SERVED FREE OF CHARGE
SECRETARY OF CEMETERY FAILS
TO RECOVER REMUNERATION. -

Judge Hine spent all day yesterday
hearing evidence in a novel suit to re-
cover a salary alleged to be due for serv-
ices as secretary of a cemetery asso-
citation. The case was that of Charles
AIdas against Congregation Sons of Zion
and Congregation of Russian Brother
hood, co-partners as the Chavra Ka-
dosor The plaintiff sued to recover $3.50
for services as secretary of the associa-
ton for the past three years. The two
congregations named as defendants IN
the suit own the cemetery in common
and it was managed by two presidents,
one from each congregation, and the two
presidents elected a secretary and treas
urer.
The defendants set up in their answer
that the services performed were slight
and simple and only clerical and of no
greater value than the honor and distinc-
ton of holding the office. TEey also
claimed that all the work performed
was not worth more than s15
After listening to the case all day,
Judge Hine dismissed the action on mo-
ton of the plaintiff at the conclusion OF
his case.

Range Animals Have Been Fetching

The unexpected prolongation of the
Boer war is responsible for the mainten-
ance Of the high price of American horses
The English army has been buying horses
for the past two years and even now
has agents in this country picking up de-
sirable animals The prices range from
SIPS to .$175,. which is considered extreme
ly high, especially when the steamship
rates, $35 a head from New York to
Liverpool, and the almost Drohibitive rate
Of insurance is added.
There is at present a great shortage OF
standard bred American horses suitable
for army purposes and the English army
is doing what the government of this
country was forced to do at the out
break Of the Spanish war. purchasing
range horses. The price of these animals
formerly ranged from $25 to S100. the lat
ter price being considered at that time
altogether too high for the class Of
horses.
The United States armv is well sup
piled and the government has made no
extensive purchases in this line since last
fall. Ever since the outbreak of the
Spanish war the United States has found
it almost impossible to get standard bred
American horses at anywhere near a rea-
sonable figure. OF course even now there
are thousands of good horses in the
country but the prices range from $500 to
$500 and this is little more than Uncle
Sam cares to pay for mount for his
troopers.
William Minser chief clerk of the local
quartermaster' department at theDepart-
ment of Dakota Headquarters is probably
as we'll informed upon army horses as
any one connected with the purchasing
department of the service.
He says: "When the Spanish war
broke out there was considerable I'M
mounted cavalry in the country and the
government Immediately began to look
around for horses. AS you know. during
the hard times Just preceding the war the

A Good Rule.

The excellent Meridian Press arises
to say: 1.-The newspapers of the
country are at last enforcing a rule
requiring candidates for Office to pay
for their advertising. And why not?
To give netices free to the men seek
ing the honors and emoluments of
office is to give away space for which
the newspapers would charge mer-
chants and other business men. Is
it not high time that all politicians
were required to pay for their adver
tisements? The weekly press of Mis-
sissippi have lost most of the cid
custom and we are glad to leara that
the weekly newspapers as rule are
taking hold ofthe new plan. Their
space Is worth a good deal to the
aspirants for office and it is nothing
but right that it should bring its
market value. The results will be
increased incomes forthe newspapers
and greater respect for them on the
part of the politicians

OCEANIC CSIS COMPANY
ANNUAL MEETING Is HELD IN
SAN FRANCISCO.
Proposal to Issue a Stock Dividend to
Make Possible a Bond Issue-Busi-
ness Reported Good

SAN FRANCISCO, January 23.-The
hope was held out at the meeting of
the shareholders of the Oceanic Steam
ship Company yesterday that there
would be no need for an assessment on
the stock and the assurance was given
that if such measures became neces-
sary the money thus paid out would
be reimbursed to the owners of the
stock in the form of dividends, the idea
being to so increase the amount of the
capital stock that an issue of bonds
could be made by which to pay the in
debtedness. The company's financial
statement showed a net overdraft Of
$5l6, ,2Ol.SO, "A debt balance Qoss and
gain) of 81 150 283.65, assets of SO $751;
276,35, and liabilities of $3.O51 80 ieav-
ing the net assets $9O5, 96S35.
When President John ID. Spreckels
was asked how the amount of the over
draft was to be met and the sugges-
tiOn was Glade that an assessment
might be necessary, he replied that the
matter had not yet been considered by
the boar dof directors. His personal
opinion was that from the fact that
the Oceanic Steamship Company had
made $4,000 in profits last month, and
this amount was more probable to be
increased than diminished. Should one,
however, become necessary, dividend
would at the same time be declared to
cover 1t, and with the amount of the
paid-up capital stock thus increased
an issue of bonds could be authorized
to cover the Indebtedness.
The report Of the president set forth
that the strikes in this city and in Sgd
ney, with the embargo placed on the
direct unloading of cargOes at Sydney
from this port and Honolulu, had been
causes of great expense to the COM
pany, both on land and on sea, and in
the report of it's vessels as we'll as in
obtaining crews, These untoward con-
dtttons, however, having ceased, the
showing for the present year would
probably be a gain of over 100000 on
the expense of its vessels as well as in
President Spreckels were received with
applause, and the entire board Of di-
rectOrs was unanimously reelected.

Captain Grifiths of the bark Albert is
probably still celebrating in San Fran

side over numerous feasts and festive
boards for he won his race with the
barkentine S. G. Wilder from this place
to San Francisco.
There was considerable rivalry be-
tween the two masters. Captain Jack
son of the Wilder had formerly been
first officer under Captain Griffirhs, and
since taking the Wilder Jackson
thought he could beat his old boat. On

Just how many bets Captain Grifiths
collected from Captain Jackson is not
known. Enough to make the contest
worth their effort, was wagered how
ever and it is more than likely that
Captain Jackson will demand a return
match on the way back If they can gel
away together. The bark Archer, and

same afternoon with the other boats
