AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Washington, May IA decision

The case was that of the American
Grass Irvine company against the Chi
cago, ST. Paul. Minneapolis & Omaha
Railroad company, the Mutual Transit
company, the New York Central and
the Boston and Maine. The evidence
disclosed that the complainant made a
shipment of grass Irvine mating and
rugs from St Paul, Mimi to Boston
via Duluth over those carriers lines,
upon which it was charged a rate of
81 cents per 100 pounds. rms rate
was a combination of rail rate Of %
cents 10 Duluth, plus a lake and rail
rate OF SO cents from Duluth to Bos-
ton At the date of shipment lake and
rail joint through rates via Duluth
were not effective. but a rate via Lake
Michigan ports of As cents per 100
pounds and an all-rail joint through
rate of 49 cents were in force. The
commission holds that under the spe-
ciaI and peculiar circumstances dis
closed upon the record the sixty-two-
cent rate on such shipment was IN
reasonable and that the fOrty-hve-cent
rate in effect from St Paul to Boston
via Lake Michigan ports at the time

FOR A QUARTER OF a CENTURY
III. c. Gardiner Has Been Rock Island
Section Foreman

Broughton. Kan, May 17.-Thfs lit
tie Clay county town is situated in the
Republican river valley. and is sur
rounded by as independent farmers as
any country can boast Of Many of
them have modern homes and roomy
barns and sheds where the farm i'm
pIements are laid by after the years
work is over, instead of leaving them
out in the fields where the last days
work was done Among these many
homes a visit to that of Martin Bauers
is worth the time. He feeds and ships
from 35 carloads and upwards of cattle
annually, and it is poor day when
his stock fails to touch the top of the
market He has all the modern faciIf-
ties for feeding and handling his stock,
besides he has an elevator and mill
combined at his home The same is
true of many other farmers tributary
to Broughton, perhaps not on SO ex-
tensive scale as that of Mr. Bauers.
Broughton has both the Union Pa
cffic and Rock Island roads Neither
has ever done the town any good so

COURT EXPENSES.

I'm our last issue we referred L
a circular which John Brett. OF
Jasper. has issued for campaign
purposes in which he gives an al
legged comparison of the expense:
lof Judge Ely with the expense:
lof Judge Welborn. AS we stated
last week Mr.. Brett did not show
the people that Judge Ely held
twice as much court as Judge
lWelborn. There is something
more Judge Ely has tried lots
lof cases brought 10 Pike county
and Dubois on change of venue
from other counties far more
than Judge Wclhorn ever tried
NoW included in the expenses
.of Judge Ely'S court for each
year In Mr.. Brett 5 circular are
these expenses. He don't show
L ne people that the money and
expense made By trying cases
brought to Pike county and Du-
bois on change of venue are af-
forwards paid back to Pike and
Dubois counties by the counties
from which the cases are brought
into Pike and Dubois. Since
Judge Ely has been on the bench
other counties have paid back to
Pike county. the sum OF over
- 900 for the costs of eases tried
in Pike county on change OF Ven
ue from other counties. Now in
Mr.. Bretz's circular in showing
Judge Ely's expenses since he
has been on the bench he counted
in this sum of 5000 and over,
which was made, as stated, by
cases tried in Pike. On change Of
venue from other counties. Now
this sum of over IS. 900 was after
wards paid back to Pike county
by the counties from which these
cases were brought on change of
venue. In other words Pike Co
got that money back. Did Mr..
Brett deduct this sum of over
s. 600 from Judge Ely'S eX-
Denses? No. He did not. Why
iidn't he? The reader can see.
Tor himself why he didn't.
To be JUST would be to show
o the people that over 5000 Of
he expense which he charges
Judge Ely had made for Pike
county. was afterwards paid
pack to Pike County.

From the Ey-c1nnlniCale1 pe1a
gOguG Of Boone Up.

Ina recent issue of the COURIER
was statement concerning a
Boone tip, Dubois CO.. pedagoguC
who lost his job because he tend
cd bar two and ohe-half days for
Hemer krodle at Portersyille
As many of my friends know that
| am always ready to help or as
sist any who might wish my ser
vice. In the case OF tending bar
| considered il a matter of use
fulness on my part and also will
ingneSS to work at anything in
order TO curtail expenses
A question might be PROFOUND
ed to the reader which runs like
this: Who is the more virtuouS,
moral. industrious, or useful, he
who sits all summer in his coy
corner with scarcely enough en-
ergy to attend to the necessaries
of life or one who is useful to
mankind?
In a matter of tending bar
there is evil influence no doubt,
but what would my influence
amount to When parents send
their children to the saloon after
4 pail of beer or a vial of whiskey?
In a matter of tracking the
law no one will object. but APP
plying it in one particular in
stance in Dubois CO.. is a unique
occurrence. il tending bar is
against the lag for pedagogue,
the pedagoAGc referred to was
ignorant OF the fact. but ignor-
ance of the law excuses no one.
There is an inconsistency in our
laws. for instance, if the state of
Indiana grants a man a license
to sell spurious, vinous and malt
liquors. 1t is considered a legiti-
mate business isn't it? Why
then is a man who sells it con
sidered immoral.
Sometimes people have their
hobbies and | think this is one of
the hobbies of the state and.
county superintendent. or do
they aim to exercise their pre-
negatives?
Oh, parents, if my influence Isl
of so much weight what of the
parents who take their boys and
girls, | must say. to the saloon
and drink with them or keep a
half barrel in their homes?
In conclusion | will say be con-
sistent Mr.. County Superintend-
emf if you aim to track the law to
