Breach of Promise Suit.

Tho breach Of promise OF marriage case
Of Miss Zella Hill against George w.
Permission, only son OF j. +. Permission,
has occupied the court nearly all OF to-
day.
Tho plaintiff charges that without any
tentions after the engagement, and that
she has at all times been ready to fulfill
her part Of the contract, he had default
ed in doing as he had promised.
The plaintiff made out quite strong
case against the young man. For the
plaintiff, the father and mother and
Thomas Virden testified.
The principal witness for the defense
was the defendent, Pennisteu. He did
net deny in his testimony that he was on
gagged to the young lady. he charged
her with having called him "a dirty dog, :"
also her father. Hs afterward said he
thought she had said this in jest. he
said that the principal reason why he
had not married the young lady was that
he hao lost what affection he had for
her and that he did not think he loved
her sufficiently to enter into the marriage
state. 1t developed in cross-examina-
tiou that the moth r of Permission was
opposed to the marriage. but whom Miss
Hill was called in rebuttal testimony she
stated that he had told her on the night
that they had become engaged that his
mother was more than willing for the
marriage to occur.
The court room has been crowded the
greater part OF the day to hear the testi-
mony In this case, mainly by people who
are we'll acquainted with the principals.
Both the plaintiff and defendant are
prominent young people at Whitewater
and there was engendered large degree
of interest in the suit, especially because
of the prominence of the parties engaged
and also from the amount of damages
asked by the young lady, for her lacerat-
ed affections.
Samuel N. Wheeler represents the
plaintiff. and Lorin A. Staley, the de-
fendant.

What is a Franchise.

All this talk about taxing franchise.
brings up the question Of what is I
franchise and what franchise taxation
consists Of.
Many persons regard the charter of
a corporation as the same thing as a
franchise, which is a plain mistake.
For example, a corporation chartered
to carry on a wholesale grocer business
does not enjoy what is usually meant
by the term franchise" To tax the
good will Of the business of such a
corporation would be the same thing
as assessing the good will OF a law firm
or a merchant.
The accepted meaning Of the word
franchise, : nowadays, is a grant by a
state, county or municipality Of the
right to use the streets or highways
to carry on a business in which Others
can't engage unless they obtain SINH
lar rights. Anybody can carry on the
trade Of wholesale grocer at any
time, but to lay mains for gas conduits,
for electric lights, telephone or tele-
graph wires, or to lay railway and
street railway tracks, requires special
permissions which, while not a
monopoly is an exclusive right until
similar permission is granted to 9th
ers.
The ground for taxing such franchi-
ses is that Of remuneration 10 the
for the use Of streets and
highways and protection from com
petition by any person who may elect
TO embark in the same business

KANSAS CRY, Mo, Jan. 9.-Thieves
in this city do not stop at anything.
Even houses are not considered too
big to steal.
In fact, stealing houses has been
vigorously carried on during the past
two weeks.
When the Pen Valley Park case was
decided and the city began paying for
the land condemned for park purposes
the city came into possession OF nearly
100 houses.
AS fast as the former owners re-
ceived payment for their land all their
right and title to the buildings ceased,
and the houses became the absolute
property Of the city.
Recently George Kessler park board
engineer, was surprised 10 find that a
number of the houses had disappeared.
He found the foundations all right and
the ground on which the houses had
been built, but the buildings were
gone.
AS no one had been authorized to
sell them he made an investigation,
and found that enterprising thieves
had stolen the buildings. Now an
officer Is watching the rest of the
houses.
