Against the County.

The supreme court yesterday handed
down it's decision in the suit of ex-
Sheriff Charles E. Chapel against the
board Of county commissioners for fees
in serving warrants for the collection
of personal property taxes which were
returned unsatisfied:
Chapel claimed to have served 5,154
Of these warrants. which were returned
unsa tisfied, for the reason that no prop
erty was found on which to levy, and
he demanded 81 fer each warrant. The
commissioners refused payment, and
the district court sustained them in
their refusal.
Chapel appealed to the supreme court,
and, in decision handed down yester-
day, Justice Canty affirmed the decision
Of the district court overruling a
former decision of the supreme court in
the case Of Schmud VS.. Brown county,
in which it was held that these fees
could be collected.
The decision now Is that the sheriff
is not entitled to fees for making re-
turn Of no property.

VICTORY FOR WINONA
In the Reversal of Damage Suit
Verdict.

The city Of Winona secures from the
supreme court a reversal Of a verdict
for damages secured by Mrs. Anna
Tarras, who was injured while driving
along a public road leading out Of this
city.
The road in question runs along a.
high embankment across a swamp
Mrs. Tarras' horse suddenly stopped
and backed the wagon over the en-
bankment, spilling her and her two
children out into the swamp below.
She sued the city on the ground that
it should have maintained a railing or
other protection along the embank-
ment.
The supreme court, in reversing the
trial court, holds that 1t would impose
too great a burden upon the taxpayers
to protect all high public roads Of this
kind with ratings. and they are bound
to do so only where there Is some
special danger. A new trial is granted

ABOUT CERTIoRARI wRITs.
Reversal of the Lower Court Is Far
Teaching.

The district court is also reversed in
the matter Of the estate Of Oliver E.
Wilbur, F. W. Schultz, ct al, respond
ents, VS.. Patrick Taller, administrator
ct al, appellants.
The cause arose from a mistake Of
the legislature in the statutes of 1894.
emitting the word "certiorari" from
Sec 1897 In 1897 the law was again
amended by replacing the word, but the
supreme court holds that during the
interval between 1894 and 1897 the dis
trict court had not authority to issue
writs of certiorari.
The decision is likely to have a
sweeping effect, since many Of these
writs must have been issued by the dis
trict courts during the three years in,
tervening between the two amend

GIVES OFF LIGHT.
An Ever Active Glow Issues from n
Recent BIt of Uranium.

ASccc'lt Alt Oh Uranium.
In a recent lecture before the Royal
society Lord Kelvin indicated the cor
RICHNESS Of Noita's early theories in
relation to contact electricity. He
showed That when Il zinc plate and q
copper plate are brought into contact
with one another and then separated
one was charged with positive electrici-
ty and the other with negative. He
further demon2tra that this was not
due to oxidation by air or the moisture
of the atmosphere, as is stated in the
textbooks of the day. Lord Kelvin
exhibited other experiments illustrate
ing clcctrifcation produced by means
Of dissimilar metals, and showed some
curious properties possessed by urani-
um. If plate of this metal was con-
nected with an eiectrometer and
touched by n plate of aluminium posi-
tive electriiication was produced, grad
ually changing past zero to negative.
He also demonstrated that the rays
given off by uranium in q dark room
are q constant property of the sub
stance and not slow radiation OF
previously absorbed light, as has been
claimed, but he could offer no solution

INDIAN RAIN-MAKERS.
Crafty Red Men Who Adapt Their
Efforts to the Weather.

Crafty Red Men Who Adapt Their
Efforts to the Weather.
All the Indian tribes had rain-mak-
ers, and some are yet left. This is one
of their methods of operation, explains
the New York Tribune. A large body
of Crow Indians had gathered, all
decked out in their best finery. Two
elderly men retired a short distance
and seemed to be mumbling to each
other something like prayers or invoca-
tons; after some time fire was made
OH the bank of the stream, when the
two rain-rnallers gave an order and a
young man plunged into the river,
which was there very deep. When he
came up, he had blue catfish in his
hand, which one of the old men took
and threw into the fire, the tribe look
ing on in perfect silence. Then there
was mere mumbling, accompanied by
various contortions and gesticulations,
when the gathering dispersed. 1t rained
that. night. Perhaps, on the whole, the
Indian ruin-maker is more generally
successful than the civilized one occa-
sionaliy appearing on the frontier in
times Of drought, the former having q
shrewdcr and more experienced fore
cast of weather probabilities and put
ting in his inCantations at the right
time.

EiShest at Gibraltar and Lowest on
the Island OF Malta.
In no place on the surface of the globe
is rent SO high as at Gibraltar, the req
son being, says the Philadelphia In
quirer. that the geographical position
of the town precludes the possibility
Of it's being extended in any direction.
a lorg, narrow strip of what was once
sea beach is alone available for build
ing purposes. All the rest is nrecipitous
rock.
Upon this narrow parapet, in some
cases less than 100 yards in width, are
crowded the homes of $4,000 people.
AS much as ten dollars q week is asked
and obtained for the use of one small
room, and this, too, in place where
the normal rate Of wages is quite ten
per cent. less than in America. Natural
ly, the overcrowding is fearful, and,
the water supply being scarce and in
tcrmittent, cleanliness of living, as we
understand it, is almost impossible.
No wonder that in the old days the
plague and the cholera ravagcd the
crock" with virulence unknown in the
filthy and pestilential cities of the far
cast.
In Malta, on the other hand, house
rent is ridiculously cheap. Anywhere
outside of Valetta an excellent seven
room house can be had for SIS n year,
while rates and taxes are unknown.
The houses are built entirely Of the
crcam-colorcd stone Of which tic island
is composed, and which is so soft that

slabs of any desired size CT shape. So,
while the Maltese builder is digging up
his foundation, he is at the same time
getting out the material for his walls,
his flooring and his roof.
