AS the affair now stands, Burney
will practically spend the rest Of his
days in close confinement and Clay
will hang. 1t should also be remem-
berod that what evidence was given
in court during the Clay case showed
that, however much Burney may have
aided in the crime, he did not plan 1t,
nor general 1t through, for Clay alone

Burney Vas taken to the depot in a
carriage in charge of Sheriff Reals and
Deputy Sheriffs Knadler and Titus.
The first section of the train consisted
OF a number of cars filed with the
members of an opera company, and
Mr.. Reals was prevented from board
ing that. The negro was taken to the
telegraph Office and kept there until
the arrival of the second station, being
then hurried aboard and taken to Raw
Inns. There was little demonstration,
the fact hat the man had been taken
to the depot having been kept as secret
as possible.

crowd gathered around the mouth of

100 feet on account of the extreme

ALL FAVOR
THE PLANTS
PRESIDENT RAMSEY DECLARES
RAILROAD COMPANIES DESIRE
TO FOSTER MANUFACTURE.
Numerous Independent Plants
Than by Large Branch Plants in
Hands Of Some Trust-Concerned
In Building Up Communities.

"As a railroad manager, familiar
with nearly all the managers and ex'
ecutives of the country, l say, without
fear of contradiction, that the aim and
desire of them all Is to encourage and
aid in the establishment of industrial
plants and business concerns, large
and small, on their lines Of railways
This statement was made by Joseph
Ramsey, jr., president of the Wabash
railroad, in a paper read before the
Commercial club of st. Louis. Con.
tinuing, he said:
Their roads interests are better
served by numerous Independent
plants than by a large branch plant OF
some trust. which can be closed down
and all its traffic stopped, when the
trust feels that its own interests are
best served by so doing. A railroad
is at the mercy of such a concern
when the bulk of its traffic ONE from
it. A railroad is directly concerned
in the building up of its W territory
and communities, and must. when rates
are reduced by some line to help out
another section. meet such rates or
no only lose traffic temporarily, but see
its own territory and patrons suffer
loss in business, which may never be
%regained. That a railroad Is willing
to meet such competition, yer at a
loss to it, we need only to witness the
present extremely low rates to the
Gulf and Atlantic ports, under which
grain is being hauled east Of Chicago
at as low a rate as eight-tenths Of n
mill per ton mile, solely to protect
eastern ports against the competition
of Gulf ports and lines interested in
those ports.
The conditions Of the trade and
commerce of the country, the almost
absurdly low rate per ton mil9 at
which the traffic of the country is car
ried, the prosperous condition Of at
least SO per cent Of the business men
of this country, the great growth OF
our foreign trade, ETC.. must indicate
o any one not blinded by the siren
uous' pursuit of a hobby, that the rail
roads have not been and are not now
engaged in 'throttling and destroying
the trade and commerce of the oun
try and forcing the small manufacturer
out OF business as has been asserted"

to the whole state and to the Univer-

to understand that Wyoming was the
first consideration Of the citizens, and
that whatever was accomplished for
the good of the people in one section
would help those Of the other parts
of the state.
