THERE CAN BE NO COMPROMISE.
It Ia War to the Knife Between the Old Broad
Ripple Company and the Edison People.

The suit of the Edison company against
the Broad Ripple Rapid-transIt Company,
Bosom, Light and Henderson. has knocked
in the head the proposed doal by which the
new Broad RIPPLE company was to take up
the old Broad Ripple franchise and make
new contract with the Edison company
to build the road. 1t Is now war to the
knife between the Edison and the old CON-
pany. Messrs Bosom and Light have had
complaint against the Edison company
drawn up ever since July and lying in
Judge ClaypOofs office. It asks for heavy
damages on account of the reputation of
the contract by the Edison company. 1t
has been withheld at the request of
w. i. Cox, in order that the matter
might be compromised and the
new deal made. However. the Edison stole
n march, and all hope of a compromise has
disappeared. The officers of the old CON-
pany were in consultation with their at
torneys. Messrs. Ciaypool and Harris, all
yesterday afternoon. preparing an answer
to the Edison cOmpaDy's suit. Pm very
sorry the deal is sm ashed." said MIR. Cox,
of the new Broad Ripple company. yester-
day. Il had hoped that we could cOmprO-
mise the suits cancel the stock and bonds
and take up the franchise as q new thing,
but guess I'll have to ask the Board of
Public Works for another route for the
east line"

Toupbening Water-Melons-

A scientific gentleman, whose youth was
devoted to agricultural pursuits is disap-
pointed with the water melon of the pres
emit day, particularly the melon that Ia
shipped to this market from the South. 1t
is his opinion that these growers purposely
cross the fruit with ''toughness," such as
gourds and pumpkins. which are own
cousins to the watermelon, to make the
product stand shipping. THAT this is
DONE" he remarked, Il have little doubt,
and 1t is no trouble TO do it. as any farmer
knows. When pumpkins and water-mel-
Ions are grown in the same field, or near
together, the pumpkin carries the pollen
from the flower of the one to the other. and
the result is deterioration of the melon
without any Improvement to the pumpkin.
The large and tine-lookIng melons. when
plugged. ARE often found TO be tough and poor
in favor. and the question naturally arises
as TO what has become of the old-fashioned
toOthsome fruit, so tender, so luscious. that
our Doyhood knew. The melons grown in
southern Indiana are far preferable to
those shipped here from greater distance,
and you will notice that they not so
thick in rind and will not bear Shipment as
well as the Georgia melons"

WEARING THE BOARD OUT.
Reviewers Of Real Estate Assessment Cannot
Give Hearing in Day TO All Who Apply.


Over $50 people registered before the
County Board of Review yesterday. and q
number came in and went away without
registering, hopeless of getting hearing.
The board, the assessor and the crowd of
deputies are nearly worn out with the work
OF handling the rush. 1t was the same story
over again all day. varying a little in de-
tails with the persons. Simon Yandes was
given hearing and accorded reduction
on several pieces Of business property.
William 5. Hubbard. another man of large
wealth, waited nearly all day before get
ting hearing. but finally got 1T and
was promised that his protest wouii
be considered. John III. Stewart was an
other large property owner before the
board yesterday, but it declined to make
a reduction in his case. Last night ended
the time for complaints in Center township,
but undoubtedly people from the city will
be coming IN all this week.
Tomorrow the board begins the consid-
Grafton of real estate in other TOWNSHIP s.
and Washington will receive first attention.
The average assessment there is S71 per
acre. and this will be cut to at least $50.
which is the average in WAYNE. usually
considered the best township in the county.

they can eat the soft grain, and when they
get full grown they can almost crack a
grain of corn. When broken corn IS found
