We do not believe the time has come
when the small farmer can successfully
conduct his business withOu: performing
some manual labor, nor when the large
farmer can attain marked success without
that intimate knowledge of his work which
comes from actual participation in it, but
we do most fully believe that the day is
forever past in this country when the chief
reliance Of the successful farmer, whether
his acres he few or many, can be placed
upon manual industry, however persistent,

TIE PRETENDER'S APPEAL.
The Desire of Secretary Myers to Aid the
Complainant in the Suit Against Him.

The Supreme Court will take up, tomorrow
morning, the appeal from Judge Ayres's decis-
ion regarding the Green Smith application for
an injunction against the Secretary of State.
The compliments attorneys say they will argue
the question de novo, and it is expected by them
that the court will enter into the merits OF the
application and pass upon the title to the Office.
Secretary of State Myers, who is the defendant
in the case, has evinced desire to aid in what
ever way he can the complainant. When Jason B.
Brown appeared before the Supreme judges. on
Tuesday afternoon, TO ask an early hearing of
the argument, he was accompanied by MIR. My
ers who said to the judges: 81 want this case
heard at once" The Deputy Attorney general
was present and suggested that it would
be well to communicate with the Attorney gen.
eral, who was absent on important business be-
fore proceeding in the matter, as he represented
the defense 81 care nothing about the Attor-
ney-general." replied Secretary Myers; ''he is
not my lawyer"
Didn't he represent you in the trial of the
case before Judge Ayresl" was asked.
"Yes.n
"Have you engaged any other counsell'
mo. But / not consulting the Attorney
general regarding this case. want 1t tried at
once"
Judge Niblack remarked that he thought it
would be advisable to allow the Attorney general
to have whatever reasonable opportunity he de-
sired to prepare for the argument of the case,
and Friday was fixed as the time with the I'M
derstanding that if postponement was then de-
sired it should be granted
1t Is becoming more and more apparent that
in the event of an adverse decision the Demo
Gratis expect to carry the question into the Sen
ate and utilize their majority in that body for
all it's worth. Advice was given Smith, last
night. that he should assume the seat as presid
ing officer of the Senate and hold it 'If the
Democrats in body do not stand bv you," the
adviser continued, 'they ought to be kicked out
of the State 1t is their duty, once for all. to
refuse to go into the joint convention for the
purpose of canvassing the returns. That con-
vention is no place for Democrats"
The caucus of the Democratic Representa-
tives caused no appreciate rise in the political
temperature. Affairs dropped into the ordinary
run of dizziness yesterday. and, although the be-
ginning of the conspiracy promised a prolific
output of ideas. they have been reduced to as
sertions and reassertions that Democrats are ex
pected to do all they can to make trouble when
the General Assembly begins its sessions. In a
word, the conspirators are having hard work in
bringing the masses of the party up to their way
of thinking.

SEPARATED, BUT NOT EsTRANGED.
Young Shepherd Breaks from His Father and
Kisses His Prisoner Bride in Court.

When Squire Feibleman's court opened yes
terday curious people were packed into the little
room like sardines in box. The attraction was
the Shepherd Maiden case. Mrs Shepherd, the
newly made wife of the eighteen-year-old son of
the Indiana Quartermaster, was hard
to satisfy in judicial affair, and,
after taking a change of venue from
the Mayor to Squire Waipole. she
concluded that she could not get justice there.
and took the case before Squire Feibleman.
When Mr. j. Mob. Shepherd brought mis- son into
the justices Office the defendant met her hus
band for the first time since Saturday
night, when he was taken from her and
made prisoner in his fathers residence
AS he passed her she spoke word of cheer to
him. and told him to keep up his courage, as all
would soon be right. The elder Shepherd inter-
rupted the conversation by jerking the son from
his wife and taking him to rear room to re-
main until wanted on the witness stand Tie
evidence of the witnesses for the prosecution
was very damaging TO defendants. They grew
indignant, and on several occasions it looked
like they might clean out the court room. To
quiet them the Squire found it necessary to
fine one of them S. for contempt of court.
The evidence of the defense showed that
young Shepherd had been paying attention to
Miss Maiden for several months, and married
her with the understanding that she would re-
form. The young woman, when on the stand,
was very clipper, ard vigorously expressed her
opinion of her father-n-law. She declared that
she and young Shepherd had been legally mar
ried. and no court on earth or mad father in-law
could separate them. 1t was after o'clock
when the evidence was all in, and the Squire
announced that he would hear the argument
this morning at 8 o'clock.
When court adjourned there was another
scene. Young Shepherd broke from his father
and was about to kiss his wife goodbye, when
his fathers strong right interfered. The
young man was not to be outdone, however, and
when near the door with his father he ran back
and kissed his bride twice. Mr.. Shepherd was
mad, very mad. and Myrtle was in high glee TO
think that her husband had gained his point.
1t appears that Miss Maiden had other suitors
than Shepherd, for there were half dozen
young men of good parentace about the court
marry them, and they are going to draw straws
for her when the elder Shepherd gets his son
a.

REFUSE THE CONTRACT.
The Water Works Company Will Not Accept
the Terms Proposed by the City.

The water-works representative met the
special committee of Council, last night and
fatty told it that the contract for three years
fixing the price of each fre-plug at $45, with
drinking fountains free. would not be accepted
The discussion that followed introduced nothing
new, either for or against the contract On be-
half of the company it was asserted again and
again that no money could be made at
such rates. With plugs at $50, and drinking
fountains charged for, the company had not been
able to make profit sufficient for l per cent
dividend The straits the city would be in if
the old contract would be renewed were talked
over, but this made no impression on the water
works people. 1t came out that under no circum-
stances would the drinking fountain water be
given free, and it was intimated that the ord-
nance under which this concession is claimed
would have to pass through the courts if the city
insisted on that feature of the contract Gen
eral Morris, who did the most of
the talking for the company, gave it as his opin-
ion that the price for plug supply referred to
fire purposes only and that the company could
make an additional charge if water was used
from the plugs in other ways. A ive-years'
contract on the old basis is what the company
wants. Councilman Rocker sides with it, and
told the committee that he would not vote to
pay the market m ster salary of ST. 200 instead
of fees. If the Council persisted in cutting
the throat of this corporation" He asked
the city attorney to draft an ordinance embody-
ing the features of the present contract except
the requirement as to the number of feet of
mains to be laid within each year. He wants
this reduced to 5000, with a fire plug to each L.,
900 feet instead of one for each 800 This ordi-
nance will be reported by him in any event, but

Charged by His Uncle with Forgery.

The marshal of Spencer came to the city last
evening with a warrant for the arrest of Alex
ander Mcknight, charging him with forgery.
On the train coming the marshal met brother
in-law of Mcknight, and indiscreetly told him
the object Of his mission. When he called at
Mr.. Meningitis residence late in the evening
the gentleman was not to be found. The
warrant charges Mcknight with forging the
name of his uncle, Mr.. Terhune, of Spencer,
to a note for $1,000. The note was given last
August, and fell due on Monday. When it was
presented to Mr.. Terhune for payment he pro-
nounced it a forgery, and swore cut the war

changing of shape of the crystalline lens by the eary
muscle enabling the eye to focus objects at different

There are variety of impairing the elastic

muscle preventing the crystalline lens from adapting
itself to different distances thus causing the eyes to

but beyond certain length of time it is impossible.
