Chicago, July 9.—The Chicago & Alton railroad and John N. Faithorn and Frederick A. Wann, formerly of- ficlals of the road, were convicted in the United States district court of illegally granting rebates to the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Packing company. No sentence was imposed by Judge Landis pending the arguments for a new trial for the defendants, which will be heard Saturday morning. In elght counts of the indictment, on all of which the defendants were found guilty, two offenses against the Elkins law were proved. It was shown by the government that the railroad pee had charged $4 a car for handling the products of Schwarzschild & Sulzberger at Kan- sas City and had then repaid the packing company $1 on each car. The government argued and thecourt held that the failure of the railroad to publish in {ts tariff the fact that the $1 was repaid made {tin facta secret rebate. It'was asserted by the attorneys for the defendants that the refund of the $l a car was necessary because the packing company owned the rail road track near {ts plant and com- pelled the railroad company to pay that amount for trackage when it hauled the cars away. Under the law the maximum sen- tence of the court may be a fine of $120,000 for each of the three de- fendants. No imprisonment provi- sion appears in the law. There are two specific allegations of rebating alleged in the eight counts of the in- dictment upheld by the court. A Wise Answer. A bright young man of wealth and social position, but bad habits, re- cently asked a young woman to be his wife. Many girls would have felt ‘flattered and have accepted him. Her answer was sharp and decided: You say I have qualities you wish in the woman who you wish to be your wife. I do not know as to that. But there are habits I do not have, and «an not accept a husband who has them. Ido not smoke, nor swear, nor indulge in wine. Iam not in debt. I donot spend my days in idleness or in walking the streets with silly, unthinking girls, nor my olghts with questionable associates. As you have most ol these habits I cannes be your wife. Nothing but misery could ever come to such a anion, It was wisely thought and bravely spoken.—California Independent. The Dead Now Number 51.

He connected up the underlined words and read as follows: “Dear- est Fraulein: Will lt insult you if1 tell you that I adore youand— ” In short @ love letter of the most gushing description and closing with the suggestive words: ‘‘Answer in the next chapter.” Then he took a lead penc!l, under- ined some words in the next chapter wrapped the book ina piece of pa- per and handed it to his foot man, whom he instructed to take it back to the young gentleman, The latter opened the volume, his heart throbbing like a sledge ham- mer, and found the words underlined in the next chapter.

Tanner, who committed per- jory 1n order to shield his law part- ner, the late United States Senator John H. Mitchell, was pardoned by the President June 26.- Sentence had never been passed in the case of Judge Tanner, and {t had been ex- pected that he would be pardoned in consideration of the service he ren- bered when he later went on the wit- ness stand and gave damaging testi- mony against Mitchell. Tanner committed perjury when he testified in relation to his partner- ship agreement with Mitchell. He jswore that a written agreement, which provided that all money re- celved for practice before the depart- mente at Washington should belong to Tanner exclusively, had been in existence for years; whereas the agreement was not three months old and was drawn after Senator Mitch- ell got into trouble. The late Senator Mitchell was con- victed of practicing law before the United States departments while a member of the Senate. He had been indicted for accepting @ bribe of $2,000 to “expedite” fraudulent cases in the United States land office, His sentence was a fine of $1,000 and six months {n prison. He was on bond pending a review of his case when he died, December 8, 1905. / a One Brother Killed Another. - Salina, Kas., July 9.—The coro- ner’s jury has acquitted Bert Vos- burg of the murder of his brother, Louis, who was killed during a fight at afamily reunion July 4th.

While the American soldier is not so ‘beefy’ as the Britisher, he is ‘smarter’ and better eet up. He is the best looking eoldier in the world, superior to the fighting men of Germany, France or England. The only improvement in the uniforms is to give him a better fit, giving full effect to his fine quall- ties.” Bryan to Tarry in London, London, July 9.—Mr. Bryan has decided not to leave London Mon- day.

The ore was encountered at adepth of about five feet, and a considerable quantity was taken out and piled on the sidewalk. The basement is to be excavated toa depth of twelve feet, and it is expected that a quantity of ore will be found where the Joplin Hotel stood, and on the site of which the magnificent new structure‘is to be érected.
