Are Corrected.

A new school census is to be. taken.
The loss of $4,000 names in the census as
taken by State enumerators means a loss
of 10000 to the city. Mayor Wanser does

Fire that started in the lumber yards in
the northern part Of the city last night,
caused a loss of about 100000. 1t burned
over thirty acres of ground and caused
serious injury by flying timbers. The
lumber was carried from the piles by
the fierce wind created by undercurrents.

A small blaze was first seen in a pile of

and other inflammable material. the fire
caught simultaneously at several points,
and baffled the efforts of the firemen to
confine it. All the hose companies for
miles around were quickly summoned to
the scene. but their efforts could not re-
strain the flames and they almost
burned themselves out, licking up every
stick of lumber in the district.

The ancient and absurd idea that a

that of any other paid servant of the
public has long been dispelled.
One of the highest. most dignified Of
fees within the gift of the people is the
judicial Office The discharge of the
functions of this position calls for great

who contribute to the support of the

How THE SENSES DROP 10 SLEEP.
Now physicians and physiologists
come the front with the astoundins
statement that q man goes to sleu
piecemeal instead Of altogether a.
simultaneously, as it were. That j
the senses do not lull themselye
united and at n into a state OF
slumber, u cease to receive impress
sions gradually, one after the other.
AT first the sight ceases, and next the
sense OF taste loses its susceptibility to
outward impression.
Even then, the individual being
almost in "a state of unconsciousness,
three still remain in q condition oil
actiyity-smelling, hearing and
thought.
Gradually the sense of smelling goes,
then hearing, and, finally, with the
lapse of thought, the entire body
becomes completely asleep.
The Psychologists have gone ever
further than this, and they say that
the senses sleep with different degrees
Of profoundness. The sense of touch
is the most easy to arose, next that Of
hearing, then sight and taste and
smelling last.
Sleep steals on the body gradually,
certain parts of muscles beginning Il
sleep before others. Slumber com
mences at the extremities, beginning
at the feet and legs. That is why it il
always necessary to keep the fee
warm.

CAN'T GIVE AWAY INTOXICATING
LIQUORS.
Judge Simont0n Renders His Decis-

Judge Simont0n Renders His Decis-
ion in the w. Il. Gonzales Liquor
Matter.
Columbia Register.
Judge Simonton, In the United States
Circuit Court, has rendered q deci.
sion in the case of A. e. and w. e..
Gonzales, and the liquor owned by the
Gonzales has been Withdrawn from the
jurisdiction Of the court. The follow
ing is his decision /:
The cas- was Gheard at the same
time with hat of Mr.. N. G. Gozales,
and in general presents the same
features.
There were two kegs marked in the
name of A. E. Gonzales, with labels
showing that they were imported from
North Carolina by A. d. Gonzales, for
his personal use, by a common carrier.
Mr.. A. e: Gonzales in his evidence
shows these facts to be true, but he
adds that he had given one OF the bar
rels to his brother, w. E. Gonzales.
In the opinion just filed, it has been
shown that liquor imported from an
other State or from q foreign country,
forsthe personal use Of the importer,
Is protected by the Interstate com.
merce law, and that this protection is
continued owe the importation after
Its arrival, 30 long as this personal
use and consumption continues. If,
however, this personal use and con-
sumption cease, the protection ceases
Also In the present case, Mr.. A. e.
Gonzales imported for his own use
two packages. One claimed in his own
use and for his own consumption. The
other did not. He gave 1t away. The
police law Of this State forbids this.
Indeed, II packages could be imported
by one for his own use, and after ar
rival could be given to others, there
could be no limit to the number so
imported by one person or to that OF
the recipient after they were inn
ported. The protection of the inter-
state commerce law Is u personal
privilege. 1t cannot be transferred to
another person and give to him the
protection given to the importer only
goods.
The package belonging to Al. e.
Gonzales is In the possession OF the
respondent, F. M. Mixson. Let him
deliver 1t to the owner, and after such
delivery, this rule will be discharged.
The other package, that now owned
BY Mr.. w. e, Gonzales, has been with
from the Jurisdiction OF this
court.

PELTED WITH CORN.
Custom Observed During
the Great Fall Festival.

What cotton is to the South, corn is
becoming to the West. The great
fields of Indian maize which cover the
prairies are the source of much of the
wealth of the Missouri Valley, and the
manner. of recognition of its impor-
tance is worthy the originality of tile
people. Cornhusking bees cannot be
held, as the grain is shucked in the
nelds, while corn festivals are not only
attention, says The Altoona News.
The originator of the corn festival
aimed to make it different from all
others on earth, and succeeded. The
one held here attracted thousands of
visitors, who came by the carload to
see what could be done to crown King
Corn In q becoming manner. There
are no speeches, no program, no process
sion. A dozen bands play when and
where they will.
Inc carriages and people sre decorat-
ed with cornhusks, and the store
fronts are built up with such lavish
decorations as to make the streets
seem like q fold. At dusk handsome
floats appear and display the oddities
OF fiction and poetry, with corr as the
central feature. A price is offered to
the man who a drive with a load of
W~dIermelOnS tnrOugh the street and
not have them stolen. Several try but
none succeed.
Maskers come out, and then begins
the fun. Corn is the weapon of the
enemy--shelled corn, dry, yellow kerr
nels, hard as bullets and dried to ripe
perfection in the glorious prairie au-
tumn. Every one carries q sack of it
and pelts his neighbor. The drivers of
hoats and the street car conductors
are subjected to a rafting rain of corn.
Thousands of feet tramp over the fall
len grain, and as the supply grows
less the store decorations are torn
away to contribute to the hilarity.
Midnight scarcely sees an end to the
sport, and the next morning presents
a street surface which needs only q
generous rain and a fierce sun heat to
be converted into q kind of huge loaf of
bread.
1t Is remarkable what UNIQUE effects
a be produced by means of the corn
decorations. Dresses, capes and hats
OF husks, with cob and kernel trim
mings, do not look 30 bad, and all
sorts of pictures can be made of the
parti-colOred grains.
