StOCkmen Are Complaining.

What about the bill passed last win.
ter compelling railroads to & ant trans
portation to shippers of stock? The bill
provided for the transportation to the
market and return to the point of ship.
ment for one man for each car of ste 4
shipped. For every additional three
cars shipped, transportation was grant
ed tor an additional man to accompany
the stock.
Stockmen in this county complain
that the roads are not obeying the law,
and refuse to grant the transportaii IN
The law was made effective upon it's
publication in the official state paper.
1t passed both houses and received the
signature of the governor, and has been
published in the Topeka Capital which
was then the official state paper. There is
no reason why the law should be disre'
earded, except on the theory that the
roads intend to fight the act. and test
t coastitu.ionality.
A similar law was declared unconsti-
tltional by the supreme court, but in
pa ssing this law last winter the legis
at on sought to avoid the point which
tn. supreme court made against it. The
bill was introduced in the house of rep
resent,ves by Representative White, of
Ottawa county, and after it's passage in
that BODY was champoned in the upper
house bv Senator Quincy, OF this city.
A test case will be made of the matter

that at least 20 600 persons will buy
tickets over the Santa Fe during the ten

The vegetables usually found easiest
of digestion consist of baked potatoes,

ally digest easily.
Whole wheat brel III and food sub
stances are preferable to white bread
IL they can be easily digested All
bread should be day old before being

PardnerS.

Old Bill Joyce" who tells the story in
"Pardners," by Rex E. beach, in the
sMay McClure's, is rare survival CT the
old frontier days that Bret Harte and
Mark Twain have made their own.
There are no story telleis that can
match these men of the old West. They
were the creators Of humor of the
broad spaces and OF the open that be-
longs to no other place and time.
"Pardners" is tale Of mining adj
venture, and the love of a strong man
for a proud woman "Bill Joyce" un-
tangles his tenderfoot "Pardner's" love
affair with Homeric directness, but with
fine sympathy, and he tells the dra-
matically funny story of the adventure
with the crisp humor and quaintness of
expression that only his kind can com
mand. This is the title story of Rex E.
Beachs new book to- be published this

Trust Making in New Jersey.

upon the incontrovertibe, salient facts
and handles them with characteristic
viriIity and power. The story takes
from his brain a tinge of his own broad
Americanism, and passes beyond merely
local significance. 1t is of stirring inter
est to every American.
JERSEYS career OF trust making is on
the decline The trusts have abused her
frailty, and discredited her corporation
laws. "Such scandals as the Shipbui'd

fame, which ended in prison, and other
unfortunate Jersey companies, brought
a Jersey charter to mean to manv men
nothing but danger" Now, New Jer

truth is that Jersey overreached in her
greed. So did the trusts she licensed,
