The BUCKET SHOPS.
A Correspondent Claims Their Neces-
sity to Prosperity.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
In clipping taken from one of our
local papers is an article urging legis-
lation against bucket shops
1 In the first place, what is a bucket
shop? At first thought it would seem
to be place where buckets are
bought and sold Mr.. Merrill defines
Is place where business is done
without a visible base. I think it
would be more proper to call it a wind
shop.
1t would be easier for Mr.. Merrill to
deal with that kind of a shop, because
if grain broker and exchange office
is meant, then there is no need for
legislation; because there is no such
shop in Kansas. There is not
brokers' office now in the state that
will not deliver the article or COM
modify bought on the day of delivery;
If you doubt this buy some wheat and
see if it will not be delivered to you.
The advantage of grain option and
the benefits derived can not be ques-
toned. 1 once heard Phil Armour
say: eff he bought 10000 bushels of
grain that morning, he would sell same
amount before the session closed to
protect his purchase"
Is there one man in this sunny and
prosperous Kansas who says the farm

men could not sell the future to pro-
tect their present holding?

HEIR TO VAST ESTATE.
Wichita Woman Expects to Get a Por-

Wichita. Kan, Jan. 26.-Wichita
has one of the heirs of the late Sir
Francis Drake, as a resident. She is
Mrs. Mary Davis, who resides at 155
North Emporia avenue. Her father,
William Matthews, is a farmer living
near Bonneville, Indiana. Sir Francis
Drake was a great uncle of Mr.. Mat
thews' grandfather. Mr.. Matthews has
always said that he would fall heir to
the estate of Sir Francis Drake. A
lawyer was sent to England and 1T is
said he proved Mr.. Matthews to be an
heir to the estate which is valued at
100000. This sum is the result
of an investment made by Drake when
he returned to England, after con-
fiscating Spanish ships.
Mr.. Matthews has five sons and one
daughter. Mrs. Davis is a widow and
makes her living by dressmaking. Mrs.
Davis says that when she receives her
part of the estate she is going to travel
and enjoy life. 1t is not known how
many heirs there are but she is as
sured that her part of the estate will
be enough to keep her in luxury all
her life. Mrs. Davis has lived for ten
years in this city. Mrs. A. J. Patter-
son of Elizabethtown. KY, is another
of the heirs. Sir Francis Drake was
an English explorer and said to be the

German grain handlers are rejoicing

at Washington against the inferior qualty
of American hard winter No. wheat. The
department of agriculture has just notl-
fled the Hamburg board of trade as 1o1-
lows:
% Reports of experts are now in course

by them are that complaints from Euro

large measure are justified
1T appears the department sent three
experts 10 Europe as a result of German
complaints which were chiefly to the eff
feet that red winter wheat was fraud
ulently mixed with hard No. ,. The Ger
man trade naturally is gratified that its
position officially is indicated at Wash

that the experts report will be placed be-
fore the special congressional committee.

vogue in Canada Only remedial action

Chicago. Jan 26-The city council, by
vote of 81 to 1, has passed a resolution
establishing a standing committee on local
Industries, to consider all switch track
ordinances.

tees and extends the term of switch track
ordinances from ten to twenty years,
making them revocable at the will of the
council and the mayor.
