Their Than Insurgents In One Way.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 6.-J. r.
Burrow, former secretary of state in
Kansas, whose home is in Smith Cen
ter, is not an insurgent Republican,
but he would go farther than the in
surgents in some respects. He would
elect all the postmasters by popular
vote.
Take patronage away from sena-
tors and representatives. said Mr..
Burrow at the Hotel Baltimore. land
congress would lose half its present
members before another term rolls
around; with patronage removed they
would be compelled to stand on merit
alone.'
kansas is and always has been an
erratic state,'' said Mr.. Burrow in ref
erence to the insurgent victory last
Tuesday. ''You will recall that after
giving Benjamin Harrison $4,000 ma
jority it Topped right around and
went Populist. 1t is the most indie

NO MORE HoBoEs ON SANTA FEE
Trainmen Who Receive Tips Must
Leave Service.

That the Santa Fe has started a
to be allowing hoboes to ride on trains
in return for a small remittance is the
latest source of gossip for Topeka
trainmen. It is said that within the
past few days two or three brakemen
in the west have been given their dis
charge papers and that several others
have reason for quaking in the knees.
1t is rumored that there has been a
considerable amount of tramp traffic
in this locality that could have been
prevented, but that trainmen by being

to bounce them off. This proceeding
is said to have started rigid looking

EXAMINE EXPRESS COMPANIES.
New Petition Brings Out Some Inter.
esting Facts.

New Petition Brings Out Some Inter-
esting Facts.
Arrangement of all the big express
companies of the United States, their
rates and methods of doing business, is
made by 124 organizations of shippers,
merchants and manufacturers in a
brief just filed with the interstate COM
merce commission. The petitioners
ask the commission to make a thor
ough examination of the express COM
panies. The purpose of the petition
ers, as expressed in the brief, is that
the commission Twill, of its own ini-
tiative, institute an investigation of in
terstate express service and of the
companies engaged in the express bust
ness to the end that it may deter
mine and prescribe what will be the
just and reasonable individual and
joint rates and charges and just rea-
sonable individual and joint classical
lions, regulations and practices
1t is charged that the rate for ex-
press service is from two and a half to
four times that for first class freight
service; the railroads receive for
moving 100 pounds in small parcels,
as their share of the express charges,
as high as thirty-seven and a half
times the amount received by them for
moving 100 pounds of first class
freight: the contracts result in causing
the railroads to try to force shippers
to use the express service, and net re-
turns to the express companies are
out of proportion to the service per-
formed and the capital invested.

MRS. LOGAN GOING TO HUSBAND
Ottawa Friends Think Murder Sus-
pect Is Not Guilty.

Ottawa, Kan, Aug. 6.-Although
overcome with grief at the news that
her husband is being held on a charge
of the murder of Will Miller near
Great Bend, Mrs. Henry C. Logan to-
day is making her preparations to go
to her husband at Hutchinson. 1t is
probable that she will not be able to
travel for several days.
In the meantime. the members of
the family here are being kept fully
advised of the trend of affairs through
letters from A. D. Rogers, Logan's
inson. A letter from Mr.. Rogers says
that Mr.. Logan is much depressed and
seems to have something burdensome
on his mind. However he still insists
that he is innocent of the murder Of
Miller.
Friends of Logan still think that
he did not commit the crime, or else
that he did it in a fit of insanity, as
his conduct always has been opposed
to any such a trend. Mrs. w. L. Nc
Clellan, Mrs. Logan's mother, who
wrote to Mr.. Rogers asking that he
visit the prisoner and ascertain if he
were not Mr.. Logan, made the sug-
gestion after reading the published
description of the prisoner. She knew
that Mr.. Logan had last been heard
from in the vicinity of Great Bend
and suspected that the police would
arrest any stranger that might be
there. She insists that Logan is utter
ly incapable of the crime.
The wife thinks that If he is guilty
the crime is the result of insanity.

Fort Scott, Kan, Aug. 6.-Every AL
len county baseball fan has watched
with interest the rise of Walter john
son. the former Allen county boy who
has won laurels as a pitcher He earn
ed considerable reputation In the
northwest and was then purchased by
the washington team in the American
league. He has made the best teams
sshite the dust" even with tall-end
team behind him.
Johnson would win the pennant Tor
anv one of the four clubs in the first
division at present, says New York
dispatch. He wouldn't lose more than
one game out of ten were he playing
with the Athletics, New York, Boston
or Detroit He is truly the master
pitcher of the American league-better
than Bender Ford, Collins, Combs,
Walsh, Joss and the other stars.
1t is tough when a manager has one
of the greatest pitchers of modern
times. but cannot use him for fear OF
crippling all of his catchers.
Johnson probably is leading the
American league today with strikeouts
In one game against st. Louis this
season the Idaho wonder whitfield seven

GETTING READY FOR DIVIDENDS
Union Pacific VIII Pay Its Usual 2 1s
Per Cent.

New York, Aug. 6.-The directors
of the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cific companies are scheduled to meet
next week for action on the common
dividend. While rumors have been
current for some time concerning the
possibility of reduction in the Union
Pacific rate from the present 10 per
cent to an 8 per cent annual basis, they
have found no authority in responsible
sources. Unless something entirely
unforeseen turns up in the meantime.
the directors of the Union Pacific will
declare the usual quarterly dividend
of 2 " per cent on the common stock
and the southern Paclfic directors Will
declare the usual quarterly dividend
of 1 II per cent on the common stock
of that company.
1t may be said that the management
of the Union Pacific is entirely conf
dent that the present dividend rate on
the common can be maintained for an
indefinite period and the earning ca
pacity of the road would seem to
Justify this confidence.

The preliminary surveys of seyen lines
pass through near the city, and two of

the objective points Little Rock and
Denver, but now building from the
mines in the Choctaw nation on the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas west to Fort

Reno to point on the Kiowa extern
sion of the Santa Fe in Texas.

dispute, with prospects of quick set
Element. The other road, and it is ex-
pected to reach Oklahoma CITY by
October 1, is the Denison & Washita
which is backed by the Lehigh Valley
and is building from Denison via the
coal fields in the Choctaw nation to
Oklahoma City. They are now grad
ing on this line at the rate of nearly a
mile day. The Rock Island has a
charter which admits of a line through
here from Reno to the coal fields; the
Frisco has a surveyed line from Sa-
pulpa to Albuquerque, passing half a
mile north of town; the Kansas City &
Pacific has a survey from CoffeyviIle
to Oklahoma City, and a western ex-
tension of the Frisco from Fort Smith
is hoped for. Then there is talk of
the division on the Santa Fe being re-
moved here from Purcell.
