PEOPLE MUST WATCH.

Railroad Not Responsible Under Certain
Conditions.
The case of Neptune Lynch, of Horse
Plains, Mont, against the Northern Pa
cifc Railway company for $4,000 for
the loss of a leg, which has been on
trial in the United States court at Hell
ena for several days, ended in verdict
for the defendant.
When the evidence for both sides was
finished Lawyer Cullen, for she defense,
moved for non-suit. When the argu-
ments were completed, Judge Knowles
said that Notwithstanding it were shown
that the railroad had been negligent,
the person injured should exercise due
caution. On coming to railroad cross
ing it was the duty of person to look
and see if there was a train coming,
and to use his sense of hearing 1t
might be conceded that the railroad
was guilty of negligence in not sound
ing the whistle and not ringing the bell
within eighty yards of the station. Still

tributory neglect Of the plaintiff. 1t
was in evidence for the plaintiff that
Lynch did see the train and stopped his
horses, but the real cause of the trouble
was that when the engine was reversed
it made great noise and frightened
the animals, who rushed in front of
the train.
At this point the judge said the en-
CINE was reversed because the engineer
thought the team was going to pass
over in front of his train and he want
ed to do what he could to prevent the
accident. The judge said he would not
be justified in finding the company
liable He would have to instruct the
jury to find for the plaintiff.
The jury rendered verdict for the
company, as instructed by the court.

AFTER YEARS OF lNTERMENT.
Body of a Cincinnati Child Shows Re,
markable Preservation.

Body of Cincinnati Child Shows Re-
markable Preservation.
CINoNNANI, Nov. ga gray haired
mother of rs, with daughters now
grandmothers, stood yesterday and
saw her first born, boy scarcely two
years, lying in his coffin with every
feature as natural as though death had
come but an hour before. The dead
baby had lain in the grave 42 years.
Never was there so remarkable a veri-
fication of the preservation of the dead.
The child was the son of Jesse Niles, a
resident of Linewood, Ohio, who died
six weeks ago at the age of 76. The
first born boy was the only child ever
lost by Mr.. and Mrs. Niles Just before
the old man died he requested that the
body of the. child be disenterred from
the old family burying ground and
buried beside him in Spring Grove
Cemetery. The body was disenterred
by @. w. and J. L. brakes, sons-in-law
of old Mr.. Niles. Actuated by curiosity
they opened the iron basket and were
astonished to find the childs body in
perfect preservation. They took the
body to @. w. Brakes home, at Oakley,
and yesterday allowed Mrs. Niles, the
aged mother, to see it. She was
greatly effected, and with difficulty was
kept from picking up the body of her
baby to aress it. The body was re-
inferred today.

Moscow, Nov. 27.-Nolwithstandin
the loss of crops, the stringency money
crisis and great general depression now
existing, a careful and conservative
estimate of taxes already received and
those which are sure to come, Latah
county will redeem every warrant at
par and render to the state every cent
of its tax indebtedness by the second
Monday in December, the date of tax
delinquency. 1t is true, painfully so,
that many an honest farmer will be
sorely crowded to meet the collectors
demands, but the disposition exists to
make Herculean efforts to maintain the
credit of the county and to Indignantly
frown on the first cry of hydra.headed
anarchy, which has its advocates even
in Latah county. University building
tax warrants, which since the general
depression set in have found a slow
sale, have been in active demand dur
ing the past week. BY a provision of
the last general assembly, three-fourths
of mill on the general tax for three
years was set apart for building the
university. Estimating on the assessed
valuation of 1892, it will provide about
100000 of available funds. OF this
sum it will take about S63, 900 to com
plete all contracts undertaken by the
regents. Investors readily recognize
the safety and profit of investment,
buying at a reasonable discount, the
warrants themselves bearing a good,
healthy percentage from date Of
registry.
AT the opening of the second term of
the university in September President
Gault prophesied an enrolment of IT'S
students by Thanksgiving. The enroll
men ton Saturday last was TT. A close
estimate was that.

The Entire Outfit is in the Hands of
Gigantic Trust.
LARGEST IN THE WORLD
Immense Works Will BE Established at
AshtabuIa and Unnecessary Plants
viii Be Closed.

CAIoAGo. Nov. 29.-According to facts
knowledge in Chicago in recent hours,
the steel rail, structural iron and armor
plate output of the United States is now
practically in the hands of the most
gigantic trust ever organized. The Il
linois Steel Company is an important
factor in the pool and its officers sub
stantially affirm the details of the
scheme. The leading firms iu the trust,
or pool, are the Rockefellers, of Stand
ard Oil fame, the Illinois Steel Com
pany, Carnegie, Phipps b Co., the Lack
awanna Steel Company, the Bethle-
hem Steel Company, the Maryland Steel
Company and the Pennsylvania Steel
Company. These firms represent SO
per cent of the entire steel rail, struc-
tural iron and armor plate output of
the country.
This trust has been in contemplation
tor more than a year, ever since the
time when the Rockefellers first began
investing in Mesaba Iron Range prop
erty. Today they practically own the
entire range and by the opening of
navigation next season will have their
own road built to convey the ore from
the range to Duluth. About two months
ago the Rockefellers bought all the
magnificent boats of the Lake Superior
navigation company and next season
they will be used exclusively in carry
ing ore for the trust.
The company has purchased ground
at Ashtabula and are erecting thereon
the largest steel works in the world.
The new leased concerns, which will
shut down by the pool, employ about
6 900 men.

centuries, excluded from agricultural as
well as all industrial pursuits, plum
dered, ravished, murdered, and exiled
whenever q needy king or bankrupt
noble needed money, or an ignorant
populace was excited into frenzy by an
insensate and fanatic clergy, and de-
prived of the right to possess land. their
activity was compressed into the narrow
channel, traffic, and the old mate, in
herited trait of husbandry was rooted
out in the Jews composition as COM
pletely as if it had never existed there,
and that of commerce was developed,
until now the nation of famers and
herders Of cattle has changed into q ma

If permitted, as occasionally they were,
