SUPREME COURT DECISION THE MOODY CASE FROM RICH LA ND-RA1LR0AD CASE FROM EDDY COUNTY. The state supreme court has decid ed in the Sheriff Moody case from Richland county that the action of the lower court, Judge Glaspell pre siding for Judge Lauder, will not be reviewed on mandamus proceedings, and that the plaintiff has mistaken his legal remedy which is by appeal The mandamus proceedings brought by the attorney general against the district court requiring that court to hear the case and the chargcs of malfeasance against the slieriIf of Richland county, were therefore not heard. In an appeal case fro*n Kddy coun ty, of P. II. West, against the N. P. railway. Judge Glaspell's decision was reversed. The case is ot interest on the point of negligence of parties who may bo in.iured in railway acci dents. Plaintiff P. II. West brought suit to recover value of a team killed at a crossing The court says: 1. Failure to give tlio statutory ignals and running tlio train at too rapid a rate of speed does not excuse negiigeneo on the part of one in charge of a team killed at a railroad crossing. 2. Plaintiff's servant appoached a lailr ad crossing with which ho was familiar, with his horses on a trot, knowing that, a train was approach ing at a high rate of speed and very near to the cossing: that a view of the train was obstructed by buildings and cars from a point 127 feet back from the track until he arrived with in 8 feet thereof. But foi the r.oiso of his wagon, he could have heard the train in time to have avoided a collision with it. Under these cir cumstances, he was guilty of negli gence preventing a recovery, first: for attempting to drive in front of a rapidly moving tram in close proxi mity to the crossing, whereby .his team was struck and killed by the cars, and^second, for not stopping and thus quieting tlie'noise of .his vehicle and thereby enabling himself to hear the train berore getting upon the track in front of it.

JAPANESE ORATOR. To the average newspaper reader there is nothing at this time more interesting than something concern ing the Japanese nation and its peo ple. Half a century ago they were a people unknown to the other nations of the world. Commodore Perry took with him a splendid fleet when he sought to procure a port tre&ty with the nation. From that time to ithe present, with a progress that is without parallel in the history of the world, they Jhave sprung fiom semi barbarism to a place among the fore most nations of the world, and are now demonstrating to an astonished world the fact that as a naval and military power she is in the front ranks. While other nations which boasted of their war powers, were cringing before the powerful bluff, of tne Romanoffs, the Japs buckled on their amor and with an intrepid and daring unparalleled in the world's history since the days of heroic Greecc, smote him hip and thigh, until the cringing coward and brag gart roared for mercy and time to'get ready. The Devils Lake Chautauqua management recognizing this condi tion, and seeking to give its pat rons the best possible of every thing, proocured at an enormous cost, the celebrated Japanese minister and statesman, lyeuaga, to deliver two lectures on his country and people and the present war with Russia. He was tor many years minister of foreign affairs of Japan and personal ly conducted much of the preparaticn for the present war. He is an occidental as well as oriental scholar a brilliant and polished orator and will be a treat for all who hear him. ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.

Mrs. Wise is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Wise, who is taking in the World's Fair at St. Louis. He says that the fair is a show of stupendous proportions and almost beyond com prehension. lie was especially at tracted by the sights to be seen along "The Pike" and says that this place alone is most as good as a trip abroad as far as seeing the different people that inhabit this globe. They are here from all quarters of the earth in their native dress—and undress— and it is well worth a visit. He says that the various reports that are heard regarding the cost of seeing the fair may be depended upon ac cording to the ability that you may know the teller has for handling money and then he winds up by tell ing Mrs. Wise to get that buggy that they were looking at at the KurtzCo., warehouse so that they can have it to use during the carnival.
