Oral decision of the court on

By the court
The authorities seem to be
somewhat mixed relative to the
matter of bringing suit for damages
where there is special contract.
They seem to differ as to whether
or not the suit should be brought
on the contract or whether it
might be brought on the common
law liability. | am inclined to
the belief that the suit was prop
erly brought perhaps upon the
common law liability for neg
ligence because there is nothing
contained in the contract which
relieves the defendant in this
action from any damage which
might accrue from negligence.

be SO placed by the party caucus
as to be compelled to cast his
vote for that very crime.
Also, it may be tried to again
unseat Adams. Experience has
proved that the gang are ready
and willing to steal everything
not spiked down, and the re-
publicans in the last session were
scarce who possessed the courage
to rebel and vote their honest
sentiments. Even those who did
are now repentant and are doing
what they can to prove that they
regret being honest. For ex-
ample note what DeLong said in
the Legislature and what he is say

Then there arises the question
of experience. Hicstand has had
one invaluable lesson. He is on
to the ropes. Vincent would go
into the house green and the ses-
sion would be ended before he
was of as much power and in

and the democrats have presented
such for your suffrages.
There is one element in the

From a democratic standpoint,
his election would be a catas-

Weather Conditions.

Clear weather is general this morn
ing in New England, northern Michi-
gan, Minnesota, the eastern parts Of
The Dakotas, and on most of the Pa
cifc coast. The southern moderate
storm has moved northwestward and is
now central over southern Illinois, with
the area of cloudy and rainy weather
extended northward to southern Wis
consin, westward to include the eastern
parts Of Iowa and Missouri and east
ward to the middle and south Atlantic
coast. The low-pressure area over the
northern portions Of Alberta and Sas-
katchewan remains nearly stationary
but the rains accompanying it are re-
ported as far south as southern Mon
tana. The temperatures are somewhat
lower than they were yesterday morn
ing in the Dakotas and thence west
ward; elsewhere there has, been little
change. It seems probable that the
Illinois storm will continue it's north
ward movement at least as far as
southern Wisconsin, and cause showers
In this vicinity tonight and Friday, but
with little change in temperature.
