The Officer Did His Outu.

A young woman and an Italian
man were arrested, by City Sergean,
Jesse Cyrus, at the Union station
tuesday night for disorderly con.
duct. The couple were taken be.
fore Mayor York, who, after hear.
ing the evidence in re, assessed each
50 and the trimming. The man from
Sunny Italy had the woman arrest
ed for assault, but after listening to
his little tale of woe, His Honor
decided that the complainant was
an accessory before the fact.
1t seems that a deal of some
kind was being made between the
couple, and that the fair damsei
wanted So for the article to be dis
posed of, but he wished to part
with only So for value received.
Sweet (?) lS became irritated at the
grind organizes and monkeyless da-
go and with the quickness of a cat
unbuckled her Harrington and made
hIm fork over his shekels, while
she still retained the article that
belonged to her. So there!
There being no matron at the
city Jail TO search the feminine pris.
oners, Mayor York ordered Mr.. Cy-
rus to perform those duties, which
he did, with much reluctance.

Two Gent Rate in Effect In Ohio.

Rate clerks of the railway lines
doing business In Ohio are working
overtime adjusting the new tariff
rates which 90 into effect Saturday.
To the ordinary mind it would seem
a simple proposition to reduce the
fare from three cents per mile to
two, but figuring out baseball
schedule is cbild's play compared
to 1t, say the clerks.
The rates within the State have
been adjusted and will go into effect
Saturday, but it will be 30 or 60
days before through tickets over
different roads will be sold. Tickets
can be purchased to the junction of
the roads at the new rates, but when
change of road is made another
ticket must be procured.
1T will be some time before the
interstate rates are arranged, but
railroad officials say the law will be
followed to the letter, although not
enough time was grantedrto arrange
the new schedule. There will be
no change in the policy of the roads,
except cutting off clergy and chari-
ty rates.

INTERESTING STATISTICS.
What the Government Pays for the
 Transportation of Mail.

. SAestAs
 Chicago, Dec 26.-Statistics com piled by representatives of the Unit ed Typothetae of America and the American Weekly Publishers associa- tion, which organizations are vigor- ously fighting the movement to in crease the rates charged for second class mail matter, show that the gov- |ernment is paying the railways three times as much on the average for the transportation of mail matter ss the express companies pay the roads for like services. On the bases of the postmaster generals estimates the publishers assert that the government during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907, will pay the roads almost $32.000.000 more than the express companies would pay them for haul ing an equal tonnage.
 The printers and publishers or-' ganizations compiled the statistics to show that the government, for the purpose of reducing the annual post office deficit. rather should reduce its outlay for the transportation of mails than increase the rate for second class mail matter.
 "One of the chief needs of the gov- ernment is an expect trajc manager" said w. D. Boyce. Chicago publish CT, yesterday. ''It then would get as good rates as the express compan- ies."

PREMATURE BLAST.
Caused Serious Injury to Man on
 North Willow Street.

Tony Devello was painfully in- jured this afternoon about 1880 as the result of premature blast in the cellar of building being con- structed on North Willow street. near the Boulevard. for Frederick Gilmour. Deyello with several other workmen were working in the cellar where several rocks are being exca- vated. Considerable blasting has been done. but without damage. To- day Devello prepared the fuse as usual for the blast which went off unexpectedly. So great was the force of the charge that all the finger tips an one of the mans hands were blown of. His right eye was also closed and it is feared that the man will lose the optic.
 Devello's face was also badly bat tered and pr Brown stated that the man was seriously injured. He was taken to his home on Jackson street.

The Year 1908 Has Been Hard One
 On Railways.


 Chicago, Dec 26.-The Tribune to- day says: The year 1906 will long be remembered as one of great trials and tribulauons for railway and railway oficials that hed broken the laws. Partaking of the zeal dis played by President Roosevelt and his administration in moving against law breakers and further stimulated to action by direct orders from Att torney-General Moody and even from the president himself. the various federal district attorneys during the year have prosecuted more legal pro- ceedings against railroads and their officials than ever before within an equal period in the history of the country.
 Most of these suits were brought for violations of the Elkins law. against eiving or receiving rebates. and in most instances they were in- stituted not only against the railways aud the oficials who gave the re- bates. but also against the individuals or corporations that solicited or sc- cepted them.
 In most instances prosecutions were successful. The fines assessed aggre- gate many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Two men were convicted and sentenced to Imprisonment under the federal conspiracy law.
