Death of n distinguished American
Jurist.

The following special dispatch, un-
der date March Sth, appeared in the
American papers Hon. Luther Day
died at his residence this afternoon of
pneumonia after brief illness. His
death caused profound regret through
out the community, as he was not
only Ravenna's most distinguished
citizen, but a man who enjoyed IN
full measure the respect and esteem
of all. Judge Day was born in Gran
vile, \. Y, July 9, 1913. He came
to Ravenna in 1888 and began the
study of law IN the Office of Hon. r.
P. Spalding. In October, 1910, he
was admitted to the Bar. He became
prominent in his profession and in
1851 was elected Judge of the Court of
Common Pleas. At the breaking out
of the Rebellion he deserted the DEM
Ocratic party and became a staunch
advocate of the Union cause. In
1862 Governor Todd appointed him
Judge Advocate General on his staff,
which position he soon resigned,
owing to professional engagements.
In 1868 he was elected by the Union
party to the Ohio Senate, and in
1864 he was elected Judge of the Su
preme Court, which position he filled
two terms. In 1875 Governor Hayes
appointed him a member of the Su
preme Court Commission, and he
served thereon until the Commission
expired.
While connected with the Supreme
Court, he was Chief Justice four years
aud one year Chief Justice of the
| Commission. At the close of his la
| bors in the Supreme Court he re-
| turned to Ravenna and resumed the
! practice Of law, continuing in active
professional work until his death.
His first wife was Emily S., daughter
of Hon. R. P. Spalding of Cleveland,
and sister to u. S. SpaldIng of Kealia,
Kauai. She died in April, 1852, leav-
! ing two children, one Of whom is w.
R. Day, prominent lawyer of Can
ton. o. April &c, 1854, he married
Miss Ellen I. Barnes of LanesbOro,
Mass, who, with several children,
| survives him.

SOUTH AFRICAN TROUBLES.

Some little time ago the Secretary
of State for the Colonies stated in the
Imperial Parliament that a conflict
of authority had arisen between Sir
Hercules Robinson, Governor of Cape
Colony, and Colonel Warren, British
Administrators in Bechuanaland. He
also stated that the Government
hoped to be able to reconcile their
differences. This is a much more inn
portaut matter than it seems at first
despite their treaty with the British,
invaded the Bechuana country lying
west of their own territory and of the
LimpOpo river, and erected a re-
public. The Bechuanas had pre-
viously asked for British protection,
and Colonel Warren was placed in
command. Acting upon his own
authority he has already chastised
several recalcitrant chiefs, and was
marching against the Beers, when
che Governor of Cape Colony inter-
fered and ordered a stop to opera.
tions. Colonel Warren refused to
recognize Governor Robinson's juris-
diction, and appealed to the Colonial
Secretary. Meanwhile the Beers have
imprisoned British Government sur
veyors and act as if they own Bech-
uanaland They also threaten to at
tack Natal if interfered with on the
West. Considering that they are
handful of people, and that the Trans
vaal country is a fertile and we'll
watered region, as big as France, their
land greed is without excuse. But
they want to go where they can en-
force slavery and escape the restraints
of settled government, which are be-
ing forced on the Transvaal Repub-
lie. Meanwhile there is the begin
ming Of big light in South Africa.

to patent this invention, although it
is an important one; but while we
say this, we nevertheless believe that
if it were possible to do so, and the
respective merits of the let-alOne sys-
tenn and cut-away one were tested,
cultivators would readily pay a good
royalty to secure the immense adj
vantage accruing from the common
sense method above described. We
have advisedly elected to speak Of
weight of crop here, and in doing SO
we contend that it is the only fair
standard of estimating quantity of
crop. 1t has been our lot to COM
pete with exhibitors in bananas
repeatedly who could show twice
the number of fruit on a bunch
that we could; but the judges were
not misled by numbers, for with
bunch of sixteen dozen or so of Cav
endish fruit, we have turned the
scale twice over against a bunch of
more than thirty dozen. Weight
all other things being equals the
emily fair criterion of excellence and
value in bananas. Sixteen dozen
bananas, weighing eighty pounds,
are worth more than thirty-two
dozen weighing the same, that is,
supposing each to be one variety.
The larger the fruit the less waste.

The dancing party given at the Herbert
place. at Waikiki, last Tuesday evening by
DR.. Henri McGrew, in honor of Miss Rising

Arfesian Wells.

The Waianae Sugar Company has put
down four artesian wells, at an expense of
S25, 900, for the purpose of obtaining water
for irrigating cane. One we'll is about 800
feet deep, the water rising in it to within 8
feet of the surface. The second and third
are 800 feet deep, the water rising to within
20 feet of the surface. One Of the latter
however, gives salt water, so that it is use
less. The fourth is still in process of con-
struction, having already reached depth Of
1,025 feet and upwards, and the water rises
in it even with the surface. Steam pumps
are used to raise the water from the wells.
Each well is capable Of irrigating from 80 to
40 acres of cane, depending somewhat upon
the lay of the land and the nature of the
soil, the land there being gentle slope,
and the soil light alluvial. similar to that

Our Inducements and Advantages to n
FIGURING Miil.

As we have often reiterated in the past,
Dc.ia county wants Touring mill. There
is no doubt in onr mind that such an enter
pr.sc could be kept in operation constantly,
and it is only wonder To Us that one has
not been established at this place long ag6.
Statistics of the amount of wheat raised i'll
Delta county alone last season, gathered by
Mr. Wn. Mathers, prominent business
man of this place, show that we raiise'l l00,-
90 bushels, and a much larger per cent. Will
be raised this year. Not only have we ex-
cellcat water power, but here is the center of
vast sourc. of supply. Freight from Den
Yer ana pueblo Ia Gunnison and SapinerO is
soc to Montrose 10. to Delta, Sl.Oo, all of
place are NOW being supplied from Denver
and other points in that vicinity. Now
freight from Delta TO Gunnison is i0c; from
Delta to Sapiueru, 35c; from Delu. to Mont
rose, Ice, ar to the main supply points east
of Us that Touring mills here would natural
ly supply, aud which is freight rate of less
than one.haif on flour that is now being con-
sl,ned in this country. Gunnisom and SAP
inrru are the main supply points OF a vast
tract of mining and agricultural country,
Montrosc is the supply point for Quay, san
Miguel aud Dolores counties, and iSr one
hundred miles west of Us mill located here
would supply. Shorts Fnd midilinrs arc in
great demand here, aud would always com.
niand higher price than they could posi-.
bly, be sold for at points further east. Now
IL some energetic mill man company who
understands the business and can turn out
good articl. Of flour, will only grasp the sit
uation. take advantage Of this most central
!, cation aud reduction of NOR. than one-h4lf
IN frci ;hi rates, they cannot fail To see that

lIonac Entcrpri.cs.

No town or county can become prosperous
unless home industries are patronized. An
intimate relation in regard 20 the buying and
selling Of farm produce and merchandise
should exist between the farmer aud mer
chant. No merchant can do justice TO or
feels like accommodating the farmer VINO
,.nds to outside dealers for his manuinct
urcJ goods, and neither can the home iner.
chan, buy the isrmer's produce when this is
the case. Tie hest and only way for the
a.rmer to obtain, ready AID profitable sale
for hi. produce at his home market, is to
pztron.ze his home dealers. Not only this.
bu, ai times, through failure OF crops or 9th.
.r can,cs, he calls upon his merchant for aid
(which he could not get from outside dealers)
through his mistottunes, his merchant win
whom he has been dealing, would only be
glad to extend to him the necessary aid. Now
n fcw words TO our farmers in regard to the
class of goods tina, the Eastern frauds have
eaialogued, at seemingly amazingly low
figures, which catalogues they food the
country with to catch the unwary. The
goods advertised 10y them are all auction
goods, manufactured from the poorest Of
refuse material, which goods they buy by
the carload at almost nothing and sell at n
very high figure, when the quality of the
goods i, taken into consideration. Sou get
cheated on every deal you make with them.
Therefore. let them severely alone, and pat
rouixe your home merchants. Here you can
see and test your goods and know what you
src purchasing.
