Personal Damage Case TIED Under q New
Jury Law.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Jan. lS.-In
the Hickman VS.. City of Superior per-
sonal damage case the jury has awarded
a verdict of $s4S to the plaintiff, who
maintained that his ankle was injured
by falling as result Of hole in the
sidewalk This case was interesting
from the fact that it was the first one
here tried under recent law which
holds taxpayers as incompetent to sit in
a jury where the city is involved, on
the ground that they are really de-
PENDANTS or in sympathy with the de-
tense. The case may be appealed.

ClAMOROUS CROWDS.
President Mckinley Given n Rousing Re-
ception at Burlington.

Galesburg. ILL.,. Oct. 13.-Across the wind
swept prairies Of Iowa the president of
the United States has been whirled to-day
on his return trip from the Omaha exposi-
tion. In Western Iowa the crowds were
large and clamorous at every point, but
when the eastern part of the state was
reached their magnitude seemed to swell
at every stopping place. until at Burling-
ton. on the Mississippi, the climax was
reached. There the president did not at
tempt to talk. but was taken in a car
riage through the brilliantly lighted
streets and for 20 blocks was kept busy
lifting his hat in response to the wild
cheers of the citizens of Burlington.
Possibly the worst crush OF people
President Mckinley ever experienced was
at the Burlington station, when the car
riages came back The president was al
most forced to fight his way for 80 yards
in order to reach the entrance to his pri-
vate car. but throughout all this he pre-
served his good temper and maintained a
smiling countenance. as indeed, has been
the case with him during all his Western
trip. As the train swept eastward the ten
or of the presidents speeches seemed TO
center more and more ON the question OF
the foreign policy of the government, and
judging by the applause of his auditors.
they were largely in accordance with his
sentiment.

Will Smuggle Them In.

Virden. oct. 13.-While the streets are
practically deserted tonight. there is
still feeling OF unrest among the min
ers, demonstrated by the periodical
visits OF small groups to the station all
during the night. 1t is felt that an at
tempt will be made to quietly SNUG
gle the negroes back to town before
morning and place them within the
stockade. IL Is said on the best Of
authority that President Loucks OF the
Virden company tonight
wired Governor Tanner. saying in sub
stance that the negro miners would
most certainly be placed within the
stochade. 1t is not learned that the
special train has reached East st.
Louis, and there Is an air OF mystery
regarding just where IL is. but the gen
orally accepted theory is that the train
was stopped at Plainville. about %
miles south OF here. and II is confident
ly expected that before sunrise an at
tempt will be made to run the train
back to the stockade.

the wonder of the world. We have
much to be thankful for.

was created after the surrender OF Santi-

Montgomery. The purpose OF the board
was to secure information direct from Of

ton. as to the respective merits Of the
various arms used. and while the matter
was fresh In their minds. to obtain any
suggestions they might have to make re-
garding improvements anu changes that
would make the arms more effective.
The report shows that the 3.2-inch field
guns are satisfactory in every way. The
board also reports favorably upon the
Krag-Jorgensen arm for the infantry and
cavalry. No fault Is found with the
Springfield rife except that smokeless
powder would be much better. Smokeless
powder Is also found to be very desirable
for the field guns.
