THAT BIG COMMISSION FEE.

Argument a Demurrer I'm the Shit Against
Messrs. Mason and Shsffar.
There an argument before Jud &c Baker

A. j. Beveridge in the suit against Msssrs.
Mason and Shsffsr BIZ Messrs Werner and
Mckee to determine the ownership of the
$4,000 commission on the saleof the Citi-
zens' Street-railroad Company. Mr.. Rev
eridge appeared for Mr.. Shaffer and showed
as a cause why the demurrer should be
sustained that: /. The bill shows on it's
u direct liability by written contract with
j. G. Shaffer TO pay him the money IN ques-
tion. 2. The COMPLIMENTS show By their
BILL that should they pay Shatier
the money. they would thereby be in no
danger whatever OF having to pay the mon
ey to Mason. 3. Neither of the complain
ants have attached to the bill an affidavit
that they do not bring their bills by col
lusive arrangement with either of the de-
PENDANTS.
Mr.. Bsveridge insisted that there was no
reason why MIR. Shatier should be compelled
TO interplead. Ex-Attorney- general Miller,

The Pioneer Press continues its
course of defending monopolists and
corporations. 1t opposed the Mark
ham railroad land taxation bill, and
now it scores the legislature for seiz-
ing the books of that greatest of COM
bines-King Coal. Inasmuch as the
legislature receives it's power from the
people, and inasmuch as the secretary
of the combine made himself per-
jurer before the legislative investigat
ing committee, the people will sustain
the legislature in the work of Selling
the secretary's books, and from them
secure evidence that will place the
prime movers in this great conspiracy
behind the prison bars. The time for
action has arrived, and despite the
Pioneer Press flimsy excuses, King
Coal will soon be sold at only fair
profit,

William MawhOr, o. iowa. Charged with
Pnlso ing FIVE Wives.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March is Will
liam Mawhor, farmer of Pottawatta-
mic county, Ia, is to be tried in the
circuit court there next week for
the alleged murder of his fifth
wife. Across the road ON the
Mawhors lived the Harris fa,ni-
lv, the nearest neighbours. On
the night of October % the lIar-
rises were sent for by Mawho. and
told that lis wife had b.en taken
alarmingly i'll. Mr.. and Mrs. Harris
Immediately went over and fou Mrs.
Mawhor in great agony. Mr.. !larris
started for R.verton for DIR. C,wger,
but before the doctor arrived the wom-
an was dead.
DR.. Cowger, whose daughter mar
ried Mawhor's son, in reply to a
question of the old man as to
the cause of his wife's death
said it was undoubtedly case of
strychnine poisoning. Mawhor's fourth
wife was taken ill one night and died
the next day. The body has been
eXnuIneO ana an aLLctnpC Is Oe!1S mace
to analyze the contents of the stomach.
His third wife was Mrs. Martha Cone.
She died near Axtell, Kan, several
years age. Since Mawhor's arrest the
woman's brothers had the body disin-
TERED and strychnine was found in
the stomach. His first and second
wives also died suddenly, as did his
brother, who lived with him in Cali
fornia The first wife died in Califor-
MIA about 1865. A month previous to
the death of wife No. Mawhor
induced her to take out an insurance
policy of $1,000 in the Equita BILE
Life of New York. Mawhor
was made the beneficiary to the
amount of So, 900, the remaining 81, 900
being divided between Mrs. Mawhor's
two children. 1t is understood that
the Equitable will not settle this claim
until the termination of the Mawhor
trial. When Mawhor was searched by
the sheriff a bottle of strychnine was
found in his tobacco pouch.

Mr.. Benham contends that work
kills our people. Boob, the great pyra-
mid, contains 100000 cubic feet;
the great wall of China, 6,35O,OOO,OOO
cubic feet. At the rate of wages paid
here it would cost more to build them
than all the railroads in the United
States in 1880. The material in them
would build wall two feet wide and
six feet high around the world.
In 1880 there we're 545,6M persons
in the U. S. engaged in making and
selling intoxicating drinks. Giving
them So per day they would receive
81, O9l .248 each day. Some time would
naturally be lost from sickness and
other causes, and suppose each per-
son in the liquor business would be
employed in some other enterprise at
$500 per year. We would lose annu-
ally the work of the vast army Of
545,624, which in dollars is $272,812,-
600. The loss of time of 100000
drunkards would be $15O,OOO,OO0; OF
million and a half tiplers, $146,, 49,
592, total low estimate of $560, $751;
592. Add to this the cost of drinks
and tobacco $l,5OO,OOO,O0O, and we
have total of $2,O78, S61 ,592. Mr..
Benham contended that the people of
this county were contributing over
$780, 900 annually towards making up
this vast amount of money and time
worse than wasted, and concluded his
lecture as follows:
You can see why so many of you
are comparatively poor. You do not
save your money. Commence to-day
and save part of every dollar you earn.
If you spend $40 for tobacco and beer
yearly, save this $40 and buy calf,
and in fifteen years you will have ten
thousand head of cattle. If you spend
$3.50 yearly buy pig or sheep and
in fifteen years you will be independ-
ent. know man who started with
$52 worth of hogs and pigs few years
ago and in debt over $1,000. He paid
this to me and bought 800 acres land
and paid $1,000 for it in six years.

The railroads only secured tenn
porary victory when their servants in
the Minnesota senate, lead by the
Populistic Hompe and Democratic
Leavitt, slaughtered the Markham
bill, proposing to place 100000 acres
of railroad lands IN Minnesota on the
tax list. The slaughtering was only
temporary, because in the minds of
the husbandry and other taxpayers
the Markham bill will live, and in the
election of 1884, will be made an issue
on which senator's and representatives
will be elected. The candidat, ex-
pecting to receive the votes of the
people must unhesitatingly declare
himself in favor of the measure. There
must be no "beating about the bush, y
and a declaration that he is in favor
of some measure like that. The bill
that fell victim to the senate last
Wednesday must be the one that he
will vote for, if elected. Party ties
will be disregarded in the election, land
the voters will cast their ballot for the
man who will carry out their wishes.
The period of railroad domination in
the government of Minnesota, is near
ly at an end. The suffering masses
are about to revolt, and thanks to
these gigantic corpations,their actions
alone have made this revolt possible
Their friends in the senate will re-
turn to the people from whence they
sprang, and by the people will receive
an everlasting quietus. Thanks to the
corporations for this, at least
