The case of State VS.. Woollomes
was called in Justice Pelton's court i'll
Sharon, on Monday at 10 O'Clock. The
County Attorney, having been notified
to appear, stated that he did not find
evidence sufficient to justify his pro.
ceedIng with the case and sanctioning
it. The prosecuting witness, named
Farley, then consented that a nolle
be entered which was done. To attend
on the case, special constable was
taken two days from the blacksmith
shop, juror from his threshing anoth,
er walking most of the way from Med
icine Lodge to be on time. About e
men that lost hslf a days time because
couple of neighbors had a school boy
squabble. Such things are an imposl'
ton on any community, and criminal
actions should be allowed by Justices
only on most conclusive evidence.

MORE FACTS AND FIGURES.

Our figures last week relative to the
rates charged IN Hungary where the
railroads are state owned, and in Cal
ifornia where they are privately owned,
seem to have been insufficient to con-
vince the Cresset of the superiority of
government ownership. We are not In a
position to say whether wages are or
are not higher In this country than they
are In Hungary; but we are prepared to
say that the wages in the latter named
country have doubled since the roads
passed from private hands into govern
ment control. But let US go a little
farther, and not conine ourselves to
any particular country. Victoria, a
state in Australia, where government
ownership of railroads prevails, you
can ride distance of 1000 miles for
$3.50, frst-class, while workingmen
| can ride six miles for 2 cents, twelve
miles for cents, etc., and railroad
men receive Is to 80 per cent more
| wages for eight hours of labor than
they are paid IN this country for ten
hours Of toll. Notwithstanding all
this, the roads pay handsome revenue
to the government after all expenses
are paid. TO any sane man this
should be sufficient evidence that ma
tional ownership is by far the most
beneficial for the people at large. The
Cresset admits that the western people
have been victims of outrageous dis
examinations in railroad rates, and that
the people west of the Mississippi river
are paying from to- cents per mile
while New York people pay cents,
some more and some less, depending on
the standing" of the parties. Here
the Cresset is again off of guard and
inadvertently gives a powerful argu-
ment for government management.
Those who can best afford to pay are
partly and in some cases wholly exempt,
at the expense of the great mass of peO-
pie. State laws can't remove these
difficulties, they may check them by
straight forward leglslating. but gov
eminent control is the only logical So
luton and effectual remedy; a fact
which experience and history have
proved. Another notorious fact which
places private ownership in bad light
is that eight-tenths of all Stock Gam
bling is in railroad stocks. Beside
dealing death-blow to this nefarious
railroad stock gambling, government
management would put an end to wat,
cred stock and innumerable other
denominations that absorb the life blood
from the people that our country is sup
posed to protect. There was time
when railroads were a benefit to a
country, but that time is wofully rel
egated to the rear until now, con-
ditions force us to say that III their
present management, they are little
less then detriment. We think we
have abundantly proved our allegations
beyond a shadow of doubt. and have
unquestioned authority at our command
from which our figures are taken We
have misrepresented nothing, and never
make statements without ample proof
TO back them.

Mckay Re-nOminated.

Owing to the secretary's notes being
mislaid complete detailed report OF
the judicial convention of the oath dis.
trict, we cannot give. The convention
met at Attica on Saturday afternoon
last, with larger portion of the dele
gates on hand, and others came in later
In the afternoon. About 125 interested
friends had also gathered.
1t was plain to be seen from the start
that although the result of the conyen.
ton was foregone conclusion, the en-.
thusiasm and interest were none the
less on that account.
The convention was organized by
making l.. w. Storey chairman, L. E.
Beals of Barber and A. B. Hoffman
OF Harper county as secretaries. AT.
ter some discussion, all committees ex-
cept the committee on resolutions were
dispensed with and nomination was
declared IN order. Burd Lacy of Medi
cine Lodge, put III nomination the man
who fills the position with such credit,
honor and ability, Geo. w. Mckay.
The nomination was seconded by L. NJ.
Pressnal of Cedar township, this coun-
ty. No other nominations being made,
Judge Mckay was renominated By &C.
clamation.
While the resolutions were being
prepared by the committee, short talks
were made by w. o. Hammers of Har-
per county, spoke feelingly of that
proud day of his life when four years
ago, he presided over the convention
that nominated the best judge we have
ever had; by II. Lewellyn Jones of An
thony, candidate for county attorney of
Harper county, who pointed out the
main issue of finances that was de-
handing all the attention of the Amer
lean people; by A. J. Titus of Harper
county.
The committee on resolutions then
through their chairman, Judge Brad
ley, reported resolutions endorsing the
wise, able and consistent official con-
duct of Judge Mckay, and pledging
ulh1 ChO OCOG ouI luOSI CUIlSlduG sup
port of the delegates. Judge Mckay
then responded by pointing out how a
JeffersOnlan democrat could not sup
port Cleveland on principle. or a Lin
coin republican, the present republican
organization, their only true advocates
IN principle being the peoples party of
the present. l.. E. Beals of Barber,
was then called for, and followed by L.
j. Brockway, candidate for probate
judge of Harper county, who laid down,
IN very able manner the proposition
that if he were given the railroads, he
could control the courts, make the
laws, and own the president, and COM
mand the U. S. army. Miss Lena
Bradley then appeared, and requested
the privilege of exercising her photo
graphic skill on the convention, and the
convention very goodnaturedly resign
ed itself to such fate. The conyen-
ton then adjourned. 1t was an en-
thusiastic meeting, and the members
veinced determination to fight out the
coming battle on the principles of the
party, no mud singing being INDUCED
by single speaker on the floor.

for Medicine Lodge. The game was
simply repetition of events that took

will meet the Medicine Lodge boys at
this place Friday, to partake of anoth-

they had better look leetle oudt. .
