NO MORE LOW RATES.
Railroads of West Will Abolish All
Reduced Rates After January, 1910.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-Western roads,
through the Western Passenger asso-
citation, have served notice on the Chi
cago Association of Commerce and the
commercial associations of other large
cities that no more reduced rates will
be granted for merchants meetings
The notice, sent out by Chairman Mac
Lead informed the association that the
railroads of the west and presumably
those in the east had decided to abolish
all reduced rates beginning January 1,
1910.
The only possible exceptions to the
new rule may be the rates which are
granted for colonists, homeseekers and
summer tourists. All reduced rates for
merchants meetings, state fairs, con-
ventions and gatherings of all kinds are
to be discontinued. Such is the decision
of the executive committee arrived at
through orders direct from the execu-
tive officers of the various roads. This
action was taken owing to the situa-
ton with respect to passenger rates in
the west The railroad officials believe
that they are not warranted in making
reduced rates for any occasion mas
much as the state legislatures which
passed two-cent passenger laws told
the railroads to stick to two cents as a
minimum rate and they would make
money.

BOYS CORN CONTEST.
Will Be Held This Year on December
18th.

The fourth annual corn contest for
boys in Shawnee county will be held
in the city court room at the court
house on Saturday, Dec. 18th.
F. A. Kiene, jr., secretary of the
contest, makes the following an
nouncement: Every boy in the coun-
ty is urged to enter sample of ten
ears even though they may not be as
good as he had hoped to show. The
management is trying in every way
possible to make the contest bigger
and better than ever before and will
need an exhibit from every boy. An
excellent program will be given and
at least thirty-five boys will be sent
to the state institute at Manhattan.
THE committee is making radical
departure in the matter of soliciting
funds giving business men and the
Commercial club of Topeka a much
deserved rest and calling on the far

lections are being made by the six
oranges of the county and by an in
terested person in each school dis

mitteemen. Every farmer in the
county who can afford to part with
six dollars which is the amount need
ed to send a boy to Manhattan is
urged to contribute that amount and

AFRAID OF UNCLE SAM.
This Is Said to Have Caused Rock
Island-F'risco Divorce.

New York. Dec. ALI accounts
agree that the dissolution was
brought about by fear of federal in
tervention. The Rock Island and
other at various points and there is
reason to believe the Interstate Com
merce commission have taken cogniz-
ance of that fact.
Another interesting phase of the
transaction is that. despite denials the
current belief is that the Frisco will
form some alliance with the lines of
Edwin Hawley. the new conner in the
railroad world who recently acquired
with B. F. Yoakum. control of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway. At
the same time the returns of the now
divorced Frisco and Rock Island are
to be friendly and for the benefit of
both.
According to both official and I'M
official statements the interests now
in control of the St Louis & San
Francisco will operate that road as an
Independent property, although the
actual transfer can not be effected I'M

price is 102 y and large quantities of
the bonds have recently been traded
in into stock exchange at a steady
advance from 93 to 1O1 Il, the latter
or top price reached today. for
NAL offer of redemption probably will
be made at once.
The st. Louis & San Francisco was
organized in 1896 as the successor of
the railroad company of that name
which had been sold in foreclosure.
When taken over by the Rock Island
company control of the property
rested with B. F. Yoakum and his
friends and Mr.. Yoakum was made
chairman of the Rock Island board.
Credence is given the rumors of a
Yoakum Hawley alliance in more
ways than one. Besides the katy"

1.-THE program and definite an
nouncements for the day will appear
later. Every one who would like to
see the contest a success and some
thing permanent builded for the fu-
ture are earnestly requested to give
of their time, money and attention
for a few days this fall. A movement
is on foot to enlarge the work of the
county institute and much will de-
pend upon the interest shown in the
contest this month"

interests in common. Mr. Hawley,
comparatively new figure of
prominence in the railroad world is
credited with the control of the
Chesapeake & Ohio, Chicago & Alton,
Minneapolis & ST. Louis. Iowa Central
and the Toledo. ST. Louis & Western;
while he is interested in Hooking

what the Frisco did not earn. Both
roads therefore look for improvement
under the new arrangement.

DIFFERENT VOICES.

1t is an interesting thing to note that
the people of different races have voices
keyed in an entirely different pitch from
one another.
While the Germans. are the softest
spoken people al a race, the Tartars
possess more powerful. vocal organs
than any other people.
1t is a peculiar thing that different
nations nave differences in accent so
marked that the speech of other ma
tionalities Is difficult of understanding
to them.
The American accent is quicker and
In a higher key than that of the Eng
fish, and, though speaking the same
tongue, the Englishman experiences
real difficulty in understanding his
American cousin, while the American
ear, accustomed to the quicker speech,
finds the English draw almost irritat-
ing at times.
Similarly a Frenchman speaks Ger
man with an impetuosity and pitch dis
agreeable to Teutonic ears and finds the
cultural speech as difficult to under
stand as is his nasal quality to the
German.
1t is not always the loudest voice
that is the most penetrating. and while
the German has the lowest voice of all
the civilized races he is able to make
himself heard where a Frenchman's
voice could not reach.
