TO FI6HT GRAIN COMBINE
f'nrnipr of .Vrltrnxkn mill Kniiftiin
Meet to I'orin Orunnliitloii fur
.HlillMihiK Tlu'lr 0n Whoiif.
SALINA, Kan., May 13. (Special ) The
vanguard of tho western grain growers'
convention which will meet here tomorrow
nfternoon has nrrlved, and reports received
by promoters of tho movement indicate thnt
there will be n large attendance, not only
from tho wheat belt of Kansas but from
Oklahoma and portions of Nebraska.
The primary object of tho convention Is
to orgnnlzo n, grain growers' association to
combat the grain trust which now controls
the local wheat markets In tha west, but
l it tno movement is bucccssiiii u un hi
I renllty be n farmers' trust. It Is estimated
that tho (lcleRntcs which will bo In attend
ance hero represent 25,000,000 bushels of
tho new crop, nnd by tho tlmo harvest Is
over tho organization expects to control
doubln that amount.
Within tho Inst six weeks co-operative,
stock companies havo been organized In
many of tho whcnt-RrowlnR counties of
Kansas to compcto with tho grain trust.
Thne companies are made up of farmers
who believe thoy aro not receiving us much
for their wheat as tho mnrkot warrants,
nnd who wish to try shipping It to market
themselves. They nro tinnhlo to do It, how
ever, for two reasons. Thoy cannot ns a
rulo get cars In which to ship, and when
thoy do secure enrs, In exceptional cases,
they cannot Induce commission men nt tho
grain centers to receive their shipments.
A few years ago at every rallroud sta
tion throughout tho wheat bolt of Kansas
thero was ono or moro elevators owned or
operated by local grain dealers. In gr.od
crop years there would iilso be "track
shippers," dealers who had no clovators,
but who had tho farmers loud their wheat
direct from their wagons Into cars. When
a farmer brought a load of wheat to town
tho competing buyers gathered around It,
examined the quality nnd then bid what
they thought Uin market warranted. As a
result the farmer got all his wheat was
worth and sometimes more.
But within tho last three years big grain
syndicates havo como into tho stnto and
bought, leased or built so many elevators
that they practically control tho markets.
Further than this, a state association has
been formed among tho Independent ship
pers, which compels Its members nt com
peting points to form pools nnd keep the
price down. The syndicates arc In control
of tho statu association through their
agents. They have compelled the railroads
to establish a rule to refuso cars for grain
shipment unless tho grain Is In sight at
tho track or In an elevator when the car
Is naked for. This effectually shuts off tho
operations of tho track shippers and keeps
farmers from qhlpplng their own gialn.
When n farmer brings his wheat to town
he has to hunt up tho buyer and every
buyer offers him the samo price. There la
no competition. Tho farmers claim that tho
pool price Is from 2 to 6 cents lower than
tho general market warrants and In many
cases this takes nearly all of tho farmer's
profit and gives It to tho pool or combine.
Compelled to liny nt I.iinh.
If an Independent buyer builds an ele
vator and attempts to do business the, price
Is put up above what tho general market
warrants, so that ho Is compelled to buy
grain at a loss or allow bin elevator to
stand Idle, (n cither event ho Is soon
glad to close, up and tho prlco then drops
back.
In order to break up tho combines tho
farmers havo formed their local shipping
associations and aro building or leasing
elovatora. They will employ au agent who
will bid all wheat Is worth, allowing a
sufficient margin for freight and cost of
handling. In caso tho comblno bids moro
than tho wheat Is really worth the farmers
agreo to sell to the comblno nnd pay to
their own company 1 cent a bushel for all
grain sold to tho combines,
The convention hero tomorrow will bo
composed of delegates from the local ship
ping associations and from county nsso
clntlons operating along tho same tinea.
Prnctlcnlly every wheat-growing country
In Kansas will bo represented. A stato as
sociation will bo formed to extend tho lo
cal associations and got control of as larao
a wheat acreago as possible, w ith a vlow to
crushing tho grain combluo. Tho stnto as
sociation will also arrange for receiving
shipments at destination points. Hereto
fore commission men have been nfrald to
recelvo grain of Independent shippers for
fear of boycott by tho combine, but within
tho last week a largo number of commis
sion men nt various points havo notincd
tho promoters of tho movement that they
will break away from the combine and re
ceive tho grain of tho farmers shipping as
sociations.
This Is probably as far as tho groin
growers will go at present, but the pro
motors of the movement hope eventually
to remove tho speculative element from
the grain raarkots. It Is expected that sim
ilar associations will bo formed In other
westorn grnln states and that these as
sociations will bo eventually combined lu
a measure. If that Is accomplished nn
offort will bo made to sell tho groin direct
from tho farms to tho mills of the coun
try and tho surplus direct to the exporters,
llraliatlng tho grain pits of tho speculat
ing centers and allowing tho price to bo
controlled by supply and demand.

, Late , yesterday afternoon .Frank J. Morl
art'y, cashier of the Packers' National' bank.
received a telegram from his eastern cor
respondents to tho effect that the Issue of
$70,000 funding bonds had been sold and tho
money paid. This settles a matter which
has been pending since last October and
will relieve the financial condition to a
great extent. While these bonds wero being
hawked about tho credit of tho city was
not what It has been In the past, but It
was no fault of the municipality. When the
issue wan first contemplated the bonds were
offerod for snlo and wero purchased by Mr.
Morlarty at n premium of $700. A con
tract was entered Into between tho finance
commltteo of the council and the purchaser
and It looked as If tho sale would bo con
sumntcd without delay. However the
Knockers' club" held a session and In
sisted that thii council advertise for bids
for the purpose of securing n higher pre
mium. Thoso who wcro conversant with
the condition of affairs at the time, and
especially as the city was working under
tho old charter, thought that tho premium
offered was tho best that could be secured
and so stated, nut to satisfy the Objectors
bids wore ndvertlsed for and C. II. Hnnnan
of Council Illuffs secured tho bonds by of
fering a premium of $2,400. Then com

the city, which should havo boen taken up

for six months. It was only when tho coun
cil saw that Hannan did not want to per
form his part of tho contract that the
agreement with him was nbrogated nnd tha
old contrnct with Mr. Morlnrty, which still
existed, was resumed. It took Mr. Morlarty
less than a week to dispose of the lssuo
after ho was In possession of tbo securities.

Editor Tanner of Mie Tribune has this to
say of tho ordinance Introduced at Tuesday
night's meeting of tho council In regard to
the street fair: "Tho ordlnnnco Intro
duced at tho council meeting Tuesday night
charging excessive licenses for all shows
was Introduced to protect the promoters of
tho Street Fair association and Is to be
In forco only during tho period of tho fair.
Had tho ordinance been explained to the
council It would no doubt hnve received
favorablo consideration,"
It Is understood that this high-license
ordinance Is a copy of tho one used at Fre
mont during tho street fair thero and with
tho amendments mado has now been ac
cepted by the cltv attorney and tho board
of control of tho fair association. The un
derstanding Is that the association will pay
for the publication of the two ordinances
needed and also for the repealing or
dinances which will follow nfter the expira
tion of tho fair.
W. n. Cheek nnd J. Ii. Wntklns will In
tho future act as press agents for the fair

Members of tho city council havo been
out looking at the new Twenty-third street
sewer which was laid Inst fall by J. E.
Illley. From K to F streets this sower Is
laid nn piling through the big gully there.
Tho filling was done when the ground was
frozen nnd consequently the rains have
washed the dirt .iway, leaving a few sickly
looking piles to hold up a ten-Inch ewer.
The strain Is too great nnd unless some
thing Is dono at onfe the sewer will fall
off tho piles. Repairs were made to this
sewer only n short tlmi ago by Street Com
missioner Clark, but tho dirt filled In soon
washes away and the only solution of the
problem Is tho hulldlng of a trestle strong
enough to hold the sower. Then It will
have to be boxed In to provent freezing In

Decauso Charles Drown, colored, Is left

charge of assault with Intent to kill Charles
H. Weatherford, also colored, filed against

The assault occurred Ipst Sunday evening
In a lestaurant nt Fifteenth and Capitol
avenue, and Weatherford was no badly hurt
that It was thought he woulrr dl&. At last
accounts, however, he was somewhat Im
proved. Brown's peculiar defenso Is based upon
tho fact that the constable who drew up
the Information failed to post himself upon
this Idiosyncrasy of Ilrown's, but followed
Instead the stilted and obscure langungo of
tho statutes, and wrote that Drown was
armed with "a certain knife which he, the
said Charles Drown, then and there, In his
right band, had, and held, the said Charles
II. Weatherford unlawfully, feloniously and
maliciously did stab," etc. It Is under
stood that Drown will summon several wit
