The Senator and the Cross Eyed

A Senator came into the cloak

he broke the silence, without even n
prelude.

ball of yarn on him. Every time
he jumped after that ball, he struck
wide of the mark. Then caught
him, looked closer at him and. be-
hold, the cat was cIcss eyed,
What puzzles me now is TO dc -.
eide whether or not there is an aris-
tocracy of cats life into which a
crooked eyed cat cannot come. He
was evidently IN outcast and pa
riah with his kind, for he carefully
kept his corner all the time the other
cats were around. Now the rats left
with the cats, and what | want TO
know is whether there is not some
feeling of caste among rats as we'll as
cats in refusing TO even TO associate

STORM DOES A GREAT
DEAL OF DAMAGE
Lightning Plays Havoc in
Some Sections.
Telephone Company Is Heaviest
Loser, Many Lines Being Out
of Commission.

A terrific electric storm passed over
the city and county about IL o'clock
Monday night. The rain fell in tor
rents and rivers and ditches through
out the county were swollen to their
capacity.
The lightning caused > great deal
of damage, moving down timber, live
stock and telephone poles. The
lines of the Marion eoun1Y telepnon!
company were greatly impaired as a
result of the storm and the linemen
will be busily engaged cor several
days placing them in normal condi-
ton. South OF the city several poles
were almost completely shattered and
scores of lines were knocked out OF
Commission. Lightning struck a tree
on the farm of b. II, Winch, Of
three miles north of Kirkpatrick,
killing valuable draft horse which
was sheltered beneath it. Other live
stock In the immediate vicinity was
badly crippled as "esult of the
stroke.
The heavy downpour continued
practically all night and the official
report discloses a rain fall of nearly
two inches during the night.

TO FORESTALL
ADVERSE LAWS
Railway Business Associa-
tion Is Quite Busy.
WITHIN ITS PROPER SPHERE
Seeks Only Justice to all
Parties Concerned =
This Organization Seeks to Check
Legislation Which 10 Injurious to
the Railways and to all b usiness

The efforts of the Railway Business
Association, an organization consist
ing of business men who produce
and deal in goods which are mostly
bought by railways, are entirely just
ifiable. This organization appeals to
State legislatures. cautionlng them
against the passage of laws which
must be disturbing to the railways
and their allied interests. The or
ganization does not in any way at
tempt TO obtain favorable legislation,
but considers always the principle OF
equal justice for all, and just because
Of this principle desires to prevent
hasty Legislation, wiiich may not
only be of no benefit, but att in
juriously, II not deciared Invalid by
the Courts.
The demands of the organization
are entirely proper for two reasons.
First, all legislation adverse to rail-
ways must affect all industries de-
pending upon them, and the extent
OF these Industries can be appreciat-
hands are employed by them, upon
whose earnings 100000 people are
dependent; and then, sucn legislation
hampers the railroads In their devel-
opment, in the purchase of rolling
stock, in the construction of suf-
ficient terminal stations, freight de-
pots, ETC., so that when the longed for
revival of business conditions comes
along, the roads will find themselves
in the same unpleasant situations
as in 1906 and 1907 of not being able
TO handle their work quickly enough.
The Railway Business Association
has In It's efforts the approval of 81
of the most important Chambers Of
Commerce and similar organizations
in New York, Chicago, Pennsylvania
st. Louis, PittaDhrg Baltimore,
Boston, Indianapolis, ETC., who have
perceived the value and the Jusufica-
tion of this agitation. This Is most
pregnantly expressed in the resolu-
tion adopted by the National Asso-
citation OF Cotton Manufacturers, in
which the Board OF Directors are
asked 10 represent to the legisla-
lures, in the face or the extended i'm
provements which are needed for the
handling of railway traffic, to make
careful inquiries before passing laws
which might hamper the roads or in
any way hinder them in the devel-
opment of their business.
The demand Is not UNJUST, especial
ly when one considers the repeated
court decisions which nave declared
these measures invalid. The trend
of the times has changed. The mad
attack which in consequence Of a
misunderstood reform-moVemen was
directed against everything which
went by the name OF rallroad or
| corporation, is seen to have been
purposeless, and Vt is recognized that
we cannot deal severe blow to a
large factor of the commercial COM
monwealth without affecting serious
ly the rest Of 1t, as well as the
workingmen. New Jersey Freie

w. II. S1haff, who for many years

division, has resigned his position to
accept position as assistant super
intendent of the Lake Shore railway
Mr.. Shaff is well known in this city

suing his duties as trainmaster he
was a frequent visitor in this city.
He is a brother of G. Il. Schaff, gen

His rapid raise in railroad circles is
watched by many friends in this

probably act as train master on both
divisions for some time. The change

To kill the eczema germ and at

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY S, 1909.
a New Law.

While the late session of the Legislature
has been criticised considerably, its action
in passing new measures regulating the
use of automobiles without disturbing
the existing law, is to be commended.
The new law went into effect the first of
this month. Hereafter the registrations
will expire on December 81 of each year.
The new law is expected to yield for the
State about $4,000, and this will be ex-
pended under the direction of the high
way commissioner in the counties where
the tax is raised. The operators fee is
So, and the tax on the machine is 81 per
horse. power on new car, rs per cent.
the second year, and 90 per cent. the
third year and thereafter. Annual regis
tration is obligatory.
Non residents must take out license
to run their machines in the State, at the
rate of SO for machines with less than 20
horsepower, SO up to 40 horsepower,
and above 40 horsepower, $40. Parties
running machines in the State longer
than go days will be considered as resi-
dents, and will be taxed accordingly.

ADDISON COUNTY COURT.

THE Mumley case got the jury on Tues
day. Mumley was the last witness. A
motion was made by p. Meldon for the
railroad that a verdict be rendered for
the defense on the ground of contribu-
tory negligence az shown by the plain
tiff's testimony. The motion was lost,
and the taking of testimony for the de-
Tense begun Thursday afternoon
James Farrell, the engineer of the
train, testified the whistle was blown
and the bell was rung when the train
was nearing the crossing and that the
train was not running fast, on which
points contrary to the evidence of the
plaintiff.
The brakeman and fireman and II. f.
Dwyer, a young man who was walking
on the track, all corroborated the testi-
mony of Engineer Farrell as the use of
the bell and whistle at the crossing.
a two on Monday the time was taken
by pleas to the jury, which were heard by
a large crowd
Judge Stanton gave the case to the
jury in clear and able charge at noon
Tuesday.
The jury were out 81 hours. and came
into court at 3 AS p. m. on Wednesday.
They then informed the court that they
were unable to agree, and Judge Stanton
at last, although very reluctantly, dis.
charged them from the further consider
alton of the case. or until they had been
engaged for seven days.
And so ended the second trial of tins
important and interesting case. The
jurors stood seven to five, ana it is un-
derstood that the seven were in favor of
verdict in favor of the plaintiff. 1t is
said that this is exactly the way the jury
stood at the former trial year ago.
Plaintiff Mumey testified that he is now
n years of age and DIR. E. II. Martin of
Middlebury testified that the injuries to
his arm and shoulder are permanent, and
will TO some extent disable him for life.
/ He had much sympathy from the crowds
in court.
Another railroad case started Tuesday
/ afternoon. This is Oliver c. Huntley vs..
I the Rutland Railroad Company, whose
/ hotel was a three-story frame building,
with large ell, and between three and
! four O'clock on the morning of October
/ 80. 1907, the house was burned TO the
ground, together with several outbuiid-
ings. Mr. Buntley places the value OF
the property destroyed at $1,000 and
claims that the fire was started by
sparks from engine owned by the Rut-
land Company. The evidence will be
| wholly circumstantial.
