WILL HAVE NO CINCH
Colonel Breckenridge May Not
Secure that VindicatiOn.
He Will Have at Least Two Opponents
in the Race for the Congress
siOnal Nomination.

LOUISVILLE. Jan. 4-To-day's issue ~
the Woodford Sun, one of the most infiu-
entail papers in the Ashland district, con-
tains an editorial advocating the election OF
the Hon. w. c. Owens to Congress. The
Sun has heretofore been a jealous sup
porter of Colonel Breckenridge. but now
declares that the Pollard scandal will de-
stroy his usefulness in Congress.
A dispatch from Lexington says: The an
ncuncement that Hon. Evan Settle, of Ow-
enton, will enter the race for congress in
the Seventh district has caused no little
talk among the Owens and Breckenridge
men. The entry of Mr.. Settle, however,
is thought to be the worst for Mr.. Owens.
since it will divide the i-Breckinridge
men, aad Mr.. Breckenridge will still retain
the men who have already made up their
mind to stand by him. Both breckenridge
and Owens are actively canVaSSing, yenS
being in the city to-day advising will his
leaders, MeSSrS. Hooker, Means and Pc axe.
The mysterious movements of Miss Mad
cline Pollard Nsince leaving Cincinnati are
greatly perpleXing Colonel Breckenridge and
his friends at Lexington. A woman an
swering the description of Miss Pollard
arrived over the Louisville Southern last
night, but no trace can be found of her in
Lexington to-day. 1t is important TO Col.
Breckenridge and his friends TO know what
Miss Pollard wants in this city, and her
movements are causing them no little UNI

Mrs. Lease Secures an Injunction.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 1.-THE fight be-
tween Mrs. Lease and Governor Lewelling
has finally found it's way into the courts,
and the right Of Governor Lewelling to re-
move Mrs. Lease without an Investigation
as provided for by law will be passed upon
by the Supreme Court. This morning Eu-
gene Hogan, as counsel for Mrs. Lease,
appeared before Chief Justice Horton and
filed a petition in quo warranto, asking
that a writ be issued by the court ousting
j. w. Freedom from acting as a member
Of the State Board of Charities. The wrir
was granted by Justice Horton, and ac-
companying it was an order restraining
Mr.. Freeborn from acting as a member or

in any way with the action Of Mrs. Lease
as president ofethe board.
When asked what he thought Of Mrs.
Leases proceeding, Governor Leweiling
said: 'The controversy is now between

THE BRITISH GOOSE
Will Lay No More Golden Eggs
for the american RObber."
An Englishman's Comment or the Re-
cent Railway COllapses-Statement
from AtchisOn Receivers.

LONDON, Jan. 4.-The Financial News
soys: Both fact and fiction have made us
familiar, even on this side of the Atlantic,
with the American railway robber, who
boards an express train and shoots the
guard AID rifles the strong box. Unfortu-
nately there is In America another scarcely
less disreputable type of robber whose plans
are concocted in the board room and whose
arena of operations is Wall street. The
paper continues in a similar strain for over
a column comparing the American railway
boss to a card sharper, whose victims have
had numerous warnings and ought not to
be surprised into lamentation. 1.-The meth
DDS of the boss" the article says, "are not
criminal. He swindles you by legal devices
and, doubtless in Wall street, he would be
considered an honorable man. But Wall
street has peculiar standards"
The writer goes into details concerning
the Reading, Erie and Atchison collapses
and proceeds as follows: Doubtless there
are honest railway men in America and
bonds that are almost gilt edged in their
sound character, but the balance is heav-
lily the other way. This time, however, the
dirty business has been rather overdone,
and the British goose is not likely to lay
any sense left they will give a wide berth
to everything American, and especially to
the manipulated, treacherous securities of
Emerican railways"
The Westminster Gazette. in it's financial
article to-day, refers TO the growing oppo-
sitioH in London and New York to the Erie
reorganization plan. 1t says that it is by
no means certain that the bondholders are
hopeless. 1t quotes from a letter of Mr..
Robson, whose opinions, it says, are en-
titled TO consideration, urging the bond
plan and thus drive the directors to the
necessity of assessing the shares.

the year 1894, beg leave to submit

the robbers, though certain parties
are under suspicion. The parties,

cover the windows and wrap around

THE LAND OF GOLD.

Thousands have visited the mid
winter fair at San Francisco, but
hundreds of thousands have been I'M
unable to do SO. Recognizing the in
terest which has been displayed
therein, the publishers of the "Magic
City" decided to incorporate few
views of the midwinter fair in their
great portfolio of the worlds fair, and
for that purpose have issued two
extra numbers, II and Is which will
be ready for distribution in a few
days. These two extra numbers have
aroused a renewed interest in this
great portfolio of worlds fair views.
The views in No. II will be about
equally divided between the worlds
fair and the mid-winter fair. While
No. Is will be almost wholly devoted
to the mid-winter fair. Besides pho
tographs of the leading attractions
and displays, all the features of the
wonderful life on the coast in 1849-50.
when the gold excitement was at it's
height, will be wildly reproduced as
they are shown at the fair.
With No. Is the series of worlds
fair portfolios is completed. If you
have not yet secured all the numbers
you should do so at once. If you have
not taken any of the parts, now is
your chance. If you have not saved
any of the coupons which have been
published, take advantage of the
double number coupon which is now
running, and will be continued a few
days longer to accommodate those
who have neglected to avail them
selves of the opportunities of the
past. Sample copies can be had for
ten cents. Part 16 is now ready.

ISOLATION were due him. He moved
that the resolution be adopted and
spread upon the records of the court.
G. L. Benedict seconded this.
Lorin Cray, in offering an additional
second, said that it was with feelings
of regret and sorrow that the mem
bers of the bar see Judge Porter retire
from the bench. He had occupied the
bench long time, and had been haras-
Sed by the duties of the Office almost
beyond human ingenuity to determine
what to do in order to do right and
avoid doing wrong. 1t was one thing
for the lawyers to press earnestly the
claims of their clients, but another
thing to sit on the bench and do exact
Justice, to weigh between right and
wrong, and eliminate from case
those things that come in that have a
tendency to sway the passions and
preiudices of the court. The bar
would unite in saying that in making
these little determinations that SO
often weigh Importantly in case
Judge Porter was almost universally
right. He has a great faculty for dis

Days of 40.

Not many nowadays can recall the
DAYS of '49, when the sturdy Argo-
nauts of the time, as eager for the
golden fleece as were Jason and his
friends of old, flocked across the con-
tinent and around the horn to the
gold fields of the slope. Those were
times, indeed, and the excitement was
paramount. Comparatively speaking,
there is as much excitement now over
the discoveries of the precious metal
in the Rainy Lake district. Travel
over the Duluth Short Line has been
exceptionally brisk since these discoV-
cries were made. The Duluth Short
Line, as the ST. Paul & Duluth rail-
road is more generally known, is the
old reliable route between ST. Paul,
Minneapolis, Duluth, West Superior,
Saltwater, Taylor's Falls, and other
important points, and makes close
connections with trains running to all
points of the compass. This line is
famed for the character of it's equip
ment, the comfort it affords, and the
convenience of it's schedules. Inform

Judge Porter Presented Tokens OF

of The Bar.
Judge Shissler Assumes The Ofricial
TOga-A Notable Occurrence in the
n unicipal Court.

After twelve years of faithful
service, Judge j. e. Porter stepped
down from municipal bench Tuesday
morning, and was succeeded by Judge
Ira p. Shissler. Practically all of the
members of the bar were present, and
some speech making accompanied the
transfer of the office. The occasion
was highly impressive and number
of spectators were present.
At 1910 Ira p. Shissler stepped out
and received the oath of office from
City Recorder Brown. He then took
his seat behind the judicial bench,
and made some appropriate remarks.
He said that he felt the embarrass-
ment of the surroundings on this oc-
casion. He did not enter upon the
duties of the position: with any light
thoughts, but with a contemplation
of the Importance of the duties that
would devolve upon him. He was
aware that he could not fill the office
to the satisfaction of all. He was not
of that portion of the human family
born to make no mistakes. Questions
of importance would come up, and he
would court the aid Of the attorneys
interested. An able attorney had once
said on ascending the bench: II
know not the law, teach me and /
will learn the law" Judge Shissler
