But The Green Goods Gang Has
Been Doing Business.

The trial of Haze Lener, of Belle
Centre, before Mayor Hayiland, on
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses, resulted in his ac=
quittal, but there was sufficient evil
dence brought out to show that a
gang of green goods swindlers has
been working the north and north
west parts of the county. Other
cases are liable to develop. when
the right party will be caught.

Riley Grammar Back Number

Riley Grammar, the famous plunger,
and an ex-Parisian, has come to Paris to
spend the Christmas and New Years
holidays with his mother. In the hey
day of his prosperity, Grammar bought
his parents their present home, but this
is the first time in ten years he has
spent his holidays in Kentucky.
He came up from New Orleans, where
be has been booking, and will return to
the Crescent City after the New Year.
Riley complains of feeling none too
well and says his health became impair
ed after enduring winter or two in
London. The climate in cold weather
did not agree with him in England's
great metropolis, and he says he has
never been we'll man since his return
from across the pond.
Grammar does not seek notoriety,
saying that he is only back plumber
now; only blockman and doing little
in the betting Zine. He will be heard
from, however, in the spring

Climatic Cures.

The influence of climatic conditions In
the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient. and the
rich patient, too. can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and regular use of German
Syrup. Free expectoration in the morn
ing is made certain by German Syrup,
so is good nights rest and the absence
of that weakening cough and debilitat-
ing night sweat. Restless nights and
the exhaustion due to coughing, the
greatest danger and dread of the con-
sumptive, can be prevented or stopped
by taking German Syrup literally and
regularly. Should you be able to go to
a warmer cline, you know that of the
thousands of consumptives there. the
few who are benefited and regain
strength are those who use German
Syrup. Trial bottles, 25c; regular size,
75c. At all druggists.-W. T. Brooks.

ROCK ISLAND NOT THERE.
Still Stays Away from the Western

Chicago, July Lines in the Western

opportunity to record their votes on the
adoption of the proposed northern mile

move in the direction of settling the ex-

proposition. That it's vote will be, ike

of subjects, mostly relating to rules
governing excursion and special party
rates is on the docket. The advisable
ity of granting stop-over privileges on

Result of Investigation of a Santa Fe
e-Switchman.

San Bernardino. Cal, July 2.-Train-
master Day, who for some months has
occupied that responsible position for
this division Of the Santa Fe, has an
nounced his resignation, to take effect
at once. The step has been anticipated
and is the climax of the troubles wnicn
have been brewing about the depot for
months, beginning publicly when Mr
Day let out Day Yardmaster w. H.
Halstead and made room for a man
whose position was obtained through
an examination obtained by another
person, and who was totally unable
physically to pass the examination him
self. The matter embroiled the other
switchmen and those who were not dis
missed resigned, Ha1Stead being follow
ed few days later by Engine Foreman
w M Davidson both of whom read
lily obtained good positions with the
Southern Pacific. Matters went from
bad to worse until w. H. Barr, the
switchman-detective, arrived on the
scene and gradually wormed out of
persons in authority the true state of
affairs finally making out his report
to General Manager Wells in which he
made numerous charges against the
trainmaster and accompanied his re-
swore to the truth of what he had writ
ten. Persons in touch with the Los
Angeles office are authority for the
statement that Bars return to San
BerndrdlnO was SOleiy 10 investigate the
condition of local affairs. and having
completed his labors he had been pass
ed along to another quarter which re-
quries investigation Since the trou-
bles in the yard began the company has
been regularly losing something like
nineteen and twenty hours a day of
labor. or in other words the yard work
was always that many hours behind
time. Recently a special agent from
Los Angeles for three nights and days
running kept tab on the work, and no
doubt his findings have had as much
weight as Bars charges in bringing
about the resignation of Mr.. Day.
Mr. Day will probably return to the
American Bridge company at Pitts
burg, from which he resigned last Sep
tcmber to take his present position with
the Santa Fe here. succeeding c. c.
Wray resigned. Roy Day, who has
been stenographer for Chief Clerk
Stopher. of superintendent Beamer's
office also resigns.

many other commodities which Wichita
claimed were charged at an unfair rate.
The discrimination. it was claimed by
Wichita, enabled Kansas City jObbers
TO send their wares to southern points
for less freight charge than was exact
ed from the Wichita merchants. This
put the Wichita merchants at a great
disadvantage, and resulted in the films
of charges before the commerce com
mission. The charges were filed about
six months ago.
