SCOTT'S WONDROUS RECITAL Tells nn "Old tlcnth" Yarn to the Police Judge , MAIN FACTS BDRNE OUT BY EVlDiNC I'lnii to Holt n MIMMinUcr 'I'mIn 1'allN llfCIIIIHC ( till * Of tllP ItotlllCIN \\VnhoiiM mill ' 1'i'lN tin 111 * PnrtniTM. In the police court > (8tcrday Joe Scott gave testimony connecting Sun DoitRln' with nn apparently well laid plan to hold up n Milwaukee tnlii nnd rob the express cat. Scott eat In the witness chair and for half an hour cnvc minute details of the plans hat had been originated by Douglas and Vijnk Andrews to perpetrate a bold and Uiat might have been a successful train obbery while the train was passing be- ween Omaha and Council IlluITs. Scott's etory came out while ho was glv- ng his testimony against Douglas , who \&a charged with assaulting Scott with In- cnt to kill him on Thursday night. Douglas has recently become a brother-'n- ' aw of Scott by marrying Miss Mow cry , Ister of Scott's wife. Scott lives In the outhern pirt of the city and spends his Ime fishing In Lake Manawa and the river. Jouglas has been living with him and fol- owtng the same vocation. Scott'a story is 0 the effect that a week or two ago Douglas > cgan to talk to him about making money n a great deal easier way thau catching Ish. Ho began to suggest various mcthodi of making a raise by tinning footpad and committing burglaries , and finally began to llscuss the plan of holding up the Milwaukee rain between Omaha and Council Blurts. Scott tajs Douglas explained to him how easy It would bo to rob the express car \hlle It was on the bridge. Ho was veiy cautious In outlining his plins until he bought he had Scott Interested. Then he old him that he had all arrangements made md only wanted one more man to do the- ob A day or two after Douglas brought 'rank Andrews over from Omaha and In- reduced him to Scott as the second man , and the two discussed the pioposed plan at great length. PLANS FOR THE JOB. The plan was that all three should board .ho express car Just as It was pulling upon the bridge and tllmb ob the roof. Douglas and Andrews were to provide themselves , Uth rope ladders , which they would attach ; o the roof of the car and each drop simul taneously down Into thu open doors of the express car and hold up the messenger. Scott's duty was to stand on top of the car 1 ml Intimidate the train crew If their at- : entlon was attracted. The money was to jo thrown out of the car after the train lad crossed the bridge and then all tbiec wcro to take their chances In Jumping from the moving train , gather up the spoils and run to a skiff that war to bo In waiting and ; iaddlo down the river. They were to keep in the boat until they reached the Inlet to Manawa , where they would "plant" the moiiej , set tbo boat adrift In the river and quietly resume their vocation as fishermen at Manawa until the excitement had died down. They would bo able to prove , In case any suspicion arose connecting them with the crime , that they were all at Manawa at the time and the drifting boat , which would probably bo caught at some point down the river , would help to divert suspicion. Scott testified that all the details for the crime- had been perfected. Tno rope for the lad ders bid been stolen from Colonel Heed's pavilion and was found by the officers at Scott's house properly piepared The boat was provided and tied to the willows at a point not far south of the Union Pacific bridge Douglas and Andrews had familiar ized themselves with the operation of the trains and the habits of the messengers on the run between the two cities , and had also ascertained the amount of money carried on various trips. Scott says ho did not be lle vo the men werc in earnest until all of the arrangements were completed , and then ho told them that ho would not be a party to It. The job was to be done on Wednes day evening. On Thursday night Douglas went to Scott's house for the purpose of Killing hlnir and would have succeeded If uls revolver bad been In good shooting condi tion. tion.So So far as the officers Investigated j ester- day every portion of Scott's story was veri fied. The ropes to bo used were found to havu been cut from the pavilion at Manawa and they were found where Scott eald they were cpncealed. The boat was also dis covered whcro Douglas and Andrews bad con cealed it. Douglas and Andrews were given a thirty- day sentence In the county Jail on the charge of disturbing the peace. of AVoril limiting. An Illiterate old lady who wcs once found pouring over a dictionary was asked her opinion of It. "It's a very fine book , " she- replied , "and there ore many grand words In 't , but I can't eee where the story comes In ! " Uven to educated people a dictionary Is excessively dry reading and they seldom glance at It except to iccull a forgotten spelling or definition. It Is very different with that wonderful refeienco work , "Tho Now llevlscd Encyclopedic Dlctlonaiy , " where not only the orthography and mean ings of a v.orcl are given , but 1U etymology to the remotest source and Its transitions of spelling and application down through the literature of our tongue fiom century to century , CH well as all Its synonyms , com pounds and equivalents. Thus we have the full history of the word and often Ha ro mance and poetry , and Instead of the dic tionary being tedious or rcpellant tbo study of It Is attractive even to fascination. We arc also tn thla work enabled to see the anomalies of the language and how they originated or grew out of usage , thus ex plaining the contradictions that caused a rhraster to warn us : "Hut remember though box , In the plural la boxes , Tlio plural of ox Should ho oxen , not axes ; And remember though lleece In the ii'iiral Is llee'CCH Thiit the plural of geese Isn't gooses nor geeses ; And luiumbcr though house In thu pluinl Is houses , That the plum I of mouse Should bo mice nndjiot mouses. " These name verbal contradictions are vvhal bet a farmer to wonder : "Putting nil ivportn together HolntliiK to burley. wheat uiul hops Whether the crops will vveiithcr the weather Or the weather will crop the crops. " Hut all these are explained In the word studies of the New Revised Rncjclopedlc Dlctlonaiy which besides contains many more topics of cyclopedia character than the "llrllannlca , " and many thousands of words moio than the Century. It should be borne In mind that this edi tion that the Midland Is offering Is the very latest edition revised to January , 1897 , con taining inich words aa "popocrat , " etc. Tbo Midland Monthly also has a great educational adjunct , which te being given free at the present time In connection wltli tbo Hncvclupedla Dictionary , and which will be fully explained to thobo who will fill up and mail the coupon In the largo advertise ment , finch great Interest has been manifested In this great offer of the Midland , and so many Inquiries received , that It will require a short tlmo before wo can send particulars to all Inquirers , ei > that In cese of a few dajs' delay vvo truut our friends will bear with us.

Ccuncll DECIDES FOR THE SHIPPER 'owa Supreme Court Benders an Important Railroad Decision , COMMISSIONERS' RATES NOT BINDING Only ItitcituVil an Prlniii 1'nclc Uon- Konnlitp anil Ma > litSlumu to He I'vecHnttu anil I'rolilli- ltl\c of Trnlllc. DCS MOINBS , la. , May 22 ( Special Tele gram ) The supreme court today handed down an Important railroad decision , holding that the maximum rate fixed by the com missioners are not necessarily lo bo assumed as reasonable , and that in the event unrea sonable rates arc charged , even It It be shown that they are the commissioners' rates , the shipper who is overcharged may recover damages In trlplo tbo amount of the overcharge. The case Is J. A. Barrls & Co. against the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy railroad. Barrls & Co. of Council Bluffs shipped largo quantities of sand to Crcston prior to July 20 , 1S93. On that date the commissioners , after a hearing , derided that the old ralo on sand , although It was the commissioners' rate , was excessive and prohibitive. A lower rate was put In and Uarrls & Co. sued to recover the dlflcicnco between the old excessive rate and thu now 3tic. The lower court held that the rate jolng the commissioners' schedule there could bo no recovery. The supreme court leverses this It holds thab the commission ers' rates are only pilmt facie reasonable , and that If It can be shown by evidence that the rates areIn fact excessive nnd pro- lilblllvo of traffic the shipper may recover. Uarrls & Co. showed that the difference be tween the rates they psid and the leason- able rate established after the hearing was $313 38. The supreme court declares that they are entitled to recover In three times this sum. Iho Importance of the case lies In the fact that It sustains the right of the shipper to lecover for overcharges , even If the charges wcro given color by the fact that they wcro within the maximum fixed by the commis sioners. It means that In all probability an Immense amount of litigation will be com menced to recover for alleged overcharges The commissioners bay the decision merely sustains the action of the legislature In re fusing to give the commissioners power to absolutely ll\ rates The power to IK maxl- inutna was given Instead The federal supreme premo court decisions sustain the view of the Iowa court. Appeals from the rates may betaken taken tn court , Independent of the commis sioners or o their rates. Itcil Oak Crailuatliiff CiaoH. RED OAK , la. , May 22.
