The DEMOCRAT starts its new serial
story "Alias Jimmy Valentine" in next
weeks issue. 1t depicts in vivid color
bility of a bank cashier of a young man

There is not a dull moment from start
to finish. Don't miss the opening chap

There was nothing "real funny" about
the story brought into town Friday
afternoon by party of school boys
old enough to know better-that one of
of their number had accidentally
drowned while bathing in the Ct.
Northern reservoir. The report spread,
and perhaps quicker than they expected.
Anxious parents fastened the scene.
Both drays we're drafted for the emer-
gency by men with ropes to rescue, and
a doctor to if possible resusicate the
victim. They arrived only to find that
ajoke had been played upon them. AS a
holiday prank on Arbor Day it was
certainly the limit. An interesting ses-
sion in the woodshed would have done
the perpetrators more good than eating
supper before they went to bed Friday

Chicago Association of Com
merce Banquet Feb. IS.
SECRETARY KNOX WILL ATTEND
Being Unable to Attend President
Taft Sends His Appreciation
of the Endorsement of Ca
madam Treaty Plans.

Chicago, Feb. S.-Business men of
Chicago and twenty-five other cities of
the central west will take a stand for
tariff reciprocity with Canada at a
significant banquet to be given by
the Chicago Association Of Commerce
at the Hotel Sherman Feb. Is.
Secretary of State Knox and James
j. Hill, railroad builder, will be the
principal speakers. President Taft,
whose administrative program for Gre
ating nor equitable trade relations
between the Dominion and the United
States is strongly Endorsed by the bus
mess organization, has been invited to
attend, but the fact that official bust
ness will recall the executive to Wash
ington after a trip to Springfield, ILL.,,
next Saturday may interfere.
A communication from the presi-
dents secretary has conveyed to the
Association of Commerce Mr.. Taft's
hearty approval Of the action of the
business body, and the acceptance of
Secretary Knox, who has not before
been a guest of the association, al
though several times invited, is taken
as another expression of administra-
tive satisfaction in the cooperation
of Chicago and the west. Mr.. Hills
acceptance also has been received.
"The administration at Washington
has framed and presented to congress
a reciprocal trade agreement, the
breadth of which touches most init
mately the great masses of the people
of the country said President Wheel
er, of the Chicago Association Of Com
merce. NATURALLY there will be oppo-
sitiOn, but the central west may well
stand a unit behind the administra-
ton in an endeavor to secure favora-
BILE action before the close of this ses-
sin of congress.
RECIPROCITY as a general principle
needs no champion at this day when
it is recognized as fundamental to all
commercial growth. The history Of
our repeated failures to adopt recip-
rocal legislation with Canada does not,
in the light Of existing conditions,
reflect gre credit for far-sighted
statesmansLlp upon our national con-
gress.
"The Chicago Association Of Com
merce, in order to crystaliZe senti-
ment, is arranging this banquet as an
opportunity to cities of the central
west to record themselves as u%nqual-
ifiedly in favor of the reciprocity
agreement"

!. c. Men Under Indictment to Be
Forced to Return Funds.
COURTORDERS BIGRESTITUTON
Fraud Charged Amounts to $3,5o0,000
and Judge Gibbons Orders Return
of This Amount to Illinois
Central Road.

Chicago, Feb. Sin the opinion
handed down by Judge Gibbons of the
superior court five former Illinois Cen.
trail officials who had been forced to
resign were ordered to give an ac-
counting of the money out of which
they are charged with having de-
frauded the railroad while engaged in
the repair car business.
Judge Gibbons overruled the demur-
rer filed in behalf of the defendants
and gave the decision to the Illinois
Central road.
The men who must give an account
ing and turn over the money made by
them while in the repair car business
are: Frank B. Harrison, general
manager; Charles L. Ewing, general
superintendent; John M. Taylor, gen
eral storekeeper; Joseph E. Baker,
general superintendent of machinery;
Orlando S. Keith, superintendent of
ment in the criminal court on charges
of fraud.
It is charged that the former officials
had defrauded the Illinois Central road
out of $4,000, 900 while engaged in the
car repair business.
Part of the courts decision follows:
"The bill in this case seeks to COM
pei the general manager and five other
officials or employees of the Illinois
Central railroad to account for and re-
turn the complainant moneys and
other property of the complainant OBJ
tanned by the defendants through the
alleged dishonest violation Of the du-
ties of their respective positions.
81 must hold that the bill of COM
plant in this case Gets forth a cause
of action in language sufficient to in
form the defendants of the nature of
the charges against them. The bill
as amended is, in my opinion, suf-
ficiently specific in form and sound in
law. The special and general demur-
rers are, therefore, overruled, and, it
is so ordered"
Attorneys hurry Nelson, Jr., and Ed
ward B. Burling represented the ILL
nois Central, and Attorneys Merritt
Starr, S. M. Hoover, Frank Reed, Mar
quis Eaton and Philip Stein were coun-
sci for the defendants.
