John n. Egan and G. II. Holdridge Not Guilty
Of Violating the Interstate Commerce Law.

ST.. Paul, July 9.-In the case of the
United States VS.. J. NJ. ERan and C. III.
Holdridge. of the Chicago. st. Pau 81 Kan
sas City railroad, for the alleged violation
of the lnterstate-commerce law in selling a
block of 5000 st. Paul-Chicago tickets to
Charles FL. Peleh at a rate of 81 each. Judge
Thayer this morning instructed the jury to
find for the defendants. The evidence in
the case shows that at the time the alleged
unlawful sale of 5000 tickets the Chicago.
st. Paul & Kansas City railroad had on
sale and publicly advertised for sale two
kinds of tirst-class tickets from st. Paul to
Chicago. one termed an unlimited" ticket,
which was sold at S11.50, and one termed a
limited" ticket, which was sold for 81.
Both were accessible to every one who
chose to buy them without discrimin alton.
The government contended that the tickets
sold ats each were in reality unlimited, and
hence that the sixth section of the inter
state act was violated. The court, how
ever, was satisfied from tho evidence in the
case that there was u di ference between
the tickets. the unlimited class. under the
cOmpany's regulations, being entitled to
BfOp-0yer privileges, while the company, IN
the case of the limited tickets, reserved the

tinuous passage, although the tickets. as
sold, were not punched inf the margin 80 as
to limit the period use. The Judge. there
fore. instructed the jury to aeqnit the de-
Iendants on all counts OF the Indictment.
In his instructions to the jury Judge
Thayer, after reciting the facts in the case.
said: As the published schedule of the
rates did not specify what was meant by
first-class limited tickets, and as the com
mission did not see fit, whent the schedule
was filed, to require the company to explain
what was meant, or what privileges the
holder would be entitled to, no case has
been made out in my opinion. emitting the
government to 60 TO the jury. The evil
dence, in my judgment. would not support
a conviction on either count of the indict-
ment. The railway company in question
advertised to sell limited tirst-class tickets
from ST. Paul to Chicago for 81. The de-
fendants have sold tickets bot those
points for 81. WHICH were. in fact, limited
as to privileges. by requiring q continuous
journey, If tue railroad company elected
to enforce that requirement.. 1t may have
been in this sense that the term limited
was used in the published schedules filed
fcient evidence that it was not used. The
difficulty encountered In this case could
probably be remedIed by requiring railroad
companies, when they file rate schedules,
to specify clearly what is meant By the
term limited tickets instead OF leaving
railroad companies to put their construc-
ton on the term and the public to specu-
late as to its meaning"

Peoples Party In Kansas Decides to Make q
Straight Fight for the spoiis.
TOPEKA. Kan, July 9.-About fifteen
prominent Peoples party leaders in session
here, after discussing the proposition made
by the Democratic State central committee
recently to fuse with them in the local
county elections in Kansas this year and to
unite on an electoral ticket in opposition
to the Republicans next year, declined to
fuse. and a statement declaring against
such action was ordered published in the
Alliance Advocate. the official State organ.
This is regarded as very significant in Kan
sas. and settles the fact that there will be
no combine on q presidential electoral
ticket by the Peoples and Democratic
parties next year. as was the desire of the
Democratic State Genital committee. Lead
ing Democrats are very indignant at the in
dependent action of the Peoples party. and
now declare that il is war to the knife
from this on.

and the loaning of money by the govern

Wild schemes. and the free coinage of silver

for Indiana on business and stayed a few
days. The meeting uRs not nearly through
but was carried on by a pastor during the
time the real conversions of the meeting
took place. The contributions were meager.
LII Was u big struggle TO keep the meeting
going. When il was closed the church
was $500 In debt. with no results worth
mentioning. The church got together $500
Tor the evangelist and paid his board bill
of slG0. He demanded $1,000. 1t was re-
fused. lie offered to knock of $50 and
take $50 IN full satisfaction. The church
bad raised all 1t could. Rev. Dixon then
sent a claim for S25O to a lawyer with in
structlons TO sue on it. The lawyer would
not take the case. and the reverend evan
gelist withdrew his suit. Mr.. Williams

low me few words in our paper.
When ! say "our paper" l mean
that nm an Alliance man and
that the paper is defender Of that
class Of farmers. If there is any
thing am in favor Of it is honor
and justice to our fellow-man.
What are the grand principles that
are laid down for us to go by2 II
we had a member that would vary
from those principles / would
surely cast my vote to suspend
him from our lodge.
What makes me write is this: |
have read a great deal in The
CHEFTAIS in regard to the COW
law and some of our fellow men,
bers have censured the late coun-
Gil for passing a law which some
no doubt think is unjust. But let
US look into and examine the con-
dition of our affairs and see IL these
members had any just cause for
passing the So called COW law. At
the time Of the passage OF this bill
our treasury was emptied by the
paying out of the $500, 900 to the
people; therefore it looked as
If something had to be done to
enable the wheels of our govern
ment to roll on. ! know there
were members who belonged TO
that body that were as far frdr.
doing wrong as any of those who
censured them.
This bill was passed the middle
OF the regular session; il was law
one month aud half before coun.
Gil adjourned. Why was It that
those who so bitterly oppose it
did not ask for a reconsideration
Of the law before council ad.
journed ? think that would have
been the proper time TO reconsider
the matter, without putting the
Cherokee Nation to a great deal Of
unnecessary expense by calling a
council now.
