STATE AND GENERAL NEWS.
THE WAY THEY DO IN STARKE. Starke County Democrat: The commissioners personally inspected the two new bridges built by the Winamac Bridge company on the Moorman road and while they believed them to meet the requirments in every respect, they decided to withhold payment for the same until the strength of the bridges could be properly tested. .
ces brought the response' that the shotting off of the service was in line with the present policy of the company. A well informed Wall street man. said: “This is the death of the bucket sl’ilops and the Western Union has at last been hammered into regard for the laws. It is evident that without the fast service from the Western Union no bucket shop can exist. Tine government’s indictment made- it patent that these places, were the result of the Western Union’s patronage. It accused the company of conspiracy with bucket shops to break the law. This indictment has* been a cudgel with which the government forced the company to observe the statute. You will see every bucket-shop go out of business.’’
