The Hickman courier. [volume] (Hickman, Ky.) 1859-current, 1908-08-13

This week we begin giving figures
in the piano contest. According to
our record, Miss Dosia Carpenter is
in the lead, " 18th Miss Virginia Roys-
ter. second Miss Ivy DeBow. third.
1t might be well enough to state
just here that we depend solely on
keeping a record of the votes cast,
as they are put into the box, for the
figures given each week. If I'VE
should fail to record any, it would
make slight error, but in the final
count it will be straight.
1t is noticeable that coupons repre-
senting hundreds of votes have been
taken from the Office to be voted
later and in each instance, the SUBJ
scriber has called for them. For
whom they will be voted, remains
yet to be seen.
Following is the standing of the
contestants up to Saturday night;
The Hickman courier. [volume] (Hickman, Ky.) 1859-current, 1908-08-13

Even at this date, the interest
taken in the contest exceeds our ex-
pectation-and we have been in sew
eral contests. From week to week
il will become more interesting.
Remember. ladies', to solicit the
aid of your friends-ths sooner the
better. Somebody is going to get
the piano, and it is certainly worth
an effort on your part.

Public School Notes.

The eighth A grade state examina-
tions are to be held May 81 and %.
The students are all studying hard to
pass this examination as it means
much to them. If they pass in this
exam. they may enter the high school
next year.
Miss Wizard, teacher of the eighth
grade, was i'll Tuesday, Miss Wilson
taking her place. Sadie LAWN, of the
eighth A grade. has been out of school
this week on account of case of the
mumps.
Seth Balsinger entered school Thurs
day. Seth attended school here before
Chistmas, but about that time left
school. He entered the eighth B
grade.
Ernest Burnett was absent from
school during the latter part of the
week.
If new flag cannot be obtained for
the school building, at least the re-
manning part of the old one should be
removed. The building would look
better without any flag at all than
what is now en- the pole.
A baseball game is to be played be-
tween the boys of the two schools of
this place. Of course none of the boys
on the high school team can play, all
being from the 9Th grade and down.
1t has been strongly urged by the
teachers of the various grades that
their pupils hear Judge Lindsey's lee
ture during institute week. Judge
Lindsey is the Denver boys friend.
His lecture is entitled "The Misfor-
tunes of Mickey"
Prof. Kimbrough is selling "stand-

Good Dope for Squirrels.

One of our farmer friends requests
that we publish the following recipe
for making squirrel poison, the mix
ture being the same as that suggested
by J. M. Martin.
To one and one half gallons of water
add one fourth pound of cyanide of
potassium, boiling in five gallon can
until dissolved; then stir in an ounce
of pulverized sulphate of strychnine
pour this over one and one half gallons
of oats and one half gallon wheat,
with one pound of salt, and let stand
on the stove till the grain has absorbed
all the moisture; add five drops oil of
rhodium and five drops oil of onise,
and the mixture is ready for use.

ORCHESTRa DI0uDaY
Great Organization of Sixty-Four
Members at College Monday
Afternoon.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra,
which will play at the College gym
nasium Monday afternoon is composed
of sixty-four musicians. Both Pullman
and out of town people realize that
this is the most important musical
event ever held in this section, and the
seats are selling very rapidly. One
hundred and fifty tickets have been sold
to Moscow people alone. Colfax, Pa
louise and other neighboring towns will
send large delegations. The seats are
being sold at a lower price than in any
city that the Orchestra visits, as it is
not the desire of the college to make
more than expenses on the attraction.
The concert will begin at :15 sharp
on Monday afternoon. Tickets are
now on sale at the College Book Store.
or may be procured at the door.

Agent Brownson, of the potlatch
Lumber company, was arrested on a
warrant sworn out in the police court
Thursday charging him with violation
of the ordinance passed by the city
last summer making it misdemeanor
to sell less than cord of wood for a
cord, or less than 1000 pounds of coal
for a ton.
The complaining witness was John
W. Mathews, and the case was heard
at the city hall yesterday at ten o'clock.
Mr.. Mathews testified that ne had or
dered cord of wood from the company
on March 25th, and had been charged
for and had paid for a cord, but that
not more than three-quarters of cord
had been delivered. Other witnesses
testified to the measuring of the wood

about one quarter. Mr.. Brownson, in
his own behalf, testified that he had
not personally received Mr.. Mathews
order, nor had he filled it, and knew
nothing of the details of the sale, the
transaction, having been made with
other employees of the company.
Justice Wenham took the case under
advisement till one o'clock, when he
rendered a judgment of guilty. and
assessed a fine of $25 and costs against
the defendant.
Thos. Neill, attorney for Mr.. Brown
son, at once gave notice of appeal,
and the appeal bond was fixed at $3.50,
cash bond being put up. 1t is said
that other cases of a like nature will
be brought against the Potlatch COM
pany, other parties having grievances
of short measure against them.

Meets Death by Falling from
Engine Cab.

Engineer Perkins. who has been
running engine No. SO on the Kendrick
hill for several days, fell from his cab
at the bridge about two miles below
Troy Sunday evening and sustained in
juries from which he died shortly after
being taken to Troy. In what manner
the accident came about is not known,
and his absence from the cab was not
noticed until the train approached
Clydes Spur, when Fireman W. j..
Hines, noticing the speeding of the
engine, stepped across to the engineer s
side of the cab and found it empty.
Hines stopped the engine and noti-
fled the crew. Perkins was discovered
at the side of the track about half
mile back.
The only persons on the engine,
which was running without cars or
caboose, were the fireman and brake
man, A. Kenjoski, who were both sitt-
ing on the freman's side of the cab of
the engine. The last that either of
these men saw of Perkins was few
minuets prior to the occurrence of the
fatal accident. when Perkins stepped
to the tender of the engine for some
purpose.
From the evidence offered at the in
quest which was held in Moscow Mon
day morning it is supposed that Per-
kins lost his balance as he was return
ing to the cab and fell from the gang
way. The body when found was lying
in a doubled up position with the head
under the breast. An examination of
the body by DR.. Carithers after it was
taken to Moscow revealed the fact
that the neck had been broken presum-
ably from the fall. No serious bruises
other than that were found.
The jury summoned to inquire into
the causes of death of Perkins found
that the deceased "H. C. Perkins
came to his death by accidentally fall
ing from engine No. So running from
Troy toward Kendrick on the 29th of
March on the Northern Pacific rail-
way"

OBJECTIONS uaDE TO
gssESSJlEuT ROLL
Councitmen Listen to Objections
Made by Property Owners to
Sewer Assessment.

Thursday nights session of the city
council was largely taken up by the
consideration of remonstrances to the
assessment as made against the bene-
fed property for the cost of the re-
Gently constructed park sewer. Those
filing formal objections were M M.
Damman, F. H. Newell, Geo. Ewing,
A. Walk, P. w. Lawrence, Charlotte
Malotte, Pullman Development Co..
Mrs. L. V. Williams and A. Reaney.
The objections were largely because
the property assessed could not be
connected with the sewer without
crossing private property. No action
was taken upon the remonstrances, but
special meeting was called for next
Thursday evening, when final disposi-
ion of the assessment will be made.
DR.. Harris, president of the Com
mercial Club, asked permission to have
the band stand erected on the corner of
Main and Alder streets, and after some
weak hearted objections by Councilmen
Staley and Mcguire, the permit was
unanimously given.
The appointments of j. M. Klem-
gard and Prof. W. j. Roberts, as
members of the park commission. were
approved.

Commission to Hear Complaints.

Commission to Hear Complaints.
Commencing some time in the latter
part of June or early in July the state
railroad commissioners will begin hold
ing hearings on the accumulated COM
plants that have been filed with the
commission.
The hearings will include complaints
against the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific railroads from all
parts of the state. The commission
will take up the complaints and hold
hearings in the cities from which they
were made. the first being held in
Rochester. This is complaint against
the station facilities of the road at that
place. Outlook, small station near
Sunnyside, will next be visited. and
the complaint filed against the railroad
because of lack of station facilities
at that place will be given a hearing.
At Ritzville the commission will
pursue the hearing on the grain rate.
Other places from which complaints
have been made are Bossburg. Espan-
ola, Waukon, Irbe. Winchester. NAL
aga and Wenatchee.
The commission will then take up
the matter of rates on logs at Seattle.
The commission has not fixed the exact
date at which this hearing will begin,
but it will commence Immediately
after the completion of the findings of
the commission on the cost and value
of the railroads within the state, and
after the commission has made divis-
ion between the state and interstate
valuations.
The fact that Judge Chadwick. of
Whitman county, and Judge O. V.
Linn, of Thurston county, have upheld
the constitutionality of the commission
law, will be used by the commission
at the present time as an assumption
that the courts will sustain the consti-
tutionality of the act, and it will pro-
ceed with the hearings as to the rates
regardless of Judge Hanford's recent
decision.
The commission will make no order
fixing rates until after the supreme
court has passed upon the question of
the constitutionality of the commission
laws. After the decision of the court
the commission will not delay in max
ing and fixing rates.
If the state court should hold the law
unconstitutional, Governor Mead al
ready has signified his intention of
calling special session of the legisla-
ture to submit to it an amendment of
the state constitution investing the rail
road commission with authority to
make rates. The supreme court de-
cision must be rendered early in the
summer in this case, as it will take, &c
days after the session has been called
and the amendment passed, before it
can be submitted to the people of the
state for ratification.

George Ingalls,, traffic manager of the
New York Central lines. which run
through Lake county, declares that the
New York Central lines will not be
caught mapping, and that cars are be-
ing placed in shape as rapidly as pos
sible. All car shops, he says, have
been working on full time with an am
pie force of men since July l.
Notwithstanding the assurances of
Mr. ingalls, and other railroad men,
| however, members of the Illinois Man
ufacturers' association still feel that a
serious ear shortage is imminent and
| that SO much equipment has been al
lowed to go without repair during the
dull period that the railroads will not
be ready for return of prosperity.
| Fred w Upham. president of the as
| ISOLATION, was instructed last week to
| take the matter up with the railroads,
and he intends to make personal visits

cago railroads. Two years ago the as
| ISOLATION officers endeavored to i'm
press upon the railroads the danger of
| a car famine but at that time, they
| say, their warning went for naught.
| Letter from Mr.. Ingalls,.
Mr.. Ingalls, letter is as follows:
Il have seen several notices in the
! papers to the effect that shippers in
| this community seem to be disturbed
| about the railroads not repairing their
equipment 1 am further advised by
some members of your association that
some action by your body toward in
| terviewing the railroads upon this mat
ter was taken.
| IT wish to advise you that all of our
car repair shops were put on full time
on July /, and have been on full time
| since then, and, Furthermore, the forces
have been increased somewhat. Our
| operating department advises me that
our cars are being placed in better
shape than they have been for years
| THIS IS true with ISspSCi
