LEAvENwoRTH's TAXES.
County Must Produce S54,178 Accord
ing to Auditor

ing to Auditor.
Leavenworth, July 29.-County
Clerk Niehaus has received notice
from Seth G. Wells, auditor of state
and secretary of the state board of
equalization, notifying him that the
state board of equaIiza ton has, in
equalizing the total valuation as re-
ported to him by the county clerk
$9,S47,62o. made a decrease of 20 per
cent. or $342,620 or fixed the total
valuation of the county's property ct
$9,505,040. The countys apportion-
ment of taxes for general revenues of
the state is $54,17S.
The county will have to assess on q
basis of six mills, instead of 5 7-1O
mills as it did last year to make up
this sum because the board made the
reduction. Other counties, like Bour-
bon, are making a cry because they
were raised, the state board increas-
ing the personal property valuation in
that county 10 per cent.
The county clerk has been figuring
on a basis of assessment to raise the
amount the state will call upon the
county treasurer for and finds that the
amount will be about $1,000 short but
this, it is thought, can be made up.
The amount of state taxes is $54,-
17S. Adding 10 per cent. for delin-
quents makes $5,417.S0 or a total of
$50, to be provided for. Six
mills will produce $59,0S5.96 or leave
the amount short $509.84.

A CAR FAMINE POSSIBLE.
Eastern Cars Retained to Help Move
Western Wheat.

The officials of the railroads enter
ing Kansas City say that a general
scramble for freight cars is imminent
and that a shortage of cars is threat
ened. The Santa Fe, Rock Island,
Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific and
Grand Island lines have each been
moving more than ninety cars a day
to Kansas City elevators. The wheat
that was contracted for the July de-
livery is what is causing the scramble
for cars at the present time and the
farmers in the wheat belt are daily
asking for more cars.
1--WE are pressing foreign cars into
SERVICE" one official said, Gears that
belong to eastern lines which are
standing in our yards. For the first
thirty days use we pay twenty cents a
day charges for these cars. After that
time a penalty goes on until the. cars
are returned. 1t costs about eighty
cents day then to keep them. After
wheat has been unloaded in local ele-
vators it is loaded again as soon as
cars can be provided, and is going to
Minneapolis and st. Paul. A quantity
of it has also begun to move toward
st. Louis. Between seventy and 100
cars day are going to the last named
town. If wheat continues to move as
it has been up until the time corn will
be shipped, a car famine is nearly a
certainty Well fight for empty cars
in Kansas City now"

also that the laying of new steel on
this line is going forward in a manner
satisfactory to the management, and
that the line is being ballasted its en-
tire length. c. D. Smith & Co. have
the contract for the grading at Para
gould and at Latour and all other
earth work. Engineer Neher also
stated that surveys and estimates are
now being made looking to building
more double tracks. Within ten days
the figures on ten miles out of Little
Rock, five miles in each direction
north and south on the main line, will
be ready for the bids.

ATE THREE DOZEN EGGS.
An Arkansas City Negro Establishe
a Record

Last night in the alley back of the
Merchants cafe. a negro won wager
by eating three dozen raw eggs at one
sitting. He gobbled up the eggs, Shells
insides and all, and afforded much
amusement for the crowd of bystand-
ers. The negro arranged the exhibit
ton with the understanding that he
was to take up a collection and the
money was to go to him. The eggs
were secured and the negro began
work. He made eggs disappear at
marvellous rate and in a very short
time, not to exceed fifteen minutes, had
filled his part of the contract and also
his stomach with eggs.
There were supposed to be but 36
eggs in the deal but the negro says he
thinks there were at least four more
than that number. Once he got one
that he said tasted fussy but he did
not dare to discard it for fear of losing
the race He took up a collection and
received the magnificent sum of eighty
cents. The man who furnished the
eggs deducted fifty cents for his share
of the roceeds.-Arkansas City Tray

FIRST OF PROCEEDINGS.

Interstate Commerce Commission
Hear Charges Against Mo. Pac.
Kansas City, July 29.-An inquiry by
the interstate commerce commission to
hear the complaints of shippers against
alleged excessive charges in freight
rates was begun here yesterday by
Francis NJ. Cockrell, member OF the
commission. The first case heard was
a complaint made by j. w. Moran and
J. H. Moran, large shippers of -four at
Lamar, Mo-. against the Missouri Pa
cific railroad. They charge that certain
shipments of flour were carried by the
Frisco railroad from Lamar to Little
Rock and there delivered to the Mis-
souri, Pacific or the Iron Mountain and
then hauled to Hope, Ark. The Frisco
charged a rate of zoe per 100 pounds
from Lamar to Little Rock. while the
rate from Little Rock to Hope was lac
per 100 pounds. When shipment or
iginates at Little Rock, it was alleged,
the Missouri Pacific charges only lie per
100 pounds. Commissioner Cockrell
granted the attorneys ten days to make
up the issue in the case. The Morans
admitted they had no complaint against
the Frisco, but complained that they
were overcharged by the Missouri Pa
ci6c.
Commissioner Cockrell next took up
the investigation of private car lines,
which was the special purpose of his
coming to Kansas City. The investiga-
tor was conducted by Frank Barry,
special agent of the interstate COM
roerce commission.

STOLE A SUIT CASE.
Fort Scott Thief Entered a Train and
Got BUSY

Yesterday morning while Frisco pas
senger train No los was standing at
the depot, a sneak thief entered the
coach which had been brought to this
city from Joplin and attached to the
main line train. In the center of the
car F. M. Rice, superintendent of
agents of the Des Moines Fire Insur-
ance company, occupied two seats, re-
Ginning in one with his feet in the
other While Mr.. Rice was half asleep
he realized that his suit case was being
removed from beneath his feet, and
this aroused him. He called to the
fellow who was helping himself. re-
marking, Hold on there, you are
making a mistake" ooh, I guess
not" remarked the thief as he left
the car in haste. with Rice in hot pur-
suit.
The thief proved the best sprinter,
however, and he made good his es-
cape. The case contained transporta-
ton over Western Passenger associa-
ton railroads valued at $202; a new
suit of tailor made clothes which had
been worn but three days; other arti-
cles of wearing apparel and a number
of blanks and valuable papers which
are of value to no one but Mr.. Rice

INDUSTRY RAPIDLY GROWS.
Advanced Price of Zinc Increases Cost
of Chemically Treated Ties.

OF Chemically Treated Ties.
Albuquerque, July 29.-According
to statistics reported by the Santa Fe
railway 111,503 ties (sleepers) were
treated chemically in the United States
in 1885, 1,2S1,311 in 1895, and 49,
772,246 in 1904. The growth of this
industry was naturally slow at first
pending demonstration of the eff
cheney of treatment which required
the lapse of twelve years. Since then
it has been remarkably rapid, espe-
cially in the last two years.
The matter is of interest to metal
lurgy, inasmuch as zinc chloride is the
preservative commonly employed, and
this constitutes a new use for spelter
and one that promises to attain a good
deal of importance. About one pound
of zinc chloride per tie is required on
the average.
Another new use for zinc is in the
preparation of pipe joint compound,
for which zinc (zinc dust) ground in
oil is employed in the same manner
as white lead or red lead. The zinc
compound is being used extensively in
France and has been found to possess
certain advantages over the lead COM
pounds, which have gained for it the
approval of the Societe d'Eneourage-
ment Pour PIndustrie.

OIL ON THE STREETS.
Abilene viii Experiment With a Car
of the Crude.

Some months ago E. Rose offered
Abilene a car of crude oil with which
to experiment in wetting down the
streets. 1t may be tried.
The last legislature appropriated
$4,000 to make an experiment as to
the feasibility of using crude oil on
roads. The experiment will be made
at Manhattan and at Hutchinson under
the direction of the Agricultural col
lege. In California crude oil is not
only used with success on country
roads, but on side streets of the big
cities. The only objection to it i'll the
cities is that the women have to EoId
their skirts up high when they walk
on it, and this objection comes from
the women only. If the state makes
it work Abilene will try.-Abilene Re-

More Travel to Portland Than Was

Las Vegas. N. NJ, July 29.-One of

when rates were being made, railroad
men were somewhat doubtful about a
large amount of business to the fair.
The first part of June developed little,
but during the past two weeks travel
has been unusually heavy and now
agents of the roads are besieged with
inquiries.
