Expensive Transports ton,

1t has been a process longer than
many roads to teach the farmer that
1t costs him more to carry his pro-
duce to the nearest railway station
than to send it to the distant market
From farm to point of shipment is
the most expensive part of transport
tation. But this lesson has been quite
thoroughly disseminated, especially in
the States east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio. It has been fol.
lowed by more detailed instruction as
to materials, grades and draining in
road-construction, and the marked
economy to be effected by the use of
wide tires.
The old national highway, whose
construction first raised the question
of the relation of the federal govern
ment to interstate communication, is
an enduring example of what national
assistance can accomplish. But the
general policy has been adopted of
leaving bodybuilding to local needs
and energy.

Mistake About Pensions.

Washington, Aug. 12-The commits
siofier of pensions to-day gave out the
statement that an erroneous impress
sion seems to exist among many ex-
Confederate soldiers regarding the in
depreciation TO he put upon the recent
act of Congress relieving Union SOL
diers of disabilities for having pre-
viously served In the Confederate
army.
The idea seems to prevail that under
this act the government IL authorized
to pension ex-Confederate soldiers. and
the result Is that the pension office IL
being deluged with applications from
the former wearers Of the gray.
The commissioner explained that the
law In question does not contemplate
the pensIOniDg Of ex-Confederate SOL
diers, but that 1t was designed solely
to remove the disability which 80 long
existed In the case Of men who were
Impressed into the Confederate service

DRAINAGE CANAL POWER
Court Decides That Private Company
Cannot Have 1t as the Matter Is Now
Presented.

Joliet, Ills, Nov. S.-Judge Hilscher,
of the VIII county circuit court, yes
terday dismissed the petition filed by
the Gaylord syndicate to condemn
property of the Chicago sanitary dis
trict for grist mills and navigation
purposes. The court did not go into
Il discussion of the many questions
raised, because it would be necessary
for the supreme court to rule on the
issues involved before any further
steps We're taken.
The court said: IF the purpose is
in fact for private use, though under
cover of pretense for public use, then
it is the duty of the court to deny the
exercise of tie right of eminent do
main. After careful study of the
petition and the evidence, and the au-
and the sanitary district act, and the
known industrial conditionS-of which
it is the duty of the court to take no
tice-I am led to the unavoidable con-
clusiOn that the purpose for which con-
demnatiOn is sought in this case is not
to acquire private property for the
purpose, but to acquire public proper
ty for private use"
The Gaylord people were granted an
appeal to the supreme court and they
expect the case to be considered at the
December term.

NEWSPAPER LOTTERIES LEGAL
So, Apparently, Holds the Judge of the
Superior Court at Cincinnati in
n Guessing Case.

Cincinnati, Nov. SIN the newSpa-
per guessing contests the superior
court yesterday handed down de-
cision dismissing the decision of Sam
uel Stevens. praying for Il receiver.
The court holds that such contests are
not within the condemnation of the
statutes of Ohio against lotteries,
gambling. wagering or betting. No
opinion is expressed OH the common
law relating to the matter. The court
holds in regard to the money paid in
that if the contract We're illegal any
one who seeks to rescind it after cleo
tiOn comes too late to be heard, for
the reason that the contract has been
executed wholly or in part.
Further. the court holds that such a
bill as the one passed on cannot be
filed in equity on behalf of others who
are not dissatisfied. y court of equity,
also, will not assume jurisdiction
where there is an adequate remedy at
law. The superior court has no juris-
diction in an action at law to recover
30 cents. The attorney for the plaintiff
reserved exceptions and stated that he
would decide soon whether he would
take the case higher.

the person VINO pawned the watch
but it was not Mason.
In probing the case at Waverly the
state police have found evidence that
Mason had made at least two attempts
to have women meet him at night at
"The Oaks a section of the Metro
politan park reservation. not far from
the Mclean insane asylum, where Ma
son was patient, and or the grounds
of which Miss Morton was killed.
Another trouble with Nemser is that
he told the police positively yesterday
that the man who pawned the McPhee
watch was Il white man. and later
admitted that he might have been Il
colored man: in fact. he rather thought
he was. y similar change of opinion
was noted in connection with the man
whom Nemser has asserted tried to
pawn the Morton watch on Saturday
night. At first the pawn broker was
very positive that it was Il negro. Then
he said he WAS of light complexion and
might have been mulatto. Later he
admitted that he might have been a
Spaniard or an Italian. The McPheH
watch was rhe property of one OF the
victims-of whom there were three
of the .slugger,'' murdered before Miss
Morton.
