were willing to swear false oaths regard
ing Prince Ahmed KemaI Eddin's particpa-
ton in a reasonable conspiracy. When
Fehin Pasha had prepared all the necessary
evidence he requested audience with the
sultan on the ground that he had an i'm
portant communication to make This was
on the evening of April "a.
Abdul Hamid, scenting danger gave or
ders that the chief Of the palace police
should Immediately be admitted to his pres
ence The sultan's secretary, Izzett Pasha.
and another courtier were present during
the audience. Fehin Pasha entered and
told the sultan briefly that he had discov-
cred a plot to dethrone and assasstnate him,
and that this plot was to be carried out on
the following day. THE originator of the
plot" said Fehin Pasha to the sultan, is
your majesty's own brother, Prince Ahmed
Kemal Eddin." Fehin Pasha then produced
his documentary evidence" of the princes
guilt and summoned from an anteroom
the per1ured witnesses, every one of whom
confirmed the story of the princes connec-
ton with the conspiracy. =
The sultan's agitation knew no bounds.
He declared: my brother shall die on the
day on which he intended my assassination
should take place; instead of ascending the
Turkish throne he shall descend into his
own grave" The sultan thereupon gave
Fehin Pasha verbal orders to carry out the
execution of his brother, Prince Ahmed
Renal Eddin. swiftly and secretly on the
following day.

summoned the chief of the household and
informed him that he must at once secure
admittance to Prince Ahmed Renal Ed

demurred, but Fehfn Pasha overcame his
scruples by threats of punishment IL he

Prince Ahmed Kemal Eddin cried out and
attempted to reach a second door leading
from his chamber into that part of the pal
ace in which the members of his harem
resided. At Fehin Pasha's prompt order,

Fehin Pasha's enmity rose to a boiling
point, however, when Prince Ahmed Kemal
Eddin secured possession OF beautiful Cir
cassian woman. whom the chief Of the pal
ace police coveted for his own harem. The
Circassian slave was brought to Constanti-
nople and offered for sale at auction by one
of the dealers whose business it is to re-
plenish the harems of the Turkish capital
with desirable inmates. Prince Ahmed
Kemal Eddin and Fehin Pasha were both
bidders for NO A. as she was designated
at the sale, and the chief OF the palace po-
lice. who has not yet been in power SUI
ficiently long to enrich himself was unable
to compete with the wealthy prince OF the
imperial household; Prince Ahmed Kemal
Eddin secured the beautiful Circassian and
Fehin Pasha resolved there and then to
have revenge
Fehin Pasha's position as chief of the
palace police, combined with unusual con-
fidence which the sultan has in him, de-
livered Prince Ahmed Kemal Eddin into his
hands. The officer deliberately concocted
a story of a plot by Prince Ahmed Kenal
Eddin to dethrone the sultan and to gain
the crown of the Ottoman empire for him
self. Fehin Pasha caused letters to be
forged, which supplied In black and white
apparently indisputable proofs of the
princes guilt. He also procured perjured
witnesses who. in return for his brides.

Miss Gould has been with the firm

Monday this woman presented Miss
Gould with five 500 bills.
She said that now she was getting
older and would not be in so often.

OF Miss GOuld's kindness and her gen

Miss Gould Immediately placed the
$500 in the hands Of the firm, who
gave her a check for it

This good angel has been coming
in here for over twenty years. She
always came to me and always tried

a person for a long time you know
what they like and what will be apt

When she came in this morning
and gave me that money I was almost

LONGS DOCTRINE INDUSTRIOUS.

From Wichita Eagle
People who read the speech OF
Senator Long IN yesterdays Eagle, be
fore the Commercial club OF this city,
know where he stands on President
ROOseyelt's proposition 90 give the in
terstate commerce commission the
power TO stop discriminating freight
rates, and to put a reasonable rate in
their stead He has told his cOnstit-
uents that he Will make UP his mind
or any railroad bill when II is pre-
sented TO the senate for consideration
That Is the substance Of his speech.
Mr. Long, in reply to a question Of
Congressman Murdoch as to whether
abe courts could settle a rate question,
said: In my opinion it cannot be
done It is true that there is a diff
ference Of opinion But is it right for
a court to inquire into a mans pri-
vate business ?"
This seems to Indicate that Senator
Long has taken the position Of the
railroad managers that the matter Of
making rates is the private business
OF the railroads, and that the people
have nothing TO DO with it except to
pay the rates If that principle is to
be established the people Of this cOun-
try cannot too soon build their own
railroads
Will Senator Long and the railroad
managers claim that the government
il the country, national, state and mu-
nfcipaI shall condemn rfght-Of-way
through the private property Of the
citizens, give right-Of-way over pub
lie streets in cities because the rail-
road is a public highway OF commerce
established in the interests Of the pub
lie, yet that same public has no rights
that the corporation building the road
is bound to respect?
II is true that when the government
charters a corporation to build high
way Of commerce it delegates govern
ment functions to the corporation, just
as the government delegates a govern
ment function to a national bank
when il authorizes the bank to issue
money. There is nobody claiming that
the issuing Of money by national
banks is private business, but if the
banks were to make a claim to that
effect some Of the United States SEN
atOrs would probably defend the
banks in that position The banks
have as good a right to issue money
at their own sweet will as the rail-
roads have to give discriminating
freight rates
Mr.. Long is a lawyer, but if lay
man is allowed a say the Eagle ven
lures the opinion that both the rail-
road managers and Mr.. Long are
wrong. 1t is the blind leading the
blind, and both will fall in the mud
hole together The great lawyers in
the senate do not give the big rail-
road managers the law, but they take
their law from the railroad magnates
who they think can make United
States senator's

RACE OF MAIL TRAINS.
Rock Island and Santa Fe i'm a Con-
test TO shorten Time.

Rock Island and Santa Fe i'm q Con-
test to shorten Time.
The Santa Fe and Rock Island rail-
roads are engaged in a speed war
which began the first Of this week,
when the Santa Fe put the California
limited on as a daily train The new
time card which went into effect the
18th OF the month schedules the Santa
FEES California train for thirty min
utes shorter time between Kansa City
and Los Angeles than it has hereto
fore run on, and to meet this the Rock
Islands California train is being run
as a special at a fOrty-five minute re-
duction in time between the two
points until the Rock Island time card
goes into effect November 20, when
the new schedule will provide for the
fOrty-five minute reduction in speed
as a regular thing. Both roads viii
then have schedules calling for a re-
ductiOn in time and it will still re-
main to be seen if they can make the
faster rate Of speed practically as well
as on paper
The prize that the two roads are
contesting FOR is the mail contract be
tween Kansas City and Los Angeles,
which amounts TO about $25O,OOO per
year, and is nearly all clear money, as
the trains have to carry mail cars any
how to handle the local mails along
their respective lines, and the through
mail would only be an addition in
weight Of ten or twelve tons daily
without adding any great amount Of
work extra.
Until last spring both roads handled
the mail in about equal amounts but
the Rock Island got the best OF its
competitor during the summer by
keeping its California train on as a
daily, while the Santa Fe followed its
reular custom and ran semi-weekly
only. This gave the most Of the
through mail to the Rock Island, as
the government has an established
ustOm of giving this kind Of contracts
to the road that makes the best time.
The outcome Of the contest vii be a
test Of speed on the two roads during
the winter and will also probably re-
suit in the Santa Fe running its train
daily next summer. There is a new
contract to be awardede next spring
and the contestants will have the win
ter TO fight the matter out with the
spring contract to be looked forward
to as prize.

his needs and ideas. Every Monday
morning the horsemen gather for the

dwellers, rOugh-and-ready ranchmen,
careless CARRIED farmers. 1t is a typi-

You would scarcely know the horses.

a piece of fiypaper, SKI inches, with

remains until the animal leaves the

fastened to the braided tail; on it will
be the name and address Of seller and
