LEAVENWORTH, Kan.. Oct. 4.-(Spe- dal.) Captain W. Klrkman, late of the Twenty-nfth United States infantry, who will be discharged from the United States penitentiary tomorrow morning, announces that ha ha written a book which deals bf in Manila. The proceeding was ordered after all the facts had been reported to General Otis, commanding the Philippines. He was convicted of the charges and sen tenced to dismissal from the army. Restored to Former Rank. Kirk.iian, however, had influential frlonds In the United States and he enlisted the aid of these In his behalf. Klrkman con tended that the sentence of dismissal was Illegal, or rather the approval of the same by General Otis, on the ground that a state of war did not exist In the Philippines at the time. . The constitution gives a general that power only during a state of war. This view of the case congress concurred In and within three months from the time of Klrkinan's dismissal he was restored to his former rank. lie was dismissed in March, 1900, and restored the subsequent June. In 1901 Klrkman was transferred to "the Twenty-fifth Infantry. While stationed at Fort Niobrara, Neb., he caused the suicide of the wife of an officer of his regiment. with fhft 'lnMo'- t armv life.

McHUgh this afternoon noti fied Attorney General Thompson that the EARNINGS OF VARIOUS R0AB3 Topeka Million- Com pan r Wants Hallnaj oa Weight of Pack ages Chanced for Its Benefit. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. 4. (Special.) The State Railway commission has under considera tion a proposed order compelling railroads to run their rsssengpr trains on time, or give a mighty good reason for every delay. Included In- the order will be a demand that where trains are late the fact shall be posted on the bulletin board. That is, if the train Is thirty minutes late the bulletin shall so show and it it la an hour late it shall so show. According to the informa tion received by the commission, it is not unusual for a train two hours lata to be bulletined thirty minutes late, and the in formation the traveling public receives from the agents of the company is in line with the bulletin boards. A railroad man set up the excuse for these delays in wait ing for other trains by saying it was done to accommodate passengers who are com pelled to make connections, but the Idea of the commission seems to be it Is to transfer the express packages and mall rather than to accommodate any particular class of people. The commission is work ing on an order which will compel the passenger trains to run somewhere near the hour set for their departure. The traveling men have asked for this order and there Is not the least doubt but what they will get it v Earnings of Railroads. During the month of July the railroads of the state, with the exception of the Missouri Pacific, had on Income of (J,- 2mU,644.16. This totla Included the receipts on freight forwarded end freight received nd from ticket sales. The ticket sales for the month aggregated JG34,964.S2, of which less than one-third was for inter state business. The compilation, made by Rate Clerk Powell, of the reports of the roads for the month of July shows the following table: Revenue from freight received at stations $1,679,420.50 Revenue from freight forwarded to Interstate points 8r,459.13 Ticket sales 634.9ii4.62 Total W,i:oo,844.15 The ticket sales are divided between state and interstate business as follows: Btate 6 t 430,033.8 Interstate 2o4.itto.tS6 Total cash paid out for month.. 3,200,844.16 Included tn the above figures the follow ing cities did business as shown below: Lincoln, South Omaha and Omaha freight received State t 209,971.74 Interstate 2W),859.5 succeed tn getting the book printed.

Member of Prominent Family. Klrkman, member of one of the best known army families in the United States, served a sentence of three years in the United States penitentiary for violation of the sixty-first and sixty-second articles of war. Before his conviction no man in the army was better known. His record as a soldier was excellent, but in social life his :' run of tha world. Ita mire .nd a for "Mr..

States operate or.ly through their officers and consequently when officers are enjoined the state Is enjoined. It is simply a matter of In terpreting the constitution. Rallaar an Brands. Attorney General Thompson lias ruled, upon a request ' from the secretary of state, that where duplicate brands have been Issued the one receiving tho brand first as shown by the records in the otflce of the secretary of state Is entitled to the same and the second person receiving the same cannot legally use it. He holds that in the matter of recording the brands duplicates must' be cancelled. Topeka Firm Complains. The food commissioners' office received today a lengthy letter from a large milting company of Topeka, Kan., in which is set forth the argument against the ruling that the label on the foed package must show, not the gross weight of the package, but the net weight. "Our goods," says the Topeka concern, "are weighed by automatic machinery which, gives us the gross Weight. It would cost a great many thousand dollars to make a change so thst the net weight would be given, as we would have to in stall a complete set of machinery, es pecially for that purpose." To this, Food Commissioner Johnson has sent the following reply: I sm sending you under separate cover a copy of this Nebraska pure food law. If you read it carefully you will be able to see throughout the entire act, the one gen eral purpose, to compel the food package through Its label to disclose its secret, that is. the character of the food and the amount of food in the package. The money that the food buyer lays down shows for itself. You can count it dollar by dollar and cent by cent. There Is no opportunity for the buyer to cheat, even to the amount of one penny. But there la opportunity for the food package to cjieut and the evidence is abundant that some of the manufacturers have used the op portunity on a very large scale. This law Is Intended to remove that op portunity, not only in fairness to the food buyer but In protection to the honeat manufacturer, who needs protection from the dishonest manufacturer, who competes, not by lowering prices, but by lessening the quantity in the package. If the money that the buyer lays down shows for Itself, why should not the food that he Is to got in return show for Itself, as to what It Is and how much there Is of it? , I think you over estlmste the Inconven venlence and cost to you of branding these packages. You can use stickers. You can have stickers printed end theae stickers with their definite and open statement can be pasted over the Indefinite and uncertain atatement now on your packages. He port of Prlsoa Association.

The local authorities arrested one Dodds at Central City recently. Dodds was a day laborer at Wood River, with a wife and five children, only one of whom was able to support himself. He left his home with the declared intention never to re turn. A charge of wife desertion was pre ferred and Dodds was in due time brought before Judge Paul of the district court. He there indicated that he was willing to take whatever was coming to him excepting a dceree that he go back and live with his wife and family. He related that he had sent money to his wife to ssslst in the sup port of the children, but that the money had been returned. Judge Paul wanted to know mors about the casa and summoned the wife and children to appear in court. When the latter came with the children, four rosy-cheeked little ones, there waa a pitiable scene in court, two of tho chil dren sobbing as if, from the quarrels In the home and their present surroundings, they understood it all. Dodds Is not . a vlctous-looklng man, but seems headstrong and determined not to go bark, though dis claiming any intention not to support the children. Judge Psul left the matter open until next Saturday, permitting Dodds to secure a bond tn the sum of 1300 that he will support his family. The accused rather Indicated that he will not maka any effort to give bonds. Arrested for Steallnar Grip. BEATRICE, Neb.. Oct 4.-(Speclal Tele gram.)
