attorneys Take Another
whirl 1t the Peoples Gas
Company Litigation.

Tuesday the case of Francis Rogers
Va. the stockholders of the Peoples
Gas company was argued before
Judge Searle. "A. P. blanchard APP
peared for Rogers, E. P.rAdams for
some Of the stockholders, d. Z.
Calhoun, for other stockholders, and
G.. w. Stewart for p. H. GROSS.
u Rogers had bought about $2,S00 In
4 claims against the corporation. and
Mr.. Wetzel, of st. Cloud, about 500
more, and this suit is to determine
the individual liability of the stock
holders for these claims. Gross
claims that the present holders Of the
claims cannot sue or collect from the
stockholders. He also claims that he
! is not stakeholder, asno certificate
was eve, issued to him. Those two
propositions We're argued ON, and
the decision of the Judge will settle
who can he held for the debts. AtI
the time of the corporation. $4,000
stock was subscribed, Of which Mr..
Gross was supposed to take $4,000.
Later some OF the subscribers failed
to put ND anything, and less than
$5,OOO was ever paid In. None OF the
other local stockholders subscribed
more than $500, and most of them
from 800 to $500. 70 paw the OBJ
legations of the. company would
require the stockholders to pay In
about as much more as they did to-
Jpay their subscriptions. Several OF
the stockholders are willing to pay |
their share, and the suits are to COM
pei Gross and Others to pay what Is
claimed they should.
There are many peculiar circum-
stances surrounding the suits. The
company ut one time voted to issue
.sbonus'' stock to the amount of
four times tho subscription, and
some who never received the ''bonus'
stock claim that their assessment to
pay debts should I've correspondingly
less. Some uf the heaviest .stock-
holders" never received any stock at
all-among them Mr.. Gross-and
that point furnishes material for
legal disputes. Mr.. Gross was
really the organizer and head Of the
company,
The litigation promises to last
for.some time, as 1t is doubtful II
either side will he content to give up |
until the supreme court has t41ls'.! settled
the various questions. +, IA.

Agriculture in High Schools.

Hon. Samuel James Logan of Penn
sylvania discusses in the American Maya
zine of Civics the education of the farmer.
He holds the view that no other class of
citizens fills a position as diversified in in
terests and comprehensive and important
in its relations as the farmer. When to
these important relations is added the
weight of numbers, his education becomes
of more moment to himself and to the
nation than that of any other class. Mr..
Logan holds that for lack of education he
is subject to Unnecessary losses, that he is
ignored, and that the price of his labor
and of his products Is fixed by Others who
constitute but small minority. Thus
he says that In his own country about IA, =
900 voters are attached to the soil, yet q
small minority govern the majority In q
manner conspicuous for Its seltishness
His proposed remedy Is not education at
agricultural colleges, for these educate
him away from the farm so that they aid
every prOIeSSlOu Uub us OWu III oTueT
that he may acquire an education that will
bring to him elevated tastes and refined
society, he proposes first the high school
in every township, where every science
pertaining to agriculture shall be taught
by competent instructors thereby incul-
eating and disseminating tho knowledge
obtained by scientific Investigations. in
PRODUCING the latest and most approved
method employed In every department of
agricultural pursuits.
Mr.. Logan believes that this informa-
ton will give new inspiration and
new force to farm life. OF course he In
tends that all agricultural literature shall
have a place in the library of the proposed
high school and be made familiar to It's
members. Mr.. Logan would have the
high schools give thorough knowledge
of the formation and maintenance OF gov
ern,nents and impart a knowledge OF
political economy. One of the ends OF
this movement would be the knowledge
and use of the power of farmers for the
good of themselves and the state

When Casey SIugged the Ball.

oh, you all have heard of Midwife,
Heard Of mighty Casey, too;
VI the groans amid the bleachers
AS the ball thrice past him flew;
But you haven't heard the story,
The best story of them all,
Ofthe day in happy Midwife,
When great Casey slugged the ball.
Twas the day they played "the giants"
And the score stood ten to eight;
Two men were on the bases,
And great Casey at the plate.
"Swipe her, Casey" yelled the rooters,
And the hero DOTTED his cap;
three to win and two to tie
And Casey at the bat.
Mid hush of expectation
Now the ball flies past his head;
Great Casey grins u sickly grin;
Strike one" the umpire said.
Again the pitcher raised his arm,
Again the hoJ sehide flew
Great asey spat upon The ground,
And the umpire said, "Strike two
"It's a roast" came from the grand stand,
"6e is bought without doubt"
He is rotten!" roared the bleachers,
Throw the daylight robber Out"
TN break your face" says Casey,
That wan wint below me knee;
II miss the mkt, ye BLACKBOARD,
Ye won't live long to see."
me next one came ike lightning,
And the umpire held his breath,
For well he knew if Casey missed,
'Twould surely mean his death;
But Casey swung to meet it,
Backed by his nerve and gall:
Oh, ii you had but heard the yell,
AS Casey smashe the ball!
He caught the pigskin on the nose,
1t cleared the big town lot,
1t sailed above the high church tower,
In vain the fielders sought;
And Casey didn't even run,
He stopped awhile to talk,
And then amid the deafening cheers
He came round in walk.
And now he keeps fine saloon,
He is mayor of the town,
, he people flock to see him,
FROM ali the country round;
And you need not look for Midwife
On the map upon the wall,
Because the towns allied Caseyville
Since Casey slugged the ball.
