NUISANCE IN oAKFIELD.

Referred 10 nc Prosecuting Attorney and
STATE Board of Health.
Prosecuting Attorney Mcknight. was
called ous To Oskfield Township yes
terday morning by the township board
To invest. gate an ale ged nuisance by
an overflow of land and exposure OF
debris. The nuisance was caused by
the diversion of the natural outlet OF
shree likes aud partial drainage OF the
same. There - CHAIN Of i've lakes
situate 1 IN the townships OF Oaktield
and rpencor, the natural outlet OF
three Jf which was TO the north into
BLACK creek, and thence into Flat river.
Some twenty i've years ago the Bank
br0tl crs built a dam st the outlet into
BLACK creek. and cut q ditch between
two ~ the lakes The result OF this
was 20 partially drain three other lakes
and TO turn the outlet of these lakes
SOU n INTO WabAsIs creek. TINS was
dore 10 recover bed of mari under
lyMIg one OF the lakes. BY thus lower
ing the lakes their borders have become
soft and miry. and it Is difficult
or impossible to get TO them for any
purpose. The dam AT the outlet into
Black creek has frequently gone out
AHA the ditch between the lakes has
t,en Distracted 50 as TO allow the lakes
u, NIL up during periods or freshets and
again 10 be lowered during dry weather.
The contention Of the citizens Is that
the alternate rising and lowering of
the water In these lakes Is injurious to
pubic health AID therefore . nuisance
which should be abated. The conten-
ton of the Bank Bros is that they
have the right TO drain the lakes, that
they have . valuable property interest
IN the mari beds thus uncovered, that
they own the land between the lakes
through which the ditch 10 made and
that they have had the undIsputed
possession of these rights and property
Tor the last twenty-five years. The
state board of health examined the
situation but could not express any
opinion in relation u property or ac-
quired rights, leaving That question for
settlement in the courts. The state
board expressed itself that the alternate
risng and lowering of the water IN the
lakes. exposing large areas of over
flowed lands to the action of heat and
moisture IN a thickly settled neighbor-
hood "a Injurious TO the public health
and therefore a nuisance. The prose-
eating attorney viii confer with the

matter and 10 is probable that Il Will be
brought into the courts for settlement.

Monsters with Many Horns.

Many of the giant reptiles of long
ago had enormous horns. The great
lizard known as the triceratops had
big horn over each eye and little
one on its nose. The dinoceras and
tinoceras, gigantic mammals of the
tertiary epoch, had three pairs of
prominences on their heads which
are believed to have supported horns.
However, the material of which
horn is composed quickly decays,
being largely formed of gelatine
and other animal matter, so that
these appendages are apt to be found
absent when the fossil bones of beasts
which had them are found. Inter
view in Washington Star.

Modern Interest in Pirates.

Such feeble interest as now at
taches to what was once the formid-
able fame of the pirates is not even
aesthetic. it is merely comic, No i'm
aginative essayist discusses piracy as
a fine art, but Paul Jones is resur-
rected as the hero of a musical bur
lesque Poor Paul And he is al
most the only one of the whole buc-
caneering race whose story discovers
a trace of the legendary gallant1y of
piracy. Paul, whose father had been
head gardener to Lord Selkirk, plum
dered the Selkirk mansion of its
plate, which he subsequently re-
turned in parcel to Lady Selkirk,
with a letter of polite apology.-Na-

If biologists are right (and | be-
heve they are) there has not been a
moment of silence since this world
began it's travels. and the crashings,
and the splittings, and the uproar,
and the hubbub are ever in progress.
But when among the supernals a
voice cried. Hush |" and for half an
hour heaven was still, silence was
honored The full power of silence
many of US have yet to learn. We
are told that when Christ was ar
raigned He answered not word
That silence was louder than any
thunder that ever shook the world.
Outlines. when we are assailed
and misrepresented, the mightiest
thing to say is to say nothing, and
the mightiest thing to do is to do

selves set right accomplish nothing
but their own chagrin. Silence! Do
right and leave the results with God.
Among the grandest lessons the
world has ever learned are the les
sons of patience taught by those who
endured uncomplainingly personal
or domestic or social or political in
justice. Stronger than any bitter or
sarcastic or revengeful answer was
the patient silence
The famous Dr. Morrison, of Chel-

silent patience as by his pen and
tongue. He had asthma that for
twenty-five years brought him out of
his couch at two o'clock each morning.

said. AT this moment there is not
an inch of my body that is not filed

triumphant, silent. Those who were
in his presence said they felt as
though they were in the gates of
heaven.
Oh, the power of patient silencel
