The Battle of the Plans.

The struggle between the bondholders of the
Corbin and of the Quigley plans for the reorgan-
ization of the Toledo. Cincinnati & St Louis
narrowgauge road continues. The Quigley com
mittee claim to have the largest pledges from
bondholders to their plan, while the Corbin com
mittee, the Boston Advertiser says, are by no
means discouraged A circular has been prepared,
which will be issued Immediately, setting forth
in detail what is regarded as unfair and unjust
in the Quigley plan and what action the best
interests of the St Louis division requires. The
point is made that it is important that each di-
vision should organize separately. to preserve
their rights. and after this is done, the owners
can consolidate with any other division
if they choose The circular further
says: IF there has been any uncertainty
in the minds of bondholders as to which plan
will prevail that can be set at rest now. The
st. Louis division will be reorganized by itself.
Such steps have been taken as will, in the end,
bring this result and the sooner the st. Louis
division people sign the bondholders plan put
forth by your undersigned committee, the soon
er this property can be reorganized and put into
per mile first mortgage bonds ahead of your Sc
curlties, which can be placed at par and the
road made standard gauge and equipped, the
control and ownership of the property TO remain
with the present bondholdePs. and with certain
ty of getting a large interchange of traffic from
the Indiana, Bloomington & Western railroad,
as well as other roads, which will at once bring
you satisfactory earnings, there can be no ques-
ton about the ACCESSIBILITY of prompt action on
the part of the bondholders in accepting this
plan of their committee for the reorganization OF
the st. Louis division

Passenger Business Improying-A DISPOSE
ton shown to Maintain Rates.

Leading Western roads show an increase in
passenger traffic the last ten days aside from the
convention travel, and there has been less
trouble in regard to rates, the general verdict
being that the recent agreements regarding pas
senger fares are better observed than for some
time and passenger agents express the opinion
that there will be less trouble in the future. as
all have found that a constant disruption of rates
is demoralizing and detrimental to the earnings
of ali concerned There will, of course, be isso-
lated cases of cutting. but they not likely to
be of any extent, specially in the present sltua-
ton A trunk-line official, who is as we'll in
terested in several Western roads, remarked to
a reporter of the New York Post: I'VE have
grown tired of fighting battles in which all come
out wcrsted, and think the recent agreements
regarding freight and passenger rates were made
in good faith, and will be more closely observed
than any previous contracts, as We all find that
we have lost money by attempting to dictate to
each other about rates to certain points, division
of business, territory, etc, and are supposed TO
be less tenacious about enforcing rights when we
are compelled to sacrifice our profits to attain
our object

Preventing Tax Collection.

The district attorney has been instructed by
Attorney general Brewster to institute suits to
prevent the collection of taxes on the lands
owned by the Miami Indians, in Allen, Tppeca-
noe, Huntington and Miami counties, where
they have been compelled to pay taxes for years
and proceedings will also be begun for recover
ing all that has been collected, Under the terms
of the treaty with the Indians these lands are
not taxable, but in the counties named they have
been required TO pay the assessments the same
as citizens. The matter first came to the notice
of the Interior Department in 1880

The milking qualities of different breeds of
cows were discussed at the morning session of

A Glimmer of Better Times.

The Pennsylvania railroads exhibit for April
is the most favorable for any recent month, an
increase Of 1914, 500 in gross earnings and a de-
crease of $l32, 900 in operating expenses being
reported. This is the first gain, in fact,
in four months, and the largest, both
gross and net, ever known for April,
while expenses were less than in April
either of 1882 or 1885, and the Western lines
again show little surplus, the first for the year
How important is this gain is shown by the fact
that for the four months, even with the April
gain included. the net earnings were less than in
1883, 1881 or 1880. The Western system has
never before made such poor showing. Putting
the two together. the net profits are less than in
any year of the six, with the exception of 1879
and 1892

gomery County. Montgomery c. G.
Elliott c. J-Action for an injury caused by an ur,
safe bridge The injury occurred while the act of
1881 in force, and is eonended that under that
act the superintendent of roads and not the county
commissioners is the party against whom the action
should be brought. Bridges belong to the coun-
ty, not to any ministerial officer, and
with the right of ownership goes the
burden of responsibility. The duty of keeping
bridges safe rests upon the county and although the
specific act of negligence may be committed by one OF
its officers the right of action is against the county.
The act OF 1881 does not take from the county board
governing power. The board retains general author
ity over all county affairs. The superintendent is a
subordinate ministerial officer. charged with the per-
formanee of specific duties and if he is negligent the
county responsible, under the rule that the princi
pal must answer for the act of the agent (S7 Ind,

A CYCLONE IN OH1o.-Shortly
before 5 O'Clock Sunday morning
last, destructive cyclone passed
over Montgomery and Green coun-
ties, Ohio, devastating everything
in its course. 1t appears to have
originated near Woodburn, small
town ten miles south Of Dayton.
An eye witnesses describes it as
appalling in it's fury. authen-
tic statement is that the cyclone
was formed by q union Of two
slight storm clouds from the south
and northwest, which immediately
assumed the form Of water spout,
rising and descending like waves
Of the sea, and destroying every
thing in its way. Its path was
fully one-eight of R mile wide, the
storm moving over the country
like an immense cloud Of smoke,
while everywhere in it's course the
air was filled with trees and ruins
of houses. Forests were moved
down like weeds, fences DESTROYED
for miles, and it is estimated that
in one county at least 20 residen-
ces are in ruins.
At Alexanderville. six miles
south Of Dayton, several persons
are known to have been injured,
and one lady is reported to have
been killed.
At Carrolton the Friends paper
mill and other buildings were bad
ly damaged, and numbers of resi-
dences destroyed.
Near Woodburn two farm hands
reported missing. A child was
caught in the cyclone carried 200
yards and dropped to the earth
slightly injured.
In the neighborhood Of Morris
burg the damage is heayy:< One
freak Of the cyclone was that in
Dayton and five miles Sonth of the
city there was rain and hail, while
still further South there was rain
and no hail, still further south hail
and no rain, and in some sections
OF the country devastated there was
neither rain nor hail.
From Carrolton the cyclone took
a direct easterly course, and it's
force was not in the least spent
when it reached jamestown, q
thriving village Of 800 Oinhabitants.
Two-thirds Of the town was com
pletely ruined. Six persons were
killed. Several persons are badly
wounded Hundreds of people are
turned out of homes. No estimate
Of the damage is possible.

Hydrophobia.


Z. One Of our old citizens, who re-
members DR.. Goodman as an en-
incnt physician more than a gener-
alton since, requests the Courier
journal to publish the following
from the New York Herald. Our
readers would Go we'll to cut it out
and preserve it: -
Noticing your remarks under
the head "Hydrophobia Remedy"
| enclose a" copy Of celebrated
"Goodman remedy" The writer
was treated with it in Philadelphia
40 years ago by DR.. Goodman, in
whose family the remedy remain
ed a secret for many years, and I
request that in the interest of hui
manity you will give eitcirculation. it
Yours truly, 6.
THE CURE.
A dose for horse or COW
should be about four times as
great as for person. 1t is not
too late to give the medicine any
time before the. spasm comes on.
The first dose for person is one
and one half ounces Of elecampanc
root, bruised, put in a half pint Of
milk, reduced to one half by boil
ing, then take all at one dose in
the morning, fasting until after
noon, or at least, very light diet
after several hours have elapsed.
The second dose the same as the
first, except take two ounces of
the root; third dose same as the
last, to be taken every other day.
Three doses are all that are need |
ed and there need be no fear.
This l know from my own ex-
perience, and I know a number of
other cases where it has been en-
tirely successful. This is no guess
work. These persons that / al
1udc to were bitten by their own
rabid dogs, that had been bitten
ny rabid dogs and were pcnncd ND
to see if they went mad; they did
go mad, and did bite the persons.
This remedy has been in use in
and about Philadelphia for 40
years or more with great success,
and is known as a Goodman rem
cay. | am acquainted with ply
Slcian who told me that he knows
OF It's use for more than 80 years,
but never knew case that failed
where it was properly administer
rd. Among other cases he men
toned was where a number of
COWS had been bitten by mad
dog; to half the number they ad-
ministercd this remedy, the other
half not; the latter all died with
hydrophobia, while those that
took the elecampane and milk
showed no signs Of the disease.
