A Song Of New Years Vows.

A Song Of New Years Vows.
Make your New Years resolutions.
Any little contributions
To the sum of human-virtue
Will please others and won't hurt you.
Start the new year as you ought to;
Don't say, "These will come to naught
too.''
With your spiritual additions
Make your New Years resolutions.
Swear off drinking, swearing, smoking:
Never heed the threadbare joking
Now's the time, If you're intending,
AS you should, to be amending.
Shake off habits CALLING fetter
And resolve you will do better.
You won't find the executions
Easy-but make resolutions.
Make your New Years resolutions.
Things that wreck your constitutions
And create your ills internal
Leave alone. Yes, keep Journal.
II you like and still endeavor
From all habits bad to sever,
Virtues bounds, do not o'erleap 'em;
Make your New Years vows-and keer

This is not a gentle word--but
when you think how liable you are
not to purchase the only remedy
universally known and a remedy
that has had the largest sale of
any medicine in the world since
1868 for the cure and treatment Of
Consumption and Throat and Lung
troubles without losing it's great
popularity all these years, yon
will be thankful we called your
attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are 90 many Ordin-
airy cough remedies made by drug

and good for light colds perhaps,
but for severe coughs, bronchitis,

is nothing like German Syrup.

QUEER KIND OF JUSTICE.
Judge Refused to Go Back on His
Promise to Plain tiff.

Railroad attorneys frequently witness
some rather funny occurrences A
prominent attorney for the Southern
Pacific gives the following interesting
recital to the Houston Post of facts
surrounding recent court proceeding
in which the Southern Pacific COM
pany was the defendant:
"A number of small cases were filed
in a justice court in one of the western
counties of Texas. growing out of kill
ing of stock by the railroad. Our de-
Tense was that the stock was running
at large in violation of law and the
owner was not in position to recover
Under decisions of the state the defense
was absolutely good
1T developed on the trial that the
justice of the peace had gone to all of
the witnesses but one and solicited them
to institute the suits in his court. as
surfing them that they could recover.
He was Convinced on the trial that
plaintiffs were not entitled to recover
and gave judgment in favor of the
railroad company against one plaintiff
to whom he had not committed himself,
but as to all of the other plaintiffs he
rendered judgment in their favor
against the railroad company, holding
in effect that as he had already ex-
pressed his opinion on the law to them
and had assured them that he would
render judgment in their favor, he was
estopped to change this opinion so far
as their cases were concerned. In all
of the cases in which he rendered judg-
ment for plaintiff. he had the judgments
written up and in his pocket before the
cases were tried. This was done in or

INCREASE IS ADvIsABLE.
Attitude of Freight Traffic Manager
W. 3. BiddIe on Rates.

Kansas City, Sept. est is under
stood that railroad managers propose to
advance freight rates on account of the
increased wages for all classes OF labor
and in the price of all materials used by
railroads. The proposed increase is to
become effective January 1.
w. B. Biddle. freight traffic manager
of the Atchison. Topeka G Santa Fe
railroad. was at the union depot last
night
There has been no general advance
of freight rates for years." said MI.
Biddle. '-and I do not look for any ad-
vance over the existing tariffs There
have been from time to time readJust-
ments of rates. but as l said before
there has been no general advance. 50
far as l know there is no movement III
that direction by the western roads. /
do not know what is going on in the
Central Traffic association. There has
been some discussion concerning a re-
staple groceries. We attempted to elimi-
nate the commodity rate on this class
of shipments some time ago, but aban-
doned the idea"
1t is said that the contemplated in
crease ranges from one-half cent to IA
cents a hundred pounds. Another at
tempt, it is said. will be made to abol-
ish the commodity rate on staple gro
ceries. The proposed advance in live
stock, it is said is from one and one
half to four cents a hundred pounds.
'.As far as the advisability of increas-
ing rates is concerned" continued MI.
Biddle. I'VE would be entirely justified
There is no doubt that we ought to adj
vance rates to meet the increased cost
of labor and the advanced price of the
materials all railroads have to use.''
A schedule of increased rates, it is
said will become effective October l.
There is a movement on foot on the
part of local interests to resist the ad-
