Last year Paddy Conway purchased
some cattle near Swectwnier which
afterwards came into dispute in the
suit Of Garrad vs., Garnrd. 1t was
claimed by one side that the Sheriff
had possession, when Conway took
the stock and was brn0ght down to
Hawthorne al the Instance vi thai party
TO the suit. In the quaint aud curious
language OF the law he was charged
with stealing the cattle and II may be
that he did ina legal sense, but when
he bought them he was ignorant of the
fact TINT he was n wicked transgressor
Having purchased iu good faith lie
WAC considerably disturbed AT the
charge although II Was apparent 10
everyone that he was not cattle litter
The case WAS given 10 the Grand Jury
whtre it was quickly dissmissed and
AS notice OF tho proceedings appeared
at the time, the circumstances are
related IN order that 1t may be under
stool that he was not even at the time
suspected OF being dishonest bat thai
Que party to 4 law suit thought he had
committed n legal indiscretion.

Fitch Denney. James S. Rodgers ana William

court against Henry A. Woodwork and A.
Koontz asking for judgment of 81, 900 for goods
bought by the defendants, who are residents of
Ohio, but do business at Walkerton, ST. Joseph
county, this State. The complaint alleges that
Wordsworth purchased the goods. and refused
to honor the bill when it came DUE and in order
to prevent the plaintiffs from collecting 1t. he
conveyed to Koontz all his personal property,
and also mortgaged to him all real estate he
owned. The transfer, they complain. shows
fraud on its face and the suit is brought jointly
against Wordsworth and Koontz.

ton, as the activity and prosperity of the rail-
roads is fairly accurate reflex of the activity
and prosperity in the general trade of the coun-
try.
The horse men are complaining a good deal of
the manner their horses are handled when
shipped in here from country stations 1t is sell
dom horse comes in which is not more or less
bruised. and in some cases seriously, no matter
how carefully they are loaded. Much of the
blame is placed on the trainmen. who handle the
cars regardless of the character of freight they
are handling. little care when coupling cars
would % much to alleviate this matter.
At the annual election OF directors for the
Louisville, Cincinnati 81 Dayton Railway Com
pany. the following board was unanimously
elected; J. G. Fawcett, of Louisville, president;
Charles f. Gunckle, of Middletown vice -presi-
dent; Paul j. Sorg, of Middletown; VIM. Beck
EFT, of Hamilton; George A. Evans of New
York; Joseph P. Pennington. of New York, sec
retary;' James B. McCrellis, of Vevay, and
Charles A. Korbly, of Madison. The contractors
are preparing to begin work at once.
Investigation shows that the shading of rates
is not confined to grain or property that can be
shipped by part rail and part water routes. 1t
is alleged that the Blue line is cutting rates
from this territory several classes of freight.
If this be true it is certainly unfortunate. as so
large per cent. of the grain has gone by the
water routes. and other classes of freight are
what the roads have had to depend upon to make
little money from. 1t is great mistake if any
one thinks that the handsome earnings the roads
are showing is from their through business.
This cuts small figure. It is from the large
local traffic the increased earnings come. Not
for years has the local traffic been SO heavy and
so much of it long hauls.
The Philadelphia Times says "It is now GER
tain that the tedious senseless and costly delay
in the reorganization of the Reading corpora
tons is practically at an end. President Gowen
has simply exhausted his fertile but fancy
sources, and has finally yielded to the inevitable.
He had neither plan nor money, or certainly no
plan with money, to accomplish reorganization.
and he gracefully retired when he could neither
advance nor stand still, with the explanation
that he had gained the president and pre-
vented foreclosure. when, in point of fact NJ.
Corbin, the new prospective president. deserted
Gowen and acted with the syndicate, months
ago. and foreclosure is just as certain now as it
has been at any time in the past

Prohibition in Kansas.

Atchison (Kan. Globe
The great effort in Atchson at present on the
part of the Truly Good is not to save drnnkards
and to make men sober. but to enforce the pro-
hibitory law. Not a word is said about the
evils of strong drink not An effort is made to re-
form anybody; not thing is done to lead any
body into the paths of sohriety and virtue. The
whole. and only aim of the Truly Good is to
drive people out Of town and keep up the work
of prosecuting somebody. This is the strangest
kind of reform work ever known. Half the
time spent in prosecution devoted to winning
men from their cups would be productive of a
hundred times more good.
