Syllabus-This was an action to recov
er damages for the wrongful acts of the
defendant in diverting the water from
rain and melting snow from a natural
channel and casting it in destructive
quantities upon PLAINTIFFS land.
l. Held, that the evidence was sufl-
cient to justify the trial court in submit
ting to the jury the question whether the
water in question from rain and melted
snow was accustomed to flow through a
natural and well defined channel
2. Held. further, following Mcclure v.
City of Red Wing, 25 Mimi 1876, that the
court did not err in charging the Jury
that If the water was so accustomed to
flow in such natural and well defined
channel the defendant had no right to
obstruct and divert the water to the in
jury of the plaintiff.
3. Upon the record in this case II is
held that the trial court correctly ruled
that the injuries to the plaintiffs land
must be regarded as permanent and that
the measure of his damages was the de-
probation in its value caused thereby.

Teaching Politics.

Post Dispatch: Dnring the recent
political canvass one of the Detroit
high schools went into politics.
A regular campaign was carried on
and an election held. Speaker. dis
cussed questions Of the day and, at
the end, the machinery of election was
faithfully reproduced in little. The
pupils were taught all the details
practically from the ballot box at the
polls to the casting of the electoral
votes and the counting in the presence
of the two Houses.
If partisan pelitics can be kept out
of such instruction the experiment is
worth repeating.
There is a remarkable ignorance OF
the simplest facts Of the American
political system. Intelligent men,
successful in their several callings,
and otherwise we'll informed, are often
astonishingly ignorant of the rudi-
ments of the subject. During the
past few months the Post-Dispatch
has received scores of letters, many
of them from just such men, asking
questions which indicate a total lack
| of the sort of knowledge and under.
standing which are the beginning of a
voters fitness to vote.
| Instruction in the school might be
OF vast benefit in this respect.

Fi0ry Should Hold Over.

Investigation so far very clearly in
dicates that Mr.. Harrington, the Rail-
road and Wherehouse Commissioner
elect, diu not qualify for the position
before his death. and as the law is ex-
plicit on the point that the incumbent
shall hold the Office "until his sue
cessor shall be elected and qualified.
it would seem that, under the law, Mr..
Flory must hold over.
If. however, this view of the matter
shall not be maintained, then, in view
of the fact that SO many people be-
lieye it to be the law, and in consider
alton of the magnificent race made
for Governor, it would certainly be a
very graceful act on the part Of Gov.
Dockery, and one that would be ap-
preciated by all classes, to appoin,
Mr.. Flory to fill the place.

1t is a vital inquiry. For nearly a

never dominate the white man. An

The Orator and the Hearer,

Directly in front Of the spellbinder
sat an elderly and earnest looking
man in plain, substantial garb OF
an honest farmer, and to him the
orator addressed his next remark.
"My FRIEND" he said, did you see
the item in the paper this morning
about the immense stock Of gold in
the Golfers Of the government"
"You bet did,' replied the honest
old farmer.
'Over e45O, 900, 600! Think of It'll
Nearly half billion Of dollars wrung
from the taxpayers of this trust-rid-
den country! Wrung from your toll
and sweat, old man! Four hundred
and fifty million dollars in gold! How
much gold have you b-en able to save
during the last four years of Repub
lican misrule, my working
friend?''
'I've saved my sheer, mistsr.' said
the elderly agriculturist, in a most
uncompromising manner. Don't
worry about that. And all the other
money I've got is as good as the gold.
Go on with your shoutin', and don't
pay no attention to me. I'll get

Which served in some degree to
dissipate the spell previously laid up
on the audience by the binder

FOUR PRISONERS
BROKE JAIL.
They made a Hole Through
the Steel Floor.
Then Escaped by Way of the
Rocf.

The sheriff and other officers are
looking for fonr prisoners who broke
/ Jail at jackson on Tuesday night at a
late hour.
Those who escaped were Monroe
and Ruben Benson, both of whom
we're held for murder in the first
degree. and George and Alex Smith,
| bound over to await the action OF
the Grand Jury for attempt to kill.
| 1t is now evident that their plans for
escape were we'll laid and they worked
diligently and noislessly until they
| gained their end.
The Jail at Jackson is one of the
best in all Southeast Missouri and
has always been considered to be a
safe place for prisoners. 1t has steel
compartment cells with very narrow
windows which are heavily barred,
while the floor and walls of the main
hall are also covered with steal. For
q number Of years barrel for hold
ing water has been setting in the prison
proper and the floor beneath the
barrel has been absorbing the damp
ness until the steel plate bst ame rusty
and was fast going to decay. This
only weak spot about the prison WAS
spied by the prisoners and they sought
that Is means Of escape. They re-
moved the barrel and prysd up the
steel shseting which readily gave way
and soon made a hole through the
hoor beneath, then to the second floor
by way OF the stairs and on up to the
sky light and then on the roof where
they tore their bed quilts into strips,
making a rope by which they decended
to the ground.
The work was quickly done and not
tho slightest noise betrayed them to
to the jailer who sleeps in the same
building. Their escape was not noticed
until Wednesday morning, but when
the alarm was given the sheriff made
all possible haste to put as many men
out on the search as possible.
As yet none have been captured but.
there is little hope for their escape as
the officers are covering the ground
rapidly and will soon have them sur
rounded.

SCOOP IN THE
POULTRY BUSINESS
Breaks the Record by IL, 900
Turkeys in Three Days.
The Western Poultry and
Game Company's Ener-
getic Push.

OF all the business enterprises in
this city none are deserving Of more
praise for their push, energy aud
business qualifications than the
Western Poultry and Game COMPANY.
This enterprise was established in
our city only a few years ago and At
a time when little attention was given
to the poultry business, but through
the energy and ability of Mr.. l.. r..
Gillian. its manager, who is gentle
man, courteous and obliging and ever
making friends among his business
associates of this city and the farmers
throughout the entire county. it has
developed from nothing into flourish
ing and prosperous enterprise. To
Mr.. Gillian is due the credit of build
ing up this business which is now
proving to be of untold value to the
farmers OF this county. 1t has en-
couraged the farmers TO devote more
attention to the raising OF poultry; it
has given them q market which they
can easily reach at comparatively
little expense and realize the highest
market value. Mr.. Gillian has always
made it . rule to give the farmer every
advantage, and many a time when
there was sudden drep on turkeys,
chickens and geese in the Eastern
market he still held up the price.
Such actions as these have won for
him and his firm q reputation through
the entire county, and there is never
= day passes but what he receives
large shipments from Jackson, Oak
Ridge, Millervilie, Burfordsville, and
in fact all OF the surrounding towns
who realize the value of the market
here to which they make their ship
ments.
During the past ten days Mr.. Gilli-
Ian has received from the above men
toned places 1900 turkeys, 5000
chickens, 1000 geese, 1000 ducks, and
also numerous shil.msntsof wild game.
He has on hand at present more
than 1000 turkeys which he is pastur-
ing Oh the old fair grounds. They
dress, for the Eastern market an
average Of one thousands fouls per
day, while their shipments of wild
game are exceedingly large for this
part of the country. One hundred
dozen quail and perhaps as many
wild ducks are received daily; also
snipe, rabbits, squirrels, ''possum,
"coon" are received in large quanti-
ties.
The work of dressing the game and
fowl is done systematically and by ex-
perienced hands. They are then nicely
packed On ice and shipped to the city
market.
This is a worthy enterprise, one
that our city is proud of and one that
should encourage the farmers through
out Cape county to devote more time
to the raising Of poultry, an occupa-
ton that is more profitable in the
long run than the cultivation of soil,
and one to which is attached less labor
with larger profits and nearby
market to which he can dispose of
for the highest cash value.
