The decision of the Supreme Court Of the
United States yesterday touching the vexed
question of the right of railroads to charge
more for the shorter than for the longer
haul must have the effect of strengthening
the hands of those members of the Forty
ninth Congress who favor the prohibition
by federal law of the unjust practice. The
court decided, it is true, that Illinois could
not regulate commerce between points with
i'm its limits and New York, because such
commerce Is interstate commerce and sub
iect. therefore to regulation only by the
Federal Legislature, but it is intimated that
such regulation would be just and should
be undertaken by Congress A strong mi
nority of the court even held that as Con-
gress has not vet legisated on the subject,
Illinois had the power to regulate charges
on interstate commerce on its own railroads
and within its own limits, ne matter where
the traffic came from or what was It's desti-
nation. The net effect of the decision is, it
must be confessed. 20 restrict somewhat the
States power, but its general drift is such

SENATOR KENNA'S GREAT SPEECH.
The Effort Universally Commended as
JtIdfctOuS, Timely and Effective.

The great subject of conversation among
Democrats, yesterday, was the address de-
livered at the Opera House, Wednesday
evening, by United States Senator John f.
Kenna. On all sides could be heard words
of commendation and approval, the COM
plimentary rem arks coming in some instan-
ces from very unexpected quarters. The
sentiments to which the distinguished ora
tor gave utterance seemed to appeal with
exceptional and peculiar force to the whole
people of this country, their appreciation
not being restricted to any particular sec
ton or class, and the language, reasoning
and straightforwardneSs employed from the
opening to the close enabled every one,
whether present at the meeting or perusing
his remarks in print, to at once comprehend
and apply forcibly aud effectively the points
made. Even Republicans with DISPOSE
ton TO find fault, were at loss to specify
wherein the speech was lacking in great
qualities, and all classes and conditions
united in esteeming the address an able

CAS- christian Mr.. Hughes was active

of demonstration, he was yet susceptible Of
deep and strong emotion. And he was pos
sessed of great decision and positiveness in
his opinions, which he was always ready to
maintain.
His spiritual condition during his long
weary lingering illness was lovely and com

in his Saviour became brighter and clearer
with each days sufieringS, and his pety
showed itself so evidently in the sweet pa
thence and meekness with which he endured

Growth Of a Big Book.

Some years after, an addition was
made of 1900 pictorial illustrations,
table of synonyms, and an appen-

to use. A few years afterwards
came an entirely new revised edit
ton of large size, with 5000 pictor-
ial illustrations, then, after an inter-
val of a few years, Biographical
Dictionary of nearly 10000 names,
and supplement Of nearly 5000
new words were added, and now
there has come a most valuable ad-
dition, A Gazetteer of the World,
of over $4,000 titles. The work is
now not only the Dictionary, par
excellence, but a Biographical Die
tionary, Gazetteer of the World
and a great many other good things

Mistaken, and Shot For a Deer.

Mr.. J. W. Phillips brings us the
sad news Of the shooting of Elsie
Perham, over on Thompson Creek
on Thursday, of last week, he being
mistaken for deer, by a comrade
1t appears that Elsie was going
over to coal basin from his fathers
place, and as usual took his rifle
with him, expecting to run across
some game along the trail. About
the same time Douglass Wilson
went out on hunt, and had shot
and wounded deer and con-
tinued to follow up it's trail.
Looking through the brush he
saw an object, and taking it to be
the deer, he fred his rifle, shoot
ing Perham in the back. RUM
ing to the object, he found, to his
horror, he had mistaken Elsie for
the deer.
Elsie, himself, had shot the deer
which Wilson was persuing, had
cut its throat and was in the act of
raising up, when Wilson fired
the fatal shot. As Wilson ap-
proched, Elsie exclaimed "You
have killed me. There's my knife;
pick it up" and then expired.
When Wilson had to bring the
terrable news to Elsies father and
mother, who live on a ranch up
Suoth Thompson Creek, not far
from where the accident occurred.
His remains were brought home
and inferred on Sunday, last, along
side of his brother, Dick, who died
of consumption about 13 months
ago The deepest of sympathy is
felt by our citizens at the sad fate
of one Of our old timers, who was
yet young in years, also for the
family, in their terrable affiction.
1t is just about six months since
Daniel, another of his brothers,
was accidently drowned, and now,
the sad fate of Elsie will make it
weigh heavily upon his aged par
ents.
