KANSAS CITY , July 26. The grain rate
war , which has been waged for the past
, veek , will , according to the statements
> f several leading traffic men of this city ,
practically be concluded when the next cut
n rates Is made. This , It is anticipated ,
ivlll occur within a few days at most. One
f the active lines yesterday wired from
Chicago to Its local representative asking
what rate would be required on wheat to
hold it to Chicago markets as against the
-onlhcrn - ports. The reply was that It would
require a rate of 8 cents per hundred flat.
t Is believed that such a rate will be put
n , possibly tomorrow. That rate Is less
ban actual cost and none of the lines will
care to maintain It for any great length of
line. When business Is done nt a loss
t will be a matter of a short tlmo to get
nanagers In a conference for adjustment ,
t Is useless at the present time to discuss
compromise , as It Is stated the fight Is to a
finish.
WICHITA , Kan. , July 26. The week Just
closed has witnessed the liveliest grain
trade in southern and central Kansas that
hese sections have experienced In five years.
Just now the bulk of the old corn from this
section Is going to St. Louis and New Or
"cans , but dealers from northern , eastern
and southern points are all buying heavily ,
The shipments , while enormous , do not In
any sensa represent the business done , as
a \ery large amount of corn has been con
tracted for , but Is'held awaiting cars.
A great deal of the corn Is unroofed and
on account of the recent rains It Is too wet
to shell.

NEW YORK , July 26. An all day meet
Ing was held by the striking tailors of this
city In Wallmlla .hall today. Addresses
were made by a number of leaders and th
situation was generally discussed. Thu
substance of the remarks made by the varl
ous speakers was to the effect that no com
promise with the contractors should bi
made ; that the strikers must stand firm and
accept nothing but victory. The fact tha
some of the contractors who had In tin
past combated the tailors have now Jolnei
hands with them U regarded by the leaden
as significant , and Is taken as an omen o :
success for the tailors In their conflict fo ;
the entire abolition ot the sweat shop sys
torn , the increase of the weekly scale o
wages , and a fixed weekly toll standard o
fifty-nine hours , U Is estimated that full
20,000 bands are now Idle on account of th
strike In this city and vicinity. Commls
slonor Charles L. Phipps , chairman of th
State Board ot Arbitration , has visited th
leaders on both sides of the controvers ;
and an effort Is now being made to indue
all to arbitrate.

ST. LOUIS , July 26. Hon. Thomas M. Pat
terson of Colorado has given out the fol
lowing signed statement for publication :
"To the Assdchtcd Press : The outcome
of the convention Is not satisfactory. The
grave mistake was committed of taking but
one-half of the Chicago ticket. Why tha
populists should have fought so desperately
lor the vice president Is hard to under
stand. The office bears about the same re
lation to the country that a lieutenant
governor does to the state. The
latter office Is not above that
of a notary public , BO far as responsibility
Is concerned. U ts all nonsense to claim
the Chicago convention displayed no patriotIsm -
Ism Itself , but asked the populists to supply
It all. When the nominee of that conven
tion faced the entire New England delega
tion , with New York In their front , and
declared to them , 'We plead no more ; we
beg no more ; we defy you , ' to select
Im as n candidate for president cx-
iblted far more patriotism than
as required to surrender to some other
arty the puerile office of vlco president ,
ho middle-of-the-road populists scented to
ese sight of the great cause for which the
hlcago nominees unquestionably stand ,
hey seemed to think more of the offices
i the south , for which many are candidates ,
ian they did .to remove the onerous bur-
ens which the election of the Chicago
omlnco will raise from the shoulders ot the
cople. How It will result It Is difficult as
et to tell. I don't believe Mr. Sewall
111 withdraw and certainly hi will not bo
c.movod. This must result in two SPU of
Iryan electors In each state , ono for Brjan
nd Sewnll , nnd one for Bryan and Watson.
i li not at all impossible that with 200.000
Bryan votes in a state 103,000 McKlnlcy
otea would lose the state to llryan. To 11-
ustrate what I mean : Say the Bryan and
owall electors received 100,000 votes , the
Iryan and Watson i lectors 100,000 votes ,
hen 105.0CO votes cast for the McKlnlcy
lectors would give that state to
: io modern Napoleon with a good
iany to spare. This shows how
Isnstrous two tickets for the same presi-
ent and different vice presidents may bo
3ut In this election , the populists arc going
o bo practical rather than political. They
now they want free coinage , and though
hey may admlie Watson greatly , they willet
ot waste their votes for n ticket that they
my elect him'to'an office without power ,
csponslblllty , dr patronage. I believe Bryan
111 carry eyery' state west of the Missouri
iver and spveraj of the middle western
totes. Southern silver men will see that
hey lose no > otqs In this section.

The farmer who has been taught to fear
he mustard plant has a Just fear , as will
o confirmed by a view of the present coa
lition in southwestern Minnesota. The level
.rairlcs , where green fields were expected ,
are covered so evenly and thickly with the
ollow blossom that It seems Impossible
hat It can bo wild muslard.
This condition is noticeable in northwest
owa , In Nobles and nock counties , Minnesota
seta , and their vicinity , says the Mlnneapo-
1s Journal. The fields of grain seem to be
> urled beneath overflowing growths of mus-
ard. The railway tracks , wagon roads and
> arn yards are alike visited by this weed
ndced. this part of the country seams to
mve no rest from the monotony of Its nius-
ard growth. Mustard has long had a strong
lold In this part of the state , but the wet
season Is evidently the cause of twice the
usual growth In all fluids of small grain ,
farmers screen seed grain carefully , some-
Imes twice or three times , and are able by
his means to sow reasonably clean seed.
Hut clean seed or not matters little when
.ho ground Is already sown by mustard
seeds which fell before tne previous harvest ,
mustard ripening a full week or more before
grain. The mustard plant Is so hardy that It
; rows under severe disadvantages and the
sped can wait In the ground for years.
Tha average yield per acre of wheat in
Hock county for 1894 and 1895 was lowered
at least four bushels , and , although the
growth Is not thick enough to choke out a
great deal of grain , yet. nevertheless , the
mustard plant requires so much nourish
ment and sends so many and such long
roots Into the ground that it necessarll- ;
prlvcs the soil of considerable rlc-lir. 43. U
Is making new land old as fast or faster
than crops of grain. Summer fallowing ,
which Is very necessary to good farming ,
Is mndo difficult because of the mustard
growth. The mustard on public highways
Is. mown down while green. But It la use
less to talk of killing the mustard found In
grain fields and saving the grain , and the
law against noxious weeds is a dead letter
because of the Impossibility of enforcement.
Some nineteen or twenty years ago there
was a failure of crops on account of hall
and grasshoppers for two or thr 'o successive
years , until there was.no seed In the coun
try. All the seed grain used the following
spring along the Omaha roau and the whole
surrounding country was shipped In from
the east by one company. This seed con
tained mustard. From that time until now
It has grown worse and worse , Farmers
do not believe they will ever get rid of It.
It will lie In the ground over twenty years
and then grow perfectly. That U to Bay ,
it would take over twenty years' work , leav
Ing farms uncultivated , to clear the land en
tlrely of mustard.

U has often been stld that a newspaper
hoax is dltlleult to kill. Many will remem
ber how some years ago the Philadelphia
Record printed a tnlo about the discovery of
a peculiar and dangerous species of worms
In cakes of Ice , and the country exchanges ,
without for one moment considering that
worms could not live In Ice even If they
wanted to , greedily stole the story and
printed It as a discovery of their own. That
nmuslng fabrication was one of thu many
odd conceits of G. T. Lanlgan , the well
known "Ahkoond of Swot , " nays the Phila
delphia Times gosslpcr , Before ho Illumi
nated the Record he was n valued contribu
tor to the columns of the New York World ,
and It Is one of the staff of that Journal
who Is also the author of what was known
as the artificial egg hoax. The reason for
reviving this now will subsequently ap
pear.
pear.Walter
Walter H. MclJougall , the Now York
World's artist , Is also n bright writer , and
frequently the articles which he Illustrates
have Issued from his own pen. Ho lived , at
the tlmo of this narrative , In Newark. N.
J. , where also resided his brother , who was
a correspondent of the New York Sun.
About ten years ago , Walter McDougall ,
being possessed with some mischievous pur
pose , wrote to the Sun , over his brother's
signature , a very entertaining narrative of
how there had been started In Newark a fac
tory for the artificial preparation of patent
hen's eggs. The process by which these remarkable -
markablo products of Jersey Ingenuity were
created were very graphically described , the
mode of preparation seeming entirely
feasible , and the artificial eggs
were described as being superior
to the natural ova that
they Imitated In that they never reached
that period where It was difficult to dis
tinguish where the egg had ceased to exist
and the chicken had begun to have a be
ing. For the now process It was proudly
claimed that thereafter victims of the wiles
of boarding house mistresses need no longer
look upon the omelette with suspicion , nor
tremblingly apply an olfactory test to the
hard-boiled and soft-boiled eggs that might
form part of the morning meals. Itas
further declared In the publication which
appeared In the columns of the Sun that
the new scheme was such a success that
GOO dozen of the artificial eggs were being
sent weekly to the cities of New York and
Philadelphia , where , lit view of the popular
prejudice against manufactured products of
either dairy or hennery , they were disposed
of as the freshly laid and natural articles.
At the bottom of the letter appeared these
lines :
Samples may be had by express upon
application by mall to H. C. McDougall ,
Sunday Call Office , Newark , N. J.
IT TICKLED THEM BOTH.
When this wonderful piece of news ap
peared In the New York Sun. Walter II.
McDougall laughed with fiendish glee ami
H. C. McDougall awaited in fear and
trembling the outcome of the practical Joke ,
with whoso perpetrator he was un-
acijualnted.
When the eyes of the country editors of
this great republic fell upon that Innocent
tale the poised shears stabbed gashes in
Innumerable copies of the paper that "shines
for all" and for Charles A. Dana , and at the
expiration of that long period of time that
elapses between the country editor's com
muning with his exchanges and his manipu
lation of his hand press , the artificial egg
story blossomed again a thousand-fold In
the columns of the rural publications. Three
weeks after the appearance of the story in
the Sun II. C. McDougall received his first
communication upon the subject of arti
ficial eggs , and from that time forth there
flowed into the ofilce of the Sunday Call
hundreds and hundreds of inquiries from all
parts of the country about the new product
and hundreds and thousands of orders for
the wonderful egg that had never known a
hen. Many of the letters contained money
and money orders , the senders requesting
In return a-dozen or more of the coveted
articles. Ono man actually requested that
In selecting his eggs Mr. McDougall would
be careful to see that at least ten of the
dozen contained female germs , as he wanted
to batch them. As the published article
did not claim for the manufactured goods
generative qualities , but simply spoke of
them as being Interesting additions to the
food supply , this last request might have
been looked upon as a Joku had not tha
writer enclosed the money to pay for what
he wanted. McOougall did not know whu
had written the story that had brought htm
such annoyance , but he did become fearful
of getting Into toinu sort of a legal scrape on
account of the money he was the recipient
of and for two months he was kept busy
returning the cash and the postolllco orders
to the senders.
In time the entire occurrence was for
gotten , but the facts of the case lingered
in the minds of a few Jersey newspaper
men , and a few years later three needy
ones among them determined to revive the
lioax in a way that would bring money Into
their purses. One day there appeared
simultaneously In all of the New York news
papers and Homo of those of Philadelphia ,
Boston , Chicago , Cincinnati and elsewhere
a detailed narrative of the arrest of a man
In Paterson , N , J. , for selling artificial eggs.
The story as It was told and upon Investiga
tion the truth of It appeared to be
substantiated was to the effect that a
stronger appeared in Paterson , who went
to half a dozen grocers and sold them eggs
which , ho said , ho was peddling through
the country , ho Inducing them to make
purchases by placing a very low figure upon
lily warca. A customer of one of the groceru ,
who happened to bo n newspaper repot ter ,
bought oonio of the egges and took them to
his home. Ho soon returned to the grocer
with the Information that the eggs woulil
not cook , and ho Bald that ho was convinced
that they had been artificially made. Ono
of thorn was broken In the store , and when
fractured It presented a peculiar appearance
that made the grocer bt-llevo that the re
porter's accusation an to the genulncnesn o !
the article was correct. A police officer wai
at once placed upon the track of the peddler
who was found at the railroad station about
taking a train. Ho was Immediately ar
rested and token before a Justice of thu
peace , whereupon be confessed that the cgsH
were artificial , made nt a factory In Newark
and that ho was ono of a hundred valcti
agents employed by thu manufacturing firm
Ho was lined $25 , which sum be paid , and
was thereupon released ,
WENT AFTKIt THE PEDDLER ALSO ,
The truth of that part of the Rtory 1
that the pretended egg peddler was also n
reporter. The conspirators In the schumt
provided him with a mifllclont number o
natural egga that had been partly bollei
and the texture of the shell and of the cgl
itself slightly changed by treatment will
Bema sort of acid , The reporter who made
the purchase was , of course , one of the
conspirators , and the Justice of the praco
who imposed the fine was also In thu
Bchcmo , and It U very doubtful If that uum
of $25 was ever paid Into the treasury of
Pasaalu county , New Jersey. The profits ot
the conspiracy came from selling the story
of this surprising arrcitt of twenty or moru
newspaper * at $10 each and the aggregate
Hum wan divided among the thrco jnt'ii ' , Tbo
booka in the olllcu of the Paterson Justice of
the peace still uliow a record of the case ,
including the confession of ( he prutvndcd
peddler.
Strange as It may appear from this prac
tical Joke baa sprung a practical mult.
The artificial egg hoax of foino yearn ago
has led to really an artificial egg today ; not
that of the humble barnyard hen , but of
the princely plover , The Hinall and deli
cately tasting ova of that game bird Iiavo
become a rare but deilrable dellcnoy , You
can get them In this city at times at too
Bellevuo. Naturally they are difficult to
obtain and the supply Is small. An in
genious Frenchman ban mot thtx condition
of affairs with an artificial egg which 1 o
Ilko the natural article that U la almost
Impossible to delect Iho difference. Many
of thorn have already been Imported Into
hli country oven to Philadelphia-and nt
lanquets , where the host has Initiated upon
being provided with n number of plover
'ggs ' beyond the supply of the house , ho hug
been furnished with the artificial product
and thus f r no ono has detected the differ
ence. This Is not a hoax. U Is not a Joke ,
Is a cold , hanl fact.
And perhaps the wily Frenchman got his
