the court Tuesday and Wednesday, when
the case was given to the jury in the
evening. They remained out till o'clock
the following. morning and found him
guilty on the first count shooting with
intent to kill" The evidence showed he
had been keeping company with the young
woman, but had not done so for three
months On the night of the shooting
she had been out walking with a young
man named Ben Trueblood. On her re-
turn she went to the Gordon hotel, where
she was employed, having said good night

passed through the office, intending to go
to her room, when Walls, who had been
lying on the lounge in the Office wat p:
for her jumped up and said he wan;

holding OF a semi-centennal celebration OF
the settlement OF this county and vicinity
resulted In the appointment of COmmlttg

celebration one OF importance, TO have some
prominent speakers, and TO invite the gov
ernor and senators and congressman 70
participate. The colony Of Germans who
hrst located in this section Of the state
came from Davenport, Ia, In 1897, reaching

ABOLIsHING SPECIAL FAvORs.
Ohio Railroads Cut Ont Convention
Half Rates.



The Ohio legislature, at its last session,
passed a law reducing the fare on railroads
to cents a mile. Recently the executive
committee OF the republican state commit
tee OF Ohio asked the railroads TO make a
special rate to the republican state con-
'yention. The railroads made reply that,
as the legislature had reduced the fare to
cents, they could not reasonably be asked
further to deplete their revenues by con-
ceding special reductions.
II is gratifying TO see the railroads take
this position When everybody pays only
a reasonable price for transportation there
will be no excuse for special privileges to
any favored class of travellers. In the long
run the railroads themselves will be bet
ter on II they collect only a fair charge
from Nall and carry none free. The po-
htical life of the, country will feel bene-
hciaI effects IL that form Of petty bribery
known as the pass shall be entirely ell
minated. So far as the enactment OF the
Scent fare law IN Ohio has tended TO re-
duce the free transportation evil IL has
been productive OF benefit of great value

by the champions Of the measure. The re-

STILL IN DARN
1sosivsr Looks Into Question Of Response
bility of Trust Company officials.
TRUST FUNDS HAVE BEEN TAmpERlo WITH
Deeper the Investigation Goes Worse
the state of the Concern
Appears to the Man
AL I'm Charge.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept 1.-The credi-
tors of the Real Estate Trust company
which failed last Tuesday. are still with
out any definite knowledge of the true
condition Of the institution. Up to the
present the best information they can
obtain from the receiver or the directors
IL that they believe the depositors will
get most of their money back.
For the moment Mr.. Earle is giving
considerable attention to the matter OF re-
sponsibility for the condition OF the Trust
company. The depositors generally find
fault with the directors for their failure
to acquaint themselves with the bad con-
dition OF the company, and the directors
in turn. want to know why william F.
North. the treasurer of the Trust CON-
pany. and Horace Hill. the auditor, should
not have discovered Mr. Nipples irregu-
lar transactions.
The DIR. Rev. William Roberts. stated
clerk OF the Presbyterian general assem-
ely. has made formal application to the
receiver TO examine the securities for
the trustees of the general assembly.
These were In the custody of President
Ripple and they amount to nearly $1,000
600.
The report that certain officers and
their relatives withdrew their accounts
from the Trust company after they knew
a was insolvent are denied by officers
or the institution.
Prompted by the discoveries he has
made in the investigation thus far.
George II. Earle, receiver OF the Real Es-
tate Trust company. has engaged Attor-
nay John G. Johnson TO render a legal
spinion as TO the responsibility for the
collapse of the bank. Upon Mr.. John
sons findings will depend the question
of suing the directors.
'rhe deeper 1 probe into the -sffairs

which have heretofore thought were in-

the t2s,00o,000 the company had In trus,
and the loss win not be heavy to any OF

Mr.. Earle today opened the Nipple

that would aid in clearing up the Nipple.

ASKING TOO MUCH.
Association of Doctors Want Fourth
of July Abolished.
Chicago Chronicle.

In the course of a year a good many
churches in the United States are struck
by lightning During the summer resort
season many people are drowned. Numer-
Gus children have stomach ache as the re-
suit Of gustatory excuses at Sunday school
picnics.
Yet we hardly believe that the American
Medical association would favor the aboli-
ion Of churches, summer resorts and Sun
day school picncs because Of the mishaps
incident to those institutions. There Is
hardly anything connected with the life, Of
humanity which has not some drawback
or disadvantage. Only in heaven-and
perhaps not even there-shall we find roses
without thorns. -.
The American Medical association, fol-
lowing the lead and accepting the statis-
tics OF certain pseudo American newspa-
pers which evidently design 10 destroy the
Fourth Of July as a national anniversary,
demands that everything possible shall be
done lin the way OF legal restrictions OF
Fourth of July celebrations" In other
words. the association wants to stop the
commemoration of Independence day.
The excuse for this demand is to be found
m the casualties reported by the newspa-
pers from which the association takes Its
cue. Because a certain number of people
"a number never yet positively ascer-
tained--hurt themselves on the Fourth OF
July therefore the celebration OF that an
nIversary must be abandoned. As we have
pointed out in the beginning, this reason
ing, II applied generally would put an end
to religious worship, to summer outings
and to other forms OF recreation.
II would also stop railroad travel be-
cause people are killed on railroad trains;
II would mean stagnation for almost all
forms of amusement and industry, since
some peril Is incident 10 all OF them.
We doubt whether the American Medical
association would care to accept the log
fcal results of its own reasoning. because
Il would put the medical profession out OF
business. Many people die under the hands
OF doctors; ergo. abolish doctors. The
In the Fourth of July matter.
But the association probably ala not in
vestigate the case thoroughly before pro-
nouncing Judgment. II was deceived by
the AngliciEed newspapers and instead OF
combining it's recommendation 10 the treat
ment Of tetanus resulting from Fourth OF
July wounds Il undertook to condemn the
Fourth OF July itself.
This demonstrates the truth OF the old
adage about the shoemaker and his last.
So long as medical associations stick TO
medical matters they are upon safe
ground; when they venture farther afieid
they are likely to make themselves ridicu-
laus

employees Of railroads is an important step
in the right direction. 1t is gratifying to
be assured that the railroads themselves
welcome this regulation and propose to en-.
force 1t strictly.
The railroads doubtless will make special
rates for special occasions. where the vol
ume OF traffic warrants reductions. But
the lower rates in such cases should be
made on that basis. and not simply because
politicians desire to travel at a cheaper
price than is accorded to other patrons of
the transportation lines.
Abolition Of special privileges is a neces-
sary preliminary to securing fair treatment
for the people as a whole

" MdIneWSOu, IN
the games wherein he umpires. Ref
erence is made to Ira j. Davis, known
as Stats" or Dixie" Davis. He is
now sn umpire in the Western league,
and, some say, by far the best umpire
on western fields. He was graduated
from the University of Pennsylvania
in 1894, and the same year made his
debut as a professional ball player in
New England. Since then his eccen-
tricities and clown stunts" have made
him known to fans from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. He left first base to be-
come an umpire, because of an acci-
dent to his wrist three years ago. His
service in the big league has been con-
fined to brief seasons with the Wash
ington and New York teams, but he
knows all the big league stars. 1t was
while he was manager of the Danbury,
Conn, team, in 1898, that he developed
and brought out Sheckard, Parent,
Howell and Phelps. While with New
York he was in the employ of John B.
Day, Adrian G. Arson and Buck Ewing.
While playing in the Western league,
"Slats" Davis was with St. Joe, which
team purchased him from New York
for 81 l,700, Of which he received $500.
But it was while in the Pacific Coast
league that Davis made a showing as
an umpire. having achieved a notable
success there last season. He asked
for a berth III the Western league this
season, that he might renew old ac-
quaintances over the circuit. His sue
cess in the Western league has been
more conspicuous by reason of the riot
ing and rowdyism which has charac-
terized many of the games, and a dead
calm has generally settled down when
"Slats" went into the game. This
caused him to gain the attention of
President Pulliam, of the National
league, who has been having his trou-
bles with many umpires. Davis is a
comedian, and while he holds the play
ers right to the rules and don't have
to take time to look it up in the books,
he enjoys good nature on the ball field
If his decisions are questioned he calls,
