PRACTICAL REFORM.

The order of the Board of Pub
lie Safety closing theaters, skat-
ing Kinks and playhouses on Sun
day, follows close on the sermon
of the Rev. DR.. Francis R. Beatie
in favor of a stricter Sabbeth OBJ
servance.
1t is to be expected that the
organs which pose as the expon-
ents of civic righteousness will
condemn the order, as it puts in
to effect what they desire to see
exist only in theory. That class
of citizens allied with the late un-
lamented Fusion movement thro'
honest but mistaken motives will
find in the action of the Board of
Safety t h e desired answer to
their demands for better Louis
vile.
Mr.. Barth has been in office
but three months. In that space
of time, with the assistance of
The Times, he has already &C

In other words, that the suit
must be one in which the FEEDER
al courts wauld have had origi-
nal jurisdiction.
There is now pending in the
Federal court for the eastern dis
trict of Kentucky, a case trans
ferred from Fleming county on
account of focal prejudice"
where all the parties are resi-
dents of Kentucky. The case
will now go back to the court
from which it should never been
taken. The decision is a distinct
recognition of the rights and the
powers of the States, and is in
line with recent important deci-
sions, evincing something of a
return to reason, and a rebuke to
the Federal judges who look up
on their courts as supreme over
the courts of the State. Owens

ANOTHER IN LINE.

Why the Supreme court is hold
ing back it's opinion in the Pow
ers case is known to the court
which can not do other than re-
mand him to the State courts un-
less it should reverse itself in
the case of Howard and in the
Rodgers case from Vermont. But
whatever may be the reason, the
Supreme court has recently rem
dered a decision of decided inter-
est in civil cases especially of
the class known as the Ku-Klux
cases where suits for damages
are filed the question being made
in the question of the Lake Shore
railway against the city of Cleve-
land. And some Federal Judges
will be disappointed.
The case was removed from
the State courts on the ground of
local prejudice against the rail
road and proceeded swimmingly
until the Supreme court took a
hand. The Supreme court holds
that a case can not be transfer
red from a State court of Compel
ent jurisdiction to the Federal
court, unless the action could
have been brought in the Federal
court in the first instance. Pre-
vious holdings of subordinate
federal courts have been where
even one Of the defenants was a
non resident of t h e State in
whose courts the suit was brought
there could be a transfer to the
Federal court on the ground of
local prejudice.

that his name spread a terror

"Then Nebraska took up the

brought down another swarm of
officers on his trail, but one by
one they bit the dust by his nm
erring aim. Middleton didn't
seem to even try to avoid them,
but shot them on sight.
This thing went on for years
until Doc Middleton had proba-
bly, killed so men. All the time
he protested that he would only
be to glad to live a correct life if
permitted to do so, but he refus-
ed to give himself up to the gal
lows.
AT last his fearful deeds and
proves caused so much alarm
that the authorities offered to
compromise. To this Middleton
assented and agreed to give up
his outlaw life provided the State
would pardon him. This mode
was finally agreed on and Middle
ton came out and gave himself
up. To the credit of the State
there was no treachery and he
was at once released and put on
his good behavior.
From that day to this he has
been one of the most exemplary

KILLED FIFTY men
doc" Middleton, once a Noted
Desperate, Now a Good and
Respected Citizen.

OF the West was all right as Tar
as it went, but one of the most
noted of those men was entirely
omitted. refer to Doc Middle
ton, whose name has long been a
household word in Nebraska,
Wyoming and the Dakotas.
LET me here say that Middle
ton is now a changed man and
no one would ever suspect him
of crime. His word is as good
as gold and his friendship as true
as steel.
Il also want to say that, many
of our noted outlaws have become
such by causes that were no
choice of theirs. Middleton was
one of this class, and his story is
one that has brought him much
sympathy. l will tell you how
1t came about.
I'm the days when the Union
Pacific railroad was being built,
the town of Sidney, in Nebraska,
was one of the hardest in the
tough region. Savage Indians
were all around and still tougher
class within. The business part
of the place was made up of dives,
saloons, gambling dens and other
places of vice. Every man had
gun in his pocket, and it did
not require much provocation to
make him use it. The nights
were made hideous by brawls and
rarely did one pass without an
exchange of shots in some of the
dives.
"At that time young Middle
ton was a medical student from
the East. He was of a quiet and
peaceable disposition and the last
man in Sidney that any one ever
supposed had the making of des-
perado. And he didn't have,
naturally, but he was driven into
| it.
"Of course there was no place
for one to spend an evening ex-
cept in the saloons and to these
the entire population gravitated.
One night young Middleton drop
ped into one of the dance halls
for an hours amusement. In
the place were a lot of United
States soldiers, stationed at Sid
ney to guard against Indian at
tacks. They had been drinking
heavily and were a bit more dan
gerous than the indians. In a
few moments a big, hurley blue
came up to Middleton and grossly
insulted him. Middleton was a
much smaller man but full of
courage, and he resented t h e
treatment. At this the drunken
soldier clinched him and threw
him heavily to the floor.
'This reused all the daredevil
in Middleton and he determined
on swift revenge. 1t was a law
less place that knew no justice
except strength. The soldier was
pounding Middleton but the lat
ter was not idle. In his hip pock-
ct was a 32-caliber revolver, and
he managed to draw. Turning
the muzzle upward he pulled the
trigger and sent the ball through
the heart of the one that was
maltreating him.
'The soldier died instantly but
his comrades were determined to
kill his slayer. Middleton was
too quick for them and escaping
to the out side, mounted his bron-
co and rode swiftly away. The
soldiers, finding their victim had
slipped, vented their rage by de-
stroying the dive. l visited the
place a few years ago and found
it completely dismantled, while
the walls and ceiling were COM
pletely perforated with bullet
holes.
IF the thing had ended there
Middleton would have continued
to be a law-a-biding and peace
able citizen, but the Government
| authorities of nnco offered 70
