day handed down an important deci-
sion affirming the judgment Of the

manager, to pay fines Of $4,000 and
$4,000, respectively, for making con-
cessions to the Spencer-Grain compa'

bate must be complied with to the let
ter, that the fact that the same con-
cession is made to all shippers over
the same route, so that there is nc
discrimination, being immaterlal the
gravamen of the offense consists IN
granting a lower rate or a concession
from the rates published in the sched'
ules filed by the carrier with the IN
terstate commerce commission. GOOD
faith on the part of the parties can
not alter the legal effect of such de-
parture from the published rates. The
opinion of the court is written by

CITY BUYS A MILL DAM.
Jefferson Wins in Tussel With Farm
ers for Property.

Jefferson Wins in Tussel With Farm
ers for Property.
By a vote of 331 to SO the citizens
of Jefferson, at special election, for
ever precluded the farmers residing
above the city from tearing out the
mill dam across Rock river at that
point and thus destroying the beauty
Of the river and endangering the
health of the city. These farmers
have been endeavoring to induce the
Charles Stoppenbach estate to sell to
them their interest in the dam for a
sum approximately $4,000. If they
had succeeded in securing it they
believed that the destruction of the
dam would give them many acres
of land more, now inundated. The
city therefore secured from the Stop
penbach estate an option for $500
on the property, consisting of three
eighths interest in the dam, three
story mill building and two-story
warehouse. By the result of the cleo
ton the city may now proceed to fit up
the property for an improved pow
er plant furnishing a day and night
electrical current and motive power
for small Industries.
