eight. Then it was that he "bolted
right into" a throng of upward OF
half a hundred of his friends-his
cozv home from dining room to par
lor a perfect blaze of light and floral
decorations. Mrs. Dcnham had
skillfuliy arranged all tie details in
his absence, and. when he opened
the door. Mr.. Stuart Reed, on be-
half of the family and the assembled
guests halted him Mt the Threshold
and in a short address welcomed
him to Ills own home on his
thirtieth birthday.
After he had received the con-
Gra~tItlations of his friends MT. >.
r. Bentley stepped forward and an
nounccd that he had been delegated
by Mr.. Denham's official associates
to present a token of their esteem
which he did in Il most appropriate
little sneech. The present was a
beautiful silk umbrella with hand
somelv- mounted handle. To these
speeches Mr.. Denham responded.

THREATEN ANOTHER SUIT
Independent Salt Manufacturers of
Kansas Not Satisfied With
Present Freight Rates.
TRUST IS AGAIN GETTING REBATES
T"ik of bringing New Case Before
Interstate Commerce Commission
IN Order To Break Salt Combine
hint at New and Interesting De-
Nelopments when Case Comes up.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 2G.-The indie
peuueht sat manufacturers OF Kansas
VIII bring another suit before tn,
railroad commissioners unless they re.
ceive the rates which they think they
should get at the hands of the railroad
commissioners in the suit which is
now pending. The case may be
brought before the interstate commerc,
commission because many of the in
dependent manufacturers think they
will in this manner be able TO break
the salt trust" which is said to exist
in this state.
1t is said that here have been re-
cent developments in regard to COM
blnations regarding freight rates which
VIII be interesting when the matter
is made public. The independent
salt men are OF the opinion that the
trust mon are given advantages
which the independent dealers do not
enjoy How true this is can only be
made evident by a close examination,
and there is an impression that this
can be shown. The independent deal
ers think that this can be developed
by case being brought before the in
terstate commerce commission. 1t is
limited that some of the companies have
been receiving rebates from the rail-
roads. The last hearing before the
interstate commerce commission de-
veloped some interesting things re-
garding rebates and it may be that
more sensational news will be made
public.
The salt men are in better shape to
make fight against the railroads for
reduced rates than were the grain men.
There are no millers to file interpleas
and say that their business would be
ruined by the taking away of the mill
ing intransit rates.
Carr w. Taylor, attorney for the
railroad commissioners, who has been
leading the fight for the reduction Of
rates on the railroads in Kansas has
been talking the matter over with the
Independent salt manufacturers and he
said that the independent men were
complaining about what they thought
to be unfair discrimination. He said
that he did not exactly know what
the complaint was about as he had not
been informed as to the discrimination.
Recently the salt business is going
back to the trust and the independent
dealers are quick In ascribing their loss
Of business to rebates. They have no
evidence Of such being the case, but
The fact that they have lost the busi-
ness on account of the trust making
\ lower price makes it seem to them
that there is colored man in the wood
pile.
No matter what the independent men
.hink they probably will insist on an
Investigation.

London, Dec. 2G.-The correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph at st. Peters
burg in a dispatch dated at 6:45 p. m.
December %, says:
"At an early hour this morning the
casualties at Moscow were estimated
at 5000 killed and 14,000 wounded, with
the fighting still proceeding.
"The inhabitants of Moscow have
been forbidden to leave their dwell
ings after seven O'Clock in the evening
1T is impossible to move about the
city in consequence of the frequen-
cy of stray bullets. Many innocent
persons have been accidentally killed.
"A scarcity of provisions is threat
ened."
THE driving force behind both the
troops and the rebels is no longer that
of enthusiasm or of any human i'm
pulses. 1t is the force of superhuman
hate, and hence the deeds reported are
not the acts of patriots, soldiers or
otherwise, but the enormities of mad
men.
1T is impossible to understand how
any emotion even of the extremes of
despair or hate, can impart such fool
hardy courage as some of the rebels
display.
For every barrtcade destroyed Sun
day two or three appeared in other
places. Orders were given by the rev.
olutionaries to shoot only when there
was good hope of bringing a man
down, but otherwise to tire out the
troops uptil they lost patience.
"In the meantime in their houses
the bulk Of the population covers in
the inmost recesses of kitchens and
cellars. stricken with fear apd trem-
bling at every boom of the cannon or
the explosion of a bomb.
"The most surprising thing of all is
the loyalty of the troops, which no.
body here anticipated.

Secretary. Chairman
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE MEETING
Bates County Democratic Contra
Committee will meet in Butler ol
Saturday to consider plans for plac
ing ticket In the field next year
This Is an unprecedented early cal
for this county, but Chairman Comb
informs us that the reasons which
impslled his action in the matter wal
desire to give the candidates who
have not the extensive personal ac
auaintance o' some,a n month Ormore
additional time in which 10 make
the canvas OF the county, as he is
very much opposed TO SNAP" con.
vsnsion or primary, and his iudg.
ment is that every Democrat who
desires to compete for nomination,
should he given iull time In which to
make canvas OF she county.
THv TIMES / as the same interest
In this meeting OF the committee as
ever Democrat who earnestly desires
party harmony to the end that party
supremacy may be maintained in
Bates county. That Democrat who
is not candidate and is aetuated
solely for the party good, is the best
counselor on occasions OF this kind,
as the prospective candidate, no
matter how pure his motives, must
be biased more or less by individual
interests.
The worst weather We have is usual
ly in January and February when it
is practically impossible for a man
OF the most robust constitution to
get around over the county to see
the people Bates is big county
With large population and under
the most favorable conditions It
would take an active man from three
to four months to make a close can
vas, and a mid.wintar canvas is prac.
ticably impossible and out OF all
reason. Such course would give
the townships in which larger towns
are located a big and maniiestly un.
fair advantage over the country
townships.
After q ticket is placed in the aeld
Interest therein should be kept up
until the election, and we all know
how hard that is to do when the
nominations are made too far ahead.
The committeeman are acting In q
representative capacity and should
look to the good Of the party alone
and under no circumstances consider
the interests OF individual candi-
dssss. II after . full discussion and
fair consideration q majority Of the
committeeman decided that the in.
tsrssts Of the party are best subserv.
cd BY q primary, then that is the
viii Of the party and every good
Democrat will acquiesce therein.
Republicans, flushed with partial
In county and state, will
make o herculean offort to win this
coming election. There should be
no mistake made In the Democratic
organization. II We start right It
will be an easy matter to continue so
and will help US in the end. There
should be no friction in the commit.
tss ct its meeting Saturday, but
svsry member should be imbued with
\ dSssrAjnation to act for the. party
rood alone, setting aside personal
md iaetional considerations, II there
be any. n such q spirit prevails We
ara satisfied that we will be prepared
10 10 into the fight in q well organ
"a. harmonious and compact
Nody that will insure the old time
msiorities In Bates coun.
