mean to say that nothing can be
accomplished along the line of
reform? Every reform that has
come about has resulted in men

driven willingly, though. North

Simple Dinner Gowns.

The excessive simplicity Of many Of
the dinner gowns has been much criti-
cised, but especially for young women
the fashion is such a dainty one that
it's popularity is assured for some
time. A charming gown Of this de-
scription is a very sheer Grape made
over white satin, with two founces
trimmed with lace and insertion. The
waist is of lace and insertion, with
puffings Of the Grape around the top
of the waist. A belt and sash of panne
velvet in pale yellow is the only trim
ming on the gown. A simple gown,
but an exceedingly expensive one, is
made Of lace and net, with bands Of
satin folds on the underskirt. The
waist is tucked and has a deep bertha
of lace SO long thai it looks like a
bolero jacket. With this gown is worn
a black chiffon belt and sash, the only
touch of contrast, but a most effective
one.-Harper's Bazaar.

Speed War Imminent.

Indications are that another speed war
between Chicago and Omaha may be in
sugurated as a result of the Chicago &
Northwestern's cut to 1211 hours between
these points. which becomes effective Nov.
3. in connection with the Union Pacific win
ter schedule. The new time table shows
that the overland limited will leave Chi
cago at s p. m. and arrive at Omaha at $50
a. m At present the Chicago & North
i'm thirteen hours and twenty-five minutes
and thirteen hours and thirty minutes The
Chicago. Burlington x Quincy runs a day
train which makes the fastest time of any
road-thirteen hours and fifteen minutes
but it's through train makes the same time
as the Northwestern 1917 hours. The chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific schedule is
cago. Milwaukee & st. Paul. thirteen hours
and fifty minutes. and the Illinois Central
thirteen hours and twenty minutes, and
there is no doubt that the Chicago, Bur
lington * Quincy and the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific will meet the Chicago &
Northwestern cut in time. which will
probably precipitate another war of speed
similar to the one fought out in the winter
of 1899. At that time the contest was mainly
for the mail contract, and the Rock Island
started the cut. Then, as now. the Lake
Shore was carrying the transcont1nenta
mail into Chicago and there transferred 1t
to the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy. The
Rock Island connects with the Lake Shore
at EngleWOOd, fifteen minutes out OF Chi
cago. and ii arranged a schedule with the
Lake Shore which gave 1t an advantage OF

A STORY FULL OF PAIN.
Why William C1une Is Suing the Big
Four Railroad.

William Clune yesterday brought suit
against the Big -Four Railway Company,
for $500 damages. He says he was Grip
pied in Coal Hill. Ark. by having his foot
crushed and broken and wrist sprained. He
AYERS that he tel%egraphed to his sister,
Mrs. Nellie Stuard. of this city. for a
ticket TO indianapolis, and that she pur-
chased a ticket from Coal Hill to Indian
apolis to be sent TO Clune by telegraph,
and paid the company $3.50. He says the
agent of the company promised TO send the
ticket at once and notify his sister when
Clune left Arkansas and state when he
would arrive i'm order that she might meet
him at the station.
He says that six days after his sister
purchased the ticket he received a mes
sage from her asking why he did not come.
He ayers that the ticket was not sent, al
though lie sent to the station each day 10
inquire about il. and upon receipt of her
message he went to the agent and oe-
manded the ticket. He says the agent said
no ticket had been sent. but he telegraphed
for it and it arrived the next day.
When he reached indianapolis he says il
was 4 o'clock in the morning and there was
no one at the station to meet him and he
had to walk with his crutches to the resi-
dence of his sister, which greatly aggra-
waited his injuries.

must bear the consequences OF his neSl-

The Supreme Court sustained a judgment
for 5000 against the Indiana Southern on
account of the death of George }. Peyton,
an engineer on the +. & l.. who was killed
in a collision between his train and an In

ed from a Y between the two roads on to

was killed before the passage of the act of
1899. relieving plaintiffs in damage suits
from the necessity of a%verring absence of
contributory negligence on the part of in
jured persons, but the suit was not brought
until the law went into effect. The Supreme
Court held the law constitutional and said
it applies to suits begun after its passage,
but relating TO injuries occurring prior
thereto.
The Appellate Court upheld the Circuit
Court of Huntington county in its judg-
ment that Albert G.. Johnson was in con-
tempt because he had failed 10 pay his di-
vorced wife money to support their child,

marital troubles and the resulting divorce
had forced him from the ministry into the
profession of law in which he could not
make sufficient money to pay the allowance
given his wife.

Another speed War Between Chicago
and Omaha ProbabIe-The Car
Shortage Becoming General.

Warren j. Lynch. passenger traffic man.
ager of the Big Four lines. was in the city
yesterday. He expressed the opinion that
passenger business the remainder OF the
fall and through the winter would be very
satisfactory, and he stated that the general
passenger agents who attended the conven-
ton at Asheville week before last almost
without exception took a cheerful view or
the outlook. The Big Four, Mr.. Lynch
said, last year did a phenomenal passenger
business and this year in every month has
eXcelled in passenger earnings any months
Of the preceding year, and he looks for a
good business next year. basing this predic-
ton on the prosperous condition of the
country. Each year so much is done in ar
ranging trains to make good time and In
furnishing fine passenger equipment that
riding over the country at fifty TO sixty
miles an hour Is appreciated. He said the
trolley lines are cutting into the short
travel some. but business has been so good
for two years past that II was not notice
able in the way of decreased earnings.

The Scarcity of Cars.

The car shortage is becoming the prin-
cipal topic of discussion in all parts of the
country. The Eastern roads have never be-
fore been so greatly embarrassed for lack
Of freight cars as now. Large consign-
ments of west-bound merchandise are
pressing for cars, and there never was a
time when the Western railroads were
more troubled in this direction. Indianap-
oils lines are beginning to feel il quite
seriously, but until within ten days past
they were able to keep up the orders for
cars so closely that shippers made but lit
tie complaint. y PennSylvania official says
that the car famine and present conges-
ton of traffic constitute the most important
problems that the company has been called
upon to solve. In the Pittsburg district
they are unable to furnish more than Go
per cent. of the freight cars needed TO for
ward the freight awaiting shipment. The
United States Steel Corporation has an i'm
mense amount of finished product awaiting
transportation, and there never was a time
when Western railroads were so insistent
in their demands for immediate delivery of
steel rails. All the Eastern railroads are
sending out imperative orders for the re-
turn of freight cars sent to Western points,
and coupled with this is the heretofore
Spoken of shortage in power TO handle the
business so promptly that there will be no
congestion.

PERSONAL INJURY CASES
AN OPINION THAT RAILROAD At
TORNEYS DESIRE TO SUPPRESS.
Alleged Scheme to Keep Ii from Be-
coming "a Part of Supreme Court
Record-Other Cases.

An innocent-appearing document filed in
the personal injury suit of Charles F. Flut-
ter against the New York. Chicago & st.
Louis Railroad Company in the Supreme
Court yesterday afternoon is expected TO
create considerable stir when it comes I'm
der the eyes of the judges of the court.
The document on its face is a simple agree
ment between Vesey & Heaton, attorneys
for Flutter, and Olds & Dougham. repre-
senting the Nickel-plate road. reciting that
a settlement has been effected by the road
with Flutter and asking the Supreme Court
to grant the roads petition for a rehearing
of the case. adding that as soon as this is
done the appeal will be dismissed.
Before the case was compromised the
railroad company had filed a petition for
a rehearing of the Supreme Courts deci-
sion reversing the judgment of the lower
court against Flutter. The opinion con-
tains several declarations on the subject
of the law in personal injury cases that the
railroad lawyers preferred to keep out of
the printed reports of the Supreme Court,
If possible. They therefore hit upon the
plan of inducing Flutter's attorneys to
join them in a request TO the higher court
TO grant the railroad company's petition
for a rehearing. which. if done, would, of
course. withdraw from the records the
original opinion in the case.
Flutter was injured Nov. 2S. 1897. while
running through the company's yards at
New Haven. Ind. alongside Of a locomo-
tive. by tripping over some wires that con-
nected with a s~emaphore which was a
part of the company's block signal system.
The railroad company showed in the trial
of the case that Flutter had worked for
other roads that used the block system and
was therefore familiar with its details, and
it showed further that the companys rules
required employees to make themselves
familiar with places in which they were ex-
pected to work. The wires used by the
Nickel-plate in its block system differed
from those of other similar systems in not
being boxed. The attorneys for the road
filed in the court below a large number of
interrogatories for the jury TO answer, and
upon these answers the trial court held
that the general verdict for Flutter could
not stand. This decision was reversed by
the Supreme Court in a vigorous opinion,
which the railroad attorneys disliked to see
printed. inasmuch as il would be used
against them in future damage suits of a
character similar to the Flutter case.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION LAW.
1t Is Upheld by the Supreme Court
other Decisions.

Zone of the most important natural
duties of the parent is his obligation to
educate his child, and this duty he owes
not to the child only, but TO the common
wealth. declared Judge Bowling, of the
Indiana Supreme Court yesterday in an
opinion affirming the cOnstitutionality of
the compulsory education law. The opin-
ion was rendered i'm the case Of Sheridan
Bailey. of Jay county. against whom an
affidavit charging unlawful failure 10 send
his little girl to school was quashed by the
lower court. The appeal attacked the con-
s~titutionality of the compulsory education
law of 1901 on the ground that its title is de-
fective. The title reads AN act TO amend
an act concerning the educatlon OF emil
dren, and the quoted words. emitting the
first three, constitute the title of the
amended act which was passed in 1889.
Judge Bowling held that this title Sufi-
GENTLY Indicated some particular branch of
legislation as a head under which the par
ticular provisions of the act might reason
ably be looked for. Speaking further of the
duty OF parents TO educate their children
Judge Bowling declared that il is a civil
obligation TO perform which they may be
compelled or coerced by law. As a reason
for such legislation the opinion says:
ITO carry out the enlightened and COM
~prehenSiVe system of education enJoined
by the Constitution of this State a vast
fund, dedicated exclusively TO this pur-
pose, has been set apart. Revenues To the
amount of more than s.. 0OO.O 600 annually
are distributed among the school cor
poratiOns of the State. No parent can be
said to have the rights TO deprive his child
of the advantages SO provided. and 10
defeat the purpose of such munifcent APP
preparations
John Aldridge's judgment for 500 recov-
cred against the p. g. G. < ST. Louis Rail-
way Company was reversed by the Appel

The higher court held that where a passen-
ger deliberately walked into a place he
