A ballad that won instant fame

wish Of it's author was Aud Robin
Gray" written by Lady Anne Lindsay
about the end of the eighteenth century
merely for her own satisfaction to re-
place the coarse verses Of an old melo-
dy that pleased her. She sang charm
ingly, and the new ballad soon came
into favor. Great was the curiosity
aroused as to the author Of this pa
thetic song, in whose simple verses all
the elements of a heartrending tragedy
are contained. but Lady Anne, modest
and retiring by nature. preserved 81
lence for many years. smiling, no
doubt, at the controversy that ragged so
hotly. In the course of it her ballad
was attributed by some disputants to

The Concern Alleged to be Respon-
vestieated.

The age of swindling operations Is
not by any means over; but whether
any of the farmers of Wayne county
have been swindled in this land-sell.

not yet been able to ascertain. The
latest alleged swindle involves many
thousands of dollars and hundreds OF
farmers in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois

been uncovered at Franklin, Ind.

Taylor represented himself as the

had five agents working for him
throughout Indiana. One of the
agents, giving his name as Faulkner.
was arrested in Edinburg and taken to

statements made to the detective,
many farmers in Indiana entered into
an agreement with Taylor, through
him or his agents, to buy lots In

to the effect that the Frisco company

INTEREST

Considerable interest is attached
to the trouble which the indianapolis
& Eastern Ry is having now in Han
cookbook County, on account of the
Commissioners revoking all fran
chises to operate along the National
Road. AS the Interurban company is
given but 80 days in which to vacate,
If it complies with the demand OF the
Commissioners, service will be knock
ed out for months, while a private
right of way is being secured and the
road is being moved.
1t seems, however. that the inter-
urban company has no intention of
leaving the National road and a law
suit, which will last for years, ia i'm
minent. The road could not be NOV
ed at a cost less than hundreds OF
thousands of dollars and while the
case is in the courts, being carried
from one to another until final de-
cision is reached, the case can be op-
Grated and be paying interest on the
capital, unless an injunction is served.
There seems to be mo- room for an in
junction however as this is the first
case of it's kind that has ever come
up.
The ownership of the great National
Road is the question at stake, and it
will have to be decided first of ALL
If the. road is not the property of the
county through which 1t runs, all fran
chises can be revoked and the interur-
ban railways will have to move off.

RAIL ROAD men
WATCHING OHIO
LOCAL OFFICIALS INTERESTED
IN FIGHT BETWEEN LEGIsLA-
..TURE AND RAILROADS.
CLEVER MOVES ARE MADE
According to Railroad Men Two Cent
Rate Bill Came Because Politicians
Were Sore.

Railroad men, especially the EN-.
ployes of the Pennsylvania Lines, are
busy guessing what will be the next
move on the part of the players in the
game between the Ohio Legislature
and the railroads, and they find that
to pick the winner at this stage of the
contest is rather a hard proposition.
According to the story of the rail
road men the fight was started by
the refusal of the roads to grant pass
es to public officials and especially to
following the cutting off of passes the
law-making body passed a statute
which forbids the use of free pass by
an official when in Office. Ala this
happened several months ago. The
legislature continued it's fight by
adopting the two cent rate. The
railroads retaliated by cutting out
round trip tickets. The next move
was made by the legislature, in
threatening to alter certain clauses
in the contracts of the Voluntary Re-
lief Department. This was check
mated by petitions sent to the legisla-
ture by the employees of the whole
system, entreating that body to sus-
pend action In the insurance matter,
as the railroads would abolish the
system altogether IL those clauses
were cut out.
BY this time the 2-cent a mile rate
had gone into effect, and the rail-
roads scored a victory by claiming
that travel from one state to another
Is subject only to national legislation
and the same rates are charged as
formerly. A few days ago, a bill was
passed increasing the license of al,
trains on which liquors are sold. This
will be blow to the dining and cafe
car service. and up to the present
time 1t has not been replied to by
the railroads. The majority of the
cheap rate Sunday excursions are to
go. by the edict of tn officials of the
Central Passenger Association, issued
this week, and mid week excursions
will probably be abolished altogether.
Seems like great deal of trouble.
