New Richmond and just north of Elmdale, and is better-known as Bristle Ridge but, as you know, all the bristle bearing animals have become domesticated and the most conspicuous objects that remain are the buffalo, the Democrat and the rag-weed. So you see Buffalo Ridge is the most appropriate name for this beautiful ridge. We will not tire the readers of TIIK JOURNAL by giving the origin of Bristle Ridge for it has a history similar to that of the -'old house." Now. Mr. Number Thirteen, do you know where this beautiful Ridge is'.'

.11HY 8 DECISION*.

WASHINGTON-, M.IV 9.—After Congressman Pence (Neb.') had been heard in defense of Coxey, Browne and Jones, and District Attorney Berney had closed for the prosecution, the jury at 12:5.*)]). m. retired. At Ji:-10 it returned with its verdict, which was as follows:

Coxey P.rowne and Jones were found guilty on the first charge, that of carrying banners in the eapitoi grounds contrary to law.

On the second charge, that of trespassing on the grass, Coxey and Browne were found guilty and Jones was acquitted.

Tin? .ImlKc's Charcc.

In his long charge to the jury Judge Miller told them that they were simply trying the defendants under what was known as a police regulation passed by congress. Congress had the right to pass these regulations, and the people had no right to dictate to congress how it should transact its business. All believed in liberty, but unrestricted liberty was the worst thing in the world, and this law was simply a restriction and it should be obeyed.

I'ltictMl Under Bonds.

Attorney Lipscomb immediately entered a motion for anew trial and another in arrest of judgment. Judge Miller gave him four days to file the formal papers. Then tho judge made inquiries about bail, and Frank Hume, a well-known wholesale grocer who several times has sought the democratic nomination for congress from the Virginia district across the Potomac river, signed a bond in $500 for each of the three convicted COin on ea 1 rs.

Gen. Coxey left the room with his wife, pushing through a curious crowd, which made no demonstration. The conviction of liimself and Jones was a surprise to the commonweal sympathizers.

Two weeks may elapse, during which the trio will be free on bail, before the motion for a new trial is argued and decided. The penalty provided by law is the same for each offense—viz., a fine not to exceed $100 and imprisonment in jail for not more than sixty days, or both, within the discretion of the court. Accordingly the maximum punishment which may be meted out to Coxey and Browne is $200 and 120 days in jail, while. Christopher Columbus Jones is subject to §100 and sixty days.

By a curious congressional error in recent bill which reorganized the dis trict courts there is no appellate court to which a police court case can be car ried. The only method of appeal ing from Judge Miller's sentence wiil be by an application to higher court for writs of habea corpus and certiorari. Attorney Linscomb has announced that he will take this step if Judge Miller overrules the motion for a new trial. However, such a petition will not operate as a stay of judgment to keep the defendants from serving their sentences while it pending. buys He Suffers for l'rinetple.

HDoxev said that it was evident that his prosecution was not on account of what he had done, bub- because of th principles in behalf of which he had acted.

Carl Browne remarked: "I was sur prised at the conviction of Brother Coxey, because he was plainly acquitted by the evidence of any technical violation of the statutes. For my part, 1 expected to be convicted." 11(8 Camp a Menace.

WASHINGTON, May u.—The health officials of the district have submitted a report to the commissioners to the effect that the camp now occupied by Coxey's army is a menace to the health of the inhabitants of Washington, and recommends in the strongest terms that immediate steps be taken to have it vacated. Coxey will probably be or dered to move the camp at once.

Coxey9# Future.

Representative Hudson (Kan.), who was Coxey's counsel before the police court, authorizes the statement that Coxey proposes leaving Washington with his followers as soon as he secures a hearing from one of the two houses of congress. Mr. Hudson says that Coxey has no affiliation with the other commonweal forces that are now journeying to Washington. He has uo correspondence with them and does not know them or their purposes. He will not attempt again to speak from the steps of the eapitoi nor will he attempt in any way to contravene the lavva The house committee on labor will probably give Coxey a hearing on his bills on Thursday.

Says He Wag Hobbed.

MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., May 9.—II. G. Kaeden reported to the police that he had been robbed of $2,700 in a lodging house at 627 Washington avenue, south. He claims to have been until recently in a general store business at Sanborn, Minn., but sold out and came to Minneapolis, bringing with him $2,700 in greenbacks. About 11 o'clock Monday night he says he went to the lodging house. His money he placed between the mattress and the quilt. He awoke in the morning to find it gone.

A REMEDY.

How Sir. Terry Proposes to Reform Federal Court. AIXIROH.

WASHINGTON,

May

Terry

9. —Representative

(Ark.), who, with Representa­

tives Boatner and W. A. Stone, have been investigating Judge Jenkins' antistrike injunction, has prepared a bill designed to reform the practice by which federal courts are practically engaging in the railroad business through the appointment, of receivers. Most of the subsidy roads of the west are in the hands of receivers appointed by federal courts. The courts thus secure absolute authority over railroads, and as the receiverships run from year to year the courts succeed the railroad officials in conducting the business of the road. Mr. Terry's bill will attempt to put a limit to these railroad receiverships in order to avoid the charge that the courts are going into the railroad business.

It is said that not only is the time of the federal courts consumed and their functions diverted by this practice, but many incidental abuses have sprung up. One of these is the practice of cutng off all current debts for supplies, repairs, labor, etc., in order that tho eeeivers may pay all the income of tho road to the first-mortgage bondholders, ''lie latter usually apply for the appointment of receivers and when they are appointed they cut off all debts save those of the bondholders.

Judge Caldwell, of the United States circuit bench, has recognized this Abuse, and in appointing a receiver for railroad attached the condition that the receiver should pay debts due from the railroad for worli, labor, materials, machinery, fixtures and supplies of every kind, including damages to persons or property, which accrued after the execution of tho mortgage under which the receiver was appointed. Mr. Terry's bill will seek to incorporate Judge Caldwell's ruling into permanent statute law.

ST. PAUI., Minn., May 9.—The grievance committee of the Great Northern railway employes and a portion of the arbitration committee of the commercial bodies of the twin citics visited President Hill Tuesday afternoon to discuss his execution of tho agreement made a week ago.

STAKVKP TO DEATH.

SAN FHANCISCO. May 9. Francis Murphy, an American engineer and mining man who has just returned from Mexico, brings news of the terrible fate of a party which left Salto in the state of Durango on a prospecting and hunting expedition into the Sierra Madro mountains. The party, which originally started from Denver, consisted of II. B. Denton. P. Hall. Frank Turnstall, two Mexican guides, a Mr. Freeman, of St. Louis, and two New York men. The party became separated in the mountains and the. three latter gentlemen returned to Salto in, a half starved and ragged condition. A relief party was made up and at one point were found a part of the camping outfit of the missing men and a piece of paper reading: "Out of provisions no .vatcr." Later the bodies of Hall and Denton were discovered., partly devoured by coyotes. The remains were buried and mound stones raised over them. The search for Turnstall and the Mexicans continued for ten days without success, when the party was forced to abandon it, as their own provisions were giving out and the water supply was too far removed for safety. It is supposed that all of the missing men died of starvation.

SHARP TALK IN THE SENATE.

Messrs. Hour and («ray KXCIIIIIIKO Hot Words Without. Apology.

WASHINGTON, May 9.— In the senate Tuesday during the course of Senator Hoar's (rep., Mass.) tariff speech an exciting episode occurred, in which Senator's Hoar and Gray (dem., Del.) figured. Senator ILoar charged the democrats with beiug false to the oaths and the trust which their parly had reposed in them.

Senator Gray took exceptions to the statement of Senator Hoar and in an excited manner said he would not permit such a statement to go unchallenged.

Senator Hoar replied that he did not propose to be. intimidated by the "blatter" of the gentleman from Delaware.

Senator Gray found it impossible to suppress Senator Hoar and finally called him to order, his point being that he was out of order in charging senators with being false to their oaths.

Senator Gallinger (rep., N. II.) who was in the chair, stated thai lie would not assume the responsibility of deciding the point and recognized Senator Hoar, who continued his speech.

Senator Gray, when the speaker had closed, said that the culinitiation of MeKinleyisin was characterized iti this debate by the wild statements and assertions of the advocates of the system thai had wrought so much ruin to the country. They threw aside all restraints of speech and dealt in rhetoric of the slums. They cast their foul aspersions on those who sought to do their duty to their country and their party.

Senator Palmer (dem., III.) felt called upon to defend nimself Irom several of the insinuations in Senator Hoar's remarks. As far as he was concerned, he declared, hail' a loaf was better than no loaf at all. If he could not get in a measure framed by his democratic colleagues all he desired, he would take what he could get.
