Injunction Filed.-The County Com
mssioners for this county were last week
temporarily enjoined by Judge McSherry
from constructing tile drain across the
Rockville and Georgetown turnpike at a
point near Bethesda, Immediately in front
of the property of the heirs OF the late A. L.
Brtton. The suit was brought by the Amer
lean Security and Trust Company of Wash
ington, trustees of the estate of Mr. Britton,
and as such holding title 10 the property
The County Commissioners are now en-
gagged in constructing pike and, according
to the bill filed in the case, were about to
put "a inch tile drain across the road in
front of the Brltton property. The bill al
leges that the construction of such drain
would necessitate the making of cause
way or embankment as an entrance to the
property OF Charles Bohrer on the opposite
side of the road. This would mean, the
bill further alleges, that large quantities OF
water would accumulate at the intersection
of the embankment and road, the inevitable
result of which would be TO cause water to
flow onto the Britton property in quantities
sufficiently large to do great damage.

AN EDITOR oUARANTINED.
A Former Bourbon Lady Teacher Has
Smallpox.

A Former Bourbon Lady Teacher Has
Smallpox.
A dispatch from Anderson SAYS that
the Clio club, composed of thirty of the
well-known literary women of the city,
has gone into quarantine undCr orders
of the city health department. About
two weeks ago the club had q meeting
at the home of Mrs. Wallace b. Camp
bell, the wife of Editor Campbell, of the
Herald. On that day Mrs. Campbell
was not feeling well, but she took part
in the program. Within few days
her illness was diagnosed as very
mild case of smallpox, and the Camp
bell home was qusrantined. The health
department then required all the mem
bers of the Clio club to be vaccinated,
and they were allowed some liberty un-
I'll Tuesday, when they retired into Sc
clusion for week. Some of them con-
tinue TO follow the club idea by going
TO the home of a member TO remain
until the quarantine is lifted. There is
doubt about Mrs. Camp6ell's illness be-
ing really smallpox, and all Of the club
women say they do not fear any i'll re-
suits from their meeting at her home.
Mr.. Campbell is perhaps the oBly
editor in quarantine at this time in In
diana. He is forbidden communication
with his ewspsper save by telephone
The health department declared that if
he had any manuscript for his office, it
must be fumigated before going TO the
printers. Mr. Campbell concluded that
fumigated editorials would not be the
thing, so be IS debating editorials
over the phone to a stenOgrapher, who
translates her work for the printers.
Some amusing incidents arise from the
enforced inconvenience for the editor.
For instance he dictated a story for the
news columns saying that Miss Helen
ServOss and Miss Martha Tucker, we'll
known school teachers who board at
the Campbell home, had been permitted
liberty about the lawn of the home
while in quarantine.
The editor also said, incidentally, that
he had sent up town for some paint,
and would paint the fence in the back
yard. By the time the story got into
print it read that Misses Servoss and
Tucker had been permitted to work 10
the back yard, and would paint the
| back fence.
Mr. Campbell is president of the In
diana Republican Editorial association.
Mrs. Campbell is well known in eduCa-
tional circles throughout the state, be-
ing recognized as one of the foremost
instructors in primary school work.
For three years she was superintendent
of primary instruction in the public
schools of that city.
Mrs. Campbell was formerly Miss
Tarney and taught in the schools at
Bourbon several years ago.

THE CIGARETTE EVIL.
United States Supreme Court Says Cities
May Regulate the Sale of
This Boy Killer.

May Regulate the sale of
This Boy Killer.
Some time ago the city of Chicago
passed an ordinance to regulate the
sale of cigarettes. The supreme court
of Illinois held the ordinance to be
valid, but the manufacturers of the
deadly cigarette took the case to the
u. S. supreme court and were beaten
there.
The decision is based upon the power
of a city to preserve the public health,
and it was upon this ground that the
city of Chicago rested its case in all
courts from the beginning of the legal
controversy with the Tobacco Dealers
association. 1t is regarded as decided
victory and places club in the hands
of the municipal governments of the
United States that will be effective if
used to break up the cigarette evil
among minors. Under the ordinance
which the supreme court has held con-
stitutional it is unlawful for any dealer
to sell cigarettes to any person under
twenty-one years of age. The penalty
for the violation of this provision is the
revocation of the license This power
rests with the mayor, who upon show
ing which to him appears sufficient, can
order the license cancelled. AS pen
atty for selling cigarettes without a
license the ordinance provides a
fine of not less than S25 and not to
exceed $500 for the first offsnse, and
a continuance of selling without a Ii
cense provides for fine of S25 day.
There is another provision in the ordi-
nance which is regarded by the health
officials of the city, as we'll as by mem
bers of the board of education, as
valuable one for the protection of
children. 1t is the provision that no
dealer shall be granted license to sell
cigarettes within a distance of 200 feet
of any school building within the city
of Chicago. A violation of this pro-
vision and the selling of cigarettes
within that limit would be punishable
the same as the selling of cigarettes
without q license.

Steiner Wont Have 1t.

The friends of Monroe Steiner have
been trying to talk him up for the repub-
lican nomination for sheriff. Mr.. Steiner
authorizes us to state that under no
circumstances will he consider such q
nomination. He has business that
requires al his time and cannot thiDk
of s.aughtering it for the sake of an
Office which does not yield salary
equal to his business. Moreover, the
uncertainty of election is double argu-
ment for his refusal of such nomins-
ton. Mr.. Steiner authorizes the Inde-
pendent to make it good and strong,
that he will not in any event drop his
business for political office, even if
the chances for election were the very
best,

MUCH ILLEGAL FISHING.

Fish Law violators Grow Very Bold in
Marshall County.
Complaint comes that the Lake of
the Woods in Marshall county, near
LspaZ, fairly swarms with fish nets,
which can now be used only by dis
obeying the law.
So bold and brazen have these law
vlolat0rs become that they resent any
hook and line fishing.
The other day Marshall Logan, of
that locality, was out on the lake fish
ing and got too near the nets of some
of these poachers to suit, and as re-
suit was fired at and driven away by
some armed viOlatOr of the law. Mar
shall county evidently needs visit
from the fish commissioner South

Five Thousand Acres to Be Cultivated
This Year.
Fully five thousand acres of sugar
beets will be planted in Indiana north
of the Wabash river this spring. The
cultivation of the sugar beet began in
this region only five years ago, has in
creased steadily ever since, but the
acreage this year takes bound because
of the inability of the beet sugar works
at Benton HarbOr, erected at a cost of
half million dollars, last year to OBJ
tain sufficient supply in the vicinity
of that place 10 run half time. In con
sequence the management has offered
extraordinary inducements TO Indiana
beet growers to plant the crop and ship
the product in.

HOW THE TRUST HURTS.

The paper trust imposes tax OH the
News and Observer of $3.50 a day. 1t had
been our intention, until the trust put up
the price of paper, to enlarge the News
and Observer during this campaign year,
but the increased cost of paper makes it
impossible for us to do so at this time.
Recently, in order to give our readers IL
larger quantity of reading matter We
concluded to print at least a portion of
ables us to print much more news. Some
OF our subscribers are greatly pleased
day that the Improvement now made the
News and Observer the handsomest and
neatest paper in the South" Some do
not like the smaller type, one esteemed
subscriber, an old bachelor writing that
the print was too small for his eyes. We
replied suggesting that he marry young
wife to read the paper for him. 1t is our
purpose to print paper to suit the taste
of our readers, and we have some other
changes in contemplation which will, we
think, greatly improve the paper and will
obviate setting so much matter in nom
parei1, though from the standpoint of the
typographical artist there could be no
type so beautiful.

The Puerto Rico tariff bill, whose authorship
appears TO be mystery was written by Henry
II. Oxnard of Grand Island, Neb., who repre-
sents the sugar trust in Washington, disguised
as a beet-sugar farmer. Mr.. OXnard is small
in stature. but mighty of purpose, and one OF
tional capitol. He owns beet -sugar factory at
Grand Island, which he built with money con-
tributed by the farmers of that place, i'll order
that they might have market for their beets,
and they have been fighting him ever since for
reasonable prices. Whenever Congress is III ses-
sion Mr.. Oxnard remains in Washington watch
ing the interests of the sugar trust, and he has
earned his wages many times over.-WllIam h.
Curtis in Chicago Record.
If Mr.. Curtis is right in his assertion,
and he usually is, then the admission
of Hon. Elihu Root that he drew the bill
is a strange piece of unselfishness. No
one who knows anything of the career
of the Hon Elihu will fall ready vic
tim to the belief that he was anxious
to be known as the father of that pro-
posed bit of legislation. Why then did he
claim it? Was the Republican party
moved by a desire to establish false
paternity for this latest offspring of the
Sugar trust? Maybe Mr.. Oxnard was good
enough to submit the bill to Secretary
Root for lamentations before ordering a
Republican Congress in the name of his
and it's, employers to pass it.
