RAILROAD cRossINGl WARNING

RAILROAD CROSSING, WARNINGl
The decision of the federal judge
in Missouri, that the two-cent pas
senger fare rate in Missouri is con-
fiscatory, is belated sanction of Gov
ernor Hughes position in vetoing
the New York two-cent fare bill. on
the ground that II was merely legis-
lative submission to popular clamor,
and not a well considered action.
What effect the Missouri decision will
have on the 'wo-cent rate In other
states. we do not care to predict; but,
considering the temper of the people.
we would caution railroad men to be
discreet in reactionary movements
nl-advised legislative action, that
sTiPpsss transportation lines, must
necessarily injure the whole country.
On the other hand, that the first hys-
terra OF reform has been succeeded by
calmness on the part of the public,
does not mean that the public de-
mand for improved service and just
rates has abated one whit, and Il
would be dangerous to cross that pur-
pose again. Mark Hanna's injunc-
tions to "stand pat" and "let well
enough alone" are applicable to
many situations.

Several Suits Consolidated In Case
Decided-Banks Interested.

In a decision given last night Spe-
cial Judge w. Scott Morrison. of
j0wensboro, decided that the Hotel
Craig property. Fifth and Jefferson
lstreets, should be sold to satisfy the
debt of the Globe Bank and Trust
company for $5.611.35 and also three
mortgages, amounting to $4,000.
Should the hotel property not be sold
for enough to pay the debt. the prop
erty in the rear of the hotel, 527
Jefferson street, is subject to sale.
Appeals by the First National bank
land the defendants were granted.
The suit has been an important
'one to members of the bar, and in At
were consolidated -he suits of the
Globe Bank and Trust company
against James e. wilhelm ct all;
George w. Bains against James f.
Wilhelm ct al. and the First National
bank against Mary b. Bains. Owins

holder in the Globe Bank and Trust
company he declined TO preside and
the governor appointed Judge Scott
Morrison. The case was argued for
two days and in order to complete Il,
the session was held last night, the
decision being given about S:30
O'Clock.
The suit of the Globe Bank and
Trust company was against ]. E.
Wilhelm, Ella B. Wilhelm. Amanda
Wilhelm, William Wilhelm ana
James E. Wilhelm, Jr.. and the court
held that J. e. Wilhelm owned a life
curtesy in the hotel property. His
interest was fixed at 65 and 65-1OO
per cent OF the entire valuation Of
the property The entire case turned
on the point that Mrs. Ella B. Will
helm in her will had given the hotel
property, including her husbands life
estate. to her children and that her
husband had consented to II In writ
ing when the will was made and hal
accepted the provision of the will for
him at her death; but the court de-
cided that Mr.. Wilhelm could not
dispose of his life estate in this man.
ner against the interest of creditors;
because the hotel property had been
acquired by Mrs. Wilhelm and his
life estate had become vested in 1891
under the deed from her father. and
before the new married women's act
was passed in 1894. This point was
fought bitterly by the attorneys in
the case.

From mans eyes, declares an OBJ
server, you can gather whether he is
an honest fellow or rogue. Can't
subscribe TO that, but, on the other
hand. sometimes by looking at one

against something. You are, how
ever, unable to say just what it was
until he tells you. Then you don't
believe him. and usually guess right.
