ROAST FOR LENTz.
He and Tompkins Called Down
For Actions in Contested
Election Case.

Washington, April 1.-THE report
in the contested election case of John
J. Lentz against Representative Tomp-
kins. of the Columbus, o., district.
has been filed. 1t is out of the ordinary
for the emphasis of the language en-
ployed. The report is unanimous, both
Democrats and Republicans joining in
1t. 1t says that many Of the charges
of fraud by Mr.. Lentz were abandoned
as they were evidently not intended
to have any bearing upon the contest,
but simply to place upon record slurs,
insinuations and charges against out
side persons"
Mr.. Tompkins reply, the report says,
also contained much that was unjust
ifiable, and then Mr.. Lentz rejoined in
still more abusive and scurrilous
manner. The committee says such pa
pers would be suppressed in court as
scandalous and impertinent, and it pro-
tests against making these contests
vehicles of abuse and villification."

Town Chased the Railroad.

You have heard of a railroads MAX
ing or killing a town, but did you ever
hear of a town chasing railroad? ?"
asked a man who had put in the best
years of his life booming places out
Vest, says the New York Sum-.
Some one had referred to a story
printed in the Sun of a Nebraska town,
Benton, on the Platte river, which had
been left high and dry by the Union
Pacific Railroad. The road had SHE'D
off with branch to an obscure spot,
unmapped, known as Darr ALI at
once Darr began to boom and Benton
to decay
The Bentonites put their furniture,
cattle, farm utensils, houses and barns
on fiat boats and floated down to the
territory of their successful rival and
rebuilt there. In less than a week
Benton disappeared from the map and
Darr rose up.
That was the fate of several towns
when railroads We're being built out
West said the retired boomer. 1.-THE
fate of Knob Noster was funny to me,
after had got out of it.
| For years and years before the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad was extended
across the state from st. Louis, Knob
Noster was a post village at which the
stage coaches used to stop for water
for their horses and grub for their pas
| sengers The civil engineers of the
Missouri Pacific finally struck the
county and ran the line about two
miles to the north of it.
| The old town got a hustle on itself
for the first time in it's existence, and
most of the old houses that were not
ready to tumble down were put on
wheels and moved ever to the new
site number of new houses were
put under construction.
u St about the time that the new
Knob Noster began to look like a town
Mr.. Goulo's engineers, or Mr.. Gould
himself, concluded to shift the pro-
jected line, and a cutoff was decided
upon, which left the new town out in
the grass and the hazel brush. A town
cite on the cutoff was laid out about
two miles still further to the north
The railroad was constructed and a
station erected.
The new town sulked for a while
but finally an old doctor moved over by
the station to act for the railroad
| company, and his patients had to &c
| over there to get his medicines. One by
one the houses, or most of them, were
moved over near the station and re-
built
After about a year the first new
town had changed it's spot and was
huddled about Mr. Gould's railroad
station, where it has remained ever
| since But for a good many years the
people of the last new site used to GO
down and inspect the track every day
because they believed for a long time
that Mr. Gould was liable to change
his mind and take up another site.
One old man who had refused to
move his house from the first new site
stood his ground until Jay Gould died
and then he moved, but they used to
say that he rebuilt his house on
wheels"
