Wo learn that the child Is n rcKltimato child and was brought here by Us mother , who suffered untold agony In leaving It , though her real reason for so doing we have not thus far been able to discover. But wo have every evidence that It was duo to some great calamity that hod befallen the family. We have no per sonal acquaintance with the mother , though wo learn she Is a woman of beautiful char acter and doubtless felt that It was for her child's best good to leave It with us. We feel It to bo our duty and privilege to care for the little stranger since wo learn that she hopes again to have her child with her. The fallior nnd his family are well known to us both ; their home Is In an eastern state , where they are well and highly es teemed. For the baby's sake ns well as for the parents wo withhold the names of all parties. Ailanm County Crop Proniicptn. HASTINGS , Neb. , Juno 17.

Mr. Lockwood declared that thlo com pany had driven the Independent rclincrleu into bankruptcy and servitude , and he de nounced the course pursued In severe terms. Ho held the railroads especially responsible for this condition of affairs. Going back to 1872 he referred at length to a contract made by the trunk lines of Pennsylvania with the South Improvement company. Un der this contract ho said the freight rates on oil were doubled and half the amount collected was pild back ns rebate not only this , but the contract company received a llko rebate of the shipments of all other companies. This contract , he declared , had been secretly continued by the railroads with the Standard Oil company. Ho quoted A. J. Cassatt , the new president of the Pennsylvania rallioad , as testifying before the Interstate Railway commission to the effect that while the open rate to the public was $1.90 per barrel , the rate to the Standard company was SO cents. Further Investigation , said Mr. Lockwood , had developed the fact that the railroad companies actually received only 35 cents. This condition of affairs had re sulted for a time , according to the witness , In giving the Standard company a profit of 400 per cent , while the Independent refineries were being driven rapidly Into bankruptcy. Mr. Lockwood was free In the use of epithets , characterizing both the oil company and rail road officials as highwaymen and brigands. f'allN Tht'iii HnlilicrH. "If you hnvo got to bo robbed , " ho ex claimed , "It does not matter much whether you are held up by Dick Turpln with a pistol or by John Rockefeller with a rnllroml , which Is robbery all the same. " Ho said that the men who had carefully examined the testimony taken before the Hepburn commit tee estimated that In ISO months' tlmo the five truck lines of Pennsylvania paid the Standard company $11,000,000 $ In rebates. The railroad onmpmilps had , ho said , completely Ignored the order of the Industrial State commission to stop their discrimination In favor of the Standard company , resorting Instead to the system of faleo billing. Speaking of the remedy for the ovll Mr. Lockwood said It was In public ownership of the railroads and not to bo found In courts thn courts were too slow and expensive. "Tho railroads and the oil company can rnzoo a man up and down In the courts for ten years , " ht said , "until he Is ruined , and then go on with their work , leaving their vl tlm stranded. As a coward the combines olovnto their Instruments to higher places politically. Thus Is was that the thought of the common people was gradually becoming fixed to the effect that the great railway combines wore gradually packing the supn-mo courts with men In sympathy with their monopolistic tendencies and who would do their bidding. Thus the Interstate commerce law was ren dered Ineffective. " "If the railroad companies can control the appointment of the attorney general and Justices of the supreme court , what do they care for the law ? " the witness asked. Tbo only safe plan , said Mr. Lockwood , was to take the railroads out of the hands of the corporations and place them under control of the government , so that every man could go to market as cheaply as every other man. Ho considered all the railroads of the country as practically ono In the trust , and asserted they were In control nf politics , contributing millions to elect leg islators , senators and judges and to punish those not willing to do thrlr blddlnj ; . With absolute equality over the roads , the indc- cause of his action In what is known as the "Matthews caso" a proceeding of the rail road combination against the Independent refiners. Ho afterward said that while con vinced the facts were as he had stated , ho tiad not actually sren the fund , nnd there fore the statement was nn Inference only. HlllKht Kind * n Defender. At this point Mr. Farquhar of the com mission rose to protest against the charac ter of the testimony , saying that Judge Halght wns his next door neighbor and ono of the purest men ho bud ever known. He had never before heard an Imputation upon 1 Is character. Ho appealed to Mr. Lockwood to have the statement stricken out of his testimony. "Tho statement , " ho Bald , "was not testimony , but It was pure libel. " Mr. Lotkwood said that ho also know Judge Halght and that ho had been Mir- prUcd nt the apparent development. Tlio Ipsuo'had been ralsrxl in the campaign nnd ho understood that ho ran behind his ticket. After a few general remarks by n few others of the commission ns to the advisa bility of striking out the entire statement , CongrcFsman Hell arose nnd made n vigor ous protest against the proposition to eliminate any of the testimony. It was not , ho said , tde province of the commission to tell a witness what he must nay. He said ho had noticed that some members of the commission were very sensitive when something was said which did not entirely fall In with their predilections. It was per fectly competent for any man coming hereto to entertain opinions upon any of these subjects and to advance Idem or criticise public olllclalH. In this connection ho said Governor Larrnbco of Wyoming had said that there were two judges on the supreme court bench who were put thcro for the purpose of securing the nullification of tbo Granger law. Ho also Instanced other cases In which tlio railroads had ( secured the ap pointment of judges whoso sympathlns were with ttiom. If this were so. Bald Mr. Hell , why should a man bo barred from saying so ? And If the commission wore not golni ; to permit such testimony ho would bo com pelled to euy when It come to making the report of the commission dial It had not been nonpartlHan. As another Illustration of the manipulations on the part of the rullroadH , ho quoted a republican member of the congressional postal commission as saying that Its proceedings would como to naught because the second assistant post master general , who bus charge nf these mutters , Is In sympathy with the railroads. A man wan not sacred , ho declared , bccauso of the place ho occupied , and If a judge on tlii ( bench Is clovatud to his position by devious means It was not the duty of the commission to screen him. Former Congressman Phillips , presiding , lit'lil that the testimony wns competent. In his statement before Iho commission yesterday , President C. E. Dowo of the Commercial Travelers' association submit ted figures to show that the organization of the trusts hid resulted In throwing 35,000 salesmen out of employment and In i educing the salaries of 25,000 more. Ho estimated that tlm annual loss to the tales men on account of loss of employment and reductions aggregated $60,000,000 ; to the hotels , $28.000,000 , and to the railroads $27- 000,000 , because- the loss nf patronage.
