Not for fifteen years have the rail- j
roads experienced such n disastrous j
twelve months' period as the one clos-1
ing Dec. .".I. The
down in railway history
year will go
as the worst
since the panic of lSttl'. and almost as
bad as the year 1S70.
i The railroads of the United States
j were compelled to see their gross rev
j enues decrease by at least $2l0.(HK.(ti'
I ami their net earnings lowered 'by at
j least $180. 000, (MX). Such a sudden drop
in the revenues of the railroads mces
j aarily crippled many industries besides
! that of manufacturing anil selling
j transportation. II is estimated that
j an army of at lease o.OoO.OOO people de
pends uimii the railroads directly for
its living and that a greater army of
fully 17,HH),000 is dependent directly
or indirectly upon railway activities for
daily bread. That this army was
j severely put to it to maintain itself
j during the year just closed, goes with-
ui ujwiK. i no economies wnicn me
railroads were compelled to effect sud
denly and without sentiment threw
fully 400,000 employes out of work.
This in turn necessitated reductions; in
the forces of factories and shops which
look to the railroads for the principal
portion of their business. Record-IIer-

Addresses the Presbyterian j
Brotherhood on Boy and
Girl Delinquents. '
Judge Lee Estelle, of Omaha adress- i
i ed the Presbyterian Brotherhood at the
! church Sunday evening, on the .subject
.children- delinquents. His. lecture was
.very entertaining, and instructive. Be
fore proceeding with hi lecture Judge
Estelle paid a fine tribute, to Judge !
Samuel Chapman, deceased, Judge ;
Chapman being one of the first! men in '.
Plattsmouth with, whom the speaker'
got acquainted,' and he referred to the
Judge Chapman's courage and fidelity .
with much feeling. The lecture deliver-;
ed by Judge Estelle was far out of the j
ordinary, his subject being in his daily j
work.. Many times during the discourse
so vivid were the Judge's portrayals, and
sq pathetic the objects of his decisions,
many eyes in his audience were moist.
The speaker wa3 of the opinion that
two of the most wholesome laws on our
statute books were the Childs labor law
and the law establishing the juvenile
court. The Judge says that society will
have to answer to the child that is
deprived of the chance of going to
school, and that society should support
the invalid mothers and helpless broth
ers and sisters, and allow the. boy and
girl a chance to go to school. That
many children needed less mathematics
and more love of the beautiful instilled
into their natures.
The sneaker said that the system was ,
wrong that did not build character, and
that an education that did not make
character is a menace. The lecture was
full of pathos and touching incidents of
human frailties which had come under
the Judge's observation, and was one
to the hearts of his listeners, more
than any the writer has heard for a
number of years.

and the motion sustained as to the s c
ond cause of action, on which the ver
dict was for $7.rtH) and the verdict si t
aside. Further time was given the par
ties until Saturday evening at 7 o'clock
to present authorities on the- motion
touching the first cause of action. The
verdict on the first cause of action was
. , , . , . . r. ,
$r,000 based on slander while the .,. 0
' ,
based on malicious arrest. Saturday j
evening Judge Sullivan, A. L. Tidd ,
and Matthew Gcring-appeared for the;
plaintiir and Byron Clark for tho de
fendant and submitted arguments to
Judge Travis on the instruction in
which defendant claimed there was an '
error, while the plaintiffs counsel as j
stoutly maintained that there was no j
error, and the verdict should stand.
Judge Travis took the matter under I
advisement until this morning when he !
handed down his decision sustaining the
motion for a new trial on the second
cause of action, setting aside the ver-1
diet for $7,.r00 and granting a new
trial. On the first cause of action the j
court found there was evidence suffi
cient to sustain the verdict and ordered
a judgment entered for the sum of
$3,000.
Farmer's Institute.
On the first of January the Cass
county Farmer's Institute closed a two
days session in this city. The meetings
were fairlv attended considering the
season and the many attractions in t he j
city to draw the farmers away from
the meetings. The speakers were of
more than ordinary ability this session
and with the exception of the night
session on the first day, they were all
present to fill their dates. The talk of
Mr. Eldridge the road expert was
practical and gave the farmers new
ideas relative to securing the best of
attention to the roads. In about
twenty states Road Commissions are
formed in the state, which looks after
the roads question. The commission is
represented by local superintendents in
the counties, who report to the county
commissioners and thus an organized
body of men are entrusted with the
work, and good results always follow.
The Farmers institute promises to do
many good things for the farmers and '
a better meeting is being planned for
next year. i
