The present government of the District

by the president, the people of the Dis

the peoples lobby. A. NJ. Gibson, then

This investigation. so far as Postmaster

Teats Station Cut Out.

Teats Station on the line Of the

at that point after February. General
Manager Gerlinger says this action
has been taken for the reason that the
business offered is not sufficient to
justify the company in longer main
tanning the station, and forthe further
reason that the steep grade at that

Accused Of Wlfe.Beatlng.

Polk county will have a candidate

against William Sportsman, Of Inde-
pendence, are substantiated in the
circuit court. Sportsman was arrested
Saturday upon complaint OF J. K. z.
Graves, the charge being that he had
assaulted and beaten his wife, Mrs.
Ida Sportsman. When the case came
up in Justice Wilson 3 court, Tuesday,
the woman would not testify against
her husband, and appeared anxious
to have him set Tree. Neighbors OF
the family testified, however, that she
had come to them crying and saying
that her husband had beaten her.
After hearing all sides of the case,
Justice Wilson decided that the evi-
dence was sufficient to warrant him
in binding the prisoner over to the
circuit court, and an order was made
accordingly. Sportsman's bonds were
fixed in the sum Of 5000. Judge J. Il.
Sibley appeared for the state, while
the defendant was represented by
