PLEASES THE MEN. C, C. & L. men in this city are feel
Ing good since the announcement was occupy these rooms on or about OcL
made from the general offices 01 the ist.
company that several new engines
had been purchased for use on the
road. The reason for this elatement
Is that the C, C. & L. road sinca its
innauguration has been handicapped
to considerable degree for the lack of
sufficient motive power. When the new engines arrive a better freight
service will be inaugurated and It is said that the passenger schedule will also be changed. Some time ago Sec
retary Haas of the Richmond Com
mercial club complained to C, C. & L. officials of the poor freight service Richmond shippers were receiving and in an answer to this letter, an official of the road said that It would do everything within Its power to strengthen the freight service out of this city.
Court Declares Indictments at San Francisco Were Properly Made.
IS NO ESCAPE FROM TRIAL.
IT WILL BE NECESSARY FOR THE ALLEGED BRIBERS TO FACE THE MUSIC DECISION DESTROYS THEIR HOPE.
San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 24. The supreme court decided that the grand jury which returned graft Indictments against many municipal officials and officers of private corporations is a legal body. The effect of this decision will be to force all the bribe takers and bribe givers to trial. The attack on the validity of the Indictment was the last hope they had of avoiding their day in court. Among the most prominent men affected by this decision of the supreme court are Patrick Calhoun president of the Unit
ed railroads; Theodore V. Halsey of the
Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph company, A. K. Detwiler, William M. Abbott, W. I. Brobeck, J. E. Green, C. H. Umbsens and others. No Hope for New Trials. This decision also destroys the main hope that the grafters already convict
ed had of getting new trials. Among these men are ex-Mayor Eugene E. Schmltz and Abraham Reuf, the political boss.
District Attorney Langdon said: "Of course we are delighted that the
work of the party has not come to
naught and that the supreme court has
found no purely technical obstruction in our path. The decision of the court means that these cases are now to be decided solely on their merits, the last
big question of law which could be raised by the defense having been resolved
In our favor. We will now proceed
as fast as possible to bring those in
dieted to trial and see that justice Is
meted out to each one."
Heney Expected the Victory. Assistant District Attorney Francis Heney had the following to say:
"The decision of the supreme court
today upholding the validity of the
grand jury Is right In line with all our
contentions and Is what the prosecu
tion has confidently expected. It
means that the last Important legal
quibble of the defense has been swept
away. While we have proceeded with the trial of those indicted as fast as
possible, this decision will help to sim
plify our course.
"Any other decision would have been
deplorable and would have been a great Injury to the city at home and abroad. Of course we could have empanneled
another jury and gone through the
work of presenting the evidence and se
curing indictments again, but it would
have meant delay and in many cases
perhaps defeat of justice."
BULK OF THE TRAVEL. Traveling men out in quest of win
ter and spring orders, and students
going to college are furnishing the greater bulk of the passenger traffic on the railroads at the present time, it is asserted. After the busy fall
months the Christmas traffic will have to be cared for. Excellent service will be offered to holiday traffic this year by the Pennsylvania.

Only One Kind of Lock tke Expert Barglar Can't Flclc. "There's only one lock In the world that I can't open If you'll give me a few minutes at It. and as for ordinary door and drawer locks, I'll open them as easily as if there was no lock there. Any expert burglar can do the same." The foregoing statement was made by an experienced locksmith of Kanras City. "Few persons know how Insecure their homes are," he continued. "Few persons realize that the average lock is absolutely worthless for keeping out an experienced burglar. The ordinary door lock Is good for nothing but reminding casual business or social callers that they must ring to be admitted. None cf ' "-f ordinary 'door fasteners. ;!:; :'.s the best you can call them, wilt ii?ter a burglar two whole
minutes. If there's no key In the lock, he noon fit3 one to it. If there is a key in the lock, he inserts a pair of pinchers and in ten seconds has it opened. Understand me, I am speaking of the experienced burglar. The clumsy burglar is the one who gets in trouble. He'll fumble around with a lock until somebody hears him. There is only one unpickable lock made. That's the six pin lock used by the government. It will defy any expert. There are six
little steel pins in the lock, which have to be raised just a certain distance to open it. Some of the pins are one-fourth of an inch long and some of them a half inch. If one of the pins lacks even a hairbreadth of being raised the proper distance, the lock will not open. It baffles all the experts." This locksmith Is so expert he can open the tnjority of safes by putting his e.:r " combination and listening t the tumblers click into place . ..:ru3 it. "I Intended at one time to be a burjTlar," this locksmith declare?. "I had it all planned out even had a set of burglar's tools made.

Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold. A. J. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana,
writes: "Last year I suffered for three months with a summer cold so distressing that It interfered with my
business. I had many of the symptoms of hay fever, and a doctor's prescription did not reacii my case, and I
took several medicines which seemed to only aggravate my case. Fortunately I Insisted upon having Foley's
Honey and Tar in the yellow package, and it quickly cured me. My wife has
since used Foley's Honey and Tar
with the same success." A. G. Luken

LOVE CHARMS.
Some of the Qnror Superstitions Tha Lire la Sicily. The love charms of Sicily are mair and curious. One. very popular an considered very powerful, is to pi. Into an eggshell a few drops of th blood of the longing lover. The she is exposed to the sun for three day and to the dew for three nights. It I then placed on hot ashes until calcineo when the whole is reduced to a tint powder and administered secretly U. a cup of coffee or a glass of wine t'' the object of affection. Another charm is for the witch tf undress at midnight and tie her clothe up In a bundle which she places or. her head. Then, kneeling In the ceu
ter of her room, she pronounces an in cantation. at the end of which she shakes her head. If the bundle falls In front of her. it is a good sign; should it fall behind her, the charm will not avail. Yet another Is worked In the following manner: Pieces of green, red and white ribbon are purchased in three different shops, the name of the persons to be charmed being repeated mentally each time. The shopkeeper must be paid with the left hand, the ribbon being received In the right. When all the pieces are bouscht they are taken to a witch, who sets out to find the person to be charmed. On finding him or her the witch mutters to herself. "With these ribbons I bind you to such a one." Then she returns the ribbons to the purchaser, who ties them beneath his or her left knee and wears them at church. Macmil-lan's.
Dr. Charles McCutcheon, of Tacoma,
Wash., has long felt that the woods of
the Puget sound district are too silent
and need the songs of joyous birds to enhance their beauty. A year ago he bought a number of skylarks In Eng

and now he is going to make a similar

Questions relative to the right of
the state board of tax commissioners to tax the big interstate bridge companies of the southern part of the state are brought to the attention of the supreme court, in a brief filed by Henry M. Dowling, of the attorneygeneral's office. This case concerns the Louisville
and Jeffersonville bridge, which was
assessed by the state board of tax commissioners because of Its function as a railroad. It has been so assessed ever since It was built, in 1891, and no objection was ever urged before, as the brief shows. The assessment this year, however, was thought to be high by the company owning and operating the bridge, and suit was brought j
to enjoin the city of Jeffersonvllle from collecting its city taxes under the valuation that the state board made. The company got a temporary restraining order, and from this the city appealed to the supreme court. Two Grounds for Denial. The bridge company has two grounds for its denial of the right of the state board. In the first place, all bridges should be assessed locally, ac
cording to the company's contention;
and in the second place the state
board even though it had the right to;
make the assessment, had no right to ;
Import from the Kentucky side some
of the value of the Kentucky terminals and consider those terminals as part of the value of the Indiana side
of the structure.
In the brief. Mr. Dowling takes the
position that this bridge Is not a local bridge, but is, in fact, a railroad. The
bridge company is a railroad company
according to the brief. All of Its slock
is held by the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Big Four, according to the evi
dence. These roads T)unt tne Drmge
guaranteed its bonds, use the bridge for their own purposes, etc.
Mr. Dowling insists, too, that the
state board not only has the right to tax this bridge, but also has the right
to take into consideration the value of
the Kentucky terminals in making the
valuation of the Indiana side.
