number of cases In which considerable
interest has been felt, particularly in rail-
road circles, have been decided by Judge
December, 1893, when Harvey Holloway, A.
Brown, J. r. Blair and G. w. Mccoy COM
menced proceedings in the district court to
collect amounts paid to the Chicago & North
western and Sioux City G. Pacific Railway
companies in excess Of what they claimed was
authorized by law. The plaintiffs all live at
Whiting, Ia, and do a ay-shipping busL-
ness They allege that in shipping hay from
Whiting, on the Sioux City & Pacific, to
points on the Chicago & Northwestern east
Of Missouri Valley they had paid the sum
of the local rates on both roads, while there
is a law that provides that only so per cent
Of the total amount can be charged. They
demanded judgment for the excessive charges
with interest.
On taking the dispositions OF the railroad
officials but little knowledge was learned,
and after several unsuccessful attempts had
been made to induce the officials to say some
thing besides that they had no knowledge Of
the matters in litigation, the plaintiffs Sc
cured an order of court requiring the officials
to make more specific statements. They had
until this term to do so, with the under
standing that II they did not comply with
the order they should be considered in de-
fault They have not made the more specific
statements, and judgment in the following
amounts have been issued against them:
Holloway, $5,67O Mccoy, $2,356; Brown,
81 ,279; Blair, s112992. OF all these amounts
81 500 is for attorney fees. The cases will
probably be appealed to the supreme court.

The argument that dumb brutes shun the
beverages and drugs that man uses as
stimulant will not hold water as far as Bucks
county bumblebees are concerned, says the
Philadelphia Ledger Some Of them have
been led astray and are addicted to hitting
the pipe" so to speak.
Bucks county's opium Joint is located on
Finnhook farm, about a mile west of Doyles-
town, the trial grounds of a we'll known
Philadelphia seed house. In one portion of
the farm are several large beds Of poppy
plants 1t is here the bees get drunk. The
poppies are not the poisonous Chinese variety
from which opium is obtained, but they con-
tain enough Of the seductive Juice TO make a
man dizzy after spending some hours in the
patch. Quantities Of bees can be seen lying
about in the cup-shaped flowers. A recent
visit to the farm was very interesting. Bees
were TO be seen In every stage from partial
intoxication to death itself, the beautiful cups
holding the dead bodies of many.
