der, three ounces OF alum, and an
ounce of tartar. Heat half of the water
scalding hot in a porcelain kettle and
dissolve in it the alum and the cream
OF tartar. When they toll, put in the
material and boil for two hours; then

madden small, and add the other three
gallons of water. put in the goods and
keep scalding hot for one hour, stir
ring frequently. Then let them boil
fer five minutes, drain and rinse in

Put them all in at once. but do not
crowd them. Stir frequently, rinse in

shade. a copper, brass or porcelain
kettle should be used, not an iron one.
To dye cotton yellow, take three
quarters of a pound OF sugar OF lead,
dissolve in hot water. Also dissolve a
quarter of a pound Of bi-chromate of
potash. Dip the goods from one to
the other until the desired shade is OBJ
tanned. These amounts will CO. five
pounds of materials. To color white
or e lace to match ecru or coffee
tints, dip well in the following solu-
ton: For cream color. weak
strained solution of yellow ochre, and
coffee color may be produced with
strained coffee. Straw color is made
with a solution of Oolong tea. Butter
color can be secured by a weak solu-
ton of gambage. 1t is sometimes nee
essary TO remove the color from an
article before it can be dyed. This
may be done by washing in hot soap
suds or boiling in soap suds until
faded. Rinse thoroughly.--Chicaeo

The passing of the whale is sadly

A certain Boston gentleman has
such an exaggerated respect for the
blue blood of that city which runs in
his veins that his manner is slightly

pose of discussing plans for meeting
the demands and necessities of the
freight traffic business
This meeting was the same thing
as calling each individual to my Office
in Chicago" said Mr.. Biddle, land
asking him for a report there. Instead
1 had them all meet me in Kansas
City at the same time. Each official
and agent reported what was needed
on his division, and what improve
ments or equipment would be needed
for the next year. Some of them told
OF difficulties which others had met
and overcome and by all discussing
such questions together the meeting
was beneficial.
"Then I wanted to get acquainted
with the men. I wanted to see their

Trains VIA be running from sweet
water to Wichita by June 1.
Wichita. Jan. by the first day of
June the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient
Railway company expects to run it's
first train from SWeetWa ter, Tex, to
this city. This announcement came from
J. c. Foley, superintendent of the Wich-
tia district. The big steel and pile
bridge across the South Fork of the
Canadian river is nearly completed The
bridge is being constructed so as to
guard against high water. -Four steel
spans are being built across the main
channel of the river, and the balance
of the distance across the bottoms will
be covered by piling. In ALL the bridge
Will be over a mile in length, and is
without doubt the. finest bridge across
that river.
o. @. Burrows. commercial agent for
the Orient, is now in the neighborhood
of the new work looking after the in
terests of the company, and securing
business for the road when it will be
opened for traffic in the near. future.
Over three thousand tons of steel are
now on the ground south of the river
and will be laid up to the river by the
time the bridge is done The boarding
train for the steel gang has been or
dered to the end of the line. which
shows conclusively that the company
means to push the work to an early
completion.
The road also has three line, new en-
gines now on the road to this city, and
they will be used on the line between
this city and FairvieW as soon as they
arrive. The big engine the company
purchased some time ago will be used
on the south end of the line. as the
road-bed down there is composed of a
greater amount of good dirt and rock
than the line from this city to Fair
view
A E StiIweu. president of the road.
will soon leave Kansas City with an
other train loaded with eastern capital
lists, on a trip over the completed lines
and the territory tributary to the line
now under construction The date has
not been definitely announced when he
will make the trip over this part of the
system. but it is thought that the line
will be across the Canadian river when
the excursionists go over this part of
the DAD.

DISCUSSES WATERED STOCK.
Mr.. Sticlzney Says Railroads Are No
Worst Offenders.

~ OESL OHGuuGIS.
St. Paul, MINI, Jan. 12.-President
A. 3. Stickney of the Chicago Great
Western railway delivered an address
yesterday before the Minnesota mu-
nicipal convention on THE Railways
and the People" Among other things
Mr.. Stickney said on the subject of
watered stock:
There is no distinction in this re-
spect between railway capitalization
and the capitalization of other fixed
property, which would in any degree
Justify such discriminating legislation,
because it is we'll known that there is
more water in the capital value of
other forms of fixed property than in
railway property.
1T is well known that the capital
value of the farms and other fixed
property of the nation contains about
one part of actual cash cost to ten or
more parts of water which exceeds by
many fold the ratio of cash to water
in the proudest reorganized railway
company.
AS to railway rebates, the speaker
said:
Experience has proven that under
present conditions. without effective
support from the law, railways are
powerless to prevent rebates, and kin
bred devices, and experience has
proven as long as rebates exist no
manufacturing or mercantile business
is safe"
The remedy by consolidation of all
railroads into one strong enough to
defy rebate seekers would be worse
than the disease, the speaker said.
