WE think it an i'll omen that it should
inous testimony in order to; fix the
amount that should be allowed as com.
pensation to the Trustees of the South
ern Railroad. 1t gives to the matter the
aspect of salary grabbing. 1t looks as
though high-minded and disinterested
citizens were looking sharply to their
private Interests while serving the city
in this railroad trust. freams Of slegal
cap" are to be consumed in this matter
OF proving an account, it might be in
ferred tnat the account was hard to be
proved; and that wherever there was SO
much testimony required, there must be
great doubt about the correctness of the
claim.
When this matter of compensation was
agitated some three years ago, it was
then the common statement that, out oil
the abundance of their public spirited
ness, these Trustees would serve the city
In this behalf for merely compensatory
salaries, without any idea Of speculative
charges, as in money making business.
This was the common understanding
among the people. Nor was it an unrea-
sonable conclusion. Now, any salary
coming within the scope of that under
standing will need no dispositions to
warrant it's allowance by the
proper authorities. Nobody will object
TO it. But when a claim for compensa-
tion to'the Trustees has to be fortified
by an unlimited amount of written testi.
mony, it is apt to strike common people
: as though the love OF the salary is even
stronger than their love OF the city. Ii
begins to be seen now that the looseness
and the "crookedness" of legislation
upon thatrailroad enterprise has brought
the whole thing into most complicated
and perilous condition. 1T needs tight.

Route No. 10.

We understand that it is in contem-
plation to institute proceedings de-
clare forfeiture OF the franchise of the
street railroad known as 'sroute No. 49,"
for noncompliance with the Ordinance
by which its franchise is conferred. The
course pursued by the company in re-
gard to its injuries to Hunt street and
Gilbert avenue is simply infamous. Nor
is the neglect Of the city authorities in
relation to. these outrages upon the pub
lie deserving of any other epithet. Those
great thoroughfares have been rendered
almost impossible, and altogether dan
gerous.- Accidents to vehicles are Of al
most daily occurrence upon those streets
byreason of the railroad distractions.
There is liability to accidents there
every hour, involvinglife and limb, that
may subject the city to- heavy damages.
. For the city can not exonerate itself
from responsibility by reason Of an I'M
safe condition of it's streets by saying
that it is because OF the doings of o pri.
vate corporation. That corporation is a
creature of the city's own creation, and
subject to its control. Under such cir
cumstances, a nuisance permitted, is a
nuisance committed. Aid for injuries
resulting therefrom the city can not
escape liability.
The plan suggested, of proceedings to
declare a forfeiture of the company's
franchise is perhaps quite as effectual
as any other; and will be put through
by men possessed of both means and
pluck. The nuisance has been tolerated
for three or four months; and the peo.
ple's patience is about, exhausted, as
indeed it may well be; for the outrage is
really intolerable.

dying by thousands. On the islands in tie
South Platte river he found and drove off
into the sand hills on the south side, after
great excrtiom, some ., 700 head, and of this
number less than half have since been
recovered. Their bleaching bones now
whiten the plains in the vicinity where they
were frozen and starved to DEATH and those
that were recovered were found in two diff
ferent States and four different Territories
in the Union. More than S24 600 was ex-

number of years how much the loss had
been. His books showed nearly }. 900 head
unaccounted for. No trace of chem be
yond skeletons could be found and at last
this number was charged to profit and loss

start. This large number would probably
have averaged at least $40 per head coulG

A FULL HEAD AND A BIG HEART.

Friday night, says VI. Quad, about half
an hour before midnight, a very respect
able Detroiter living on Dufiield street,
was heare feeling all over the front door
to find the door knob. His wife suddenly
pulled the door open, confronted him, and,
in iile-lke voice, inquired;
"isn't this nice state Of affairs-you
not been home since morning"
"Shoftly, darling, SHORTLY" he replied,
trying TO take her hand: five zhust got
back firm zhe races
"What races?' she demanded.
"l1-orse races he slowly replied
Had big time, an made fever hun'er'd
dollars. Coin to give you fourteen silk
dresses
"Well you should have sent me word"
she remarked, as she hung up his hat.
The promises of the dresses acted like
magic on her Imagination.
"Yes, but didn't have time" he replied.
''Feler come long in buggy, an off

"No, | never did

"That was sharp in you," she replied,
mentally planning to have four blue five

"You bez it was, !" he went on. "Well,

"Half of which, my duckey dear, you

"Er rule is if You win five hun'er'd dol

"And do you mean that you are two

squeezed.
"Zaas what mean, my darling.'
"Don't darling me, you old drunkard"
she howltd, and the policeman under tree

groans and howls he could hear ii voice cry

Geese Full of Fun.

y goose has, perhaps, the keenest appre
citation of humor of any animal, unless it
be her own arch enemy, the fox. The
writer once saw in Il little grassy paddock
some eight or ten fat and healthy pigs and
half-a-score of geese. From this paddock
a narrow, open gate gave entrance into the
farm yard, and, as evening drew on, the
geese ranged themselves in a row near this
Thermopola. Obviously supper time was
approaching, and the pigs wished to return
home to their troughs. Equally clearly
the geese had given each other the word
not to let them pass through the gate.
which they guarded, without paying toll.
First there came up Jolly, good humored
little pig, who trotted cheerfully along with
a confidence which ought to have dsarmed
criticism, till he came among the geese.
Then, with cackle and scream, every
neck was stretched to get bite at him.
and, squalling and yelling, the poor little
porker ran the gauntlet. The same fate
befell six or seven more of his brethren in
succession, each betrayiug increasing cpl
dation as he approached the fatal pass, and
made bolt through the corps de garde Of
geese, whose chattering and screeches Of
delight were almost undistinsuishable from
human laughter. At last the biggest pig
of the party brought up the rear. He was
a pink tieshed, clean young fellow, with fat
limbs and sides, and his ears were cooked,
and his tail sharply twisted in the iutelll-
gent, wideawake manner which 50 com

Josie, JOSIE
If ever Fred Holman spoke. he spoke
then from an inner room. and the little
answered quickly:

She went at once to the ro IN from which
the voice came, again the two, listening
intently, heard Fred's voice.

\ moment later the same cherry voice
spoke again.
Drink this, old fellow. So. See, here

Then another voice, oh, so very faint,
said:
Josie. Little wife,
A moment of utter silence followed and
then Josie said:
"There are lady and gentleman in the
other room, Fred, who wish to see Frank
will you see them
And Fred appearing in compliance with
this request, found his uncle vigorously
tanning Maud Chesterton with a news
paper to bring her out of fainting fit.
Before he could frame a question his
uncle said

And he obeyed.
Then as Maud's blue eyes opened with

For It's good effects liver longer;
