to show cause why the publication

not be held illegal, which furnished

Nebraska National bank, at Omaha.
I obtained my commission on July +,
1892 after spending five weeks in
Washington, D. c., pressing my claim,
and during that time 1 was compelled
to spend more money without any
thing coming in. The result was that,
when I finally became an officer, I
found myself still farther in debt.
With this heavy drawback I entered
the service as an officer, and imme-
diately 1 began to reduce my indebt-
edness with what I could save out Of
my salary from the government. Dur
ing the last year I borrowed money
from friends to help me meet these
old obligations promptly, in addition
to which l was married in 1885, and the
recent bad health of my wife has pre-
vented me from meeting my pressing
obligations as promptly as 1 would
have liked to have done. I hope to
prove to the court that I have acted
manfully and honorably in all my pri-
vate transactions, and, as to my ca
reer as an officer, it is without a
Smirch."
A coincidence in Lieut. Morford's
case is that the officer who is presiding
at his trial, Col. Andrew G. Burt, by
promotion to his present title made the
elevation of the accused officer to the
rank of second lieutenant possible.

JUDGE GARLAND ISSUES ORDER
Merits of the Case to BE Argued and
Passed JJpon Before Tariffs Can
he Promulgated.

The lawyers representing the eight
roads running into South Dakota re-
turned yesterday from Sioux Falls,
where Judge Garland, of the federal
court. issued a temporary injunction
restraining the railroad commission of
the state from the publication of the
reduced maximum rate schedule until
the issue contained in the complaints,
which have been made, is determined.
The South Dakota commission start
ed in July, under a law passed by the
legislature to fix maximum rates, max
ing a very large reduction in most of
the rates. szThe roads running into the
state secured an injunction restraining
such a proceeding, and the court held
that the law did not take effect until
July /, and that all the proceedings
were void. The commission again pro-
ceeded July q and made schedule
classifying the roads and making very
material reductions in the rates, in
some cases as much as 20 per cent. This
schedule becomes effective only upon
publication.

GLIB GIBSON
"Worked" Such Men as Clews and
Wanamaker

NEW YORK, Oct. THE police say
that Emmet c. Gibson, also konwn as
George A. Sherriri who was arrested to-
day ard is now prisoner at police head
tuarters, is the most accomplished bo-
gus check and hotel swinder in the coun-
try.
Amonm his victims, according to Po-
lice Captain McCluskey, are Henry
Clews and John Wanamaker. "Gibson
had an office in the Mills building not
long ago." said Captain McCluskey
"When he had woimed himself into Mr..
Clews good graces. he calmly laid down
$1,000 check, and Mr.. Clews cashed It,
only to discover it was worthless; but
Gibson had disappeared. Gibson met
Mr. Wanamaker in Philadelphia some
time ago and the drygoods man was at
tracted by him. Gibson suggested a
paper be started and run by him frz he
interest of Mr. Wanamakers store.
"'It would be a good idea,' answered
Mr.. Wanamaker, and a plant was DUR
chased. The next thing Mr.. Wanamaker
knew Gibson had sold the plant for sew
eral thousand dollars and PHILADELPHIA
has rot krown him since.
"The police have not yet got definite
idea of Glbson's stealings. It will foot
up to more than $4O0, 600 in four years.

AUTOMATIC LAWN MOWER
Too Great Success on Its Trial Trip
Leads to a Return to Old Methods

"Mr. Sipy," said one of his neighbors
"is not a lazy man, but he likes to eX-
periment He is interested in electricity.
and, living in the suburbs, as he does, it
was natural enough that he should make
an electric lawn mower. He attached a
couple of wheels to the rear of his mower
to give it wheel base to carry platform
upon which he set a small dynamo,
After a good deal of trouble he got the
steering apparatus that he had devised
to go with it so adjusted that the ma
chine would turn when 1t came to the
end of the line, and then one morning he
brought the mower out and started it,
and went up on the verandah himself
and sat comfortably down to read the
newspaper.
'And the machine worked beautifully,
but, unfortunately, Mrs. Sipy's pet dog
got mixed up with it. The dog had al
ways beenaccustomed to seeing the lawn
mower stop when it got in the way, bu.
this machine didn't stop. 1t kept right
on. and the first thing the dog knew the
mower was walking right over it and
shngling off its hair.
when Mrs. Sipy, who had come down
to see what was the matter with the dog
stepped out on the verandah she saw
Mr.. Sipy absorbed in the newspaper, and
the moving machine moving down the
flowers along the border of the lawn.
Mr.. Siply had become so interested in
something he was reading that he had
neglected to stop the mower when it has
finished the lawn and it was now sailing
down through the flowers.
This was too much. Mr.. Sipy said
that all that was needed was guard-rall
around the machine. to keep off dogs and
children, and an automatic cutoff that
would stop it on the edge of the grass.
and he could fix these things in day, but
Mrs. Sipy wouldn't listen to it, and so
after that one trial of it with the motor
attachment the Sipy's lawn mower was
again operated in the old-fashioned
way."-New York Sun.
