barrel OF flour 20 the mar bringing in
the greatest lot of women on one load.
The woman did not have to purchase

load. Charley Head. of Mason
county, won the prize. lie put a hay
rack on his sled hitchcd up four horses

brought in thirty-cight women, and
Radc Long could only find room for
sixteen. Great crowds were in the
store all day watching the slcds come
in and the management says the store

The successful scheme was announced
in a half page advertisement in the

Special Order for Wednesday.
When the reports of the majority and
the minority from the railroad com
mittee were read in the senate this
morning Senator Getty moved that 500
copies be printed of each report and
each bill, the Carver and the Smith
bills and the bills be made special
order for next Wednesday at 2 o'clock
The motion carried and the order was
made.
The minority report from the railroad
committee was as follows:
We, the minority members of your
committee on railroads, believe that
substitute for house bill No. 449 is just
and equitable measure to both the rail-
roads and shippers of Kansas, and that
the substitute recommended by the ma
iority of this committee does not afford
the relief asked for and expected of the
legislature by the people of this state.
We believe it's passage by the senate
will defeat any railroad measure becom-
ing a law at this session; therefore, we
recommend that substitute for house
bill No 449 as passed by the house
of representatives be passed by the SEN
ate to the end that the people of the
state may obtain speedy justice at our
hands. ,

PEACE MOVE.
Question of Ending the War
Formally Considered
By Emperor Nicholas and His
Ministers in Council.

st, Petersburg, Feb. 17.-6:40 p. m.
The Associated Press learns on ex-
ceptional authority that the question
of peace was formally considered by
Emperor Nicholas and his ministers
at the conference held at Tsarskoe-
Selo yesterday. No particulars are
obtainable, as before the discussion
began the emperor exacted from each
one present a solemn promise not to
divulge the slightest hint of what
transpired. The belief is however,
that the possible conditions and terms
were under consideration.
It is suggested in high quarters that
some intimation of terms has reached
the Russian government from Japan
although it is certain that it did not
come through the regular diplomatic
channels.

WORLDS MOST POWERFUL GUN.

Composition of the 16-inch Breech-

Describing the making of the most
powerful gun in the world, Day Allen
Wiley says, in THE Technical World
Magazine
Technically this great 'peacemak-
err is called 16-inch bIeech loading
rife. 1t is, perhaps, unnecessary to
say that the Is inches refers to the
diameter of the bore. OF the calibre
IN fact, this is so large that a man of
ordinary size can c-swl inside the
muzzle without difficulty. A better
idea Of the gun can be gained when it
is stated that the forgings for the
tube and jacket weigh no less than
1S4 tons. The tube itself is 491s feet
in length, and, as the gun is of the
builtup type favored by artillery OFF,
GERS of the present day, 1t is reinforc-
ed at the base by the jacket. which
was shrunk into position. The tube
is further strengthened by four sets
of hoops, which really make it of four
thicknesses of metal between the CEN
ire of the tube and the breech."

sHREwDNEss OF A .cAeMAN.
Was Left Fortune by an Eccentric
Old LadV


English exchanges tell of a young
cabman in Birmingham who attract
ed the notice of an eccentric old lady
because of his resemblance to her
dead son. She bequeathed to hiaa the
bulk Of her fortune on condition that
he went to college and did all he could
to become a gentleman Being quick
and clever, he had no difficulty In ac-
curing sufficiency of Greek and
other learning, but he shrewdIy sns-
pected that If he went to either Ok
ford or Cambridge at once he would
not feel at home among his new CON-
panions. So, putting pride in his
pocket, he obtained place as ''scout,'
or servant, at one of those seats OF
learning and profited so much by
what he saw and observed in this
humble position that when he eVentu-
ally proceeded to the other university
as student he was able to pass
creditably.
