The Mines.

In sympathy with a sharp de-
cline of the spelter market, the
local zinc offerings for the pies
ent production period just closed
suffered a drop that came near
equalling that at the close of
January. While the higher grade
managed to prevent the market
from slipping lower than 81. the
penalization Of the lower grades
was nearly three times as great.
The general zinc range for the
week was SAL to $4S.
The calamine shipment which
reached extensive proportions
last week settled into a normal
condition, the range for this ore
being SIS to $27.
With the price unchanged that
$51 to $S4, nothing other than
the usual interest was manifested
in the lead shipments for the
week.
Tom lakewood shipped 65,.
$40 pounds of zinc from his
White Eagle mine last week.
The Eulahla Mining Company
shipped 64,5O0 pounds of lead,
and A. W. Abrams shipped s,11O
pounds of lead last week.

Capt. L. C. Mason, at one time
identified with the mining inter-
ests of this locality, died in In
dependence, Kansas, on Wednes-
day afternoon of last week while
out riding with a daughter.
Captain Mason was president of
the Mason Mining Company, OPP
Grating in the Baxter camp, and
he did his best to make a success
of the mine. He had just re-
turned from a trip to Panama
and Cuba, and was feeling in
good health and spirits. His
death was very sudden.

Commission
Government.

The present Legislative system
costs Kansas from $4,000 to
$4,000 every two years. The
legislature meets for 4 session OF
fifty days and there are l65 mem
bers. The business is crowded
through without consideration of
the effect of the measure passed,
and there are from two hundred
and fifty to five hundred laws at
each session.
Under the plan urged BY Gov
eruor Hodges there would be
eight commissioners who would
be in session all the time. The
eight men could be paid salaries
of $4,000 a year and the cost
would be only $4,000 year, a
financial saving over the present
system.
Three or four laws each year
would be all the legislation ac-
tually required aside from the
regulation necessary for the de-
tails of the states business. The
statute books would not be bur-
dened. A few clerks would be
all the help required and the eight
men could devote all their time
to the efficient conduct of the DIFF
ferent departments.
The new rule would abolish the
Legislative Hobbies; the governor
would be a member of the body
of Legislators and the policies the
people voted for at the election
would be put into immediate eff
feet.

Pastor Russell Loses.

Pastor Russell, the famous lee
turer and preacher, brought suit
against the Brooklyn Eagle for
damages, caused by the Eagles
attack on Miracle" wheat, which
the pastor was promoting, and
which the News mentioned some
time ago. The pastor sued the
Eagle for 100000 damages, and
after a lengthy trial the case
was given to the jury. The jury
was out only forty minutes and
brought in a verdict in favor Of
the newspaper. Government ex'
perts said the wheat was not as
good as many of the more com
mon varieties.
Pastor Russell has a big fol-
lowing in this country, and it is
thought his turn-down in this
country will cool" them some.
