ELECTROLYSIS SUITS.
Chicago Begins Action Against Street
Railway Company For Damages.

Chicago, March 4-The first of what
promises to be a series of lawsuits
against the various street railway COM
panies of Chicago for the recovery of
damages for the alleged destruction of
water mains by electrolysis was filed
yesterday in the Circuit court.
The action, in the form of suit for
$500 damages, was brought by Corpora
ton Counsel Thornton against the Chi
cago, North Shore Street Railroad COM
pany, whose line extends from the linz
its power house to Evanston. The dam
ages specified are in a ten-inch water
main laid in Evanston avenue opposite
the street railway power house between
Argyle park and Winnemack. The
claim is that the return current of cleo
tricity in leaving the water main at the
power house created a chemical action
which disintegrated the iron of the
pipes

TAYLOR RIDDLE STAYS.
House Scheme to Get Him Out OF
Office Has Failed.

The senate today killed the house
measure to reorganize the state live
stock sanitary commission. This law
proposed to make the state pay the in
spectors instead of requiring the rail-
roads to do so as the present rule is.
The bill was also designed to give the
seventeen million dollar cattle industry
in Kansas some measure of protection
from Texas fever by requiring cattle
coming into the state during the open
season to be dipped but the house
blinded by partisanship fixed the bill so
it would legislate Taylor Riddle out Of
office as secretary of the commission.
Riddle is also chairman of the Populist
state committee.
The senate in it's desire to save Rid
die from the political grave yard killed
the bill and politics again killed bill
that was really beneficial to the cattle
interests of the state.
Here is another case where if the
matter had been relegated to the peo-
pie, they would have voted right. Leg
islatures as a means of making laws
are on the high road to becoming OBJ
solete. The people can make their own
laws a great deal better. They might
not make so many, but they would ac-
complish more.

WOMEN'S SYMPATHY.
Saves Starving Woman Shoplifter
From Jail.

Kansas City, March A sudden dis
turbance in the store of the Jones Dry
Goods company this morning, the ex-
cited protests of a woman and the deep
voice of police officer caused the
women shoppers to gather about the
couple at the shoe counter. A little,
thin, shrunken woman, dressed in a
black gown, was crying feebly in the
grasp of Officer Hayden and trying to
conceal behind her back the satchel of
articles she had stolen from the counter.
Something in her protests and excuses
and her pitiful pleading to be let go ap-
pealed to the women. They made a big
group around her; other women from
all over the floor gathered about her
and asked what the trouble was. She
said she was Mrs. Annie Stergler of Ar
mourdale and that she had stolen shoes
and stockings and what things she
could to sell them to dress her children
She had six of them.
Here Officer Hayden tried to interrupt
and take the woman to the police sta
ton, but the listeners protested so loud
ly he consented to let her finish.
She had six children, she continued,
and they were half naked and starving.
The oldest was II years, the youngest
only IS months. Her husband had been
sick for months and there was no food
in the house.
She finished with a sob; and a woman
take to let her go. officer?"
The officer shook his head.
I'VE will pay for the stuff said an
other woman, purse in hand.
I'VE will pay three times over" said
another.
Let her go. Please do. You wouldn't
arrest this poor creature What good
would it do? What would her children
do?'
officer Hayden took the prisoner to
the police station, where Lieut. Weber,
after inquiring into the affair, released
her, and wrote on his report these
words: cit would have been a greater
sin to lock up this woman away from
her children than she committed in
stealing the goods

Young Woman Meets With a Mishap
at Dog Show.

New York, March 4.-John Fish, a
mason and builder, with offices on Mad

ton last night accompanied by his

sergeant that his daughter had petted
a wolf hound at the dog show Thurs
day night and had been bitten in the
thumb of the right hand, Fish wanted
to know if the dog could not be de-
tanned so it might be watched, as his
daughter feared hydrophobia.

legal way of OBTAINING the dog and
talked reassuringly to the young wo-
man, telling her that she need not wor-
ry if she had the wound cauterized. The
