verdict Of a court-martial which tried
him sentenced Corporal Myer to be
reduced to the ranks, to be confined
at hard labor for three months and
to forfeit $50 of his pay.
The court-martial was a little SLOW

moth cave will come into its own
again.
However, there are many obstacles
that will have to be overcome before
this can be brought about. When
Doctor Croghan, the owner, died In
1849, he left the entire Mammoth cave
estate, consisting Of nearly 5000
acres, in the hanGs Of trustees for
the benefit of his nine nephews and
nieces, with the proviso that when
they should all be dead the trustees
should sell the estate at public auc-
ton. Five Of the heirs are still alive.
and although the youngest is seventy
two, it may be many years before the
provisions Of the will can be carried
out. At public auction the Louisville
& Nashville railroad probably would
be the purchaser, for already it owns
practically all the land around the
cave, and for a long time 1t has been
known that the railroad would like to
get it to boom its traffic The rail-
road and the trustees have been at
loggerheads for years, with the re-
suit that the road makes no effort to
stimulate traffic. The trustees Of the
estate do not spend any money in ads
vertising the cave or for improve
ments. They are content to get what
revenue they can from admissions to
the cavern and from the hotel.
Representative Thomas declares the
government could step in and buy the
cave despite the Croghan will, which
provides for its sale only at public
| auction, and then only when the last
heir shall have passed away. II he
can get sufficiently large appropria-
t1on-probably $1,000,000, for the tim

the government can have the estate
appraised and pay the appraisal price
to the trustees. His idea is to have
the federal authorities improve thd
estate and make the cave once moro
a famous show place. The thousands
of persons who have visited the cave
in earlier days, who have seen it's

sailed on its Echo river and who
have sat in the star chamber. will
sympathize with him and his plan
And unless his plan be carried out
in the near future the cave will be abb
solutely forgotten except in it's imme-
date vicinity. The guides and the
people who live near the cave love 1t,
and they are looking forward to the
time when under government control

Would Boost Butter 81 a Pound
Chicago and Egn interests Have United for a Corner
This FaI-Packng Firms Interested

Chicago, May 26.-Following the an
nouncement that Chicago meat pack
ing interests had obtained contracts
for about eight million pounds of but
ter, practically all the output Of the
Omaha market during June and July,
to be delivered at Elgin prices, it was
openly declared that local and Elgin
butter interests would combine to
raise the market price and force the
packers to cancel their contracts or
lose a fortune by the deal.
According to the Inter Ocean it is
pointed out by local dealers that the
delivery of this vast quantity of but
ter for cold storage purposes into the
hands of the packers would leave the
market at the latter's mercy in the fall
when prices are expected to rise. The
dealers controlling the Elgin butter
board and quotation committee an
nounced last night that they would
mark the price of butter at 81 pound
if necessary to make the packers an

Committee of Richmond Citi-

CAR LINE IN THE GLEN
MAYOR PROMISES TO CARRY
CASE INTO THE COURTS IF COM.
PANY REFUSES TO OBEY THE
ORDER.

For the purpose OF thanking the
members OF the board of public works
for their earnest and conscientious eff
forts in endeavoring to compel the
Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern
Traction company to remove it's tracks
from the Glen Miller park, a commit
tee OF representative citizens called a.
the office of the board this morning
and personally expressed appreciation
for the attitude taken by the present
administration in behalf of the mat
ter. The committee was appointed
about two years ago at a mass meeting
was entered against the placing of the
tracks In the Glen. 1t Is composed of
Timothy Nicholson, chairman; DIR.
Paul Ross, DR.. d. w. Stevenson, DR..
NJ +. Johnston, c. B. Hunt, Mrs. NJ
+. Johnston and Mrs. Wallace.
Mr.. Nicholson said that he voiced the
sentiments OF the majority of the peo-
pie in Richmond when he declared
that he was very much pleased with
the recent order of the board of public
works by which the traction company
was ordered to tear up its tracks in the
park. He said that two years ago
when the permission was granted the
company to run through the Glen, he
wrote a personal letter to the presi
dent OF the company, advising him not
to place the tracks in the park. as he
would sooner or later regret having
taken the step. Mr.. Nicholson then
asked that no hesitancy be shown by
the board of works in soliciting the
aid of any member of the committee
az any assistance would be rendered.
On behalf of the board Mayor Zim-
norman thanked the committee for
their hearty cooperation and declared
that the board would do everything in
its power to remove the tracks. He
stated that the whole affair hinged on
a fine point of law and that unless the
company agreed to abide by the decis-
ion of tn board and follow its orders
the case would be carried to court.
