Railroads Change Hands.

New York, Oct. 24.-Negotiations for
| the sale of a majority of the capital
stock of the New York, Ontario and
Western to the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad have been prac-
tically concluded according to the
| World, which says:
At a meeting Of the directors of the
former system. to be held in this city
November 9 they will be given an op-
portunity to accept the offer which has
been made through President MelIen, on
behalf of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford stockholders. Negotia-
| lions for the New York, Ontario and
/ Western have been conducted by Pres
ident Fowler and Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
who control 275,000 shares of the stock.
The minority stockholders, who have
been represented by committee head
ed by James B. Clews, of the Banking
House of Henry Clews & Co., are stated
to have assented to the proposal which
is a sale outright of the asserting stock
at As, or a guarantee of 21s per cent in
dividends.
When the minority committee began
it's campaign to abolish the voting trust
it became necessary for the manage
ment to call in the services of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. to. save the control. This
was done through the purchase of 275,-
900 shares, it is understood At the en-
suing meeting some weeks ago stock
holders were presented with plans for
terminating the voting trust which con-
trolled the property. These were pre-
OlcdLeQ OH the acceptance by the Stock
holders of a new financial scheme in
volving the f1otation of $10,000,000 in
bonds and the promise of a declaration
at the meeting November of 8 per
cent dividend.
1t is stated that control of the road
being assured it was then offered for
sale to several lines, including the Wa
bash, but the completion was keen and
| the bid submitted by the New Haven
is understood to have been more than
the others were willing to meet.

The parade was creditable to the
business men who took part in it. In
fact the programme was carried Our
successfully and creditably. If there
is a people in Kansas who deserve to

Lincoln and Lincoln county. Good
crops have blessed the farmers and the
business men report good trade. And
for this reason if none other her peo-
pie gave good attendance to the am

Lincoln is one of the Solidest built
towns in north central Kansas, and her

ty seats supporting three banks. Its
every enterprise is calculated for the
best good of the place.
There were baseball and basketball
matches, balloon ascensions, steam

Chicago Board of Trade Plans
Campaign of Persuasion.
transportation Department W ill
Try to Stop Discrimination.
e. ID. BOYD AT HEAD.
Claimed That Grain and FlOur
Rates Are High.
Gossip and Matters of Interest i'm
Railroad Circles.

Strong efforts win be made by E. b.
Boyd, the new manager of the transpor-
tation department of the Chicago board
of trade, to stop the discrimination of
the railroads against Chicago. To Sc
cure the necessary ammunition for
prosecuting the work the special COM
nittee yesterday issued the following
circular to members of the board:
1.-THE transportation committee re-
quests that the members of the board
at their earliest convenience send to the
manager of the transportation depart
ment. E. B. Boyd, IA Board of Trade
building, a complete and concise state
Inent of such features of the present
rate adjustment and the rules in con-
nection herewith, applying by way OF
Chicago on products handled on the
board, as in their opinion operate to re-
strict the movement of such products
to or from Chicago, or are otherwise
detrimental
THE committee earnestly invites sug-
gestions to reasonable changes in
rate adjustments, calculated to promote
the full and free development of our
commercial interests"
Mr. Boyd has been general freight
agent of the Rock Island and in this
position has become thoroughly con-
versant with the methods of the rail-
roads in establishing tariffs detrimental
to the shipping interests of Chicago. 1t
is not his intention to make war on the
roads. but he hopes to secure the de-
sired end by convincing them that by
refusing to treat local shippers fairly
they injure their own interests
The principal complaint is that the
Minneapolis shippers are granted espe-
cial privileges. At present grain and
flour can be shipped from the Twin
cities to New England points at a 221a
cent rate.
Grain to be rehandled or cleaned at
Chicago has to pay the local rate from
Minneapolis to Chicago and then to
the east, which makes the through fig
ures much higher than from the Twin
cities direct to the east.

WANT A BRANCH ROAD.
Kansas Southern Asked to Build a
FredOnia- Galesburg Line.

lola. Kas. Oct 24.-The Kansas
Southern Electric railway has received
a proposition looking forward 10 inns
company to build branch line from
GaIesburg to F'redonia. H B. Hard
ing, representing the stockholders OF
the Kansas railroad company, OF that
city, hat been in lola to submit the
PROPOSITION to President F. V. Crouch,
of the Kansas Southern. Years ago
the company represented oy MI
Harding, started building line con-
and Fredonia. but succeeded in only
completing the grade before II went
into bankruptcy
The line covers a distance of %
miles and runs through a territory
that is not touched by any competing
lines AS the road has already been
graded, it would be necessary only TO
lay the track without the usual pre-
liminary work.
II do not WISH said Mr.. Crouch,
'to make any statements in regard to
the project at this time While the
proposition looks good, it will of
course, be necessary to carefully 1nVes-
tigate it before reaching any conclu-
sions. / have promised Mr.. Harding
that 1 will look into the matter at
once and give him an answer as soon
as possible. All the towns the line
would penetrate are good business
points and as they have no competing
lines between them ought to give a
great deal of business to such an cleo
trio line"
ottawa. Kas.. Oct. 24.-The Kansas
Southern Electric Railway company
of lola has opened negotiations with
this place with a view to securing a
franchise for an electric line from
Kansas City to the oil fields. A letter
from the president, Frank V. Crouch,
today says that surveyors will be put
to work within a few days. This
town has granted a franchise to Hugh
Holmes. of Kansas City. who agrees to
have line from Kansas City in opera
ton within eighteen months. The
Holmes company has most of its right
of MaV secured.

KANSAS CITY WENT DOWN.
Central High School Team Easily
Defeated by Topeka.

Topeka High schools pride and joy
lifted another Kansas City scalp Satur-
day afternoon with the greatest ease.
The victims were Pete Aliens pro-
teges, representing the Central High
school of the Missouri town, and the
score was 81 to in two halves of IS
and 10 minutes. The game was the
curtain raiser for the Washburn-Doane
struggle, and was a little late in start
ing
Allen claimed that his team was in
bad shape for the game. Olin, Morley
and J. Lewis were out with injuries,
and two other first team men were
driven to the side lines by the pum-
melting they received from the Topeka
boys. Allen is the we'll known ex-K.
u. man, and he says that when Topeka
comes down there little later in the
season for the return game, he will
have his team in shape, and will beat
the life out of Topeka.
Owing to the fact that Kansas City
was obliged to continually play for
time because of injuries, the game
dragged and it took an hour to play
the first half of % minutes. AS it was
necessary to stop the game atS3:45 be-
cause of the Doane game, the second
half was cut to 10 minutes. Topeka
made four touchdowns in the first half
and one in the second.
Topeka played fast football, and it
would be hard to mention one or two
without including on equal terms pref
ty nearly all the rest. Probably Dol
man. Hinckly, Caine and Larimer
carried the ball more than the others,
but they had every man on the team
doing business all the time.
The intention was to play 25 and
20 minute halves, but owing to the col
Iege game scheduled for 3:45, the sec
ond half of the High school contest
had to be cut to 10 minutes. 1t was
perfectly satisfactory to Kansas City
to have it cut as the thing turned out.
John Harrison and H. w. Page were
the officials. The following was the
lineup:
Central-Calvin, right end; B.
Lewis, right tackle; Beck, Myers right
guard; Quayle, center; Murphy, An
derson, left guard; McKibben, left
tackle; Smith, left end; Mehorny,
quarter back; Cotton, right half; Pike,
left half: Chambers. full back.
Representatives,, right end; Reid,
right tackle; Clugston, Sheldon, right
guard: Jennings, center; Howe, left
guard; Game, left tackle; Lommasson,
left end; Hope, Rowley. quarter back;
Dolman, Hope, right half; Hinckley,
left half; FogwelI, full back.
First Half-Central won the toss and
got the north goal and the strong north
wind. Topeka kicked off to Chambers on
the 15-yard line. Two line bucks gained
only yards, and Central attempted to
punt. The ball went into the line and To-

CALIFORNIA is PROSPEROUS
General Passenger Agent Byrnes of
Santa Fe Tells of Prospects

Chicago, Oct. 24.-General Passen-
ger Agent John J. Byrnes of the San
ia Fe lines west of Albuquerque ar
rived here yesterday from California.
From all indications there will be
more tourists to California the COM
ing winter than in any former sea-
son. he said. 1.-THE reservations at
all the hotels in California are in
excess of those at this time last year,
and the hotels built this year are as
Sured of patronage.
General business conditions in Cal
ifornfa are excellent. 1t is estimated
that the next orange and lemon crop
will be about 10000 car loads. A
car load contains about 800 crates, and
the net returns to the grower will ex-
coed 81 per crate.''

MILLIONS GO TO SCALPERS.
Their Annual Rakeoff From Railroads
Is Estimated at $1O,OOO,OOo

The aggregate annual losses of the
railways of the United States through
operations of ticket scaiper5 is esti-
mated at $10,0oG,0G0 by the railway
protective bureau. It is stated that in
Chicago alone, during 1908. the scalp
ers took from the railroads revenue
amounting to more than 100000.
The common impression that the eff
forts of the protective bureau and of a
detective agency had greatly diminish
ed ticket scalping apparently is erron-
eous. That scalping is on the decrease
is denied, but it is stated that by spend
ing liberal appropriations annually the
railroads have been able during the
last five years to prevent the growth of
scalping.

Attention, Farmers.

Why remain in the north and stay
indoors six months in the year con-
Stunning what you raise during the
other six months?
Go south where you can work out
doors every month in the year, and
where you are producing something
the year round. If you are a stock
raiser you know your stock are now
"eating their heads off, and, besides
have to be protected from the rigors
of winter by expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding requires
the combination of both flesh forming
and fat forming foods in certain pro-
portions. Alabama and Florida pro-
duce in abundance the velvet bean
and cassava. the first a flesh producer
and the latter a fat producer, and
they are the cheapest and best fatten-
ing materials known to the world.
More money can be made and with
less labor. in general farming, fruit
and berry growing and truck garden
ing along our road in the south than
il any other section of the union.
