"You can say in your paper tomorrow

Mr.. Hickman called at the Office of the

the statement printed IL yesterl lay 5
Morning News, which is as follows;
II came down the street at a quarter
to o'clock, l judge, and was stopped by
Mckee and was talking with him on
another subject besides that Of the tax
matters. While we were talking Mshaffy
came up and said: George amt it
almost time to 90 upstairsT Mshaffy
said: We can soon open the
door if you want it open
Mckee replied "Dougherty will
soon be here Then / said George,
you better take ride until the proper
time. Then Mahatfy said: 4 suppose if
you were collector you would do it,.
replied If was collector / would stop
you and Mcconnell from being back of
the railing Mahaffy said We have as
much right back there as Pat Neary and
John Dickey.
by this time Dougherty came and
called me aside, but what we were talk
ing about was something entirely differ
ent to the taxes / might possibly have
asked him how he was getting along.
Finally pulled out my watch and found
it was o'clock and told Dougherty it was
time to 90 up stairs. AS to my trying to
hold either Dougherty OF Mckee lack
from collecting taxes, the published story
is entirely false"
The above statement Mr.. Hickman car
prove by witnesses, and their evidencl
win snow also that Mr.. Mahatfy over
stepped the bounds of truthfulness snC

A GREAT INVENTION
That May Revolutionizs Railway Traffic In

That May Revolutionizs Railway Traffic in
the Near Futu q.
The most remarkably railway In the
world is at Laurel. Nd. 1t is circular, like
a race trace. and two miles in circumfer-
ence. A clumsy iron motor half as tall as
a man and pointed at one end, darts out
along the narrow line when the operator
touches a button. IL Is out of sight
in a second. In a minute it reap
pears, having made the two miles. 1t IL
the electric railway system invented by
David g. Weems Mr.. Weems says that
a rate of four miles a minute can be at
tanned. In fact, there will be no limit to
the speed except the capacity OF the cars
and track. A double track line from Chi
cago to New York could be built for about
Sl2,000,000. The road with a twelve-inch
gauge and cars two and half feet wide,
would be inclosed in barbed wire and
would cross populous places above grade.
Nine stations would furnish electric power.
Each train would carry about a ton of ex-
press and mail matter between New York
and Chicago in FIVE hours. Milwaukee
would get Chicago papers half an hour
from the presses, and New York morning
dailies would reach indianapolis at break
fast time. Ten trains an hour could easily
be run. At first no attempt to run pas
senger cars will be made, but it is sure to
follow. The cars, heated and lighted with
electricity, would be about three feet wide
with a single seat. The traveller could leave
Chicaeo early in the morning. lunch in
New York, sDend the afternoon on Broad
way or Wall-st., dine at Delmonico's,
and reach Chicago again in time to retire
at midnight. He would, moreover, travel
in safety, because the construction OF the
track would render it impossible for a
train to become derailed, and automatic
appliances would obviate all danger of
collisions. The express and mail trains
would require no engineer or train crews,
for the trains would be operated by the
train dispatcher at the end of the line, who
could see by an indicator the location OF
all trains. The least injury to the track
or accident to the train would also be
shown him.
