THE CREMERIES WIN.
Judge Kohlsaat Restraints Roads From
Raising Cream Rates.

Chicago, Aug. 30.-Judge Kohlsaat
Of the United States circuit court has
issued a temporary injunction against
fourteen western railroads and five ex-
press companies restraining them from
establishing on September 1 a new
rate on shipments of cream, milk and
butter. The complainants are cream
cry companies of the middle west, who
charged that the railway and express
companies had combined to fix an
excessive rate that would drive the
creameries out of business
The creamery people. through their
attorney, T. F. Doran of Topeka, made
a remarkable showing. They charged
that all the railroad and express COM
panies west of Chicago had agreed
to the increase in the rates, which
constituted a violation of the anti
trust laws; that the railroad repre-
sentatives before the Kansas commits
sioners had admitted that the raise
would put the big creameries out OF
business and that therefore the action
was in restraint of trade as the roads
are not the proper judges of whether
any system is right or wrong
1t is unusual for the federal courts
to grant injunctions of this nature, but
the showing made was so strong that
Judge Kohlsaat granted one and made
1t apply to both state and interstate
shipments.

The section of the road referred to

The line is single track and tortuous,

MERCURY STILL CLIMBING.
Not a Cloud in Sight and No Relief
Promised.

The mercury which has been several
degrees too high for comfort for the
past week or ten days in all parts Of
the state and particularly in this city
threatens to continue its upward flight.
1t lacks a degree or so of registering as
high at two o'clock today as 1t did yes
terday at the same hour but there is lit
tie satisfaction to be gained from the
difference. There has been a scarcity OF
clouds in the sky today and the sun has
had a fair sweep at the earth which is
already overheated. There is a fifteen
mile an hour wind blowing from the
south and that helps some in this par
ticular locality.
The maximum reached in a number
of places in the state yesterday was
100 and it is more than likely that the
same figures will prevail in eastern
and central Kansas If not in the ex-
treme western portion. There is not a
rain cloud in sight as far as the
weather department is able to see, and
the employees in that department are
tired of this weather and looking for
sign of relief. The following table

Work and Worry.

Work does not kill. Work is medicine

thousand ills Worry kills. Dissipation
kills. Worry is largely a matter of
nerves or indigestion or liver, or 1T
may be a quality of temperament or
it may spring from envy or some other
hateful habit of thought. In most
cases worry is concerning things pure
" maginary-things that cannot be

worry habit is work, hard work OF
body and mind Work requires concen-
tration of effort and mind That makes
one forget his troubles. Work may be

Most children suffer from constipation

never take violent cafhartic tablets or powders,

things because they are too weak to stand it.

THE FREEZING PROCESS.
Why IL 10 That Ice at Times WEI
Crack or Burst.

SFaCN OF 0uTSt.
Ice never bursts from freezing. As
soon as the liquid of which it is COM
posed is frozen solid expansion ceases.
The cracking or bursting OF ice Is
brought about in this way: When wa
ter is subjected to extreme cold ice
crystals will gradually form on its sur
face until the same are covered with q
thin coat of what appears to be wet
snow. From this outer coating Of ice
crystals all subsequent freezing goes
downward, the ice thickening accord
ing to the degree of cold. The water
which is being converted into ice now
begins to expand, creating a pressure
upon the unfrozen water below. This
pressure is both downward and out
ward. and in case the water under OBJ
servation is in a vessel the sides and
bottom of the receptacle supply the re-
sistance.
AS the freezing process continues the
pressure upon the confined water and
air in the interior Of the bulk increases
until something yields. If the vessel
be stronger than the ice stratum that
has formed over the surface the layer
of ice will be bent upward at the GEN.
ter, that being the weakest point, on
account of the fact that the outer
edges of the CONCEALED mass are frozen
fast to the sides of the vessel in which
the experiment is being made. In this
condition the center of the ice contin-
ues to rise or bulge until IL bursts
from the resistance of the water below.
Could the vessel be tapped from below
and the water drawn off no amount of
freezing would be sufficient to crack
or bulge the ice layer on the surface.

Evansville. Ind, July 27.-Deputy
Assessor George E. Clarke and Asses
sor Henry Dreit are conducting cru
SADIE with a view TO making the Stan
dard Oil Company here pay taxes
which Mr. Clarke says it has evaded-
Meanwhile the Standard is coming
back at Clarke and the fight promises
to be warm.
Clarke says that on May 10. 1907,
the oil company put in a sworn Sched-
ule of SAB, 209 despite the fact that
the assessment in 1906 was $50, 200.
Township Assessor Riggs raised the
assessment to 100000 and passed it to
the Board of Review. The company
then put in a sworn schedule placing
the value of it's personal property at
SCI, 01S.52. The board parleyed over
the matter and finally fixed the ass
essment at $4,000.
Deputy Clarke has been offered the
assistance of many bookkeepers and
attorneys here who want to see John
ID. pay his just share Of taxes. In an
appeal filed with the county auditor
Clarke accuses the company of avoid
ing the payment of $4,000 in taxes.
The investigation of records is being
conducted at the Vanderburg County
court house.
