WARD & PALMIE.
The Contractors and Machinery
Dealers who will erect the
Plant for Buescher's Sons.

1t will be interesting to our read
ers to know that q reliable firm
will put in the machinery and
mains of Smithville's waterworks
system-a firm that does business
on honor and whose word has al
ways proven as good as their bond.
Such is the record of Ward &
Palmie, who are the parties build
ing the system of waterworks for
Messrs. Buescher's Sons, located in
Cuero, Texas. These gentlemen
are-contructors as wen as dealers
in all kinds of machinery. They
build oil mills, cotton gins, water
works, ice and electric light plants.
They have built some of the finest
gins and oil mills in the State Of
Texas. The past season they have
erected as many plants AS any one
firm in the State, their motto is:
"First class or not at all" Both
members Of this firm are practical
machinists. They deal direct with
the consumer and see hundreds of
plants running every seasan where
by they are made familiar with all
the defects that may be in any
plant thus learning where improve
ments are necessary, being prac-
tical they soon overcome those de-
fects, for that reason they are today
considered the best authorities on
machinery in the State. Other
firms do their business from behind
a desk and send travelling men to
represent them. We do not deny
that there are a number of good
men on the road but when they do
fad room for improvement it is
often forgotten long before they get
back home to report While with
Ward q Palmie this is not the
case-they deal personally with the
manufacturer and any chance for
improvement will surely be called
to the attention Of the manufac-
turer. Messrs. Buescher's Sons are
to be congratulated on giving this
firm their contract as they will get
u first-class outfit in every respect
u Again Ward e Palmie should feel
proud of having this contract
placed with them as it was done
without OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Sons trusting to their honesty to
be treated right, In this contract
the question of price was not con-
sidered, it was strictly quality and
economy of machinery. Should
any one be in need of machinery Of
any kind they would do well to
write Ward 81 Palmie, Cuero,
Texas,-Smithville Transcript.

BAKER FOOLED THEM.
He Plead Not Guilty to the Charge of
Bigamy.

Robert Baker was brought before the
county Judge today with the under
standing that he was to plead guilty
to a charge of bigamy and be sentenced
bv' Z judge. However Baker fooled
the district attorney and the court Off
clals by pleading not guilty, and the
county will be forced to keep him for
several months more. the reason for
Bakers changing his mind was, as he
explained it, the fact that he thong t
he had discovered friend who would
bail him out of Jail and he could spend
the time in the meantime in earning
money with which to pay his fine
when it is assessed. Baker admits his
guilt and was very anxious to plead
guilty few days ago, and this change
of opinion is great surprise to the
court officials.

KENOSHA WAKING UP.
Citizens Unite in an Effort for More
HarbOr.

Harbor.
The business men of Kenosha are
in earnest in regard to the recent
proposed harbor improvements, and
are backed up by Congressman Fl. A.
Cooper.
A large number Of the manufac-
turers of the city have signed and
presented q petition to the common
council asking that body to secure a
strip $50 feet in width along the
north side of the harbor to be donated
to the general government for the
purpose of widening the harbor to
that extent, and the removing and
rebuilding of the north pier. 1t will
take about three years to complete
this work and dredge out the basin to
the desired depth.
The matter was put i'll the hands OF
the committee on harbor and improve
ments at the last meeting of the
common council, and the scheme is to
be vigorously pushed. Mr.. Cooper,
who is in hearty sympathy with the
movement, is a member of the house

TO SUE THE NJ. r. e K
PEDDLER WHO IS THROWN FROM
TRAIN MAKES A KICK.
ALL ON ACCOUNT OF A BUNDLE
The Electric Road People Have Good
Damage Suit on Their Hands
Which Involves Strict
Points of Law.

An interesting suit IOr damages may
soon be commenced against the NJ, r.
& Z. Electric Railway Co. Tuesday
afternoon Charles Gordon, peddler
who had boarded one of the company's
cars at this city, was put off by Will
lam Erick, the conductor, because be
refused to pay fare for large bundle
which he had placed in a seat. Accord
ing to the story of the peddler, there
were only five or six persons on the
car, which left many vacant seats. In
one of these seats Gordon placed his
bundle of wares. He had purchased a
ticket for himself to Racine and when
the conductor came around for fares he
was given this ticket. The conductor
eyed the large bundle and demanded
10 cents additional for carrying the
bundle. Gordon refused to pay it.
claiming the company had no right to
charge him for that. The conductor
offered to return his ticket and he
could take his bundles and walk to RAJ
cine. Gordon refused to accept the
ticket and finally the conductor placed
it in his (Gordon's) coat pocket. The
peddler was then ordered off the car,
which he refused to do, and the con-
ductor put him off. 4
The same evening Gordon went to
Racine and called at the company's
office and reported that the conductor
had choked him in putting him OIL
Later he went to DR.. Sauer and had
the physician examine him. Hesecured
certificate stating that wounds were
found on the back of his neck and
other places on the body, which would
naturally lead persons to believe that
he had been roughly handled.
Thursday morning William Erick,
the conductor, was summoned to appear
before Justice Morey, of Racine, to an
swer charge of assault and battery
preferred against him by Gordon. The
motorman, who was a witness for the
defendant, was not present, and the
case was adjourned until Monday
morning to give the defendant time 70
arrange his case 1t is understood also
that warrant will be sworn out
against the motorman, who, the ped
der says, assisted the conductor III
putting him off the car.
If this case should develop into suit
for damages several fine legal points
will be called up. Whether the con-
ductor had a right to put Gordon Oft
after he had paid his fare will be one
of them. 1t seems that the only right
the conductor had was to either throw
the bundle off the car or hold it when
he arrived in Racine for the fare due,
if any was to be paid.
The conductor argues that the ped
dler occupied several seats with his
bundle. That may be true, and it may
also have some weight in the case, but
as there we're a number OF seats vacant
and no passengers were compelled to
stand on account of his occupying more
than one seat, he could not charge him
for the space occupied, but merely for
carrying the bundle.
Tt is understood that the conductor
only did his duty, following the rules
and regulations of the company. Cor
don will secure the services of an at
torney, he says, and fight the company.

japan Will Compete.

San Francisco. Dec. 26.-Charles W.
Richards, a mechanical expert of
Cleveland, O., has arrived from Japan,
where he has been experimenting the
construction of a wire nail plant, cost
ing $250,000, at Tokyo.
The capacity of the works is 500
kegs of nails and 1000 wooden kegs
daily.
AS skilled labor in Japan is paid but
80 cents day as against $3.50 in this
country the output of the factory will
cause corresponding reduction in the
demand for the American product.
