Probability Of an Appeal Of

Judge Otis yesterday filed his deeis-
ions upon the demurrers interposed in

TO recover the money obtained by Jay

county auditor, A. n. Nelson and Z. A.
REM, county treaSurers, the demurrer
interposed on behalf of Auditor Kahn
was sustained, thus releasing him from
any liability. Accompanying the order
sustaining the demurrer IS the follow
ing memorandum of opinion:
The Auditor Not Liable.
Construed together chapter so, Laws of
1870. being section 80 of chapter 20, General
Statutes of 1873: section of chapter PA,
Special Laws of 1876; chapter IL, Laws of
1879, amending section al, chapter 8, Gen
eral Statutes of 1873; chapter 50, Laws of
1879, amending section 1863, chapter s, Cen
eral Statutes of 1878, and chapter II. Laws of
1881, amending section 149 of chapter g Gen
eral Statutes of 1873, required the county
auditor to take up and file in his Office the
jurors certificate issued by the clerk, and at
the same time issue to the juror warrant
for the amount specified i'll the certificate
Instead of so doing the auditor in
dorsed on the certificate so presented
to him direction TO the county treasurer to
pay the same, thereby making the certificate
a part of the warrant, which in effect still re-
manned an authorization TO pay only TO the
person named therein. BY this course the
auditor did not retain in his Office any vouch-
er for the warrant, but fail to see how this
irIegularity can be said to have contributed
10 the loss which the county sustained by lis
unwarranted payment. The certificate on
Its face was perfectly valid, with nothing to
excite suspicion. It was presented unin-
dorsed by a person other than the
one in whose favor it was drawn, not
for payment, but for a warrant to be
and which was issued in favor of the person
so named IL the certificate, and not to the
bearer Such possession might well evidence
the right of the bearer to receive warrant
thereon on behalf and in the name OF the
person named in the certificate, a warrant
which could only be collected by the person
III whose favor II was drawn, and not by the
bearer. The liability of the auditor in this
action turns upon the question of negli-
gence. do not think the delivery OF the
warrant under the circumstances charged in
the complaint an act OF negligence, but even
if it we're | cannot see how it either immedi-
ately or remotely contributed to the loss so as
to render the auditor liable therefor

Bamboo for America.

1t is hoped 10y the Department of Agri-
culture that the bamboo may yet be cul-
tivated in this country, as it is in China,
where it supplies a large part of the
wants of the people, being applied to
more than five hundred different and
useful purposes. In the Flowery King
dom it takes the place both of iron and
steel. The farmer bdilds his house and
fences out of 1t, his farming utensils as
we'll as his household furniture are manu-
factured from it, while the tender shoots
table for his table.
The roots are carved into fantastic
images, shaped into divining blocks to
guess the will of the gods, or cut into
lantern handles and canes. The tapering
culms are used for the prons of houses,
the frameworks of awnings, the ribs of
sails, and shafts Of rakes; for fences,
and every sort of frames, coops aud
cages, and for the handles and ribs of
umbrellas and fans. The leaves are
sewed into rain coats and thatches. The
wood, cut into splints of various sizes, is
woven into baskets of every form, sown
into window curtains and door screens
and twisted into cables. The shavings
and curled threads furnish materials for
stuffing pillows, while parts supply the
bed for sleeping, the chopsticks for eat
ing, the pipe for smoking, the broom for
sweeping, the mattress to lie upon, the
chair to sit upon, the table to eat on, the
food to eat, and the fuel to cook it with.
The ferule to govern with, the book to
study from, the reed pipe of the organ,
the shaft of the soldiers spear, and the
dreaded instrument of the Judge; the
skewer to pin the hair, and the hat to
screen the head; the paper to write ON,
the pencil to write with and the cup to
put the pencil in; the rule RI measure
lengths, the cup to gauge quantities, and
the bucket to draw water; the bird
cage, the crab net, the fish pole-are one
and all furnished by this plant, whose
beauty when growing is commensurate
to its usefulness when cut down. A
score or two of bamboo poles for joists
and rafters, fifty fathoms of rattan ropes,
and a supply of palm leaves and bamboo
mats for roof, supply material for

Young People Need Much Sleep.

A German specialist, DR.. Cold, has
recently pleaded for giving young people
more sleep. A healthy infant sleeps
most of the time during the first weeks;
and, in the early years, people are dis
posed to let children sleep as much as
they will. But from six or seven, when
schools begins, there u a complete
change. AT the age of ten or eleven,
and as he grows older the time of rest is
shortened. DIR. Cold believes that, up
to twenty, youth needs nine hours
sleep and an adult should have eight or
nine. With insufficient sleep, the nerv-
Gus system, and brain especially, not
resting enough, and ceasing to work
normally, we find exhaustion, excitabil-
ity, and intellectual disorders gradually
taking the place of love of work, general
well-being, and the spirit of initiative.

THE LEAVES TURN RED.

There is purple peacefulness that covers
natures features
Like y-colorei-bed-quilt Ger 3 baby's
trundle bed,
Nature covers all us children, nervous, tired
little creatures,
Nervous tired little children, whether
princes, popes or preachers;
When the leaves turn red.
And she spreads her gaudy bed-quilt, all
aglow with golden glory,
For she knows twill please her children and
decoy them Off to bed,
They drift Off in their gorgeous cribs, like
babies in a dory.
Down through misty, hazy valleys that we
read about in story;
When the leaves turn red,
A balm that's full of sleepiuess envelops hill
and river,
An air that's full of sweet content DER all
the earth is spread;
We know we dream, and yet we pray to be
awakened never,
For It's the prayer Of every soul to dream
right on forever;
When the leav es turn red.

An Astonishing Discovery.

In 1899 discovery was made which
profoundly agitated the scientific world.
During that year a man named Schu-
machoff, Chief of wandering tribe of
Tunguzes, built cabin for his wife on
the borders of Lake Oncoul, and went to
search on the seashore for mammoth
tusks. One day he saw in an icy cliff a
shapeless mass which piqued his curios-
ity. About year afterward, passing
this point, he observed that the object in
the ice cliff was more detached from the
ice than it had been before. He noticed
two long projections, but he could not
yet tell what they were. Toward the
close of the next summer the whole side
of the animal projected beyond the wall
of ice. The Chief returned now to his
cabin on the shore of Oncoul, and told
his discovery to his wife and friends.
They were seized with CONSERVATION.
The old men told over again the sto-
ries they had heard from their fathers,
storie, of like monster seen once in an
ice cliff of the same peninsula, and they
told what their fathers had said of the
calamity which befell the discoverer aud
his household. They perished miserably,
every one. Schumacher was terrified
and felf sick. On his recovery avarice
began to get the better of superstition.
TIE ice cliff was explored again, but the
mammoth was found still imbedded. AT
last, toward the close of the fifth year
after the first discovery, the ice had
melted so much that the great beast had
slid down along an escarpment more
than 200 feet high and lodged on a bank
of sand on the seashore. Here Schu-
machoif found his mammoth and cut of
the tusks which he sold. - Washington

The people of Iceland are the latest to
be affected by the general spirit Of dis
content that pervades Europe, observes
the Philadelphia Record. Numbers of
them have within the last few years set
tied in Manitoba, and it is now said that
there will be large immigration to
Alaska. The Icelanders have long been
striving to secure autonomy in their
home affairs, but so far the mother
country, Denmark, has refused them a

Notwithstanding the improved me.
chanical precautions, the greater skill oi
employees, and the close inspection
which corporations, in their o. wn interest,
are bound to maintain, the frequency of
railway accidents is said to be increasing
in this country. The long series oil
serious wrecks this summer is strong
evidence of the truth of this statement.
a fact which must work to that end is
the deterioration of roadoeds. One OF
the disasters which occurred on Western
railroads this summer was manifestly due
to the insecure condition of the rails.
The railway authorities of the State in
which it occurred notified the officers of
the corporation that they must see to it
that the road was properly repaired, or
forfeit their franchise. The railway
company's officers replied that the road
did not pay and therefore 3id not
warrant them in making the ex 7e,.dtures
necessary to keep 1t IN goo3 physical
condition, which was tantamouut to an
acknowledgment thut the road had not
beei. kept In condition fit for use. This
is no doubt an isolated case, but it is
probable that many railways constructed
in this country during the last twenty
years are getting to that where repairs
are necessary.

A LITTLE GARDEN.

A little garden, prim and square,
Has little owner, sweet and fair.
A little garden hedged about -
With little beds and walks laid out;
Where little hollyhocks grown tall
Stand close against the garden wall,
And up their slender stalks there twines
A host of morning glory vines;
Where little roses, from their trees,
Send spicy calls to little bees,
And little daisies, pink aud white.
Crowd little bluebells, blue and bright;
Where little pansies, put between
Verbenas red and white, are seen,
And all around the borders set,
Are little plants of mignonet.
Alyssum, heliotrope together
Run riot there in summer weather:
And pinlss and asters lovely gracss,
Fill up the little garden spaces;
And little butterflies that fit Il
Complete the dainty charm of it.
All, little garden, well l know
What little maid not long ago,
Plucked all your choicest bu Is to be
A little nosegay just for mel

Facts About the Queen Bee.

A queen can beat hen at laying.
Give her the best surroundings, with
plenty of honey combing in and all
that, and she will lay 5000 eggs in
twenty-four hours. She does not cackle
over it either. Each egg measures one
fourteenth of an inch in length and one
seventh of an inch in thickness. Even
when she is only doing an average bust
ness she will lay more than twice her
own weight in twenty -four hours. But,
mind you, she does not do anything else.
Does not even feed herself. You will
see the workers constantly offering her
food. Bee Journal.

The London Financial Times places
the European wheat crop at LOGS, ,00O,-
600 bushels this year, decrease of $685.
100000 bushels from 1890. 1t esti-
mates the net decrease in the wheat crop
of the world at rs, 900, 900 bushels. The
net requirements of importing countries
are put at 467, 900, 900 and the surplus
of exporting countries at 800, 900, 900
bushels. 1t concludes that the deficit in
wheat, as well as the larger deficit in the
rye crop, must be made up by imports of
corn and provisions from America.
