WHY NOT ABILENE,
The Appellate Covrt for This District
Should Meet Here

A bill is before the Legislature tc
create appellate courts to assist in 9
manner the supreme court which is SO
over-burdened with work. The su.
preme court is now about four years
behind with its work and it is pro-
posed to have these new courts con.
slider appealed cases from their re-
spectiye districts. This county Is by
the bill put in district which in
cludes the Fifth congressional district
aud some northwest counties. II is
proposed to put the court at Concor-
dia but surely that is a most out Of
the way and unsatisfactory location.
1t Is difficult to reach from many
parts of the proposed district and
would not compare with Abilene as a
central point with railroad facilities
unsurpassed. The court should be
held at Abilene and this city will do
well to put in some hard work to Sc.
cure the location.

We Have the Same Kind Here.

Marysville News: The News office
comes about as near being public
property as anything we know Of, or
at least is so considered among the
fraternity. Printers who have not a
dollar invested in material or ma
chinery 60 around to our customers
and beg for job work and bid below
legitimate price and then come to the
News office and other offices and Dor
row type, machinery, material, etc,
to do the work with. Another good
way Of neighboring-and there are
people who have learned it to perfec-
tion--is to watch the News office and
see what our printers are putting in
type and then borrowing it, running
it in their paper and claiming all the
credit themselves Of the labor Of fur
nishing their readers with all the
news and not a word Of credit to the
fellows who really did the work. Now
we are are willing to accommodate
any Of the fraternity under almost
any circumstances, but we do not
think it is just the thing for competi-
tors to perpetually ask us to furnish
the printers or machinery for them
to keep up the competition. That is
not business, 1t is imposition.

TRAMPS GET RELIGION.
Incidentally They Are Cared for by
Their Brethren.

Two tramps now soiourning in Abb
lene are in luck. They have exper-
fenced regeneration both spiritually
and physically, and without doubt one
that il it lasts until spring will put
them in good shape for the next cam
paign. They wandered into town Il
few days ago, Weary wilkins having
just completed tour through the
South and Soapless Simpkins just
starting for southern California. In
the course Of their meanderings they
saw the door Of church invitingly
open and the warmth and light with
in was very soothing in comparison
with the zero weather out of doors.
The two wanderers went in and took
a seat by the fire. Becoming warmed
up Weary lifted his tuneful voice in
a revival hymn and soapless not wish
ing to appear backward came down
heavily on the chorus. Finally when
the invitation was given to "come
forward" they went and two marks
were made on the preachers list Of
converts.
But the strangers were not to stop
there. Along with their conversion
came fellowship which the brethren
Of the church could not ignore and
they were taken to the homes OF some
of the members, fed on fried chicken
and mince pie, were clothed bccom-
ingly II not fashionably and have been
living on the fat Of the land ever
since. Their conversion is said 10 be
genuine and they are said to have
confessed enough wickedness at the
experience meetings to raise the hair
on the bald dcacon's head Ncverthe-
less it has been more or less Of a pie
mic for the tramps and it opens a new
field for the travelling gentry should
any be so unprincipled as to enter it
without being sincere therein.

REFEREES FINDINGS IN THE
PACIFIC HOTEL CASE.
A Finding Of $4,000 Damages Rem.
dsrsd Against the Union Pacific
which Il Held Responsible for the
Hotels Depreciation in Value.

Referee G. W. Hurd, appointed by
the U. S. circuit court, first division,
last June, to hear evidence and re.
port on the case Of the Travellers In
surance Co. VS.. Union Pacific Railway
Co. over the Pacific hotel at this
place filed his findings today. The
Travellers sued the railroad for $40,-
900 damages and an additional sum
for rental and furniture because of
the alleged depreciation Of the value
Of the Pacific hotel because the rail-
road in violation Of its contract put
on dining cars and did not stop its
trains for meals. The Travellers was
represented by W. G. and A. J.
Cowles and a large amount Of evil
dence was submitted,
Mr.. Hurd's findings review the en-
tire bulk Of the evidence, give the
facts brought out and end with seven
conclusions Of law in the case which
are briefly as follows:
That the use Of dining cars upon
defendants railroad is not a breach
Of its contract with plaintiff.
The failure OF defendant to stop its
train No. s at Abilene for meals dur
ing latter part Of contract was breach
of contract resulting in damage by
depreciating the value Of its property.
Plaintiff is not entitled to recover
from defendant for losses sustained
by the operation of the hotel since
commencement Of this suit.
The proper measure of damages in
this case is what the property Of the
plaintiff in controversy would have
been worth at the time of the COM
mencement Of this action II the de-
PENDANT had carried out its contract
in good faith.
The plaintiffs entitled to judgment
against the defendant for $40,
That upon the payment of the
judgment the title to all buildings
erected by the plaintiff and its
assignors upon the right of way of
the defendant company (the U. P. X.
R.. at Abilene, Kas., together with
the contents thereof used and bought
for the purpose Of conducting a hotel
and eating house will pass to the de-
PENDANT.
The Travellers will probably file
exceptions to those findings which
deny that the dining cars injured the
and will ask further damages
for rental and furniture, while the
railroad will no doubt have its excep-
tons to the findings also.
The report Of the referee will be
considered by the court at its next
session and the judges decision will
be looked for with interest.
