This action is prosecuted by plaintiff
to recover tax illegally collected by
the Treasurer of Jackson county, as
is alleged by plaintiff, under the pro-
visions of the Statute commonly
known as the Scott Law. The plaintiff
further claims that he paid said taxes,
being the sum Of $77.00 involuntarily.
and that such payment was made on
the fourth day Of February, A. D..
1884. This action is authorized by
Sec. 584S Of the Revised Statutes.
The facts are as follows: Himrod
paid to Peter Bum, the predecessor
Of defendant, the sum Of $7700 set
out in this Bill. The only testimony
to prove such payment involuntarily,
was these words: ''Paid under protest" !"
indorsed on the receipt.
J. K. McClung for Plaintiff; E. C..
Powell for Defendant.
Counsel united in requesting the
Justice to give his views in full, which
he did, as follows:
There are two principal questions to
be considered. Was the collection IL
legal? Was the payment involunta-
ry? The determination of either one
of these adversely to plaintiff is decis-
i've of this case.
A brief consideration Of the nature
and power of our government will aid
materially in determining the first
question. All power, all authority
eminate from the people. Under the
constitution, both power and authori-
ty are delegated to three coordinate
branches Of gcHernment, executive,
legislative and judicial. These three
constitute the State, and exercise, each
in its sphere, that limited sovereignty
permitted to the people by the organic
law established by the people, and
named the constitution. In this con-
sideration we have to deal only with
the legislative and judicial. The first
prescribes laws; the second expounds
them. Every enactment of the legis-
lature is binding until repealed, or
set aside by judicial decision. The
presumption is that every such enact
ment is constitutional. Goshorn VS..

A few evenings ago minister of this
place, in giving "reminiscences of church
experience, told of an old colored janitor
of church in this State, who rarely got
the temperature of the room right. The
minister purchased a nice thermometer
and hung it up in the room, thinking
that there would be a change for the bet
ter. But on the next Sunday it was the
same old experience. Worn out at last
he inquired of the janitor why he did not
consult the thermometer.

A great deal of brutality is exhibited
by some of the boys of Jackson. On Fri
day at noon two boys were going along
Sycamore street in a delivery wagon
when one of then-a great big bullet

the pavement with something, and sent
him home screaming. On Friday even

Canter, in front of Miller's store, throw

and hurting him badly. This kind of
amusement will get some of the boys into
trouble vet.

CULP TAKES A THROUGH TRAIN!
From Coalton To Eternity
A MERRY JAMBORBE ENDS WITH A
HORRIBLE SMASH-UP!
The OHIO SOUTHERN SCORES ANOTHER
VICTIM
Though No Fault of the Railroaders

John Culp. miner, met horrible fate
near Coalton, on Monday evening, which
caused his death so quickly that he per-
haps never knew what hurt him. There
are various rumors as to the accident and
its causes, some sccounts being to the eff
feet that the old gentleman was going to
the Soldiers Home on Tuesday, and was
taking farewell spree, before leaving.
From DR.. W. Fl. Monahan and others
who were there at the time of the acci-
dent, we learn that the occurrence was
about as follows: Culp had been roaring
drunk all, or nearly all, day, and in the
evening started to walk down the Rail
road track, toward little bridge, or tres
tie, near the Coalton depot. Charles r..
John saw him standing at the bridge, and
took it to be one of the brakemen, wait
ing to jump on the approaching engine.
1t is not known just what was his posi-
tion when the engine struck him, as it
was backing down the track, and the
train men saw no one in the way, and
opinion il divided as to whether he laid
down on the track OF whether he fell, or
was knocked down by the tender. The
position of the body looked some as
though he had laid down with his head
against the guard-rail of the bridge. His
breast was across the rail, when the en-
gine backed down. crushing him in two
below the shoulders. He leaves family.
Had Mr.. Culp left whisky alone, he
would now in all probability be in good
health, and with his family. Coroner
Smith and Dr. Monahan went to hold an
inquest on the remains. NeXtI

In the cold dark grave our dear brother lies,
Among the peaceful dead;
But far beyond the azure skies
His ransomed soul has fed.
Brother we believe has gone to rest,
His tolls and cares DER,
And sorrow, pain and suffering now
Shall ne'er distress him more.
We can not think of him as dead,'
He lives no more to die;
And when we reach our journeys end,
His glory can share.

Spontaneous Hygiene.

The New England States were created
under exceptionally unfavorabe condi-
tions. Their soil was sterile, the Red
Man, accoutred with savagcry known
not elsewhere on tho surface OF the globe,
was present in the immediate neighbor-
hood of Plymouth Rock. All the pig
ments of barbarism added to the natural
ferocity OF the enemy the passengers and
the descendants OF the passengers OF the
"May yhower" had TO encounter. Stimu-
lated by such momeutary odds, these
sturdy opponents OF monarchy were on
their mcttle. After all, the dsadvant.
ages thus encountered acted rather as
stimulant than deterrent, The hardy
Puritans were fully equal to the task i'm
posed upon them. They have created
fine oommonwealths which, to-day, are
models of what can be accomplished by
frugality and thrift under adverse cir
cumstances. Wealth has piled up in New
England in a ratio never dreamt of else
where, unless tho accumulations OF cen
turies, in Holland, may be the excop.
tion. A resolute people conquered
sterile land. All the same, these crea
tors of wealth, inhelitors of n fine intel.
ligence and highly progressive men, are

their transplanted ancestors. The bron-
chial tubes and the lungs, in Mt least one

in that narrow zone of earth counts for

There are so many charming feature,
about Los Angeles comfy that its best
lover Is liable TO miss many of the things
which individually, and of themselves,
without regard to the other coignes Of
vantage which abound 80 heavily here.
One is very apt to put in years
finding ont where the illimitable
wealth of this region lies. Loom
ing up over this temporary embarrass'
ment -an embarrassment OF riches, by
the way-are certain facts which arrest
the attention OF all persons who are in
terestcd in metallurgy. Waving the
orange aud lemon groves and vineyards
OF Southern California, which have
their most interesting evolution in
Los Angeles county, the oil develop
ments Of this county, which ramify into
the Sespc, of Ventura county, and
which arc well marked in Santa Barbara
county, are OF a character to attract the
attention OF the world. Enterprising
Californians, with means and pluck, have
already mcasurably developed these re-
sources, which are as yet but nascent in
their career and output. Some day or
other il will be found out that, in addi-
tion to our ability TO produce tens of mil
lions of dollars OF petroleum yearly, wo
shall exploit the finest tin mines of the
world. These precious deposits are as
yet in their infancy, and are involved IN
expensive litigation, but the time OF
their thorough, painstaking develop
ment is at hand. The oil is there.
All that is needed is the iron will and
resolution which have made Califor-
MIA pre-eminent in the past to make Los
