swamp, on the south border of Orleans

Sloan Springs, Ark, October 9-The
drought throughout this section of Ar

the Indian Territory still continues and
the situation is daily growing more
alarming.
Springfield illinois, October 9.-The

of the country. It began August %, the
date Of the last heavy rainfall, and has
continued with little abatement until
the present time, a period Of forty-six
days.
Frankfort, KY, October 9.-Commis-
sioner of Agriculture Moore, in his
monthly report, says that the tobacco
crop has been cut short 16 per cent. as
a result of the drought in Kentucky. The
corn crop is also badly damaged. Hogs
are reported dying in many counties for
want Of water.
Chattanooga, Tenn, October 9.--The
drought in this section is unprecedented,
Late crops have been literally burned
up, ordinarily large streams of water
have gone dry, and complaints numer-
GUS and mournful come in from all
points in the territory adjacent to Chat
tanOOga. Since August % the rainfall
has amounted to only .O7 of an inch.
South Bend, Ind, October 9.-The
marsh fires that have been raging in

some cases the woods have burned On

burned down a distance Of three or four
feet to the underlying clay, creating in

Stock Yards Decision viii Stand,

Stock Yards Decision viii Stand.
In the Federal court, Saturday, Judge
Foster called attention to the fact that
the stock yards company has been vio-
lating the State law for months unless
the higher courts fail to sustain his re-
cent decision He stated that there
should have been some system adopted
by the company of issuing Overcharge
checks showing the difference between
the old charges and those in the new
law, so that this could have been re-
funded to shippers. He asked the attor-
neys II this could not yet be done. They
replied that the records of the company
were so kept that this overcharge could
be readily ascertained and that the COM
pany held itself in readiness to repay
this amount whenever the law was sus-
tanned by the court of last resort. On
this showing the matter was allowed to
pass, the stock yards company having
previously given bond of $4,000 for
this purpose.
In this connection it might be stated
that the stock yards company has acted
in this rate matter as anyone else would
be likely to do. 1t has opposed any re-
duction of its income, and has done all
in its power to accomplish this purpose,
for which the officers cannot be blamed
nor should tlhey be censured. It should
also be observed that the Legislature
had no desire to injure the company,
but opposed a system which enabled
private concern to exact more than
reasonable charge for the performance
Of services for the shipping public.
The final hearing on the case will be
before Judges Thayer and Foster, at
Topeka, October 18. When this arrange
ment was made Judge Foster said that
he had had his say in the matter, that
he could see no good reason for him to
sit in the case and that he would turn
the matter over to Thayer. He said he
had heard the case and did not expect
TO change his views. But Attorney HOr-
ton observed that this would be the
final hearing, to which Foster replied:
THAT makes no difference. remem-
ber when l was getting into deep water
in the Santa Fe receivership case, cOun-
sci sent for Judge Thayer to pull me out
and he did it very nicely" Thayer sus-
tanned him in every point in that mat
ter.
Special Master George w. Clark was
allowed $4,000 and expenses for his SER
vices. 1t was suggested that $4,000
would be a reasonable figure, but Judge
Foster said: mot long ago, in the
Santa Fe foreclosure case, a man was
given $4,000 for a few hours work.
l considered that an outrage. don't
believe the United States courts should
be liberal to wastefulness, and propose
to see that this court is not" Mr.. Clark
was then given $4,000 for about six
months work.

GAMING CASES.
That of Angus Ross Goes Over Till
Tuesday Next.

The case against Angus Ross, re-
Gently arrested on a charge of per-
mitting gambling in a room in his
house. was called in the Police Court
yesterday afternoon.
Hiram W. Johnson, for the prosecu-
ton. presented an affidavit signed by
City Attorney Brown, setting forth that
ii had been impossible to serve sub
penas on three important witnesses,
and requesting a reasonable continu-
ance in order that they might be served.
c. t. Jones, attorney for the defen-
dant, protested against further con-
tinuance, submitting that the prose-
cution had not shown due diligence in
searching for their witnesses.
The court, however, granted a con-
tinuance and the case was set for 1:30
O'Clock p m. next Tuesday.
Attorney Johnson suggested that the
jurymen summoned to appear be ex-
CuSed, and that a new Venire be issued.
submitting that it was unfair to ask
business men to lose two days in try
ing one case.
Mr.. Jones protested against discharg-
ing the panel. and Mr.. Johnson ap-
pealed to the jurymen personally. That
had the desired effect. They all wished
to be excused, and the court made an
order discharging them, and issued a
venire for forty new jurors to be on
hand Tuesday.
Sentence in the case of VIM Land
recently convicted on a charge of per-
mitting gambling in a room in his
house, was further continued until this
morning.

been the go-between for Tassie and
the McAllister woman, had in the

An Important Annual Event in the

At sunset last evening began the

save that which is unleavened has

faith, and a pleasant. if unwritten law.

The news from the Philippines, via
Spanish wires, is to the effect that the
rebels have all surrendered, save one or
two small marauding bands. Accord
ing to the Spanish Minister this ends
the insurrection. But somehow insur-

habit of resurrection. One is scarcely
dead before it rises again. Besides as
the news is from Spanish sources, 1t is
