He appeared some what despondent and one evening last week left the house on the pretention that he was going to the ta.’n. He was found next day at a straw stack and was almost perished with the cold and exposure. It is thought that a good vacation will restore him to proper health Francesville Tiibune.Two men have been tried for murder at Crown Point within a week and both found guilty and sentenced to death. Both men and their victims are foreigners. One is John Lapidat, who shot and killed Alexander Ureba, at Indiana Harbor, last August. The other Constantino Strath iropoulos, a Greek. A remarkable feature of his case was that the man he kill ed lived two two days with a large knife wound in his heart, and the heart preserved in alcohol was exhibited at the trial. There was nothing specially heinous in either murder, both being largely attributable to liquor, and it seems like the death penalty was too extreme a punishment in their cases.

Saturday night’s crowd was the largest of the whole two weeks, which shows what a good advertis ment the exposure of moral delinquencies is for a theater man. If the explosion among his wives ana substitute wives and would-be substitute wives had come a week earlier he would have got out of here with a whole bag full of money. band of Hostiles went on the w r ar path out in the Bad Lands, last night.

Monon Will Test Rate Law. Chicago, Nov. 23.—The Supreme Cuurt of the United States is to be asked to pass ujjon the question whether a railroad company can issue transportation in exchange for advertising in newspapers. A test case is to be made in Illinois, or rather an opportunity given to the Interstate Commerce Commission to have the courts pass upon their ruling that nothing but money canGawfully be received or accepted in payment for transportation.. Shortly after the new rate law went into effect the questieu arose as to whether a railroad could conissue transportation for newspapei' advertising. Ifncame before the commission and that held under the law only money could be accepted. The justice of this rul iug was not seen by the legal department of the Monon railroad, aud George Kretsiuger, general counsel, and E. C. Field, general solicitor, wrote to the Interstate Com neice Commission and gave their construction of the law backed by decisions of the courts. They said they had carefully considered the law before the promulgation of the rule, and under their construction of the law bad entered into contracts in good faith with publisheis.for the payment of such services agreed to pay a stated sum in transportation at a rate fixed by the Monon’s duly published tariff which in every instance was the exact equivalent of the agreed price for publication. -
