WHEN M'NEAL SCORED.
How He Brought the octopus to
Time.

T. Andrew NcNeal, secretary to
Governor Hoch, state printer-to-be.
journalist, humorist. and various
things. has now become a trailer of
the octopus. and with good success.
That is if you look at it one way.
If you look at 1t another way, he has
become an imitator of Standard Oil
and is compelling the railroad COM
panies to dig up rebates to him. 1t
came about this way:
A man named HOffmeister, who is
experimenting with crude oil burner,
bought two barrels CT oil from a com
pany in which Mr.. McNeal and other
statesmen are interested at Humboldt
The understanding was that the COM
Bany was to pay the freight in ad-
vance. but through some error this
was not done, and Hoffmeister had to
pay it at this end of the route. The
business was transacted through Mr.
McNeal, so he told Hoffme ister to pay
the freight and he would pay him.
When Hoffmeister brought to the
governors secretary a bill for $2.S0
for freight on two barrels of oil from
Humboldt to Topeka, the three hairs
that form a crown for the secretary
stood up. He said it was an outrage.
He started a trailer to run down the
new maximum freight law, and after
doing some of the figuring for which
he is noted he discovered that the
legal rate on oil from Humboldt to To-
peka is ~ cents a hundred, and
therefore on two barrels of oil weigh
ing 400 pounds each the freight would
amount to 60 cents.
Here is where he started after his
rebate. Now the next state printer
and w. G. Carney, the Santa FEES
freight agent in Topeka, are personal
friends Through the medium of the
telephone Mr.. McNeaI formed a hasty
connection with Mr.. Garvey's ear.
What in samhill do you mean by
- -
demanded in an irate tone of voice.
Mr. Carney, doubtless recognizing
the melodious voice of his friend, in
quired; Are you Monnett or the
Standard Oil company %
Neither one said the voice at the
other end of the line; Il am T. A.
A1cNeaI. E. S @"
"Oh. it's that bald-headed old idiot,
with the proper amendments to
your remark. I'll reply in the affirma-
tive" came from the governors
Office. Now what does your souIIess

Garvey.

the next state printer According to
law-our new law-the charge ought

well. I feel like I'd been robbed.
and I want a rebate"
You wouldn't take the bread right
out of our mouths like that would
you2" asked the representative of the
railroad company.
Il don't object to paying three or
four times more than ought to-" said
Mr.. McNeal, t'but when it comes to
being robbed six times over. I insist
on exercising my rignC as a free
American citizen to kick"
Later Mr.. Garvey appeared at the
governors Office and paid over S2.2O
to the bald-headed man who sits be-
hind the desk in the governors main
Office. He called on the spectators to
witness that a public official was re-
ceiving a rebate

QUESTION or JURISDICTION.
Man in Kansas Shot a Man in Missouri
and Police Wrangled.

Kansas City. Mo, March 16-J. H
Boiler, one-armed switchman who
has been employed in the Missouri
Pacific railroad yards in Kansas City,
Kan. was shot through the side below
the left arm yesterday evening at the
state line on Central avenue. The
wound is not serious and he will re-
cover. p. r. Pattison, the keeper Of
a restaurant at North First street in
Kansas City, Kan, did the shooting.
Pattison told the police after his
arrest that Boiler had entered his
place and ordered three sandwiches
He was given the sandwiches, where
upon he left the building and started
to run down the street. Pattison got
his revolver, and when Boiler had
crossed the state line, Pattison fired at
him. Boiler fell with a bullet in his
side.
The police at both No. station in
Kansas City, Kan, and No. 2 station
IN Kansas City, Mo-, were notified.
When the officers arrived an argument
ensued as to who should arrest Patti
SON. Pattison said that he was on the
Kansas side of the line when he shot
Boiler. and the Kansas police con-
tended that he was their prisoner. The
Missouri police cOntended that since
Boiler was shot on the Missouri side
the man who did the shooting should
be delivered up to them. The matter
was compromised by the Missouri po-
lice taking the injured man away in
the ambulance and the Kansas police
tkaing the man who did the shooting
Pattison was confined at No. ? po-
lice station in Kansas City, Kan.,. last
night Boiler was taken to police
headquarters. Kansas City, Mo, where
his wound was dressed, after which he
was taken to the city hospital

FORGED CERTIFICATES.
Somebody Counterfeited Colorado
Fuel & Iron Stocks.

Denver, March 16.-Forged stock
certificates of the Colorado Fuel &
Iron company have been unearth ed
by the presentation of a counterfeit
certificate for 100 shares of stock, par
value $4,000, at the Denver office of
the company for transfer The certsfi-
cate came from a lawyer at Daven-
port, Ia. Appearing on the certificate
as president of the company is the
name of James A. Kebler. Mr. Kebler
was never president of the company.
There is also on the certificate the
forged signature of Secretary p. c.
Beaman. The counterfeit certificate
has no likeness to the genuine certif-
Gates of the company. 1t IS evident
from the sink Offset marks near the
company's name on the counterfeit
that other counterfeits were made at
the same time and strict watch has
been ordered in order, if possible. to
locate the counterfeits and the makers.
