RAILWAY CONTRACTS.
Peculiar and Important Question as
to Whether Companies Have a
Right to Akrogate Them.
Especial corr spondence.)

\@f'SSASta
A very peculiar and important ques-
ton has arisen at Fort Dodge with
respect to the rights of railroad COM
panies to abrogate the terms of-their
contracts with cities. The Mason City
& Fort Dodge railroad, having been
bought by the Chicago & Great West
ern railroad, it has been planned to
move the shops from Fort Dodge to
another point. When the Mason City
& Fort Dodge road entered Fort Dodge
contract was made providing for con-
cessions to the railway company by
the city, and in the contract the road
bound itself never to remove it's shops
from the town; having sought to do
so now the road has been enjoined tenn
porarily until the validity of its con-
tract can be determined by the courts.
In Texas case which was decided by
the federal courts that railroad was
an agent of the public service, and the
public service must govern the loca-
ton of its operating departments,
rather than its contracts with private
individuals or communities. 1t is sup
posed that the Fort Dodge case will
be fought out on this line, the road at
tempting to prove that it is necessary
for its best management to move its
shops and, therefore, the public serv-
ice would require the movement of the
shops. The Texas case referred to,
however, declared that the privilege
of moving the shops to conserve the
interests of the public would not OPP
crate to prevent suits by individuals
for damages for such removal.

KILLED WITH AN AK.
Ieur ut Newton Points to His
Wife as the Criminal

A sensation has developed in the in
vestlgatlon Of the Lavelleur murder
case at Newton, Jasper county The
soroner's Jury has returned verdict
to the effect nat Lavelleur came to his
death by foul means at the hands of
persons unknown. One of the jurors
refused to sign the verdict and the
other two did so reluctantly. They
wished to sign verdict stating their
belief that the old man came to his
death at the hands of his wife Their
belief was based on the testimony of
Mrs. Susan Langreen, who said
L was visiting at the Lavelleur home on
the day of the tragedy. Mrs. Laveleur had
quarreled with her husband on the day of
the murder just before dinner; the husband
had objected to the calls upon Mrs. La
Velleur OF painter named Benjamin; the
quarrel continued at the dinner table and
Lavelleur had left the house after dinner
to work in the garden and his wife followed
him out. Shortly after | saw the barn on
fire, and standing in the doorway of the
house saw Mrs. Lavel!eur strik her hus-
band with an AK. driving it twice into the
skull. After Mrs. Lavelleur struck her
husband she poured coal oil over the body
and left it to burn.
Lavelleur, an old Frenchman, was
found burned to mass of charred
flesh and bones in the ruins of a small
barn. Upon investigation it was dis
covered that his skull had been crushed
and there were evidences he had been
murdered and that coal oil had been
poured over the clothes to aid in con-
Stunning the body. his legs and arms
had been burned off. Mrs. Levelleur
has been arrested

Besie,'s waukegan Brewing Com pan

Besley's Waukegan Brcwinw Com pany.
1t Is with pleasure that We call the
attention Of the trade. and private fam.
lies, to the fact that owing to the in.
creasing demand for bottled ale and
porter of undoubted purity and Of the
finest quality, we are now bOttling the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use Of adulterants and
substitutes for malt and hops in the
manufacture Of malt liquors has re-
suited In an inquiry for an article Of
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything Of harmful or deleteri-
GUS nature, and ut price that would
commend Its use to all. The failure
hitherto to obtain such an article has
led consumers to purchase imported
goods at a high price.
Therefore We are prepared to place
on the market bottled ale and porter
unexcelled In quality, equal In every
respect to the imported, ut much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the best
hops In the market, no substitutes
whatever being used, and, being bottled
by ourselves at Waukegan, enables us
to offer to our customers an absolute
guaranty Of their purity and quality.
Families can obtain these goods OF
all the leading fancy grocers, the prin-
cipal hotels, restaurants and druggists.

Eldridge Finklc. 10 years old, and his
sister. 10, have saved a train on the
Poughkeepsie and Eastern Railroad from
being wrecked by tagging the locomotive
just In time to prevent 1t from rolling up
on spreading rails, which would have
thrown the engine and six cars--four
freight, one mail and one coach down
a steep cmbankment. The children were
gathering raspberrics near Boston Cor.
ners. Duchess County. New York, and
the boy noticed that the rails were
spread. The girl wore a red frock, and,
as the children knew that the train was
almost due they had hurried consulta-
ton on the track. With the red dress in
his hand the lad started up the track to
meet the train. He had not gone 300
feet when 1t came along. 1t was a part
Of the road where fastest time IL made
and the train was running at about thir.
ty-five miles an hour. The frantic wav-
Ing Of the rcd frock by the boy was
enough to warn the engineer. AMI he
brought his train t0 Il standstill within
few feet of the dangerous trap.
