chairman of the meeting Mr.. Sharp
stein made a few remarks upon the re-
cessity Of voting it straight" and In
troduced Congressman Cushman.
In opening his address, which oc-
cupied almost two hours time. Mr..
Cushman first took occasion to COM
ment upon the beauty Of the thaater in
which he was privileged to address the
large audience. and recited a poem
which aptly applied Following his re-
citation he FASTENED to inform his
hearers that he was not in Walla Wal
Ia from personal motives. because this
county is not included in his congress
siOnal district, and assured the as
semblaga that they need feel no en-
barrassment so far as he was con-
cerned.
Not Abusive, but
Mr.. Cushman dealt at length with
national issues, and while he said he
wanted no one to leave the building
and say he was abusive. there was an
unveiled vein of satire and sarcasm in
his remarks about the democratic can
didate for president which left
strong impression that he was abu
sive. The speaker said he honored Mr..
Bryan; that he deemed him the most
brilliant ORATOR in the country; "but
can this country survive on four years
of Oratory?" he asked. In wishing Mr.
Bryan WELL Mr. Cushman In his mimi
table, dry humor, said he wished the
Nebraskan a most pleasant campaign
and hoped to see him safely returned
to the bosom of his family. "Mr. Bry
an hei said, ''is like a. swan sailing
gracefully on the placid waters of the
Lake; drawing ne-eighth OF an inch
Of water, and wholly unconscious of
the unterminable depths below"
Forgot Some Things.
Mr. Cushman dwelt considerable on
the issues Of 1896, and failed signally
to take up thel issues of the present
campaign He Iexterously avoided
mention of the guaranty Of bank de-
posits; said nothing whatever Of the
recent panic and neglected to explain
many things which voters Of this
county are looking for light upon
from republican standpoint.
Humorous Speaker.
Mr.. CuSdnman Is a man Of curious
appearance. tall, lank and bony, with a
retreating chin, and with a sparse
scattering Of hair covering his pro-
truding brow. His voice is high and
piping, and frequently gives one an
idea of Uncle Hiram" and his method
Of talking. But the dry, cracking hu-
NOR which the speaker injected into
his lengthy ulk kept the audience in
an excellent humor, and when he
compared the republican party to a
young and blushing maiden, holding
out her hand to the young voter, and
the democratic party to a frazzled old
dame. div orced, widowed and broken
hearted, of grass, hay or sod, nobody
knew which, he brought down the
house
He TOOL, considerable time in telling
Of the measures en1cted by the repub-
lican party, in an endeavor to prove
that 'he party is a friend of organized
labor, and dwelt upon the child-labor
law which is in effect in the District of
Columbia where there are practically
no fac.uries

Ten Others Injured by an Gxpiosion
in Mine.

workers were killed and ten others
were injured by a terrific explosion of
gas in the Williamstown colliery of
the Summit Branch Mining company

men lifting the gauze of his safety
lamp just after an explosion of shot
which brought down a large body of
coal.
The explosion shook the entire col
liery The work of rescue was begun
Immediately and when volunteers
were called for almost every man at
the workings offered his services,
which meant a hazardous trip into
the burning mine.
Near the foot of the shaft the in
jured were found, they having rushed
toward the entrance, only to fall over
uncons cious. All of the dead were
found a short distance from the shaft,
battered and bruised into an almost
unacceptable mass.

CANNOT SELL LIQUOR !.
Ruling Affecting Railroads Doing
Business in This State.
CUSTOM LONG IN PRACTICE
Attorney Generals Office Can Find No
Law Permitting Sale Of Liquor
on Buffet Cars.

It is unlawful for railway com.
panies to sell liquor in their dining or
buffet cars in this state, custom
which has long been in practice. This
is the opinion of the state attorney
generals Office, written by George w.
Peterson, assistant attorney general
The question was raised by N. E..
Peterson, county attorney at Albert
Lea.
The question of the right of the
railroads to sell liquor to their pat
rons has never before been presented
to the attorney general, but no per-
mission to conduct a retail business
can be found in the law and in the
absence Of that permission the act is
declared unlawful The decision will
affect nearly every railway line in
the state.

HELD TO Be ILLEGAL
Exchange Of Railroad Transpor=
tation for Advertising.
TEST CASE IN FEDERAL COURT
Government Wins First Round in Suit
to Prevent Carrying Out
of Contract.

Chicago, July 15.-"If 1t be lawful
to make the exchange of railroad
transportation for advertising then it
would be lawful to do the same in
every transaction and the railroad
business might lawfully become one
of barter and sale, limited only by the
demand
In decision handed down by Judge
c.. c. Kohlsaat in the United States
circuit court, from which the above is
quoted, the jurist enjoined the issu-
ance of transportation by the Chicago,
Indianapolis and Louisville Railway
company to the publishers of Mum
sey's magazine in exchange for adver-
tising
The decision was rendered in test
case in which the federal authorities
brought suit to prevent the carrying
out of contract entered into in jan
uary, 1907, between the railroad COM
pany and Frank A. Munsey & Co.
providing for the issuance of trip tick
Gus or mileage to the value OF $500 IN
consideration of certain advertising
space in the publications of the maya
zine company. The contract was al
legged to be violation of the Hep
burn law.
The petition charged that the ac-
ton of the railroad company in issu-
Ing such transportation constituted a
violation of the prohibition against the
acceptance of any compensation for
transportation greater or less or diff
ferent" from that named in the pub
lished rates. The railroad company
insisted that it received full money
value, based on schedule rates for the
mileage or tickets issued, and denied
that it was committing violation of
the law.
