TO HELP ON CONGRESS.
Democrat National Committee Will
Give Aid Where Needed.

Chicago. Aug. 19.-The Democratic
congressional situation was the subject
matter of an extended conference here
between national Chairman Mack
and Congressman James L. Lloyd,
chairman of the Democratic congress
sional committee, after which it be-
came known the Democratic national
committee would not only cooperate
with the campaign committee,
wherever best but would render any
financial aid necessary. The two COM
mittees have worked heretofore har-
moniously as separate organizations.
Congressman Lloyd told Chairman
Mack that the prospects were bright
for the election of a Democratic con-
gress and with proper aid from the
national committee many Democratic
congressional districts formerly re-
garded as safely Republican would be
found this year to be Democratic.
Chairman Mack told Mr.. Lloyd that
the national committee could be de-
pended upon to give any assistance
required.
of New York, who is returning from
visit to Seattle. where he attended a
convention Of the Eagles, called on
Chairman Mack today.

MUCH WHEAT TO MARKET.
The Mills and Elevators of Reno
County Are Busy.

Hutchinson, Aug. 19.-The ele-
vators and mills have handled more
wheat this year in the same length of
time than they ever have in previous
years. This is partly due to the big
crop this year but the truth of the
matter is that after threshing began,
which was about month ago, there
was only about three rains to stop the
machines during all of that time.
There are from fifty to seventy-five
car loads of wheat handled by the
elevators here every day.
About 1900 barrels of flour are
also made each day from this wheat
Somewhere near all of this is shipped
out of the state. There are three
big mills Of large capacity here now
which are in operation and the
largest -four mill west of the Mis-
sissippi river is located here and will
soon be in operation.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Great Western Road Cuts Its
Tariff on Grain.
Competing Lines Alarmed at Al
legged Equalizing Charges.
A RATE WAR EVIDENT
Assumes Big Proportion on Ac-
count of Large Crops.
Other Items of Interest in Rail-
way Circles.

According to Chicago advices one of
the worst grain rate wars in the his
tory of the western railroads is threat
ened by action which has been taken
by the Great Western. Tariffs have
been filed by that road putting into
effect equalized rates from Omaha to
Chicago and from Omaha to st. Paul
on grain coming from a large area
west of the Missouri river. The rates
the Great Western will get on this
grain vary between s and 10 cents, the
normal rates being IL and IL cents.
This action, coming as it does when
the railroads are on the eve of hand
ling one of the largest crops in years.
bids fair to cost them a large loss in
revenue No reason is given by the
Great Western for the action 1t has
taken, which, in the opinion of other
roads, is reactionary and warlike IN
character. Conferences have been held
with reference to the matter, but to no
avail. and the railroads which are in
competition with the Great Western
are at a loss what to do. If they meet
the action of this road rates from all
the western grain fields will become
demoralized. If they are not met the
Great Western will secure a large
added tonnage.
The action of the Great Western is
said to open the door for all kinds OF
manipulation in grain, such manlpuia-
tions as were once possible at the chi
cago market and were practiced hers
to a considerable extent. The inter-
state commerce commission has always
frowned upon this kind of rates and
assisted the Chicago market TO 90
away with them so that grain manlp-
ulation would be an imposs1b1llty. Ihe
equalized rates OF the Great Wesle:
apply to all territory on the missouri
Pacific and Burlington, where the
through rates on grain are less than
the sums of the local rates In ana out
of Omaha. On all such grain tne
Great Western now says 1t VIII TAKE
the haul east for what tnere Is ,er, az
the rate. This makes large NUMBER
of varying proportional rates east OF
Omaha.
These rates enable the men who wish
to manipulate the market accumulate
expense bills and then ship out gram
by the Great Western, irrespective Oh
its point of origin, the carrier not be-
ing able to follow the identity OF the
grain. 1t Is also insisted by the COM
petitors of the Great Western that the
eoualized rates are in direct conhlcl
with the decision of the commission IN
the Missouri river jobbers' case IN
that case the commission lays down
the principle that sthe, through rates
should be less than the sums or the
local rates. In this case the Greal
Western has disturbed the condltion
which the commission has said should
exist and has made the rates in ques-
ton equal to the sums of the local
rates. It is stated that there is grave
danger of grain rates everywhere go
ing down as a result. repetition OF
the usual rate decentralization just as
the grain crop is about to begin to
move is causing the railroads deep
anxiety, and strenuous efforts are be-
ing made to prevent serious results

neighborhood turned out to witness
the strange sight of a woman welding
a whip so handily. Hager made no
outcry only trying to ward off the

THIRTY YEARS SERVICE.
Remarkable Record OF Il. Bradley
Newton RO8dmaSter

Newton ROadmaster.
L. Bradley, roadmaster of the mid
Ole division of the Santa Fe, with
headquarters at Newton. on last Sat
urday rounded out his thirtieth year
OF service with that company Mr.
Bradley connected himself with the
Santa F'e on August 15, 1878, in the
capacity of section foreman at Walton
and he has been continuously on this
division ever since with the exception
of about Is months when he was first
promoted to roadmaster in 1891, when
he was stationed at Mulvane, on the
Panhandle division.
AS track man Mr.. Bradley has few
equals and no superfors. The track
between here and Emporia, particu-
larly, is his special pride and is point
ed to with admiration by all officials
and men versed in maintenance of way
as one of the best pieces of track and
roadway that can be found anywhere
in the country.
Mr.. Bradley is apparently good for
30 years more service-at least he says
he has no intention of laying aside the
cares of his office and take advantage
of the pension system until he is act
ually compelled to.
