worn out and that it does not include any
long strings of brick walks to be put
down in the fields where they will be
allowed to so to ruin and be seldom
used. This is as it should be.
There are now forty 1.-TWO miles of board
walks in the city and it is only a ques-
ton of time when they will all be- re-
placed by brick or stone.
One thing that has stimulated the con-
domination of walks is the large mum Der
of accidents from defective board walks
and the attendant damage suits against
the city. An effort was made to have a
law passed making the property owner
liable for all accidents occurring on the
walk before his property, but the plan
failed.
The cost of laying the new brick
walks last year was $3.50 per lot, which
was cheaper than the work has ever been
done, and it made the brick walks almost
as cheap as if they had been made of
boards. If the contract is let at the
same figure this year, the walks now on
the condemned list would cost almost
$4,000, and when the list is completed
that amount will probably be doubled.

Antiairting Law a Failure.

The effort to provide by legislative en-
actment for the punishment of boys flirt-
ing with schoolgirls seems to havo been
unsuccessful in Virginia. About two
years ago law was passed making it a
misdemeanor, punishable upon conviction
by fine, for any man to loiter about fe-
male school. The president of prominent
Richmond female college was the first to
attempt a prosecution under the law.
Later similar attempt was made in one
of the border cities to convict young man
of ogling the girls. His counsel, however,
promptly gave notice that he would sub
ppna all of the lady teachers and many of
the girls and bring them into court as
witnesses. Rather than subject the ladies
to this humiliation the principal aban-
doned the prosecution. Tits line of de-
Tense indicates the futilitytof convicting
firters under the law, and it will be re-
pealed

LABOR THE COURTS.

Overmyer One Side, Rossington,
Smith and Dallas the Other.
The fight between the Cooper's union
and the Trades Assembly of Kansas City,
Kansas, and the Oxley Slave company of
st. Louis, will be bitter one.
The La Dor organizations have retained
kossington, Smith s. Dallas to resist the
application for injunction, while Over
Inyer & Mulvaue of Topeka, and ]. Perry
johnson of Poplar Bluffs, Mo, will rep
resent the stave company.
The question at issue is a boycott
claimed to have been made on the
product of the Oxley Stave company by
the labor organizations of Kansas City.
The stave company had been furnishing
good share of the barrels and casks
used in the big packing houses in Kan
sas City and they put in use machinery
for driving hoops which did away with
much of the labor employed
For the reason that the company would
not discontinue the use of the machine
they charge that the union declared
boycott on the product of the stave COM
pany in Kansas City and took steps to
prevent its use by the packing houses.
Judge Foster granted a restraining
order against the members of the union,
and the hearing was set for today ".
d. Rossington appeared and asked Judge
Foster to grant continuance.

A PLUM FOR FIVE.

Money Found Years Ago They Now Re
ceive.
A decision was handed down the other
day by Vice Chancellor Emery of New
Jersey by which about $1,000 will be di-
vided equally among five young men. On
Aug. 81, 1870, William eastman, Thomas
Fox, Robert Devine, Charles Fox and
William Crawford were roaming along the
banks of the Elizabeth river, at Elizabeth
N. J., near the Pennsylvania railroad
tracks, when Crawford picked up an old
stocking tied at both ends and full of
something. Crawford, then 9 years old
was the youngest of the five. He began to
swing the stocking as a plaything. He
says eastman took the stocking from him.
but the others say he threw it down and
then eastman picked it mp. However that
was each took turn hitting the others
with it.
Finally it burst and some rags and rib
hons fell out together with a roll of bills.
The boys counted 1855. They started to
divide the cash, but were interrupted, and
finally they took it to Fox s father, who
turned it over to John Keron, then chief
of police, with a request that he find the
owner. No owner ever appeared. Craw-
ford wanted it all on the ground that he
found tho money. The others demanded
that it be equally divided, and the case
was carried to court. After various COM
plications it got into chancery, where it
lay for a long time.
When they found the money, they were
mere schoolboys. Now three of them are
married, while the division Of the money,
which has been increased by interest, will
probably lead to the marriage of q fourth.

III CASE OF WAX.
We Could Support Ourselves For an I'm
limited Period of Time.

limited Period of Time.
Since the war scare was started consid-
cradle attention has been devoted to some
statistics recently published by Michael
Mulhall, the English statistician and DO
htical economist. They relate to the pro-
ducing powers of the different nations of
the earth and go to show that were every
port in this country blockaded so that it
could have no communication with any
other country of tho world the people of
the United States could support them
selves in great abundance for any length
of time. They could raise food, manu-
facture clothing from home grown raw
material as we'll as provide arms, NUM-
lions of war, build ships and railroads and
do everything else necessary for the pro-
lection, well being and prosperity of the
country.
By the figures which he has tabulated
Mr. MulhaIl shows that from 1920 to 1890
the foot ton power of the United States in
creased from 1922, 00O 900 of foot tons
daily to 1919, SO6, 900, 600 foot tons. foot
ton is a method statisticians have of
measuring the producing powers of a
country. It signifies the ability of man
to accomplish with ordinary exertion in
ten hours an amount of work equal to
raising 300 tons one foot high. In 1890
the forces at the command of Americans
were equal to 446 foot tons of power per
caput of the population. By 1890 the pro-
ductive forces had increased to 1, $40 foot
tons per caput.
No other civilized nation in the world
possesses equal power. This country is
the worlds food producer. 1t raises more
grain, stock and other foodstuffs than any
other nation. It grows more cotton and
yields more mber, iron, coal and other
natural products which go to minister to
mans comfort, happiness and wealth.
Next to it in the scale comes Great Brit
ain, the producing power of which is /, 40
foot tons to the inhabitant daily. Ger
many's forces amount to 902 foot tons for
each person daily, those of Franco to 90
foot tons, those of Spain to $50 foot tons,
those of Austria to $50 foot tons and those
of Italy to $50 foot tons.-Chicago Post.

NEW SHAKER PLAN.
Elder Oxford to Head a Reformed Com
munity In the West.

Elder OhOrd to Head q Reformed Com
munity In the West.
The two clipping Shakers, Elder Daniel
Oxford and Sister Mabel franklin, from
New Lebanon, are to play a prominent
part in a new Industrial community along
Shaker lines, except that celibacy will not
be practiced. Elder Oxford, it is stated, be-
1ieves that he has, after 25 years of study,
discovered the causes of the decline of
Shakerdom, and now intends to lend his
aid to new community of social Shaker
ism in California.
In this he will have the cooperation, it
is said, of a number of the most proIni-
nent members of the north family of
Lebanon Shakers, and the intention is to
throw the doors open to all, regardless of
creed or belief. Elder Oxford is said to be-
lieve that compulsory celibacy is neither
in the interest of purity nor of the prog
ress of cooperative community. The
north family at Lebanon, it is said, will
go in body to California, and at least as
many more will desert from the Shakers
at Lebanon, Watervliet, Hancock, Mass.
Shirley, Mass, and in Connecticut, Ohio
and Kentucky.
Negotiations will be attempted to sell
the north family's Lebanon property out
right, so that the reforIners will have at
least 800, 600 with which to enter upon
the California enterprise
