City, o. T., there was 900 bushels of
corn piled along the tracks of the Santa
Fe. That corn was contracted for de-
livery November Is. It was contracted
for at a good price. But the time limit
came and the grain couldn't be moved
by the railroad, hence the contract was
Cancelled, the price having dropped in
the meantime. There was case of
great loss"
J. r. Koontz, of the Santa Fe, said:
''I conferred for a short time with the
millers relative to the shortage of cars.
OF course this shortage is serious. It
was impossible to make any definite
promise as to when this situation might
be relieved. But it was promised them
that relief would be extended in this
respect just as soon as possible. This
statement affects not only the mtllers
and grain elevator men of the state,
but others, for you understand there is
quite a shortage generally. I should say
that there is 81 per cent of the wheat
crop of Kansas not yet moved from the
farms. The corn crop also is coming
in. We hope to have the conditions i'm
proved soon."
It is Complained by the millers that
the cotton industry of the southern
states is taking away much of the
equipment legitimately belonging to
this territory, and therefore to the grain
farmers. It appears that when the
southern roads get hold of cars they
make use of them as long as possible,
greatly to the detIiment Of their north
ern grain growing neighbors.
Among those present at the meeting
were: George H. Hunter, wellington,
president Southern Kansas NTillers' as
sociation; +. D. Stevens, Wichita, sec
retary Southern Kansas Millers' asso-
citation; H. o. Bradley. Clyde, secretary

new DEvLIN SUIT.
La Sale County End Of Railroad in
Receivers Hands.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Five miles of the
Toluca, Marquette & Northern Rail-
way company, c. J. Devlin property,
which extends into La Sale county,
Ill. was placed in the hands of a re-
ceiver here today by Judge Bethea of
the United States district court, on the
suit of the receiver of the Spring
Valley National bank.
In explanation of the above dis
patch J. E. Hurley, general manager
of the Santa Fe and also one of the
receivers of the Devlin estate, said:
There was some question as to
whether the road could be forced into
receivership on an involuntary bank
ruptcy proceedings so a suit was
brought upon voluntary bankruptcy
proceedings and it was maintained by
the court"
The Toluca, Marquette & Northern
Railway company was one of the late
favored projects of c. J. Devlin and
upon which a large part of the wealth
of the coal operator was lavished.
The total mileage of the main line as
given by the receivers report is 81. .3s
with 1859 additional miles of sidings
and spurs.
The assets as given in the same re-
port is $636,376.91 with liabilities oi
$1,447, 1886.

jars of money containing So, 10 under
the impression that she was about to
die. Mrs. Hines had been very kind
to her in her illness, and she desired
to show her appreciation. She told
Mrs. Hines that the two jars of money
were given her in return for faithful
services and sincere friendship. But
Mrs. Connolly failed to die. On the
other hand, she got better, and before
long was as well as ever. And when
she had regained her health she asked
Mrs. Hines to give back to her the
two precious jars with their contents.
And Mrs. Hines refused. Wherefore
Mrs. Connolly had Mrs. Hines in po-
lice court the other day. The magis-
trate said the case was too cOmplicat-
ed for him, and ordered it to a higher

Perhaps one of the most unusual

stantly worse, so that for the past few
years he had been in great pain IN

CHURCH KEEPS OILY MONEY
ITO PREVENT ANY MAN FROM DO
ING GOOD is WRONG"
The Mission Board States Its Reaa
sons for Not Returning MIR.
RockefeIIer's Cash.

A statement has been made public
by the prudential committee of the
| American board of commissioners
for foreign missions which voted to
accept 800, 900 offered to the board
by John D. Rockefeller.
Two weeks ago the prudential COM
mittee recommended the acceptance of
the money, but in view of the strong
protests made by the Congregational
clergy final action was deferred for
few days, when a supplementary re-
port was made by subcommittee
This report, together with that of
two weeks ago, was adopted.
The supplementary report takes up
the objections of the protestants- and
asserts that they are not sufficient to
prevent the board from accepting the
money.
One of the principal points raised in
the report is the claim of the commit
tee that the American board cannot
now legally return Mr.. Rockefeller's
money because the considerations of
the highest court are to the effect that
trustees who have Cnce accepted q
gift and assumed certain obligations
have no power to return the gift and
to absolve themselves from those OBJ
legations The committee holds that
by returning the gift as suggested by
the protesting clergymen, the Ameri-
can board would be made response
BILE not only to those for whose benefit
the gift was designed, but also to the
present officers successors.
The statement refers to the fact that
the board has already used one-half
of Mr.. Rockefeller's gift, which was
actually accepted on February IA. The
committee holds that the proposal by
the protestants, namely. the return OF
the gift, would have been wrong, for
it would have expressed "disapproba-
ton and condemnation of man
when he was doing an act of benevo-
Ience."

DEFIES THE "BIG STICK"
FIERY CASTRO TALKS PLAINLY
TEDDY IN SPIRITED REPLY.
President Will Not Yield
If Uncle Sans Whole Army
and Navy Gets After Him.

| CORRESPONDENCE of the Associated
press says President Castro will not
withdraw the New Y Ork and Bermudez
Asphault Company case from the
| Venezuelan courts and will not re-
submit the Olcott case to arbitration
if the whole American army and navy
come to Venezuela. "
This emphatic statement Of General
Alexandra Ybarra, the Venezulan
secretary of foreign affairs, reflects
the spirit of the reply which President
Castro made to the recent proposal of
the American state department for ar
duration of the Burmudez and Olcott
cases.
1t was generally rumOred through
out Venezuela that the demand of the
United States was a little less than an
ultimatum to General Castro, and the
reply of the Venezuelan president was
awaited with interest.
Predictions of Intervention from the
refusal of Castro to yield were freely
made and there was much uneasiness
when it was announced that the Vene-
zuelan government had not only re-
fused the demand to arbitrate the case
but had supplemented its refusual with
a request that the United States de-
clare whether it has any respect for
the sovereignty and the courts of Ven
ezuela.
Nearly two weeks have passed since
Castro made his reply, and as no ac--
ton has been taken by the United
States and no further demands have
been made the last demand of the
United States has gone the way OF
many previous requests for arbitra-
ton, and the incident is practically
closed as far as its discussion in
Caracas is concerned.

BIG FEE CLAIM COMPROMISED.
Alabama Will Not Get $112,5OO for
Recording SeabOard Mortgage.

Recording SeabOard Mortgage.
A Montgomery dispatch says the
Continental Trust Company of Balti-
more has effected compromise with
the state of Alabama in the suit which
the state instituted against that con-
Germ to secure the amount of S1l2, 500
which the state charged as fee for
recording a mortgage of S75, 900, 900 at
Is cents on each 800. The reason
given for the compromise is that only
$40, 600, 900 was recorded. The matter
concerned the recording of the mort
gage against the Seaboard Air Line
Railway Company. This reduces the
amount which the state will get to $l5,-
1000.
A similar compromise has been
made in the case of the Republic Iron
and Steel Company. In this case the
amount of money involved was not so
great The state is to receive "a, 800
instead of Sl5, 600.

Investigation Has Shown 1t to BE a

Are you a sufferer from cOnsump-

fear aside. The report comes from
Buenos Ayres by way of Mexico city
and Washington that scientific inyes-
tigation has shown the tapeworm to
be the deadly enemy Of the bacillus
of consumption. Indeed, it is assert
ed that the consumption germ cannot
exist in the same neighborhood-that
is to say the same human internal
economy with the tapeworm. Not
only is the tapeworm specific where
consumption has developed, it is said,
but it is also a preventive OF the dis
ease. Heretofore the tapeworm has
been regarded as fierce and deadly
enemy of the human race; now we are
told it is a most benefcent protector.
