Every proprietor of land through
which flows a stream of water has q
right to the use of the water flowing
in its natural channel, without diminu.
ton or obstruction, and this is equally
true of water which flows in we'll
defined and constant streauf in q sub
terranesn channel. But it need not
flow continually; it may at times be
dry, but it must have a well-de6ned
aud subterranean existence.
The interference of equity vests on

in question, and an injurious inter-
ruption of this right, which, upon just
and equitable grounds, ought to be

Frank E. Bronson, the Oberlin drug
gist, is after his prosecutors with sharp
sticks. He has sued E. J. Phillips, A.
G. Morse, Israel A. Webster and Giles
w. Shurtlilf for malicious prosecution,
laying his damages at $4,000. 1t seems
that some of the prohibitionists of that
town hired boy to procure bottle of
whisky and represent that he had OBJ
tained it of Bronson. The lad obtain
ell the liquor somewhere out of town,
toal< it to the drug store of Rowland &
Bronson, where he obtained bottle
into which he put the liquor, and
which he gave to the parties who hired
him, stating that he got the bottle
from Bronson. The parties sued are
charged to have procured tho arrest of
Bronson on the charge of selling in
toxicating liquor to minor. But
when the boy was put upon the wit
ness stand he stated the facts in regard
to the obtaining of the liquor and en-
tirely eXOnerated Bronson from blame
i'll the matter. He was thereup0n
discharged and has commenced suit
against his prosecutors for damages.

Jesse jam es Shot.

81. JOSEPH, Mo, April 3.-A great
sensation was created in the city this
morning, by the announcement that
Jesse James. the notorious bandit and
train robber, had been shot and killed
here in st. Joseph. The news spread
with great rapidity, but most people
received it with doubts, until investi-
CATION established the fact beyond
question. Then the excitement be-
came more and more intense, and
crowds of people rushed to that quar-
ter OF the city where the shooting took
place, anxious to view the dead body
Of the outlaw and learn the particulars.
In q small frame shanty in the
southeast part Of the city, on the hill,
not far from the Worlds Hotel, Jesse
James had lived, with his wife, since
some time in November last. Robert
aud Charles Ford, two of his gang,
have made their headquarters at his
house Charles, it is said, has lived
with him in that shanty ever since
| November. Robert arrived about ten
days ago, and the three have been
making preparations for raiding eX-
pedition. Oh which they were to start
tonight. James and the two Fords
being in the front room together about
/ $ this morning, the former took off his
belt and laid his pistols on the bed,
preparing to wash himself, when Rob-
ert Ford sprang up behind him and
sent bullet through his brain. The
bail entered the back of his head at the
( base of the right brain, coming out
over the eye. The Ford brothers at
once made known what they had done
and gave themselves up. They are
now under guard at the Court house.
The body of Jesse James was conveyed
to an undertakers, where it was ere
pared for burial, and where a photo
graph was taken. James wife had
telegraphed to his mother the news of
his death. 4 number OF men have
identified the body. and there is no
question about IL being Jesse James.
A Herald reporter viewed the body
at the undertaker's when it was being
| photographed. He was fine looking
man, apparently forty years old, with
a broad forehead, and his physiegnomy
was that of an intelligent as we'll as a
resolute and daring man. The house
where James lived and in which he
was killed, has the appearance OF an
armory. A number OF guns and pis-
tolls, including a repeating rifle, nee
die gun, navy revolvers, with a good
store of ammunition were found there
Jesse was i'll the habit of wearing
two belts with brace of very fine re-
volvers and twenty-five extra car
tridges.
In a small stable near Ky were dis
covered several fine horses, the proper
ty OF James. The Ford brothers claim
that they are detectives, aud that they
have been on James track for a long
time. 1t is believed they were witt
James i'll the Blue Cut robbery an(
that they were Influenced in killing
him by the hope of getting the big re-
ward which has been offered for James
dead or alive, by the Governor and by
the express and railroad companies.

AN exchange, of the Republican

AN exchange, of the Republican
persuasion, in discussing the Pond act
says:
Like every other business conduct
ed in the State, the liquor traffic must
now pay its share of the public bur-
dens. Nothing, on its face, could be
more righteous than this. A liquor
dealer has the same public benefits and
conveniences arising from the eXpend-
iture of public monies, that the dry
goods dealer or the newspaper publish
er has. Equally with them, then,
should he contribute his share to the
public revenues"
True, true; equal taxation is the rule
in all just governments. Every citi-
zen should be required to pay his just
proportion according to his wealth for
the protection which the government
affords him. Equal taxation by uni
form rules, equal rights and equal
privileges to all, special privileges to
none, have ever been the motto of the
Democracy. But who can say that
this principle is recognized in the Pond
law? Have not the men engaged in
the liquor traffic always been taxed, 80
far as State laws are concerned, by the
same rules and to the same extent as
other citizens, while under the Federal
authority they have furnished much
larger proportion of the national reve-
nue than any other class of citizens
And now is it not most manifest vio-
lation of every principle of equality to
require them to pay the tax imposed
by this act, which is required of those
engaged in no other business, and for
which they receive no privilege and no
| pretense of protection? Equal taxa
ton, forsooth!

In the Pacific Mills, at Lawrence,
Mass, ninety seven Thousand spindles
are deserted by the spinners, and nine
hundEed looms imperative. The num-
Der of striker has reached seven hun

The cause of this disturbance between
the mill owners and their IaburerS il
an attempt Oh the part of the former
to reduce the wages OF SpiMners. The

cent sum of ninety cents a day, and
seemed content with it, but 10 81 reduc-
ton which lowered their pay to sixty
eight cents "a day, they have emph8ti-
cally protested in the only and not
very satisfactory method in their pow
er-that is, they struck. The Penn
sylvania iron mills, which have just
imported labor from abroad to take tlit
place of men who refused to work fol
lower wages Issued, in the fall of 1880
circulars to etheiremployas asking them
to vote for Garfield in order to protect
American labor. Perhaps the Pacific
Mills did the same thing At any rate
the owners had then no doubt Of the
| benefit Of the Merrill tariff to those
who helped make money for them
Now, however, the spinner is told tha;
| the tariff does not protect him sulli
GENTLY to enable him TO earn ninety
cents a day, and that he must be con
tent with sixty eight or go. Perhaps
the tariff may be relied upon to hole
the price At the latter figure until the
corporations see fit to make q further
reduction. 1t is indeed a great boon
to workingmen.-[ Stark Co Dem.

Judge WyEic Refuses tOQuash the
indictments.

WASHINGTON, April 1O.--In the
Criminal Court today Judge Wylie, in
the cases Of Brady, Dorsey, and others,
Indicted for conspiracy to defraud the
Government, decided against the mo-
ton to quash the indictments. The
position taken by Judge Willie in re-
gard to the Maryland law of 1922 was
rather unexpected. In various small
cases before the courts it has been fol-
lowed for many years, and the present
prosecuting attorney, Mr.. CorkhiII has
appealed to it more than once, having
himself compiled numberless rulings
into one work to show that the law
was still in force. The decision today,
therefore, caused no little surprise and
no little apprehension among lawyers,
as there are numerous other cases III
which the validity Of this law is in
vOlved and will have to be again
brought up for adjudication. The mo-
tiOns decided under this act include
one made III the interest of Dorsey
another by Brady's counsel, and q
third in the case of a. e.. Soteldo,
charged with the murder of his brother
The star route people asked to have
a day set for arraignment in which
tley could plead to the Indictment, but
it is rum0red that they will take ad-
vantage of several other dilatory mo-
tionS which can be made, ana then,
refusing to plead, will carry the ques
ton of the validity Of the law of 1922,
hich Judge Willie has just declared
obsolete, to the Supreme Court of the
United States for decision. = Leader

A Big SwindEe.

A short time ago the bunko thieves
Charles Francis Adams to the amount
of $I9,35O. He was inveigled into a
gambling den some days ago, where
some kind of a game was in progress,
where he Was induced to sign three
checks, one for SIT, 800, one for 81 600,
and one for $3.50. He was induced TO
keep the matter secret, under the
supposition that should the fact be-
himself and family connections. The
checks had been deposited in tho Mer-
chants Bank, and, in due course OF
business, were presented to Mr.. Adj
ans Bank, and were paid. Detectives
were set on track of the rascals, and a
man named J. S. Morrison, an accom-
plished faro dealer, was arrested, who
admitted that he filed up the check
and sent it to the bank. His statement
was to the effect that Mr.. Adams had
lost the money in a gambling den, and
he supposed the family would prefer
to pay it rather than to have the fact
made known. He said there were sew
eral prominent merchants in that city
who had lost large sums in the same
way, and gave the names of number
of them. The whole gang have been
indicted. ,..s-
The money received by the $l7, 900
check which Adams was induced to
sign, has been refunded by Fernold, a
lawyer into whose hands this check
was placed for collection by one of the
gang. A detective here says Fitzger-
aid, alias J. S. Morrison, has always
been a bunko man and faro " steerer.n u
He is good conversationalist, of easy
polished address, and is said to have
been born in New York, where he re
ceived a college education. By reason
of excesses there, he was obliged tc
leave for other parts. In connection
with the New York career of Fitzger
aid, it is said one of his most intimate
associates was Charley Miller, shot
some time ago in bar-room by Bill
Tracy.

THE New York Herald takes the
bull by the horns on the question OF
tariff. 1t says it has been befoggcd by
the opponents of reform, and that it is
time to come cut into daylight. 1t is
not question of free trade or protec-
ton at all it is question of cutting
down needless and oppressive taxation
by which the people are being robbed.
When they have contributed out OF
their earnings the sum needed for the
support of their government and the
payment of just and due obligations,
they have contributed all that can l'e
rightly required of them. II their
rulers force them to pay more it is
nothing but an act of robbery.

A Hint to American Statesmen.

w. J. Colville, in an inspirational
discourse delivered recently in Berk-
ley Hall, Boston, among many other
good things, said:
Men will fight for their country
until it ceases to be their country; then
they may be found ready to betray it
into the hands of it's enemies. Patri-
otism and love of home will cease just
so soon as ones country becomes a
prison, and ones home a wretched
garret, in which the sons of toll are
forced to exc out miserable existence;
so long as their ceaseless toll is only tC
fill to repletion the Golfers of capital
lists who have already so much money
that it is more of burden than Joy
to them"

Fac EScnS0US SOF Ets
The following is an extract from the
speech of Gen w. ). R0sccrans, of
California, on the Chinese bill:
70 the eye of the statesman, there
fore, the admission of Chinese immi-
grafton TO the United States, at least
to the Pacific coast, requires us 10 de-
eide which civilization we will prefer.
VIII we choose our own to the hOary
and compact materialistic civilization
of China? Mixture is impossible;
assimilation is impossible. Thirty
years experience in California and on
the Pacific coast has demonstrated this
practical impossibility. With us it is
no longer an experiment. The united
voices of the people of the states of
California, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado,
and of the adjacent territories of Ari-
IONA, Washington, Montana and Ida
no, solemnly declare it. They ale
willing that those here should be al
lowed to earn their living by working
for such employers and for such wages
as they can obtain, and to live as eco
needful sanitary regulations. But they
demand the prohibition of future i'm
migration:
never to be returned, by far the largest
part of that balance of profit which
white laborers would retain among us !;
Because practically they are and al
ways will remain Chinese subjects,
alien to our civilization, laws, customs,
municipal life, modes OF administering
justice and obtaining evidence in courts
of law:
Because they practically set up their
own government within and unknown
to our law;
Because, unlike immigrants from
European countries, they are not per
mitted, but are forbidden under the
most terrible penalties, by their gov
ernment from renOuDcing their allie
glance to their own ruler, and COM
manded by their ancestral worship to
send home to China the very bones of
those dying abroad;
Because even were it otherwise
general ignorance of our language,
unconquerable hereditary habits, Gus
toms and modes of thought and of life
would leave them practically and in
definitely Asiatic;
Because they are introducing among
us some fearful diseases and degrading
vices;
percentage of criminals, and impose on
us excessive difficulties and expenses
in the detection and punishment of
crime among them;
Because it is practically impossible
TO prevent the criminal, diseased and
paueer classes of Chinese from being
poured in upon uH, if amy of the lower
classes are admitted;
Because their presence here excludes
a much more dies IL abie population from
Filling our country with our own peo-
pie and Immigrants of our own race
having all the general habits, customs
and ideas of liberty, law and govern
ment appertaining to our civilization
Because the Chinese already here
form but the vanguard of AN Industrial
army of Asiatic Iaborers, iinpeIIeu by
an Irresistible impulse to better their
condition, which, unless prevented,
Will overrun our country aud degrade
our civilization.

WHEN liquor dealer has paid the
tax required by the Pond law what is
the necessity of his giving bond con.
ditioned for the faithful observance OF
THAT law? Does THAT law impose
upon him any other obligation than
paying the tax and giving the bond
If the tax is paid the bond would seem
to be of no account, and if the tax be
not paid the dealer will not he apt to
give the bond, and would be liable to
the penalties of that law. The bond
is not conditioned for the observance
of pre-existing laws, which are in nc
way changed or effected by the Pond
law.

if the laborers don't like it they will
be permitted to step down and out and
give place to the rat-eating Chinese,

party is of but short duration, and they
