Warden of this city announced today
that the suits Of herself and her sons,
Carl and Clarence, against 10 saloon
keepers of southern Illinois for the death
Of her husband, A. A. Warden, had been
settled by compromise. She declined to
say whether the saloonkeepers had paid
$4,000 to her as has boen reported.
Mrs. Warden sued the saloonkeepers for
$4,000 and her sons sued for $4,000. The
ground OF action in both suits was that

sold liquor to Warden and had caused
him to become a habitual drunkard, In
consequence of which he became diseased

Castro's Band of
Revolutionists Meets
Disastrous Defeat

LONDON, NOV. S-The Venezuelan
consul here received cable advices from
Caracas informing him that ex-President
Castro. at the head of body of revoiu-
tionists, has met with a disastrous de-
feat near San Cristobal.
Castro's whereabouts has been a mat
ter of uncertainty for several months
The Venezuelan censors have allowed lit
tie news of him or of the present revolu-
tionary movement to sift through. Dis
patches from nelghboring countries have
made 1t evident that a revolt of some
seriousness was either brewing or al
ready launched, but most of the advices
have carefully insisted that Castro had
no part in the proposed uprising.
The most recent news on the subject
came from Willemstad, Curacao, on
Thursday last. This was that Castro
was residing on his estate at Cucutu,
Columbia, on the Venezuelan frontier.
cucuta is less than fifty miles from san
Crlstobol, where Castro's defeat is re-

wentern Rondr nit mnrd.

Local railroad freight men are not en-
tirely clear on the decision OF the Inter-
state Commerce commission. However.
taking the Associated Press report as a
basis for figuring, they are Of the opinion
that the roads have been hard hit and
that the lines operating between the Mis-
sissppi and Missouri rivers will have to
stand the whole OF the cut.
There is no through rate between At
lantic seaboard and Missouri river COM
mon points, 1t being made up on the
sum Of the locals. For instance The sum
OF the locals between Atlantic seaboard
points and She Mississippi river is 81
cents per 100 pounds, first class, while
between the Mississippi river and Mis-
souri, river common points It Is GO cents.
Thus the eastern roads receive 81 cents
per 100 pounds for hauling freight 500
miles, while the roads between the two
rivers receive 60 cents for hauling the
same commodities 800 miles. However,
freight originating at the seaboard takes
a 5l-cent rate between the two rivers.
All OF the local railroad men admit that
II the western roads are required 10
absorb the entire reduction II viii hurt
them materially, as 1t will reduce their
revenue correspondingly Mono Of the
local men Is certain as to what case the
commission had under consideration when
the decision was made, but they are of
the opinion that it grows out OF the
Byrne-Hammer complaint filed year OF
more ago.

FORT HALL ROADS.

The positive announcement yester-
day by the superintendent in charge
of the Fort Hall irrigation project
that water would be delivered to all
the lands not later than July / was
good news to the people of Pocatello.
1t means the consummation of one of
the most important irrigation projects
in the state-nOt one of the largest
in point of acreage or cost, but one
of the most perfect and most ideally
located with reference to a ready
market for all kinds of produce.
The completion of the Fort Hall
project brings to mind the necessity
of providing at the earliest possible
to the fertile acres which will this
year for the first time blossom as
the rose. Gradually the old roa Is, or
trails across part of the coded lads
which were formerly embraced in the
Fort Hall Indian reservation, are be
ing Strengthened out and the high
ways laid along section lines. While
this arrangement lengthens the dis
lance between given points, it light
ems the burden on the homesteaders
and leaves the tract in symmetrical
shape.
The attention of the board of o.Jun-
ty commissioners might with profit
be directed to the fact that the trans
formation on the tract has been and
will continue to be marvellous. This
wonderful growth demands consider
alton from the commissioners in the
way of good roads, which will mean
still more rapid development It
would be a profitable scheme for the
Fort Hall homes leaders to arrange to
drive the board of commissioners over
the tract, that they may be given a
chance to judge of the bi2ness of the
project and of the necessity of taking
action along the good road line. Chair
man Bistline is personally familiar
with the tract and will use his best
efforts to secure liberal appropria-
tons for that part of his district this
year, but the other members while
willing and anxious no doubt to as
sist in upbuilding every part OF the
country, are personally mot familiar
with conditions. However, even
without more intimate knowledge,
it is believed the board will take cog
nizance of the Importance of assist
ing in every possible way in the
quick development of the tract, and
nothing is more important as a con-
tributing factor tha,l good roads

PASSING OF TOM JOHNSON.

Tom l.. Johnson is dead The man
who was twice congressman and four
times mayor met his final defeat at
the hands of the rider of the pale
horse. Perhaps no man in the past
quarter of the century has so impress
ed his personality and his views upon
the people of great city as did this
man who for many years dominat cd
the city of Cleveland and whose re-
form and progressive ideas as to
legislation found their way in to state
and national platforms. He was
mn OF mny friends and even his en-
emies could not question his SINGER
ity.
He was born fighter. At one time
he was 6. rich man and might have
Been one OF the greatest men of
wealth i'm the nation. But he chose
to cast his lot with the common peo-
pie and the down-trodden and the
masses against the men of wealth. the
moneyed interests of his city and
state and the classes He fought hard
he fought valiantly and he fought
straight. His wealth dwindled and
his estates went to pay the bills of
his creditors AID when he died he
had little more than those for whom
he led in battle. He was a friend of
the common people and not am enem,
or those who had wealth and used il
honestly.
He is known as the father of the
three cent street car fare. Volunta-
rlly installing the system on his own
INES he sought to make it the rule
for all the large cities. 1t was in this
light that he partially lost, but the
TACT that in his own city the three
cent fare has come to stay is a vic
tory. 1t was in his last great cam
palgn which he fought and lost that
his health and spirit were broken
and then came the physical collapse
which ended in his death. In his last
illness the SAME fighting spirit which
was so prominent in his days of
strength and he held on to life with
tenacity that was a marvel even to
MS physicians. He was a fighter to
the last and good loser
In this age of political turmoil and
strife the country can lily afford to
lose man of this character. We ma,
dlf1er from him in many of his polit-
zeal views but we can never doubt
his sincerity. The state and nation
mourns today with the Forest CITY
