Pa, contradict ing the testimony of previous wit nesses, who told the commission that it had been the policy of the Pennsyl- vania company to encourage it's em- ployes to become interested in coal companies on the lines of the road.
 Chas. McFadden related the story of his troubles while he was a mine Op- orator in the soft coal fields. His car supply became so meagre that he was compelled to rent cars from the Com mercial Coal company, a concern in which General Superintendent Creigh- ton of the Pennsylvania railroad is in- terested. He was finally compelled to make an arrangement by which the Commercial company operated his mines for One-third of the profits.
 Robert K. Cassatt, son of President Cassatt. denied the statement made 'Ltl udN Dy 1T. Olltl, DIeSiQtill of the Donohoe Coal and Coke com pany, that the Keystone company's op- erations had been favored in the dis tribution of cars He also stated thai the Keystone company was not Gas satt concern"

Lynchburg, Va - Samuel Spencer,
president of the Southern Railway

lision between two fast passenger

Japan,s Empress Popular.

It is doubtful if any royal consort is
more loved by her people than is the
empress of Japan. Educated accord
ing to feudal ideas and skilled in all
the accomplishments BETTING one of
her social eminence, her majesty
strongly favors the broadness of the
new education for women and from
her private purse gives large sums
toward the maintenance of women's
schools and universities. During the
war with Russia the empress visited
the hospitals many times and every
day passed hours making bandages.
The effect of these bandages upon the
wounded soldiers has been of deep in
terest to medical and scientific men,
for the soldiers honored by them
seemed to rally under a peculiar men,
tai influence. All other bandages were
destroyed after their first use; those
made by the empress were sterilized
and used again for the simple reason
of their effect on the recovery of the
soldiers.

The EDITORS WANT PASSES
The Executive Committee of Kansas
Association Adopts Resolutions.
They Wish Rate Changed So They
May Exchange Advertising.
for Transportation.

Topeka. - The executive committee
of the Kansas Editorial association at
its meeting here Tuesday adopted a
resolution asking the Kansas con-
gressmen to father an amendment to
the new railroad regulation law which
will permit newspapers to trade ad-
vertising space for railroad transpor-
tation. The interstate commerce COM
mission in its interpretation OF the
law has decreed that no newspaper
transportation should be Issued by
the railroads.
The committee will Go all in its
power to have a similar provision
made in the Kansas anti-pass law
which they consider is sure TO be
passed by the next legislature. The
editorial association wants to have a
section of the bill provide that the
railroads can trade Transportation for
advertising space.
A special committee was appointed
to look after this matter IN the legis-
lature, and the committee was in
structed to use every legal and moral
means to secure the provision.
The committee is composed of w.
Y. Morgan, Senator H. c. Tucker, Her
bert Heath, Del Keiser and John Nc
Donald.
The executive committee decided to
hold the next annual session of the
association in Topeka January 81 and
%.
There is considerable talk now of
Congress raising rates on second
class mail matter, the class under
which all newspapers are mailed by
the publishers. The executive COM
mittee of the editorial association
adopted a resolution asking that the
Kansas delegation in Congress use its
influence and votes to prevent theat-
ened advance in second class man
rates.

FORMING THE CONSTITUTION.
Regulations, "Jim Crow Cars
and State Supremacy.

Guthrie, Ok. - The actual forma-
ton of a constitution for Oklahoma
was inaugurated Friday afternoon
when propositions were introduced in
the constitutional convention for two
plans, providing respectively for rail
way regulation and separate coaches
for whites and negroes.
The railway regulation bill, intro
duced by Delegate Clint Graham, is
summarized as follows: Railroad, eX-
press, sleeping car and oil pipe line
companies shall be declared common
carriers; to provide for stock inspec
ton, to prevent consolidation and pro-
hibiting free passes.
The Jim Crow resolution was OF
fered by Judge Ledbetter of Ardmore,
l. T. Both propositions were refer
red to the committee on railroads.
A feature of Friday mornings ses
sion was the address of Delegate Led,
better. who opposed the adoption of
a resolution recognizing the federal
constitution as paramount to that Of
the state of Oklahoma. Mr.. Ledbet
ter denounced the press but reiterat-
ed his view that state sovereignty
should be strictly observed.

LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
The Story Of Postum Cereal in Words
and Pictures.

The growth Of the Postum Cereal
Co. is like fairy tale, but 1t is true,
every word Of it.
The Door Unbolted" is the title Of
a charming little booklet just issued
by the Company which tells, and IL
illustrates. the story Of this remark
able growth. 1t takes the reader from
the little white barn in which the
business was started Jan. 1, 1895,
through the palatial offices and great
factory buildings Of the White City"
that comprise Postumville, Battle
Creek, Mich.
The little white barn, so carefully
preserved, is a most interesting build
ing, for it represents the humble be-
ginning of one of the country's great
est manufacturing enterprises of to-
day, an enterprise that has grown
from this little barn to a whole city
Of factory buildings within but little
more than ten years.
No less interesting is the quaint Of
fetal home of the Postum Cereal Co.
The general Office building of Mr.. Post
and his associates is reproduction Of
the Shakespeare house at Stratford-
on-Avon, and upon the house and its
furnishings has been expended vast
sums of money, until the rooms are
more like the drawing rooms Of the
mansions of our multi-millionaires
than like offices.
That Mr. Post has believed thor
oughly in the idea of giving to his
employees attractive and healthful
work rooms is proven not only by the
general office building of the Company
and its furnishings, but by his fac
tories as well, and of all Of these
things this beautiful little booklet tells
the interesting story. 1t will be sent
to anyone on request.
