CITY DINENGs COMPARED
 WITH COUNTRY DINNERS
lancaster. (Ky.) Record.

Lancaster, (Ky.) Record
 The city papers take up much space telling of the swell dininEs given by the rich people. and we rural jays at first thought believe we have hard row to hoe. and there's little In the world for us. But let's see. The city paper says The table was beautifully decorated. The center-piece was large silver mounted mirror. On this was a silver tree, the branches of which were laden with Amer lean Beauty roses. Many silver cande- labra held white tapers. Miniature ships nlled with candIed fruits were used as souvenirs. The ices were imbedded in red tulips. etq. etc. Well. this must have been swell. but let's look on our side. When you are asked to "come to din- ner' out here in the brush, the table will be decorated" with a plain spread, as white as snow On one side will be large plain dish filled with Irish potatoes. Alongside of this you'll find a dish of country bacon, then heaped plate of hoe cakes. On another side will be a heaping dish of fried chicken. country sausage, spare ribs. a plate of as fine biscuits as one ever tasted. You will be handed quart cup of black, strong cof- Tee with pure cream. and then members or the family begin to reach over your shoulder and pile your plate full of these thoroughly cooked, perfectIy-seasoned suostantials, and you sit there and eat with all the enjoyment to be found this side of ktngdom-come. You are not wor- ried as to the knife. fork or spoon to use on each dish. but simply dive in with the two steel tools at your plate Now. which Is the most enjoyable? Who is the happiest. the red tulip eaters or the corn bread and sausage people? We Reubs may not know how to eat the fancy frill- fralls, but we do know what is good to eat what will stick to our ribs. and we wouldn't change places with any city dys- peptic with his pink ice cream and other death-dealing foolishnsss.

BARTLEY OUT OF PRISON
EX-sTATE TREASURER OF NEBaAS-
KA PARDONED BY THE GOVERNOR.
Was Sentenced Five Years Ago to
Twenty Years imprisonment for
EmbezzIing S201 600.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Dec. Ex-Governor Saw
age tonight granted an unconditional par
don to Joseph S Bartley, former state
treasurer who five years ago was SEN
fenced to twenty years in the penitentiary
on conviction of having embezzled *2el. .0o
of state funds The pardon went into effect
from the moment it was delivered to Mrs.
BARLEY by the Governors private secre-
tary. 1t was presented to Warden Davis
at the penitentiary half an hour later, and
at 9 o'clock, with his family and lawyer.
Bartley was brought in carriage to his
home in this city. To newspaper men he
said he had no other immediate plans than
to spend the first day of the new year with
his family. He would not admit that he
had had any intimation the pardon was
Forthcoming. He said his joy over his lib
erty was so complete that he had no desire
or time to recount the past or discuss the
future.
Governor Savage makes an extended ex-
planatiOn of his reasons for granting the
pardon. Primarily. he says, he is led TO be-
lieve the ends of justice have been met in
the punishment already inflicted He thinks
the enormity of the crime was not such as
to merit the sentence imposed. Further. he
finds extenuat1ng circumstances. Mr.. Bart
time when the whole country under
going financial depression. Owing to de-
preciating values many Nebraska banks
were the verge of collapse, and it was
with the best intentions and TO tide them
over the Governor urges, that Mr.. BARLEY
advanced them state money. Much Of this
had been lost, and for it BARLEY stood re-
sponsible, though he did not profit thereby.
The Governor finally gives the names of
several hundred of the most prominent men
in the State applying for the pardon. Four
thousand others, he says, have made the
same request. The Governor also refers to
the parole granted BARLEY last July, which
he justifies. 1t was given, he says, because
it was reported that by so doing ii was pos
sible for the paroled prisoner to make col
lections of money which would be restored
to the State. The action of the Republican
state convention, demanding his return to
prison, while he regards it unwiSe, seemed
to him mandatory and he Cancelled the pa
role Further study of the case, the Gov
ernor says, leads him to believe that the
ends of justice are fully met by an uncOn-
ditional pardon.
BARLEY has been in the state prison four
years and six months, in addition to a year
in the Douglas county jail. while his appeal
to the Supreme Court was pending. His
entire shortage is alleged TO have been $3.50
OO0 but he was convicted on the single
count of embezzling $201 900.

Judge EIIiOtt's Temporary Injunction
Dissolved by United States Circuit
Judge LOchren.
HILLS ATTORNEYS PLEASED
THEY SAY THE LEGALITY OF THE
MERGER HAS BEEN SETTLED.
Plan of Action Agreed on by Gov
ernOr Van SAINT and Other Execu-
tives at Their Conference.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec 31-Judge
William Lochren, of the United States Cir
cult Court, to-day dissolved the temporary
injunction issued in the case of Peter Pow
er against the Northern Pacific Railway
Company by Judge Elliott, of the District
Court of Hennepin county, on Monday.
The injunction which was dissolved by
the order of Judge Lochren restrained the
Northern Pacific from issuing any evil
dences of Indebtedness to retire the pre-
ferred stock of the company or to retire
the preferred stock in any other manner
than by the use of the surplus net earn
ings of the road. 1t also restrained the
Northern Pacific and its officers from enter
ing into any agreement or doing any act by
which the road would be consolidated or
merged through the medium of the North
ern Securities Company with the Great
Northern or the Burlington or either of
them.
After the decision was made orally by
Judge Lochren at the close of a days argu-
ment by the attorneys for both sides an
effort was made by the plaintiffs attor-
neys to have the court fix the amount of
bond which would be required in order to
appeal from the decision and to stay
further proceedings in the lower court
pending the appeal. Judge Lochren refused
to allow the supersedeas bond in any
amount TO be given.
Judge w. A. Lancaster, representing Mr..
Power, the plaintiff, asked the court:
Does your Honor mean to say that the
damage which would result to the North
ern Pacific Railway Company if an appeal
from your order dissolving the temporary
injunction were taken and a supersedeas
bond staying proceedings were filed would
be so great that a bond could not be given
large enough to reimburse the defendant %
LAS the question of granting a super
sedeas," the judge replied. lis discretionary
with the court l decline to permit the stay
ing of the proceedings or the force of the
order by a supersedeas bond on appeal.
ACTED WITHIN AUTHORITY.
Judge Lochren held that the Northern
Pacific was acting within the authority of
it's charter of the contract entered into
between il and its stockholders as incorpor-
ated in the certificates of preferred stock

WASHINGTON, Dec 31.-The attacks on
Third Assistant Postmaster General E. c..
Madden are involving James n. Tyner. of
Indiana, the attorney for the Postoffice De-
partment. When Mr.. Madden began insti-
tuting the reforms which are resulting in
barring postal matter of many advertising
publications from second-class privileges he
submitted the law points to Mr.. Tyner. Mr..
Typer ruled that whether a publication
belonged to the second or some other class
for mail purposes was a matter of fact and
not of law. He said the exhibits should
not be brought to him, but their classifi-
cation fixed under the rules and regula-
tions by the authorized officers of the de-
partment. The popular impression is that
Madden is making new rules. AS a mat
ter of fact, he is simply enforcing the old
regulations. Through years of carelessness
the abuses had grown tremendous The re-
lgious societies which are protesting on
account of the enforcement of the regula-
tions against prizes to obtain subscriptions
are now trying TO include Mr.. I'yner. They
see that it is impossible to get any re-
dress through Mr.. Madden, and are trying
to throw the dispute into the law division.

ton is a matter of fact and not of law

with Commissioner Yerkes because he made
