This will make the track almast a complete circle, aod it will prove to be tbe most attractive feature of the Fair Grounds. The sheds in front of the postoffice building have been torn down, and tbe room is far more habitable, is a result. Sheds in front of business houses are only found iu country towns, and are unmistak able signs of "yap" taste. But, some of tbe fellows who break into business in the country will iosist upon tbeir erection. No man who erects a handsome buildiugin 1891 will consent to build a shed, tor two reasons one of these is that in case of fire a shed interferes with the work of property savers. .

The improvements will make the city cemetery a creditable addition to the city's property. The suit of Chas. Pearson against the Monon railway company came up for trial last Thursday, the witnesses were here and all the preliminaries had been arranged for a trial. The suit was brought for loss of services and expenses entailed by the injury to Mrs. Pearson in the Smith ville wreck. A jury bad already given a verdict of $5,000 in Mrs. Pearson's favor for injuries, and before this trial bad fairly begun negotiations were entered into for a compromise. The result was that the Monon company agree to pay 750 to Mrs. Pearson, and withdraw tbeir appeal to the supreme court in the 5,000 verdict. This was a great relief to. the lady witnesses in the ease. Tbe attorneys, Dunn & Boruff, filed a lien on the S5.750 iudtrtucnt for their fee of , $1,500. The costs will be about 600, which tbe company must pay. Ed.

Bis position. des not make bio a. raemlwp of the association, or in any legal sense e, share lioldr, or entitled to receive any of the dividends or profits ot the association, further than tbe interest stipulated. The Attorney General replied that the owner of the certificate was merely loaning the money to the association, and bad taken its written promise tit to pay with interest j which amounted to, and was in fact, a note for money loaned. It was therefore subject to taxation, precisely the xnme as if he held the note of an individual to whom he bad made a similar loan. In caie of pavements made in advance, the Attorney-General said that the amount paid into the association, on or be fore tbe 1st day of April, including such advanced payment, should be returned for taxation, less the amount loaned to share-holder, upon mortgage security.
