subject to taxation as such, nor does
1t cmbody power of attorney.

eNacted at the time of the adoption Of
the present constitution, and recognized
ever since. cannot now be deemed and
held a tax, and therefore unconstitu-
tional. Till 1868 the method of working
the roads was left entirely to the I,egis-
latme to prescribe, and if there had been
any intention to restrict the power or
the Legislature in that regard. or to
change the common law duty of the citi-
zen to work them, into tax, there
would have been some express provision

Saloon Men Say They Shall Not do
Business on Sunday.

Some of the saloon keepers are con-
siderably wrought up over the mayors
Sunday closing order. They do not so
much object to closing at midnight, but
there is trade which they get on Sun
day that they do not like to lose: Il They
say that if the saloons are to be made to
observe the Sunday law, other lines of
business must do the same, and drug
stores meat markets, news and cigar
stands, and especially soda fountains
must be closed. 1t is limited that steps
are to be taken to bring about this gen.
eral closing. Nothing is to be left open.
There is also talk of refusing to pa
tronize merchants who buy goods OF
Rosenberger & Currier.
1t is predicted by saloon men that
there will be more drunkenness on Sun
days hereafter than fore long time
past, as parties will procure kegs and
cases on Saturday nights and will go to
the groves in the outskirts of the city
and there imbibe until they become
hilarious.

the company's buyer at Avoca, David
Ryan, was found to be short last No
vember. Ryan gave 81, 600 bond with
the defendant in the above action as
surety. The surety, it is believed, will
give as its reason for not settling the
alleged shortage that the elevator scales
were out of order and favored the farm
ers. When the Hubbard & Palmer Co.
discovered the shortage, it let Ryan out
of his job. w. E. Young is attorney
