occupies a high position in his chosen

elevate the position to the dignity of

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Judge Grimm Makes an Interesting
Ruling-A Saving to Jefferson Co

Judge Grimm Makes an Interesting
Ruling-A Saving to jefferson Co.
A decision of much Importance to
Jefferson county was rendered by
Judge Grimm in the county court last
week in the matter of the application
of the board of trustees of the Jefer-
son county insane asylum for an order
requiring the guardian of Christina
Haag, an insane person supported at
the Jefferson county asylum, to pay to
the county a reasonable compensation
for her support and maintenance dur
ing the last SIX years and for her future
support. The application was made
under Subd. II of Section 604n Of the
Annotated Statutes, which makes the
property and estates of an insane per-
son kept in county asylum liable for
his support and maintenance and
chargeable for the payment thereof in
all cases where parent, wife or child
is not dependent on such property for
future support.
The case was ably and thoroughly
argued by w. H. Porter for the board
and R. 3. Kirkland for the guardian
The decision of Judge Grimm covers
eleven closely written pages. It re-
views all the evidence and the law
applicable to the case as we'll as the
arguments of the counsel. From the
evidence in the case the judge finds
that the total cost to the county for
the support Of Christina Haag during
the six years Immediately preceding
the com cement of the action was
$2.75 per week. Of this amount the
state has credited the county S150
per week, leaving the net cost to the
county 1925 per week, amounting, for
the six years, to the sum of $500. This
amount the guardian was ordered to
pay.
The prayer for an order to pay a
sum certain for future support was
denied as not authorized by the statute,
the court holding that the law requires
the value or cost of the support to be
ascertained and the liability to be ere
ated before an order for payment can
be made.
Under this decision the board OF
trustees will have no difficulty in re-
covering for the county compensation
for the support of insane people in
great many cases where this statute is
applicable; that is, where the patient
has property sufficient to pay for his
support and where no parent, wife or
child is dependent thereon for future
support Jefferson Banner.

Colonel .Tosenb I.eHal.

A veritable Ohio party sat in the lob
by of the Raleigh the other evening,
when fully half a dozen Buckeyes
joined each other by chance. One Of
them was Major George Anderson Of
Springfield.
"Our city will probably next spring
enjoy the distinction of having the
smallest mayor in the world, said he.
"All that is lacking is his election, for
he has announced himself as a candi-
date. His name is Colonel Joseph L.effel.
His popularity is very great. He is one
of the most noted personages in the
world, and is even smaller than Cen
eral Tom Thumb. Repeated fabulous
offers have been made to him to travel
for exhibition purposes, but he has al
ways declined, and turned his attention
to raising fancy poultry and pet dogs,
from which he made quite fortune.
Colonel Leffel was born in 1888. 1t
is said his father was 6 feet inch high
in his stocking feet, and that his moth
er weighed 200 pounds. He married a
little lady scarcely larger than himself,
and they have four pretty children, all
of normal size. The candidate once was
a member of the city council. Wash

Much Ado Acknowledging.

A certain prince of Orange was gen.
eralissimo of the Austrians at the end of
the last century. He fought against the
French in Italy, died, and was buried
at Padua (1799). For four years the
Dutch government has been in treaty
for the princes remains, and after an
endless amount Of diplomatic negotia-
lions and correspondence matters were
arranged, Dutch man-of- war arrived
in Venice, and, after another three
weeks delay, surmounting the last diff
ficulties raised by the church and red
tape Of che Italian government, last
Thursday was the day fixed for opening
the tomb and conveying the remains to
Venice, to be transported by the man-of
war, and ultimately deposited in the
family vault at Delft.
1t was most impressive ceremony.
A representative of the queen of Hol-
land came expressly. Admirals, gener-
ais. officials galore, special trains, fu-
neral car, troops lining the way, minute
guns and flags half mast high, and then
the tomb was opened and contained

The Origin OF a Name.

There is general belief that Gun
ner's run, i'll Kensington, received its
name from the fact that a great many
sportsman frequented the banks Of the
stream before the time of Kensington
becoming portion of the built ur city.
This belief is held by some of those who
live In the vicinity. As matter of fact,
the now malodorous stream received its
name from one of the early Swedish
settlers who took up his residence ON its
banks His name was Gunnar Rambo,
or Ghunar Rambo. When the English
settlers came to Kensington, they soon
corrupted the name to Gunner, and this
was in time applied to the stream -

My friend, he spoke of a woman's face:
II puzzled me- and paused to think.
He told of her eyes and mouth, the trace
OF prayer on her brow. and quick as wink
said; ooh. yes, but you wrong her years
She's only a child, with faiths and fears
That childhood fit. tell thee nay;
She was girl just yesterday
"The years are swift and sure. trow,"
Quoth he, 'you speak of the long ago."
Once strolled in garden spot
And every flower appraised head.
So it seemed, for they, wot
We're mates of mine-each bloom and bed.
Their hours for sleep, their merry mood.
The lives and deaths of the whole sweet brood
We're known to me; it was my way
To visit them but yesterday.
Spake one red rose in language low,
''we saw you last in the long ago"
It's the same old tale. though it comes to me
By hundred paths of pain and glee,
Till guess the truth at last. and know
That yesterday is the long ago.
