Tulare Register: The new Stratton
primary law has had a trial at Stock
ton, and is found to- work we'll with
honest voters and very i'll with dishon-
est voters. At Stockton there was a
hot tight in the Republican ranks, and
no light at all in the Democratic camp.
SO some hundreds. of Democrats quietly
voted the Republican ticket either to
help out their friends on that side or
to help to nominate the easiest man
for their side to beat. OF course the
man who will do a thing of that sort
is a political scoundrel and deserves
to be in a penitentiary, and the prl-
mary law will not. be effective until
some means is devised for either put
ting the men who so violate the law
into the penitentiary yor disfranchising
them for ever more How can either
of these remedies be applied? That is
the question.

IF sulphur is such sure preventa-

Friday. Here is the Sulphite mill
where the fumes reach the city. much
of the time Then there is the town of
Madison, where the sulphur fumes are
constantly going up and down, the big

too, with carloads of the yellow stuff,
is right there in the center of the
town. Yet half the inhabitants are
sick. Is sulphur preventative"

resented in the former Maine polo
league are again planning upon having
the sport, Augusta is serenely con-
tented ito abide by the amusement it
can secure by the presence of the legis-
lators of the State. However. the polo
lovers would like to have seen Angus
ia represented in the league. The Au-
gusta team, though lit played to a
slight loss. came out of the December
race in fully as good circumstances as
any of the clubs. In the meanwhile
we can watch our old team as it wins
victories in the big league, and speak
of it as our team.

LAW COURT DECISION.
kennebec Log Driving Co. Wins Case With
Manufacturing investment Co.

a rescript was received. this week.
from the law court in favor of the
Kennebec Log Driving Co. in its suit
against the Manufacturing Investment
Co, which has attracted a great deal
Of attention among the lumbermen on
the river.
The case grew out of a controversy
between the parties as to their respec-
tive rights at the sorting boom of the
defendant at Madison and was brought
to recover the amount expended by the
plaintiff at that point in the driving
season of 1897, owing to the alleged ne
glect on the part of the defendant TO
properly pass the logs of other owners
through it's boom.
The case was tried at the March
county, Messrs. II. NJ. Heath and L. G.
Cornish of this city, being counsel for
plaintiff. and Messrs. S. J. Walton of
Skowhegan, and c. A. WILDER of Madi-
son, counsel for defendant. and after
a trial of eight days verdict was rem
dered in favor of the plaintiff for $4260.
the full amount claimed.
The defendant then filed motion
for new trial before Judge Whftehouse,
the presiding judge, on the ground
that the verdict was against evidence,
and this motion was overruled. The
defendant then carried the case to the
law court on exceptions. The law
court has now overruled the exceptions
and ordered judgment on the verdict.
