FOR A FARMERS CLUB.
Chicagoan's Idea to Encourage Breed
ing of Fancy Stock.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Artlur Meeker and
a number of other prominent Chicago
men, inspired with an idea born of the
international stock show, which opened
Saturday at the Union stock yards, have
started a movement for the organiza-
ton here of what will be called the
Farmers Club of Chicago Within a
week it was said yesterday, the Farms
ers'' will set together and effect per-
manent organization.
The club is to be formed along the
lines of the New York Farmers club,
composed of the Vanderbilts and a
number of other wealthy men. Ths
idea is to encourage the breeding of
fancy grades of cattle on the fine coun-
try places that surround Chicago.
With the best stock show in the
world being held each year in this
city, the promoters of the new club
feel that the opportunity to form an
organization that will have a stimulat-
ing effect on stock breeding in this
state is knocking at their DOORS

WILL ECONOMIzE GAS.
Kansas Natural Gas Company to Cut
Of Large Consumers.

Galena, Kan, June 22.-Following
a conference between the directors of
Pennsylvania, the Kansas Natural Gas
company has issued orders to the eff
feet that after December Is no more
gas will be furnished mining compan-
les in the Missouri-Kansas district for
use under boilers.
The order will affect 225 mining
companies. or about 40 per cent of
the companies operating in the dis
trict. who have found natural gas the
cheapest and most convenient fuel.
AS a result of the company's decision
these companies must return to the
use of coal or install gas engines. 1t
is denied that the action is based on
a failing gas supply, but because of in
adequate piping facilities from the
gas fields of Montgomery, the COM
pany wishes to avoid troubles exper-
fenced heretofore in supplying domes-
tic consumers.
Natural gas has been furnished to
the mining companies since May,
1905, through sixteen-inch high
pressure line, but the demands upon
this line in winter months has been
such that more or less suffering was
caused to domestic consumers.
