Round TRIP TICKETs.-The Chicago,
& st. Paul Co. have recently
adopted the plan of selling round-trip
tickets at reduction from regular rates.
For instance, the regular fare from Austin
to St. Paul or Minneapolis is $405. The
new round trip rate Is 46.90-a saving of
$1.2o over the old single trip rate. This
IS a wise action on the part Of the Co.,
and that increased receipts will be the re-
suit we have no doubt.

AN OMAHA OUTRAGE.



Last night it was currently rumored in
legal circles in this city that the grand
jury was holding under advisement a start
ling charge made against a prominent ex-
officials of this city and that in all proba-
bility true bill would to day be present
ed against the offender. It is said that the
Indictment will show the guilty party
while in office had under his official super
vision the case of one Ada Shanks who
was detained as witness against her
uncle james Mckinney charged
with incest On her person; and who at
the time had left her and gone to
Montana According to the facts as pre-
sented to the grand jury this city official
visited Miss Shanks in Jail, and persuading
her that she was in imminent danger of
going to the penitentiary and that her only
way of escape lay through him, induced
her to yield to his desires, upon the prom
ise of speedily releasing her from impris-
onment He worked so thoroughly upon
her fears that she finally consented, and
late at night she was turned over bv the
iailer to his care and taken by the ex-
official to a house of ill-fame, where
she remained all night with her
deceivers. In the morning she ex-
pected to be released, but was given
in charge of policeman and
returned to the county Jail while the city
official laughed in his sleeve at the man
ner in which he had prostituted his office
to crafty his brutal desires ct the expense
of an unfortunate young woman.
Some startling developments duplicating
several prominet citizens and a somewhat
notorious lawyer have also come out in
connection with the case which reveal a
depth of depravity among sworn guardians
of the law which is hideous to.contemplate
The story is a long one and painfully in
teresting, but any publication of the
details would be premature in advance of
the finding of true bill by the grand
jury
