Toledo. St. Louis and Western Railroad
Declares Its First Dividend cn
Preferred Stock
A recent issue of the Indianapolis
Star contains the following: ''The
declaration of an initial dividend on
the preferred stock of the Toledo, St.
Louis .S: Western road is said to be
justified by the earnings, which are
steadily increasing' month by month.
Those who are acquainted with the
situation state that the road has never
been handled with such ability and
economy as at the present time, and the
declaration of an initial semi-annual
dividend of two per cent is said to be
fully justified by the financial and
earning power of the road. The earn
ings for the first seven months of the
fiscal year were gross, $2,471,115; its
net, $631,793, so that in a little over
six months the road has earned almost
double the amount necessary to pay
a four per cent dividend ou the pre
ferred stock."
It will be remembered by some of
the older inhabitants that at one
time there resided in this city a man
by the name of G. IT. Ross, who was
connected with the old B. & M., when
the general headquarters were loca

of the Toledo, St. Louis Sc West
ern (Clover Leaf) railroad, with which
he has been connected for a number
of years. Mr. Ross his ascended the
railroad ladder with care, and has al

J. 1 Clements, another Platts
mouth boy, is connected with this
road, in the capacity of chief train
dispatcher, who has also been with
his company for several years, with
headquarters at Frankfort, Indiana.
Mr. Clements is a brother of our pop
ular W. C. Clements, and was reared
in this city, where not only Mr. Ross
but Mr. Clements also received their
first lessons in railroading.
For many years the Clover Leaf was
a losing proposition, but as the above
item indicates, it remained for Ne

MANGLED BY STALK GUTTER
A Farmer Near Elmwood Had One Limb
Almost Sayered From the Body
The EI rn wood Leader-Echo gives the
the following particulars of a terrible
accident that happened to John Buch
holtz, a farmer residing five miles
south of that place on Wednesday af
ternoon, April '2i The unfortunate
man had his left leg
bly mangled by the
cutter:
"lie was out in
stalks and one of
broken and terri
knives of a stalk
the lield cutting
the single trees
broke. Mr. Buchholz got off the ma
chine to unhook the traces, when the
team started to back, the lines being
drawn under the cutter. Mr. Buch
holz then ran behind the cutter to try
and loosen the lines, when he was
struck by the cutter and knocked over
backwards, the horses backing the
cutter onto his legs before he could
get them to stop. One of the cutter
knives cut a deep gash in his left ankle
joint, another knife striking his left
leg just below the knee cap, breaking
the bone, severing the tendon and cut
ting a very deep gash in the knee joint.
His right leg wa also cut some, but
not serious.
'After getting the horses stopped
Mr. Buchholz was able to get the lines
untangled, lift the knives off his legs,
and make the horses pull the cutter
away from him. He lay in the field
for some time before his sad plight
was discovered, when he was taken to
the house and Dr. Neeley hastily sum
moned, who dressed his wounds and
left him resting as well as could be ex
pected. "The doctor says there is great dan
ger of blood poisoning, owing to so
much dirt getting into the wounds.
Even should he succeed in saving the
limb, it will he stiff on account of the
tendon being severed .
"Mr. Buchholz has the sympathy of
the community in his trouble, which
has happened at the busiest time of
the year for a farmer, and all hope for
his early recovery."'

LAW TO BE TESTED IN COURT
Judge A. N. Sullivan Arrested for Accept
ing Annual Pass on M. P. Railroad
Out 'f Justice court Saturday
a warrant was issued for the arrest of
Judge A. N. Sullivan, charged with
accepting and using illegal transpor
tation oer the Missouri Pacific Rail
road. The defendant waived prelimi
nary examination and the case will
come up for hearing In the district
court at the coming term, which will
be within the next ten days.
The proceedings of this case is de
sired quite generally throughout the
state by the people and the railroads
as well. The only way to test the law
is by arresting some one, who it is thus
claimed are violating the statute. The
law prohibits local attorneys of rail
roads who do not devote the major
portion of their time to the services of
the road, from accepting free trans
portation. The railroads contend that
the local attorney, who renders them
professional services, pays for his
transportation in such services, al
though he lias a pass. They further
contend that they hold the right to
make such contracts with their em
ployes as may be agreed upon, and
that the transportation given is not
grautituous, but is based on a valuab
le consideration, and that such a con
tract is in strict harmony with this
state and United States, and any law
that attempts to infringe upon that
right is in violation of the constitution
of our state and the United States.
The law department of the different
railroads of the county are all agreed
that the supreme court of the state
and the United States, If necessary,
will in due form of law be requested
to pass upon this important matter.
Judge A.N. Sullivan was selected
as defendant by the law department
of the railroad on account of his long
connection with railroad litigation
and his intimate knowledge of the law
governing such corporations. The
suit is in one sense an amicable one,
the state and the defendant parties
being very anxious to have the mat
ter determined. As stated above the
case will be tried in the district court
within the next ten days, and an ap
peal will, of course, he taken to the
Supreme Court, either by the state or
defendant, and will be entered as the
State of Nebraska vs A. N. Sullivan.
This is the first suit involving the
validity of any of the acts of the past
legislature.

nose in the affairs of other villages.
The people of Lorton have been able
to take care of its affairs without the

Sheriff Quinton met the train, and af

Query Editor: Since the great
earthquake in San Francisco April
lth, i'JOi; it is claimed that the Earth
has moved seven thousand miles
farther south. What is your opinion
on the subject? R. Moolock, Tipton,
Missouri.
We don't know what your informant
means by "the earth has moved seven
thousand miles farther south." We
presume he means the earth has been
turned out of his orbit to that extent.
It is preposterous and there can not
be a bit of truth in it. The San Fran
cisco earthquake lias possibly as much
effect on the entire eartli as throwing
a small jackstone in a large lake would
have on the lake. You might as well
expect a small jack-stone to move a
large lake out of its place as the San
Francisco earthquake to move the
earth out of its orbit. Hick's Word
and Works.
Direct Road to Success.
The merchant who knows how to
cultivate a market has before him a
direct road to success. His own per
sonality and his standing in the com
munity are, of course, factors in the
building up of trade; but the controll
ing agency by which he may secure a
ready and paying market for his goods
is advertising. With a well conducted,
establishment, amply and conveni
ently stocked, a tradesman who shall
judiciously and regularly use the ad
vertising columns of a fully accred
ited newspaper may justly hope to
realize his most sanguine expectations.
The business announcements in a high
grade journal go out like trusty mes
sengers reaping needed information to
the purchasing public, whose custom
once secured, the shrewd merchant
may expect to retain. It pays to ad
