on here and lost sight Of the boys,
and l confess / almost forgot
about them.
Somehow, out in that small
town they keep a better
grip Oh the old recollections.
There is not much happening, and
it must be easier to remember.
When l visit there, the boys slap
me on my back and tell me about
the lickings they gave me, which
1 had forgotten altogether. But
it's when they return the call that
l wanted to talk about.
Every now and then they drop
in on me at my Office here. Usu-
ally I learn all about it in advance
in the local newspaper which still
comes to me. The social column
will have line to the effect that
Bill jerks has gone to visit his
old friend in the city-that's my
self. About the fourth or fifth
day after he is due here I find q
Weary Willie waiting for me just
inside my Office door. Then 1
know his money is gone, and he
has risen early so as to nail me
with certainty.
while the boys are here l have
to keep them going. Sometimes
l have to bail them out in the po-
lice court or have them cared for
in the alcohol ward at Bellevue.
Sometimes it's q handout for q
meal or q bed. I am not proud of
them, but they attach themselves
to me with such q con6ding trust
and tell those old stories about our
youthful scrspes so fathfully-ex-
cept that the New York version al
ways represents me as licking
them-that / have to give up.
And 1 made it a point of honor
never to refer to the circumstance
or the debt when I 60 back home.
So do the boys.
II cant say they turned out ex-
ira we'll. They seem to have gone
to seed. Any one else who saw
them here would called them q LOT
of red-nosed, panhandling loafers,
but in the city they belong to me-
and / won't hear Of it. And when
1 see my Office boy chuckling to
himself and looking significant af.
ter a private conversation with one
of the boys, 1 am severe with him
for days afterward. New York

TRADING STAMPS.
Daily States.

Daily States.
A bill has passed the lower
House prohibiting the use of ira
ding stamps in business. We pre-
sumo that everybody knows what
Grading stamps are and their use
in CON mercial business aud there
Gore it is useless to waste time IN
telling what they are.
To us they appear to be very
harmless and quite useful induce
ment to retail purchasers, and the
bill which is now before the Sc
nate should be defeated. There 10
nothing in the nature of this bust
ness akin to gambling or lottery;
it is simply new and somewhat
attractive system of discount, and
this is a privilege every merchant
who sees fit to give discount In
that way should enjoy the privi-
lege of SO doing. There is, we
fear, entirely too much of a dis
position on the part of the Legis-
lature to interfere in private bust
ness. Such system of legislation
is always pernicious. and, as a
fundamental principle, trade, in
stead of being restricted or ham,
pered, should be as nearly as pos
sible free as the air.
The sweep of this bill is very
wide, and under it even newspa.
Der cannot use coupons for prizes,
uorssny merchant give anything
free as an inducement to his Gus
TONERS. This restriction is not in
deed so much of a wrong to the
trader as it is an interference with
the privileges of the purchasers
1t does not particularly injure the
merchant, as it is restriction or
the purchasers, who, in addition
to their purchases, secure in the
end present more or less hand
some and valuable.
Surely this is a very pleasing
and innocent scheme, and the bill
to suppress it is based on an en-
tirely wrong idea of morals and al
erroneous view of the retail trade
We hope the Senate will knock i
out.
We should state another ano
very important point. The stamps
are only given in each transactions
and their far-reaching good mora
effect is that the scheme tends t.
induce the poor to pay cash TO
purchases. Every intelligent mai
knows the evil of the credit sys
tenn, and that it costs those of mo
derate means many dollars in ad
vance of prices over cash ant
tempt people to indulge very OF
ten in extravagances they can il
afford. 1t should be the aim o
che enlightened lawmaker to ad
vance rather than discourage an.
honest scheme that will tend t.
restrict the crying evil of the Gre
dit system.

dent of Motive Power.

a conference between Superintend-
cnt of Motive Power T. s. Lloyd, Of
the Lackawanna system. and the gen.
eral grievance committee of Sam Sloan
division, Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. was held on Saturday after
noon, which resulted in the reinstate-
ment of Engineer John r. Troch to his
old position, from which he was re-
lieved some time ago by ex-Superin-
tendont j. w. FitzGibbop.
When the new official learned the
facts in the case, Troch was ordered to
resume his regular run on milk train
No. 43, which leaves here at 1910 a. m.
today. taking out engine No. 400, and
thus ends a controversy which has
been under discussion for several
weeks.
Mr.. Lloyd received the committee in
a courteous manner and expressed
himself as being pleased to meet them
both as employees of the company and
as representatives of the brotherhood
and the conference was entirely salts

said;
I'VE will direct your report. gentle

to the county Jail and court house will
be referred to the county commission

us to provide extra compensation for
the gentleman who acted as secretary
Of the grand jury. He will have to be
satisfied by feeling that he has done his
duty and done IL well.

commend your action as a grand jury.
A large number of you have been
in daily attendance upon the pub

cident.
Fireman Evans of the regular en-
CINE attached to the eastbound train
which Collins was making up, testified
that the headlight of his engine was in
good condition and lighted. BE said
that the tracks, or a car upon the
tracks, could be seen about thirty-fve
or forty yards in advance of the en-
CINE. He WAS standing on the side OF
his engine when the switch engine and
cars which struck Collins passed. He
saw the switch engine just before 1t
got to him. He thought he heard
some one call, Look out" and looked
up. That was the fret warning he
had of the approach of the engine. He

going engine, said that he was under
meath his engine when the switch en-
CINE passed. His engine, he said, was
putting off stream ct intervals. He
did not know whether it was putting off
when the switch engine passed OR
not.
Mr.. Chase, in the employ of the G.
Il. as caller, said that he was sanding
with his heels upon the north rail Of
which Collins was working. He said
Collins went around him and walked
westward. Collins was walking on
the track when he passed him and was
the last he saw of him before the
accident. Chase said that car
inspector and q brakeman we're
standing with him. They had
lighted lanterns. He just had time
TO step off the track toward the coal
car which struck Collins. He was
standing at a point opposite the gang
way between the engine and tender OF
the outgoing train. He heard some
one say q moment later, "they have
got somebody" and went to where
Collins was laying. He said Collins
was lying face downward three or four
feet from the track, about the middle
of the first car behind the engine.
DIR. Turner, who had attended Col
Inns, said that he had not treated him
for impairment of his eyesight. he
said Collins had q lacerated wound
over the left eye. He remembered
that the Plaintiffs nose was injured,
but did not think any bones were
broken. The other injuries which the
plaintiff claimed he had received, he
remembered.
This closed the evidence. Judge
Buckler then read come authorities on

DAMAGE SUIT
Testimony Of Supt. Martin
And the Trainmen
HIS OWN NEGLIGENCE
Contributory To the Accident Is
Charged By the Railroad Attor-
neys-The Case Now To Go To

The attorneys in the Collins damage
suit are arguing the case before the
Jury today. Judge Buckler made the
opening argument this morning, pres
entine several authorities andsumming
up the evidence. He was followed by
Capt Beall, who argued contributory
negligence on the part OF Collins, of
fering authorities in support Of his
argument. The case will probably not
go to the jury until late this afternoon
or tomorrow morning.
The evidence closed yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Tegtmeyer, continuing his
testimony, said that every employe of
the railroad com pany is supposed to
look for himself and that lookouts
were placed on the leading car west Of
the Campbell street crossing TO protect
the public at the different street cross
ings.

1O4 of the company which reads:
When train Is being pushed by an
engine Except when shifting and max
ing up trains in yards), f1agman must
be stationed in a conspicuous position
on the front Of the leading car, so as to
perceive the first sign of danger and
Immediately signal the enginemsn.
He said that the rule was adopted in
1890. Subsequent to it's adoption,
about a year or two ago, he had given
oral instructions to have a man for the
leading car or engine running west of
the Campbell street crossing but that
there was no rule to that effect in
the yards east of the Campbell street
crossing.
Engineer Bains, who was on the
switch engine pushing the coal car
which struck Collins, said that he bad
been running the engine ouly q night
or two being called from his regular
run. He had worked in the yards
about year previously, however. he
knew nothing about the custom or rule
regarding lookout or signals to warn
employees and was running his euR ine

The horses attached to one of Bal

little experiment of their own yester-
day. Starting on lower Ell Paso street
they came up to and turned into Over
land, incidentally tearing up q few
posts on the way.
From Overland they finally headed
in the direction of the T. 81 P. depot,
and there the driver regsined control
of the frightened beasts. AT the
stable, they denied any runaway had
occurred, and said the driver was mere
ly trying to catch train.
