Employees of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, especially the fremen
and crews of freight trains, are strongly
obiecting to the new rules of the COM
pany whereby they are compelled to
make runs almost twice as long as the
trips made formerly. The crews now
have to run from Edge Moor to Harris
burg and from Delmar to Harrisburg.
From Delmar to Harrisburg the trip
is made by way of Perrvville over the
Columbia division and is about 200
miles long. This run takes about
thirty-six hours and is considered by
the trainmen too long a time for one
crew to be on the road. Besides this
the freight trains are heavier than for
merly because the motive power of the
company is handicapped and the volume
of material coming in is on the increase.
The engines, therefore, have to haul
more cars which makes it harder on
the fremen and the crews.

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
THE OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE
 VARIOUS ASPECTS.

Continued Six Per Cent. Call Money in
 Prospect-BuIls Point to the COun~
 try's Immense Prospcrity-NOtes.
 The outlook is considered good for a dull and unsettled market for a while yet.
 Whether prices will after the period of waiting go higher or lower is the conundrum which is now agitating speculators.
 Bulls claim that despite the prospect of continued tight money, the coTnmer- eiaI and general business situation is too good to permit a drop in prices that will amount to much Others, claim that six per cent. n1on- ey and four per cent. stocks will not gibe long.
 Some of the opinions of astute Wall street men are, in brief, as follows:
 Carpenter, Baggot & Co.-We be- lieve the flow of money back to the financial center will sound the signal for better prices in securities. Until then an irregular market around pres ent prices may be expected. We favor the long side of the market, buying on a scale down, and not ignoring moder- ate returns on bulges. We see nothing to change our opinion of the ultimate higher level for prices of securities. The need of a better money market is the one deterring influence, and that is an important one, although tempo rary.
 Marshall, spader & Co.-The worlds money markets are still under strain, and it is quite possible the strain on the money market may not be greatly removed before the early dates of Mo- vember, when, as a result of the crop movement, general full relief can be expected.
 Edward Sweet & Co-Professional sentiment is decidedly. bullish, but commission houses are still preaching conservatism. Rates for sterling ex- change were somewhat higher Friday, making it impossible that any further gold could be imported until exchange conditions alter.

STANDING TOGETsHER.

Under the heading, "Give Him a
Square Deal" the following communi-
cation is printed in the Abilene Re-
Hector:
Lansing. sKan.. Sept. 2O.-You OBJ
serve that many papers say that the
reunions of the QuantreH gang could
pc heid IN no country but Missouri,
that their boastinS of and rejoicing
over their bloody work in Lawrence
in 1853 is tolerated in Missouri solely
because of the bitter antazonism there
Tor Kansas and Kansas men, You
have not heard one of these same pa
pers offer a single word of protest
against turning over to these same out
laws and their bosom friends, COM
pan1ons and sympathizers, a certain
Republican United States senator from
Kansas, not to be tried but to be con-
demned and branded by that old-time
Democratic mossback enemy of KAN
saS and the nation. And why must
he be tried in Missouri? Because they
hope he can be branded there as he
could be no place else on earth. Why
not try him in Washington where the
supreme court says offenSe was COM
mitted if there was any offense? Be
cause he cannot be convicted there. 1t
is a conviction that is wanted regard
less of law, right or justice. We hear
much of the square dear' but we
want to see more of it or hear less.
]. B. SHANE.
Is not ]. B. Shane the man who is
serving a term in the penitentiary for
the unprovoked killing of a boy at
Lawrence, the same sort of crime of
which the Quantrel1 raiders were
guilty? II so. it is perhaps not
strange that he should sympathize
with the United States senator who
went down into Missouri to help some
swindlers perpetrate a get-rich-quick
scheme on innocent people.
It is indeed too bad that this United
States senator should be allowed to be
tried in the state which is the home of
the Quantrell raiders and by such of
"these same outlaws and their bosom
friends" as Colonel Pat Dyer. one of
the leading Republicans of Missouri
and United Seates district attorney by
the grace of such a Quantrell-loving
president as William Mckinley; and as
Judge Adams, a Republican United
States judge, who has recently been
promoted to the bench of the United
States circuit court by President
Roosevelt. Colonel Dyer is prosecur-
ing Burton and Judge Adams presides
at the trial. The grand juries which
have indicted Burton and the jury
which tried him are also doubtless
made up of just such f'bosom friends
of the Ouantrell raiders as these two.

ABOLITION OF CLASS SCRAPS.

Who says that civilization is giving
way to barbarism once more? If the
skeptic who is doubtful about the on
ward march of enlightenment will
cast his eyes toward Mount Dread in
Kansas he will have positive evidence
that barbarism has received a de-
cided setback.
The sophomore and freshman
classes at the University of Kansas
have both voted by an overwhelming
majority to do away with 'tclass
scraps" These scraps have been
the custom at Lawrence for years, but
the spirit of progress has made suffi-
cient Roadway as to cause the par
Elephants to voluntarily do away with
them. They are some of the out
groupings of a spirit that has come
down from the time our ancestors
lived strenuous lives in the forests of
Teutonic Europe, and their abolition
indicates the suppression of the bar
barian.
Seriously, this action on the part
of the two lower classes of the great
University of Kansas is a cause for
hearty congratulation and commenda-
ton. Glass spirit is a splendid thing
in any educational institution, but it
should not be manifested in the bar
barrie outbreaks that have gone under
the name of "class scraps
This action has doubtless been
brought about largely through the ira-
fiuence of Chancellor Strong, who is
fostering a new spirit in the university
life at K. U. There is no decrease in
enthusiasm, but it is directed along
better and more wholesome lines. The
young men who constitute these two
classes are deserving of hearty COM
mendation for their loyalty to Chan
cellor Strong in his efforts to make
university life at Lawrence more BEN
eficial to the young people of Kansas
and more of a credit to the great
sunf1oWer state
