for the defendant. This suit was brought to collect penalty of s10O a day for forty days for the failure of the telephone company to give the plaintiff telephone service.
 The plaintiff had telephoen out of order for several days and deducted the amount from the monthly tx phone bill, refusing to pay the bal ance, and her telephone was removed. It was finally put back and suit was brought for $100 per day for each day the telephone was out.
 Judge Lea held that the state law did not intend the telephone com pany should pay for taking a tele- phone out when there was a dispute over an account, but was enacted to prevent the telephone company from willfully violating the law. He held that Mrs. Dannaher could collect any actual damages she had sustained by being without the use of the telephone but could not collect penalty.

FEARED THE MOB
 AND CONFESSED
Chicot County Negro Was Acquitted
 of Charge of RObbing a PostOffice.

John J. Jones, negro of Chicot county, who was charged with three times breaking into the postoffice at Macon Lake, was yesterday afternoon acquitted in the United States Dis trict court.
 The store in which the postoffice is located was three times broken open and money and supplies taken. The witnesses for the prosecution testified they decided to set watch, and did so, hearing some one in the bui1ding and seeing him. leave. A shot was sent toward the fleeing burglar, who dropped his sack full of merchandise and ran. Jones was lat CT found at his home, wounded, and confessed to burglarizing the store.
 At the trial yesterday the evidence was all circumstantial, and Jones claimed he made the confession under threats of lynching, and gave his captors all the money he had to re- pay the money taken from the store, which was not taken by him, but given up to prevent being lynched.
 Jones further claimed he was not in the store, but was passing along the road on the morning he was shot, carrying sack full of fish he had caught in the lake, and the charges against him were made to give the witness justification for the shoot ing. Jones also claimed the white men of the vicinity were trying to get rid of him because he was independ- ent, made enough to pay for what he bought, owned his own farm and had property in Mississippi The jury was given the case yesterday after noon late, and was out but a short time in reaching a verdict.
 After being acquitted on the gov ernment charge Jones was arrested on warrants issued from Chicot coun- ty courts, charging him with larceny burglary and Sabbath breaking.

Cunningham coal claimants consulted
you in regard to the prospect of Sc
curing patent upon the claims, and
invited your attention to the charac-
ter of certain evidence which was be-
ing used to impeach the validity of
the claims by Special Agent CLAWS.
The inference which Mr. CLAWS
seeks to have drawn to your discred-
it in this connection is that you while
commissioner of the general land Of
flee, came into possession of facts
concerning the so-called Cunningham
group of coal land claims. which
made it improper for you to use
such facts after your resignaticn in
the course of securing the lpatepts.

sioner, you acquired no knowledge in
respect to the claims except that OF

cRANpMoTHER's MEMORIES.
BY Helen A. gyrom

BY Helen A. Byron
Grandmother sits in her easy chair.
In the ruddy sunlight's glow;
Her thoughts are wandering far away
In the land of Long Ago.
Again she dwells in her fathers home
And before her loving eyes
IN the light of glorious summer
day
The gray Old farmhouse lies.
She hears the hum of the spinning
wheel
And the spinner's happy song;
She sees the bundles of flax that
hang
From the rafters, dark ~ long;
She sees the sunbeams glide and
dance
Across the sanded floor;
And feels on her cheek the wander.
ing breeze
That steals through the open door.
Beyond the flowers nod sleepily
At the well-sweep. gaun. a>d tall;
And up from the glen comes the ml,-
sical roar
OF the distant waterfall.
The COWS roam lazily to and fro
Along the shads' lane;
The shouts of the reapers sound
faint and far
From the fields of golden grain.
And grandma herself, happy gir.,
Stands watching the setting sun,
While the spinner rests, and the
reapers cease,
And the long days work IS done;
Then something wakes her-the room
is dark,
And vanished the sunset glow;
And grandmother wakes, with sad
surprise,
From the dreams of long ago.

Philately of Aviation.

One of the very few genuine "vari-
cites" in stamps is announced. 1t
would be more correct to say it is a
rare postmark. Rare it will be if in
terested parties did not take advan-
tage of the occurrence and have ad-
dressed to themselves thousands of
envelopes bearing the mark 1t seems
that during the now historical avia-
ton week at Rheims a temporary
postoffice was set up on the aviation
ground and all letters there posted
bearing the ordinary French stamps
were postmarked INSTRUMENTATION, i"
besides the various service marks.
The marking stamp was hexagonal
instead of round. These stamps will,
ne doubt, be curiosities. Time will
tell whether they will be sought after
like the unnecessary Brunei provision
ais, which in the aggregate must have
fetched just as high a sum as the
years revenue of the swamp in
which they were issued.

Pasture of 300 Acres.

Paola.-One of the largest livestock
Industries of Kansas or in the west is
he sheep pasture and unloading yards
located between Osawatomie and Pa
ola, Kan, on the Missouri Pacific rail
road The plant is built on a vast
scale and the purpose is to receive
live stock which is in transit from
the far west to eastern markets, this
stock being principally sheep. The
stock will be unloaded at this place,
rested up, fed and turned upon the
pastures to recover from the effects
of shipping
The land comprises more than 800
acres and the company has already
spent over $4,000 for the plant and
improvements. The land for this live
stock industry has been improved by
a 2,500-barrel watering tank, twenty
horse power engine to produce cleo
tricity to run the plant and light the
grounds. A 250-ton hay barn has been
built and a switch extended to it.
The stockholders and officers of the
company are all Kansas men, this be-
ing solely a Kansas industry. Major
]. B. Remington is president, DR..
Hays, secretary and treasurer. and
John c. Chestnut, vice president. This
industry will furnish large local mar
ket for hay and grain in Miami coun-
ty and benefit not only this county,
but the whole western part of the
United States.
Several prominent sheep raisers of
Utah have been to Osawatomie look
ing over the new live stock quarters.
They praise it very highly.
