Prejudice Against Railroads.

1t sometimes appears to the casual
observer that railroads do not get Jus
tice in the courts. The railroad attor-
neys appear to so think. and the dis
appointed advocates for union depOts
are certainly Of that opinion. There
is, to say the least, q decidedly strained
feeling between the poor company and
the dear people. How it started no one
knows but 1t Ia now self-evident that
each side believes that anything made
from the other is like getting money
frome home. But imagine an average
jury trying a suit for damages against
the railroads. One of them once work
ed as a telegraph oerator for twelve
hours a day for seven daye in q week
for forty dollars a month. Here we
have a farmer whose brindle COW was
killed by train. and who received an
amount equal to half the cows value
after the cows calf had died Of the hol-
low horn. A merchant Il there
who lost a crate Of eggs and when they
finally arrived smelled like the Char
lotte crematory on a busy day. Anoth-
er is a young man who tried 80 beat

OF the remaining five, three had the

it was to make the purchase took
ashore with him the bo'swain, as rep
resenting the crew, to look over the AM
mails and either object or not They
approached the first animal. ~How
viii that do?" asked the officer. The
bo'swain cautiously approached the
beast. bent down and gingerly ran his
thumb and forefinger down first one

Straightening up. he said: He'll do

points OF bullock by the shaHks.
Perhaps not, sir; but they are the

AND NAMED SUCCESSOR
Didn't Want Leeds or the Moores to
Interfere Loree's Big
Salary.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 13.-In fnan-
cial circles it is claimed that Speyer
& company insisted on the retirement
of W. B. Leeds and Vice President
C. Fl. Warren, of the Rock Island,
and named their former successors
before the bank would back the COM
pany in its financial scheme. L. F.
Loree, recently elected president of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. was
induced to leave the B. & O. to take
the presidency of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific by the financial in
terests above spoken Of, it being con-
ditioned on the banking firm advanc-
ing money on the bond issue; that for
so doing 1t should name a man who
should become the head of all Rock
Island companies, and who as such
would be clothed with supreme power
to operate the property without inter-
ference either from Mr.. Leeds or the
Moores. 1t is stated that no other
railroad president will have the alb
solute sway which will be exercised
by President Loree, for upon him the
banking firm depends to make Rock
Island securities valuable by an in
telligent operation of the system. To
make it worth while for Mr.. Loree to
leave the Baltimore & Ohio he was
offered salary of $4,000 a year
and given a stock bonus which will
make him a very wealthy man within
the next few years, provided the
stocks turn out as they are expected
to. It was learned that when the
Moores first planned to retire out
standing securities and replace them
with bonds they found strenuous OPP
position to the amount of the issue.
An appeal was made to Speyer &
company, they thoroughly investigat-
ed the Rock Island system, and the
result was that propositions by
Speyer & company to name a director
and the president of the road were
accepted. The change In financial
backing and the head Of the system
means a reorganization which will put
new blood into the property.

AGED COUPLE
szsa4--1
UNITE LIVES
IN WAYNE CoUNTY's COURT
HOUSE IN THE PRESENCE
OF A FEW GUESTS
Judge Abbott Performed the Cere
mony and the Couple Made
Happy.

"Matches are made in Heaven,
we are told This does not refer to
the Lucifer brand. or to the common
parldr match, but It does refer tc
parties destined to be united forever
in matrimony. That this was the
case with the principals to this story,
seems evident.
Yesterday about 10 a. m. there
came sauntering into the county
clerk s office an aged couple and they
told that official they wanted a Ii
cense to marry, which same was IS
sued to them with good grace and
the greatest Of pleasure, having re
ceived the necessary two hundred
cents. The parties to the marriage
were John T. Broadstone and Mar
garet e. Brown. The former lives in
Dayton and the latter in Hagerstown
Ind
After the marriage license was IS
sued the couple asked for some one,
not a minister to marry them. They
were escorted into the county clerk s
private Office and Judge Abbott sum-
moned. The good-natured judge.
with his usual cunning, eyed the cou-
pie for a moment and then with a
grace and dignity that is peculiarl,
his own pronounced the words that
united the lives of John and Mar
garet.
Mr.. Broadstone is sixty-four years
of age and had a previous marriage
experience, his wife being dead about
fifteen months. while Mrs. Broad
stone assumed the role of wife once
before, her husband having been dead
about three years.
Mr. B. was a soldier, so was Mr.
B. deceased. The companion of each
died on the 18th of the month; MAX
ing coincidence in the affair.

LABOR MEETING
LAST NIGHT
AT THE PHILLIPS OPERA
HOUSE A SUCCESSFUL
AFFAIR.
GENITAL LABOR COUNCIL
Had Charge of the Affair Miss
Fredericks Unable to be Pres
Speeches.
GENITAL LABOR COUNCIL

Last night grand labor meeting
was held in the Philips opera house
A large number of the leading labor
aoitators of Richmond were present
at this meeting, which was held un-
der the auspices of the Central Labor
Council. Edgar A. Perkins, presi-
dent Of the Indiana State Federation
of Labor, spoke along the lines OF
trade unions. His speech was main
ly taken up by an account Of the gen.
eral organization which is now being
carried on and told many of the
benefits of this same organization
His talk was very fine and greatly
appreciated by those present. Edwin
F. Gould, of Indianapolis, editor of
the "Union,' the state labor paper,
spoke on "The Need Of Woman Be
ing Educated In the Trade Union
Movement !" He spoke on the fac.
that woman was getting finer edu-
cation now than formerly and that
the better and finer the education
should be, the quicker would woman
get along in the trade union move
ment
Miss Lillian Fredericks, the woman
speaker, was called east by some i'm
portant business and was unable to
get back in time for this meeting.
and Mrs. Anna B. Fields, of Elwood
the organizer of the Woman s Label
league, spoke in place of Miss Fred
ericks.
Mrs. Fields talked about the eff
forts of woman in regard to not pur-
chasing articles, of whatever class,
that had not the union label on them.
This Woman s Label league was
formed in order to help the men in
this way. that the women in the
league buy no goods that have not the
union label on them. This causes thu
storekeepers to buy larger lots of
union-made clothing. This league is
doing some good work and the union
workers have already begun to feel
the effects of the ladies' work. Mrs.
Fields is a very eloquent speaker. Tt
is seldom that a city has so MANY
fine speakers in one evening on the
greatest question of the day.

Smith has been called in from Cam

The game was lost through the in
cXcusably poor work of both Moore

There were more Davenport peo-

were Rock Islanders so afflicted.
