An assessment upon abutting property of the cost of street improvement is held in King vs Portland, Ore. 55 L. R. A. 812, to be properly upheld whenever it is not patent and obvious that the plan or method adopted has resulted in imposing a burden in substantial e.rcess of the benefits, or disproportionate within the district as between owners. Land within the boundaries of a street as shown on a plat tiled in the clerk's office under the provisions of the law incorporating" a town, which declares that the plat shall be conclusive evidence of the street boundaries in all future suits and contests that arise concerning them is held in McCiellan vs W. Va., 55 L. R: A. 69S, not to re subject to adverse possession as against the town." A statute provides that any person who shall carry from place to place any goods, etc., offering the same for sale, or who carries a wagon, cart or buggy to exhibit or deliver goods, is a peddler. Held, that one who traveled on foot, making sales by samples, afterwards delivering the goods, traveling on foot, not using a wagon, cart or Duggy in any manner, was L.ot a peddler and could not be convicted of peddling without a license. South eastern Rep. (North Carolina, Judge Clark) 785. A Good Warm Weather Sermon. A good warm weather text and ser mon was recently delivered by a Methodist minister in a Michigan town. The day was very hot and several members of his' congregation urged the preacher to cut his discourse short and this is how. he did it. Text, Luke 16:24: And he cried and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for 1 am tormented with flame.'" The sermon. 'Three persons, Abraham, Dives, Lazarus. It was hot where Dives was. He did not like it. He wanted to set out. So do we. Let us pray." That certain ly takes the palm for a weather dis course. i The Reason for It The Bible, Proverbs xxii, 29, says Seest thou a man diligent in his busi ness? He shall stand before kings." This will account for Mrs. Mackay, wife of the bonanza king, receiving messages of sympathy fromJKicg Edward and President Roosevelt. It will also apply to Marconi, who, the other day, was hobnobbing miih the czar of Russia and the Emperor of Germany.

FIGHT III THE COURTS

Attracts Most Attention in the Matter of the Great Anthra cite Coal Strike. TALK ABOUT IMPEACHING A JUDGE Mitchell Disclaims Knowledge ol Such a Move Stock of Hard Coal Is Very Short. Chicago, July 23. Legal proceed ings now in court and promised form at the present time the most interest ing feature of the great coal strike situation. A dispatch from Indianapolis on Saturday said: "The United Mine Workers may try to obtain the Impeachment of Judge Jackson, of West Virginia. Th plan of action is not definitely outlined, but 'it is probable that the impeachment proceed ings will be begun soon, if Judge Jack son, after a final hearing, rc "fuses to dissolve the injunction. Secretary "Wil son admitted today that the miners contemplate this course and that a complete transcript of the case, including the complaints and Judge Jackson's decision, will be prepared for submission to President Koosevelt and the senate." Mitchell Does Not Know. On the other hand a telegram from Wilkesbarre, Pa., says that when President Mitchell was asked whether it was true that the United Mine Work ers had employed counsel for the purpose of Impeaching Judge Jackson, of uest Virginia he replied that he had heard nothing of such a move. Hut whether this is done or not the West Virginia fight in the courts Is raging with vigor and promises to occupy attention for some time and make a lot of history on the matter of so-called government by Injunction." Another Judge Hearing Injunction Cases. At Charleston, W. Va., Saturday the contempt cases of District President John Richards and others were begun before Judge Keller. Attorneys for Richards sought to test the jurisdic tion of the court. The original injunc tion was issued against National Secre tary Wilson and others, non-residents of the state, so as to give "diverse residency to the complainants and thus invoke proceeding in a federal court. Richards and those arrested with him claimed to have been served as original defendants in the bill under the terms "unknown persons acting as agents, confederates, associates, etc." If this point were allowed, having established their Identity as defendants they would have moved to quash because of their citizenship being the same as that of the complainants. Jude Keller Makes a Ruling. Judge Keller refused to consider the point, holding that the merits of the bill in equity were not under consideration, but that this was a trial for contempt of the orders of the court, the violators having previous knowledge of the injunction. The court held, however, that if the complaining coal operators fail to prove a confederation In which those charged with contempt are involved with the original defend ants, then the contempt proceedings will fall. It seems that the defense will plead that it was the men at work who were disorderly and provoked the strikers. All the points will probably go to a higher court. HABEAS CO It PCS PROCEEDINGS They Are ?o He Pushed-AVh.it the Miners Expect to ProvtJ. Indianapolis. July 2S. At the Mine Workers national headquarters it is announced that no time will be lost In pushing the habeas corpus proceedings for the release of members of the organization arrested under the edict of Judge Jackson. Secretary Wilson explained another point in the miners case on which they will base their claim to be set free. According to WII son not one of the men arrested was proved to have made any speeches, inflammatory or otherwise, after Judge Jackson s restraining order was issued "The injunction was issued on .1 ine 10,' said Wilson, "and the meeting complained of was held the next night. 'Mother Jones was the only speaker, and none of the men arrested said a word publicly to the miners. The only thing proved against thera was that they applauded the remarks of 'Moth er Jones. They were arrested the mo ment the meeting was over, so that they had no chance to speak if they had wanted to do so. I do not see how men can be committed to jail for such a trivial offense as this, and I believe the habeas corpus proceedings will set them free." No charges will be filed against Judge Jackson, Wilson says, until the habeas corpus suits have been decided, Secretary Wilson was at national headquarters for a short -time yesterday, No effort was made to attend to the mall, hpwever, although many letters which were known to contain money had arrived. "We have always made it a rule not to transact any financial business on Sunday." Secretary Wil son said, "and we will not begin to do so now, even though it does give us much additional work on Monday to maK? up the accounts." IMPORTANT FACT IS NOTED Steck of Hard Coal Getting Mighty Low, a Test for the Operators, Indianapolis, July 28. United Mtne Workers' officials believe the actual crisis In the anthracite coal strike will come within the next two weeks. The real test of the strength of the oner ators will come, it is believed, when the supply of hard coal in the market is complete) exhausted. This sltua tlon promises to develop, it is thought within two eeks at the outside, and probably within a verv few dnvs. Thp shipments of coal from the anthracite nem, as snown by the latest statistic, arc already over 11,000,000 tons short or last year. v A shortage existed In the anthracite market even before the strike was inaugurated, and with the shipments cut off absolutel by the tie-up the supply on nana cas practically been exhausted. With the constant demand for hard coal a few days at the most, It Is estimated, will leave the eastern mar ket absolutely barren. This will mean the true test of the unity of the operators, it Is thought Whether they will De anie to resist the demands that will be made on them from manufacturers and the nubile generally is the ones tlon. Will not some of the ODerators weaken when they see soft coal beinz shipped in to supply a big part of the market? xnis is another question that must be answered, u. M. W. officials say. BOLD DEED OF TOE STRIKERS They Cap tare a Man to Foree Ulm to LeaTe Tables Turned Escape. Tamaqua, Pa.t July, 23. Saturday

evening about fifty strikers captured William Eagnn, a Lehigh Coal and Navigation company brakeman, and made an attempt to march him out of the region. When they reached a point near Mauch Chunk they were met by about twenty deputies armed with Winchester rilies. At the point of their puns the officers marched the men to a train which was in waiting and took them to Lansford. When they arrived there a large crowd of strikers gathered about the train and made a .leinonstration. The deputies surrounded the prisoners and, keeping the crowd back by leveling their guns at them, took up the march to the jail. About 8 p. m. the deputies made an effort to take the prisoners to the office of a justice of the peace. When they reached the principal part of the town the crowd pressed in and the prisoners made a dash for liberty, all but seventeen of them making their escape. DR.

In 18T his parents removed to Iowa, and his education was continued there under the tutorship of Rev. II. K. Edson. of Denmark academy.

HADES AMD LAFAYETTE

Tetty Much of the Same Sort According to the Pentecost Bandmaster. SEOT THAT BUILDS NO CHURCHES Another Brutal Case of Whitecappinga Woman-Death of an Air- . ship Inventor. Lafayette, Ind., July 28 The Pen-tx-ost bands of the world are holding their International conference and camp meeting near this city. The curlous sect has thousands of followers, but not a single edifice for their pecu liar worship. Thwre are 4.""0 or O0 missionaries and workers here from all over the world. Friday night there was an attendance at the grove of about 3,000 people. The meeting was conducted by T. II. Nelson, head of the bands. Nelson excoriated Lafay ette as a wicked, iniquitous "hell hole and said the people were walking more and more in the paths of sin and wickedness. Tough Town, Lafayette," Says Nelson. "Your town belongs to the devil," he said, wildly addressing the big crowd. "You have forgotten the Christ and live ungodly ways. You came out here to look on, and you deride our worship. Curiosity brings you here. Your souls are not moved by the holy worship in this, God s tabernacle. You think we are crazy, but I thank God for our insanity, If that's the case." Sort of Intensified Wesleylsm. The Pentecost bands represent one of the most peculiar and interesting uoctrlnes known. The creed is that of John Wesley, with a sterner belief as to the mode of dress and manner of worship. The old-time Wesleyan Methodists believed in erecting a temple of worship, but the Pentecosts believe that God gave them the woods for a sanctuary and the skies for a roof. Nelson Directs the Work. The headquarters of the bands is at Indianapolis, where The Pentecost Herald Is printed. Thomas II. Nelson has supreme charge. The direction of the work is done by him, and stations with designated heads and leaders are Instituted where the faith has a strong following.

PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS 4 -::!:-: i-i-h-h-x-: : i -m-m-h-The latest thing out is a circus trust, formed at a meeting of several of the "grcatest-on-earths" held in Detroit. The way to strike at the vitals of this conspiracy against the American people, according to the Hon. William F. Vilas, who has just entered the reorganized Democracy by the tariff reform route, is to take the tariff off of circuses. The state tax commission has been holding sessions for the benefit of those who feel that an Injustice has been done them by local officials in the matter of apraisements for taxation. For the most part these sessions have been taken up with the pleadings of representatives of large corporation, all of whom plead poverty, despite the prosperity prevalent throughout the state. Governor Durbin has been the object of some criticism because of bis expressions of Incredulity concerning' the depressed value of corporate holdings, and the disposition he and his colleagues on the board have manifested to take these representations with a liberal allowance of salt. The Marion Chronicle expresses an opinion practically universal among tax-payers when it says: "The peopla stand with Governor Durbin in his demand that the corporations of Indiana pay their share of (he taxes.' So long as he is conservative, reasonable, fair and careful In guarding the people's Interests, we must stand with him and encourage him In the good work. There Is a general belief that the governor Is right There Is a feeling that the corporations have not paid their share of taxes. They plead today for Immunity for one year from a raising of valuations by the tax commissioners. Their pleas are pitiful," Indeed. But Governor Durbin takes the position that the rise, which the corporations 'admit will be Just in a year from now, should be made at ence. The governor has the hearty tacking of a large part of the population in his fearless position. He is not only courageous and apparently right in this Instance, but he has shown in many ways a conservatism, economy and care of the state's revenues and the people gladly admit his efficiency and praise his policy." A Time of Vigilance There Is no uneasiness In the Indiana Republican camp. The sentries are out, and the officers and men are alert. That means rlctory, especially since the enemy is weak in storming breastworks. Eransvllle JouraalNewa. ' . v
