While Washington is not a great manu-
featuring mart in the accepted sense it
occupies a notable place among cities for
being the home Of numerous establishments
whose outputs require the highest attain
u.ents of the skilled artisan and most per-
feet machinery. To the many of such char
acter already in successful operation has
been added the plant of the Cahill Writing
Machine Manufacturing Company, Wash
irgton corporation, of which Gen. Ellis
Spear is president James E. Lambie vice
president. Charles H. Schaff secretary and
Thaddeus Cahill treasurer. The fourth and
fifth floors of the Barber & Ross building
corner of 18th and G streets are occupied
in the manufacturing and assembling of the
Cahill electric typewriter. the fourth floor
being devoted to the former. The machines
ana the mechanics in the spacious apart
nent are the very best obtainable the
nicely required to make the numberiess
parts entering the composition of a type
writer requiring mathematical precision of
the most demanding character. The assem-
bling Of these parts Is carried out on the
fifth floor. and a force Of over a hundred
men and youths is employed in the two
branches. The Cahill electrical typewriter
is the invention Of a Washington man. DR..

The company is turning out numbers of

Clarinda, March 6.-Evangelst Will
Jams Wins out. the jury this morning
declaring he had a right to put Justice
Ferguson, of Shenandoah on the auc-
ton block and, after holding him up
to ridicule and contempt, bid him in for
nickle, declaring, as one witness
said. 10 cents, offered by one in the au-
dience, too much. The case was prac-
ticaly decided yesterday when Judge
Smith, after celebrating over the mat
ter, decided that what Williams said
was privileged. Your correspondent
was not present when the judge made
his ruling and SO far we have been
unable to learn just why an evangelist
should be privileged to attack ones
character, unless he could prove his
assertions; and in this case the defense
offered no evidence. AS soon as the
judge made his ruling the defense
knew they We're safe and SO offered no
testimony. The attorneys arguments
took up the balance of the day and the
case went to the jury late in the even
ing. The history of the case is famil-
lar to the T.-R. readers.
1t appears that on the Sd day of De-
cember, 1899. Rev. Williams was con-
Quoting revival services II the armory
at Shenandoah and in sermon took
occasion to roast" Mr. Ferguson for
alleged dereliction of duty as justice
of the peace; that in the presence of a
large congregation he said:
II understand you have a young jus
tice of the peace in your city who re-
fuses to issue a warrant for the seizure
of jugs. Such a justice is unworthy of
the office and should be removed and a
man elected who would do his duty
Williams in answer to some criticism
of his remarks took occasion to repeat
them the following night and added:
II did not say the little justice had
done SO, but it seems it hit the mark
While was firing around in the dark
down came the little j. p.'
On the night of Dec. A following, re-
ferring to a possible damage suit, he
said of Justice Ferguson:
Your young j. p. rates himself at So

But as explained above the court de-
cided that kind of talk was privileged

DcS Moines, March 6.--The executive
council began work on Monday on the
assessment of railroad property of the
state. Owing to the fact that some of
the roads nave not yet filed their re.
ports, it was impossible to accomplish
anything Monday. Governor Shaw was
called east Monday night by teie-
gram announcing the serious illness of
his father, and he left at once for Yer
mont Auditor Merriam is i'll in Texas.
But the delay in the railroad reports
makes it Impossible to proceed with the
work anyway at this time. When the
figures are all in and ready by the
middle Of the month the council will
also be ready.
From the reports already in the Sec
rotary of the council. Mr.. A. H. DAVE

valuable statistics respecting the rail-
read business in Iowa in 1899. The fig
ures show a vast increase in the bust
ness. But one road shows decrease
in gross earnings. This is road which
positively refuses to make reports to
the state as to its Iowa business, but
proportions its Iowa business accord

business the enormous cost of keeping
