This is what the Wilkes Barre Rec
ord had to say yesterday Of the ad-
dress Of ex-Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith, delivered at the big
Pennypacker meeting in that city, Sat-
urday night:
All of the addresses were of high
standard. but the speech of the evening
was delivered by ex-Postmaster General
Smith. 1t was the most brilliant cam.
paign oration that has been delivered in
this city in years and It made an impress
sion that will be of material benefit to
the Republican candidates in this cam
paign In eloquence. purity of diction and
forcefu English II was a masterpiece. He
held his audience spellbound during its
deliverance. and though he spoke for
more than an hour the audience regretted
10 see him conclude. His peroration on
the flag was a magnificent climax to q
great speech, its sublmity Of thought and
patriotism moving the vast multitude to
applause that continued for several min
utes after lie had taken his seat.
Mr.. Smith will be one of the two
speakers at next Friday nights Re-
publican rally in the Lyceum. The
other will be Hon. Stuart McKibbon,
the eloquent Illinois congressman. Mr..
McKibbon's services were in demand
by all the Republican committees, both
national and state. The congressional
committee finally secured him for six
speeches, the most he could possibly
spare time for. In getting one of these
six speeches allotted to Scranton. the
local committee accomplished one of
the most gratifying things 1t has
achieved in this regard. Those who
will be fortunate enough to get into the
Lyceum Friday night will hear two
mastery political addresses. Charles
Emory Smith and Stuart McISibbon at
the one meeting is assurance of a rare
treat.
Tomorrow nights Republican mass
meeting in st. David's hall. West
Scranton, will be addressed by three of
the best speakers the county committee
has been able to secure. Congressman
Vreeland, Congressman Sherman and
Major Mcdowell need no Introduction
to any one who keeps in touch with
national affairs. An interesting and
profitable evening can be assured all
who hear them.
At the borough building in Throop,
Thursday night, there will be Repub-
lican mass meeting which will be ad-

CITY SOLICITORS OPINION.
Taxes on Real Estate Cannot Be
Exonerated by Councils,

City Solicitor Watson has prepared
an opinion for Il select council commit
tee. in which he declares that the city
councils have no legal right to eXoner-
ate taxes on real estate. This opinion
was requested because of a resolution
which was introduced in select council
at the last meeting, providing for such
an exoneratlon, The resolution was de-
clared out of order by Chairman oil
yer, and motion to request an opin-
ion was then passed.
The act on which the city solicitor
bases his opinion is am old third-class
city act, which he believes to be still In
force.

P1NnSrA EF CASE
Against the l.. Il &. X. X. Go
NOnsuited-OpiniOn Delivered
by Mr.. Justice Jones.

Dy Mr. justice Jones.
This was at action for $4,000
damages for the alleged kiln,
of plaintiffs husband, through
the negligence of defendant,
whilst the deceased was walkir 8
on certain trestle on defenC.
ants right Of way. On the clio q
of the plaintiffs evidence IL q
circuit court Judge TcwnsenC
on the motion of the defendau
ordered nonsuit. The plaintiff
appealed.
Mr.. Justice Jones: There was
no evidence whatever of any neg
ligence on the part of the defend
ant, except upon the theory that
there was some evidence that the
railroad trestle upon which the
fatal collision occurred was o
"traveled place" in the sense Of
the statute, and that the trestle
constituted part of the crossing.
To give right of action the
collision must be ON the crossing
where the railroad track crosses
the public wav.
The statute contemplates a di
rect crossing-not such as ls at
tempted to be set up in this case.
There was no evidence of any
way, which the public had &C
quired the right to use, leading
out, along and from the trestle,
seeks to constitute the trestle a
part of such way, and even if it
were admitted to be possible for
the public to acquire the legal
right to use the railroad trestle
already dedicated to other public
uses there was no evidence that
the collision occurred at a place
where the railroad and public
way crossed each other.
The evidence showed that on
each end Of the trestle there was
placed a board warning all per-
sons to keep off" and that such
notice had been there ever since
the lease Of the line to the Char.
lotte, Colum bia and Augusta
Railroad company, and before
the defendant company became
the owners.
1t was further shown that the
presiden Of the defendant com
pany refused to allow planks to
be placed 2long the trestle az a
walk way.

motive had left the track and the
horse had departed this life, although
not in a manner inglorious.
The east bound 500 train came roll
ing toward Kuhn at a good rate of
speed. Suddenly a 1,600-pound equine
appeared OF the ties ahead. There
was a mad race for a. short distance
and a jolting finish. The engine APP
peared to get the. worst of the jolt.
Tender and all, it went off the track
and was forced to await the assistance
of the wrecking crew the next day. The
old timers who were in the country
when the railroad first appeared, con
tend that this is the first horse in
those parts which has successfully bait
tiled with a locomotive. The COW coun-
try has a new claim to fame and the
old resident, with chin whiskers, gives
the train men the horse laugh while
they unload onions, strawberries and
immigrants at Kuhn.

HORSE WRECKS a TRAIN.

Minneapolis Journal: Out in west
ern North Dakota, in the COW country
through which the Bismarck branch
of the 500 road runs, the natives have
a nine days wonder in a dead horse,
and the train men cast superstitious
glances along the rails. One wreck
has been caused by a sturdy horse,
which ran well while it ran and the
superstition of the train men prompts
them to look for two more Of the same
kind.

where are raised the big cattle which
bring such profit and compliments to
South st. Paul. Since the Iowans be-
gan to invade LITTLE Russia" as 1t
has been called, Kuhn and the sur
rounding country have been producing
just as sturdy horses as cattle. The
vigor of these big beasts is the boast
of the ranchers in that part OF the
country. The strength of one Of these
horses was put to a severe test one
day last week, and at the finish 4 loco

TO A II BILLS.

Fargo Forum: Up at Tower City
appendicitis cases are discovered with
rare frequency and few days pass that
some patient is not hustled off to Far
go for treatment in the hospital. A
novel club has now been formed at
that place by which the unfortunates
are to be taken to Fargo and receive
their treatment for almost nothing.
The club is expected to have a mem
bership of 80. To START with each
member is assessed n dollar, which
is deposited in the Tower City bank,
making an available fund for the first
member of the club who is attacked
with the disease. The $50 will pay
all the expenses of the illness and an
assessment of one dollar per member
is levied as soon as the fund is drawn
upon In this manner the illness does
not fall so heavily on those affected
and the assessments are not of a size
to worry the members of the club.

A LIVELY HORSE MARKET.

H. B. Wood, of Jamestown, attended
the four days sale of over 5000 head
of range horses by the Clark Ranch
company. ait Miles City. Mont. last
week. He says the sale was largely
attended by buyers from all over the
country, many eastern men being pres
ent and investing heavily in horses.
One man bought, at private sale. 1,4zOO
head and smaller lots were sold for
points in Indiana, Illinois and other
states.
The policy of the Montana breeders
in improving the grade of their horses
has resulted in a fine lot of horses be-.
ing ready for market and bringing
good prices. A few years ago the
horsemen of Montana were generally
in bad shape financially, but are now
well fixed. The improved horse and
the better price has made the change.
One breeder paid 1900 for a single
high grade stallion, and B. P. Pope,
who owns a ranch near Medina, bought
a large bunch of mares with young
colts, which he shipped to South Da-
kota. He claims that next year the
colts will bring, as yearlings, $40 each.
One large buyer paid 5000 for a pair
of unbroken geldings.
The new horse now being raised by
the Montana breeders is easy to break
when once familiar with the new con-
ditions. All the horse men expect to
see the higher prices not only continue
but advance next year considerably
over this. The Boer war not only
brought a lot of money to the stock
men Of the northwest, but d~emonstrat-
ed that horses are comparatively
scarce all over the world, and that this
part of the United States is in posi-
ton to supply better horses for the
money than any other part Of the
country. It is said that a horse can
be raised to 5 years of age in Montana
for $50, that sum paying all expenses.

GOPHERS KILLED.

Twenty-Five thousand gopher tails
representing the subtraction of that
many gophers from the ravaging
hcrdes which make trouble for North
Dakota farmers in dry seasons is the
new record to the credit of the indus
trial department of the 500 road.
There will be no shortage in the sup
ply Of gopher tails this fall when she
football rooter is ready to turn loose.
Several weeks ago the Soo's indus
trial department offered cash prizes to
boys in a number of small towns north
of Minot, N. D.. including Portal on
the boundary. Four prizes were offer
ed at each town. The boys did fast
work. The four towns have turned in
a few hundred less than $4,000 gopher
tails. Although this is regarded AN
exceptionally good record in gopher
hunting, the youngsters contend that
the wet weather really limited the OPP
portunity. as the young gopher crop
was partially drowned out by the
rains. It is believed that this big
gopher hunt has greatly decreased the
possibility of injury to farmers crops
in that section from this source.
Those who had charge of the prize
contests for the road in the various
towns will cure the tails and send
them to Minneapolis for use as badges
in the annual football Isl in the
fall. .
