Mrs. r. c. Day has been appointed as the

dress of the afternoon was given by Rev.
M. L. Haines on Temperance Citizenship"
Mr.. Haines spoke of prohibition, local OPP
ton and the various temperance laws which
are in force in the different States. He also
gave report made by committee in New
York relative to the liquor traffic. The eff
fcacy of the different forms of liquor legis-
lation and their value were touched upon.
Many localities are in rebellion against
liquor legislation. There has been prohi-
bition law in Maine since 1851, and yet the
evil has not been conquered. Mr.. Haines
said that if he lived in Maine he would
vote and work for prohibition. The work
of Neal Dow was also cited. and his dis
appointment, though not encouragement
that prohibition had not succeeded while
he was alive. The success of prohibition
or any of the liquor laws depends on the
power of public sentiment behind it. That
law is best which is best administered. In
conclusion, Mr.. Haines said that all per-
sons should strive after all visible or reach
able improvements. The Nicholson law he
declared to be a long step forward, but to
further advance there is need OF public

Recommendations of the
Supreme Court.

John c. Evans and John w. Crum, of
Marion, will have to stay in prison for five
and three years, respectively, according to
the decision of the Supreme Court rendered
yesterday afternoon. The case for which
the men were sent up attracted widespread
attention beth on account of the prominence
Of those interested and on account of the
nature of the crime 1t was green goods
game without the green goods. Evans was
president of bank at Jonesboro and Crum
was an insurance man with an office in Ma
rion. They represented to a farmer by the
name of Haines that they could buy $4,000
of the "just as good as" money which would
be given to him for $1,000 in cash and his
note for $4,000. The farmer paid the money,
executed the note and at the proper time re-
ceived package at the express office. He
met Evans and Crum in wood and when
the box was opened it was found to con-
tain nothing but bundles of paper.
Evans and Crum claimed to be victims
along with Haines and tried to scare him
into keeping quiet by representing that all
would go to the penitentiary together If it
should become known that they were try
ing to buy counterfeit money. But Haines
was not to be husned up that way and he
caused the prosecution of the confidence

The trial of the men produced several
sensations, chief among them being the at
tempts at bribing the jury. Judge Howard
wrote the opinion affirming the lower courts
judgment. He declared that he could see
only one reason why new trial should be
granted ard that would be in order to
double the terms of the mems sentences.

THE NEW MILEAGE BOOK
AN OFFICIAL THINKS THERE SHOULD
BE SOME NOTIFICATIONS.
The Origin and Growth of the Fast
Freight Line Service-GeneraI and
Personal Railway News.

A local passenger official yesterday re-
marked that he had been giving a good
deal of attention to the new interchangeable
mileage book, and especially to the ques-
ton how it was regarded by the commercial
travelers-the principal purchasers. He
had satisfied himself that the new mileage
was not at all popular with this class of
patrons of the railroads. nor was it likely
to become so. This fact. he thought. would
be fully demonstrated by the meeting of
travelling statesmen to be held on Saturday
night. OF course, the railroads would be
loath to abandon the new system Since it's
introduction the earnings of all the lines
have shown a handsome increase, as, in
stead of go per cent. of the travel being
on mileage books, as heretofore, it does not
now exceed 20 per cent, the remaining so
per cent being paid for at the regular local
rates. This official said his sympathes in
this matter were with the travelling men,
but he thought that if they would meet
the passenger officials in a friendly spirit
and manifest a desire to prevent frauds in
the use of mileage books, agreement
could be reached satisfactory to both sides.
in his opinion all difficulties could easily
be overcome if the commercial travellers
would lend their united efforts to secure
the enactment and enforcement of laws
which would put stop to the scalping of
mileage books by ticket brokers-some such
legislation as that recently enacted in New
York. He thought there we're onerous fea-
lures about the present system which could
be eliminated if there were earnest and
honest cooperation between the travelling
statesmen and the passenger officials. For
instance, the requirement for the exchange
of mileage for tickets at the station before
taking train, was an onerous one, and
some plan should be adopted for it's elim1na-
ton. But the existing plan should not be
abandoned except for one which, while less
Objectionable to the legitimate users of
mileage books. would be equally effective
in restricting the operations of the scalper.
The new book has been in use but few
weeks, yet already two scalping offices in
this city have been forced out of the bust
ness, and the official alluded to said he
knew that the proprietors of one of the
largest scalping offices in the city were
looking about for other business, having de-
cided to abandon their present vocation.
The railroad people desire very much TO re-
tain the good will of the commercial traV-
elerS, they recognize the fact that they
are among their most liberal patrons, and
desire to arrive at an agreement with them
on the subject of mileage-the chief objects
sought being the pre- 1ntion of Scalping and
the prevention of Tom, Dick and Harry
travelling on borrowed mileage. 1t is thought
that if the travelling men VIII honestly and
this matter the end could be easily accom-
pliShed.

The case of julius Schleuter against Mary

wife and Mary Canatsys sister. She died
when the child was born, Nov. 81, 1892 On
her deathbed she and her husband gave the
child, Flora E. ]. Schleuter, to Mr. and Mrs.
Canatsy, and they agreed to rear it as their
own. In October, 1896, Schleuter forcibly
took the child to his own home The lower
court recognized the claim of the Canatsys
to the child and gave possession accord
ingly.
The parties to the suit reside in this city.
In the appellees' application for the writ

Much doubt is expressed regarding the
ability of the Western roads to maintain
their agreement for the preservation of pas
senger rates for any great length of time.
1t is said by some of the roads that the
pressure for the payment Of commissions

of the roads will be certain to yield to the
demand and then all the roads that happen

out that in the face of an ironclad agree

The Appellate Court yesterday affirmed
the decision of the Jay Circuit Court in the
case of Sherman Cox against John Hayes.
In 1894 Hayes was treasurer of Jay county
and, in paying his taxes, Cox gave the
treasurer a check, drawn by third party,
in part payment of the Indebtedness. The
drawer of the check had no funds on de-
post at the bank on which the check was
drawn and the check was never honored.
Treasurer Hayes sued Cox and obtained
Judgment for the amount of the check with
interest. Cox contended that the accept

courts hold that a check, unless honored
and paid does not extinguish q debt.
