GOVERNOR BAILEY WAS THERE
Got Some Pointers on Horse Training
From Prof. Gleason.

Some people who have not seen the
show may wonder why Gleason, the
horse tanner, draws such big crowds at
his exhibitions at the fair grounds, but
anyone who saw him last night would
not wonder at it. The exhibition which
he gives is not only something new as
g. thrill producer but it has an edu-
cational value to every person who
ever has occasion to handle or drive a
horse.
Three different animals were tanned
last night. One was a young horse
that had never been broken but had
become spoiled to a great extent
through misguided attempts at break
Ing. The second was a high-strung,
nervous horse whose principal fault
was that he was afraid of anything that
afforded an opportunity for a scare,
from a piece of paper to a steam en-
CINE. And the third was a fighter, a
horse that had resisted every effort at
tanning and which was really vicious
horses. All We're high-bred and fine
animals.
The first horse bucked as viciously as
q wild west broncho at the start, but in
less than ten minutes he had given up,
not only to the saddle, but was sub
missively hauling Gleasons buggy
around. And he stood perfectly still
when the buggy was tipped over, the
cushion thrown on his back, and vari-
Gus other indfgnities were offered to his
horseship.

He could be driven as long as he saw
nothing to become frightened at, but
at the least provocation he would run
way. During his lesson tin pans
were beaten around him, a bass Ss'unl
was beaten on his back and he was
made to submit to various other noises.
In five minutes he was driven right up
to where the band was playing and
stood with his head within foot of a
tuba. Another lessen he had to learn
was to go under q big blanket held up
in front of him. This was difficult
matter at first but after a few trials he
would do it with scarcely any urging.
But the most difficult thing was to ac-

MAY FAVOR PEAVEY.
Interstate Commerce Commission Up-
holds the Union Pacific.

The interstate commerce commission
at Washington, D. c., mas just decided
an important case in favor of the Union
Pacific railroad, as against rival car
f1ers. The case is of more than usual
interest to patrons in Kansas and Ne
braska
The charge was made to the inter
state commerce commission that the
Union Pacific was making Peavey &,
20, a rebate on shipments of wheat re-
celVed at the elevators at Kansas City
omaha, Sioux City and other points
where wheat and grain was transferred
from the cars to the elevators in the
form of payment for the service of un-
loading the cars. The price paid az
cents per hundred.
The commission on May last ordered
the Union Pacific Railway company to
make appearance before the commits
sion ana show why this was not I'M
reasonable as charged. On May %, the
railroad filed answer and the case mas
just been decided.
AS a result the allowances made by
the Union Pacific to the grain elevators
at Kansas City, Omaha, Sioux City and
other points, have been upheld by the
interstate commerce commission. The
railroad company made the contention
and the commission upheld the cOnten-
ton that the compensation paid for the
elevator or transfer service, by the
Union Pacific to the Peavey company,
is not unreasonable, or excessive; that
the Union Pacific is entitled to perform
and is not guilty of wrong-doing be-
cause incidentally those employed to
transfer the grain are aided more or
less in another line of business in which
they are engaged.
The commission adds that any injury
or detriment resulting to rival carriers
under the arrangement mentioned is
something which the law does not seek
to prevent.
1t was charged that the rates paid
the Peavey company by the Union Pa
cific for the work performed are in OK
cess of what the work is actually worth
and is therefore plainly n case of maxi
ing a rebate to the shipper, which is
unlawful.
The railroad company claimed before
the commission that the rate was not
an excessive rate, but that 1T was
agreed upon in order that the railroad
could nave its cars emptied promptly
at the various terminals where the
transfer service was performed, so that
the cars could be Immediately gotten
back into service. The claim was made
that when the crops were moving it
was important to have all cars emptied
promptly and sent back to the wheat
belt. The fact that the cars We're
promptly, the railroad claimed,
was worth all to the railroad that they
were paying for the service.
1t is interesting to know that the rate
of cent and a quarter per hundred
paid for the service amounts to from
IS to $3.50 per car Ihe average car OF
SO. 900 pounds capacity costs the Union |
Pacific ST. so for transfer service Inc
rate of from IA to 10 cents per hundred
Is charged for moving wheat from the |
wheat belt to the Missouri river Thus |
It is seen that the cost of tran sfer ser |
vice is a pretty good per cent of the |
amount the railroad charges for the |
shipment of carload.

with More Than Magical
Effect with
CUTICURA REMEDIES.
A Remarkable Testimonial from
a Most Intelligent and
Trustworthy Lady.
CUTICURA REMEDIES.

" A tumor came on my necG and in q
day or two it was as large as half an
orange. I was very much alarmed for
fear it was malignant. My friends
tried to persuade me to consult my
physician; but dreading that he would
insist on using the knife, I would not
consent to go. Instead, got Cuticura
Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment /
took the former according to direc.
lions, and spread a thick layer of the
Ointment on the swelling. On renew
ing it would bathe my neck in very
warm water and Cuticura Soap. In q
few days the Cuticura Ointment had
drawn the swelling to a head, when it
broke. Every morning it was opened
with large sterilized needle, squeezed
and bathed, and fresh Ointment put
on. Pus and blood, and a yellow,
cheesy. humorous matter came out. In
ABOUT three or four weeks time this
treatment completely eliminated the
tumor. The soreness that had ex-
tended down into my chest was all
gone, and my neck now seems to be
perfectly well.
About five or six years ago my SIS
ter had a similar experience, used the
Cutlcura Remedies with magical effect.

monial, with the further privilege OF
revealing my name and address to such
persons as may wish to substantiate

This year the floods have damaged

Hutchinson News: A year ago there
was a great deal of criticism of the
legislature, much of it because of fac
tional politics, and Governor Bailey
was mixed into the discussion, be-
cause large appropriation was not
property by the flood. The high
waters this year have been more dam
aging than those of last year. If the
legislature had started to help out the
losers a year ago it would have had
to do the same thing this year, and
also make good other losses by the
elements. AS the News pointed out a
year ago, this insurance business
would have been fmpracticable and
almost ridiculous. And yet a lot of
people thought they were mad at the
legislature and the governor because
they only did what was reasona BILE
and right, and refused to make fools
of themselves even along a senti-
mental line. Everybody now knows
that the legislature and the governor
did everything that they could do, but
1t was small thanks they got for it t
the time. The year has brought them
the satisfaction of knowing that the
people who criticized them then only |
did so from politics or that they now
