TOPEKA GETS 1T.
Missouri Pacific Grants Milling in
Transit Rate.

Topeka millers will hereafter get Il
milling-in-tra rate on wheat on
the Missouri Pacific as well as on
other railroads running through To-
peka. This mas just been arranged by
W. L. Taylor, who has just returne d
from trip to St. Louis where he Sc
cured this concession from the Mis-
souri, Pacific officials.
me Other roads mere nave given To-
peka this rate heretofore but the Mis-
souri, Pacific has not. 1t means more
to Topeka mills than the average per-
son would think off hand, for the rea-
son that the Missouri Pacific handles
much of the wheat from Barton, Rush
and some of the other big wheat cOun-
ties of central Kansas. It is first
class hard milling wheat and there
are fewer mills along the Missouri
Pacific to use it up than there are
along the other wheat belt roads.
The milling-in- transit rate saves the
Kansas City local rate on flour shipped
cast from Topeka if it goes to St. Louis
or east of there. It does not apply to
shipments west of st. Louis. It means
a saving of seven cents a hundred on
freight.
Now Topeka millers can ship in
wheat to Topeka from along the Mis-
souri, Pacific in the wheat belt stop it
then ship it on to its destination on the
through rate.
Mr.. Taylor also took up the question
of coal rates with the Missouri Pacific.
A reduction of Is cents a hundred has
been granted on coal from the Pitts
burg fields for the summer months for
storage purposes, and there is a pros
pect Of a reduction on steam coal.
1.-THE Missouri Pacific people would
not commit themselves at present.
said Mr.. Taylor, 'but they promised
to take the matter W and I think we
can look for a rate of Z 5 cents a ton
on steam coal. It is now s1.12."
incidentally Mr.. Taylor captured a
contract for his mill to furnish a spe-
cial brand of Kansas hard wheat
flour to a St. Louis firm for both do
nestle and export trade. The con-
tract was secured in competition with
other Kansas mills and calls for 400
barrels q day.

Perhaps the most exciting feature of
the day was the baby show at the Hotel
Carnegie in the afternoon. Two prizes
were offered, one for the prettiest baby
and one for the biggest under three
years old. For the prettiest baby I'M
der one year old there were seven
entries. The fortunate child was the
nine-months old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. W. Brazwell and received as
prize three solid gold pins.
For the biggest baby between the
ages of one and three there were TWEEN
ty entries. The selection of the winner
was made by ballot in both events, and
on the first vote in this contest Nos. /,
and II were tied, and second vote
was taken upon these three and No. II
won. No. l was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs, s. B. Crigger, No. 8 the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hatcher and
No. II, the prize baby, was Jaffa Gump,
the Oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. L. D.
Gump. The prize was a sterling silver
spoon.
The day was very satisfactory from {
financial standpoint, the treasury o
the Public Library being substantially
filled.
