Last Saturday and Monday forenoon
the surveyors Of the proposed line Of
railroads west from HiaWatha through
the county seats Of the northern tier Of
counties, was in town. The line as at
present surveyed, runs down the creek
east Of Scandal to the river bottom and
then turning north passes along the
south line of the city and crosses the
river on the south side Of the corpora
ton. This is considered the most feas-
ibIe route, and indeed one of the best
that could be chosen as it does not cut
up any valuable property as it neces-
sarily would if it went through the city
further north.
Our citizens should encourage the
project of building this road as much
as possible. We have a splendid cOun-
ty around Scandal, and there is an im-
mense amount of produce to ship from
here each year. With better market
facilities Scandal can get three times
she amount of patronage it now reCei-
YES. It would double our population,
and our merchants would be more
prosperous than they now are, which is
saying agreat deal.-Scandia Journal.

EDITORS HERALD: Please permit me
to say few words. was surprised
yesterday morning, Sept. 23rd. The
news reached me that prominent can
didate for a good office, whom had
looked upon as being a temperance
man, had been making statements for
beer, and that he had used that beer IN
lawfully. I desired to know the truth
fulness of the report. L was informed
that could ascertain correct infOrma-
ton in regard TO his having made state
ments by going to the Office Of the Pro-
bate Judge. l went, but was deprived
the privilege of seeing the statements
for July and August. The Judge gave
ME TO understand they were not public
records to be. read BY those who had
simply an idle curiosity. He may think
that 1 was not prompted by an idle
curiosity before 1 let up on this matter.
He did, however, offer to show me in
regard to any particular person, but ss
1 did not desire TO mention there and
then the name, or names, of the partys or
parties, left without the desired infOr-
nation AS Prof. c. A. Lewis, Rev.
Mr.. Grade, and indeed, 1 presume,
many other parties, (fOr they are pubic
records and should be accessible to alp
have examined them, I felt snubbed
when I was refused the privilege Of see
ing them unless on conditions, and with
the judge guiding my hand as though
it might cabbage them. However, the
Judge claimed that he had not time to
be showing them TO parties. Does the
Judge believe that he was elected TO the
office of Probate Judge in order to use
his time TO fill bis Golfers with money,
and to run a pOstOfice and 20 conduct
the business Of a jewelrY storeP AS an
officer does he, in granting PERMITS
manifest that he is ac5nated by a spirit
which Is In keeping with the good Of
our people VIII the Judge please eX-
plain what Il takes to constitute 2 good
moral character. VIII he affirm in the
ears Of the better people Of Phillips
county that he believes that all the
druggists who have beeH granted per-
mits By him TO sell whiskey and beer
have, according to the PrOhibibOry laVVs
80 good moral ChaFaCters.'

Murder in the First Degree.

Michael Rolway, a Hungarian, or
trial in our County court last week, fOI
killing Thomas j. Hogan, was found
guilty shortly before l o'clock Sunday
morning of murder in the first degree.
The crime was committed April 0 last,
at the railway station at Penn Haven.
where Hogan was in charge, and accord,
ing to the testimony of two eye wit.
nesses, the sole provocation was Hogan'S
request that Rolway leave the station.
The Hungarian moved, as if TO obey,
but suddenly turned and discharged bis
pistol at Hogan. The latter died in u few
minutes.
The prisoner testified in his owu
behalf, through an interpreter, that he
was in the room when Hogan came in
and snatched several timetables from
his hand, called him vile name, ordered
him off and struck him twice on the
breast with his fist. The prisoner moved
towards the door about five steps, turned.
walked two steps towards Hogan, who
raised knife on him ami was about ia
stab him when the accused fired the fatal
shot in self-defense and without intent
to kill.
Other witnesses sWore that Hogan had
no knife in his hand and that they did
not see Hogan strike him. The defense
was self-dcfense, and that the act, hay.
ing been committed in hot blood, was
murder in the second degree. The
counsel (NIessrs. Kiefer & Stroh) for
the prisoner, endeavored TO prove that
he was then laboring under a n delusion
| and thought he was the owner of the
station, and argued earnestly for q
| conviction in the second degree only.
At II o'clock Saturday night the case
was given to the jury and in about an
hour and Il half they returned the
verdict of murder in the first degree. A
motion was made for a new trial, which
has been set down for argument in the
first week OF August.
