EscH-ToWNsENp MEASURE GOES
THROUGH THE HOUSE Bv A
LARGE MAJORITY.

Washington. Feb. 10.--After nearly
four days Of discussion the house
Thursday by q vote of 326 to L.,
passed the Each Townsend bill provid-
ing for the regulation OF freight rates.
The negative vote was made up Of
eleven Republicans and six Democratic.
The closing hours IT the debate were
occupied by Messrs. williams of Mis-
stssippi. the minority leader, and Hep
burn of Iowa. chairman of the commit
tee which reported the bill. Mr.. Will
Jams, while supporting the minority
measure. even though ne said he knew
It could not pass. complimented the
Republicans for bringing in bill
which was much better than he expect
ed would come from them.
The speech of Mr.. Hepburn was
rather in defense of himself. He said
that his deeds and acts were a SUM-
Client answer to the ''lies" and Sian
ders," which had been heaped upon
him. The bill known as the Hepburn
bill he said, had been prepared by the
attorney general and he only yielded
to this colleagues on the committee on
the Townsend bill because he
did not want the committee to be the
target for scribblers. who wanted SEN
sationai headlines. He devoted some
time to . strong presentation OF the
merits Of the majority's measure.
A bill was passed authorizing the

On Friday evening, Febrrary 10, at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Ross in
this city, James @. Edmonds and Mrs.
Jessie Ross Cowie were united in mar
riage. 1t was quiet wedding, the
ceremony taking place promptly at six
o'clock, in the west parlor and in the
presence of small company OF relatives
and friends. Immediately following
the ceremony the company repaired to

dinner was served. Those present
besides the members of the Ross family
and Miss Ruby Cowie, were Miss Mar.

Edmonds, comparatively new conner

and builder. This paper joins with the
many friends in wishing them many
years of happiness and prosperity.
The unique feature of the occasion
was due to an Christian Endeavor social
at the same home on that evening.
Although the first guest came only an
hour and half after the ceremony and
q short half hour after dinner, yet nc
traces that something unusual had
happened, were noticed. Some won

When the court asked Rudolph

A law should be enacted doing away
with the justice Of the peace except the
police justice, in cities or villages, Of
say, 1900 inhabitants, and more power
given the county court, give it
jurisdiction in civil cases where the
amount evolved does not exceed $500
then make she circuit court bear the
same relative position to the county
coart, that the supreme court does to
the circuit. In other words court of
appeal, in minor actions, let the circuit
judge sustain the lower court, or send
the case back for rehearing. 1t is ridi-
culous to try o case where the amount
involved is 50, and take up day in the
trial in circuit court, when the cost to
the county is $500, as was done at this
term, and it could not be avoided under
the existing law. Under the present
law county Judge must be q qualified
attorney competent to decide points Of
law and pass on the admissibility Of
evidence.
