sues for Damage.

In the District Court at Ogden, Tues
day morning. Judge W. l.. Maginnia
and Charles Stout, as attorneys for Nels
s. Miller. filed suit against the South
ern Pacific Company to recover damages
in the SUN Of $3.50. The complaint
alleges that at Lovelock, Nevada, on
October %, 1903, the plaintiff made an
agreement with the company that he
was to load 1Sl head Of cattle upon the
company's train and they were to de-
liver the cattle in Ogden within thirty
two hours. 1t is further alleged that
on the evening Of the above mentioned
day, the plaintiff loaded hIe cattle upon
the train, but the company, it Is alleged,
failed to fulfill its part Of the contract
and cattle were Oh the train for eighty
hours. Tho laws OF Nevada will not
permit cattle or livestock to be upon
trains Ter more than twenty-four hours
and plaintiff had to feed his cattle twice
between Ogdeu and Lovelock, which
put him TO nm expense OF about 500. 1t
is further alleged hat the cars the cat
tie we're placed in were at the rear OF a
train Of about forty care, and the cattle
we're handled in such a violent man ner
that one wns killed, Of the value OF $50,
and others were damaged or injured in
the amount Of $1,000. Tho plaintiff prays
for judgment in the sum Of $3.50 and
costs OF suit.-Ogdeu Standard.

the power OF concentrated finance in

leading bankers 81 TIE country were
outs poken advocates OF free trade,
claiming that by the open door policy

tlons would be go enhanced that Amen.
ca would soon stand preeminent in the
world. To-day, almost without excep-
ton, these same men are either active
or passive supporters Of the Republican
policy Of Unfortunately high tariffs. The
reason Is not hard to see. Our present
system piles up an unwieldly surplus Of
money i'll the public treasury. That
surplus is deposited without interest in
favored banks; these banks having to
pay no interest, are yet able to charge
it upon the governments money which
they loan to industries or TO speculu-
tore.
The moneys Of the public treasury
thus deposited in privately owned banks
may reach the enormous figure OF one
hundred and fifty millions OF dollars,

ested in the maintenance Of n system SO

a dispatch this ~toreonon from George

genie, brought tie sad news OF thc
death OF Hon. j. \. Evane, chairman OF
the Board. The dispatch says he died
this morning from injuries received yes
terday in falling off n hay stack. The
date OF his funeral has not been set.
The INDEPENDENT has not the data at
hand from which to write a fitting
obituary of Mr.. Evans. II will, there
fore. content itself today with say ing
thnt he was MI earnest, devoted friend Of
the Nevada State University. His
counse and advice will be sadly missed
in the Board OF Regents. His death
creates a vacancy in the Board which
will be filled by M appointment by
Governor Sparks.
When the writer last saw Mr.. Evans
on the It'll Of this month, he was hale
and hearty aud gave promise OF many
years OF active lie, Now, he lies still ,

Drunkards, Blacklist.

Charles II. Pennypacker, mayor of
Westchester, Pa, determined to do a.
way with the drunkards who live under
his jurisdiction, and has taken very
unique way in hich to do it.
The mayor, or burgess" as be pre-
fers to be called, has made list Of men
and women horrible as il seems--wo-
men are included--oi who can be classed
as loving the wine cup and foaming mug
too well, and has forbidden the saloon
keepers to sellanything more stimulating
than buttefIaiik to them. The edict OF
the burgess has caused great eonsterna-
ton in the little bu,g over which he rules
and drinkers CT all kinds and capacities
are saun,ering casually into their favorite
r. sorts to find il they are one OF the black
listed. Statistics have been published
from time to time. showing, or attempt
ing to show that drinking is not as prev
allen. as il was in earlier days but burgess
Pennypacker evidently does not think
that the court OF round up reached his
town, or he would not have isued bis
ukase. And the result OF his efforts will
be watched With great interest
Drinking, its cause and the results has
been q question before the public for so
long that it is as venerable as circus
joke. That men will drink if they wan,
TO and get drunk If they feel like it, is
an accepted fact, That they can find the
way to the state in which they are happi.
est without any great trouble is also a
sure thing. Temperance workers may
work and lecturers in the same cause may
lecture, but the efforts are not felt as
would seem proper from their, certainly
praise~orthy efforts The appetite for
strong liquors lies within mans own
scope 1t rests with him whether he ris.
es above the temptations that beset him
or lie supinely under his feet. The man
who has no craving for whisky is about
as well fitted to attempt to stop its use
as the old maid is to raise other people S
children. Heis not nearly so we'll qual.
itied because in every woman's soul the
mother love is planted and springs forth
whenever opportunity affords it vent.
There is nothing on the face Of the
earth SO pitiful, so great burden to
friends or SO hated and loatb by himself
as the drunkard. who does not care to
pul! himself out OF the rut, and sees no
thing before him but to fill drunAard's IS
grave. Theman who wants to quit drink
ing can find ways, plenty Of them, il he
wants to avail himself Of them, and he
won't have to have his name put on the
blacklist. He has only to evince desire
to quit, and he will find a hundred help
ing hands stretching toward him to lift
him to security from on! his slough of
despair. Exchange.

parallel to this strange case.
Mrs. Joy has not seen fit to
narrate her life history or just
what induced her to move back to

when approached on the subject
that she eonsideIed the affairs of
her husband family affair" In
other words, Mrs. Joy declined to

There are several other boarders

Grindstone Academy was more
noted for its pupils and teachers
than the buildings and surround
ings. The school-house was made
of hewed logs pointed with NOR
tar. 1t had a stove instead of fire
place. The benches were long,
while next to the wall was a writ
ing desk. The thought of separ-
ate desks for books and writing
had not yet been entertained by
the pioneer settlers. The ceiling
was rather low and made of nice
oak plank.
On the east ran the country road
and the door faced that way, while
on the west and south were win
dows; lights about ten by twelve
inches snd twelve lights in the
window. Here the boys and girls
of fifty years ago Ilived, laughed
and loved their happy hours away.
The teachers in that day were
feared, for the hickory was in use
almost every day. To teach school
without corporal punishment was
au unheard Of aeco mpishment.
One teacher, named Tandy orear,
was considered a fine diciplinarian
