JAIL TERMS OMITTED.
freight Broker and His Clerk Fined
for Rebatina. NJ.

Kansas City, Jan. George L.
Thomas, freight broker of New York
city, and l.. B. Taggart. his clerk,
pleaded guilty in the United States
district court here to the charge of
conspiring to pay rebates to shippers.
Judge Smith Mcpherson then fined
Thomas $1,000 and Taggart $4,000,
emitting jail sentences previously as
sessed. Both defendants We're in
court and after sentence was passed
checks covering the fines were ten
dered and accepted by the Judge.
+ Thus ends the case against these
men. The Jail sentence, which was
omitted, was the first sentence of i'm
pris Onment ever passed for rebat1ng.
Thomas and Taggart were tried and
ctav1cted a year ago and were given
jail sentences in addition to fines. An
appeal was taken and new trial
granted on technicality. When the
second trial of the case was called the
defendants pleaded guilty and Judge
Mcpherson in passing sentence i'm
posed the fines mentioned and omit
teQ lue JUL sentences, saying ne was
convinced the men were only the
"cat's paws" of the railroads.
Judge Mcpherson took occasion to
say that he believed the firms that
accepted the rebates were as guilty
as the defendants and the railroads
and that he had never been able to
understand why they had not been in
dicted by the grand jury. He would
have liked, he said, to have had the
members of these firms before him
with power to pass sentence upon
them. ''The railroads." declared Judge
Mcpherson, "are bounded to death
with rebate seekers. They are not
entirely to blame for all the rebating
that has been DONE"

What a Woman Did.

There is much to be said against the
New York cabby, but there are fire.
Quent occasions when one is really de-
serving Of sympathy. The other day a
cabby drove well dressed and re-
fined looking woman to a Broadway
restaurant, where she ordered an ex.
pensive lunch and then told the waiter
that she had lost her purse, but that
her cab was waiting and if he would
send boy with her she would go
home for the money. The boy entered
the cab with her, and she directed the
cabby to drive to a Sixth avenue de-
partment store. When they arrived
she left the boy in the cab, entered the
store to make an imaginary purchase
and went out at the opposite entrance
In the hope of getting information
about his departed fare, cabby drove
back to the restaurant, accompanied
by the brass buttoned boy, whom he
blackguarded all the way for letting
the woman escape. The restaurant
people discharged the lad for the same
reason, and the driver cried quits

SUNDAY Laws of AuatraIia.


Melbourne, Australia, has some laws
which are wonders. One Of them pro-
hibits the opening of any cafe on Sun
day before II o'clock in the morning,
and the unwary American who may
not know this finds himself suddenly
high and dry without a thing to eat
till IL. So he soon learns, If he's in
lodgings, to sleep till II and then for
age forth.
Another nice thing that contributes
to the hilarity Of the Sundays here
and the gayety Of nations generally
Is that there are no street cars running
till after 2 O'clock on Sundays. All
the steam roads bring thousands Of
people into the city, but they have to
walk once they are inside the city
limits.
And if you buy bakers cakes and
pies to be taken away from the prem
Uses you may only buy them between
and 3 Sunday afternoons. And you
may not invite friends to dinner with
you in Sydney, which is in New South
Wales and under different Jurisdiction,
If you are living in hotel, because
In some mysterious way, which is not
at all clear, you are breaking the Sun
day law.-New York World.

The Shoulder Strap.

If it were possible to compile such
data it would be extremely interesting
to know to what extent women have
Influenced the uniforms and equip.
ment of their fighting states. A little
instance in point is the steel curb
shoulder strap of the British cavalry.
When Sir George Luck was setting
out for Kandahar during the Afghan
operations Lady Luck, knowing prob
ably something of the fighting methods
Of the tribesmen, whose four foot knife
can cut clean from shoulder to belt,
sewed couple of steel curb chains
under each Of the shoulder straps on
her husbands tunic. AS a protection
from sword cuts these proved so eff
fective that at the end of the campaign
Sir George made report in relation
thereto, with the result that they were
adopted as a permanent feature of the
cavalry uniform.-Harper's Weekly.

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
Second Mysterious Disappearance at
GAINESVILLE, Wis.

Second Mysterious Disappearance at
GAINESVILLE, Wis.
GAINESVILLE, Wis, Jan. 2 Thus far
no trace of Josephine Malone, the
dressmaker who mysteriously disap-
peared Wednesday night, has been dis
covered, despite the fact that her two
brothers have searched every foot of
the river bank from the Court street
bridge to the Mongorey dam. Aside
from her muff and a white fur which
belonged to her mother nothing has
been found and no reason can be as
signed for her disappearance. Miss
Malone was between forty and forty
five years of age and moved into the
city from farm seven miles north of
here several years ago. The last seen
of her was when she was leaving the
home of the Hayes family shortly
after o'clock, starting for home over
the Court street bridge.
Court street bridge is the one upon
which Madeline Odell Clayton is sup
posed to have met her death. That
she disappeared in the same mysteri-
GUS manner has given rise to a theory
that when her body is found foul play
will be discovered.
Later the body of Miss Malone was
found in the river.

IOWA EDlTREss PROPOSES
Asserts Leap Year prerogatlves in
t4er Last ISSUE

81 ; - ~ 8 ~
Des Moines, Jan. 2S.-Exasperated
over having lost a contest for the
county printing because she was a
woman Miss Elizabeth Soham, editor
of the Storm Lake Vidette, asserted
her leap year prerogatives this week
and in her current issue makes the
following proposal:
"A constant fight for what rightfully
belongs to her is wear and tear on
the nervous system of any woman
and we have come to the belief that
In order to stay In newspaper work
and maintain our health we will have
to marry some good printer who can
do the fighting and swearing for us.
1t Is leap year and this may be con-
sidered as a proposal by any one who
would be Qualified to fill the vacancy
SO evident in the Vidette Office
G. A. Craig, the bachelor editor of
the Lytton Star, believing that pro-
posal of marriage coming from such a
talented woman could not be turned
down, has written his acceptance. In
his paper he says: 20. .
I'VE believe we are eligible to fill
the vacancy which Sister Soham feels
exists in her print shop. But before
we would agree to take up Lizzie's
burdens she will have to show Gre
dentials as to her eligibility to the
vacancy which we have known existed
for some time at our wigwam. She
must know how to make pancakes, fry
ham and eggs and make good coffee;
she must have the staying qualities to
chase a soiled shirt up and down a
washboard until it becomes clean; she
must know how to darn socks and the
gable end Of our trousers, etc. If the
fair editress feels like filling a va
cancy for a vacancy being filed we
stand ready to close the deal"
