perfect right to give.

was at the card table she was chattering
at the rear of her tent with one of her
many lovers. And one night she eloped.
The old man used to gamble all night
and sleep all day, and when he awoke
one afternoon from his slumbers he de-
tected her absence. A cowboy named
Bunny" was also missing. and the old
man, by making inquiries. discovered
that they had been seen together dur

horse. buckled his revolver belt around
him and started across the prairie to-
ward the ranch where Bunny was en-

said "Jes-so" as usual. but sold out his

PURSUED THE ELOPERS.

Chicago Record One of the most to,ch-
Ing of the many tragedies of the old Santa
Fe trail occurred at Newton, Kan. in the
early days, and the chief actor was an
old man, dwarfish in stature and de-
formed, who kept a saloon and gambling
house. He had a wonderfully intelligent
face and quick, shrewd eyes, and had only
two apparent objects in life. One was to
accumulate money for he was a perfect
miser n a handy man at all games of
cards, and the other was a watchful ana
tender solicitude for the welfare of his
daughter. the only being for whom he
ever showed any respect or affection. She
was a beautiful girl, bright and intelli-
gent, and apparently she loved the
rocked old miser. He was educated and
taught her from books in a building half
tent and half shanty that stood behind
his gambling house. She did the cooking
and was seldom seen except when he was
with her. Every luxury that could be
secured on the inhospitable frontier was
seized for the girl by the old man, and
the only money he was ever known to
expend from the large quantities gath
cred in was for her benefit.
The story went that she was his only
child, and that he had come west to
make a fortune in order that when she
grew to womanhood she might live like a
lady in the states.
Nobody knew where he came from, al
though for several years he had driven a
team and hauled some. goods Of his own
on the Santa Fee trail, nor did any one
know his name. He carried a nickname,
as every man of consequence in the COM
munity did, and it was derived from his
peculiar. habitual expression. "Jes-so."
To every remark that was addressed to
him, to every assertion that was made in
his presence. be it a matter Of dinner or

tee of s5o, 900 a year.
MIR. Reed with his wife and his
laughter, Miss Kitty Reed, was booked
to sail for Europe on the Paris. The
booking has been cancelled. The speaker
win remain here until he has decided
whether he shall take the tempting offer
that has been placed In front of him.

Absolute guarantees was given to Mr..
Reed when he visited President MoKin-
ley and Mark Hanna at Jekyl Island that
there would not be sign of administra-
ton objection to his reelection as head of
the house of Representatives. Even at
that time he had letters telling him OF the
salary that he could have by practising
law in New York.
Mr.. Reed has had for many years the
idea that man from Maine should be
elected President, and that he was the
man He realized his friends tell me,
that Mckinley was to be renominated,
hot he. tcht nj
come his way next, he decided to forego
a fortune in the law and stick to the post
of Speaker until his turn came to ascend.
He was pressed harder than ever, how
ever, when he came back North, and
Monday the pressure attained such
strength that he decided to postpone his
trip TO Europe. One of his closest friends
assured me that he would accept the
$50. 900 year.
If he does so lively time will be precip-
itated in the next Congress. because 1t Is
part of Mr.. Reeds plan to give up the
Speakership. There will be at least two
Republican candidates-Charles d.
Grosvenor of Ohio. and James S. Sher-
man OF New York.
MIR. Grosvenor Is the closest political
ally In the House that President Mckin-
ley and Mr.. Hanna possess. He will be
the Presidents candidate. Mr.. Sherman
wants to take the place of MIR. Reed, and
Mr.. Platt is back of him in his desire.
He was named by President Mckinley
to be a general appraiser, which would
have made him q highly paid federal Off :
Ger, probably for life. He also would
nave been put out of the way of President
Mckinley and Mir. Hanna's friend
Grosvenor.

The rrst case to 60 on trial was tie act
lon of Albert N. Watson VS.. Portland
& Cape Elizabeth railroad.
This case was first tried at the April
term. 1897 before Judge Walton. The
plaintiff sued for damages for personal
injuries received by being thrown from
the. front platform of an electric car.
Judge Walton applied tho rule govern
ing steam railroads in this state, that a
man receiving injuries while standing
on the platform Of moving car cannot
recover as he is disqualified under the
head of "oontributory negligence" the
rules Of the road stating explicitly that
passengers are moi allowed to stand on
platforms. Judge Walton on this ground
ordered verdict for defendant.
The plaintiffs attorneys took the case
to the law court claiming that the rule
governing steam railroads ought not to
apply to:eleotric cars, where the passen-
gers always doisnd are.expected to stand
upon the platforms. The law court sus'
tanned the exceptions and granted a new
trial of the case
The new trial, which opened yesterday
morning, was conducted upon substan-
TALLY the lines of the first trial. The facts
are as follows:
In 1896, MIR. Albert n. Watson was at
the opening Of the New England fair.

the electric cars were all crowded. As

car which was already heavily loaded.
In front of the power house at Knight
vile, the car went over an open switch
on to the paving stones and Mr.. Watson
was thrown violently to the ground
striking on the back of his head and sus-
tanning injuries which he claims have
incapaciated him for work since. He
claims $40, 600 for personal injuries.
For the plaintiff Ii. 81 W. j. knowlton
and L. NJ. Webb appear, and for the de-
Tense, Clarence Hale and A. f. Belcher.
After the opening OF the case the plain
tiff was called as the first witness and
related his story. Then followed many
eye witnesses to the accident, and in the
afternoon the defense put in its testimo-
ny. The defense will conclude its tes-
timony this morning and the arguments
will probably be made some time today
and the case given TO the jury.

undertakes.
Resolved THAT as most excellent re-
suits in this direction have marked che
enactment and enforcement of tbs SO

committee do earnestly recommend to
this body that 1t use all its influence to
cause to be enacted and judiciaily en-
