Rulings of the Attorpey-Genera,.

Attorney-General Johnson has written
letter to Gov Stone in relation to JUS
tees of the peace and constables, dcfin-
ing sections 1892 and 1857 Of the Code OF
1892, saying:
"The law provides two justices OF the
peace for each supervisors district; the
board OF supervisors has the power to
subdivide into three justice districts, in
which case there shall be three justices,
and the boundaries OF each must be
accurately described. Section 767 pro-
vides that 'one constable shall be chosen
in each districts; when there are three
justices of the peace districts in super
visors district three constables must be
elected. The supervisors cannot form
justice district out Of parts Of two
supervisors districts All local and
special statutes are repealed by the Code
of 1892, and section 2392 is the law gov
erning this subject"
In letter to State Superintendent
Preston the Attorney-General says
teacher cannot engage in the sale OF
school books, while employed as a
teacher. lie may, however, surrender
his license to the county superintendent,
thus ceasing to he teacher, and engage
in the sale OF school books or any other
business. A teacher thus resigning
wonld be com pelled to stand another
examination il he wanted to teach again.
In letter to the president of the
board of supervisors of Choctaw County
the Attorney-General says section S605
Of the code permits election districts to
be changed but it cannot be done within
six months of an election"
In reply to a letter from ]. Holmes
Baker, Of Sunfower County, the Attor-
ner-General says when a sheriff sum-
mons juries in coroner's inquest, he
acts as sheriff, not constable, and is en-
titled to sheriff's fees.
To Cochran & Bozeman, OF Meridian,
the Attorney General writes that when
county convicts are being worked on the
roads the officers are entitled to their
costs from the county after the convict
has performed the labor and not before.
He thinks sheriffs who capture escaped
convicts and bring them from other
counties are entitled to pay for such
| services.

Suing For Damages From Spooks.

One of the most peculiar lawsuits
ever filed in the United States is ON the
court docket at Charlottesville, Ind.
Three years ago a passenger train on the
Monon route was wrecked near the
home of John Elliott, north Of the city.
The train rolled down an embankment,
and one coach was burned, five persons
killed and 20 injured. The injured were
taken to the house of Elliott. Now he
wants 81, 900 damages from the railroad
because, he alleges, the health Of his
family has been bad ever since the
wreck, and this is caused by the sound
Of groans from the injured that vibrate
through his house every night, and
when they 60 outdoors at night the
''spirits" of those killed in this wreck
can be seen walking up and down the
track in front of his house. He wants
all these things stopped and damages
for the annoyance which has caused
sickness in his family. He says he has
dreamed about the wreck every night
since it happened. st. Louis Republic.

An Incident Tha. Shakes Ones Faith In
the Chivalry Of the Modern Man.
This is a bit of genuine scandal. Ev.
erybody likes scandal. 1t Is always such
a comfort to find oneself q little better
than ones neighbor. This bit OF scandal
is true too. There is a young man now
living in Chicago who used to live in
Washington. He was engaged to q
Washington girl, but rumors concerning
her reached him out in Chicago. They
said, these rumors, that she had gone
out to supper after the theater, and
looking on the wine when it was red
had become just a little boisterous.
Her immaculate fiance came to Wash.
ington. He did not say a word to her Of
the rumors which had filed his soul
with horror, but he took her to the the
alter and to supper afterward.
The Widow Cliquot was the third
party at the supper, and the girl, like
every other woman on earth, likes
champagne. Her sweetheart urged her
to drink, assuring her it would do her
no harm whatever. She drank. In fact,
she corrugated the verb to drink in
more than one tense. She became I'M
mistakably intoxicated. Then the gal
liant young man slipped her engagement
ring of, bundled her into q carriage and
took her home. She hasn't seen him
since. OF course he couldn't think of
marrying that sort Of a girl, you know.
1t is things like that that keep ones

dous joke, and you may be able 20 see

TO SEARCH FOR DIAMONDS.
A Promising Field For Them Believed to
Exist In Alaska.

A Promising Field For Them Believed to
Exist In Alaska.
From the Alaska News it is learned
that John G. Brady, n of the most
prominent citizens Of Alaska, has q
scheme on foot to explore Mount Edge
combe with a diamond expert and search
for diamonds, which are thought to ex-
list there. Late last fall q hunter and
prospector brought in some brilliant,
looking lava ashes to Sitka and showed
them to MI. Brady. The latter sent
them to an expert in San Francisco,
who returned word that an investiga-
ton should be made at the earliest op-
portunity. The contents of that letter
contained astounding information -
pumice stone and scoria had all the ele-
ments for the presence of diamonds.
Mr.. Brady has perfected plans to reach
the extinct crater of Mount Edgecombe
as soon as the snow and weather will
permit, with the help Of the expert,
search the lava beds and pumice stone
high and low, and will delve into the
earth with searching scrutiny to learn
if nature has had the elements there to
crystalline carbon into its purest gem
the diamond. If they find diamonds OF
Mount Edgecombe, there will certainly
be a rush of people to Sitka.
