The action Of the beef trust in putting
UP the price Of meat at this time, says
the Pittsburg Post. naturally provokes
criticism. For one thing it seems to
argue a contempt for the criminal pro-
ceedings now under way in the federal
courts against the magnatesof the trust.
The act will, however, probably be de-
Tended upon the ground that the state
Of the market is alone responsible for
the increase and that the enhancing of
the price has no reference to the judicial
proceedings. It is maintained, however.
that there is no proper justification for
the action Of the trust in forcing up
prices at this time. Inasmuch as a
large section Of the people are not eat
Ing meat just now. the demand for it
would hardly seem to justify the
trusts action.

DRENNING SAYS NO.
Refuses Consent to Appointment of
A. NJ Thomas.

The distuT bance which is being made
about a little s35 job under the new ad-
ministration of city affairs is something
awful This morning a delegation of
five well dressed colored citizens called
on City Attorney Dreaming and pro-
ceeded to LAY down" on him in the
most approved political fashion. They
demanded that he endorse A. M. Thorn
as, the colored man who wants to be
police court assistant for the city at
torney. This position pays $35 per
month.
Mr.. Dreaming and the colOred delega-
ton fought it out in a half hour ses-
sion behind closed doors. Dreaming told
the colored men that he would not al
low his appointments to be dictated by
politicians The colored men told him
that they had worked for him in the
campaign, and deserved his help Dren-
ming said he didn't know about that,
but that he had never heard of Mr..
Thomas or Mr.. Guy. the cOlored law
yers who are both after the job, ever
doing anything for him in a political
way The delegation told him that he
ought to give the colored race a show,
and Dreaming replied that he would
rather give up his office than allow poll
tics to dictate his appointments.
The indications are that Mayor Davis
has given the colored people to under
stand that he viii appoint their man
Thomas if they can get Drenning's en-
dorsement. He has thus avoided IN
very neat fashion the responsibility for
turning down their application for

held responsible for the management of
this office I should at least be allowed
to pick out the men I want for my as
sistants. I realize that I am up against
a hard job, and 7 want to make the
best possible showing"

THE RlNKER CASE.
'Ladle of Politics Used in the
Stirring

The case in the United States dis
trict court against J. NJ. Rinker, charg-
ed with sending obscene letters through
the mail at Wa-Keeney, Kan, to Mabel
Ashcroft and Cosie Jones of that town,
was given to the jury at 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon.
The entire morning was consumed
with the arguments. United States At
torney Dean appearing principally for
the government and David Overmyer
for the defense Mr.. Deans argument
was very severe. He said that unless
courts and juries took advantage of the
restrictions offered by the postal laws,
nothing under the sun could prevent
the mails from being used for the most
indecent purposes ever devised He
urged the jury to take full cognizance
of this fact.
On the other hand Mr. Overnyer was
very drastic in his denunciation of the
charge, saying that it was practically a
Matched up scheme for the purpose of
injuring if not wholly destroying J. NJ.
Rinker. He dWelt particularly upon
his assertion that the ''ladle of the po-
Itical brew had been used in the stir
ring"
Judge Pollock charged the jury upon
the end of the noon recess, and the
jurors retired to their deliberations at
half-paSt two.

NO MORE ROLLING STOCK.
Santa Fe Reports $4,000 Decrease
This Year.

The railroads are now making their
returns to the state auditor for taxa
ton purposes. Most of them return
about the same property as last year.
A year ago the Santa Fe reported
a tremendous increase in rolling stock,
amounting to nearly 100000, or sew
eral times as much as all the other
roads combined. This year the Santa
Fe reports a decrease of about s65.O03
in rolling stock. Most of the other
roads report the usual slight Increase.
The first gas company has also re
ported its pipe line under the new

This applies to pipe lines which arc

Gas company pipes gas from Wilson
county over to Yates Center in Wood
son county. It reports property to
the value of $24,652.

Car Shortage on Northern Pacific.

Car Shortage on Northern Pacific.
The apple buyers of this city are
in bad straits at present on account
of the car shortage on the Northern
Pacific. They are unable to ship
their fruit, and have been in this
condition for the past thre or four
days. In the meantime the ware
houses are full to the ceiling and each
apple buyer is receiving kilograms
from the eastern commission houses
asking why the fruit is not shipped.
One apple man, in speaking of the
condition to a Republic reporter this
morning, said:
II got one car today the first for
four days. and you can see the sort
of fix l am in when I tell you that
1 have 1000 boxes of apples here in
my warehouse waiting for shipment.
That is not all. The farmers are after
me every day asking why I don't take
their fruit as I have agreed. 1t does
not do the fruit any good to be de-
layed in this manner, and it seems to
me that with the amount of shipment
that is done from this point we ought
to have little more consideration at
the hands of the Northern Pacific. -
