Teamster.

The time Of the U. S. court has
been taken up since yesterday morning
in the trial Of a personal damage case
against the Frisco railroad, the
amount asked being the sum Of sl2,-
600.
The plaintiff is John w. Hill, now
of Marietta, in the Chickasaw nation.
At the time Of the injury, Aug. 3,
1901, Mr.. Hill lived near Catoosa and

place with mule team, his son-in-law
being in the wagon with him. The
local freight train was discharging
some freight, and the engine was a
car length or two from the crossing.
As the men IN the wagon were driving
across the track the unexpected escape
of steam scared the mules and they
ran away. Mr.. Hill was thrown out

Made a Decided Hit With vinita
Audience Monday Night.

Last nights musical farce, ''Spotless
Town. was the kind Of show Ninita
cheerfully pays her money to see.
There was only a moderate house
but everyone present enjoyed the even
ing fully. The Sapolio catch phrase,
"Spotless town, had little allusion
and its employment must have been
an accidental shot by the author.
There was, however, the familiar po-
liceman, and one or two songs brought
in suggestions OF the famous adyer-
tisement.
The play is well written, but, like
the company, IS new. and the opera
house managers We're reluctant about
giving their personal assurance Of
merit. They would have been safe in
doing So, however. and next season if
Leila Shaw and her company returns
to Ninita they may be assured OF a

Francisco and the company is just
from the West, having come from
Colorado in long jumps. From here
they went to Galena.

COST OF LIVING ENHANCED

The issue by Mr.. Carroll D. Wright
of his report on wages and prices,
which was prepared and circulated at
government expense but intended for
use as campaign document and so
applied, was met instantly by loud
chorus Of protests from the people.
They did not know exactly what to
make of its figures, because they are
not expert statisticians, but they knew
that those figures were wrong.
To tell any man who had maintained
household anywhere in this country
for the last ten years that the excess Of
his income over his expenditure has
been growing larger during that time
is to force him either to laugh or to
swear. He knows better. His wife
knows better. His little bank account
or his numerous creditors, as the case
may be, give him information that no
statistical tables can overcome. He
knew that, as far as this report was
concerned, it was an attempt to bunco
him. He could not prove it. The fig
ures given in the new Democratic text
book do.
T he G 10 b pointed out in a series
of@articles at someelength at the time
of the. issue of the Wright report
wherein its. fallacies were found. It
argued from altogether insufficient and
Inaccurate premises. These were
chosen with reference not to finding
out the truth, but to establishing de-
sired and prearrangeac conclusion. From
such a. defiled fountain pure water
could not flow. The: compilers of the
Democratic campaign book have taken
statistics that cannot be Questioned by
any Republican, because they also are

which is a part of the existing admin
istration. They come from the report

Guiding seven times the number of en-
pioyes affected by the Wright report,
shows that while wages were Ia per

GREAT WESTERN MAKES
ITS ANNUAL REPORT

The twelfth annual report of the
Chicago Great Western was issued
yesterday by Auditor C. o. Kalman.
The report shows that the gross re-
celpts for the fiscal year were $S,O22,-
673, an increase over the preceding
year OF $199,4S3. But the operating
expenses also increased nearly a half
million, and SO the net earnings of the
road show a decrease of $2S2,O32.
The taxes On the railroad property
increased about $4,000.
During the year two branch lines,
aggregating a mileage Of Ill miles,
We're transferred or leased to two
minor Iowa companies, and as a result
the total of mileage operated by the
Great Western for the year shows a
decrease.
The gross earnings increased 2.55
per cent and the operating expenses
1854 per cent. Besides the interest pay

A FOOLISH CUSTOM

We can tolerate for time at least
the continuance of the absurd custom
of having long letters Of acceptance
delivered to the public by nominees
for the presidency. The Importance of
the Office and the event warrant it, al
though the growing habit of drawing
out these documents to inordinate
length until they constitute dull
treatise on current political history is
bringing them into i'll odor. But we
must draw the line on the vice 'presi-
dency. When a vice president strives
to drag himself through four or five
columns Of close newspaper print, he
invites the blue pencil
We do not believe there are fifty peo-
pie in the United States who care what
candidate for the vice presidency as
such has to say in accepting his inonai-
care what the frigid and innocuous
Mr.. Fairbanks has to say. With equal
impartiality we admit that the public
is not consumed with thirse-sto hear
from the Hon. Henry G. Davis how
ever much they admire him. The. whole
business of vice presidential letters Of
acceptance should be cut out.
The Office itself is important only as
standing In the line of succession. It
is potency and not powers It, is al
ways understood that the man noIni-
mated for 1t is respectable person
who conforms closely to the regular
party view, and who could not with
out political indecency, differ in any
particular in his letter from the letter
which his chief and associate on the
ticket has already made public. There
fore, anything beyond 100 words from
him is a superfluity. AS compulsory
matter of news. the papers give some
space. to a portion of the letter of Mr..
Fairbanks and will treat Mr.. Davis
with equal liberality.s But the public
passes all vice presidential utterances
up. and wishes that they might be
nermanently abolished forthwith.

STAMPEDE FOR JOBS
Striking Machinlsts Fight for
Old Positions

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-The nine
month struggle of the machinists and
boilermakers of the Chicago, Lake
Shore & Eastern against 10 per cent
wage reduction is at an end.
The company announced that il the
unions would call off their strike it
would reinstate as many of the former
employees as possible at the lower
wages. The result was a stampede of
more than half Of the four hundred
strikers, which caused fighting and
brought out the police.
The company hired 100 of the old
men and will take on more until full
union crews have been engaged. The
non-union men will be discharged.
The railroad, which is owned by the
Illinois Steel company, announced the
first of the year that it would inaugu-
rate a 10 per cent cut in wages. The
machinists and boilermakers walked
out and the company, started to en-
ploy non union workers. Fifty arrests
have been made by the police for as
saults, forty men have been ''slugged,"
locomotives have been damaged SO that
they could not be run and tracks have
been torn UP.

Assistant General Passenger Agent
A. b. Smith. of the Northern Pacific,
today made statement regarding the
showing of the road in transporting
the knights Templar to the Pacific
coast, and pointing out the application
to the coming Lewis and Clark exposi-
ton to be held in Portland, Or. Mr..
Smith said:
The Northern Pacific railway has
just completed data covering the west
bound movement of nineteen special
trains with 1880 Knights Temp1ar en-
route to San Francisco, showing rec
ord Which is phenomenal. These trains
nave been moved over the transconti-

Or, without an accident of any kind,

This train movement equals hand

0o0 miles of track and delivery at des-
tlnatlon on time; and this was ac-
compllshed without any delay to the
hundreds of trains moving on regular
schedule over the system When one
considers the long distance these trains
were hauled, then one realizes in a
small degree the excellent physical
condition and the perfect operating or
ganlzatlon which makes such a record
possible.
From the eventful trip of Lewis and
Clark in 1893 to that of today is but a
step in evolution but the many chang
es in this Western country have been
almost unthinkable. The people of the
great Northwest, with an unbounded
faith which is justified, will, by the
Lewis and Clark exposition, to be held
In Portland in 1905, make comprehen-
s1ble these changes in the settlement
and development of this country
Alive to the Importance of educat-
ing the East to the rapid progress and
growing influence in national affairs,
this exposition has been organized to
show to the world what 100 years west
OF the Mississippi have done. The rail-
ways will make low rates and every
possible facility will be afforded to the
people to study Washington, Oregon
and the intermediate country trav-
ersed hundred years ago by those
hardy pioneers-Lewis and Clark.
"The Pacific Northwest of today is
little understood by most of us, nor is
its growth and possibilities compre-
hended. The thousands of acres of
arabic lands, the great forests, the vast
mines of good coal and the best sea-
ports of the world are ready for the
further upbuilding of great empire.
Congress should convene early in
the fall of 1905 on special train, with
every representative of that body pres
ent for tour of the great West, going
out via Southern lines, spending
enough time in the West to see and
understand it's value, and return home
over the Northern lines via ST. Paul
and Chicago, with a broader grasp of
the needs of the entire country, and
more catholic idea of what can and
should be done to develop this Western
empire, which is to be the home of I'M
born millions of their countrymen."
