the appointment of a receiver.
The officers of the company,
having become advised of the
intended application were
also represented in the person
of W. G. Howie of this city.
After hearing the application
and the arguments of the at
torneys thereon, Judge Walters
denied the plaintiff his receiver
and dismissed the foreclosure
on the ground that the plaintiff
had failed to give the defend
ants the customary five days
notice of his intention to fore
close as required by the statute.
Immediately after this de-
cision, the plaintiff, by his at
torney, gave the notice as re-
quired by statute and it is there
fore expected that in the near
future the application for a re-
ceiyer will be renewed, but
with what result few venture
to predict.

which injunctions would not is
sue if no industrial dispute
were involved.
Mr.. Taft points out that this
declaration seems to have been
loosely drawn with the purpose
of rendering it susceptible to
one Interpretation by one set Of
men and to diametrically oppo-
site Interpretation by another.
It does not aver that injunctions
should not issue in industrial
disputes, but only that they
should not issue because they
are industrial disputes and yet
those responsible for the dec
laration must have known that
no one ever maintained that the
fact that the dispute was indus
trial gave any basis for issuing
an injunction thereto"
This severe indictment is en-
tirely fair. Mr.. Bryan is a
lawyer. He has given long
consideration to this question
of injunction and every SEN
tence of the Democratic plat
form was either of his own
writing or adopted by the plat

FEDERAL REMOVALS.

An echo of the removal from
office ofUnited States District
Attorney Ruick and United
States Marshal Rounds is heard
from Idaho Falls. One OF the
papers there that resented the
summary action of the admin
istration in Washington also
took Senator Hepburn and
Congressman French to task
for not making an effort to save
the scalps Of the offending Of
ficials. This called forth a
communication to the editor of
that paper from Senator Borah
who said, in part:
| do not care to further tres
pass upon the space IN your
paper but will say in conclusion,
to the people Of this state, that
whatever criticism is to be
made so far as the delegation
in congress is concerned for
the dismissal of Mr.. Rounds
should be charged to me in
dividually and exclusively and
no part Of it should fall upon
Senator Hepburn or Mr.. French.
This. is the clean truth of the
matter and think it my duty
to state it in justice to my col
league and Mr.. French.
If there has been any doubt
entertained as to the identity
Of the person responsible for
the Rounds removal, or the dis
missal of Ruick, the senator's
declaration should clear the
matter up. He alone, he says,
Is responsible for their having
been kicked out. Reading be-
tween the lines, too, there is no
trace Of regret discovered.
Everything is made perfectly
clear excepting the implied
necessity for defending Mr..
Hepburn and Mr.. French.

ATTACKED BY GRIPPE Epidemic

PITTSBURG. Jan 2.-M hat is
said to be the worst epidemic of sick
ness since 1889 is being experienced
in Pittsburg and physicians estimate
that thousands OF persons are pros
trated by pneumonia. typhoid fever
and especially the grip. Throughout
the ETY. probably esery home is af-
fected in some manner and scarcity
OF employees in the large Office build
ings is seriously felt.
The Pittsburg Railroad company is
having difficulty in manning its ears
on account of the conductors and mo-
tormen being laid up with the grip.
City Physician Booth says the pres
ent epidemic of grip exceeds in scope
and severity all but that of 1889 and
may yet break that record. He be-
lieves that the germs may have orig
mated far from here. In 1889 the
malady's start was traced back
through Europe to Asia and finally To-
Gated in England.

In Guesses at Weight of Biggest
Beef Ever Killed In State. Mrs.
StaiIey Wins.

Beyond ali doubt the largest beef
ever killed in the state was that
which hung in front of the market OF

days. II was weighed yesterday aft

judges and outstripped by slightly 20
pounds the next biggest one. which
previously held the record. Thirteen

pounds WAS what the monster tipped

The last contest held here evident
~ gave the local guessers a good idea
of the weight OF beef on the hook,
as several guessed within few
pounds of the correct number. The
winner was Mrs. Stailey, with total
of 1,379. The following were within
few pounds of the correct total:
Jack Rootie. 1885; George 2. Anand,
.390; c. Wheeler, 1890; Otto
Herman. 1878. The lowest guess
was registered by Miss Carrie Riepe,

i five persons made guess and gave

churches of the city The resulting
money was turned over to the Cath

of the judges.
