The career of Joseph Pulitzer. the
proprietor of the New York World, has
been somewhat remarkable. From the
profits derived from the World and
other investments. it is said,by one who

possession of property of the value OF
s7,5CO.0OO. This must make him the
second richest editor in the United

farmer something more than the cob
for his share of the corn crop. but when
it comes to enforcing it's requests, 1t

The commissioners make their report
and draw their pay with the utmost
regularity, and have been known to
travel over some line of road in Il spe-
cial car, and that's all. The Signal
does not object to the commissioners.
They do all the law requires, and the
expense. while entirely unnecessary,
can be borne by the territory; but the
people need a commission clothed with
power enough to put the great back
sinche on the railroad companies and
see that they tote fair'' With the peo-

PRISONER RELEASED.

George linn, who was arrested few
weeks ago with three or four others who
were charged with belonging to band OF
house breakers, was released yesterday. j.
N Dixon, who had joined the gang and
acted the part of detective, in some way
has disappeared and as he was the main wit
ness against linn, the state were compelled
to withdraw their case.
The last seen of Dixon was a few nights
after the arrest He was then circulating
on the streets with tough set Of lads who
were known to be working for the release OF
linn 1t is the opinion of some that he was
bought off if they could do it with a
small sum but if it took very much
it would be considered cheaper to
feed him a small dose OF sandbag or some
thing OF that sort.
A gentleman who had q conversation with
Dixon few days after the arrests were made,
states he said he was not afraid OF linn, but
il he was released one Of them would get
killed He thought linn had made one at
tempt to kill him, but he being on the alert,
set him to running and thus saved his own
