rHE uLINoIs RAILROAD LAW.

The above law which goes into ef-
feet July LIST. Is very stringent in its
provisions. Under 1t "more than .
reasonable rate Of compensation" Is
declared tobe an "sxtortion," pun
ishsble as follows: For the first Of
feu.e a fine Of not less than I 1000 or
more than 5000; for the second Of
Tense, $4,000; for the third and for
every subsequent offense, $4,000.
These Anes are to DO recovered on an
action for debt, in q trial by jury.
The State Board Of Warehouse and
Railroad Commissioners are empow-
cred by the Act to fix q schedule Of
maximum rates for freights and pas
sengers, said schedule when fixed and
set forth to be binding upon both the
railroad companies and the Courts.
Unjust discrimination" Is also made
an offense and punished by equally
onsrous fines. 1t Is defined to be the
charging, collecting, or receiving
for tho transportation Of any passsn-
ger or freight Of any description. for
any distance within the State, the
same or a greater amount of toll than
ID at tho same time charged, collected,
or received fer the transportation, In
the same direction, Of any passenger or
like quantity OF freight Of the same
class over a greater distance OF the
same railway" 1t is said that
Instead Of Offering resistance to this
law, the railroad companies pro.
pose to acqulesce peaceably In
Its provisions and to obey It to the let.
ter. They propose to conform their
own to the official schedule as soon as
1t Is published. The Philadelphia
Press, In an article on this subject,
says that they will, however, dispense
with palace cars, reduce their accom-
modations and "put all their appoint
ments on a cheap, and they hope, a
paying scale. They will also cease to
run half full freight cars. While &C
cepting all freight offered, cars not
loaded to their full capacity will be
run OIL a siding, there to await a COM
plets load" 1t Is obvious, that II this
course Is to be pursued by the railroad
companies In Illinois, It will cause
great delay and inconvenience. 1t Is
just as palpabie that tho companies
cannot afford to run half full freight
cars short distances, stopping at way
stations and breaking bulk. as cheaply
as they can run through trains. The
result Of the law upon Illinois trans
por,ation will be looked for a%nxiously,
aud will serve a a guide for future
legislation on this subject, which is
demanding and receiving the attention
Of our most eminent men.

A STORY.

Yesterdays San Francisco Chronicle
has an article which will cause some
excitement among Oregonians. 1t Is
based upon a story taken from the
Pittsburg Post, aud In substance Is as
follows: John Hippel was a lawyer
Of Butler county, Pennsylvania, was a
partner Of John NJ. Thompson. mar
rled an estimable lady, grew morose
and dissatisfied, deserted his wife aud
law partner, taking 5000, for which
the latter was held responsible. His
wife went to the poorhouse he came
West, made money, and in a year or
two procured a divorce. practiced in
San Francisco, but preferred Oregon ;
went to Portland and built up a tine
practice. Last Winter John Hippel
was elected to the U. 5. Senate under
the name Of John II. Mitchell. The
Chrosicle adds the following COM
meDts:
"This IL the story, and We doubt
every portion Of It. There Is a dis
crepancy as to the county Of his birth.
The Post says tho subject Of attack
was born In Butler county, while the
Washington Chronicle and the Port
land papers assert that he was born In
Washington county-sixty miles dis
tant from the homo Of John Hlppel.
or course, we cannot presume to pass
upon Senator Mitchell's career and
character prior to his arrival on this
coast, but since that time-lS80-his
social and professional reputation Is
without blot or blemish. AS a politi.
clan he Is neither better ner worse
than his fellows, and the most damag.
Ing charge that can be said of his po-
litical record Is that he Is to Ben Hol.
laday what Senator Sargent Is to the
railroad magnates Of California"
The story Is sensational enough, and
will doubtless be soon corrected.
Meanwhile, II not true, tho Pittsburg
Post may keep Its eyes open for a libel

Phoebe Items.
From m. Rscnrd OF MAY 4.

lfrOm tue NcCOEu VI uoy wi
Last Saturday night tho bodies OF
two we'll known miners Of this district
named Charles Sanborne and Gus.
Wright, both being middle aged men,
were brought Into the city from Cay
ote Springs, In Nye county. Cayots
Springs are at the foot of tho noun
tain six or eight miles west OF Bristol,
being northwest Of and about twenty
six miles from Phoebe. Daniel Hol-
land of Bristol, was passing near the
Springs when he noticed wagon tracks
going directly to them, which he fol-
lowed. Arriving at the Springs he
saw the body Of man, back up. float
ing on the water. He then ran a shovel
down to the bottom through the water
when the body Of Sanborne rose. He
then went away and reported the dis
coysry, when other parties came to
the scene, and the bodies were put Into
q wagon and brought to this city.
Each body had several bullet-holes In
It. all directed to vital parts, and San
bourne was bruised about the head,
besides being shot. Beside the Springs
was found q roll OF Nevada newspa-
pers, which Mr.. Booth, Of the Record
office, had presented to Mr.. Wright
the morning he started out, and none
Of their garments had been taken, and
none Of their camp equipments, APP
parently had been disturbed. One
highly important fact seems to stand
out In bold relief, which Is. that they
were murdered for no other purpose
than to get them out of existence.
They had gone out into the region
where their bodies were found to To-
cate what they supposed to be an I'm
mensely rich silver vein. This Is
enough to say about the horribly mys-
FERROUS affair at the present time.
The "bears" In San Francisco are
trying to make 1t appear that there Is
some doubt about the great strikes
lately reported from Phoebe. There Is
no doubt whatever that the Raymond
and Ely and Meadow Valley ComPan-
les have both. in the last three weeks,
struck richer and more extensive bod
les Of ore than were srer before de-
veloped In Ely Mining District. The
intrinsic value Of both these mines Is
three times what It Is quoted at, and
each will pay for Its stock, rs now
rated, In the next twelve months divi-
dends.
The new hosting machinery for the
Raymond and Ely Company was
shipped from San Francisco about a
week ago. 1t will be erected as soon
rs It comes to hand, and then the world
will hear moro astonishing results
from Ely mining district than ever be-
fore,

Horrible humanity.

from the Deborah Qowa) ventilator. May 81
The good old Universal doctrine that
all will DO saved, may be a good thing
TO live BY, and may do to die by. but
we sometimes think there ought TO Do
. "lake Of fire and birthstone" and .
regular firS-eatfng, forked.tailed devil,
whose business it should b to snatch
b~ald-headed, such miscreants ana
brutes In human form as we arc ABOUT
to describe.
It seems that there lives In Washing
ton township, In this county, a man
named Wertzer, 4 German mot a Bo-
hemlan, as the papers have ith who has
a wife, q COED farm. and Is surrounded
by all the comforts Of life, apparently
aud It also appears that this man and
woman had . foolish!ohlld, . girl ten
years old, who, ten years ago, was
known In the neighborhood. Al! at
once the child was missed BY the neigh
bors, and finally she was forgotten oy
all Of them, ave one Mrs.John Stefies.
Mrs. Steffes has kept her In mind for
the last ton years, and upon inquiry
about her few days ago, and getting
an evasive answer, her suspicious wore
aroused, and she made an affidavit be-
fore the proper authorities, sufficiently
strong to compel legal Investigation Of
the case. Sheriff Thompson accord
ingly called upon the family and made
inquiry regarding the missing child;
After some h%esitancy, the father LED
the officer to an upstairs apartment.
and pointed to q rude box, three and
one-half feet long by % iichcs Wide,
which contained a human beings girl
now 20 years old-wallowing In Nth,
and q sight dsfying description. The
officer returned and the Insane Com.
missioners repaired to the house OF
Wertzer to examine into the case. The
report Of the Commissioners has been
made, but we learn that the girl Is not
insane, or does not exhibit sufficient
signs Of insanity 10 place her 10 all
asylum; thus the Insane Commission
ers have no Jurisdiction In the case.
The girl Is described as q poor little
helpless, crippled.up thing-her lower
limbs being half bent and her arms
likewise crooked. She has lain In her
little box on her face, In a doubled.up
condition, until she appears moro like
an animal than a human being. The
appearance OF the child Indicates that
she was first damned into the little box
and covered up or nailed up until she
grew ill-shapcd-in fact, until she be-
came q fIightful deformity-and then
the inhupan parents were ashamed to
let people see her, and so they kept
her confined in a filthy little boz or
pen for ten years. These are the indi-
cations presented BY the appearance oil
the child and her cage. The entire
German population Of the county feel
aggrieyed, and their sense Of honor
and humanity Is shocked at the devel-
opment Of this barbarous conduct on
the part Of a German family.

SEVEN SoRRowFUL SroRTs.-This Is
what brother Forbes OF the Ne,o En-.
docment, has to say about the gam
boleers'' recently gobblsd BY the Salt
Lake Police:
1t becomes our mournful duty to re-
cord the fact, that yesterday, seven
sports were subjected to the severe
sentence of segregating the winnings,
and disgorging 800 thereof unto Jeter
the Unsuitable. The boys have been
sailing along for some time on the full
tide Of prosperity, but at last they
were coppersd. and received a call to
appear before the Doctor. They saw
1t was cases with them, and they might
as well 20 against a brace as to oppose
him, for he would beat them every
turn, so they played 1t 500 open from
soda to hook, and when they went
away they just left that amount in the
pot. Altogether, It was a pretty fair
days work. and might properly be
termed spelling the Egyptians ; for
they we're Pharaoh's hosts, whom he
got away with.

THE PRESIDENTS PRoCLAMA.
TON.

While the decision Of Judge Durcll,
U. 8. District Judge In Louisiana, In
regard to the McEnery-Kellogg Cub
ernstorial contest has been generally
condemned, not only by the Congress
sional Committee and Republican Con-
gressmen, but BY the press throughout
the Union as unjust, corrupt and out
rayeous, the action Of the President In
recognizing the decisions Of the United
States Courts as binding, and taking
steps to carry out their requirements,
will DO commended by all. 10 the
stupidity and carelessness Of Congress
the present situation may DO entirely
attributed, and 1t cannot be denied
that some immediate and strict meas
ures to enforce peace are demanded.
The President In warning citizens
to preserve the peace. and pledging
himself to carry out the orders Of the
United States Courts, simply full
fills the oath he took on being
inauguratsd, and until the decision Of
Judge Durell Is reversed by the United
States Supreme Court, as we think II
will be, he can do nothing else Blu,
recognize its authority and enforce its
orders. 10 refuse to do this would be
to nullify the power Of the Court and
to usurp judicial functions, a stop
toward despotism which the people
would not be slow to condemn. The
proclamation Is just, temperate and
timely, and will doubtless have the
effect desired. We earnestly hope that
the people Of Louisiana will be sufl-
clently patient to await the peaceful
termination of the contest, which will
probably end In the ordering by Con-
gress Of a new election, and the choice
Of a man who represents a majority Of
the people.

at some of tho statements made BY Mr.
Adams In his sulogy upon the life Of
Mr.. Seward, Is about to extingulsh the
great statesman and orator with the
contents thereof. Mr.. Adams Is ac-
cused BY many Of the lamented Lin

too much In the foreground, thereby
shadowing the acts and ability Of the

undoubtedly the fact that Mr.. Adams
