THE RAILWAY WON.
II IL way Railways Have In
these Day n iii Court.

DES MoINES, Iowa, April 14.-Judgc
Holmes has rendered decision in the
Leslie station case, involving the power
of the railway commission to enforce its
orders through the medium of the courts
The case was dismissed being a decided
victory for the railway company.
On the line of the Dcs Moincs and Kan
sas City road are two stations, OsccOla
and Van Vert, fourteen miles apart.
AT the former point the Chr
cago, Burlington and Quincy crosses and
at the latter the keokuk & Southwest
ern. About midway between these
points was Leslie, also sidc-track called
Philipsburg. north of Leslie. The rail
road claimed there was more business at
PhilIipsburg than at Leslie Therefore,
the company closed the station at Leslie
and opened new one further south. The
citizens appealed to the commission
crs who decided that the station must
be reopcned. The company refused on
the ground, first, that the railway com
missioners had no power to make such
an order; second, that the court has no
jurisdiction to enforce the order, and,
third, that the company was not guilty
OF failure to perform its public duty, On
he two law points, the court sus-
tained the commissioners; on the last
question Of fact il did not.

A CURE FOR WARTS.
Register Mackey, I'm His Youth,
was a "DOCtOr."

The truth is more or less mighty ant
in the end generally CONES out at the
large end of the horn.
And thus it transpires that !. J.
Mackey, Buncombe's popular and polite
register of deeds, was in his early DAYS, a
"conjuror," as it is called by the supersti.
tlous darkcys.
This fact was brought out few DAYS
ago, A well dressed gentleman entered
the registers Office, and after shaking
hands with Mr.. Mackey, with whom he
had ATTENDED school years ago, told that
gentleman he had come to town to have
him remove several warts which had
grown on the hand of little girl who
was with him.
Mr.. Mackey turned slightly red, and
declared to his old friend that he was
neither wart doctor or a corn doctor.
But his friend would not he put Of in
this summary style and launched out into
a glowing description of the manner in
which Mr.. Mackey SO efIc,tuallv removed
troublesome wart for him wears ago,
when they attended the dear little old
school house in he dell"
This is the style in which Mr.. Mackcy
disposed OF the warts as told bv the
friend: "fle told me to gather as many
Sassatras roots as could hold between
my thumb and lore6ngcr. Then
he took them one at time
and trimmed each root, chanting a
low, wicrd dirgc-likc tune during the op-
Grafton. When the roots were all trim
med Mr.. Mackey told me to take them
and bury them under fiat rock within
thirty-two feet of rabbit gnaw.' fol-
lowed his instructions to the letter and
the warts left. | want my old friend
to practice his art for this little girls
benefit"
Mr.. Mackev remarked that he rcmcm-
bered the words to the dirge, but had
forgotten the tune. Nevertheless he said
nc would make the effort and giving the
little girl an encouraging pat on the head
said "All right, sissy, you bring me the
sassatras roots and I'll make my might
lest efforts to take your warts off,"
And the couple left, happy in the be-
ginning of the end
Yesterday evening the little girl reap
pcared in the registers office and Mr..
Mackey went through the operation,
meanwhile chanting in a low tone and
standing first on one foot and then on the
other. After each wart had been rubbed
with a sassafras root the little girl was
told to bury them and when they rottcd
so would the warts.
