for the publication of the following al
legged libellous statement:
Its now almost forgotten that
Governor Harvey pardonded his own
brother out of the penitentiary. The
convict Harvey had been sent to Lam
sing from Salina."
In the trial court below the defendant
admitted the publication, but plead
that the statement was not libelous I'M
less malice was proven, which was DIS
claimed. There was no attempt made
to show that the publication was made
for unsuitable ends. The supreme court
affirms the verdict, which was SO fine
and costs Of suit.
Nora Sparks VS. Frank Hess. This
was a suit for SANDER brought by
young woman employed in the Arkan-
sas City cracker factory against a
wealthy resident of that city. The SIAN

asked the proprietor:
"Why do you keep that SO black
mailer here?"
The defendant denied having made
the remark attributed to him, but it
was proven by several witnesses, and
the court gave the girl verdict for
81 300, which verdict the supreme court
afirms. Miss Sparks is now school

been fairly prosperous one. The meet
ing of the sovereign grand lodge with

fact that the past and present officers

STORM WATER REMOVAL.

STORM WATER REMOVAL.
The storm water falling within the limits OF
city should be collected. as far aB prac 1caple
in the cutters OF the streets, and no other pro-
tity becomes SO great that the consequ mt
flooding causes damage to pr1va.e ana pubic
property, or interfares with the transaction OF
public business. When the latter contingencies
srise, an underground removal of more or less
of this storm water becomes an 1mperaus 5 e
necessity.
AS the number of buildings increases and
roads are paved-in other words, as the surface
becomes more in pervious and prevents water
from soaking into the ground, the amount OF
water W hich runs off and reaches the lowest be-
crease This quantity will be still further aug
mented by greater inclination OF the ground,
because the water will accumulate more rap
idly.
