Damages for Horses Killed.

PEKIN. ILL.,, Oct. A verdict for 100
was rendered for the plaintiff Friday night
in the suit of Christian Zehr, OF Lilly this
county, against the Livestock Commits
sion of the State to recover S., 900 for
killing four horses supposed to have been
glandered. The case is one of great inter
est, as it was the first test OF livestock
commission law. The plaintiffs claimed
that the old law which gave compensation
was not repealed when the new one w as
passed, and therefore is still in force. The
board will take an appeal. Meanwhile, in
order to prevent the bringing of other
suits against the State, glandered horses
will be quarantined and not killed.

How COSTLY and demoralizing to the
industries of country are civil commo-
tons is clearly shown in the recentmes-
sage of President Terra to the Uru-
guayan Congress, In order to cover
the deficit caused by the recent revolu-
ton, the Government is forced to issue
an internal loan for S2,000,000, and
largely to increase customs tariff. The
annual revenue of the Republic is about
Si2,000,000, and there is an existing
debt of some S60,000,000, so that the
deficit noted is a serious matter for the
Government.

The experts who have examined the
ruins caused by the earthquake in
Charleston, S. c., are free to say that
the buildings were poorly constructed,
and that it is not surprising that they
cayed when the quake came along.
They say that the mortar was poor,
and in other respects the material used
in the construction was of an inferior
quality. After an earthquake has
shaken down a few thousand buildings
it is very easy to put the blame on the
builders. What this country wants, in
our opinion, is milder earthquakes.
