Passed Away

The following is an extract from
the eulogy written on the death of
S. w. Miles, formerly resident of
this place, which appeared in the
Corydon Iowa Times Republican of
May IS, 1906.
S. w. Miles was born in Marion
county, Ohio, December 9th I847.
He removed to this county with his
parents, VIM. and Emily Miles, in
April 1858, and has ever since, with
the exception of ten years spent in
Coldwater and Meade, Kansas,
made Iowa his home. He was mar
ried June goth 1875 to Miss Maggie
C. Glendening, of Lineville. To
them were born eight children, four
sons and four daughters, all of whom
survive him.
AT the age of II he entered the
Naval Academy at Newport, R. l.,
intending to make the navy his life
work, but after passing year there,
the separation from his parents and
brothers and sisters at home over
came him and he gave it up. After
securing an education in the colleges
at Hillsdale and Ann Arbor, Mich,
he prepared himself for his profess
sion of law and entered into it, and
for number of years was partner
with Capt. ]. N. McClenahan. He
afterwards became editor and pub
Usher of the Corydon Times, now
the Times-Republican.
His death was caused by an in
ternal cancer from which he has
been suffering for the past two years,
and much of that time in extreme
pain. All that cauld be was done
to arrest the pain.
All his brothers and sisters were
with him when the end came. His
body was brought to Corydon and
was laid to rest on the morning of a
day SOFTLY in tune with the CHEEKY,
helpful and sunny life just closed.
Rev. H. P. Dudley, friend oi
former years conducted the funeral.

Judges of circuit and city courts will be instructed to charge their grand juries on the provisions of the game law.

RAILWAYS CANNOT
 REDUCE THE RATES
SUPREME COURT DECIDES THAT SHIPPERS ARE LIABLE FOR PUB LlsHEp RATES EVEN THOUGH A CHEAPER RATE IS PROMISED.

Washington, May 1.-The supreme court of the United States today reversed the decision of the court of appeals for the Second district of Texas in the case of the Texas and Pacific Railroad company vs Mugg & Dryden, involving the liability of a railroad for damages in case in which a shipper is quoted d lower rate than the published schedule, and then made to pay at the published rate. In this case Mugg & Dryden were originally given the rate of $1 .25 per ton on two carloads of coal to be shipped from Coal Hill, Ark to Weatherford Tex, but when the coal was delivered they were required to pay S275 per ton. The shippers brought suit for the difference. and 1t was awarded by the state courts.
 The supreme court, however. took the position that for the road to make a charge below that of the published sched- ule would be a violation of the interstate commerce act, and hence not permissible even though the lower rate had been promised.

ASKS FOR INVESTIGATION. Desires to Know Disposition of S5oot Received By Certain Railways.

Bucyrus, Ohio. May 14-Judge Tobias today. in charging the grand jury. asked for an investigation for the record of Frank S. Monnett, and former prosecutor of Charles Gallinger of this county on the rumor that in case against several rail- roads several years ago they received S5O00 more than was authorized by the court which extra amount it is alleged has never been accounted for. Monnett is at present engaged as special counsel for the government in the investigation of relations of the railroads with the iron and coal industries.
 The case was one in which suit was brought by Monnett and Galinger against the Ohio Central and Hooking Valley rail- ways endeavoring to oust them as trust The case was finally settled, the court authorizing a payment of 5000 by the rail- way companies.

Important Section.


 MT. Hale expressed the opinion that this section was one of the most important of the bill, as it provided the machinery for the execution of the proposed law. He would have the commission of a char acter so strong that 1t would command the respect of carriers, shippers and courts alike, and he believed that the only way to secure this result was to pay liberal salaries
 "The remuneration is a bagatelle com pared with the results.' he continued, and said further that if the right kind of tribunal was secured the courts would think twice before disturbing the com missions orders. He would give the com mission and the rate-fixing body power He believed this rate could be accomplished by adopting the Lodge pro- [ vision.
 Senator Bailey suggested that an im- provement could be secured by dividing the country into nine transportation dis tricts, and MT. Hale indicated a willing ness to accept that modification.
 Senator Foraker said that an increase of the number of commissioners would result in increasing the delay in adjudi- cation. He thought there should be re- duction of the number instead of an in- crease. The Ohio senator also criticised the provision requiring a division of the commission among the political parties, and distributing among the professions, saying the Presidents power of selec- tion should not be so circumscribed. Senator Lodge announced his willing ness to accept MT. Baileys suggestion, saying that he had not had in mind the securing of any advantage for his sec tion of the country. but that his object was to secure the best possible body with due preference to proper distribution. At this juncture the Senate held an executive session of five minutes and then adjourned.
