The following rescripts have been
received by Clerk of Courts Choate:
III Bessie 4. Haskell against the
Great Northern Paper Co, Penobscot
county.
Rescript.-Emery ].
/. Jurors, as well as judges. are re-
quired by law to give effect to the
clearly and heavily preponderating
weight of the evidence, whatever
their sympathies or prejudices. A
verdict against such preponderance of
evidence cannot be sustained.
z. Where the main question of fact
was whether an excavated trench
along the side of a street was signaled
in the night time by a stated number
and arrangement of lighted lanterns,
and eleven witnesses, nine of them APP
parently disinterested testified posi-
lively to seeing the lighted lanterns of
the number and arrangement stated
and only two witnesses, both deeply in
terested. testified that they passed to-
gether along the street without seeing
the lanterns, the affirmative of the
question should be considered as es-
tablished. A verdict to the contrary is
| Enthusiastically wrong and must be set
aside.
3 When a person falling into such a
trench in the night time admits that
had he seen the lighted lanterns of
the number and arrangement stated, he
would have known they indicated an
| excavated trench along the whole line
of lights, they must be held to have
been sufficient in number and ar
rangement to effectually signal the
trench as to such person.
4. 1t being thus established in this
case that the trench was sufficiently
signaled as to the plaintiff by q
sufficient number of lighted lanterns
properly arranged, the verdict. being to
the contrary, must be set aside.
5. When a defendant vouches in
another party to assume the defence,
and upon his coming in turns over
| the defence to him, the defendant is
bound by the action of such vouched
party, and cannot be heard to deny his
| responsibility for such party.
6. In this case, the defendant hav-
| ing vOuched in the contractors whose
duty it was to have the excavation
| sufficiently signaled, and having turned
| over the defence to them, it cannot
now he heard to deny it's liability for
whatever breach of their duty in the
premises can be established.
| Motion sustained. Verdict is set
aside and new trial granted coupled
with the condition that the defendant
cannot deny its responsibility for the
actual condition Of the trench and
street at the place of the accident.

PLASTERING FALLS
IN HUGE CHUNKS
At CAPITOL
LIBRARIAN WELL5oRN FRIGHT
ENED CONSIDERABLY THURS
DAY AFTERNOON WHEN A
BIG PIECE FELL.

State Librarian Welborn was badly
frightened Thursday afternoon. He enter
tanned the thought for few minutes that
the roof of the capitol was falling in and
started for the library door on a run. A
tremendous noise above his head caused
him to become alarmed, but the noise
soon subsidized and he went on tour OF
investigation.
In the large room above the state library
he found that several ewheelbarrows full
of plastering had fallen from the ceiling.
The floor and hundreds of books were
covered with Se plaster dust, and the
top of the room looked as If a cannon bail
had struck somewhere i'm the vicinity
He reported the matter to Adjutant
General Robertson. who says the fall Of
the plastering was caused by the leaky
roof on TOP of the building. General Rob
ertson tried time and time again to get
the legislature TO appropriate some money
for the capitol building, but no attention
was paid to his demand, and the result
is the plastering is falling in huge chunks
every day.
Some repairs on the roof and the walls
are absolutely necessary, and unless they
are made soon General Robertson says
that the building will be in terrible shape
within a year. He estimates rhat it will
take $4,000 to make the repairs.

SCIENCE LOCATES
SOUL Of MAN
IN SPINE
ANN ARBoR SCIENTIST SAYS THE
DWELLING PLACE OF THE SOUL
is IN THE SPINAL
COLUMN.

DETROIT. Mich. Jan. n.-Professor
Lombard. OF Ann Arbor, instructor of
physiology I'm the University of Michigan.
believes that he has located the dwelling
place OF the soul in the spinal column.
He has arrived at this conclusion after
many months of experimenting with frogs.
Results of the last two days expert
ments seem to demonstrate that death
through the medium of the brain does not
terminate the control of the muscles.
Thursday the professor produced before
his class a live frog. from which he re-
moved the brain. 1t was then suspended
by it's under jaw. An hour later a drop
of aeetic acid was touched to it's foot.
Instantly the frog began to jerk and
witch to get away from the stings of
the acid. Twenty-four hours later. tiny
bit Of filter paper saturated with the acid
was placed against the body. The frog
kicked with both legs and dislodged the
paper. Placed upon its back, the paper
was shaken off. Every time it was placed
on any part of the body the legs sent it
flying. Professor Lombard calls this ac-
tivity reason movements" and will con-
tinue experiments for the purpose of as
pertaining how far the reasoning instinct
may go.

MACON MAN BUYS
MACON GOODS IN
NEW YORK
QUEER STATE OF AFFAIRS, SHOW
ING EXISTENCE OF SEEMING
PREJUDICE AGAINST HOME
MANUFACTURERS.

MACON, Jan. Manufacturers of gar
ments of one kind or another are com
planning that they cannot sell their goods
i'm the home market, but IN order to sell
to a Georgia merchant they must employ
brokers i'm New York city or in Boston
and let those brokers sell for them. The
Georgia merchants, they claim. are per-
fectly willing to pay the commission
charged by the broker, and also the
freight that would be required il the
goods are shipped to New York and back,
hut it never seems to occur TO them that
they could go straight to the manufac-
turer in Georgia and buy the goods with
out going to this expense. BY buying at
home, it is claimed. they could save the
freight two ways and also save the com
mission. A Macon manufacturer says he
has just filled an order for Macon mer-
chant, and that the deal was made
through broker in New York The goods
were not actually shipped. but the price
paid by the purchaser was enough to cover
freight two ways. it is said that sim
liar condition prevails in nearly every
part of Georgia.

SHEPHERD CAUGHT ,,./
IN NEW MEXICO

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Jan. 11.--John
Shepherd. the negro who committed a
criminal assault upon Mrs. Jones. near
Corona. Ala, in 1899, mas been captured
i'm Ration. New Mexico. and is now in
Jail at that place. Owing to the fact that
Mrs Jones died soon after the crime was
committed, It is not believed that it will
be possible to convict the negro and Gov
ernor Jelks hesitates TO issue requsition
papers and thereby put the state to con-
siderable expense in bringing the negro
back. The people Of Walker county are
much exercised over the affair and it is
probable that If the governor should final
~ decline to act in the matter they will
raise the necessary money and stand the
expense themselves.
After the assault on Mrs. Jones. Shep-
herd was chased into Jefferson county by
a mob and riot occurred at Brookside,
where the negro sought refuge. The ne
groes there refused to allow their houses
to be searched and a fight occurred in
which two negroes were killed and six
were injured. Shepherd escaped and was
not again heard of until located in New
Mexico.

U. S. CENSUS OFFICE
MAY BE PERMANENT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-At the open
ing of the session of house yesterday Mr..
Barney, of Wisconsin, from the commit
tee on appropriations, reported the PEN
sion bill and gave notice that he would
call it up on Monday. after the disposal
of District of Columbia business.
Upon motion of Mr. Hopkins. of Illinois,
the house then went into committee OF the
whole and took up the consideration OF
the bill 10 create a permanent census Of
fee. Mr.. Hopkins. in support OF the bill.
explained that the subject of establish
ing a permanent bureau had been agi-
tated for many years. General Francis A.
Walker. superintendent of the ninth and
tenth census, and Mr.. Porter, superinten-
dent of the eleventh census. as well as
the present director. united in strongly
recommending it on the ground that 1t
would not only decrease the cost, but
would increase the value of the results.
In reply to questions Mr.. Hopkins said
that $3.50 clerks had been employed in the
bureau. 2.7OO being still employed. II the
pending bill passed ne said, the force
would be reduced this year to 500; next
year to $50; in 1905 to $40 and thereafter
until 1910 to 200. He was besieged by
members who wanted to know the status
of the present clerks i'm the event Of the
passage of the bill. He said that If the
bill passed It was hoped the other de-
partments could absorb the present tenn
porary clerks. They could then be placed
under the protection OF the civil service
and transferred to other departments. II
the bill were promptly passed the tempo
harry clerks by executive order could be
made eligible for transfer.
Several members. among them Mr..
Mann, of Illinois. and Mr.. Corliss, of
Michigan, suggested that the bill be
amended TO provide that the clerks be
eligible for transfer.
Mr.. Grosvenor. of Ohio. asked il #
would not be wise to authorize the presi-
dent to extend the civil service law over
the surplus clerks.
Mr.. Hopkins replied that the subject
had been canvassed by the house and
senate committees and il had been
thought that such action would not be ex-
pedient.
Mr.. Burkett. of Nebraska, opposed the
bill contending that the only persons who
had agitated the subject of a permanent
census had been the superintendent of
the past censuses and others directly in
terested.
He pointed out that a salary of s., 500 was
voted TO the director Of census on the
ground of temporary character of the en-
ployment and the great responsibility.
This bill proposed to continue this sala-
~ He pointed out that the experts whose
services il was claimed IL was so necessa-
ry to retain had been detailed from the
various departments.
Mr.. Burkett thought the bill should be
recommitted.
Mr.. Crumpacker. Of Indiana favored
the passage of the bill.
Mr. Maddox. of Georgia, opposed I'm
toto the plan of a permanent census bill
bureau.
Mr.. Hemenway. of Indiana. also Oppos-
ed the bill. Mr.. Sims. of Tennessee, said
he would propose an amendment to
place the employees of the office under the
civil service law.
Mr.. Bingham. Of Pennsylvania, support
ed the bill.

tum" is the way Mr.. j. G. Casey, Of
Ayers. ILL.,, describes himself. He says:
For years ! was coffee drinker until
at last l became a terrible sufferer from
dyspepsia. constipation, headaches and
indigestion. and was a physical wreck.
THE different kinds of medicines tried
did not cure me. but finally some one told
me l must leave off coffee and take up
Postum Food Coffee. | was fortunate in
having the new coffee MADE strictly ac-
cording TO directions. so that from the
start liked it. 1t has a rich flavor. and I
made the change from coffee to Postum
without any trouble.
Gradually my condition changed. The
old troubles disappeared and l began to
get well again. My appetite became good
and I could digest food Now have been
restored TO strength and health. Can sleep
