SYLLABUS.
By the Court.
Allen, J.
L Where a shipper sues a railroad company
for damages to perishable freight, and alleges
In his petition that such shipment was made
to a point which is in fact beyond the line of
defendant's road, under a written contract, by
the terms of which it is expressly provided,
that the defendant snail not ne responsiDie as
a common carrier beyond its line of road. It is
error to render judgment against the defend
ant because of delays occuring beyond the
line of its road, where there Is no showing of
negligence on the part of the defendant, or of
any injury to the freight while in its posses
sion. 2. The annual report of the board of ra'l
road commissioners made to the governor is
not of Itself evidence of the facts therein
stated with reference to the ownership and
operation of a line of railroad, but the official
reports made by the railroad companies under
oath to the board of railroad commissioners,
and required by law to be filed with them, or
copies thereof duly certified by the secretaiy
of the board, are competent evidence against
the company making them.
All the justices concurring.

L, To reverse the judgment of a district
court refusing a divorce on the ground of i

it must also appear that such abandonment

W. S. Tough A Son, managers of the Kansas
City Stock Yards Uorse and Mule department '
report the market as opening up strong, and
prices remained firm until the last day of salo,
and as most of the shippers had filled out the
trading was a little slack and prices dropped
off a shade. The majority of the buyers were '
from the south. A great many came from Ar-;
kansas. They bought a little better quality -than
usual. There was a good eastern de
mand, but the supply of this kind was not
very great It is difficult to predict the future
during the coming season, and at best the
prospects are not very flattering, especially
when the southern trade lets up, which it will
do soon.

She Reads and Thiols.
To the Women TFfto Read the Advocate:
I waa wondering to-day how raaay
woman are interested in the Advocate,
and thinking how nice it wonld be if I
could sea thrm all, for I amsuisona
would not find them dnll company. I
can not tell the sister in this great
reform cause how much I would like to
take acme active part in the great work
which is to be done, but here, and now,
there eeema to be no opportunity, bo I
must remain aa quiet aa one can who
could not and would not check the flow
of thoughts, hopes and wishes which
ever throng the active mind of progress.
There may be others who, like myself,
are shut in or shut out from taking
active part until they too have come to
regret that they can do so little where
there is so much to be done. But let
us not be discouraged. There is a time
when the prophet's hands need to be
stayed, so while there remains ft wrong
to be redressed, even until right is
enthroned, the cause will need stay,
the stay of honest prayer, and surely
there is no higher prayer than honest
hopes and earnest desires of a geod
woman's heart. I am only a woman
whe cannot vote, but sisters, if I could
vote, the burning desires which 1
cherish would be less burning. Did you
ever think of that? And after all the
eilent inflaences are the moat powerful.
So if we can only think and hope, faith
ful to the end, we shall not only recieve
the crown (the right to vote some day)
but we shall have the satisfaction of
seeing established the condition of
things for which we bo earnestly prayed,
but could not vote. I have a scientific
knowledge of the fact that a thocght is
a something of power and it is well for
us to be careful not only of the charao
ter of the thoughts we entertain, but be
sure we do entertain some good ones.
I know you will all say with me, Ood
bless our Annie L. Diggs, and surely we
must make mention of our Linn County
Farmer and all the rest of our able
writers. I have most loving regard for
them all. I think there ought to be a
woman's column in the Advocatx. I
have always thought so, not that the
columns are not all good, and I consider
them all mine too. The other day I
heard the remark, "Oh, I wish I had
been here in the time of Jesui;" and I
thought, well, perhaps you would have
said amen, crucify Him, he is an odd
stick, a crank. Surely he is blind who
can not see that the ever present now is
the time for us to work; and there is
work to do, even though amid scoffs and
jeers the workers must toil on until all
eetabliahed wronga are righted; for just
so surely aa the light disperses darkness,
so surely must all greed and selfishness
be driven from the earth, and mankind
know and practice understanding the
teachings of the Christ, the fatherhood
of Ood, and the brotherhood of the race.
And then in that better time it will be
eeen that politics and religion are one in
the light rays of the sunshine of broth
erly love. Msny questions and vexing
problems cf political and local differ
ences will be answered and solved read
ily, lih n ever will fled as he ever has
found that for which he earnestly
searches. AH conceived gcod must and
will find and an expression; the princi
ple of good can not die, it is too red.
It has a baokar, inasmuch as it can not
be separated from its source, which is
God. Lot us then cherish the high&ft
hopes and loftiest idala for all human
ity and its future condition. I am read
ing "The Dad Line," and last week's
was so good that I eaid, "hurrah for
Slink Blackburn.' " Nellk L. Hall.
