Kansas City. Mo-, Sept. At has
been decided by the Kansas City Board
of Trade to refuse to recognize the
weighmasters sent here by the Mis-

sioners. If the state board insists on
them, a suit will be instituted in the
United States court to force the with
drawaI of the weighmasters on the
ground that they interfere with inter-
state commerce.
The placing of state weighmasters in
all warehouses and elevators on the
Missouri side of the river is bitterly
resented by the directors and mem
bers of the Kansas City board of trade.
Heretofore there have been three state
weighmasters in the three warehouses
here which are bonded to the state,
and to this the board has never raised
objection. Recently the commission
ers decided to appoint weighmasters
for all elevators and warehouses. both

City as the place wherein to make the
first trial. The presumption is that
if they make good here the system Will
be extended all over the state.

SAME OLD PRICE FOR RAILS.
Santa Fe Has in an Order for $4,000
Tons

Judge Gary, chairman of the board
of directors of the United States Steel
corporation, has announced that his
company has decided to maintain the
price of steel rails to it's customers for
1906 at 1923 per ton. Practically all the
independent steel institutions have also
announced a reaffimation of the s28 rate
for rails for 1906.
The price is believed to be accom-
panied by guarantee which provides
for rebates in the event of the rate go
ing below the scheduled prices. 1t is un-
derstood that this action was taken at
meetings held here and at Pittsburg
and Cleveland.
The participants in the new schedule
are understood to include the Lacka-
wanna Steel company, the Pennsylvania
Steel company, the Cambria Steel COM
pany. the Tennessee Coal and Iron COM
pany, the Republic Iron and Steel COM
pany and the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company.
Among the big orders in for rails is
one from the Santa Fe for $4,000 tons.
The cost of these rails will be in the
neighborhood of million and a half of
dollars.

POWER OF THE RESURRECTION
We can never make too much of the
resurrection, the fact and doctrine. A
man has accomplished much when he
has placed the fact among the settled
convictions; he has made further ad-
vance when he has become able to use
the fact as a working force in his life.
To make sure this fact is to make us
possessors of all the glorious facts OF
the gospel. The truths of Christianity
form a golden chain, and the resurrec-
chain. The resurrection of Christ makes
our Christianity a religion of power. It
is this that the world had long stood
in need of. 1t had teaching. It knew
what to do, but The power to do wae
lacking. The power of Christianity is
that it is felt. When realities are felt
to be realities they become powerful In
life. Power comes with feeling. Truth
becomes effective by being felt to be
truth. Not until some one feels that
something is true does that something
go out with effective power. Unfelt
knowledge is unfruitful. Unfelt truth
| is unused. When the truth that Jesus
| impaired to his friends came to he felt,
truth and influential in the realms of
the affections. then it came to have
power. and only then.-Rev. G. R. Cur
ry, Baptist, Omaha, Neb.

RAID CoFFEYvILLE JOINTS.
Real Object Is to Catch the Brewers
That Back Them.

County Attorney Wagstaff took sum-
mary action Friday against the Cof-
feyville 'jointists" and all persons
who have taken part in their efforts
to evade the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law. He sent Under Sheriff
Paxson to Coffeyville with writs of
attachment for the following persons
to answer to a charge of indirect con-
tempt of court: J. T.. Whitaker,
coroner; J. Vennum, clerk of the Cof-
feyville court; H. C. Dooley and G. H.
Keith, attorneys; the Pabst Brewing
company, George Schroeder, agent of
the Pabsts at Kansas City; Robert
Olinger and Otis B. Hill, proprietors
of a '.joint" in Coffeyville, and W. A.
Cox.
This action grows out of previous
raids on the Coffeyville Joints" when
in every case the brewing companies
have gone into court at Coffeyville
and replevined the fixtures. The case
these persons were arrested on is
one of fourteen of the same nature,
and is intended as test. Mr.. Wag-
staff recently secured an opinion
from the attorney general of the state
that the brewing companies had no
standing in the state. Mr.. Wagstaff
is proceeding on that fact. He also
holds that any person interfering with
the enforcement of the search and
seizure law is in direct contempt of
court.
These replevin proceedings have
defeated the object of the raids on
the "joints" every time. AS soon as
the sheriff would seize the fixtures
the brewery would replevin them and,
according to the Coffeyville newspa-
pers, fifteen minutes after the officers
left the "joints'' would be running
wide open using the same fixtures. If
the county attorney can take the fix
lures every time he makes raid he
can make the business of running
Joints SO expensive that even the
breweries will have to quit.
All the defendants except two who
were not in town were arraigned be-
fore Judge Flannery in chambers.
They were given until September IL
to file answer, and the cases are set
for hearing September Is. The de-
PENDANTS were released on their own
recogniZance.

MAILS QUICKLY HANDLED.
New Device Given Satisfactory Tests
on Rock Island.

Chicago, Sept. 2.-John Sebastian,
passenger traffic manager of the Rock
Island, has made the announcement that
a satisfactory device for discharging
mails from high speed trains. for which
postoffice officials have been searching
for more than seven years, has at last
been discovered, and following repeated
tests is now in daily use on one of the
Rock Islands fast mail trains in Iowa.
The instrument which is known as the
Burr mail catching and delivering de-
vice consists of platform arranged in
the car door, on which the sacks of
mail to be delivered are placed. Con-
tact between the crane on the station
platform and a trigger on the mail
catching arm on the car puts the me-
chanism in operation, which elects the
mail sacks into a receiving box placed
al the side of the track. so constructed
that the air is forced into either end
by the momentum of the pouch. and

WIRELESS SYSTEM ON ALTON.
Effective Protection to Trains From
All Possible Collisions.


All Possible Collisions.
So successful have been the expert
ments the Chicago & Alton have been
conducting with wireless teIegraphy
that all of the passenger trains on the
road are to be equipped with the sys-
tenn. Under the system adopted each
engine carrying its own wireless sig
nal apparatus, constitutes the center
of movable block, travelling with the
train, stopping when the train stops
and affording effective protection for
a radius of, say, two miles front and
rear The radius of this danger zone
may be greater or less, according to
the requirements of any particular
railroad, but once determined upon, it
must be invariable, for all trains on
that road.
Under the eye of the engineer in the
cab is an indicator which keeps him
informed every moment of the condi-
tions within the block of which he is
the constant center. If train ap-
proaches within two miles to the rear,
a green light shows on the indicator
and a warning bell calls his attention
If the intruding train is within two
miles to the front, a red light flashes
and the bell rings. Variations in the
stroke of the bell and the flashes of
light tell whether the other train is
moving in the same or opposite di-
rection to that on which the signals
are received.

NATURE AND GOD.
There is nothing which so depresses
vastness of nature. Our different i'm

different views of God. We come to ma
ture to find God.-Rev. Earl HewSon,

LIES ESSENTIALS.
If you have charity, love and benev-
olence toward your fellow man, you
possess all there is essential to eternal
life. Love supplies the place of all
other virtues, or, rather, embraces
them all. Love, therefore, is the short
est, safest and surest route to heaven.
Cardinal Gibbons. Roman Catholic,
Baltimore.
THE CHURCH'S DUTY.
It is the church's duty to go frankly
to the officials of the state who are
neglecting to enforce the laws of the
state and ask them to enforce them,
also to present such laws to, legisla-
lures as viii in their opinion remedy
existing evils. Such definite action will
illustrate and vitalize the work of the
pulpit.-Rev. w. r. Chase. Episcopa-

NEED OF CHRIST'S LEADERSHIP.
The world needs today the dynamic
power of the leadership of Jesus to
give full life to the philanthropy of our
age. There is a splendid impulse OF
philanthropy in our country today, but
it is born from eight or ten generations
of Christian men and women in this
New England or ouors. We cannot af-
ford to shut up the power house, to
stop the dynamo, to rely upon the
transmission wires alone. If we do
the power of our philanthropic and So
cial movement will cease. and the
world will degenerate and go back
ward toward the days of barbarism.-

Mcpherson, Kan, Sept. 2.-The
basin west of Mcpherson has gone dry
for the first time in many years. The
exceptionally long dry spell and the
hot weather of the past week or two
have completely absorbed all the wa

land around the basin are pIowing up
the land, preparatory to putting it into
fall wheat. Several of them have built
large dikes on the boundary of their
land, so that should the basin fill up
in the next season they expect this to
keep the water cut and enable them
to harvest the crop. The entire coun-
try has not been as dry as at the pres
