FOR 2-CENT RATE
KANSAS RAILROAD BOARD WILL
BE ASKED TO ACT.
COMPLIANCE DEEMED LIKELY
Road6 May Grant Concession Without
a Struggle Complaint Charges
That Kansas People Are Dis
criminated Against.
A Topeka, Kas., August 2G dispatch
ways: It may not he necessary ror
tho state board of railroad commis
sioners to take much time before or
dering an emergency passenger rate
of 12 cents per mile. George W. Kan
avel
jl, chairman of the board, said that
believed that it would not bo nee
....... . ....... .. i i....
he
efsary for tho board to have a hearing
at all. Ho thinks that all that will bo
necessary will lie for the members
tn meet and decldo on th'J advisability
of declaring an emergency and putting
tho 2-cent rate Into effect at once and
ordering tho railroads to charge not
moro than 2 cent per mile for hauling
passengers. If this position is ngnt
Kansas may have a '2-cent rate within
a few days. Tho board on Tuesday
will havo Its first regular mooting
since the governor gave out his letter
threatening to call a special session of
tho legislature to have a 2-cent law
enacted unless the board acted at
once.
Should the railroads decide not to
put the rate into effect, a legal fight
might be precipitated. Tho state of
ficials seem to believe that the rail
roads will not make a fight, as tho
public pressure Is too strong, and they
nre too much afraid of possible dras
tic action which might be taken by
the legislature should a special ses
sion be called.
Further developments tending to
show that the low rate will become ef
fective in Kansas at once appeared
Sunday and it now seems to bo gen
erally believed that the roads will
make the rate effective shortly after
tho order is issued by the board.
J. M. Council, general passenger
agent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fo, had a long talk with E. C. Shiner,
secretary of the board, and also with
Mr. Grattan, M. A. Low, general at
torney for tho Hock Island, and N. II.
Loomis, general attorney for tho
Union Pacific, held a secret meeting
yesterday ond it is said that the
whole matter was carefully consid-
oi ed. It is believed by many men in
I'opeka that tho railroads will make a
lard fight to prevent the hoard put
ting In the rate, but when the order
s once Issued tho fight will be purely
nominal and the rate will bo effective.
PREPARING FOR LONG TRIP.
Torpedo Flotilla Will Also Go to the

Tho naval torpedo flotilla, which See

the Hull, Truxton, Whipple, Hopkins,
Word en, Stewart, Lawrenco and Mac-
Donough. Whether all these vessels
will bo in condition to make tho long
voyage then officials are not now pre
pared to say. Tho flotilla is com
manded by Lieutenant Commander
Anderson, but ho gives way October 1
to Lieutenant 11. L. Cono, who com
manded the Dale, which ncqomunicd

ALL LIKED THE TEA
SPECIAL BREW LIVENED UP TEM.
PERANCE MEETING.
But There Would Be an Awful Rum-
pu6 If the Ladles Knew Just
What Made the Bever
age So Good.
The half dozen or more elderly worn
en who compose a select little temper
ance society met at the homo of an
East End member the other day foi
one of their semi-sooften discussions
of ways and means and such like.
It so happens that one of the mem
bers is rather feeble in consequence ol
her advanced years and is accustomed
to lie down every afternoon. She was
going to occupy a lounge whllo the
other blue-ribboned members went on
with their talk.
The hostess suggested that maybe a
cup of tea would help some, and acting
upon her own suggestion hustled out
and came back with the teapot steam
ing.
The woman who had planned to lie
down during the session brightened up
after taking the tea.
"That's certainly the best tea I ever
tasted," she said. "I don't believe I'll
lie down."
The others, too, agreed that the tea
came pretty near to being just the
thing. It braced them up so that their
meeting was the liveliest they had had
for these many weeks.
Now, a day or so before the temper
ance session, the head of the house
hold at which the meeting was hold,
and who may be known as John H.
Isnot, because that Isn't It, had been
advised by his physician to take a
certain kind of bitters in whisky.
He was ordinarily a total abstainer
from the drop of the hat, but he got
the bitters and a half pint of the
whisky. After he had fixed up enough
for a dose or two ho wondered what
to do with the bottle containing the
rest of the stuff, for he knew how his
wife stood on the temperance plank
and that no physician's recommenda
tion squared the rum thing with her.
Then he noticed an old teapot that
they seldom used.
A day or so after the meeting of the
temperance society husbands and
daughters of the members came to Mr.
Isnot's home one by one to learn how
he came by such excellent tea. "My
wife never has got through talking
about that tea she got over here," said
ono man. "She felt better for two or
three days."
"A friend of mine in tho tea busi
ness "gave me two or three pounds of
that," said Isnot. "I doubt if I can
get hold of any more of it."
"Mother'll give $3 a pound for it,"
said a young woman who had Just ar
rived. But Isnot is a conscientious man and
has thus far refused to take any of
their money. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Representatives of the theater trust,

upon a London dance hall singer.
"We will give you $50,000 a Aveek,

have an individual press agent," they
told her.
"But will you 'ire me a lawyer by

They agreed to this readily, and
the uplift of the stage was assured.

appearance, but also affects the wear

President Castro's Conceit.
Many stories have been told of
Cipriano Castro, president of Venezue
la, and of his monumental conceit.
During the Russo-Japanese war the
fall of Port Arthur was being ex
plained to him.
"Pshaw!" he exclaimed. "With 500
Venezuelans I could have taken it in
four days."
"With a thousand, in one day, your
excellency," said the diplomatic rep
resentative of a European power.
Castro was so pleased at what was
intended to be sarcasm that, it Is said,
the diplomat succeeded next day in se
curing satisfaction of a claim tnat his
government had been vainly pressing
for years.
Patron Saint of Lawyers.
This story is told at tho expense of
Francis H. T. Maxwell, a well-known
lawyer. The members of the Taunton,
Mass., Bar association thought they
ought to have a patron saint, but after
much wrangling they could not hit up
on any particular saint.
Finally a committee, of which Mr.
Maxwell was a member, was appoint
ed to make a selection. They made
a trip to New York, and there visited
a gallery where most of the saints were
carved in marble. It was decided to
leave the selection to Mr. Maxwell,
and after making the rounds lie placed
his hand on one in a group of two.
"This ono will do," he said. He had
his hand on tho devil, whom St. Mi
chael was driving before him.
