almost instantly.
About the same time a fight took place
and Tom Butcher, a young man, was
stabbed over the heart and it is reported
that he, too, is dead. Jack Butcher, his
brother. is in Jail in this city charged
with the .stabbing,. and young REYNOLDS is
coroner's jury for the killing of Culp.
1t is stated, however, that the shoot
ing was not Intentional, and Butcher de-
mics that he is the one who stabbed his
brother. All the parties have resided at
Cedar Junction for years.

TRY TO FIX RULES.
Chicago Car Service Association Does
Not Relish Legal Proceedings.

Chicago, July after a confer
ence with United States District At
torney Bethea held behind closed
doors the legal counsel of the Chicago
roads have decided to try to amend
the rules and regulations of the Chi
cago Car Service association in a way
that will avoid proceedings in the
court to disrupt the organization.
The Coal Dealers association.
which is making the attack upon the
legality of the organization, was not
represented at the conference and has
not been informed regarding the
changes the attorneys propose to
make. 1t is understood, however.
that an effort will be made to re-
organize the association upon the lines
of the Western Trunk Line commit
tee. which organization is said TECH
nically to evade the provisions of the
Sherman act. If this is done car SER
vice rules imposing demurrage upon
cars detained longer than "a hours for
will be assessed and coll
lected by individual roads instead OF
by the association. This will leave
the roads to deal individually with
the shippers. presumably with gen
tIemens agreement" to the effect that
no road will waive demurrage charges
with a view to influencing shipments.

MEET ST. LOUIS RUSH.
katy Will RebaIIast an Old Line to
Use i'm Emergency.

Kansas City, Mo, July Sc. M.
Alvord, general superintendent of the
katy" who was in his special car at
the Union depot several hours yester-
day, said that large force of men
would be put to work at once bal
lasting the "Katy's" line between Pa
ola and Parsons, so the speed of the
trains from Kansas City to Texas can
be increased. The katy" uses the
Frisco tracks from here to Paola, and
is able to make good time all the way
to Texas, except over the distance
from Paola to Parsons.
The "Katy" had intended to estab-
lish passenger service to the worlds
fair over its old freight line from Pa
ola, but Mr.. Alvord says in all proba-
bility the plan will be given up. This
freight line is one of the oldest in Mis-
souri,, but the "Katy'' has not used it
for passenger business. AS the
worlds fair business increased so
rapidly, however, it was thought adj
visable to touch the track up a little
and send worlds fair passenger trains
that way. The heavy rains this spring
have played havoc with the track be-
tween Paola and st. Louis, and even
now the water is so high around
portion of the track that no work of
repairing can be done. 1t is on ac-
count of this that the katy" will
probably abandon the plan to operate
worlds fair trains that way.
