A Pathetic Affair.".

A pitiful story comes from the Phil

ful soldier. The particulars leaked out
through letter written by fellow
soldier who was ordered to assist in the
punishment which resulted in a
tragedy.
The soldier, who was twenty-five
years Of age, obtained spirituous liquors
and became intoxicated. While in
this condition he began TO abuse his
lieutenant. The latter. mighty man OF
yalor that he was, not charitable
enough TO consider the poor youth 8
frenzled condition, ordered him bound
and gagged and thrown on the ground,
and insisted that ice water be thrown
into his face every few moments.
For awhile the young man struggled,
and then suddenly became quiet. A
comrade examined him presently, only
to find him dead.

CITY of Medford Lose.

Judge Bellinger has declared that
the city OF Medford had, no power to
tax the franchise OF the Sunset Tele-
phone & Telegraph Company. The
suit was brought by the latter to on
join the city OF Medford from remov.
ing the poles and wires OF the com.
plainant from the streets OF that city,
under an ordinance imposing a license
upon the company OF 800 per year,
and requiring an agreement not TO
charge customers In Mediord more
than Sl,5O per month for its services.
The question involved was the pow
er OF the city under its charter. The
court said that when the oity gave the
company franchise, it might have
charged for the franchise, but II did
not. The court held that in the char.
ter of the city the power OF license as a
means OF regulating all business, i'm.
plies a power to charge a fee therefor
sufficient TO defray the expenses Of
issuing the license and TO compensate
the city for any expense incurred In
maintaining such regulation. When
ever 1t is manifest that the fee for the
license is substantially In excess Of
what IT should be, It will be considered
tax and the order imposing 1t void.
The provision Of the ordinance in re
gard to charging no more than $50
per month for telephone service was
not insisted upon by defendant. It's
invalidity was conceded, and II was
therefore not necessary to consider II.
The demurrer to the bill OF complaint
was overruled.
