APPLES ALL RIGHT.
Secretary Barnes of State .Horticul-
turaI Society Says So.

Reports from fruit growers to W. H.
Barnes, secretary of the State Horticul-
tural society, indicate that the peach
crop win be minus quantity to a great
extent in Kansas this year, and some
other fruits have been injured by cold
weather, but apples promise well, and
there viii probably be plenty of cher
ries, plums and some minor fruits.
The extreme cold weather of the win
ter killed some varieties of peaches en-
tire1y, and the late frosts have wrought
havoc with some other fruits. Two
years ago there was a killing frost dur
ing the last week of April, and a heavy
snOwstorm in the western part of the
state. That was just before President
Roosevelt came through Kansas.
There may be some peaches in the
southern part of the state, and there
viii be some raspberries and blackber-
ries, but not near as many as there
would have been had it not been for
frosts and cold weather. Apples, cher
ries and plums seem to be all right.

LOCAL MENTION.

A Kansas City paper says: The Rt.
Rev. Frank r. 11illspaugh, Episcopal
bishop of Kansas, confirmed large
class at st. Peters Episcopal church in
Kansas City, Kan. last evening. There
were special Palm Sunday services at
botn the Episcopal churches in Kansas

A dispatch under a Topeka date line
to q Kansas City paper says: James
Skaggs came to Kansas in 1857 and set
tied upon a farm on what is now the
Douglas Franklin county line. He and
his wife have lived on that farm for As
years. They have decided to retire from
the AGRICULTURAL business and have sold
out. Few people in Kansas ever lived
on one farm that long.
On Friday afternoon one Of the drays
belonging to the Topeka Transfer COM
pany ran into a farm wagon on Monroe

M. K. st. WON'T DO 1T
Refuse to Stop Trains at Towns in
NeOsho County.

The Missouri Kansas & Texas Rail-
road company does not intend to obey
the special law passed by the recent
legislature to compel all trains running
through Neosho county to stop at all
towns in that county having a popula-
ton OF 1000 or more, and the company
doesn't hesitate to say so. It claims
that the law is unconstitutional.
The law went into effect some time
ago. but the Katy has continued to
run its fast trains, Nos 3 and through
the town of St. Paul without doing any
thing more than whistling- A complaint
was sent to the railroad commissioners
asking them to enforce the law, and
the railroad board asked the katy
company how about it.
A reply has been received from 7. N.
SedgWick. general attorney for the road,
saying that the company has no inten-
ton of obeying the law so far as Nos.
and 6 are concerned. for the reason
that the law is a special act and there
fore unconstitutional, in that it applies
only to Neosho county, and that these
through trains run between St Louis
and Galveston and carry interstate bus
mess almost exclusively, and therefore
cannot be controlled by state laws.
The first defense may be a good one,
but the latter sounds extremely pecu-
liar. IF through trains are not amen
able to state laws in one instance they
are not IN another. and it sounds rather
strange to hear a railroad company con-
tend that it can run through trains
through state without paying atten-
ton to state laws.

JEWETT FILES ANSWER.
Gives His Reasons Why Refinery Law
Isn't Good.

Mulvane & Gault, as attorneys for
Warden E. B. Jewett, today filed
Warden Jewett's answer in the oil re-
dnery case-the mandamus suit
brought by Attorney General Cole
man to compel Treasurer Kelly and
Warden Jewett to issue the oil re-
fnery bonds.
The answer sets forth that the oil
refinery law is unconstitutional for a
number of reasons, as follows:
That it does not directly appropriate
the taxes which are provided for.
That it creates a public debt that is
not a public improvement or an ex-
pense of government
That it makes the state a party to
a work of internal improvement.
That it does not limit the life of the
appropriation.
That it is against the fourteenth
amendment to the federal constitution
in that it interferes with private
business.
That it deprives citizens of the right
to engage in private industry by en-
abling the state to monopolize that
industry.
That the branch penitentiary is only
a subterfuge, and that the real OBJ
ject of the law is to build the oil re-
fnery.
Mulvane & Gault appear only as the
attorneys of Warden Jewett. GIeed,
Ware & GIeed are still the attorney
of record for Treasurer Kelly.

USED A RATTLESNAKE.
Rev. Charles NJ. sheldon's Vivid Illus
tration to Children.

Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon used a full
grown rattlesnake with eight rattles to
illustrate a sermon on "Sin" which
he preached to the children of his
congregation Sunday. The rattle
snake, to be sure, was shut up in
jar of alcohol
Here is a rattIesnake," said Mr..
Sheldon, holding up the monster to
the gaze of the astonished children.
How would you like to have this
rattlesnake for your friend? Yet
there are people in this world who
make friends with sin, and sin is a
good deal worse than any rattlesnake
that ever lived"
Mr.. Sheldon also had a number Of
different kinds of poison, which he
and showed them to the children to
illustrate different KINDS or deadly sin.

Mr.. SCOTT IS HERE.
He win start for the Philippines on
July s.

Charles F. Scott, congressman-at-
large, is here today to see Governor
Hoch. He expects to leave early in
July for the Philippines, as he is one
of the twenty member sof the lower
house of congress designated for the
congressional trip.
According to present arrangements
the party will sail from San Fran
cisco on July g. said Mr.. Scott to-
dav at will be gone about three
months. The general idea is to spend
about thirty days in the islands, and
it takes about a month on the water
each way.
81 understand an invitation has
been sent from Australia for the party
to visit that country before returning
home, as the guests of the Australian
government. but I do not see how that
viii be possible, for President Roose-
Welt has called a special session of con-
gress for the middle of October. and
we will have to be back in Washing
ton by that time"
Mr. Scott believes that the senate
will perform on the subject Of rail-
road legislation when that subject
is generally understood that President
Roosevelt has called the special ses-
sion to consider tn railroad rate ques-
ton.
public sentiment is so strong that
I think the senate will agree to some
sort of a railroad rate BILL said Mr..
Scott. Public. sentiment is strong
leverage on public men. It will ac-
complish almost anything, and there
is terrific sentiment in favor of rail-
road legislation in congress.
President Roosevelt, more than
any president we have had in late
years anyway. demands of congress
what the people want. The people
have confidence in him, and they
therefore make their wants known
more than they ever did before. I
think that is the secret of the express
sion of public opinion in favor of rail-
road rate legislation. The president
asked it of congress and the people
came forward and made the demand
emphatic, and I do not believe that
the senate will feel IKE turning it
down altogether.
g remember some time ago I had
a talk with Congressman Hepburn on
the subject of railroad legislation, and
I asked him If he did not think the
interstate commerce commission
ought to be given power to fix rates.
I knew his committee had been in
vestigating along that line. He was
very much opposed to anything of the
sort. He said it would be an outrage
to give any body of men absolute
power to make transportation rates,
but notice that he has changed to a
certain extent now

In q report issued by the census

so establishments, it is shown that
since 1880 the number of rice mills in
the United States increased 264 Der
cent, capital S63 per cent, and value Of
products 17S per cent This report
noted that the increase in Louisiana
and Texas was very marked, their
production having advanced from Is
753, S56 pounds in 1890 to 1898. 1908
pounds i'm 1900. The statistics fndi-
Gated that the industry is being trans
ferred from the South Atlantic states
TO Texas and Louisiana, and later re-
liable statistics have pointed out n
continued change in this respect. The
effect Of successful irrigation on the
prairie lands was a rise in value of
such lands. In 1888 these lands. could
be obtained at from 81 to S350 ner
acre. according to their facility for
cultivation. Some of these same
lands are now held at an average Drfce
Of $50 and few choice locations
bring as much as $50 per acre Be
