H0BS0N'S LATEST.
WHILE sTRoLLING WITH MISS
STEVENSON RESTORES LOST
BIRD TO IT'S NEST.

Bloomington, Ill, July 24-All
Bloomington is talking about the latest
exploit Of Captain Richmond Pearson
Hobson, the nero Of the Merrimsc.
Due to the frequent visits Of the naval
officer to Bloomington as the guest Of
Adlai +. Stevenson, the gossips have
been limiting that the charming daugh-
ter OF MIR. Stevenson. Miss Letitis,
was the great attraction. Kumors Of
an engagement have.been rife for some
time.
An incident which occurred yester-
day added interest TO the numerous
calls at the Stevenson homestead.
Captain Hobson and Miss Stevenson
were strolling through the fashionable
residence district Of the city, when
they came across . party Of children
mourning the plight Of young robin
which had fallen from . nest In Q
maple tree. Captain Hobson sized mp
the situation Immediately and decided
that he would play the role Of rescuer.
He called for q small basket, and.
placing the the bird therein, swung
the basket over his arm and then
clambered mp the tree with the ease
and dexterity Of the veteran sailor.
Then the walk was resumed. Despite
the efforts of the officer to repress the
incident it soon became public gossip
and interest in the visits Of Captain
Hobson has increased. Rumors Of an
understanding between the officer and
Miss Stevenson are denied by the par.
ents of the young woman, but the Cos
sips are predicting wedding by fall.
Within six months II is said that
Captain Hobson has paid fully a
dozen visits to Bloomington and
the pumber Of calls, and in some
instances, the length Of the visits,
lend strength to the belief that the
engagement Of the couple will be
announced soon.

STEALING BY SUBSTITUTION.

STEALING BY SUBSTITUTION.
Under the above heading the New
York Journal of the issue of the 18th
inst, calls attention to a cartoon it
has in the issue of the same date under
the caption Substitution, or
Whats the Difference.
The cartoon shows two pictures,
one q thief on the streets stealing
money from a woman's pocket and the
other a druggist substituting another
article for one called for by custom
err. Under the first picture is the foot
note "This man, on the public street,
steals money from a woman's pocket"
and under the other picture, This
man, in the drug store, substituting an
inferior article for that demanded, and
falsely calling the article substituted
Just as good. steals the woman

ASK FOR 100000 DAMAGES


Brook port, then Brooklyn. II was
operated by his heirs until 1899, when
Captain James Owen became sole
owner.
The petition of Captain James Owen
now sole owner of the franchise, ends
by claiming that by infringement on
the above exclusive franchise, and the
continual operation of the company's
transfer boat, he is continuously and
repeatedly suffering loss and damage
and to prevent n multiplicity Of action
for this damage, he asks the court to
enjoin the railroad company from
longer operating its transfer boat, to
grant temporary injunction, and to
make this injunction permanent upon
final hearing of the case. The court
will doubtless act on the temporar y
injunction matter late this afternoon
or tomorrow morning.
The transfer boat, IL Is UNDERSTOOD,
operates under q government license
as a ferryboat. The Messrs. Owen.
through their attorneys, have been
preparing for this big suit for quite
awhile. and have made trips TO both
Frankfort, KY. and Springfield. ILL.,.
to secure copies of records. etc. The
suits are unique, and the outcome will
be watched with more than ordinary
interest. The Illinois Central will
naturally make hard fight, for it has
great deal at stake, not only in
money. but in the matter Of operating
its transfer boat between Psducah and
Brookport 1t is supposed IL will base
its defense on its government grant to
operate ferryboat.

II appears that the gentle art Of as
sassination is not confined to the Re-
publicans in the distant counties Of
Kentucky. The Hsrgis and Cockrell
feud has broken out again, and they
are all Democrats. A few days ago the
marshal at jackson. Ky, was shot
from the court house, and died . short
time afterwards. II is said that the
only reason this man Was brutally
murdered in cold blood was in order
to get him out Of the way So his
brother, Tom Cockrell, in Jail for kill

him get justice when the Democratic
judge, Allie W. Young, appointed by
Beckham TO hold . special term Of
the Breathitt circuit court August
18th, and a cousin of the Hargis
faction, tries Tom Cockrell for the
murder. The latter is said to be left
by the death Of his brother without
any one to assist him, being entirely
at the mercies of his enemies, who are
IN control of the political machinery
of the county, and will have one of
their number try him for his life.

A member Of the street committee,
when asked why the brick street con-
tractor had not been forced to repair
the sidewalks where the concrete
sections have broken and risen several
inches, said that the matter had been
referred to the city attorney, VINO
would take steps to force the con-
tractor to comply with his contract.
That street and those sidewalks were
paid for by the people, some by the
public and some by the individual
property owners. The contractors got
all that was coming to them, and gave
the people bum job for their money.
Now, instead of complying with
the contract and repairing the side
walks where they have become pub
lie nuisances, and daily . menace to
the safety of the people, the conono

ing paid by the people, fairness and q
compliance with contracts, especially
those contracts with the people them

In an editorial Of the same date the
Journal says:
1.-THE cartoon ON this page seeks to
impress upon Your mind the dishonesty
of the man-drug store owner or other
merchant-who practices substitution.
This practice is growing among o
numerous, although not reputable,
class Of merchants.
The process of substitution is a
swindling process pure and simple,
and every purchaser should remember
that fact.
Tine merchant who palms off infer
Tor goods, calling them lust ss
good" is guilty Of double dishonesty.
In the first place, he swindles the
manufacturer whose energy helps
build up the retailers business.
In the second place-and this is the
more serious offense-tne man who
substitutes swindles the public, and
often swindles dangerously.
Recently one of the biggest drug
houses in America was detected in
mean substitution. A doctors pre-
scription had called for q certain ex-
pensive drug. The merchant-with-
out even getting the purchasers con-
sent-substituted an inferior, cheaper
drug in place Of that called for. The
doctor declared that this small piece
of dishonesty might have resulted fat
ally under certain conditions. We do
not publish here the name Of the gull
ty man, although it has been publish
ed in various trade journals. We do
not desire to select any one man as q
victim where so many are guilty.
1T is the duty of the public to pro-
tect itself against this form Of swindl-
ing.
"You should bear in mind two facts
in regard to the substitutor.
First, he considers you more or
less of a fool-otherwise he would
not tell you that you don't know what
you want.
Second, he means to make little
more money out of you by imposing
on your credulisy.
"When you find druggist or other
man engaged In substitution you may
be sure that he is man not very par
ticular IS to his ways of getting mon
ey. And you may be sure that You
will be dealt with more honestly else
where.
IF the public will consider and talk
over these facts earnestly, titntion
will soon cease to be profitable, and
therefore it will cease to exist"
