SAYS THE CARS LEAK.
E. b. Smiley Complains About the
Missouri Pacific.

E. B. Smiley, secretary of the Kan
sas Grain Dealers association, today
filed with the state railroad commits
sion a complaint against the Missouri
Pacific railway, charging that that
railway company fails 10 provide
proper "cooperage" for its grain cars;
in other words that the grain doors
and other appliance for grain cars are
not in place. or are defective.
He further alleges that the Missouri
Pacific does not allow the shipper to
make any repairs in the defective cars
and charge it up to the railroad COM
pany. Such used to be the practice,
but under a ruling of the interstate
commerce commission, II IS no longer
permitted unless the company pub
fishes such an offer in its tariffs. and
makes it applicable to any shipper
The Missouri Pacific does not do this,
and hence its defective grain cars are
useless to the grain shippers of the
state.
Mr.. Smiley wants the state railroad
commission to investigate the matter,
and require the Missouri Pacific to
furnish proper cars.

HIS FIRST TRICK.
Bryan's Mule Does a Turn With a
Newspaper Correspondent.

Fairview, Lincoln. Neb., Aug. 90
The advent of the trick mule which
was presented to w. J. Bryan by the
Minnesota State Agricultural society
was made memorable because Of an
incident which occurred during the
afternoon in which the mule and
an eastern newspaper correspondent
were the central figures. When an
nouncement was first made of the fact
that an animal had been presented,
the particular correspondent served
notice that he would be the first to
ride him. Yesterday the opportunity
came with the result that the corre-
spondent is nursing sore head and
a badly bruised leg, caused by being
hurled into the air by the mule. which
had been trained to permit no one to
ride him. Mr.. Bryan witnessed the
proceedings and exhibited good deal
of solicitude for the injured newspa-
per man The mule was taken back
into the stable and there is every like
lihood that he will not be permitted
to display any more of his talent.
