Roads New Mileage Book

The new mileage books
adopted by railroads in the ter
ritory embraced by the West
ern Passenger association will
be issued today. These books
are of two kinds, one for use on
individual lines for 1000 miles
and the other useable for 1000
miles on any of the lines in the
territory. They are both on
the basis of 2 cents a mile, good
for bearer. The 1,O00-mile
book may be offered in pay
for any number in a party,
while the 2,O00-mile book will
be good for bearer only, al
though the latter is transfer
abe in so far as distinct trips
are concerned.
In North Dakota, where the
rate is 3 cents a mile, there will
be detached one and one-half
coupons for each mile. Since
the Milwaukee road is the only
road in the association which
has mileage in North Dakota
the book will serve little pur-
pose in that state.
In South Dakota east of the
Missouri river and in Upper
Michigan and in Wisconsin on
the Wisconsin and Michigan
road there will be detached for
each mile and one-quarter cou-
pons, representing the value q
cents. Sioux City Journal.

Manawa Liquor Case Decided

Judge Green of the district
court handed down his decision
yesterday in the suit brought
by G. w. Atwood and other
directors of the Council Bluffs
Fish and Game Protective
association against the Inter
state Amusement company, the
street railway company and
others to restrain the sale of
liquor within the enclosure at
Lake Manawa. A permanent
injunction is granted against
7. j. O'Brien, r. f. O'Brien,
William Byrne and the street
railway company. The writ of
abatement against the premises
asked for by the petitioners is
denied, as it was shown that
the nuisance complained of
had been abated before the
trial of the suit. In other
words, the sale of liquor within
the enclosure at the lake resort
had been stopped before the
suit came to trial. The in
junction is not against the
buildings. Council Bluffs Bee.
