country one death in every three is from
Consumption. This can be, and should
be avoided; our people are tho careless

The Prohibitionists will probably
control the Republican state convention
in Iowa. The choice of delegates has
proceeded far enough to make this re,
suit evident. The extremists will hard
ly be numerous enough. though, TO de-
feat the denomination of Governor Sher-
man, bat they viii doubtless dictate
the platform. This will demand prohi-
bition by statute law or by constitutional
amendment. The denomination of
Judge Day. of the supreme court, who
voted in favor OF nulIifying the late
amendment. will be defeated. and ex-
SsnatOr McDill probably named for his
place. It will be interesting to watch
and see what the result of placing the

AN IMPORTANT VICTORY FOR
THE SANTA FE.

Topeka Commonwealth: kilograms
from Denver Thursday conveyed the in
formation that In the now famous case
of the Denver s. New Orleans railroad
company vs.. the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fs railroad company affairs have
taken a new turn. II will be remember
ed that after the decree from the u 8.
circuit court, requiring the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe to exchange busi-
ness with the Denver 8 New Orleans on
exactly the same terms as those given
the Denver & Rio Grande, the latter
company proceeded 10 strike its rival a
death blow by the very simple means
of so reducing rates on passengers and
freight as To make the business unproft-
able to its rival as well as to itself Pas
senger fares between Denver and Pueblo
were made 70 cents, and freight was car
ried at five cents per hundred, and
this was accepted by the Denver & Rio
Grande company on all through tickets
and bills of lading. When this was
done, the Denver s. New Orleans. see
ing its occupation gone, or rather seeing
its remuneration gone, began proceed
ing, before Judge Hallett, charging the
Santa Fe company with contempt of
court on the allegation that the money
spparenily lost by the Denver q Rio
GKande was handed back to that COM
pany Ia some surreptitious manner by
the Santa Fe. Representatives of the
Santa F'e showed cOncluslveIy by an In
surmonntable series OF aaldaVits thai
such was not the case. Judge Halletl
held. however, that afildayIts to the con-
trary notwithstanding. collusiOn must
exist, and that the Santa Pc company
was head over heals in contempt. Last
week rehearing was had before Judge
McCrary. General Solicitor Peck of
this city making an extended oral AZ
gument. Judge McCrAry rendered his
opinion yesterday. He reversed Judge
Hallslt In every particular. except an
enimpOTtant baggage matter, which
the Santa Fee company conceded long
ago by doing as s matter OF accommodA-
ton what Judge HAllet wished them t.
do rs a matter of legal obligation. This
Is clean sweeping victory for the Santa
Fe, and leaves the Denver & New Or
leans and Its friend Judge Hallett in
a very sad plight. 1t cannot be made TO
be seen otherwise than that the honora-
BILE judge has allowed his local afilia-
tiOns and preIudices to out weigh his
judgment of law In all his relations 10
this case. The Commonwealth con-
graduates the Santa Fe on its victory.

The troubles in the Creek Nation
which have caused SD much bloodshed
are of long duration. Far generations
the Creeks have had n sort OF double
headed government, the two bands of
which It Is composed having each its
own chieR. while The leaders were TO act
together In tribal matters. II happened.
however. during the late war for the I'M
lon, that the two bands were divided in
sympathy and action. one taking part
with the government and the other with
the s1ath. At the close Of the war IL was
suggested that the dual authority should
be done away with. and the entire Greek
Nation united under = single executive
who should govern according 20 . writ

which happened 5000 Aller, his follow

other candidate. and were again defeat
