would be in the power of the railroad.
He had commended for this right and Il
was conceded to him.
Col. Lee said that the officials Of the
railroad lines with which he transact
ed business had been excentionail,
considerable and prompt in meeting All
demands upon them and he said these
qualities had been SO marked that ne,
had commended them especially in his
official report. He did not believe
that any actual suffering had arisen
on account of the insufficiency of off,
GERS. He thought, on the other hand.
that suffering had been caused by tho
failure Of the men to control them
selves. He thought the beer drinking
in the camp and the whiskey drinking
outside had much to do in causing dis
tress and disease.
1.-THE contiguity of Chattanooga witt
its saloons and the freedom with which
the selling of pies and cakes and bee,
in the camp were permitted, WERE" he
said, "far more prolific causes of dis
ease to my mind than the sleeping or
the ground or any other cause that
has been suggested.
In conclusion Col. Lee said that he
believed that the department should
have more credit for what it had done
and not be blamed for what it had not
done and he thought the accomplish
ments of the past five months were
simply marvellous.

whereby she will start for Canton,

Eight years ago a Western nursery
man was awarded a contract to set out
a large number of trees along the
streets of Garden City. Kan, upon the
understanding that he was to be paid
for such of them as might be found to
be growing and thrifty at the end of
two years. The two years rolled
around and the contractor called for
an inspection and counting of the sap

fused either to conduct the inspection
or to pay for the trees, claiming that
the whole contract was illegal. The

GUILTY
Says the Jury in the Clifford Case.

The case of Lieut.. Paul Clifford, of
the Salvation Army, about which 50
much has been published in the pa
pers was concluded Thursday morn
ing by the jury rendering verdict
of guilty but recommending the
prisoner to the mercy of the court.
1t will be remembered Clifford was
indicted for grand larceny charged
with purloining team and buggy
from Frank Pride. The penalty is
from two to ten years in the peni-
Tertiary. His council at once moved
to set aside the verdict but it is
generally thought there is little
probability of this being done.
