"Most unique'1 Is the comment of Law Notes on the method said to have been employed in fixing the jury which acquited Tllman, of South Car olina, of the murder of N. G. Gonzales, who was shot down in cold blood. In the judgment of South Carolina the unsavory Tillman was guilty of mur der, but nobody thought he would be convicted In tbe Tllmanlzed state. The method of getting a Jury was re markable. Before tbe trial a number of men representing themselves to be agents of a picture enlarging estab lishment went over the county osten sibly with tbe object of selling a large picture of members of the household. Tbe dozen men were lawyers In dis guise working in the interest of Tll man. Tney carried as a sample or their work an enlarged picture of Till man, who was in jail. They would not deal with women, hut insisted on talking with tha man of the bouse. The exhibition of the Tllman portrait led to a discussion of the Gonzales as sassination; the South Carolinians were questioned shrewdly about their feeling in the matter: the results were duly noted; the whole country was canvassed, and when the trial came on tbe counsel for tbe defense had a complete list of all the antl-Tilman-Ites and of all the Tllman sympa thizers. If a man was called from tbe jury panel who was against Tillman he was challenged or badgered Into an admission that he had disqualified himself by an expression of opinion, and the result was a jury box filled with persons whose Judgment could be accurately foretold.

Railroad Notes. "Bobby" Lake returned to work the first of the month. Foreman Shultz made a business trip to Fairbury Friday. The management thinks that the help at this place is costing about $150 per month too much and insists that our pay rolls be reduced to that extent un til business picks up. The Phillipsburg Store has one new "oustomer." It now 'sells" the Ohmer House kerosene by the barrell. Hereto fore the hotel has ordered its oil from headquarters. One of the big engines got off the rails one night this week. No damage was done except to delay No. 97 about four hours and tear up some Bide traok. The yard hero was blocked Sunday night so that No. 9 had to bo run in on a siding down by the coal chutes and held there until a long freight train oould be backed down the main and out to the lake. No. 9 got to the depot twenty minutes late. Frank Hain has returned from Iowa where bo was called on account of sister's illness. He was too late how ever, to see his sister alive, as she died in the afternoon of the day on which he left Phillipsburg. Tho Phillipsburg Store has become near enough to being and independent Store to be allowed a series of requisi tion numbers of its own; a convenience it has not known for a long time, Roy Wiley is again on his engine after quite an absence during which he was visiting in the east. Will Cummins spent two or three days in Phillipsburg this week. He has a regular run as brakeman between Fairbury and Uorton. John Boyle, an old time engineer and later train roaster, was shaking hands with the boys in Phillipsburg Monday evening and Tuesday morning. John has been sick for a long time and, while not yet well is gutting hotter and is able to travel about. Lew Ohmer has resighod his position as manager in tho Railroad Hotel and will leave Phillipsburg as soon as his successor has been appointed. We have not learned where Lew is going nor in what business ho expects to en gage but we wish him success wherover he may go. , Ed Cariniehfvel is on Biddison's en gine while Biddy is away having his eyes treated. One of the boys said a few days ago that while ho was waiting in the barber shop he picked up a copy of the Post and read the railroad notes and one of the items made him brace up, and he had felt better ever since. He also said that it was the only thing be ever saw in a dnmocratio paper that he thought did bim any good. Roosevelt And Wall Street. And now as to the few enemies In his own party that President Roose velt has possibly made in this matter: All of them are to be found within the narrow precincts of Wall Street. Tho responsibility for the organiza tion of the Northern Securities com pany rested solely upon theconfllctlng speculative Interests which, by the creation of that makeshift company, sought a way out of a grave dilemma into which they had plunged them selves. They were wholly responsible for their tight box. The President was responsible for the Sherman statute or at least for Its enforce ment. It was bis sworn duty to en force the constitution and the laws, the Sherman law Included. No blame rest on him, therefore, even from the Wall street standpoint. Whatever of distress may now come to those who were responsible for the Northern Securities merger, the blame for It rests upon no one but themselves. If they promise to tU'ht President Roose velt on Ibis Issue they will make tho fight alone, and will do themselves greater harm than will come to him or to the great political party that Is about to huiior h'.ia with tho prcklden 6th.
