former stopping only at certain widely sep
aIated floors. while the others stop at any
floor desired. The express cars must be run
at high speed in order to utilize them to
an economical extent, and these are the
elevators that usually contribute to the
ccroners duties. The accommodation cars
cannot attain rapid rates in the usual
course of their service. and thus 1t is pos
sihle to set the clutches for operation al
comparatively low speeds, while the same
Practice in the case of the express elevators
would initiate against their usefulness.
The remedy for this danger is TO limit by
law the speed at which an elevator may be
hoisted or lowered. This will establish Il
limit OF speed at which the clutches may
be relied upon to act without causing dam
age.
But the better way still is to do as the
commissioners Of the District have done
and regulate the height of buildings. The
rule here at present is that no building
shall be constructed higher than the width
OF the street on which it fronts. The regula-
ton is thus flexible enough to prevent hard
ship and at the some time rigid enough to
keep the city free from the sky-scrapers
that contribute SO many dangers to the al
ready crowded list of modern peris. Ele-
yatcr accidents are a. present very rare
due to the system of inspection in vogue,
but it is probably quite as readily traceable
TO the absence of those temptations to reck-
less speeds that are to be found in the
fifteen ard twenty-story Office structures.
The bitter experiences of the metropolis
and other cities in this regard are to be
taken as warnings to maintain the present
regulation at all hazards, whatever may be
the demand for authority to go beyond the
the street-width limit in the erection of
lew buildings.

Any Old Car VIII Do.
From the Ida Grove Tia En-

from the Ida Grove ua.1 Era.
There never has been a time when more
heavily loaded freight trains passed
through Ida Grove each way during a day
than there have been for the last month.
On the main line 1t Is the same thing. Big
trains every few minutes. During the last
year or two all the cars in every train were
supplied with air brake connections, and 1T
was remarkable what fine equipments the
freight trains had. But now any old thing,
SO that 1t has wheels. Is brought out. and
the remark, How many old, worn-out cars
the Northwestern has," may frequently be
heard. The fact is that for several years
the company had no need for near all its
cars. so used only the best but now eyerv-
thing Is pressed into service

He never strikes a Tyre,
He never talks of genius
Nor affects celestial fire."
Yet we read him and we heed him.
Patriarchs and growing lads
Testify how much We need him
The man who writes the ads.
By language chaste and simple
The heart and purse are stirred,
When he selects his topic
And invents a household word.
Even Mammon offers tributes
(Which are coarsely known as "scads'')
To the rhetoric presented
By the man who writes the ads
Who couldn't write with power
On such themes as birds and bees
And the mighty moods of nature
When they terrify or please?
But it's hard to talk Of clothing,
Furniture or liver pads
With the subtle fascination
or the man who writes the ads.

WAGNER WINS.
Released Yesterday by Judge
Prewett of Placer.

And so Chris. Wagner did not go to
Wisconsin, after all, to answer to a
criminal charge of obtaining money by
false pretenses, for he was discharged
by Judge Prewett of Placer County
yesterday after the habeas corpus hear
ing. Wagner returned last evening to
his family, and a big load was lifted
from the hearts of his wife and chill
dren.
1t seems that Wagner, who is a
hop dealer, had transactions with F.
Luening & Co. of Milwaukee, and the
latter claim that he cheated them. But
when the correspondence between the
parties was produced in Judge Prev
ett's court his counsel insisted that no
criminal act was shown, and that If
the Milwaukee firm had any grievance
at all against Wagner 1t was such
only as should be settled by civil
action.
Wagner's counsel-W. M. Sims of this
city and Messrs F. T. Tuttle and j. z.
Marks of Auburn-based their defense
chiefly on the point however, that
Wagner had never been in Wisconsin,
and therefore could not be a fugitive
from that State.
This fact was proven by a dispatch
from the Chief of Police of Milwaukee,
and Judge Prewett then ordered Wag-
ner's discharge. The court held that
d person could not be taken to another
State on a reQuisition unless he were
a fugitive from such State.

QUICK WORK.
A Lightning Verdict of Not Guilty
in the Smith Case.

It took the jury IN the Frank Smith
robbery case about one minute yester
day to acquit the prisoner. They had
barely time 10 go to the jury-room and
take a ballot before they were back in
court with a verdict of not guilty.
Smith, who is apparently still in his
teens, was accused of robbing a COM
paniOn named Crowley in a boXcar on
Front street some weeks ago, but the
evidence against him was not conclu-
sive.
He was defended by C. NJ. Beckwith
and Victor l. Hatfield. 1t was the lat
ters first appearance in court in a. case
of any importance, and the young gem
tleman scored a marked success. His
address to the jury was very effective
one and he received many compliments
from older members Of the bar.
Judge Hart, in discharging the jury,
took occasion to remark that he did
not see, from the evidence, how they
could have arrived at any other con-
olusion.
The statement published yesterday
morning to the effect that Smith was
being tried for the theft of a boat and
various articles along the river was
incorrect. There is a youth named
Frank Smith under arrest for some
thing of that kind, but he belongs to
