They had been friends and neighbors for
fifteen years, but in an evil hour one of them
put telephone into ehe house and insisted
that the other family should make use of it
whenever occasion required. 1t was the old,
old story. After about month there was a

spective servant girls made up faces at each

minister called at one of the houses, and as
he was about to depart after hisyisit he in
quired:

In THE POLICE COURT.
Sentenced to Thirty Days Hard Labor for
Stealing Ride Whisky Cases.

John Burns, when arraigned in the pc
lice court yesterday for being drunk, said
that he had never appeared in court before,
but when his memory was refreshed he re
membered that he had just served out a
sentence in the jail. He was fined $40.
John Davis was picked up by the police
as stowaway, he having been found using
an organ box in the rear of Fritz Riepen s
saloon as place of residence, after the
philosophical style of Diogenes of old. He
said that he had gone home and had been
locked out, when he hied himself away to
the most convenient place of slumber
Fined $40.
WINS Conk, drunk, said that he had Only
taken three drinks and was on the way
home when captured. He had lain down
by the Wayside and was wrapped in the
arms of Morpheus when the police found
him. The Judge thought it proper to as
Sess him $40 a drink making $50 in all
Henry Miller, Henry Loaring, George
Fritchioff, James Cone and John Jones
were arraigned on the charge of stealing
ride over the Rio Grande Western from
p. V. Junction. All pleaded guilty to the
charge. Judge Piper remarked that he
had slight remembrance of hearing the
name of John Jones somewhere before and
suggested that John Jones might have been
in court before, but the prisoner insisted
that there might have been another man by
the same name. The gang was sentenced
to pay fine of $50 each or to serve the
city for that length of time at hard labor
The latter proposition will be accepted.
David Lloyd was up again on the same
old charge of being drunk. On being
asked what name he had given into the
court he said he had given David Lloyd,
as that was the only name he had in his
possession to give. He stated that he in
tended to go to the country to get away
from liquor, whereupon the Judge dealt len
iently with him and suspended sentence,
stating, however, that the full penalty
would be melted out if he was ever brought
before the court again.
The case of Harry Come, charged with
selling liquor on Sunday, came up. The
testimony in the Gemmill case was ad-
mitted and motion made to discharge the
defendant, which was overruled Case set
for the Goth inst.
Evidence was taken in the case against
Tufts and Siade, charged with selling in
toXicants on Sunday in open violation of
the law, and the case was continued until
Friday.
James Arnold was tried for selling liquor
on Sunday. No evidence was taken by the
defense. A motion was made that the de
PENDANT be discharged for want of sufficient
evidence, but the motion was Overruled
and fiue of $40 imposed.
Heber West and Elbridge Tufts, charged
with the same Offense, will be tried to-day. |
The case against Mrs. J. j. Murphy, for
assault, was indefinitely postponed.

pany, with a capital stock of S5O,OOOOO, now
being subscribed, with F. S. Thomas of To-
peka as president, +. e. Bakely of Mont
pelier as viCe-president, y. j. Sihley of
Montpelier as secretary, will be under the
conservative management of the directors
and an advisory board selected from the
Eastern stockholders. They will supply a
long-felt demand for better interest returns
on small savings as well as good in
vestments for those people who desire
them. The company has received permits
sion TO transact its business in this state
from the Inspector of Finance, and will be-
gin business the 2jth of September, occupy
ing rooms over the post-ofiice. Although the
company is organized under the laws of
Kansas, it is subject to the examination Of
the Inspector of Finance the same as are the
Savings Banks & Trust Companies organ
lied under the laws of this state, which
will give all who invest their money with
the company the same protection as If de-
posted in the bank. The company locates
its office in Montpelier. knowing it TO he
the most favorable location in the state for
is only one similar, now doing large and
profitable business. The plan of the insti-
tuition has been thoroughly examined by
bankers and men of financial standing in

Sioux City---Her Corn Palace.

To the Editor of the Thinking
few lines from this thriving young city
and description of the " corn palace" an
nually erected for the exhibition Of products,
would interest many of your readers, es-
pecially those who are interested in the
city's banking institutions, | will give you
few statistics. Sioux City is situated on
the Missouri River, eleven hundred feet
above the sea and about one hundred miles
north of Omaha, in the northeast corner of
Iowa just across the river is Nebraska.
Two miles north, across the Big Sioux, is
Dakota and a few miles in northeast
direction lies the corner of Minnesota.
Sioux City is reached from the east by all
the trunk lines west from Chicago. Mime
apolis and Omaha have close connections,
consequently it is reached at almost any
hour of day or night by some one of the
above-named lines, thirty-tive passenger
trains arriving daily. The same lines
handled over 81 900 car loads of freight dur
ing the year 1888. When | note the
changes wrought here in the last seven
years it seems almost incredible. At that
time it was a small western city with but
two railroad connections east. 1t had
about eight thousand inhabitants, without
foot OF paving or sewerage, not horse-car
running, no system of waterworks, neither
electric light nor gas. To-day it has fifteen
miles of cedar block paving, thorough
system of waterworks procured from
strata of gravel underlying the surface at
depth of from forty to sixty feet, to which
one hundred four drive wells lead, and
supplied by pumping station for both fire
protection and domestic purposes. II has
to-day the best rapid transit system | have
seen west of Chicago, until one reaches San
Francisco, and twenty-siX miles of motor
and horse-car lines, with charter for an
elevated railroad which will be built the
coming year. making it the third city in the
United States having such road. 1t now
has two electric light plants besides plen-
tiful supply of gas. 1t stands fifth city in
amount of meat-packing, the value of the
plants being S3,000,000. 1t had jobbing
trade with the surrounding country in
the year 1888 amounting TO over S12OO,OOO.
1t has the largest linseed oil mill
in the world, the daily capacity being two
thousand one hundred bushels OF seed.
During the years 1887 and 1888, there was
steel railroad bridge constructed across the
river to the Nebraska side, costing nearly
So 600 900, over which all roads have right
of way by paying certain fixed reasonable

reason of its very conservative views

reason of its very conservative views
on the tariff:
1.-THE Daily advertiser of Wednes-
day, in well considered article, calls
attention to the course pursued by free
trade newspapers, notably the Spring
field Republican and NeD York Euening
Post, to which might be added the NeW
York Times and Providence Journal, in
ascribing all failures in manufacturing
enterprises to the existence of a pro-
tective tariff. Every strike, every
financial difficulty, even those of mill
crowded with orders and making a
handsome profit, that became en-
barrassed owing to endorsements of
outside paper by its managers, is seized
upon, magnifed and held up with
ghoulsh glee by these journals as il
Illustrating the fallacy of protection.
Enterprising and honorable manufac-
turers are stigmatized as monopolists,
robber barons and oppressors of the
people, Notwithstanding they have and
are giving employment to thousands of
operatives at remunerative wages, add
ing to the resources of the country
and making large communities COM
Portable and happy. We agree with
our contemporary, that these attacks
upon American industry and enterprise
for the sake of bolstering up a pet
theory have gone far enough. These
wild assertions and assumptions which
have been made and almost daily re-
futed, are inexcusable blunders. In
deed they are more than blunders, they
are an outrage, for it can not be that
managers of public journals with
the means and appliances that they
have at hand can be ignorant of the real
status in many of these cases which
have been so wilfully perverted for
mere effect to advance their own pc
culiar theories. 1t is dishonest journal
ism. Intelligent readers, no matter on
which side their opinions may be ar
rayed, will so adjudge it, and be slow
to give weight to the opinions of jour-
nails prostituting their position for tenn
porary advantage or spite. The ADDER
tiSer'S conclusion that the time has
passed when reputable members of the
press can pursue such methods I'M
challenged, was reached by the Com
mercial Bulletin months ago; we have
acted accordingly and are glad to see
that our contemporary concurs in our
opinion that the practice of ignorantly
or wilfully misrepresenting facts to
further an economic hobby, has reached
the bounds of sufferance. The disre-
gard or carelessness of truth in the
statement of such journals as are above
alluded to, as a matter of business
policy, if nothing else, it will be found,
can not be pursued with impunity."
