1t was a bright gusty morning in
February on which DR.. Godfrey Hal
kett saw Miss Hinton for the first
time, and they met on the stairs of
tenement. The one was on profes-
sional business, the other stunning.
She wore neat tailor-made frock
with long boa of soft fur, and as
she walked her bangles jingled mu.
sically. Her poor were ungrateful;
they could not appreciate frocks and
gold bangles on other people; they
wanted money and coal and few
more Insignificant trifies of that kind.
Halkett's admiration grew, and 1t
was unique in every way. She was
comparatively rich, he was desperately
poor. He was often very miserable,
for poor folk are not lucrative patients
and board and lodging accounts have
to be paid regularly.
Then he fell in love and forgot all
such minor matters.
After they had met half a dozen
times, Miss Hinton wrote him deli
cately scented little note. inviting him
In her mothers name to dinner. He
furnished up his threadbare dress suit
and went.
During the evening she sang some
pathetic German folk songs, and he
listened with his heart in his mouth,
for he was passionately fond of music.
He said her voice reminded him of
his dead mothers, and her kindness
completed the conquest her singing
had begun.
He walked home with the world in
his watch pockep and fell asleep with
the refrain of her last song running

WEIGHT IS SHORT
Supply House Goods Do Not Hold
Out When Received
SHIPPED FROM CHICAGO
Another Argument In Favor of Pe0-
pie Patronizing Their Home
Dealers in Commodities

The state dairy and food depart
ment recently seized a carload of
groceries which was about to be dis
tributed by a box car merchant to
the people of Preston and other towns
in the southern part of the state.
Many packages of coffee and spices
were confiscated because they were
short weight, and some vinegar and
syrup was also taken. The
seizure was made by Inspect
or J. G. Gowler. The agent of the
company was arrested.
The department reports that the
goods seized were sold by Chicago
firm. The agent was about to de-
liver the goods when the inspector
called at the car and after investi-
eating the weight of the packages
stopped the deliveries, took posses
sion of the goods and caused the ar
rest of the agent says the Marshall
News Messenger.
The coffee was packed in Is and rs
pound drums That is the weight at
which it is alleged they were sold,
but test showed that every one of
the 4S packages was short measure,
the shortage varying from three
ounces to one pound and fourteen
ounces. The total weight should have
been 76O pounds, but was found to
be only 739 pounds and ounces.
The inspector also reported 49 pack
ages of spices found to be under
weight. According to his report there
should have been 1873 pounds of spices,
but as a matter of fact they weighed
only 121A pounds, making a short
age of liz pounds.
The inspector also reports num-
Der of packages of vinegar which he
found to be short in measure and a
number of pals of syrup not proper
ly labeled. The syrup, it is claimed,
contained a greater percentage of
glucose than was shown by the label.
Not so many days ago an oily
tongued agent of a Chicago concern
visited our farmers. He brought with
him samples of groceries galore and
succeeded in getting no less than
thirty-nine orders, aggregating nearly
500, from our immediate neighbor-
hood. The goods arrived last week
and simultaneously an inspector from
the dairy and food department., who
proceeded to examine them, with the
result that he seized and sent to de-
partment headquarters at st. Paul,
one kig of vinegar; 43 cans of spices;
one sack of rice and "a kegs of coffee.
billed as Mocha ard Java but was in
reality only Java and most of it
short on weight. We have before us
"a copy of one bill amounting to $2S.41
and find upon investigation that the
same bill can be duplicated at our 10
cal stores for $21S5, a difference of
s6.56 in favor of our home merchants
and corresponding loss to the pur-
chaser. To make the difference in
price more plain we herewith give a
copy of the articles bought, the price
paid to the Chicago concern and the
price at which exactly the same art
icle can be bought any day at our
Preston stores:

CHICAGO. Jan. le.-Swifti 4 Co. have

that considerable Of the IS. q 5. stock

was merely a minority holding.
When the Government got after the
packers, the agitation resulted ia shak-
ing out a few week holders of packers
stock. All the -. & g stock offered
was snapped up IN tire interests Of the
Swifts- few days ago another weak
holder dropped his stock. which also
was taken by the Swifts. This gave
them enough 10 control the other con-

Confusion in Schedules.

which trainmen were required 10 use on
all days or the week. and which was
impossible for train No. C. 10 make on
sundays. thereby adding confusion and
danger 10 the movement Of trains on
the Metropolitan branch.
The jury is OF the opinion, on the evil
dence submitted al this inquest that the
normal block system as a. present Oper-
ated on the Metropolitan branch of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, does not
auOrd sufficient protection 10 the lives
ana property or its patrons; that the
wages paid to the operators and signal
men are not large enough 10 secure the
services OF competent and reliable men.
We find that the practice Of closing
block signal stations fO- the day be-
tween the hours of ESQ and S O'Clock in
the evening is not conducive 10 the
safety OF ira ffic.
We recommend a more rigid inspec-
ton OF timepieces IN use by the opera

responsibility OF operating trains with

SENATORS KEEP
WEATHER EYES
ON HOME NEWS
Interest Now CenterS on
Work of State Leg
iSlatureS.

The news from home is occupying a
good share OF the time of Senator'S this
week. for in many States the Legisla-
lures are holding their eaucuses or
elections that Will determine who shall
hold the seats in tie upper chamber
for the next six years.
The expected happened in New
Hampshire yesterday, when Senator
Henry L. Burnham Was nominated by
Ihe Republican caucus. getting 1874
OF the 273 votes. The effort Of the
Chandler-Churchil opposition to or
ganize an effective opposition ia the
last days failed.
There has been much interest among
the Missouri valley statesmen lately
ia the South Dakota situation. The
opponents Of Senator Gamble tried, in
the last three weeks, 10 reopen effec-
uvely their fight on him. and a great
deal OF noise was made with appaT-
emily little effect. Tor in the legislative
caucus Gamble got every Republican
vote and was nominated.
Fight Was Effective.
Two days ago. when teegrams came
saying the caucus had ben postponed
there was an impression that this
might be 10 the disadvantage OF Gam
bic, but at the later date he lined up
every voc for himself The opposition
tried 10 organize around Coe /. Craw-
ford, gOVernor-elect, and substitute
him Tor Gamble. but failed. There is
said TO have ben a double motive for
this. First 10 defeat Gamble; and.
second, to take care Of Crawford, who
