Chicago Loses Gas Suit

Chicagos 75-cent gas suit against
the Peoples Gas Light and Coke COM
pany was held to be invalid and not
enforceable by decision Of Judge
Peter S. Grosscup of the United States
circuit court In 1900 the city council
passed an ordinance fixing the price
of gas in this city at rs cents a thou
sand. The gas company refused to
recognize the ordinance and continued
to charge 81 thousand. Two years
later the city brought suit against the
company to compel them to rebate the
people 25 cents on every dollar that
had been paid the company for gas
after the passage of the 75-cent ordi-
nance.
The 85-cent gas ordinance just
passed by the city council and ac-
cepted by the gas company invalidated
the 75-cent ordinance, but many OF the
consumers who had saved their gas
receipts since 1900 still held them in
the hope that the city would win the
suit and that the gas company would
be compelled to pay the rebate. The
suit will be appealed to the United
States supreme court

A large touring automobile contain
ing a man and his wife in narrow
road met a hay wagon fully loaded.
The woman declared that the farmer
must back out, but her husband con-
tended that she was unreasonable.
"But you can't back the automobile
so far" she said, "and I don't intend
to move for anybody. He should have
seen u.s."
The husband pointed out that this
was impossible, owing to an abrupt
turn in the road.

move if we have to stay here all

The man in the automobile was
starting to argue the matter when the
farmer, who had been sitting quietly
on the hay, interrupted.

like her at home"

Company Not Thriving

Many of the stockholders in the

the report that the company has lost
money during the last year. Two aud
itors checked over the books during

other examination of the books, with
the result that poor showing is said

IOWA LEGISLATURE WANTS VoT-
Frs TO THINK.
Bill Passed Requiring Them. to Put
Cross Opposite Each Candidates
Name so as to Prevent Frequent
Spelling of Tickets.

Governor Cummins won another
point in the senate OF Iowa when the
bill for the encouragement of indie
pendent voting, introduced by Smith
of Mitchell, the progressive leader OF
the senate, was passed with but SIX
negative votes. The bill provides for
the elimination of the circle from the
head of the Australian ballot and re-
uuires the voter to check the name OF
each candidate for whom he wishes
to vote.
Attempts had been made by the
democrats in nearly every session OF
the legislature since the adoption OF
the australian system to remove the
circle from the ballot, but the move
had hitherto been opposed solidly by
the republicans, on the ground that
80 per cent of the ballots cast are, vot-
ed straight and that the circle enabled
a voter to vote a straight ticket by
making one cross on the ballot. This
time the move came from the leader
of the progressives and the Standpat-
tiers. offered no opposition.
In supporting the measure Senator
Smith said that it would prevent many
tickets from being spoiled at each cleo
ton, and that it would do away with
the necessity of complicated instruc-
lions to voters.
81, myself Smith declared, find it
necessary to read over these lnstruc-
tons carefully whenever [ want to
scratch my ticket. as sometimes oc-
ours, and this bill will simplify mat
tiers SO that the only instructions need
ed will be that each voter shall put
the cross in the square in front OF
the name of every candidate he wishes
to vote for. In that way the simplest
minded person can vote and have MS
ballot counted"
Smith admitted that it would require
more time to vote, but said he believed
the advantages would overbalance this
objection There were no other
speeches. and ON the roll call the bill
was passed by vote of 81 to 6. The
negative votes were cast by Senators
Bruce, COPYRIGHT, Durham, Hayward,
Jones and Spaulding.

STILL WATERING STOCKS
Railway Capital Increases Out of Pro-
portion to MILEAGE.

Railway capitalization is increasing
far in excess of new railway construc-
ton, according to report TO the in
terstate commerce commission, just
made public, for the year ending June
80, 1904. In spite of this fact the
commission says it is unable to de-
termine whether the new capitalize
ton represents water" or actual in
creases in valuation. The figures
show, however, that much larger
percentage of the stock pays divi-
dends now than a decade ago.
The capitalization June 80, 1898,
was S94,625,239, or at the rate of
S59,729 per mile of road. In the next

OPPOSE PRIMARY LAW
Iowa Railroads Are Fighting Against
Its Adoption.

Governor Cummins says the rail
roads are "exerting every ounce of
strength which money and organiza-
ton can create to defeat the primary
election bill" (Now pending in the
general assembly,
"They are hunting it to its death

ness | have never seen surpassed.
They know that if the bill passes 1t
will do more to lessen their influence
in politics than any other measure
now proposed for the public good.
Let no man be deluded by the speci-
suggestion that primary elections
will increase the power of the rail-
roads. If so, these masters of intrigue
who are now endeavoring to thwart
the will of an overwhelming proper
ton of the voters of Iowa, would not
be spending the winter in Des
Moines.'

ONE OF SENATOR VESTS BEST
His EuIogy on the Dog is a Little
Masterpiece

One of the most famous speeches
ever made by the late Senator Vest,
of Missouri, was made in the course
of the trial of man who had wanton-
ly shot a dog belonging to neigh
Dor. Vest represented the plaintiff,
who demanded 5000 damages. When
Vest finished speaking, the jury, after
two minutes deliberation, awarded
the plaintiff $500. The full text of
the speech:
Gentlemen of the Jury: The best
friend a man has in this world may
turn against him and become his
enemy. His son or daughter that he
has reared with loving care may prove

trust with our happiness and our good
name, may become traitors to their
faith. The money that man has

BACK AT IHE DESK
 AFTER FINE VACATION
How Some Of the Arizona Tourists
 Spent Their Time.

Elias Dunlevy. clerk of the district court, returned home yesterday after an absence of about nine weeks. He spent the first six weeks in Denver, his former home. and of course had most enjoyable time. From Denver he went to Los Angeles and for the last three weeks has been there and at nearby points.
 Los Angeles is a remarkably lively place, he says, and it beats Denver both for size and business activity though the former is the prettier place and is itself enjoying a healthy pros perity. But Los Ange es just now is losing it's Arizona appearance. as most of the Arizona visitors are headed for home Even the HolIenbeck hotel where one always expects to find an Arizona gathering. has but an occa- sional Arizona name listed these days and the nearby beaches are being rap idly deserted.
 During his stay there a MT. Bailey of Colorado took J. w off, a Los An geles mining man; Captain Rius. an automobile dealer; Hon. isaac T. Stod- dard. Judge Kent and MT. Dunlevy on q trip to Catalina in his yacht, for two or three days. Mir.

This was dur ing trip from the Catalina harbor around 10 the isthmus. Mir. off caught d good sized fish on the way over but 1t did not equal the Arizona mans catch Mir. Bailey is engaged in min ing in Colorado and also owns some mining property in the vicinity of Kingman.
 Judge Kent accompanied Mr. Dun levy as far as Prescott. He expects to come on to Phoenix tonight and if there is occasion for it he vii hold court Wednesday.
