GADSDEN PEACHES
 ARE NOT INJURED
YIELD WILL BE VERY LARGE AND ALREADY THE ENTIRE CROP HAS PRACTICALLY BEEN SOLD AHEAD.

Gadsden April 2S.-(Special) )-There are several large peach orchards in the Gadsden district and now that all danger of a freeze has passed and the fruit is giving promise of large yield the own CTS are jubiant. The crop promises to be the largest ever shipped from this district and already almost the entire crop has been sold ahead. The demand is very heavy from the fact that there is no surplus stock in the hands of the packers.
 Charles w. Ewing, a leading citizen of Gadsden, has a large orchard at Noun tainboro, on Sand Mountain, and has just returned from an inspection of his crop and he says his prospects are very hatter- ing, and such is the report from all over the Gadsden district. The Menlo, Ga, district, just thirty miles above Gadsden, promises to excel all previous records, and if so the crop will be an immense one This district now excels the Cali fornia fruit belt and rivals the Georgia peach belt.
 This is a fact which has been proven by a comparison of the fruit shipped from the three places Gadsden is fast coming to the front as a peach growing section, as well as cotton factory, steel making and iron producing centre.

Where Is Her Trunk ?

ut is at 1902 says Matilda c. Reese,
and then her mind is confused and she
cannot remember the name, nor street.
Her story seems to be this: Her people
do not care to have her live with them,
and she found a place to work in To-
peka They finally objected to her 2
year-old child, and she left her trunk
and went to relatives in Auburn. She
was not permitted to stay there and
walked back to Topeka, carrying the
child and heavy valise. A police officer
found her wandering about, sick and
distressed, and took her to Mrs. Thorpe.
She was cared for at the station two
days. and then taken to the Crittendon
Home until something could be learned
about her and her clothing found. After
a. notice in the papers a doctor in Au-
burn telephoned Mrs. Thorpe the ad-
dress of her relatives, and Mrs. Thorpe
wrote them, receiving no reply lnfor-
nation of the trunk would be gladly
received, as work has been found for
her when she gets it.

The rates on lumber into Topeka are
not SO bad as the freight charges on
coal, but they are nevertheless pretty
bad Lumber from Texas points to To-
pelza is 26 cents per hundred pounds,
bat the railroad companies will haul it
right through Topeka and on to Kansas
City and only charge Kansas City
total of % cents. They Will haul it up
to Lincoln, Neb.. and charge only rs
cents They will haul it from Texas
through Topeka to Lawrence for "A
cents.
These are some of the little irregulari-
ties that A. D. Walker chairman of the
board of railroad commissioners, never
sees, or seeing, never uses the power
the state gives the board to regulate.
BY the way, the railroad companies
seem to think that the Topeka traffic
will bear a still higher rate on lumber
and the Missouri Pacific has just given
notice that effective today they have
advanced the rate on lumber to Topeka
to 2715 cents. There seems to be no rea-
son for this. unless it lie in the fact
that Wichita recently complaining was
paying 2S1h cents and has received a
reduction to 271h cents. The Missouri
Pacific seems to think that Topeka is
easy, and will stand a bigger raise than
Wichita secured as a reduction. What
the Santa Fe and Rock Island will do is
not yet announced.
The above rates are on yellow pine
lumber. Now take the matter of white
pine, which comes from Wisconsin, and
we find more determinations. On this
lumber Kansas City pays 16 cents per
hundred pounds. Topeka pays % cents.
The little town of Hoyt. about fourteen
miles northwest of Topeka, gets the
same thing for 10 cents. Lincoln, Neb.,
pays 10 cents, and the village of Sol
der, Kansas, about thirty miles north
west from Topeka, and further from
the Missouri river than we are, pays
only 10 cents. This is a little story
about lumber
No matter how good a railroad law
we have if men like A. D. Walker are
to enforce it, we can never expect
justice. A good commissioner can do
more with a poor law than poor COM
missioner with a good law. What Kan
sas needs is a good commissioner to go
with a good law, although the law has
a few bad loopholes.
But when railroad laws are formulat-
ed by the railroads. and the railroads
secure the appointment of the commits
sioners to enforce the law, what can We
expect?
Kansas has a chance for the first time
of nominating and electing its board of
railroad commissioners.

THEY HAVE TO THINK.
Society of Kansas Mathematicians Il
Formed.

A meeting of interest to Kansas edu-
catlonal circles was held in Lawrence
last week when a committee of promi-
nent mathematicians of the state met
for the purpose of forming plans for the
organization of the Kansas Mathemat-
lcal society. The movement began at
the last meeting Of the Kansas State
Teachers association in Topeka when a
committee Of five was appointed to ar
range the preliminary organization.
This committee includes H. B. Newson
of the chair of mathematics of the Uni
versity Of Kansas, chairman; c. E.
Merwin, principal of Central school,
Lawrence, secretary and treasurer; r.
F. Knight, superintendent of the Wich-
tia schools; w. H. Garrett of Baker
university, Baldwin, and Miss Effie Ora
ham of the Topeka high school. These
with the exception of Mr. knight met
with Prof. Newson in Lawrence last
week and took the first steps toward
the organization of the society. The
objects of the society are the improve
ment of mathematical teaching in the
public schools of Kansas and adoption
of uniform entrance requirements in
mathematics by Kansas colleges to con-
form with the requirements recently
proposed by the American Mathematical
society. Teachers Of mathematics in all
the colleges and high schools, city and
county superintendent, high school and
grammar school principals and common
school teachers are eligible to member
ship and will be urged to join the So
ciety

LOOKS LIKE STRIKE.
Miners and Operators Fail to
Reach Agreement.

Indianapolis, Ind. March AT the
conference Of miners and operators OF
the central competitive districts today,
an Ohio delegation moved that the
scale now in effect be readopted. The
operators voted against readoption,
while the miners favored it. President
Mitchell then presented a series of res
olutions which" he said represent
the demands of the miners"
F. L. Robbins. leader of the opera
tors, argued that the conditions of the
times and the necessity of meeting
competition require a reduction of Is
per cent from the present scale of
wages
President Mitchell replied to Mr.. Rob
bins. He confined his remarks to the
arguments for reduction made by Mr..
Robbins and then said emphatically:
ct may be the parting of the
ways as Mr.. Robbins says, but
for my part 1 know what am going
to do"
This statement was interpreted by
the convention to mean that the de-
nands of the miners would not be ad-
hered to. During the recess F. L. Rob
bins, leader of the operators, said:
s'It looks like strike. The opera
tors will make no concessions-abso-
luteiy none. It is a reduction or strike. -
President Mitchell said:
ION Mr.. Robbins statement before
the convention it does look like a strike.
I expressed myself during my address
and I shall certainly adhere to it,.
