FARMERS WIN FIRST.
Score a Point in Contest With the
Railroads.

The mandamus action in the supreme
court by the Farmers Shipping asso-
citation to compel the Santa Fe to lease
1t elevator sites or furnish adequate
shipping facilities at three points where
1t is doing business, has been filed in
the supreme court. Chief Justice john
ston has allowed an alternative writ, re-
turnable at the April sitting of the su-
preme court
This action is the result of the de-
cision of the state board of railroad
commissioners that it has no power to
act in the matter. The Farmers asso-
citation asked that the Santa F'e be COM
PEELED to lease it site for an elevator
at each of three of its shipping points.
Abbeyville, Spearville and Zenith. The
Farmers association brought a suit
similar to this one in the Nebraska su-
preme court some time ago against the
Burlington, but the railroad company
came to time and granted everything
the Farmers company asked for.
The Farmers Shipping association is
virtually d line elevator company with
the farmers as stockholders, and there
are several thousand of them. At Bill
nngs, Okla, alone there are over three
hundred members Of the association. 1t
does business in Oklahoma, Kansas and
southern Nebraska.
The association opened it's first ele-
vator for business on July last Now
It has thirty-four shippings points, in
Guiding twenty elevators, but at some
OF these points II mas been refused sites
Tor elevators by the railroad companies,
and it is to secure such sites that this
suit is brought in the supreme court.
During the first six months it did bust
ness the association handled a million
and a quarter bushels of grain and ac-
cumuated profits amounting to almost
$4,000 on paid-up capital of $74,0
And it is asserted that at nearly every
point it raised the price of grain paid
to farmers from three to five cents a
bushel over the price paid before the
farmers elevators opened.

Il. us LAME EXCUSE.
Invented Basketball and Now Call Tt
Immodest,

The basketball people at Washburn
college are inclined to be a good deal
dissatisfied with the Kansas University
basketball girls who disappointed them
by declining to meet an engagement
for a game here tonight after promis-
ing to play. Manager Frank Leach of
the WaShburn team had had posters
and tickets printed for the game before
he found out that the university team
would not come. The K. U. girls gave
as reason for their declination that
they had come to the conclusion that
it was immOdest for them to appear in
bloomers even in a basketball game.
They have cancelled all engagements
for the season.
TT has taken the university girls
quite a while to find out that the game
is immodest," said Manager Leach to-
day. "They invented the western form
of basketball and have played it for
eight years. 1t is the same game that
Washburn is playing and that is play
ed all over the country. 1 don't think
that they wanted to meet the Wash
burn girls. Our team defeated them
last year and has been itching to get
another chance at them. The Wash
burn girls have been wanting to hang
it on them on a large scale and they
would have done it. I think this mod
esty business is a thin covering for
their anxiety to keep out of the mixup
with the Washburn girls. They are
scared"

Mr.. Snyder denies this emphatically. He
says:
1.-The only way they can get me out of
the race for councilman is to beat me
out. I am in it to stay"
The fight between Mr.. Holiday and
Mr. Snyder promises to be an interest
ing one. Mr.. Holiday said today: Il
told them that 1 wouldn't run against a
Republican for the nomination, but 1
had just as soon take a whirl at a
Democrat for the place. I do not ex-

in Rock Island with John p. Looney
did not disappear. as great many re-
publicans were inclined to believe il
would. with the LOwden and Yates
fight in the county. The most con

Fourth ward yesterday was Looney.
rs was his chief lieutenant in the
Fifth ward. and in beth the Looney in
fiuence triumphed. In the Fourth the
better element of the party had
agreed upon Henry J. Pardon as the
aldermanic candidate. but early YES
terday morning the city administra-
ton brought forward Tom jenkins
and placed his campaign in charge of
Looney. who worked hard at the polls
all afternoon and finally landed the
nomination for his man. Jenkins was
known to have been an adherent OF
the McConochie administration. un-

Der of the police force. and was held
in the position despite much occasion
for dismissal until his record became
50 Cdious it was necessary to relieve
him. In order. however. to recon-
Fense him for his loss of his place. the
suPposition is he is to be given an
berth. Hence, not only
jenkins, but the Lowden delegate
ticket was elected. In the Fifth the
Looney forces were equally conspicu-
Gus. Looney's chief lieutenant was in
charge. and the program cooked up by
that contingent went through.
