A VERDICT of $4,000 which E. l..
Phillip of milwaukee secured recently
against McClure's magazine ought to
have Statutory effect upon the vendors
OF sensational literature. The result
cannot but have healthy reminder to
those who attack people in public print
that reckless misstatements have severe
penalties. In this case Mr.. Phillip was
greatly strengthened before the court
and jury by evidence that he had given
the magazine opportunity to retract.
Ray Stenuard Baker, who wrote the or
iginal libelous article charging that
Philip took rebates, was CRATER, ETC.,
visited Mr.. Philip later and was not
only permitted to examine the books,
but Mr.. Philip urged that they go to-
gether to the general offices OF any or all
of the railways supposed to be concern
ed, and also visit the state railway COM
missioner at Madison This offered
every opportunity to get accurate infor-
nation. Baker declined, and after spend
ing an afternoon on the books, instead
of a retraction, as Mr.. Phillip had been
led to expect, published what amounted
to a reiteration of the original charges
These cases have attracted wide atten-
ton.

Kitchell, a T. & P. brakeman liv-
ing on East 4th street, met with an
accident last night that anne near
resulting in his death. The family
was at supper when a lamp was
overturned and exploded. MI. K.
attempted to throw the lamp out of
doors, but it struck the facing and
broke. The oil spilled on the door
and set it afre. A tub of water
that happened to be near soon ex-
tinguished the flames and Kitchell
again turned his attention to the
lamp which was on the floor and
still burning. In picking up the
broken part he cut a cash in his
right hand, completely s~evering an
artery. Physicians were hastily
summoned, but the gentleman
came near bleeding to death be-
fore they arrived. Several stitch
es were taken to sew up the cut,
and it took some time to staunch
the flow of blood. Mr.. Kitchell
was able to be up this morning,
but is very weak from the loss of
blood"
Squire Kitchell tells us that his
girl will be here too soon for some

Game Preserve For Each County.

j. w Wheeler, State Game Com
missioner, hopes to interest the ILL.,
Inois Legislature in his plans to es-
tablish State game preserve in each
county. He thinks group of land
owners in each county could get to-
gether and agree to protect game
birds upon their tracts, prohibit hunt
ing thereon and also feed the birds
supplied by the game farm in Sanga-
mon County. 1t is desired to secure
a tract of not less than 1900 acres in
each county for these branch pre-
serves. The plan, it is said, has. been
worked successfully in California af-
ter a thorough trial, and it is believed
it will work just as well in Illinois.
Such protection and such propagation
will greatly assist the State game de-
partment in the efforts to restock the
fields and forests of Illinois with
quail, prairie chicken, pheasants and
other species of game. birds. - st.
