A Great Favorite.

A lady acquaintance of ours in con-
versation with us quite recently, told us
that while travelling over one of the
Burlington lines she overheard con
yersation between seyera. commercial
travellers, on the question OF railroad
connections, time, facilities, etc.
Said one, (which line do you prefer
when gong to the Pacific coast. or
Colorado points?He answered with much
emphasis. The Burlington; FROM the
fact that | make twenty-siX trips every
years to the coast, Is. l think. evidence
enough of my ability to Judge. Another
one of the party said, Yes. the Bur
l,ngtou is not only the quickest. but its
equipments were IN his judgment
superior to any other road. Besides.
| find that those in its train service are
polite, courteous. and every way accom-
nodating, not like some that you meet
on some roads, irag ne they are Jay

tire system. Its roadbe5 is OF the very
best, and have never been put out.

nv labor extended over this system,
which has been fully twelve years" The
The third member Of the party joined
ia and stated that he could most heartily
endorse all that had been said, and that
he had beea in but one wreck on this line
and that was prsvidentiai by reason o;
heavy rains. just then a companion
broke into the story by inquiring If he
. was afraid or worried-wa he prepared
for the unknown.He replied he wasn't the
"least uneasy-he had through ticket
via the Burlington Route, and 1t would
take him safely on and on-even inside
the pearly gates" He closed 10y saying
We'll, to sum 1t all up,the Burlington is
the :traveling mans friend. and they
are the ones who are capable OF Judging
if any class on earth is.
The lady was SO impressed with thu
sparkling conversation aud friendly
/ manifestation m toward this route, tha
she stated to us that when she had Oc
caslon to take journey, it would here
after be over the great Burlington
Route.

Criminal Costs.

MR. EDITOR:-The expense to our
county OF criminal trials and for board
ing cunvicts aud accused persons is a
heavy burden. Perhaps the heaviest
items are for long costly, contested trials
in cases where We might be certain from
the start, no conviction would ever fol
low. 1t is hard enough to convict the
guilty ard almost impossible, as it ought
to be, To convict those not clearly guilty.
II one man happens to kill or wound
another, our grand juries are sure to in
dict. when every intelligent man knows
there can no convection follow. In a
country like the United States, where
mans!aughter is 50 common, over ten
thousand killed per year, if one man
threatens to kill another or infiict great
bodily harm, We may he pretty certain
that no jury will ever convict that other
man for shooting the one who threatens
him, aud IL is quite as certain that where
one attacks another and gets killed in
the skirmlsh. there cannot be found a
jury TO convict. and yet there will follow
Indictueuts aud trials, as certain as time
draws Cn. A review Of the history OF our
criminal trials will show that this state
mant is true. We have the old English
law that makes IL a serious affair even
To kill another in self defence, but our
condition and customs and our public
opinion are entirely different from those
OF the English. The criminal costs OF
the state are an enormous sum and
there are bu, few dollars 10 pay them
as per late report. The question is, why
lndict where we know there can follow
no conviction! y.
