Of the members Of this legislature to
impose unjust burdens up,n the rail-
roads and should there be any laws
enacted that do that, the roads have
always an appeal 70 the courts for
redress. But this one thing is de-
manded: It lie, / believe, just; and
Kansas will be glad to endorse action
along this line. 1t is not necessary
to discuss this bill at any great
length, the question is, Shall we
give the people a 2 cent rate or uotP
! say cut out the free pass and give
the people 2 cent fare. | am for it
heartily and earnes ly and hope to see
the senate act favorablY upon this
bill.
| feel confident that this legislature
will pass an anti-pass law, and that
with the increased earnings which
will accrue to the railroad companies
from the passage Of that act, and the
one under consideration, there should
be no hesitancy in passing a two-cent
fare bill
1t has been intimated that this
proposition Of mileage book will
benefit the commercial man and the
man who travels most in the state
and satisfy the demand for two-cent
fare, but say to you, fellow senators,
that it will not satisfy the people of
Kansas; they are asking for fiat two
cent fare rate, and not a proposition
for the benefit Of favored few, who
can afford to put up 500 or $50 at
one time for mileage book.
II the railroad companies can afford
to haul the man or men who travel
all the time for two cents per mile,
why cannot they haul the man who
only travels occasionally for the same
priceP Give the people rate that
will not be in the interest Of favored
lew and the wholesale interests Of the
state but treat everybody alike, vote
his amendment down, then pass my
fare bill.
ON THE SUBSTITUTE.
The mileage book substitute came
Up on third reading Thursday. Mr..
Brewer voted for it with this ex-
,lanation:
al made my fight upon the floor Of
he senate for a fiat two-cent pass
niger fare for everybody, but a ma
GRITTY Of this body has thought it
vas wise to amend my bill by making
a two-cent mileage proposition.
t is my judgment that this is only
Ielaying the original measure and
hat the fat two-cent rate is sure to
ONE within the near future. How
yer, l always believe that half loaf
5 better than none, and as l do not
esire to deny my people or the peo-
lie Of the state Of Kansas, the benefits
which they will derive from this two ,
ent mileage proposition, l, there /
ore, vote Aye"
The vote was: So for; against.

conversation in regard to the senator
from Dickinson or his motives was
had in the committee room at all.
There might have been some private

versation in the committee Of this

tionp

Fellow senators, you have heard the
answers made by members Of the
railroad committee, and comment on
the above article seems unnecessary
from me, but might add that read
in the good book somewhere THAT a
liar is an abomination in the sight Of
the Lord and / believe in this day
and generation that all good people
will agree with that sentiment.
! introduced this bill in Difference
to the widespread demand for legisla-
ton, such as this bill provides, in my
district and in my part of the state.
] have listened to the discussions and
the facts presented pro and con before
the railroad committee upon this
measure. l have talked to members
of the railroad committee and some Of
them have said to me; ave do not
know whether this rate is just or NOT;
we have not the facts before us but
we have recommended the bill for
passage" and it is here for our con-
sideration today. l can take my pen
Gil, sit down and figure the amount
of freight charges upon carload of
wheat, eggs, or grain from my home
city to the place Of market; l can es-
innate the expenses, very nearly,
in connection with the movements Of
this car and arrive at figures that will
closely represent the profits upon that
transaction. But the average man
cannot do that with passenger fares.
We see the trains go by loaded with
passengers, in some parts Of the state
crowded, and we conclude that pas
senger fares can be reduced; and q
wide spread impression prevails in
the state that the time has arrived
when passenger fares should be re-
dueed from three cents to two cents.
l notice that many states in various
parts Of the country are passing 2
cent fare billA Iowa, Ohio, Indiana,
West Virginia, Nebraska, Missouri
and Arkansas have recently passed
such measures. II Nebraska can have
a two cent fare why cannot KansasP
We have more people and l believe
that more people ride in Kansas than
In Nebraska and 1t will be hard for
the people Of Kansas 10 understand
why our neighbOring states ride for
two cents and Kansas people pay
three cents per mile. Certainly. We
should be able to keep abreast Of the
progress Of Arkansas.

RIVER OF SALT WATER.
Flows Inland In a Greek Island and
Then Disappears.

Flows Inland In a Greek Island and
Then Disappears.
One Of the most curious phenomena
of geography is found on the southern
coast of the island of Cephalonia, near
Greece. 1t is a stream of salt water
which for an unknown period has left
the almost tideless sea and flowed in
land with considerable volume.
The sea enters the land at four
points where the coast is practically on
level with the salt water surface.
The four initial streams unite to form
the little river that flows inland in a
broken rocky channel until it finally
disappears in the limestone rock and
sinks into the earth.
This inland flow has continued al
most certainly for several centuries.
1t is far too great for removal by evap-
grafton. chemical combination or even
physical absorption by pores or cav
ems in the rocks. What becomes of
the water that is constantly flowing
inland and disappears finally in the
assures that have opened in the lime
stone?
The question has been the subject of
much study. but no conclusive answer
there is an underground channel which
carries the water back into the sea at
no great depth below the surface. The
constant influx of salt water at Cepha-
lonia is duplicated as far as is known
at no other point OF the world.-New
York Sun.

Bluffton used artificial Webb feet
Monday afternoon and defeated the To-
Gals in a swamp game of baseball, score
to o. The going was so fierce at
O'Clock, the time the game was billed
to be called, that Manager Jessup post
poned action until an hour later. The
heavy deluge of moisture put the dia-
mond in a very mushy condition, but
despite this. the small band of faith
full. who would brave an earthquake to
see a ball game, were supplied with a
very creditable exhibition of the ma
tional pastime.
Mr.. Guhl, whom our hitless wonders
spanked at the Friday game, was re-
peated, and to say that he had "r-r-re-
yenge." is drawing it mild. The ball
throughout the game was so damp that
Mr.. Guhl had no difficulty in throwing
the cuspidor curve, sometimes called
the spit curve The spray that splash
ed from Mr.. Guhl's offerings got into
the eyes of our batsmen and as result
only three hits are credited to us.
Ouestion-Wh should not a c. Guhl
have an effective damp delivery?
Was Not Horns Fault.
Horn. with only one days rest. was
sent in against the tail enders. Casey.

sist Of Jessup's to catch Fogle stealing
second. Had the reliable Minzler
made the cut Donovan would not have
had the opportunity Of bringing in Fo-
gle. to whom Horn gave transportation
and LaRue, who made clean single.
These two runs came in the sixth.
The only time Richmond had look
in on the game was in the third. With
one down. Ritter and Jessup each sim
gled. The fans implored Weaver to
pound out another one of his long dis
lance bingles. but the best he could do
was to sky to center. Carlin was also
entreated by the fans to come to the
rescue. but Tommy dashed our hopes
by grounding to third. In conclusion
it can be stated that if the Quakers

pitchers like that Bluffton outfit car

ker outfit at the close of the season
will have to ispect their batting aver
ages with a microscope. Score:

The Basic Pursuit In Most Games Is
to Drive a Ball.


Some day there will arise a patient
inve~ tigator who will work out this
prot IN, Why are most sports but the
variants of one object, the propulsion
of a sphere?
Billiards. baseball. polo. golf. sling
ing, marbles, squash, handball. foot
ball, rackets. cricket. hockey, bagatelle
tennis, shooting, pelota-the basic pur-
suit In each is to drive ball, the pro
pulsion of sphere.
Tipcat, shuttlecock aud top spinning
are the employment of notifications %
the sphere, and archery is but another
method of propulsion.
1t is a strange limitation of form
and there must be n reason. Those who
delve into origins may ascribe the
whole motive oe sports to some long
armed, hirsute ancestor who first
threw pebble at a fellow cave dwell
or and found it great fun.
Or it may be poor mortars attempt
to get in small fashion into the ire
mendous scheme OF the universe
which is the everlasting movement OF
the spheres. Or it may be that sports
are framed in inevitable obedience to
some irresistible law of nature.
At any rate the fact is sports are
based on the propulsion of the sphere
and some one ought to find reason
therefor.-New York American.
