OF congress contemplates it. The accept
ance Of a rate Of charges below the
schedule rate in no wise makes the
shipper guilty Of discrimination against
other shippers.
The case in question is the n in
which the general traffic manager Of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad,
Mr.. Hanley, and a former president OF
the company, Mr.. Rinehart, were in
dicted under the interstate commerce
act, an with them Nelson Morris Of this
city. The indictment was quashed as to
Morris for the reason already given, but
sustained as to the two others.
1t is not expected that the District
Attorney will take an appeal in the Nor.
ris feature Of the case, but the attorneys
for Hanley and Rinehart will fight it out
to the end. The decision is sc reason
able, however, that it does not seem tc
be open to assault.

The Yankton Dakotan has been doing
some reliable figuring from the census
reports to see where the Freie Presse OF
that city gets its 10000 German votes in
this state which it is going to take with
it out Of the republican party in the
event OF the latter adopting a free com
age plank iE its next platform. On the
most favorable basis of figuring the Da-
kotan can only find $500 German votes
all told in the state, and then goes on to
say: Now from this 4,5O0 voters there
must be deducted the n%on-voting Ger
mans, the members Of the various
brotherhoods among the German Rus
slams, and their number is considerable.
and then we must deduct the democratic
Germans and the populist Germans, and
finally We must deduct even that class OF
self-respectipg republican Germans who
have minds of their own and who think
for themselves, and are not dependent
upon the Freie Presse to do their politi-
cal or financial thinking for them, and
when all these are deducted, the 10000
claimed by the Bombastes Furioso of the
German press in South Dakota will have
dwindled down to about two ambitious
publishers and editors OF the Freie
Presse who would like to make the re-
publican party believe that they carry
the German vote OF the state in their
trousers pocket, and can deliver it to
suit themselves.

CONGRESSMAN MONEY,
Member of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee, on the Monroe Doctrine.

Member of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee, on the Monroe Doctrine.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 3O.-Congress-
man Money, of Mississippi, member
of the foreign relations committee of
the last congress, and the committee
man who reported the resolution au-
thorizing the president to request Great
Britain to arbitrate the Venezuelan
boundary dispute, has prepared an
elaborate history of the Monroe doc
trine and the Venezuelan question as
he became intimately familiar with it
on the foreign relations committee.
'The Monroe doctrine has two wide
ly different features, one of which only
is involved in the Venezuelan dispute"
says Mr.. Money. in the first place,
no president has authority to lay down
fundamental or permanent policy of
government The constitution has
placed that power in congress, and
congress, at the time of Mr.. Monroes
seventh annual message, and on other
occasions, declined to affirm the Mon
roe doctrine and two years later disa-
vowed it entirely"
Then follows the history of the doc
trine, which he demonstrates to have
been called out by the historical holy
alliance formed by the kings of France,
Austria, Russia and Prussia, which
they proceeded to make effective,
Great Britain vainly protesting.
Eventually the alliance proposed
to cross the Atlantic and sub
jugate everything to kings in
the Spanish provinces, although the
United States had recognized their in
dependence Fearing for its South
American trade, Great Britain inti-
mated readiness to stand by the
United States in resisting the alliance,
and in this way came the protest, not
against a monarchical form of gevern-
ment in America, but against the al
lied powers extending their political
system to any portion of either conti-
nent of America.
Mr.. Money says this boundary dis
pute is $50 years old, that there never
was delimitation of the frontier, and
that his committee thought the dis
pute of such gravity that as the impair
tial friend of both we could venture to
suggest a peaceful, solution"

INFURIATED MOB.
They Attack House in Which q
Woman and Paramour Dwell.
Failing to Get the Couple Out They Fire
the Dwelling-The Man, Attempting to
Escape, is Shot to Death-The Wo.
man Perishes In the Flames.

LEBANON, KY, Dec. 30-A mob in.
Aicted horrible vengeance on a faith
less woman and her paramour Satur-
day night when they burned Mrs T. J.
West alive and killed w. A. Dever, her
Cartwright's creek on the Springfield
pike, three miles north of this city.
The mob is said to have mum bered
about seventy-five and it was about
twelve o'clock when they appeared at
Mrs. Vests house. Mrs. West, Dever
and his little daughter were the only
persons in the house, and when the
mob called to Dever to come
out Mrs. West and the little one
responded, but Dever remained i'm
side. just as Mrs. West reached the
door several shots were fred at her
and she ran back, but the child re-
mained on the outside. The mob then
fred several shots into the house, none
of which took effect, and after several
attempts to get Dever to come out the
mob fred the building. Intense heat
finally forced Dever to run out, and
with pistol in hand, he started to
cornfield, few steps from the house,
where he took shelter behind a corn
shock and was shot to death. Mrs.
West perished in the burning house,
and Sunday morning her remains were
found in the chimney where had taken
refuge. Her legs and the upper por-
ton of the body were almost entirely
burned off. The little girl gave the
alarm Sunday morning, but meager in
formation can be gained from her.
w. Dever is the man who shot and
killed T. ]. West, husband of the
burned woman, December 7, at Beaver
Green, on Cartwright's creek. Dever
had preliminary hearing and was re-
| leased on the ground of self defense.
The killing is thought to have
been caused by intimacy on the
part of Dever and Vests wife. After
Dever was released he was charged
with living with the woman as his
wife 1t is said that Dever had been
warned that he would be killed if he
did not leave. He is from Knoxville
and leaves widow and several chill
dren. Mrs. West also leaves a large
family, but none were at the house
at the time of the horrible tragedy.
West and his wife had been living
apart for some time, and the woman
had instituted divorce proceedings.
She had been induced to withdraw the
suit, however, and West was on his
way to see about the matter when he
met Dever. He snapped pistol twice
at Dever, after accusing him of adul.
terry with Mrs. West when Dever drew
his gun, and despite Vests plea for
mercy he shot and killed him and ran
away, but returned when the coroner's
jury brought in verdict of justifiable
homicide. He is said to have then re
newed his relations with Mrs. West
This incited the neighbors to fury.

ODD BILLIARD FACTS.

Making Table in Day-The Balls Sea-
soned in lncubators- -Coloring Red Balls.
A billiard table can be built in "a
hours if carte blanche is given to the
manufacturer, but he prefers to have
time to get the right effects, from one
month to six. The wood needs to be
seasoned for a period of nearly seven
years. Rich. deep Spanish mahogany
is used, pollard oak, ebony and satin
wood.
Tables are not always covered in
green. Blue is sometimes used and
pure olive green. The late Prince Leo
pold was the first to make use of the
latter color, and olive green is known
to-day IN the billiard world as prince
Leopold's color"
The balls must be well seasoned be-
fore they are used for play. Manufac-
turers have incubators in which to store
them that they may undergo the drying
process. Some incubators will hold
fully 5000 balls. When they are first
made they are green" Solid ivory is
the only satisfactory material Of which
to make them; artificial balls" (those
made of composition) are much heavier
and do not wear well. English makers,
to give the red balls a perfect color,
steep them in a decoction that is some
times described as the "guardsman's
bath" This is extracted from the old
coats of ''Tommy Atkins" and for bill
lard balls it is the finest scarlet dye
known
