Golden Wedding Anniversary.

Yesterday at the farm of JOIN n. Red
dick and his wife, Jennie Reddick. one
mile north of Lawrence, in Lawrence
township. was celebrated the golden we'd
ding of this aged couple. All the relatives
who could be present were there and most
OF the intimate acquaintance of the family
living in the vicinity. 1t made a large
gathering and the festivities continued
throughout the greater portion of the day.
Dinner was served at noon and the crowd
was so large that some of the guests had
to be served on long tables set i'm the yard.
John n. Reddick Is the son of Newton
Reddick, who settled in Lawrence town
ship in 1923. He was the first white person
born in the township. He has a win
brother William who, of course. disputes
this honor with him and divides it. but
aside from this his claim is undisputed. He
has lived on the farm where he was born

LIEN SUITS.
Unfairness OF the Law Creates n De-
mand for RemedN.

Those who watch the proceedings in the
county courts wonder why there has not
long ago been a change in the law pro-
viding for mechanics liens so as 10 pro-
tect the ignorant people who are in ig-
norance of the provisions of the law. I'm
der the present law a man who does work
on a building, even though it be for a con-
tractor who has the work in hand, or any
person who sells material that is used in
the construction or repair OF a building,
may hold a mechanics lien against the
property by giving the owner notice at
n time within four months after the
performance of the labor or the delivery of
the material. Under the workings of the
law many people are compelled TO pay
twice on account Of the dishonesty of a
contractor. Many suits of this character
are filed in the court, when the defendant
shows that he has fully paid the contrac-
TOR, but, on account of the contractor
failure TO pay his accounts, the property
owner must suffer. The law presumes
tnat q person IN building VIII know that
all bills have been paid by the contractor,
but there Is a large class of people who
build their own houses who naturally sup
pose that they cannot be held for a debt
contracted by another, and thus are COM
PEELED TO pay twice on account of their ig-
1t has been suggested that the law be
amended SO as TO make il obligatory pom
all dealers in building material TO deliver
TO the owner of property for which mate
rial IS furnished a copy of all bills for sucn
material at the time OF the delivery of the
material, and that there be printed on the
pllls a copy OF the law under which the
dealer may hold d lien and a notice that
the owner of the property will be held liza
pie for the amount of the bill in case it
is not paid by the contractor. This would
give the property owner an opportunity to
know Just what bills had been made by
the contractor and a chance to know that
they were paid or to pay them himself
ana charge 1t to the contractor.
such a law would naturally be opposed
by dealers in building materials on ac-
count or the extra work il would entail
upon them. 1t is claimed it would also
De opposed by a certain class of lawyers,
who think more of making a fee than they
DO or justice. However. this class is small.

TRACK AND HIGH SPEED
THE FAST TRAIN SERVICE Is NOT IN
FURIOUS TO GOOD TRACK.
New York Railroad Commissioners
Favor the j. II. A.-LegisIatures
Causing Some Anxiety.

p. II. Dudley. who has become an expert.
and who has made a special study Of track
for many years, has published some ir-
structive statements concerning the effect
Of fast trains on track. He says that with
the increase in speed there has been an in
creased alertness and efficiency on the part
Of track men, from the section men TO the
chief engineer. On such systems as the
New York Central, the Pennsylvania. the
Erie and the leading roads of the Middle
and Western States, trackmen have become
SO skilled that where a track is not up 10
standard. and it does not ride smoothly, the
fault is in the rail or the wheel under the
car. Mr.. Dudley states that the New York
Central was the first to adopt an eighty
pound to the yard rail, five inches high.
With an increase in weight of fifteen
pounds TO the yard in the rail over those
previously laid, the stiffness of the section
is shown to ave increased two-thirds. AS
soon as the requisite number of miles of
eighty-pound rails were in service, the
speed and weight of the trains We're in
creased and the locomotives enlarged,
which fastened the laying of the entire
main line with this section. The practical
result of introducing these rails. the three
tie supported joints, the higher standard of
track work, and the use of more ballast has
been the reduction of the lumber of undu-
lations per mile of the track under passing
trains by more than 80 per cent. OF what
Is was with the old six~ty-ive-pound rails,
Notwithstanding an increase I'm the weight
and speed OF the trains and a reduction in
the sums paid for labor and crossties.
While an increase in the speed of trains
should theoretically increase the cost of
maintaining track. the matter depends so
much on the stiffness of the rails and the
standard at which the roadbed is main
'tained that the cost of maintenance de-
creaseS rapidly as the standard rises. With
the New York Central standard with hard
eighty-pound and one-hundred-pound rails,
the condition of the track under fast trains
has improved from year to year. the labor
employed in maintenance per mile of track
being less now than that required when the
old Sfxt " ya-nnrrn1 rails frSo1

The Joint Traffic Association.

So common has it become for the press,
rate-cutters and shippers who are bene-
flied by lower rates to speak derisively OF
the Joint Traffic Association that the
friends of the organization will be pleased
to read what the railroad commissioners of
New York, in their annual report, say OF
the association, as follows: stability in
rates has no doubt been an important fac
tor in connection with increased earnings.
The Jurisdiction of the Joint Traffic Asso-
citation extends to local as well as general
traffic, and there has Oeen no serious cut
ting Of rates since the above association
assumed control on Jan. l, 1886. This is adj
vantageous to shippers as we'll as carriers.
Rapid fluctuations In freight rates are in
furious to all classes of trade. The mer-
chant, anxious to secure the best shipping
terms possible, is In doubt when to pur-
chase. and is as likely as not 10 make his
at the wrong time upon terms
that prohibit competition with his more
fortunate rival who has happened to get q
better rate. With uniformity in classifica-
ton and maintenance OF freight tariffs all
least one element OF doubt is removed from
their trade transactions. The board has re-
peatedly expressed the opinion that an
agreement which tends TO diminish unlaw-
full discrimination and preference or rates
and TO maintain legally authorized and rea-
sonable rates must result i'm benefit 10 ship
pers as well as to the railroad companies.
The experience of the Joint Traffic ASSo-
citation thus far justifies this conclusion

High Commissions Paid.

The board of managers of the Joint Trst-
fic Association has found rattle a start
ling condition Of affairs in connection with
east-bound second-class steamship business
from st. PAUL and Minneapolis to the At
lantic seaboard. 1t has learned that a to-
tai commission of $3.50 is being paid on
each ticket, and of this amount the steam
ship companies are paying but 81. leaving
$3.50 to be divided among the roads of the
Western Passenger Association and those
between Chicago and New York. The
agreed rate of commission paid by the
Western roads on this business is 70 cents.
except in the cases OF the Rock Island and
the Wisconsin Central, which are allowed
TO pay 81 on account of the competition of
the 500 line. This leaves at the inside a
commission of $3.50. which must be paid by
some one or more of the roads under the
Jurisdiction of the Joint Traffic Associa-
ton. The transaction is in direct disobe-
dience OF the rules of the association, and
that body is after the offenders with great
energy. 1t has not yet, however. discov-
cred who the culprits are, and all OF the
roads deny with great energy that they
have been paying any unwarranted COM
missions. The Joint Traffic Association has
also learned that transfer facilities are be-
ing afforded in connection with this same
steamship business in the city of New
York. which are in direct violation of the
rules of the association
Chairman Caldwell, OF the western PaS-
senger Association. has addressed an order
TO the lines in the business between Chi
cago and st. Paul that all east-bound
transatlantic steamship business shall ne
carried by the Rock Island or the Wiscon-
sin Central. These roads are behind In
their agreed percentages, and the rule of
the chairman is issued In order 10 give
them an opportunity To even up.
