Cherryvale, Kan, May 15.-The ola
CherryvaIe, Oklahoma & Texas rail-
road-the project of Senator Porter OF
Caney-has been absorbed in much
greater railroad project under the
name of the Kansas, Oklahoma &
Texas. The contemplated system calls
for a mileage of close to 5000 and a
network of lines from Kansas City TO
the gulf.
Rea wade of Perry. Ok, a stock
holder, has filed with Secretary VI
state Ben Harrison Of Oklahoma an
and increase the capitalization at ~
million dollars with an additional AUTH
orized bonding Of $4,000 a mile.
The main line, as proposed. will ex-
tend from ST. Louis to Galveston @out
its route is not given. Another line,
evidently to be a trunk line, starts at
Kansas City and comes south to Ca
new through Montgomery county. AT
Canev a branch goes southeast through
Nowata Vinita and Fayetteville, Ark,
to Little Rock. This branch Is the or
fginal CherryVale. Oklahoma & Te8as
on which some work has been done.
The CherryvaIe. Oklahoma & Texas
is now a defendant in a friendly rece1V-
ership suit in the federal court at Fort
Scott.
The Kansas City main line continues

The other division goes west from
Pawhuska to Oklahoma City where
there is another divergence. A trunk
line will go due south from Oklahoma
City to tide water on the Texas coast.
A branch line will go southwest
through Ell Reno and Lawton to Chit

Denver City in the Texas Panhandle

LOST PAGE BRINGS REVENUE.
Loss of Tariff Sheet Raises Rates on
$50 Commodities.

$50 Commodities.
Houston, Tex, May 15.-By tearing
out one page from their tariff books,
the railroads of the southwest have
raised the freight rates on more than
$50 commodities. The discovery that
the page had beel. removed from the
tariff sheets has been made by the
Houston shippers and the matter will
pro badly be carried to the interstate
commerce commission. The page was
one between the class section and the
commodity section of the tariff books,
and on it was printed the clause that
is commonly known as the alternate
application clause. This clause pro-
vfded that where any article was listed,
both in the class section and the COM
modify section. that the lower rate
should be effective. When no clause
of this kind is in effect 1t is universally
understood that the commodity rate
shall apply, regardless of whether it
is higher or lower than the class rate.
since the page containing the clause
has been removed.
The alternate application clause is
one of the provisions of the Texas COM
mission to give the shippers the bene-
fit of the lower rate, and it was effec-
tive for long time. In fact, it has
been part of every tariff sheet pub
lished since it was framed by the COM
mission until the last tariff appeared.
They were published without it and
distributed. The removal. it is esti-
mated, will cost the shippers thousands
of dollars in the way of higher rates,
although the roads have not actually
increased a single rate.

1T Is UP TO THE WOMEN.
They Have Not Yet Named Choice OF
Free Day.

lady fans of this city do not seem to
care snap whether the directors of
the local Kansas State League ball
club set aside one day each week as a
free day for the fair sex or not. The
directors asked fo- an expression of
opinion from the fair fans and not one
has opened her head. Neither has
there been any explanation for the
silence forthcoming. The directors
are puzzled. They do not know wheth-
er the nonchalance is due to a lack of
interest in the national game or
whether the fair sex feels flush and
wishes to support the club with the
circulating medium as we'll as felici-
tous enthusiasm. Which ever it is it
is likely that the directors will not de-
clare a free day till some of the fair
ones speak up.

glad to contribute to the interests of the
church, and remained faithful in this
connection till the Lord called him into
the Church Triumphant He leaves a
widow. two sons, three daughters,
twelve grandchildren, two brothers,
two sisters and many relatives and
friends to mourn his death. A large
gathering of relatives and svmpathizing
friends attended the funeral on Satur-
day morning, March 2, IN St. Johns
Church, conducted by his pastor.
