Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1907-07-01
HAS QUEER PHASE
Operation of 2-Cent Rate Law
in illinois Develops Pecu-
liar Situation.
ONLY APPLIES IN THE STATE
Fare for Interstate Trip Will Still be
o. Three Cents, Except on River
Points on Burlington.

After Thursday Illinois. Iowa ami
Missouri will all have a , cent passcn-
ger fare law in effect. but if the trav-
eler wishes to get the benefit of this
rate he must purchase his ticket ONLY
between points within one state. The
only exception to this is in the case ~
the Burlington, which has made an on
ceptiOn to the interstate fare rule in
favor Of the points along the Mlssf+-
sippi in Iowa and Missouri and the
same in the order for Iowa and M:s-
souri, to towns in Illinois on the Mis-
sissippi.
Must Pay Three Cents.
Thus with the exception of the BU-
linStOn, the railroads continued TODAY
to charge the s. fare from Davenport
to Chicago. though the rate from Ro..',
Island is $3.35. The Burlington. under
the orders of the passenger depa..-
ment relative to river points. made 4
rate of $3.50 from Davenport to Chi
CagO.
y person going from Rock Island to
Burlington, for instance, must pay he
cent rate for the trip, though by go
ing to Davenport to purchase the :ia.
ket the , cent rate Will apply aft
July 1, when the Iowa law goes in.o
effect.
The reason for this condition is th,t
the state law applied only to the rate
of fare between two points within tn
boundaries of the state. and does no.

If it is unlawful for a bank de-
positor to draw out money on
a legal holiday, or for a judge to
issue a decree of divorce, is it
lawful for the County Clerk to
issue certificate authorizing the
parson to mate a couple who can't
wait until the bank holidays are
over?
This vexing question confront
ed Clerk Fields, of Multmonah,
last Tuesday, and he steeled his
heart against the seekers of nup-
tial bliss. But not for long.
Presently seven young men bore
in their pockets the States sane
ton of their desire to supply the
Nations military with new ma
terial for soldiers. should any be
needed.
Wise lawyers nodded approx
ingly, and so did Judge Cleland,
from his high scat in the Court
House.
As marriage was on earth be-
fore laws, banks. judges. County
Clerks, holidays, and even hard
times. il holds the right of pre-
cedcnce over all. When banks
crashed in '93. and there was
little to do to keep the stomach
fed and the back clad, the par
son was busy The fruits there-
of are now in school.
For in the days that were be-
fore the food they were eating
and drinking, marrying and Civ
ing in marriage, until the day
that Noah entered the ark.

SUES THE RAILROAD
Michael GOhGen Asks $4,000 Dam
ages From Baltimore 8 Ohio.
WAS PUT OFF PASSENGER TRAIN
Claims He Bought Ticket to Berke-
ley Springs, But Conductor Eject
ed Him at Cherry Run He
Walked Back Home.

Mr.. Michael Goheen, the well-known
contractor Of this city, who Is engaged
with Contractor Westenhaver on the
work of remodeling the court house
at Berkeley Springs, has filed a suit
in the Berkeley Circuit court against
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co,
claiming damages in the sum of $4,000
for being put off passenger train No.
/, on the evening of November 25,
last. Mr.. Goheen is represented by
Attorney Clarence &c. Martin.
1t appears that Mr.. Goheen purchase
ed ticket at this point for Berkeley
Springs on the evening OF November
%, and boarded train No. 1, leaving
here at Gil o'clock .. m. When the
train reached North Mountain the
conductor informed Mr.. Goheen that
he was at his station, and should get
off, The Martinsburg man stated that
he had purchased ticket to Berkeley
Springs, and proposed to go there. In
the meantime the train pulled out. At
Cherry Run the conductor informed
Mr.. Goheen that he must get off there,
and summoned the brakeman to help
eject the Martinsburg man from the
train. Mr.. Goheen resisted just
enough to cause the trainmen to use
force, then walked from the train with
out further protest. Finding no ac-
commodations at Cherry Run, Mr.. Co
heen was forced to walk back to Mar
tinsburg, a distance of about Is miles.
The suit was the result.
1t seems that some other man had
bought ticket for North Mountain
and failed to get OFF, and that the con-
ductor landed on Mr. Goheen as that
man. Attorney Martin, who filed the
suit at December rules, would say
nothing regarding 1t. The case will
come up in the Circuit court at the
next term, and promises to be inter-
esting.

NOW IS Time FOR SHOPPING
EARLY HOLIDAY BUYER GETS
THE BEST OF IT.
Martinsburg Merchants Are Prepar
ed to Susply All Your Wants
See Bargains In This Paper.

1t is doubtful if any city in this sec
ton can make a handsomer showing
in window decorations than are seer
in the business section.
A number of visitors from othe.
cities have been loud in praise of the
handsomely decorated windows.
They show a beautiful collection o.
holiday goods and announce that thes
are now ready for the holiday trade
The wise man and the woman hay,
learned from experience that it pays
to shop early; that there is no es-
cape from it, and by going early they
have a large variety of goods to seleci
from and avoid the scramble of tht
last days when the goods are all pick
ed over.
And don't fail to remember that oui
Martinsburg merchants sell any ano
everything that can be gotten via the
catalogue route at the same or lower
prices.

Growers al jamestown.
THIS STATE WON HIGHEST PRIZE
Awarded the Special Medal For Best
and Most Continuous Fruit Ex-
hibit-We Get and Silver
Bronze Medals Also.

West Virginia and Berkeley coun-
ty again scored heavily at a great
exposition, winning the highest hon
ors possible for state to win on its
fruit exhibition at the jamestown ex-
position.
While the announcement of the
awards at the jamestown exposition
has not been made public by the Off
cials, private information comes to
The Evening Journal to the effect that
West Virginia secured the special
award of gold medal for the best
continuous exhibit of fruit of any
state represented at the great exposi-
ton, while six other gold medals for
exhibits of fruit were also awarded to
this state.
or these six gold medals, two were
awarded to Berkeley county fruit grow
ers, one going to Postmaster Alex Clo-
han, of Martinsburg, and the other to
Mr.. H. H. Miller. of Berkeley county.
1t is also said that several silver
and bronze medals were also awarded
to other Berkeley county fruit grow
ers, but the names of the winners
could not be learned, except that of
DR., G. W. Daniels, of Gerrardstown,
who won bronze medal.
Mr.. s. s. Moore, of Elwell, secreta-
ry of the West Virginia State Horti-
cultural society, has the list of awards
in his possession, and this will be
made public next week.
Berkeley county has carried off
many handsome prizes for fruit at
the different meetings in which she
has competed, but it is doubtful if
any exhibit made by her growers has
been more uniformly successful than
that at jamestown.
