BAGGAGE AGENTS ON A TRIP.
VIII Pass Through Topeka Tomorrow
En- Route FOR Coast.


Members of the American Associa-
ton of General Baggage Agents will
go through Topeka tomorrow morning
en- route to Los Angeles where their
twenty-sixth annual convention sWffl
open March IA.
Every railroad in the United States
and Canad a is represented IN the asso-
citation, and it is expected that the
forthcoming meeting in California will
be one of the largest ever held.
The arrangements for the journey to
Los Angeles provide that all who can
VIII congregate in Chicago to leave
there over the Santa Fe road at 10
o'clock tonight. Special through Pull
man cars viii be attached to the train
for the accommodation Of memb ers.
The train is due to arrive at Grand
Canyon at 4:3O p. m, March II, and
will leave there at $50 a. m. March 10,
thus giving a. whole day to visit the
Grand Canyon of Arizona. The sinten-
ton is to hold the special Pullmans at
Grand Canyon or Williams so that the
members clear through from Chicago
to Los Angeles.
It is sixteen years since the associa-
ton has met on the Pacific coast. It
can readily be understood that there
has been great change in the person
mel of the association in the interval,
so that the trip VIII be an entirely new
experience to many Of the general bag
gage agents
Among the subjects that are to be
discussed by the association at the con
vention are:
String checks versus brass plates.
The printing of uniform conditions
on back Of car checks: the advisability
and legality of the same.
Uniform laws and regulations re-
garding disposition of unclaimed bag
gage.
The subject of separate wagon con
tracts for the transfer Of passengers
and their baggage.
Further consideration and report on
the subject Of limitation of liability on
baggage
The question of the agitation in diff
ferent states relative to reducing ex-
cess baggage rates and increasing the
free allowance.
New regulations. state OF Pennsyl-
vania, relative to transportation of the
dead.
Uniform system Of forwarding and
recording value packages, style Of
label and class Of articles to be han
died.
Lack of uniformity in rules and
regulations as to weight allowance for
variations of scales.
After the business proper of the con-
vention has been disposed of 1t IS ex-
peeted that number of side trips to
points of interest in California will be
arranged.

period named was s24.O83.40.
It was the original intention of the
roads to resist the enforcement Of the
new law in the courts. but 1t now has
been decided at least to postpone this
action until the legislature has had an
opportunity to reconsider. as it is be-
ieved it viii be willing to do on the
showing made by the railroads. They
assert that the losses shown far= the
figures prepared are eonfscatorv in
their nature. and as the law has failed
utterly to accomplish the object for
which it was intended. it IS believed
the legislature should have no hesita-

Not until Hyomei was discovered, had
it been possible to say truthfully that
remedy for catarrh was known.
Hyomei cures the worst cases Of ca
tarrh simply by breathing the remedy
through the pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit Using the treatment
in this way for few minutes four times
a day. every particle of air taken in the
air passages and lungs is laden with
germ killing and health-giving Hyomei.
Stomach drugging often causes dis
ordered digestion, and never makes
permanent cure of catarrh. Hyomei not
only kills the germs IN the throat and
nose, but penetrates to the minutest
air cells in the lungs and enters the
blood with the oxygen. killing the ca
tarrhal germs in the blood.

EXHIBIT NEW SAFETY DEVICE.
Mechanism Invented to Minimize Dan
ger in Handling Trains.

Chicago; March S-A novel and i'm
portant safety device for handling
trains is being exhibited by its inven-
tors, the Electric Signagraph and
Semaphore company, in it's Chicago Of
fees. Railroad men who have examin-
ed the mechanism declare It a great
improvement in the method of signal
ing trains and something that will mini
mize the danger of collisions.
The device consists of system of
semaphores distributed at intervals
along the track, and each one connect
ed with the train dispatcher's office in
such way that that official can oper-
ate any Of them at viii. This is done
without the necessity of using any ex-
ira wires, the telegraph wires being
utilized.
If the dispatcher wishes to stop
train at any point along the road, all
he has to do is to turn the indicator
on a dial in his Office to the point which
connects with the semaphore where the
train is to be stopped. touch the but
ton, and the semaphore is raised to the
danger position. At the some time a
red light is shown on the dispatcher's
board, showing him that the signal is
up. Telephones connect each soma hore
post with the dispatcher's office.

Maximum Rate Statute.

peculiar and unlocked for result
has developed from the enforcement
of the maximum rate law in this state.
1t was passed at the instance of the
Independent oil producers Of the state
with the view of relieving them from
alleged discrimination in favor Of the
Standard Oil company. It now ap-
pears that the practical working of
the law thus far has been to benefit the
obnoxious concern to q far greater ex-
tent than the independent oil pro-
ducers- Auditors OF the Kansas roads
received instructions to prepare fig
ures for presentation to the next ses-
sion Of the legislature in support Of an
application for the repeal of the new
law.
These figures in the case of one
road for the period from February p
to August IS. 1905. show that the

would have yielded S37,25O.61. showing
a loss in revenue to the road of S24,-

OF the entire business handled by
February p. 1905, only S175.35 in

Lo, The Poor Farmer!

Every year, about this time the greater business world looks anXiously to the farmer, and the foremost question is: How will the crops turn out? This year the anxiety is more acute than common; because it is felt that affairs are rather overstrained and could ill support the shock of a crop-failure. This annual confession of dependence upon the farmer is exceedingly hum iliating, because the farmer IS the only person whom our sys- tenn leaves to shift for himself Everybody else's prosperity, Ii he has any; is benevolently provided for him by the high powers of politics and finance. It is due, as we are daily remin- ded, to our protective tariff and to our captains of industry, who goodnaturedly build railroads and mills, openmines and develop territories in order that labor may fiud employment. These excellent-in their own phrase give" work to the entire indus taial population.
 But the poor farmer. He has practically nothing for a high tariff to protect. His only inn portant function under that ben efficient scheme is to pay high tariff prices for his clothes and furniture. And the utmost the captains of industry can do for him with the kindest intentions in the world is to charge him such freight rates as the traffic Will pear ana cfach up lne rest of his coal, sugar and tobacco. They cannot consolidate him, or finance him, or issue him in highly watered stock, or give him work. It is, therefore, humiliating for the rest of us, who prosper by the bounty of a system which, on the whole, threatens the farmor pretty shabbily, to have to stand around every summer and anXiously in ouire what the farmer is going to do for us.-Saturday Evening Post.
