PLEA FOR KANSAS FLOUR.
Judge Ashbaugh's Argument In the
California Case.

S. S. Ashbaugh, attorney for the state
board of railroad commissioners, has
prepared a brief in the Kansas-Califor-
MIA wheat and flour case. in which he
claims that the railroads are using
their rate making power for the sole
purpose of equalizing wage conditions
in California and Kansas.
There is at present a differential Of
10 cents in favor of wheat between
Kansas points and California points.
The California millers take advantage
of this 10 cent differentiaI to ship
wheat to California and mill it there,
thus enabling them to undersen Kan
sas millers in the California territory.
The Howard Milling company of
Wichita brought suit against the Mis-
souri, Pacific, Santa Fe, Rock Island,
C., B. & O., D. & R. G., Southern Pa
cffic and Union Pacific before the in
terstate commerce commission to com
pei these roads to abolish the 10 cent
differential, and thus enable Kansas
millers to compete in the California
markets Judge Ashbaugh took testi-
mony in this case both in Kansas and
in Oregon before the interstate COM
merce commission. and he says in his
brief:
all centering around one point and that
is, is it legal and proper for the rail-
road companies to establish different
rates on wheat and flour between Kan
sas and California points in order to
adjust a possible difference in the
prices of labor. The great grain ship
ping railroads Of the north and north
west refuse to maintain any difference
in this regard It seems somewhat
strange that Kansas territory IS the
only one Disseminated against by any
carrier railroad Whether the present
difference in price of labor between
Kansas and California IS permanent or
not we do not know. but according to
the theory of the defense If the cost
of labor in either of these territories

SAW LONG SERVICE
P. MiI|spaugh Sent to aGHospitaI
by Kenosha County Soldiers
Relief Commission
AN ANDERSONVILLE PRISONER

Peter Millsbaugh, veteran of the
Civil war who has been living in
Kenosha for the past ten months and
who has been very i'll for the past few
weeks, was sent to the Alexian
Brothers hospital In Chicago on
Thursday. Millsbaugh has distin-
guished record as soldier and when
DR.. ]. B. Spalding, who was attend
ing him, discovered the story of his
life he laid the case before G. F.
Stemm, A. j. Burg and A. E. Buck
master, the members of the Soldiers
Relief Commission, and they at once
furnished funds to send the old man
to the hospital in Chicago where he
will have the best of care and treat
ment. Mi1lsbaugh is suffering from
an illness which resulted from in
juries received at the battle Of Gettys-
burg and while it is feared that he
can never be cured it is thought that
his life can be saved for several years
at least by proper treatment.
Millsbaugh probably saw more hard
service than any veteran of the war
in Kenosha. He enlisted in Company
D of the 37th Illinois Infantry shortly
after the war broke out and was one
of the first men to be captured by the
Confederates and sent to the famous
Andersonvil1e Stockade. The escape
of Millsbaugh from the stockade is
one of the most sensational features
of the history of the war.
With party Of some thirty Union
prisoners MillsbaugL aided in Dig
ging tunnel more than three quar-
tiers of a mile in length, by which the
men managed to pass the walls of the
famous stockade and escape. Nearly
all of the men were ptured by the
Rebel soldiers, but Millsbaugh cot
away and managed to make his way
to Chicago. Here he learned that two
of his brothers had been killed in the
war, and he at once re-enlisted and
started for the South. He was again
captured by the Confederates and was
on his way to Andersonville when he
escaped from guard of six cavalry
men by leaping from bridge into a
river. The men at once secured
blood hounds to trail him, but Mills
baugh bit off the end of one of his fin
gers and with the blood that came
from the wound he outlined a trail
into the river, and the men supposing
| that he had drowned abandoned the
chase, and he again escaped. He re-
enlisted for the second time and
served to the end of the war. Mills
baugh has a fund of interesting
stories of the famous prison pen of
the South.
