CONTRACT NOT GOOD
NEWSPAPER CANNOT PAY RAIL
ROAD FOR MILEAGE WITH
ADVERTISING.
United Press pispltcl.

Unlleu PreSS D1SpttcI.
Chicago, July 15.-Judge Kohlsaat
of the United States, Circuit. Court to-
day rendered his decision, declaring
illegal all contracts between newspa-
pers and railroads whereby the news
papers were to pay for railroad mile
age in advertising. The opinion was
rendered in a test case against the
Monon Route and sustains the Hep
burn Act. 1t also sustains the inter-
probation made by the interstate COM
merce commission. ...
The suit was brought by the district
attorney to enioin the fullfllment of
contracts between the railroad and
Munsey's magazine, by which the lat
ter was TO furnish advertising space
to the road in exchange for transpor-
tation. 1t was submitted to Judge
Kohlsaat on an admission of facts
and presentation of briefs and argu-
ment.
The government contended that the
exchange of advertising space for
transportation amounts to a discrim-
ination against the general travelling
public in that, according to the con
tentions, the value of advertising
space is not fixed as is that of money.
The railroad company took the posi-
tion that the interstate commerce
laws do not apply to an agreement
such as the one in question, claiming
that advertising has a sufficiently fixed
value to make it lawful considera-
tion for the issuance of transportation

Upon Which the Statue Of
Mahaska is to Stand
in the Park.


Oskaloosa will have new fire de-
partment building erected this year
and to that end all energies of the
council will now be exerted. The
plans will in the main follow those
made heretofore in that the new de-
end of the lots owned by the city at
the corner of Market and Second ave-
nue.. and will be part of the city
hall that will be constructed on the
other parts of the lot later on. 1t
will have frontage to the south. 1t
will have ample provisions for the
fire and ambulance or patrol appara-
tus and will contain the apartments
of the men and stables for the horses
land places for feed, ,~etc.
Some notifications will be made
from the plans made for the new fire
department three yours ago, bat the
ideas developed at that time are car
ried out in the main.
The council instructed the special
committee, appointed on the matter
some time ago, consisting of Colonel
u. H. Pickett, W. r. Campfield, Mayor
C. H. Ralston and City Solicitor C. C.
Oryis, to proceed with their plans and
make ready for the erection of the
building at as early a date as prac-
ticable.
Mr.. Pickett has been most active on
the committee. He has investigated
the fire company stations at Des
Moines, Marshalltown. Waterloo, and
Ottumwa and members of the COM
mittee have consulted with archi-
tects, operators and builders until
they are now pretty thoroughly con.
yinced of their position.
The funds for the fire department
are in the city treasury They were
considered and appropriated this
spring at the first annual meeting,
Hence the city has the funds with
which to proceed. The preliminary
steps will be. tpken in1asediaaly and
within short time operations will be
commenced.
The Statue OF Mahaska.
The contract for the furnishing of
the base upon which will be placed
the statue of "Mahaska," the gift to
the city of Mr.. ]. d. Edumundson, and
done by Sherry Fry, was awarded to
Lou Mccall. The price of the work
exclusive of the footing and the foun-
dation upon which it will rest is
$4,000.
Wires Go Under Ground.
The city solicitor has prepared an
ordinance providing for the placing
of telephone and telegraph wires in
the business heart of the city in un.
derground conduits, replacing the I'M
slightly poles which now carry the
business.
The ordinance was placed upon its
first reading.
The new ordinance is mainly for
the purpose of permitting the Home
Telephone company of Oskaloosa to
proceed with the work of placing its
wires beneath the surface There
will be no compelling clause for the
other companies now doing business
in the city, but when they desire to
do the same thing, as it is understood
they will do later, the ordinance wiz
be ample to accommodate their needs
and desires.
There was more business for the
council, but another extra session
could not well be provided for dur
ing the week, hence the business had
to lay over until the next regular meet
ing which will be held next Monday
evening.

LATER-Phillips died from the ef-
fects of drinking the acid and oil mix.
ture at eleven-thirty o'clock, in the
hospital room at the jail. He was not
conscious after he was picked up in
helpless condition, His lips had
been badly mashed by fall upon the
brick pavement as he pitched for
ward upon his face, and the effects of
the acid could not be clearly defined
at first, probably on account of the
olive oil in the mixture. The work
with the stomach pump was unavail-
ing, as the man had taken the poison
several hours before, and it's work was
well advanced when he attempted to
get breakfast at the Royal Cafe.
The physicians soon saw that the
man was in a serious condition and
everything possible to do was resort
ed to, but without success. Death
came to the relief of the sufferer a
couple of hours after being taken to
the Jail. The body was taken to the
McGregor undertaking apartments for
attention.

DIED OF THE POISON
JAMES PHILLIPS SUCCUMBS
ABOUT TWO HOURS AFTER
BEING FOUND.

James Phillips, who resides south of
town, was found in an alley about $3.50
O'Clock this morning, in an uncon-
scious condition. He had fallen and
was bleeding profusely from his lips,
which were cut and mashed The of.
|ficers had been looking for the man
about town in response to an appeal
from his wife, who thought something
must haxe happered 10 him. RhillinS
| left home about noon Tuesday to come
to the city, and he had about twenty
dollars in cash. He did not return to
mis- home last night, and his wife, fear.
ing foul play, instituted search for
him through the police. They ascer.
tanned that he had not passed the
night at any of the hotels in the city,
but he had been seen on the streets
early in the morning.
He was taken to the hospital room
at the Jail in a helpless condition Who'll
ly unconscious, and when searched a
bottle of carbolic acid mixed with
sweet oil was found on his clothes
The officers Immediately informed DR..
Windle, who came hurriedly and ap-
piled the stomach pump. A consider.
able quantity of the stuff was out of
the bottle, but it could not be ascer-
tanned whether or not the man had
swallowed it. The condition of the
tongue was not normal, but it might
not indicate an acid burn, as it was
not blistered.
Phillips procured the mixture at the
Green & Bentley Drug Store early in
the morning, stating that he had been
bitten by dog and wanted to dress
the irritated places. He seemed in
a perfectly normal state at that time
The man was in no condition to be
moved this morning and is receiving
attention at the hospital ward at the
Jail.
