He "OVERDREW"
HIS BANK ACCNUNT
tFrom Thursdays Dally)

A chance customer at the Famous
late yesterday afternoon who gave
his name as j, IL. or j. f. Williams,
gave In payment On small purchase
OF merchandise Ia check Tor $50,
Manager sam lsaacs, who had
watched the customer closely, went
TO the cashiers desk and after au-
thorlzlng the payment OF the check
sent man to follow the stranger
as he left the store.
Then a phone message to the bank
on which the check was drawn dis
closed the fact that the fellow had
drawn out his entire balance amount
ing to something over $40 just before
the bank closed for the Afternoon
The check which he had presented
in the Famous was OF course worth
less at the bank,
This started lively chase after
the customer who was finally over
hauled at the union station waiting
to board one OF the outbound trains.
When confronted by the store men
he quickly returned the $40 for the
merchandise and cash which he got
at the Famous, and then protested
that ne had SIMPLY overlooked the
fact that his balance at the bank
was not large enough to cover his
check. or this matter the store men
refused TO judge and the man was
turned over TO the officers for a
further examination OF his case.

EYLING SWITCH
KILLS TWO HORSES
(From Thursdays Daily.)


A cut of four freight cars coming
from flying switch struck and
killed the team OF horses attached
to Wells-Fargo express wagon driv-
en- by C. j. Yates At the Buchanan
street crossing yesterday evening. BY
the narrowest margin, the driver
escaped serious injury but the horses
we're killed instantly.
At the crossing over Buchanan
street the Rock Island has several
tracks and on the track which the
express wagon was approaching cut
of cars was standing so as to hide
the other track from view. Further
up The track an engine was at work
switching and the driver saw it slow
down on the track he was approach
ing so he hurried to cross, But the
engine had Just made a flying switch
and turned four cars loose on the
other track. Just as the team got
on the second track, this cut OF cars
crashed full into them. The necks
OF both the horses were broken by
the blow and they we're thrown COM
pletely from the track. Yates was
thrown from the wagon but beyond
slight bruises he escaped injury.
Flying switches such as caused the
accident yesterday evening are dis
couraged by both statute laws and
rules OF the companies but train
crews make use Of them in order
OF save time Usually however, they
are not used outside the yards proper
or across streets.
The railroad company settled in
full yesterday with the express com
pany by the payment Of $3.50 for
the damage done,

Convention Travel.

The service from Galveston
through Dallas and Fort Worth to
Denver would make strong bid for
the summer tourist business during
the hot months and in the winter
would probably be the great highway
oftravel from the Northwest to the
South and Southeast,
It is further expected that this
train over the Yoakum line will be
selected by the southern delegations
to the Denver Democratic convention
In July.
This train will pass over what is
called the short line mileage be-
tween Denver and Galveston. The
route, as will be seen by reference
to tho map is almost as straight as
the proverbial crow flies, and is
many miles shorter than any other
line between these two points, The
exact distance Is 1875 miles, divided
as follows: Galveston to Fort Worth
1922 miles, and Fort Worth to Denver
500 miles. The time required to
complete this journey would be
about two days and two nights.

For Tourist Traffic.

II is obvious that the passenger
departments OF the Trinity e. Bra
EOS valley Rock Island, Fort Worth
g. Denver and Colorado & Southern
desire to include Dallas and Waxa-
hachie, on the route on account Of
the great amount OF tourist traffic
that comes out OF these cities.
Indications now are that this SER
vice will be inaugurated within sixty
days, or just as soon as proper sched-
ues can be made out and advertised.
For the first few weeks, perhaps,
only a sleeper and a day coach will
be carried from Galveston to Denver,
but when the summer tourist season
opens up this will be increased 10 a
full train handsomely appointed and
superbly equipped. This Gulf to
Rockies train will eventually rival
the great overland limiteds. the

CONGRESS APPROPRIATIONS.

The immense appropriations OF the
session OF Congress just adjourned mark
the progress OF the nation In every d.
rectlon A few years ago we had the
billion dollar Congress-" but that rec
| ord is now rather low. We are rapidly
advancing toward the two billion dol
lar mark. And there seems to be no
remedy The expenses of the govern
ment are growing. and there can be no
objection, as long as the ability of tho
people to meet the expenses increases
IN proportion TO the increased cost of
government.
1t Is somewhat strange, though. that
the cost of our military establishment
has become enormous, though there Is
not war cloud on the horizon.
We now pay, for the army. $685. 3S2, 247;
for fortihcations. s93l7,145. for the mill
tary academy. Ssi5.634; for the navy,
sl22, 662, 4S5, and for pensions. 163O53,O0O,
making total OF 1891, 26O51t. This does
not however. include the interest on
the national debt incurred for war pur-
poses. Past wars and present military
establishments cost us not less than,
in round numbers. $500, 100000 annually.
BY way Of comparison. for the fur
therance of the interests OF agriculture
we pay 1879 1O6; for the Legislative.
executive and judicial departments. $780,
ss3.s2l: for the postoffice service. s222,-
962.392 The military expenses, in
time of profound peace, are higher than
any other. Is this not an anomaly
Is II not high time for this nation to
consider the great problem OF turning
swords into plowshares? IL people
is to continue to prosper, it must be in
a position to spend more on agriculture
and transportation than on war estab-
llshments. 1t must pay more attention
to production that destruction. 1t must
have money for schools and for the en-
enlargement OF the arts. 1t must give
it's laborers-its great army of produce
ers-an equal chance with its fighters.

THE PROOFS ARE NUMEROUS.


The daily spokesman for the anti
Church demagogues vehemently denies
our assertion that the assault upon
Senator Smoot was but a preliminary
to a general attack upon the rights OF
Church members to hold any office, or
even to vote. But that denial counts
for nothing against the proofs they,
themselves, have furnished to the con-
trary.
In the first place, the charges
against Senator Smoot were so formu-
lated that, if they had been sustained
by the Senate they would necessarily
have resulted in the general disfran-
chisement OF the Church members. The
accusers said: I'VE accuse him of no
offense cognizable by law" and yet
they urged that he be deprived of the
rights to exercise the civil duties Inn
posed upon him by his state. II is easy
to see that II they had succeeded in
this first attempt the next would have
beeh dlrecVad against others whom
they would have desired to have pun
ished though they could not accuse
them Of any "offense cognisable by
law" When that rule prevails, there
is no telling to what extreme conse-
quences It may lead.
In the second place, the effort was
actually made in Idaho 10 GUST from
office an excellent official OF the high
est moral standing in the state. for no
other reason than his membership In
the Church and that dastardly as
sault upon free American institutions
was warmly applauded In the columns
of the Tribune. II straws Indicate the
direction OF the wind this effort 10 de-

which he fills with ability and honor,

object OF the conspIrators was.
