ing other people 3 cents a mile for the
same service.
This Discrimination attack is
new turn in the fight for 2-cent fare,
and lawyers will watch it with interest.
The probability is that II will really
resolve itself into question of wheth-
er a cent fare is confiscatory, and it
may have the effect of knocking out
the 2-cent mileage books which the
state now has The fact that the rail-
roads seem to be inclined to accept the
2-cent a mile law in Nebraska indicates
that they will make no fight in Kansas
1t will impress the average citizen
as queer. however, that the state can
pass law compelling railroad to re-
duce its fare to cents on certai in
kinds of transportation, and then fol-
low it up by prosecuting the road for
obeying the first law and thereby dis
eliminating in favor OF the classes
specified in the first law.

NO PRETTY GIRLS THERE
So h. y. G. Encampment Will Go to
Fort Riley.

The meeting of the Kansas National
Guard military board being held here
today will select a place for the annual
encampment of the guard, and it is gen.
orally conceded that it will be held at
FIT Riley.
In the past it has been customary to
hold the encampment at various towns
throughout the state which would offer
suitable inducements in the way of free
camp grounds, good water, wood, straw
etc. But the sentiment of the board
this year is to go to Fl. Riley, where
there are well watered camp grounds,
government target ranges, and ample
drill grounds.
When we go to some town for our
encampment,' said one of the members
of the board this morning. the event
partakeS of the nature of a lark, instead
OF a serious study. With town close
at hand. pretty girls around to fiirt with
and many things to distract the atten-
ton of the soldiers. il is hard to get
down to serious work without enforcing
a most rigid discipline. Up at Fit. Riley
we will be some distance from the town.
and won't be bothered much by visitors.
We can make the eneampment of more
value there than any place else"
This news will make sad the hearts of
the Wellington people. Wellington was
selected as the place for the encamp-
rnent two years ago and then it was
discovered that the state didn't have
enough money to pay the bill. and the
encampDent was abandoned There
will be no uaneuvers of the regulars at
F't Riley this year, and the National
Guard will be left largely to its own
resources.

time for the encampment and make ar
