RAILROAD NEWS.
Grain Rate War Is Certain to
Occur.
The Chicago Great Western Cut
Is the Cause Of the Trouble.
OTHER ROADS MEET CUT
Rate War at This Time Might
Cause a Shortage of Cars.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Kansas City, Aug. 19.-The grain rate
war is on in earnest. The Burlington
railroad announced early yesterday that
it would meet the Chicago Great West
ern cut. and this announcement was
followed later by similar notices by the
Chicago & Alton and the wabash lines.
1t is expected that the Rock Island and
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul lines
will meet the cut at once.
The Burlington notice is similar to the
one issued by the Chicago Great West
ern. 1t announces a rate Of 101s cents
on wheat from Kansas City to Chicago
and from Kansas City to st. Paul or
Minneapolis. There are the usual diff
ferentfals to Mississippi river points
and to Peoria. This means three cents
off the rate to Chicago and to Minneap-
OILS Tor shipments to these points. The
Wabash and Chicago & Alton notices
are similar to the Burlington notice. The
reduced rates will become effective to-
day. The Santa F'e has announced a
similar cut to Chicago and to Mime
apolis effective Monday. In addition to
the reduced rates to Chicago and Min
neapolis the Santa Fe has made rates
of TX cents on wheat and 61z cents on
corn to Mississippi river points.
Grain men in Kansas City have beer
indulging in the hope that there would
be no grain rate war this year. But il
has started even earlier than usual and
bids fair to assume even more than or
binary proportions. 1t is regarded as q
bad time for rate cutting. There is sc
| much wheat that it will require the best
| efforts of the railroads to move it. While
there has been no car famine, the cut
ting of rates, with the heavy movement
| of grain that will naturally follow, viii
cause shortage of cars.
This rate cutting is against Kansas
| City" said a board of trade man. II
| takes the wheat away from the Kansas
| City mills to other centers, besides dis
turbing situation that should remain
as it is. The rate war, as understand
| it, has grown out of favoritism showT
by one railroad line to certain firms. L
has been noticed that these firms have
| been buying wheat on the Kansas City
market for delivery in Chicago. wher
it is known that the difference between
the buying price in Kansas City and the
selling price in Chicago would leave NJ
margin for profit unless the buyer was
favored in matter of shipping rates OF

GOLDEN DREAM ENDS.
Blue Rapids Man and Woman Have
Sad Experience.

Manhattan, Kas, Aug. ia teIe-
phone message from Blue Rapids to
Marshal Boiler, a false and recreant
man and woman detained, and the
sweet dreams of a golden future van
ished. So goes the story of one Frank
ids. Mrs. Hickey, who is aged about
25 years, fairly good looking, left her
husband and ran away with a married
man by the name of Frank Davis
who is probably As years old, but not
a handsome man.
The couple drove from Blue Rapids
to this place, arriving here some time
during Tuesday afternoon. Marshal
Boiler was called to the long distance
telephone in answer to a call from the
authorities at Blue Rapids, and when
asked if he had seen the runaway
couple replied that the parties de-
scribed were then driving down
detain them.
After leaving the telephone the
marshal found that his hayward man,
woman, team and all had disappeared.
The officer became a little excited at
the thought of a chance of losing his
victims, but being man who does
things when things are to be done.
was not long in locating Mrs. hickey
and Mr.. Davis journeying eastward.
When accosted by the officer they
said they were going to Kansas City.
But by a good stiff bluff on the part
of the officer the couple returned to
town. Upon the arrival of an officer
and the husband of Mrs. Hickey from
Blue Rapids on the noon train, their
husband promised not to punish the
invader of his home, and the woman
returned to her own. Davis sold his
outfit here and left the country.

easily in slow time. The second meet
ing took place at Readville, Mass,
when Sweet Marie turned the tables
and won in remarkably fast time. The
match was two in three heats. liver
ton won the first by half a length in
2:05 Y, which was the fastest time of
the year. Sweet Marie tok the second
heat by a neck in 2:04% ~, reducing
Tiverton's time three-quarters of a
second and equaling her own best
time. The third and deciding heat
was also won by Sweet Marie in
2:06A. in this heat Tiverton was
beaten at the half mile, and, although
Howell pushed the game son of Cali
leo, he was unequal to the effort, and
Sweet Marie came under the wire an
easy winner.

Threw Rocks at Passengers.

Leavenworth, Kas., Aug. 19.-Will
McCawIey was arrested last night for
throwing rocks at the excursion steam
er. He and several comrades have
been doing this repeatedly just before
the boat comes inshore on the return
trip. Last night several of the en-
ployes of the boat gave chase and cap
tured McCawley, bat his companions,
who were according to him, "Poopey''
Geiger and Art Blaxton, escaped. The
captive was taken to the police station
and sent to Jail. The police are search
ing for his associates. This habit of
throwing rocks exposes the passengers
to serious injury Several large rocks
were found in McCawley's pockets.

BOMBS FOR MONEY BAGS
Internal Machines Sent to Prominent
New York Capitalists.

New York, Aug. 19.-An explosive
package capable of causing death has
been sent to Jacob H. Schiff, the
banker, at the Office of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., of which he is a member. Mr..
Schiff was at Bar Harbor, and when
the machine, enclosed in wooden box
about six inches long, was received at
his Office clerks sent it to the police.
At first the police reported that the
affair was joke. but further investi-
cation by an expert revealed the pres
ence of 81 grains of a high explosive
powder and two 80 calibre loaded
cartridges. Arranged so as to fire this
charge merely by ordinary handling
of the package, was cylinder of
emery paper lying in contact with
both the powder and several matches.
The flash of this powder would have
discharged the cartridges which had
been carefully filed at the Illuminating
end. Lead slugs were packed in be-
hind the bullets, evidently to make the
discharge more dangerous. Through
out the machine there was an oily
saturation to insure the flash of any
one of the matches reaching the
powder. The whole mechanism was
concealed under newspaper wrap
ping of Wall street stock quotations.
Mr.. Schiff was one of the delegates
which recently visited NJ. White, the
Russian envoy at Portsmouth, in the
interest of the Jews in Russia.
A second Internal machine, resem-
bling that sent to Jacob H. Schiff, was
received through the mail at the office
of M. Guggenheim's Sons, at II Broad
way. The contents were nearly the
same as those of the Schiff bomb. A
clerk was suspicious of the package,
as the address was made of printed
letters cut from a newspaper, and he
placed the package in water. After
standing there a short time there was
a slight explosion, due it is thought to
gases generating in the box.

SNAP FOR A CONVICT.
Serves Three Hours When the SEN
tence Was for Year.

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. 19.-The
Times says: For a Driosner to serve
only three hours in the penitentiary
for an original sentence of one year
and one day is certainly unusual This
is true in the case of T. J Attaway. 1t
was through the recent ruling of the
attorney general of the United States
that the prisoner was released from
confinement under the circumstances
surrounding his case. AttaWav was
brought to the federal penitentiary
"wednesday morning at o'clock by
Marshal B. H Colbert of the southern
district of the Indian Territory. He
was sentenced at Chickasha, I. T., to
day for false pretense. The sentence
was given on October 10, 1904.
Instead of bringing the prisoner to
the federal penitentiary at that time
to serve out his sentence he was al
lowed to go out on d suspended SEN
tence and it was not until August 9th
that the court ordered that he be
brought to the federal penitentiary to
serve out his time.
The attorney general had ruled that
allowances of good conduct should
commence from the date of sentence
and not from the time the prisoner is
received at the penitentiary. This
ruling was made June 10, 1905, Alta
way was therefore entitled to a de-
duction from his sentence of one year
and one daZ of two months and twelve
days which would cause his term to
expire on August 9TH of this year
The prisoner could not be released
in the Indian Territory on this ruling
for the reason that he had to be
brought to the prison and it was for
the reason that the marshal wished to
comply with the ruling of the court
that the prisoner was sent here even
after his sentence had expired.
Attaway was received at the prison
in the customary manner He was
taken to the deputy's office and the
warden had a receipt for the prisoner
given to the marshal The prisoner
was compelled to be photographed the
same as any other convict for the rea-
son that the officials wished to have
some evidence that they had him in
confinement for a time at least IFs
was given a bath and forced to weal
the regular prison clothes while he
was being measured and Photographic &c
by the record clerk. Immediately
after these duties were performed he
was given a new suit of citizens cloth
ing and was ordered discharged by the
warden. In compliance with the Law
governing the discharge of prisoners
the officials gave him the new suit OF
clothing, a railroad ticket to his bona
fide residence and SIS in cash.

CLING TO COAL.

NOTECONOMY,THEYSA SAY

Test, However.
Packing Houses Now Consume
10000 TOnsMonthIy.

Kansas City, Kan, Aug. 19.-The
packers here do not show eagerness to
substitute natural gas at ten cents for
1000 cubic feet for coal at present
prices.
The packers across the line are using
10000 tons of slack or steam coal each
month, and it is now delivered to them
at sl-10 to $1.25 ton. At such n low
price, and with the improved mechani-
cal stokers and appliances for handling
the coal. it is doubtful if gas at ten
cents for 1000 cubic feet can compete
with coal
The coal situation is entirely differ
ent from what it was a year ago. said

OF the Armour packing house this morn
ing. we were then paying $3.50 to 81.
for the best Cherokee slack. Now we
are getting the same coal delivered to
US at $1.10 to $1.25.''
What has caused the reduction in
price?' he was asked
"Oh, several things. The use of oil
as fuel has had something to do with
it. 1t has brought about a reduction
of thirty cents ton in the freight rate.
We could not consider natural gas at
ten cents under the present coal condi-
tion.''
c. w. Armour said that if it were
demonstrated that the supply of natural
gas is permanent and natural gas is
furnished a prices that will enable it
to compete with coal, it will not take
long to equip the furnaces for its use.
The Armour company uses 500 tons of
coal a day at it's Kansas City plan
A. z. Peterson, manager of the
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger packing
house, said this morning that since the
Wyandotte Gas company had announc-
ed a special rate of ten cents for large
consumers he intended to look into the
matter thoroughly. He knew of no
practical test that has as yet been
made to determine the power of the
Kansas natural gas as fuel under boil
ers as compared with that of western
coal.
The Wyandotte Gas company's repre-
sentatiyes, however, assert that natural
gas at the manufacturers rate can sue
cessfully compete with coal at $1.50
when the cost of handling the coal is
considered.
I'VE intend to equip a boiler room at
our plant on Third street, said G. S.
Barrows, manager of the appliance de-
partment. Then when natural gas is
will be able to show exactly what can
be done with natural gas as fuel for
manufacturing purposes"
AS the use of natural gas under boil
ers or in furnaces is novelty, the Wy
andotte Gas company decided to make
installa lions for these purposes on a
free trial of so days actual use. All
work is to be done at the company
expense, the appliances to be removed
at the expiration of that time if not sat-
isfactory in every respect.

GREAT TRorrERs TO MEET.
Lou Dillon, Major Delnlar and Sweet
Marie May Clash.

New York, Aug. 19.-Lovers of light
harness racing are awaiting with
B. McGwathmey of New York, to
match Tiverton, 2:0415, against Lou
Dillon, f:58A: Major Delmar, 1859 u !,
and Sweet Marie, 2:04 u, for $4,000
a corner. If the challenge is accept
ed, the purse will be worth $4,000 to
the owner of the winning horse, as a
$4,000 purse is almost certain to be
offered for the event. The match, if
arranged, will be the most important
in the history of trotting, and will
bring together the four greatest trot-
ting horses now before the public.
The challenge is the outcome of
the race at Readville between Tiverton
and Sweet Marie which was won by
the latter. In the first meeting between
these two crack campaigners at Phila-

Santa F'e to Use steam shovels.

Arkansas City, Kan, Aug. 19.-Two
steam shovels will be in operation on
the Santa Fee in this locality in a very
short time. One is already here and
another one is expected in a few days.
One is owned by Langtry & Sharp of
San Francisco, and the other by Con-
tractor Elgy of Chicago. 1t is likely
that one of the big machines will be
sent to Winfield, where the grade is
being changed and put to work. There
is about ten days work there. The
other will be put to work her to cut
down the grade south of the city.
Work will begin in a short time on the
changes that are to be made to the
Santa Fe railroad bridge across the
Arkansas river. The bridge is to be
raised, so that the south end will be
twelve feet higher. This will require
some time and a good deal of labor.

A Federal Territorial Judge Is Now in
Trouble.

Washington. Aug 19.-Charges
have been filed in the department of
justice by citizens of Globe, Ariz.,
against Associate Justice Tucker of the
territorial court which, it is said, in
vo1ve his judicial and personal con-
duct. It is alleged that when Justice
Tucker went to Arizona some months
ago to assume his official duties he let
it be known to the citizens of Globe
that if he made that city his home a
residence would have to be provided
for him. and intimated in case of fail
ure of the people to make this pro-
vision for him he would be compelled
to take. up his residence in another
part of his district. 1t is charged that
the residence was actually provided as
requested Other charges are made of
more or less Importance, all of which
are under investigation by the depart
ment of justice. A report is expected
soon.

POTATOES MOVE SLOWLY.
Kaw Valley Crop Is Not So Large as
i'm Former Years.

Kansas City, Aug. 19.-The Kaw
valley potato crop Is not moving as
rapidly as in years gone by, nor is the
crop so large. Colonel c. E. Wagar,
contracting freight agent for the Mis-
souri, Pacific, returned yesterday from
trip up the Kaw river and states that
while the potatoes are excellent in
quality, they are not overly plentiful.
The great demand on the railroads to
handle the grain crop has used up all
the available cars and it is a difficult
thing to provide cars for the potato
men. It is estimated that the yield in
the Kaw valley this year will not run
over 125 bushels to the acre. while in
1902. which was a record breaker,
yields of ESQ bushels to the acre were
not at all unusual s.

ROCK ISLAND MAY EXTEND.
May Build Short Road from Asher

Shawnee, Okla, Aug. 19.-The re-
vival of rumors of the extension of the
Asher branch of the Rock Island south
of Asher to the Rock Island-Frisco at
Rolf, 1. T., is creating some little in
terest here. The occasion of the rumor
is the news that the Rock Island after
three years of litigation has within
the past ten days secured title to the
Miller land which blocked building of
the road at the rock ford at the Cana
dian river south of this place. At one
time Asher had population of six
teen hundred people. When the road
stopped at Asher property increased in
