ALLOWANCE ON CODE

The state commission in charge of
publishing the revised statutes has al
lowed the new contractors an additional
$3.50, on account of a change in the
plans. The plates will be electrotyped
instead Of stereotyped, for the reason
that the contractors are not in a posi-
ton to get stereotyping DONE The
change will be of benefit, however, as
the plates will be in better condition
after running off the 5000 copies. The
total cost Of the edition to the state
will now be 1880.

MONEY FROM ORE
State Funds Get Large Sums for Sea-
sen of 1905.

Iron ore royalties collected by the
state during 1905 amounted to $l45, 400,
practically double the receipts from
that source in 1904, which were $40, OOO
The years business was much the 1arg-
est the state has had, but 1906 is ex-
pected to surpass the record, as some
other valuable properties have been
stripped and will be operated this sea-
son.
In addition to the royalty for ore
actually taken out, the state received
during the year Sc, 100 in minimum
royalties on leases that were not
worked.

GREAT WESTERN
WORRIES CHICAGO.
KANSAS CITY MAY TAKE AWAY
HEAVY TRADE.
Road Makes No Answer to Charges
Made by Chicago Commercial Asso-
citation to the Effect that Road Has
offered Kansas City Dry Goods Mer-
chants Reduced Rates.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Chicago CONNER
cial association members and railway
men are puzzled over the attitude Of
the Chicago Great Western railway in
regard to the charges made against its
officers by the Commercial association.
A meeting Of railway men and mem
bers of the Commercial association with
the officers of the Great Western was
scheduled yesterday at the rooms of the
Western Trunk line committee, but the
Great Western did not appear and the
meeting was adjourned to later date.
It is asserted by the Chicago bust
ness men that the city's trade is en-
dangered by the reduced rates on dry
goods offered to Kansas City mer-
chants by the Great Western. The
Wabash was also involved in the
charges at first, but seems to have
cleared itself successfully.
The Specific Accusation.
Specifically, the road is accused of
making a rate of 80 cents hundred
pounds on dry goods Of the first class
and 221a cents on goods of the second
class from the Mississippi river to Kan
sas City, which would make the rate
on frst-class goods from the east to
Kansas City $1.26 a hundred, while
Chicago merchants pay $l.55. Accord
Commercial association, the accused
road was endeavoring to complete a con
tract with several of the merchants of
Kansas City to deliver goods on the
tariff for FIVE years. It said that the
contracts had progressed so far that the
merchants had signed them. and to COM.
plete the agreement only the signatures
of the officers Of the road were needed.
Immediately upon the receipt Of this
s~,r 4lo
mercial association steps were taken to
prevent the completion of the contracts.
A letter of inquiry was also sent to ST..
Paul the headquarters of the road. Sat-
urday delegate for the association fol
lowed the letter and had long con-.
ference with the freight officials. The
result was statement by the Great
gate these charges. No denial or.
confirmation Of the report could be OBJ
tanned. q 49,
A Staggering Blow.
Chicago merchants and railway men
who have been connected with the affair
say that if any action has been taken
by the Great Western it will mean a
| staggering blow to Chicago CONNER
| cial interests. Representatives Of the
| freight department. of most of the west
ern roads are Of theFopinian that the
| report is correct. IL. e. Harlow OF the
| Commercial association said yesterday:
"Chicago dry goods merchants direct
lye and other business men indirectly,
would lose many thousands by such an
arrangement. AS things now stand,
rates to the two points are equalized
and neither city suffers; but if Kan
sas City could sell the same goods as
/ the Chicago merchants att much re-
duced figure, all the trade west Of the
river would at once go to them. = .

SPREAD FEAR OF WHITE RACE.
Crafty Arab Leaders Worked on ID
norance of Followers.

There is a passage in one of the
ancient Arab histories to the effect
That the white people come from the
other side of the sea-" This statement
has become so distorted among GER
tain tribes of natives of the Sudan
that they believe that the white men
cone from the bottom of the sea. A
willy Arab leader once informed his
followers that they had nothing to
fear from the white men, as they
could not live away from the water.
The fact that high official took his
bath daily was further considered con-
flrmatory evidence of the submarine
origin of the white man. The Arabs,
in order to retain their influence over
the natives, spread broadcast the re-
port that the white men were canni-
balls. The fact that they did not eat
black men was explained as due to
their devilish cunning. They wanted
to make themselves strong IN the
country before beginning their horrid
practices, but as they could not alto
gether do without this kind Of food
they brought human flesh with them
in cans. In west Africa French ex-
petition had the unfortunate expert
ence of finding a portion of human
finger-cut off, no doubt, by some ac-
cident-in a can of meat. Here was
fresh and conclusive confirmation OF
the story, in which the people had al
most ceased to believe, and 1t was
only after a considerable lapse of time
that the idea was at length eradicated.

HORN WAS PLAINLY APPARENT.
Chicagoan Had Not Been Close
Enough to Perceive IL.

He was an automobiist Of genial
nature, and he had been !unching
rather freely. He came down Broad
way In a green touring car and dash
ed up to the Aston Hotel entrance at
sweeping pace. His car came to a
stop there with sudden jerk, six
inches from a corpulent member Of
the Chicago delegation to a recent
conference, who was crossing the
street to the hotel. A snort Of the
green cars horn marked the approach
to the Chicagoan and the sudden stop.
The rotund delegate spun around
with jump and looked as though he
were threatened with apoplexy.
what the dickens do you mean,
sir, by nearly running me DOWN." he
demanded furiously.
Mean? Mean?" cried the automo-
bilist, coming up to the other, while
dozen delegates looked on. What
do you mean yourself by asking me
impertinent questions, sir? Haven't
you got ears-didnt you hear my
horn?"
A distinct suggestion Of the wine
cup floated on the air as the chauffeur
approached and 1t was plain that
lunch had been of generous nature.
The Chicagoan smiled.

your horn, but I smell 1t now."-New

Sailing Ninety Miles an Hour.

Sailing on land is a new diversion,
experimental with at different times
in the past, that has suddenly burst
into prominence, says ',e Technical
World Magazine. No other summer
amusement conveyance of mans in
vention can make anything like the
speed of the land sailing vessel. 1t
skins over the ground with the actual
speed of the wind. It's only rival in
amusement conveyances of winter or
summer is the iceboat; but the land
sailing vessel furnishes much greater
enjoyment than the iceboat, for It's
path is not limited by the narrow con-
fines of an ice pond, and, moreover,
1t is a summer vehicle, made to sail
in the season when rapid open-air
travelling is really enjoyable. So fast
will the Ian boat move If permitted
to go at its full speed during a strong
wind that it's occupants would find 1t
impossible to retain their seats.
Hence it's speed has to be checked and
regulated by the manipulation OF
brakes and sails. From fifty to ninety
miles an hour, however, has often
been attained with safety when the
precaution was taken of seeing that
the passengers were well secured in
their seats.

has most pronounced ideas of right
and wrong, and rather exaggerated
sense of justice. Nearly thirty years
ago she bought a piece of property
from her brother in st. Louis.
I'm a dozen years the property had
ouadrupled in value. To-day it is worth
ten or fifteen times what she paid for
It. AS the value advanced her worry
increased. Finally she mailed him
check for $4,000, explaining that she
felt that she had not paid him what
the property was really worth.
"He promptly returned it, saying
she had paid him all he asked for it,
and all it was worth at the time of the
sale. But she wouldn't take no for an
answer. and sent it back to him.
Now, don't you know" laughed
Jones, "that check has been passing
back and forth through the mails be-
tween our families for the past fifteen
years."
