One of the planks adopted by the Re
publican county convention in Barton
county a few days ago was the follow
ing:
I'VE demand a reduction in freight
rates on grain, live stock and other COM
modities to our markets, and on manu-
featured products to US. Barton coun-
ty, the largest producer OF wheat IN
Kansas. IS vitality interested in the
freight rate on wheat to Kansas City
and other markets, and we call especial
attention to the fact that we are today
paying q rate of IS cents per hundred
on wheat to Kansas City, the same rate
we have paid for 50 years. during which
time the railroads have doubled the
carrying capacity of their cars. and dou-
bled the capacity of their motive power,
and are now charging US the same rate
on our production or over million
bushels per annum that they charged us
when we raised but a few thousand
bushels, and the Republicans of Barton
county in convention assembled, de-
mand g reduction OF this rate to at
least 10 cents per hundred, which redue-
ton for 1906 alone would bring about
a saving to our people of $4,000 on our
wheat alone-or add almost 4 cents per
bushel to every bushel we nave to SELL
and we pledge the nominee of this con-
vention for representative to work for
this reduction and proportionate re-
duction to all other commodities.
The resolution is a strong one, but the
question 3I15EGs ffIdl mas TIE represent
tative from Barton or any other county
to do with reduction in freight rates2
Not thing IN the world.
The Barton county Republicans, in
common with many others. have got off
the trail It is the boast Of the Repub-
ncan party in Kansas that the last leg
islature passed an exceptionally good
railroad law. and the boast is permits
sible. That law gives the state rail-
road commissioners power to lower
rates on all railroads within the state.
which includes wheat rates from Bar
ton county to Kansas City, Kan. The
only thing now necessary IS a railroad
board and other state officials who will
give the people justice and be inde-
pendent OF the railroads. The legisla-
ture has nothing further to do with It.
The present railway commission was
asked to make a reduction IN grain
rates. and, under strong pressure, It or
dered a pitifuI reduction of 5 per cent.
Barton county is asking reduction Of
40 per cent in its Republican resolutions.

mously on the side OF the people. viii

An official Of the United s@S1es fish
commission, in speaking Of oddities
which may be observed in the habits of
scaled waterdwellers. recently said:
"Of course no one now believes the
old story of the porcupine being able to
shoot his quilts, and few would believe
it if told that there are some fish that
obtain large portion of their food by
shooting it, but this last IS the truth.
Ones of these is the toxote. a fish in the
rivers of Malaysia. He is known as the
archer. or spitting-fish. Although
aquatic, the toxote has a taste for wing
ed insects. When it sees an insect upon
an overhanging branch it approaches as
near as may be fills its mouth with
water, and then, closing its gills, raises
its snout above the surface and shoots
a long thread Of water at the insect. The
toxote rarely misses It's aim, and the
game is washed off the leaf and into
the river
I'm Java many people preserve the
toxote in aquariums, obtaining consid-
cradle amusement from watching It
shoot at the flies that come within range
Another of the shooting fish Is the
chelinous, which uses a Jet Of salt wa
ter. but which is far less expert than
the toxote. .-Harper's Weekly.
