SIN Kansas, Corn is the monarch
cereal and prosperity's barometer"

"The fact that Kansas produces
more wheat than any other State or
country in the world always causes,
much earnest watchfulness and dis.
cusslon of its acreage, condition, pros
poets, yield and quality, at home and
throughout the grain, milling, trans
portation, breadstuff, banking and
commercial centers Of civilization.
This would naturally persuade those
without knowledge of the facts to
suppose that Wheat is by far the
States main and foremost crop; yet
compared in importance and value
with her corn, wheat is a side issue,
and but one of various secondary
items the worth of which must be,ag.
to even approach the value
of Corn"

DOES RESOLUTION
RULE CONSTITUTION
Question For Court to Determine in
Rockford's Suit Against the
Three-Eye League.

The demurrer to the bill for an in
junction filed by the attorneys for the
Rockford baseball association against
the Three-Eye league and individual
clubs was argued for five hours before
Judge Myers Saturday at Bloomington,
Col. a f. Fisher and r. X. Walsh rep
resenting the plaintiffs and ODonnell
and Gillespie the defendants.
II is admitted that the decision will
rest on the construction placed by the
Judge on paragraph of section of
he league constitution. which in sub
stance is that the league can drop any
member for business seasons. and also
IN the effect of the resolution adopt
ed at the St Louis meeting. which
gave every club then a member a
three-year franchise.
The Rockford attorneys commended
that granting of franchises under this
resolution suspended paragraph , of
the constitution. that Rockford has
property rights invested to the amount
IF $4,000. and that this gives them a
right to be in court.
The league counsel insisted that the
Three-Eye was a voluntary association.
and that any rights Rockford had were
acquired under the constitution, and
that the club lost these rights when
expelled. expulsion being n right Civ
en- to voluntary associations. They
claimed that Rockford had no right in
curt and the redress was in the
league.

Saturday night Milwaukee had its

A SANTA FE ORDER

Has Bought New Type of LOGON
tive and Thousands of
Freight Cars.

Operating departments of both east.
ern and western railroads are great
" interested in an order which has
just been placed by the Santa Fe for
40 balanced compound locomotives
The Santa Fe already has 20 balanced
compounds. and Is the pioneer in
adopting this kind Of an engine for
passenger work.
The majority Of operating officials
are said to believe that the balanced
compound is still in its experimental
stage. and therefore the investment
by the Santa Fe of nearly 81 500. 900
in this type Of engine occasions wide
spread interest Largely by way Of
experiment the Burlington recently
purchased five Of the balanced com
pounds. The tests which have been
nade have proved highly satisfactory.
The locomotives are said to be ex-
ccedingiy speedy and to run as smooth
y and with as little vibration as a sew
'ng machine. The new cquipmea; or
dered by the Santa Fc includes $500
freight cars and So new passenger
coaches. all to be delivered within four

PETITIONS FOR LOWER
FREIGHT POURING IN
Movement of State Merchants Associa
ton Has Backing of Bust
ness Men.

Petitions signed by practically 1000
shippers and retail merchants of Hi
nois have already been received by the
state headquarters of the Retail Mer-
chants association asking Gov. Deneen
and the railroad and warehouse com
mission to reduce freight rates in this
state. These petitions come from ev-
cry section of the state and represent
he small business men more espcc-
tally. This method of bringing to the
attention of the state government the
feelings of the business men of the
state on this subject was adopted by
The Illinois Retail Merchants asSOcia-
ton about three weeks ago. Blank
petitions were sent out over the state
20 the local associations with request
that they be circulated for signatures
From a number of the small towns the
petitions bear the names of every bus
mess man who has TO pay freight
The demand for the new rates appeals
10 the small towns much more fOrci-
bly, than to the larger, for the com
modify rates which are given in Hi
nois in favor of certain towns and
classes of goods do not apply To the
villages and small cities.
1t appears now that the railroad
board will not hear arguments on the
question of reducing freight rates
March :. The arguments set for that
day will be heard on the motion of At
torney General Hamlin to reopen and
reargue the freight rate case If the
motion is allowed then date for the
reargument will be set later in the
year.
The whole subject of Illinois rates

j. F. MAHONtY APPOINTED
Superintedent of the Territorial Reform
 School at Benson Beruer Resigns.

Governor Kibbey last night tele- graphed Superintendent Berner of the territorial industrial school, request ing his resignation. This action was taken by the governor in consequence of the disclosure made last week by the escape of two girls from the in- stitution, followed by events of such a scandalous nature that they could not he fully described in print. It is evidently the opinion of the executive that but for the grossest carelessness on the part of the management or the employees, for whose acts the super intendent must be held responsible, this escape could not have occurred.
 A young man, lately an inmate of the institution. returned to Phoenix on Satureay night after having com pleted his term. He related the man. ger of the escape of the girls as told by the matron. Her relation was confession of woeful lack of disci- pline. She had ordered one of the girls to go down stairs after some thing. The girl started, when the other girl followed The matron cal led her back, bidding her stay in the room. She paid no attention to the order of the matron, but went down stairs. So little was thought of this act of disobedience that no notice was taken of it, and it was some little time before it was learned that the girls had left the institution.
 The governor late last night re- ceived d reply from the superintendent submitting his resignation.
 The successor of Superintendent Berner will Ire J. r Mahoney of Win slow, who arrived in this city yester- day morning, His appointment will likely be announced today and he will probably leave for Benson tonight. Those who know MT. Mahoney say that such occurrences will not be re- peated at the reform school under his administration. He is a man of high executive ability and strong deter imitation.
 Mir. Mahoney was for long time a Santa Fe Pacific conductor. He has for years been active in republican politics in this territory. Republican, 18th.
