A New Order of Things

In the recent trial of the case of W.
A. Kuechenburg VS.. the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railway, an old or
der OF things was revised which speaks
very highly for the intelligence of a
Columbia county jury. 1t has been
usually said that, no matter what the
justice of claim might be against a
railroad company or a municipality,
a farmer jury would find against
the corporation. But the jury in
the Kuechenburg case was entirely
composed of farmers and the evidence
with which they had to deal was very
conflicting; yet, this Columbia county
farmer jury sifted the evidence, took
the law as it came from the court, and
In the face Of tradition decided in favor
OF the railroad company, and their
decision is almost universally regarded
as right. Portage Democrat.

A Patriotic Service.

The members of the G.. A, r. and
of the w. r. G. were invited by Rev.
George Z. Weiss, of the Congrega-
tlonal church, to hear, Sunday even
ing, a patriotic address delivered by
him, which proved g genuine treat to
the large audience present, and es-
pec1ally to the veterans who had
passed through one war siege and who
no doubt were ready, heart and hand,
to again answer their country's call.
Rev. Mr.. Weiss address was intensely
patriotic, fervent, eloquent and zeal
Gus, and possessed the true ring of
loyalty. No heart could but respond
to the touching sentiments expressed
for the oppressed of other nations, and
there was no soul but what was stirred
by the pathos and sweetness implied
and the stirring enthusiasm manifest
ed for the honor of our nation. No
more lofty ideas or noble sentiments
IN behalf of country and countrymen
could have been advanced, or a
broader view taken of the loyalty of
our fellow men and women who have
responded to the patriotic call, to pro-
tect our cOuntry's honor, to succor the
needy, to rescue the martyrs from
tyrant power-and at the same time to
place over all, that beautiful emblem
OF our own struggles for truth and
freedom, our dearly beloved and dearly
bought Flag of the Free an emblem
never to be soiled or dragged in the
mire, and which floats proudly aloft as
a lesson and warning to other coun-
tries. The speakers eloquence placed
our flag where it rightly belongs
upon the highest pedestal Of truth and
justice, loyalty and righteousness
embodyinG the loftiest ideals of man
hood for humanitarian support, for
every right hand to defend in honor,
even to the death. |, for one of his
many hearers, can but feebly present
the exalted sentiments which the
speaker expressed, and which sank
into my heart. and soul in ready ac-
quiescence; yet | would like to here
extend one word of appreciation of the
completeness and beauty of his patri-
otic address and join with him in say
ing:
Let US rally anew,
With hearts burning true,
Meath the folds of our pride;
Alott we Will raise it,
Wen laud and we'll praise it
Dear Liberty robe!
NO fraud, no injustice, no misrule will we
stand
That shall blacken the fame Of our dearly
loved land. Fl. L. S.

Baseball.

One of the most interesting games
OF baseball ever played in Jefferson
county was the one at the county seat
last Sunday, when the Crescents of
this city were defeated by the Jeffer-
sons by score of 2 to l. Both pitchers,
Berndt for the Crescents and Heimerl
for the JeffersOns, did excellent work
and were well supported by their
respective teams. The summary fol-
lows:

The Sacred Heart college team
played at Juneau Monday afternoon
and highly exciting contest was the
result. With the score standing z to
IN favor of the Sacred Hearts in the
last half Of the ninth inning the UNI
pire rendered a decision which the
collegians considered very unfair to
them and they left the field. They
claim to have received the worst of
the umpiring all through the game
and therefore were justified in leaving
the field. Gleason and Carr we're in
the points for Sacred Heart, and
Heimerl and Walther for Juneau.
Gleason struck out eleven men. A
feature OF the game was the batting of
O'Malley, of the Sacred Hearts.
The Crescents will play the Water
loos at Washington park next Sunday

Leg Crushed.

George Pyle. aged 26, of West Wheel
ing, Ohio. and painter by trade, was
ru, over by several freight cars in the
G. h. yards sabOut 500 o'clock las,
night, and suffered compound, com
minuted fracture OF the right leg be-
low the knee. He was discovered q
few minutes later, by the yard hands,
and Chief of Police Lockhart summon
ed with Policeman Wipkler. Pyle,
who was suffering intensely, was carri-
ed TO the depot waiting room where
Drs. Villas ard Braden where called to
attend him.
The sufferer was made as comfort
able as posi- BILE, and later was removed
to the Sisters hospital. The leg wa Z
not ampu ated this morning, although
it may have to coma off when the pa
tieut has recovered in a measure from
his shock.
There are two stories as to this acct
dent. The railroad people hold that
Pyle wanted to get free ride out OF
town, and mistook bunch of cars that
were tn be swit ched, as freight ready
tn pull out, and fell from off the draw
heads. On the other hand it is c aimed
that Pyle WAS Only crossing the tracks,
and not caring to wait until the string
of cars pulled out of the way, tried to
c limb over between the cars with the
result noted.
DR.. Race, who is attending Pyle,
says that it will not be necessary to
amputate his leg as there is only q
fructure Pyle has only been in the
City four days and is not known to the
painters here. He had $15 on his per-
son when the accident occurred.

SEWER EXTENSION.
Some People Get the Extension, While
Others do not.

Some People Get the Extension, While
Others do not.
There is one popularity in Ell Paso
tn at is not found anywhere else in the
world. Some people apply for an ex-
tension of the clty's sewer System and
the council grants the request for the
asking, while others petition the coun-
Gil and put in petit on after petition
and no attention is paid GO them.
Mr.. Hammett during the past year
has spent thousands of dollars for i'm
provements in Ell Paso. He has built
several houses on streets where there
are no sewers and has petitioned the
council for sewers, but no attention
has been paid to his request. Mr.. Du-
Boise and several others who have
| been spending q great deal of money
| in improvements, have made the same
application, but it availed them moth.
| ing.
Not long sin e Mayor Magoffin de-
| cided he did not want such q large
peach orchard so be cut part of his
land up and plotted it into lots. He
then made application for sewer extern
quest. The HERALD endorses the
| plan of Mayor Maeoffin in cutting his
| land into lois ard endorses the action
of the council in giving him a sewer
| system, but why should they be so
| quick to grant Mayor Magoffin q sewer
system and refuse it to Hammett, Du-
Boise and others?
Can anv man say that Messrs. Ham
NETT, DuBoise and others have not
proven themselves benefactors to Ell
Paso and that their request should not
have been granted as quick as the re-
quest of Mayor Magoffin? This is the
point.
