ELKHART, Ind. May 4.-City Attorney
Turner has rendered an opinion in response
TO a request from Treasurer Abel to the eff
feet that the road-tax law. which was sup
posed to have been repealed by the last
Legislature. has not been in any way af-
fected by the action of that Legislature and
is now in full force. as it has been since
1867. and. according to Mr.. Turner'S decision
the city may continue to collect a road tax
of s2.D from every man In the city between
the ages of twenty-one and forty-ive years.
The attorney bases his opinion on the off,
cial copy of the acts OF 1899. as recently is
sued. Chapter 22i subtitle shows IL TO have
been the purpose TO amend a certain Section
5 and also a certain Section 81. but in the
text only Section 5 Is mentioned and there is
no reference whatever TO Section 81. the
amendment or repeal of which was 10 wipe
out the road tax. This decision aroused
much discussion as this city collects about
three thousand polls each year. and the
supposed relief from such taxation was a
matter of much concern.

MORRISTOwN. Ind. May 4-rhe same
day the fish law went into effect the
Carthage S~trawboard Company began
emptying its refuse into the river, polluting
1t and destroying thousands of fish. Last
night an unusually large amount was
thrown into the river and all the fish in
the stream will probably be destroyed.
Those here that fish are perfectly willing 10
abide by the law, but they cannot see the
justice in their not being allowed TO fish,
while the ~strawboard company can
go on destroying the fish. The
same company destroyed all the fish
here a couple Of years ago. A suit
was instituted. but was compromised by the
company agreeing to see that no more poi
sonous refuse escaped into the river. They
built a reservoir and ran the stuff into that.
Recently they have been emptying into the
river directly without even a filter.

MALTREATED STORE-CLERKS.

THE reputation which some large
stores get for being disobliging to their
customers or having uncivil clerks
could in the majority of cases be
traced directly back to the shoppers
themselves" writes Edward Box, OF
Systemless Shopping, in the Ladies'
Home Journal. Il make no claim of
perfection for the clerks who stand
behind the counters of our great stores
where women shop. They are only
common mortals, full of faults. But
considering what they are called upon
to go through and endure at the hands
of thoughtless women, the constant
wonder is that they are so civil and
obliging. If the truth could be known
it would be found that they suffer far
more than they infiict suffering. If
the roll could be called of hard-work-
ing, innocent girls who have lost theil
positions because of ill-founded COM
plants made by influential custo-
mers whose accounts the firm could not
afford to lose, it would be roll of dis
grace to American shoppers. The girls
behind the counter are human-al-
though from the actions of some wo-
men we might believe otherwise
! human in their faults, but also in
their finer feelings. Very often they
represent better families, better breed
| ing, than that which is revealed tc
them from the other side Of the
counter"

down here certainly does not amount
to much, although there are about %
cases of the disease in Havana at the
present time. The absence of any
great amount of rain and the stringent
sanitary regulations put in operation
by the American authorities through
out the island are responsible for the
limited amount of yellow jack pre-
vailing. With the approach of cooler
weather even the present sporadic
cases will disappear, and there will be
no danger whatever attending a visit
