Kansas City. No. Oct. z.-The inter-

began an investigation OF the relations
Of railroads to grain dealers and eleva-

I'VE can't tell how many Kansas City

H. Marble. attorney for the commits
sion. Fifteen grain men have been
subpoenaed to appear this morning.
Whether more wiz be asked to
testify depends on the character of the
testimony.
N P. Simonds. Of the Simonds-
Shields Grain company, members of the
Kansas City board OF trade, and buy
ers and sellers of grain. testified that
his partner, E. W. Shield, IS manager
Of an elevator IN Kansas City, a por-
ton Of the storage tanks of which his
firm leases from the Chicago, NIilwau-
kee & St. Paul railway.
On direct examination Mr.. Simonds
said that Mr.. Shields was employed as
manager of the elevator by the AIilwau-
kee railroad and received a stated
monthly salary. This salary, he said,
was not increased IN any manner by
any concessions received from the rail-
way Later, IN reply to a question
from Commissioner Clark, Mr.. Simonds
admitted that there were no switching
charges made by the Milwaukee rail-
way on grain passing in and out OF the
elevator if it came over that road, but
that charge OF. IS a car was made II
handled by any other road.
Mr. Sfmonds denied that the fact that
Mr.. Shields was manager of the eleva-
tor had anything to do with the rea-
sonableness of his firms lease on the
elevator.
MI. simonds said that IN bidding for
grain in the country his firm did not
deal entirely with what are termed
regular elevator men, but said they die
not like to bid for grain owned by IN
dependent elevator men for fear II
might create a feeling with the reg
ulars. They had, prior to two years
ago, received a few Isolated letters fl on
Oklahoma and Kansas persons asking
them not to place bids with certain
grain men, but had not let It influence
their action.
Mr.. Simonds IS not now actively en-
gagged in business and was not familiai
with all the firms dealings. His part

ROSE MUST PAY UP.
Supreme Court of United States Re-
fuses to Take Jurisdiction.

Washington, Oct. 22.-The supreme
court OF the United States today refus-
ed Jurisdiction in the case of Mayor
Rose of Kansas City. Kan. A fine Of
$1,000 was imposed against Rose, by
the supreme court of Kansas for as
suming to act as mayor after he had
been deposed on a charge of failurs
enforce the liquor laws of the state.
The effect of the courts action will be
to leave the sentence of the state court
in effect.
This Is almost the last act in the dra-
ma of the state VS.. ". W. Rose, ex-
mayor of Kansas City, which has been
running throughout the summer in the
Kansas supreme court.
Mayor Rose will now have to pay
the $1,000 fine assessed by the Kansas
supreme court, and the costs in the
case. There was a large amount of
testimony taken in the case, and the
record is voluminous 1t is likely that
the costs in the case will amount to
over $500. Rose will probably be able
to offset this with some receipts from
friends Of his who served as witnesses.
The $1,000 fine which was levied by
the supreme court was in punishment
for contempt The court held that Rose
had violated the mandate of the court
by taking the office of mayor after
having been ousted therefrom by or
der of the court.
The $1,000 when paid by Rose will
be turned over to the state school fund.

ness trip to the northwest, having gone
as far. as Seattle. He stopped here on
his way back to New York He visited
with C. K Holiday and Major Tom
Anderson, president and secretary of
the Commercial club. He said that in
timations had reached his ears that
some question had been raised as to the
financial responsibility of his firm to
back the project, and that the particu-
lar reason he stopped off here was to
dissipate that idea. It did not take him
long to convince Mr. Holiday and Mr.
Anderson that his firm could back q
half a dozen such roads. He expressed
great enthusiasm over the project and
had not the slightest doubt but that his
firm would decide to back it, which It
has done.
There was considerable enthusiasm
among several of the big business men

Denver Live Stock Market.

Denver Union Stock Yards. Feb
ruary 5th.-Prices paid here last
week were intellectually high
on fancy cattle. The western live
stock show brought a large number
of eastern buyers to Denver and
also brought a large number of
fine cattle here. Show cattle were
sold at auction and brought fancy
prices, but even on the open market
values were considerably higher
than the preceding week. The
champion steer of the show brought
$500 per cwt., and the champion
carload of fat steers $1,000. Other
fat steers sold at auction from $500
to 500 and feeders from $3.50 to
1886. Fat steers sold on the mar
ket largely from 1915 to $3.50. A
load of fancy North Park heifers
sold at $500 Others brought SO S5

lot of feeders and stockers offered
and plenty of buyers here to take
them. Eastern cattle feeders have
shipped heavily to market during
the last few weeks and are now
looking for stuff to fill up their
lots again. They were here in
force last week and bought liber-
ally. Prices paid were high, most
of the sales being at $4.O0 and bet
ter for the good kinds. Receipts
today, 1900 head. Beef cattle scarce
and wanted, prices strong to a dime
higher than last week. Feeders in
good demand but market weak to
a dime lower ON account of a de-
cline at all eastern points.
The first western live stock show
has been an unqualified success
and stockmen have returned to
their homes determined to make it
even better next year. The i'm
portance of the events of the past
week to Denver and the live stock
industry of the west can hardly be
overestimated and prospects for a
large packing center here are very

A Tale With a Moral.

The following, where "A moral is
clearly shown, is taken from an
unidentified exchange: Recent
ly church organization in a little
Kansas town built church. To
pay for which they were obliged to
call on the merchants of the COM
munity for donations. The mer-
chants responded literally and
$500 was raised from this source.
The last man asked to subscribe
was John Smith, "a jeweler. "'I will
give S5 if you will let me add some
thing to the subscription list he
said. The permission was accord
ed him and he wrote ut the foot of
the list:
John Smith, jewelry, s5.
Sears. Roebuck & Co. 80.
Montgomery Ward & Co., 30.
"The church people saw the
point when the minister read from
the pulpit the list of donors to the
building fund, and since the dedi.
cation of the church there have
been few mail orders sent out from
that Kansas town"

Edited by Hon. D. E. Newcomb.

Denver was literally taken by
the stockmen and ranchmen last
week and, like the love sick maiden,
she seemed most willing to be taken.
To our gifts of whitefaces, short
horns, pea fed lambs, hogs, big
potatoes and big red apples, she
clapped her hands in delight and
called us by such sweet names that
l am ashamed to put them in print.
Such taffy as we got! We were
most cordially invited to call on
her again next year and bring our
pocket books with us and we 10y
ally said yes, to her invitation.
The two great stock associations,
the National and American, joined
hands and promised to be one for
ever and forever. The Farmers
Congress, new organization, came
into existence, which is supposed
to guard the interests of the farmer.
This organization is supposed to
let the wants of the farmer be
known and demand that these
wants be duly considered by our
legislature and the national con-
gress. Who is better fitted to
frame irrigation laws than the man
who uses the water2 This all i'm
portant Legislation has been con-
cocted by jack-leg- lawyer politi-
clans, whose only knowledge of
the use of water is as chaser.
Every bill on the subject of irriga-
tion should be referred to com
mittee of hard headed farmers for
approval or disapproval before it is
considered by our Legislature.
The tariff is another question of
vital Importance to the farmer.
Gen. Hancock was ridiculed into
his grave because he said that
tariff is a local issue" but no
truer saying was ever uttered. We
want tariff on sugar, on hides, on
wool and on farm products gener-
ally. We don't want it on manu-
factured products. These wants
can best be presented by a state
farmers organization. As long as
this organization Is controlled and
run by farmers, it deserves the
support and good will of the farm
ing community. Itlooks as though
every farmers organization should
have guardian appointed to keep
it from being swallowed by poll
ticians. Mrs. Lutte Wilcox de-
serves great credit for her able and
earnest work in the organization of
this congress.

find no fault with the system, but
Campbell and his system is being
used by lot of land agents and
land sharks to dispose of "A lot of
