 Shelter Trust Road.
 Washington,-Although there is no veflt1catlon, at the department of jus tlce of the intention of the government to proceed against the smelter trust there is good deal of talk about the motive" which was brought to bear against the concern in the investiga- ton by the bureau of corporations
 There is no doubt entertained here that if the Guggenheim railroad in Alaska Is finished 10 the extent con- ten piatea-4OO miles into the interior and across the tracks of the Bruners- the power of the tr,.st will be increased by millions of dollars, and competition there al else where will be throttled

The first game in the schedule of the
Twilight league was played last even

teams. The game was one'sided af-
fair, the Beaconites scoring on hits
made off of Wren" Smiths delivery,
coupled with misplays by the mail car
riers. In spite Of superiority of the
Beacon team some brilliant plays were
made on both sides Smith for the
Postoffice had the best of the pitching
argument in strike outs, making elev-
en- men bite the dust on MS balls. AL
len for Beacon also pitched good
game, allowing Uncle Sans men only
four hits. The fielding honors went
to Deaver, first basemaa for the Bea-
conites, who made couple of grand
stand catches. Secretary Van Dis
held the Indicator and no kick from
either side was made on his decisions.

NO COMPETITION.
Justices Of the Peace Will Soon be on
a Salary.

Beginning July l justices OF the
peace in Oskaloosa become salaried
officers drawing their pay through the
county supervisors. Under the new
law passed by the last legislature
placing justices of the peace on a sal,
airy no attempt IL made to regulate
their duties or prescribe hours at
which they must be ia their Offices.
It has been discovered, In fact that
there is no provision in the law re
qulring them to even maintain an Of
flee. Under the present system the
fees nave been the compensation for
services and the justice has fixed Of
fee hours depending on the chance
OF the business turning up. Under
the new system there will be no COM
petition for business and an interest
ing question may arise as to the
amount of time justice must put In
to draw mis- moathly stipend from the
county.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Disposition Of Various Matters by
Judge and Jury.

A short delay was caused in the
drawing of the jury for the trial of
the Hamilton Mcneil damage suit,
which was opened this morning by the
filing Of motion by the counsel for
the plaintiff. The controversy arose
in regard to the amendment to the
answer of the defendant which was
filed five days ago, and which intro.
duced flto the scope of the case many
new points of law and testimony,
The contention of the plaintiff was
that the case had been assigned fot
trial several times and two or three
different times during this present
term of court, and that the defense
had had plenty of time to prepare
their answer to the petition before
the time of the late filing Of the
amendment, and they argued that
while it would be no error of the
court to allow the amendment to re
main as part of the petition. yet the
fact that it introduced many new is
sues into the case for which the plain
tiff had not been given sufficient time
to prepare, was just cause for the
courts sustaining their motion to
strike the same from the petition
The motion, however, was overruled
by Judge Clements on condition that
the defendant be compelled to pay the
costs of the suit up to the present
time.
The arguments of the several attor
neys coupled the greater part Of the
morning and the jurymel were excus
ed until 1870 this afternoon.
Case Is Again Postponed.
When court convened this Afternoon
new motion was flied by the coua
sci for the plaintiff Tor continuance
of the case until the October term OF
court and the motion wa sustained
The case will now be carried over unit

The reasons Tor continuance brought
