Fine Apples.

Mr.. Fessler of Seward township
brought few samples Of his apples
Wednesday which are as fine as any
we have seen this season. They are
OF the "Gano" and "Black Twig'
varieties, and are beauties, Mr..
Fessler had quit an extensive apple
crop this season, and has already
marketed about 50 bushels of "Mis.
souri, Pippins." We believe in a few
years more the apple industry in this
community will be quite extensive.

Coal Rates Down,

-. Topeka, Sept. l4.-Specisl. The
Santa Fe railroad threw a bomb into
official circles today when it served
notice on the railroad board of a
voluntary reduction in coal rates over
the state. The new schedule, which
will go into effect just as soon as ap-
provud by the railroad commissioners,
&ill reduce rates on lump coal from
both the Pittsburg and Ossage dis.
tricts, on lump coal in tue short grass
Country and on steam coal for most Of
the big towns in Eastern Kansas. ss
"There has been no complaint
against lump rates in the eastern part
of the state" said General Freight
Agent Koontz. "They are plenty
low enough, But Western Kansas
people have. been asking for lower
rates. Fuel is big problem out in
the short grass country, and after a
careful study of the situation, we de,
clded to render them relief, for in
stance, the old rate on lump coat to
to Coolidge was 1910 a ton. The
new schedule fixes it at $3.05, a reduc
ton Of 65 cents. Englewood gets a
reduction Of IS cents ton; Harper
% cents; Kinsley, % cents; JetmOre
30 cents, and so on. In the read
juStment, no rates are increased
Where the old commodity rates art
still lower than the rates under the
new schedule the commodity rate:

JUSTICE BEARD
SAYS NAY, NAY
Will Never Again Ask Voters
of Tennessee for Any
Elective Office.

The slate of his honor, John Joseph
Williams got jar yesterday when Mr..
Chief Justice W. D. Beard, of the Su-
preme Court, announced that under no
possible circumstances would he give
his consent to again be candidate for
elective Office in Tennessee.
The Justice states that he has never
thought of entering combination with
Mayor Williams and Gov. Taylor The
News-Scimitar has never stated that he
had thought of such thing, but it will
state that the closest supporters of
Mayor Williams and Gov. Taylor were
anxious to get behind Justice Beard.
During the past few days gentlemen
have returned from Jackson and stated
that they had talked with Justice
Beard in reference to his candidacy for
governor. s. A. Champion, of Nash
vile, is said also to have been actively
seeking support for Justice Beard for
governor.
81 was surprised, said Justice Beard
to O News-Scimitar man in Jackson,
when l read in the News-SGimitar
that l would probably be made the
victim of gubernatorial boom. I had
not thought of the matter, and the first
intimation | had of the matter was
through the columns OF the peper.
81 will say that am perfectly salts
fed with my present position, and if I
live to fill the remainder of my term I
will never go before the people of Ten
nessee and ask them to give me anoth-
or public Office.
"This question has never been men
toned to me and | have never even
thought of entering into au alliance
with the forces Of Mayor Williams and
Gov. Taylor. There is absolutely moth
ing in the report, as / am not now and
never will he q candidate for the gov
ornorship. Memphis Soimitar,
