O'DONNELL LOSES WLL CASE.

In the Probate Court Monday
Judge Cutting decided against the pub
lie administrator, l.. II, ODonncll, and
appointed the MerchaDts' Loan and
Trust Company administrator Of the
Fullerton estate. Former Acting Pro-
bate Judge Barten appeared for Mr..
O'Donnell and argued that under the
law the heirs could not name the ad-
ministratOr. This has been the ruling
in the Probate Court since the incum-
bency OF Judge KnickerbOcker, hut
Judge Cutting reversed 1t. The case
turned upon the construction of u
statute providing that nonresident
heirs cannot serve rs administrators.
Mr. Batten held that this incapacitated
them from naming the administrator,

DISCRETIONARY POWER ASKED.

The Illinois Railroad AMI Warehouse
Commission asks the Legislature for a
law giving 1t discretionary power To
pass on the ACCESSIBILITY of the con-
str,,ction of new lines of railway In the
state.
The object stated Is To prevent spccu-
lators from prcying on the crcdulous
public and putting bonds on the mar
kct for the construction of roads that
can never be placed on u paying basis.
Another and an entirely proper oh
jcct would he to prevent the unncccs.
sary paralleling of lines which are al
sufficient for the region served. The
building of lines for the mere purpos,
of selling them out to u strong corpora

snry competition may become more
| serious evil than 1t ever has been.
This kind of speculation not onl.
preys upon credulOus purchasers OF the
securities of the new railroads. hut II
robs the holders of the securities of tl'
roads which are held up. II Is worse
| therefore. than the speculation which
does not threaten an existing line witt

The difficulty Is to prevent sucl
abuses without intrusting some body ol
men with too much power. The power
to veto the construction of I'M unn"c
cssary road carries with II the power
to veto the construction of a ront
which is really needed. 1t carries will

great combination and to protect u
against wholesome competition. \
power which can he 50 easily abused

At the coming meeting Of the
Barre Retail Merchants Association
it is said that the issuing Il licers to
itiuerant peddlers will come up for dis.
cussion with strong probability that
adhesive action will be taken. This
is just as it should be. These fellows
VINO virtually "give nothing for Some
thing" are the greatest evil to the
mercantile interests of q place that
can exist. In addition to the fact
that they sell inferior goods at prices
usually in excess of what the mer.
chants charge. for letter goods
lies that that they pay no taxes
and thus do nothing to con.
tribute to the support Of the city.
They work an incalculable injury to
the honest merchant and as rule
swindle the poor deluded mortals who
buy of them. The license fee charg-
ed them should be so high as to be
prohibitive, and If the merchants
should succeed In bringing this re-
suit about they would not only re.
ceive the praise from their associates
which the action woL d merit, but
would also get in time the thanks Of
the pc pc for protecting them from
these vandals. BY all means let the
subject be taken up and pressed un.
til the desired end is secured.

Tested Her Strength.

Charley NJ. was at home from college,
spending his summer vacation. The
MS We're people fairly we'll to do, and
Charley was passing the forenoon very
comfortably on the cool and shady
veranda.
Down by the barn yard fence, in q
neglected place, crop of strong,
healthy weeds had sprung up and
f1ourshed under the summer sun. Left
unmolested IN the rush of work on the
farm, they were fast becoming blot
on the other e'ise orderly premises. and
that morning Charley's father-the
"old man'-had sailed forth and was
now making a vigorous assault upon
the patch.
Suddenly he left off his work and
came up into the yard. Taking a
broomstick which happened to be lean
ing against the veranda. he laid 1t on
the grass. then turned to Charley and
said:
"Git down here and see If you can
pull me over that stick"
He held In his hand a small chain, in
each end Of which was inserted stout
stick to serve as a handle. Then the
tug began and developed into quite a
spirited contest. But at last Charley
succeeded in dragging the old man
across the line.
There. thatIl do" he said, dropping
his end of the chain. II guess you've
got strength enough to pull them
weeds down there by the barn."
II never said word" said Charley,
telling the story afterward, but before
noon there weren't any weeds left
standing."-Youth's Companion.

Mr.. Putnam took him behind the

character and the magnitude or the

without seeming to do so, the varied
duties Of the employees and the attain

Putnam said:
"I'm pleased to have had a chance
to show the library to you, and If your
friend will fill out an application blank
and send it, and if he passes the neces-
sary examination, l think there Will
be no difficulty in placing his name on
