GET BETTER RATES.
Topeka Can Now Compete With X. c.
to Points Northeast.

Within ten days or two weeks Topeka
industrial institutions will have much
broader field for distribution than they
enjoy at the present time. The
procuring of joint rates from
Topeka to central branch points
through the eorts of the Topeka Traffic
bureau under II. D. Driscon will mean
that thousands of dollars worth of To-
peka products will be shipped annually
into the prosperous districts of north
eastern Kansas and southern Nebraska.
The new tariff is now being printed.
When it goes into effect Topeka will have
the same rates that Kansas City has,
and can compete with that city. This
has not previously been possible in the
territory in question.
Topeka has been wanting these rates
for long time said Commissioner Dris-
coll today. This is possibly the richest
territory in the state. 1t viii give Topeka
d bigger field for distribution
The rates will be effective as far north
as Virginia, Nebraska.
Commissioner Driscoll will leave for
Washington, D. c., late today. He will
appear March before the Interstate
Commerce commission for the purpose of
putting in the final argument in the case
heard in Topeka some months ago in
volving the rate of bananas from southern
ports to Topeka, after which decision
may be expected at any time.

TO LIFT THE MORTGAGE.
Euclid Avenue Church Out of Debt
at Last.

Practically the last of the money
necessary to raise the debt on the
Euclid Avenue Methodist church has
been raised, and the mortgage bids
fair to be paid off in full Monday. The
debt has been burden to the people
of the church for several years. A
year ago it had been reduced to ST.
800. Then the official board decided
with the pastor. Dr. Edwin Locke,
that the balance must be paid during
the conference year.
Subscriptions covering the entire
debt were secured and by a close shave
the debt will be lifted before the con-
ference which begins next wednesday,
convenes. The official board of the
church are feeling good over the fact
that the building is clear, and the
church is planning social in cell
bration of the event when the pastor
returns from conference.

Cat Gives Life for Child.

Sadie kantor, years old, dropped out
of the fifth-foor window at 126 East 1O3d
street. In the fail to the stone-paved
courtyard in the rear of the building she
was bruised from the contact with net
work of clotheslines, but she landed COM
fortabIy a big. gray cat sleeping in
the yard, and While she crushed out nine
lives, not bone was broken in her own
little body.
1t was Sadie's fourth birthday, and with
five brothers and sisters and several
friends she was enjoying a reast. 1t was
close in the room, and some one asked
Sadie to open the window at the rear and
let in some fresh air. Sadie got the win
dow up, but in struggling to raise it a lit
tie higher her hands slipped and her little
body plunged through the opening.
At the third floor she held on with one
hand for a moment to clotnesline- Her
little body struck several cross-lfneS at
the second floor. and then she plunged
down right on top of the cat
The girls mother ran screaming down
to the yard, expecting to find the child
dead. Instead she was standing up and
petting the dead cat
Poor kitty" she said
Dr. Urdang, from the Siddenham hos
pital, who examined Sadie. said that be-
yond a few slight bruises she was unhurt.

BROWN OF KINGMAN.
Speaker Declares Republicans Have to
Explain /. and X.

! Speaker w. l.. Brown denies most
emphatcally that the house minority
has. placed the administration forces in
a hole in their refusal to accept the
{ report of the conference committee on
the initiative and referendum. Instead,
he insists that the measure which came
from the confereeS is even stronger
document than the original house bill
Further than that. Brown vows that
the Progressive members who Joined
with the Republicans in the defeat of
the resolution Will have much explain
ing to do when they return home and
that he is perfectly willing for the
voters to decide who has been placed
in the hole by the action of the house.
In my judgment the conference COM
mittees' was a superior proposition to
even the house mease," said Brown,
land carried with it the idea of the
majority side of the house, that no
court should have a right to review,
save in municipalit where there was
danger that in big cities, joints or sa-
looms would be countenanced, which
would then be removed from the power
of the law. This was perfectly salts
factory to the prohibition people, many
of whom endorsed it by letter and by
personal visits to the legislature.
1t provided that it took twenty per
cent of the qualified voters to submit
a constitutional amendment and ten
per cent to initiate or refer a law. On
state matters no court cOulC review
1t was the only measure on which the
conferees could agree and Mr.. Barrett
and the members of the conference
committee are to be congratulated on
getting the two houses together
proposition of this kind
ION the minority side is num-
Der who claim to be Progressives and
followers of the colonel, yet they al
lowed a Standpat Republican to lead
them into the position in which they
are today and are alone responsible
for the defeat of the proposition to
submit the I. and r. to the people OF
Kansas. Their position is in direct
opposition to that taken by the Re
publican senators and they alone will
have to answer to the people of TINS
state for the defeat of the proposition
to allow the people to say whether
they want the |. and r. or not.
There is Just one show. and it is very
indefinite one, for the I. and r. being
subanitted.-that is for the senate to back
up reconsider their adoption of the con-
ference committees report and pass the
house measure by two-thirds majority.
This they will not do, in my judgment
for like the majority side of the house
they are satisfied with the resolution that
came from the conference committee and
for that reason will maintain their posi-
ton

PLANNING FOR MATCH,
Arrangements Under Way for Hoff-

STOPPED THE PRACTICE.
No More Freight Cars on City Streets
in Business Hours.

The city commissioners put stamp
of disapproval on the practice of the
street railway company of occasional
ly hauling coal and freight on the
streets of Topeka in business hours,
and the custom of leaving freight
cars on Jackson and other streets
throughout the city.
An ordinance was passed which
prohibits the hauling of freight ex-
cept between the hours from midnigh t
to eight o'clock in the morning. No
freight car will be allowed to stand
upon the tracks between those hours
or at any other time except for the
purpose of leading.
One of the commissioners expressed
himself as being of the opinion that
it is dangerous to leave cars on Jack
son street near the state house
grounds. 1t is wonder that boys
have not before now Ioosened the
brakes. and let the cars start sliding
down the street.
The ordinance also provides that all
cars must stop for the discharge of
passengers at the near crossings
and not forty feet from the crossings

SOLD THE CHICKENS.
And That Was Where George Arthur
Made His Mistake.

When George Arthur added the sale
of the last of their chickens to his
other offenses his wife complained and
the result is that he has been cited to
appear in the proabte court to show
why he does not support his wife and
six-months-old baby. Arthur, accord
ing to the story told by his wife, has
been loafing for months, and his fam
lily have suffered the consequences.
When he has needed money for Incl
dentals he has used various means of
securing it, his wife charges, the last
being the sale of their chickens.
Yesterday afternoon she says he
took half the chickens and sold them.
Sch did. not complain seriously at that.
But this morning he took the other
half and disposed of them. Then she
complained. The case will be heard
in the next few days.
