VOICE FROM OLD SOLDIER.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
have refrained from publicly
speaking of the selection of a COM

ensuing year as successor to Com
mander Campbell, and I am only Of
fering this to express my delight with
the candidacy and certain selection of
that exalted and noble comrade Rev.
B. F. Boyle. who as a boy of less than
16 years, inspired with the inherent
fervor of loyalty and patriotism of
his ancestors, rushed dashingly for
ward to the military service of his ma
tive state of Pennsylvania, and en-
listed, and served. until taken out by
his father by legal proceedings, on
account of his youth, being under
age; but his patriotic ardor would not
permit him to remain at home while
his native country was in peril. So as
soon as he could enter the army to
stay. without his parents consent, he

sought an education of high order
and through the most laborious in
dustry and strenuous economy, he
worked his way through college and
was ordained a minister OF the gospel,
of the Presbyterian church. In the
faithful performance of his clerical
duties he gained the respect and love
of all who listened to his Christian
elouuence and received his blessings.

Its Land and Out of Debt,

Home City, Kan, May Sin its
earlier days this town was known as
Home" 1t was in 1888 when G. W.
VanCamp suggested adding the word
city, and from that time to the pres
ent it has been known as Home City.
1t is thriving little town, in Marshall
county, on the line of the ST. Joe &,
Grand Island road, and the railroad
officials claim more grain and hogs are
shipped from this station than any
other on their system.
Five years ago nearly the entire
business was swept away by fire, about
% buildings in all were destroyed. Since
then the town has almost been re-
built with new fire proof business
houses.
Home City has two banks. the State
bank with a capital of $4,000 and de-
posits aggregating about $4,000 and
the Citizens State bank, now only
about a year old with $50. 900 deposits.
There are three general merchandise
stores, two furniture stores, three hard
ware and implement firms, two lum-
her yards, two elevators, drug store,
Jewelry store, hotel and two black
smiths. The town is also the site of
a large Turner hall. The society are
making an energetic effort to promote
gymnastics, and have four classes, one
of which is class of young ladies,
Paul White, a German of good intel
lect, is the teacher.
Mrs. Annie Unger is one of the rural
route carriers. There are about IS
patrons on her route. She is an ex-
pert in her work, and usually returns
from her entire trip about the noon
hour. She is careful and painstaking.
The postoff1ce is in charge of Miss
Maud Thomas. A most competent Of
fetal she is. too
The town has three autos and more
are on the way.
The keynote of the success of Home
City is in the language of one of her
business men: Il would rather have
my bitterest competitor make a sale
than have it gu to some other town. :"
The town is growing. Her business
men are prosperous. 1t has the dis
tinction of claiming the wealthiest
man in Marshall county, ]. B. Wues-
ter, cashier of the State bank He
owns $500 acres of land, all in Mar

acres, and he is out of debt.
1t has been said of Home CITY that
the town has more unique characters
than most towns have with ten times
the population. Many strangers who
come here, as a rule, are impressed
with the many personalities he meets
There are sages, philosophers, philan-
thropists, misers and spendthrifts lust

AN ORIENT PROJECT?
Ottawa Herald Sees Stillwell's Hand
in Trolley Line.


Ottawa Herald Sees Stillwell's Hand
in Trolley Line.
Is the Orient railroad back of the
Rawlings electric line which is to be
built from Coffeyville to Ottawa, via
lola? The Ottawa Herald says: In
terest in the Rawlings project all
along the line from Coffeyville to
Kansas City has developed much
speculation as to who are the back
ers of Mr.. Rawlings, who are said to
road when the franchises are secured
and the surveys made. And in that
speculation the names of the Orient
railroad and A. E. Stillwell are prom
inently mentioned. Inquiry at Kansas
City from Ottawa parties, who wrote
at the suggestion of Mr.. Rawlings, has
brought the reply that Mr.. Rawlings
is associated with parties who are
amply able to build electric railroads
if they want to.
The theory upon which the Orient
is drawn into the talk is that the road
desires a means to compete with the
Santa Fe for the valuable freight
business in eastern and southeastern
Kansas. The Orient proposes to fur
nish an outlet for manufactured pro-
ducts on the Pacific coast, and it is
held to be the ambition of the back
ers of the road to get connection with
the factory district along the eastern
Kansas border. Whether there is more
than this speculative reason back of
the persistent talk that the Orient
is looking with substantial sympathy
upon Mr. Rawlings operations is not
known. Nor does it appear to be de-
fnitely known whether the Orient is
taking any real interest in the matter.

is EFFECTIVE JUNE 1.
The Southeastern Lines Raise
Charges on Fresh Meats.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

Sooner than was expected, action
looking to an increase in freight rates
has been taken. The railways of the
southwestern territory have filed with
the interstate commerce commission
tariffs, effective June 1, increasing ma
terially their freight rates on all fresh
meats shipped into their territory from
the north and west The new rates
will take effect at Ohio River and Mis-
sissippi River crossings. including
Memphis, and will be effective into all
parts of what is known as the Carolina
territory, that is, the section Of the
country east of Asheville, N. c.. and
south of Danville, Va.
The increase will amount to from 8
cents to 10 cents hundred pounds on
all fresh meats. 1t is the first material
raise in the rates on foodstuffs made
by the railroads of the country for
good many years. 1t will mean much
to the consumers as it will probably
cent pound on low grades of meats
and perhaps as much as cents a pound
on the select cuts.
While the increase to the consumer
in the territory affected by the pro-
posed rates is noticeable, it is likely
that 1t is intended as feeler of public
sentiment with a view to making a
general raise in rates on all commod-
tiles. 1t is conceded by tariff experts
of railroads that many of the commod-
ity rates Of American railways now in
force are comparatively low, and it is
regarded by those who have studied
the situation that in view of the in
creased cost Of railway equipment and
labor it may be necessary to increase
some of the freight rates.
That is a matter, however, which the
interstate commerce commission prob
ably will inQuire into carefully to de-
termine whether the rates proposed are
in any sense excessive or unreasonable.
The increase of rates on fresh meats
into the southeastern territory is re-
eral increase on all commodities and
the result of the inquiry into the ques-
ton raised will be awaited with in
tereSt.

building the roundhouse and side
tracks are concerned, completed by
October l in order to turn the same
over to the operating department on
that date. The official also says that
