RAILROAD AGAINST HIM.

"People have wondered at the per.
slstescy Of the fight on Governor Bailey.
1t has been so utterly without founda-
tion and so indicative beyond all reason
that people have been surprised at It,"
says the Garrett Eagle.
"The cat Is but Of the bag at last, The
secret has been disclosed:
1.-THE railroads Of Kansas are behind
the fgh, on Bailey.
1t has been a railroad fight from the
beginning.
''ln 1890 when Bailey was a candidate
for congress the railroads fought him
and defeated him for the nomination.
The Rock Island and the Missouri Pa
clffc both used their great influence in
that district against him and but for
that Bailey would have been nominated
two to one.
"When Jim Orr, the Democratic rep
resentative Of the Missouri Pacific rail-
road at Atchison, was here last summer
! trying a lawsuit, be was telling a group
Of local politicians about how Bailey
was defeated In Atchlson county. up
to the night before the convention
he said, "Bailey's friends had CSrtis
whipped to q standstlll. Tbs-3ord came
through our office that ou,9 people WANT
cd Bailey beaten, and the " was up
with Bailey
"Slnce that time the railroads have
kept up a bitter. fight on Bailey except
the Missouri Pacific, which road broke
with the combination because they
thought the Rock Island was getting the
best Of the politieatdeal.
"As soon as the convention was oyer
last summer and Bailey had won out
single handed and alone against strong
combination, the scheme was set on foot
10 beat him. They have harassed him at
every turn Of the road They have
abused him, lnisrepresented him, and all
but blackmalled him,

Work Has Been Taken Up
on the Thomas Ranch.
BY THE WATER COMMITTEE
Then Flow Of Water in City's Pipes
Will Be Measured.

The work of combining the waters of
irrigation bitches on the Thomas place
in wooden fumes has been taken up by
the water committee of the Commercial
c}ub in an endeavor to establish the
actual flow of pure spring water in the
city's pipes on the ranch. The work
Was started a few days ago under di-
rection of Chairman Paine and will
probably be finished Up within few
days with favorable weather cond-
tons.
By using the old lumber left from
the development work the expense that
will be enttiled by the work will not
be great and it is expected that the act
ual flow of water in the pipes will be
aScertained when the fumes are fin
ished. In all about 500 feet of f1uming
will be laid. diverting the waters of
both irrioatinG bitches from their chan
nels and leaving the underground
drains high and dry. AS soon as the
fumes are completed the committee
expect to visit the ranch and take ac
curate measurements of water flowing
out of the two pipe lines.
