w. c.. T. U. Notes.

The m others meeting held at Mrs.
Rohrer's last Friday was quite we'll
attended, and the topic for the after
noon, Narcotics" was a very inter
esting one. Papers were read by
Mrs. John Ramage and Mrs. H. Haw-
Icy, which were freely discussed and
enjoyed. The next meeting will be
held with Mrs. John Ramage, and we
hope to see all the members out, as
these meetings are very enjoyable
and beneficial and should be we'll at
tended by the members. The pro-
gram for this meeting will be an
nounced next week.
The memorial exercises of the men,
bers of the w. G. T. U. at the Con-
gregational church Sunday afternoon
in memory of our late national presi-
dent, Francis E. Willard, were beau
tiful and impressive. Our local pres:
ident, Mrs. Glattly, presided, assist
ed by the vice. president, Mrs.: John
Ramage. 1t would take too much
time and space to go into details, and
we will only be able to give the
names of those who one and all
eulogized her in beautiful and i'm
pressive words. Those who spoke
were Mrs. Glattly, Mr.. Merrill, Mr..
Bailey, Mr.. Dahl, Mrs. Bull, Mrs. A.
Il. Clark and Mrs. Thorn, whose
words brought before US the many
different phases of her noble and ex-
emplary life. Mrs. Thorn led US in
prayer, and her words brought tears
to many eyes. The choir and con-
gregation sang number of her fav-
orite hymns. The church was beau
tifully decorated with cut flowers
and potted plants and draped with
white, festooned with white and pur-
pie ribbon, picture of our beloved
sister occupying conspicuous place,
making the effect extremely lovely.
The meeting WAS dismissed with a
few parting remarks by Mrs. Glatt]y
to the Union, which it is hoped they
will give heed to, for it is only by
unison and cooperation that we can
be strong and 80 do the work our de-
parted sister laid down for US to do.
The meeting was also held in memo.
ry of our late state president, Mrs.
Hobart, who did as much for the
cause of temperance in this state as
Miss Willard did for the nation. Two
noble women have gone to meet their
reward in the home above. ~

The Brokers DemoraIixed.

Reports from the more important railroad
centers show that the ticket brokers are
much demoralized, and so many States are
passing laws detrimental to their business
that, should Congress fail to pass the anti
scalping bill, their business will be badly
cut into through the laws of several of the
States, all of which are much similar to
that passed by the Legislature of New
York. A Cleveland paper publishes an in
terview with one of the most prominent
ticket scalpers in the country, in which he
sizes up the situation, first stating that the
fact that many are going out Of the bus
mess indicates that they are honest men.
He says: THE business now is in such a
condition that a scalper cannot make much
money unless he is crooked. There is no
longer anything worth mentioning for them
in the through ticket business, as rates
have been so arranged and stop-over privi-
leges so restricted that the tickets cannot
be handled profitably. The plan Of charg-
ing $50 for a 1000-mile ticket and giving the
purchaser a rebate of so when he returns
the cover almost prevents scalpers from
handling them. Ticket scalpers however
occasionally still buy 1,0O0-mile tickets on
cents mile to men who object to making
the deposit of So If such men would stop
and think for a moment they would see
that they are paying 25 per cent. on their
money, which is a rather costly arrange
ment for them. The Scalper. of course, al
ways manages to get his $40 rebate. The

Low Rates from San Francisco.

The Canadian Pacific has announced that
it will take its reduced rates into San Fran
cisco. 1t declares that from that city to the
East it will make the following rates: ST.
Paul, $25; Chicago, $3.50; New York, $40.
These rates are first class and the second
class rates will, in each instance, be $40
lower than the rate given above. In MAX
ing these rates the Canadian Pacific will
have to content itself with the ocean route
from San Francisco to the Western termin-
US of its line. The Southern Pacific will not
allow it the use of its Shasta route, and the
ocean route is all that is left for it, At the
present time there is fight on between the
steamship companies and the Southern Pa
cific, which has pulled down the rates be-
tween San Francisco and Portland to $55
net. The Canadian Pacific has taken advan-
tage of this and has decided to carry the
fight into the chief points on the Pacific
coast that are within its reach.
A call was yesterday issued by the chair
man of the Western Passenger Association
agents of the roads of the organization to
be held in Chicago to-day for the purpose
of considering the latest phase of the fight
with the Canadian Pacific. AT the meeting
the propriety of asking the Northern Pa
cifc and the Great Northern either to abol-
iSh the rebate system of selling tickets to
points on the North Pacific coast or to cease
all interchanges of business with the Ca
madam Pacific and the 500 line, and to
route all of their business via Chicago, will
be discussed

CuIhertson VIII Fees.

The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed the
judgment of the Marion Circuit Court
against Blanche Culbertson French for
$1,000 in favor of George A. Cunningham
and Thomas E. Gavin, her attorneys, in
contesting the validity of codicil of her
fathers will. When William s.. Culoertson.
of New Albany, died, he bequeathed to his
daughter 100000, on condition that she
should not marry Leigh French within ten
years after his death. But the young lady
did marry the object of her affections, and
obtained her fortune as well. She paid one
set of attorneys $50, 900 for making settle

This error did not occur at the trial. Nor
does the error fall within any of the other
eight grounds specified in the criminal
code for a new trial. Nor does it furnish
any ground for a distinct assignment Of

The vanda1ia Litigation.

March 10 the Vandalia Railway litigation
will come up in the Superior Court again,
when the court will hear argument on the
demurrer of the State to the eleventh para
graph of the railway company's answer.
This paragraph is considered one of the vi
tai contentious of the litigation. 1t sets
up the plea that the State, having negli-
gently slept on it's rights for many years,
has no right to come in now with claims
against the men who purchased stock in
the company on the assumption that every
thing was clear and that there were no
claims of the character set up by the State
against the road.

THE WABASH EXTENSION
PRESIDENT ASHLEY THINKS THE
OUTLOOK BRIGHT FOR HIS ROAD.
The Ticket Brokers Disheartened
Business-GeneraI Notes.

Competitors of the Wabash lines are
watching with more than ordinary interest
the results of the company extending it's
line to Buffalo by utilizing the Grand Trunk
between Detroit and Buffalo on a lease.
President Ashley is quoted as saying: 1.-THE
Wabash new line between Detroit and Buff
falo, which was started en- March l, under
the recent arrangement with the Grand
Trunk. has thus far been entirely success
full, and 1t expects to derive large amount
of business from a number of lines as soon
as the new route has become well estab-
lshed."
President Ashley says that the outlook
for good net returns on the Wabash main
system is very encouraging. Passenger
business is keeping up very we'll, and under
normal spring conditions should soon show
further Improvement. The floating debt of
the company remains at about 100000 and
all possible efforts will be made to reduce
this amount by June l. The physical con-
dition of the property is being kept up, and
the company has contracted for 10000 tons
of steel rails at the low prices, eighty
pounds rails to the yard. 1t has also con-
tracted for twenty engines.

gave him a sentence of from one to three
years in prison. Mountjoy was one of the
gang arrested for burglarizing the house
of Clara Duvall. The court, in granting
Mountjoy a new trial, stated that he be-
lieved the prisoner had been given an ex-

that Mountjoy had never before been on
