Street Gutter Case Decided.

Judge Gardner heard the Harris VS..
The City of Hot Springs case and
handed down his decision Wednesday.
The action was begun in the Novem-
ber term of court and adjourned from
time to time till the present hearing.
The details of the case are familiar to
all the readers of the STAR, the point
of controversy being the wording of
the plans and specifications by which
Harris fulfilled his contract with the
city for building a street gutter on
Minnekahta avenue. The judge
granted the Harris reading of the con-
tract which calls for just double the
feet held by the city to be the proper
one. The question then resolved it.
self into a matter of measurment.
Harris claimed oil 9-1O yards, the
measurement of City Engineer Sawyer,
and the city claimed there was but lib
yards. The judge decided the meas
urement to be 15O yards for which the
city pays $3.50 per yard. Neither side
will appeal.

Resignation of Prof. McDon.l,.

The many friends of Prof. Mcdonald
will learn with genuine regret of her
resignation from the faculty OF Black
Hills college. \ graduate of the col.
lege, she was the first of the alumni to
be elected to a professorship in the
college. By her excellent work in the
class room and unassuming manners,
she greatly endeared herself to the
students and patrons and will be great
ly missed. We understand she will
spend a few weeks here resting from
work and then take up line of post
graduate work at Chicago university.
The best wishes of host of friends 90

MEETING OF THE COUNTY BOARD.
An Important Business Session of Great
lnterext to TaXDuYers

Interest to Taxpayers.
The board of county commissioners
have been in session since Tuesday,
most of their time being occupied with
closing up the matter of the county
Gepasit with the First National bank.
The board had purchased from the
receiver up to noon Thursday, about
$500 worth of city property and ap-
piled the amount on the certificate. It
is probable that the entire amount will
be cleared up by this process. The
property purchased by the commission
ers is choice, income producing resi-
dences and business property and in
cludes the Herald office building and
the residences occupied by DIR. Adams,
d. B. Cook and Henry Pike. The
county also purchased for the use of
the county treasurer the fine, burglar
proof safe with time lock, allowing
therefor 1926. The safe originally cost
about $1,000.
The present board of county COM
missioners is to be commended for the
efficient and business like manner in
which they have conducted the affairs
of the county during the past year.
1t is unquestionably the best board the
county has had for number of years
and the STAR, in behalf of an ap-
preciative constituency, hereby tenders
them a vote of thanks for their faithful
service.

When o'rr it there was hung IL sable pnll

And black and lurd had grown the hearts of

A star, from far i'll Heavens ,lurl1encd dome,
Smiled through the Stygiun sin and brightly

With peace and pity all the world to cluim,
And pure and foul unite in one domain.
All cleanScd and purified by that great love
His Father gave. our God in Heaven above.

The GREAT Value 5f Lithography In the
World Of Modern Art.

The GREAT Value 5f Lithography In the
World Of Modern Art.
The full significance of Senefelder's
great discovery, just 100 years ago, was
not SO much that calcareous stone
may be bitten by weak solution of
acid, SO that the raised portion when
creased (the surrounding parts being
wet) may print in a press like wood
cut-though with a scraping, not q di-
rect downward, pressure-but it consist
edin the demonstration. in the first place,
that prints from it's surface may be re-
duplicated in vast numbers without Wis
ible deterioration. and in the second,
and still more important, that each such
print is practically an original. Nay,
more than this. Az NJ. II. p. Dillon re.
minds me in panegyric on his favorite
art, the greatest merit Of this method of
preserving and indefinitely multiplying
adrawing lies in the escape Of the artist
from the traduttore traditore-from mis-.
representations by engraver or by cam
era. Indeed, when the artist has made
his design upon the stone itself, each
impression from it is as much the
original as each and every photo
graphic print taken from q negative is
an original aud not copy of any other
thing. Even when the artist has drawn
upon transfer paper instead Of on the
stone proceeding for convenience sake.
which, in the opinion Of some purists,
is held in measure to invalidate tho
name of lithography as applied to it.
though not thereby rejecting in any de-
gree on the beauty Of the work itself),
the impressions taken are still originals,
inasmuch as the actual work, the artists
own lines and dots, have in due course
been transferred bodily by mechanical
pressure to the surface Of the stone, and
this, after it has been linked and printed
from, renders each proof then taken Of
equal excellence. And the point Of it all
is this. that until tho stone is linked and
print taken the artists work is not
complete; so that every print does really
become genuine original. M. II.

A SHOWER In THE VILLAGE.

This Word Picture Somehow Awakexs
Pleasant Memories.
Over the whole village that stiffness
reigns which only Sunday in summer
can produce. It is nearing the noon
hour, and there is glare Of sunlight
everywhere.
The quiet Of the streets seems to be
intensified as one approaches the corner
where the small stone church stands
alone. There is a service going on in.
side, and the rolling music of the organ
family waited from within reaches the
deserted streets outside. Rows Of houses
with closed blinds and unoccupied door
steps meet the eye ON every side. and
down q narrow lane near at hand q
freshly painted barn CLEANS hotly in the
fierce sunshine. Three Or four pigeons
have 6uttered to the roof and are SUM-
ming themselves and softly cooling.
Near the door Of the church horse
and buggy stand, and now and again
the animal, bothered by flies, stamps
and splashes in the shallow puddle un-
der him.
A dog trots lazily up the street and
stops on his way to chase and bark at
few belated sparrows One Of the pigeons
stalks with dignity across the roof, and
another flutters into the air with .
whirring sound and disappears.
The sound Of the organ has died quite
away and only the distant clucking of a
disturbed hen breaks the quiet. The SUM-
light seems to have taken on q darker
shade.
A sharp gust Of wind sweeps up and
down the street and rushes through the
foliage Of the sleeping trees. The spar
rows that occupied the street are not in
sight. No living thing is to be seen, and
the newly painted barn, that moment
ago looked scorched and blistered, seems
to have taken OH cooler tinge. The
breeze has died quite away, and there
is moment Of supreme stiffness.
Then dull, sullen sound that seems
like the roar Of distant train steals
upon the mir. It comes again, and there
is no mistaking tit is thunder. A
flurried hen runs across the lane and
disappears behind board just az three
large drops mark the dust covered side
walk. Drops are falling everywhere,
and as they increase in number they de-
crease in size. There is gentle pattsr
on the sidewalk. ON the house tops,
through the trees, which becomes more
and more hurried until it generates into
steady rush Of falling rain. The land
scape is almost shut out from sight.
Slowly and by hardly perceptible de.
grees the steady rush becomes q patter.
and the sun, with sudden brillianoe,
changes each drop to . glistening dia-.
mond.
The rain ceases and the sparkling
trees gently shake themselves In the
sunlight.
The shower IL over.-Walter n. ER-

KEEP THEM TOGETHER.

Senator Harris says Central and kanass
Pacific Roads should Not BE Sold Seps'
rately.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Senator Har-
ris, Of Kansas, who Is in the city, main
tains that the only way Of the govern
ment to escape . loss Of many millions
on the Central and Kansas Pacific
roads is to keep them together. BY
holding them in this way, he argues
the government may compel the Cen
trail Pacific TO purchase the
Kansas Pacific and thus avoid
the loss likely to follow the
policy Of the administration in per.
hitting the Union Pacific reorganiza-
ton committee to secure the main line
at separate sale. BY coupling the Kan
sas Pacific with the Central Pacific in
the proposed reorganization OF the
latter by the syndicate, in whose in
terest John G. Carlisle is now working,
Senator Harris believes lies the last
recourse to the government.

AN IMPORTANT RULING.

Federal Judge jackson Upholds Provisions
of the Civil service Law.
MARrINsBuRG,W w. Va, Nov. 0.-Judge
John j. jackson handed down deci-
sion which holds that transfer cannot
be made with trial, under the civil
service law, because it is equivalent to
removal. jackson insists that the APP
pointment of man to federal posi-
ton under the civil service law gives
him right in equity to the place
which he is not forced to surrender,
save for cause. Judge jackson re-
marks in his document that the leav-
ing Of discretionary powers in the
hands Of the heads of departments
makes the civil service dead letter.
He remarks that there is no doubt the
civil service law is entirely constitu-
tional. His second finding is that con-
cress has never delegated to the presi-
dent and the commission legisla-
tive power. His third point de-
clares that the internal revenue
service has been placed under the
merit code, and he also holds that any
attempt to change the position and
| rank Of officers in civil service depart
ments is a violation Of the law. He
therefore, ordered that the men who
had been shifted from good salarieC
places to smaller salaried places should
be reinstated.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. S.-The bankers
Of Kansas are almost q unit against
the proposition Of the government to
establish postal savings banks Last
week this question was submitted to
the 400 bankers in the state: "Do you
favor the postal savings bank SYSTEM"
Sixty bankers replied. All but two
opposed it. About the only objection
given was that the government should
not go any deeper into the banking
business; that there are too many
banks now, and that existing institu-
lions can handle the business. The
only bankers favorable to the system
were President E. l.. Meyer, Of the
First national bank Of Hutchinson,
and J. W. Sponable, president of the
Miami County national bank.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Nov. 4.-The Jour.
nal says: Stacy Smith, who was in
dicted yesterday in the federal court
for breaking into post office, is only
13 years old and is the son Of minis
ter. He committed the offense while
his father was preaching in q church
only a block from the post office.
His action brought to light a
curious state Of facts He was
considered incorrigible by his father.
and the boy claims that he was kept
chained to heavy ball SO he could
not get away. A little friend gave
him a key with which he released
himself, and he at once, so it is
charged, broke into the post office. He
took 50 cents worth Of stamps and
some gum, which he at once divided
with his chums. His brother John,
who is II years old, and who was ar.
rested with him, was not indicted.
The boys live at Eccles, Charlton
county, Mo.
