coin Call Case.
Washington, April 1.-THE case of
the Western Union Telegraph company
against the Call Publishing company
of Lincoln, Neb., has been decided in
favor of the newspaper by the United
States supreme court Justice Brewer
Lincoln newspaper and the suit was
based upon the allegation that the
telegraph company has Disseminated
against 1t In the matter of tolls in fa-
vor of the Lincoln Journal The feder-
al supreme court affirmed the opinion
of the Nebraska supreme court.
1t was alleged in behalf of the Call
that while that paper was taxed at the
rate of SIS per 100 words, the Journal
was required to pay only s1.50 per 100
words. The telegraph company con-
tended that its services to the Call
company were a matter OF interstate
commerce, subject to regulation only
by congress and not by state law or by
common law, and that as congress- had
taken no action the telegraph company
could not be restrained. In handing
Brewer asked:
Can 1t be that the great multitude Of
Interstate commercial transactions are
freed from the burdens incurred by the
common law as SO defined and are
subject to no rule except that to be
found in the statutes Of congress-?
I'VE are clearly of the opinion that
pies of the common law are operative
on all interstate commercial transact
tions except SO far as they are modified
by congressional enactment"
Judgment for s1,097.66 is rendered
against the telegraph company.

Cause Big Losses Of Cattle

Denver, Colo, April 1s.-Reports
from northern Colorado are to the ef-
feet that vertible blizzard has pre-
vailed on the prairies for the past
twenty-four hours and still continues.
The loss of stock will be heavy. In the
vicinity Of Denver and on the plains the
storm is described as the worst in
years.
The snow is drifting badly and as
railroad cuts are filling up serious
trouble will be experienced IL the
storm continues for another twelve
hours Railroad traffic has not been
impeded thus far, but city business
has been hampered.
The severe snow storms Of the past
two weeks are believed to have caused
serious losses in the stock country in

and South Dakota. In many places
lambing had already commenced and
where a sheep had lain down the storm
was sure to claim 1t as a victim.

Love the Conqueror came to me-
He whom did long deride:
Gave humility for pride,

My rejoicing.

Glad to be with garlands tied.
Love the Awakener came to me:
Called my sleeping soul to strife,
offered gifts of fuller life
GVish the measure
OF my pleasure);
And the bud that knew no bee
Burst, q rose with beauty rife,
Love the Tester came to me;
For the paean gave the dirge.
For caresscs gave the scourge

Did importune),
Till my breathing seemed to be
but the tide Of sorrows surge.
Love the Ennobler came to me.
With the cross as his device,
Saying, Shrink not from the price
(Pain the burden.
Peace the guerdon);
Sorrow bravely borne shall be
Doub1y sweet as sacrifice"
Love the Revealer came to me
On this battled height and shows
Yonder river of repose:
Not by creeping,
But by leaping,
Learns the rill the harmony
That within the river flows"
