people of all classes in England ex-
press regarding the settlement of the
venezuelan affair, and the submission
OF the Alaskan boundary to arbitra-
ton is gratifying; so also is the
avowed acceptance OF the Monroe
doctrine, as expressed by the leaders
OF both parties, wonder if the pres
ent condition of the wheat market
had any influence in determining
conclusions? May be the man be-
hind the pillow is more potent than

The Union Pacific and Short Line
traffic managers should give corn
shipments very decided preference
over all other classes of freight, and
this in their own interest, if for no
worthier motive, bearing in mind
that the value of wool and stock

on getting this needed feed before
the stock at the earliest possible
moment, and to consider that the
present is somewhat of woodchuck

Young William Curry. Jr., who was
arraigned before Court yesterday for
refusing TO testify in a liquor case be-
fore the grand. jury, and committed To

brought before the Court this morning
and required to answer for his con

the young man:

grand jury yesterday, and you refused
To testify and answer the questions
put TO you. Are you ready now to
go before the grand jury and testify
to what you know? 2"
Yes sir, he replied in repentant
manner.
why did you refuse to testify when
you were before the grand jury"
asked the Judge.
Il was mad and had been drinking, :"
he said
The Judge here gave the young man
a sound reprimand, and turned him
over to the Sheriff with instructions
TO take him before the grand jury, and
TO bring him back to Court as he was
still in custody. He was then taken
downstairs before the grand jury,
where he was very repentant and will
ing TO answer all the questions put
to him. He was then taken back to
the Court room and placed in the Gus

taken before Judge Revell, who admin
istered "A reprimand, after which he
was released from custody.
Last night young Curry was visited
at the Jail by his mother. He had not
come TO himself and used ugly laug-

deeply penitent and appeared to re-

bad associates and these, together
with hanging round the average coun-
