ARGUMENTS MADE.
JUDGE SANDERS RESERVED HIS
DECISION IN CLERK TAX
CASE.

The case against Mr.. II. o. Rhodes,
for refusing to pay a license based on
the number of clerks he employs, was
argued before Judge Sanders this
morning in the police court, Judge
W. A. Berry appearing for the mer-
chants and Prosecuting Attorney Gil
bert for the city. As already stated
1t is test case to determine whether
or not the city can exact a license
such as demanded in the ordinance.
The claim Of the defense is that the
law is unconstitutional and is the only
one of the kind in the United States.
so far as they are able to learn. The
claim of the city is that it is perfectly
legal and equitable, making the mer-
chant who does a big business pay a
license commensurate with the amount
he does as shown by the number Of
clerks he employs just as man who
occupies large house has to pay large
rental, and a merchant with small
business a small license. Judge San
ders reserved his decision until next
week.
The only two other cases before thu
court today were l.. Churchill, So and
costs for a breach of the ordinance, ant

It became known today that the Pa

who few days ago bought sufficient
stock to place them in charge.
When the company was recognized
year ago Cincinnati men acquired
an interest that placed them in con
troll Of the company. This week local
capitalists contaminated a deal by
which they again come into control
of the property.
1t was stated at the local headqusr-
tiers today that there will be no change
in either the officers, management or
policy of the company and the system
will be greatly improved this summer.
Two hundred tons Of steel rails have
just been received, and will be placed

NEW CURE FOR LAME BACK.

Rutledge, Mimi, Feb. 16th.-Mr. E.
G. Getchell of this place relates a happy
experience which will be read with in
terest by all those who have a similar
trouble.
1t appears that last winter Mr.. Get
chell was seized with a lameness and
soreness in his back which grew worse
and worse till at last it became very
baG and m'de it very difficult for him
to get about al all.
After a time he heard of a new eme
dy for backache which some of his
friends and neighbors said had cured
them and he determined to try it. The
name of the remedy is Dodd's Kidney
Pills and Mr.. Getchell has proven that
1t is a sure cure. He says:
II used two boxes of Dodd's Kidney
Pills according to directionss and my
lame back was entirely cured and / am
all o. K. again. Dodd's kidney Pills
are as good as represented"
This remedy is very popular here and
has worked some remarkable cures of
Backache and Kidney Trouble.

The ORGANIZED Militia.

From the report of Adjt. Gen. Cor
bin, sent TO the Federal house of rep
resentatives yesterday, it appears that
there are 1883 organized militiamen
in the United States, and that the total
number of men in the country available
for military duty is 10,S53,396. The
regular army can be recruited to 100,-
600 when necessary. The regulars with
the organized MALTA would constitute
a disciplined land force of 218, 900 ready
for immediate duty. Behind this large
army is the reserve of nearly II, 200, 900
men, many of whom have had some
experience in the field. 1t is estimat-
ed that an army of $50, 900 regulars,
organized militiamen, and others hav-
ing military training and experience
could be placed in the field on short
notice. The militia law, enacted a few
days ago by Congress, is intended to
increase the efficiency of the organized
militia, and TO bring it into uniformity
as far as can be. with the regular army.

Thirty Years to Build a Clock.

There is at the present time on eX-
hibition in New York a wonderful as
Economical clock. the result of thirty
years work of the inventor, the late
Christian Gerhard of Baden, Germany.
The clock consists of IL, 1000 parts, and
displays twenty-siX separate and me-
chanical movements, all of which are
propelled by one weight.
In the center of the clock are ten
dials, showing the time in ten great
cities of the world-Washington, Lon
don, Paris, Berlin, etc. The clock has
four different time systems-mean time
solar or sun time, side-real or star time,
and dismal time. Mean time is the uni
versally accepted system of the world.
Twelve o'clock today falls on the same
second day as it did yesterday, but
solar or sui time is irregular, losing
and gaining during the year as much as
80 minutes, and for that reason no
timepieces are regulated by it. Star
time advances daily on mean time three
minutes ifty-siX and a half seconds
daily, and as each day is that much
longer than mean time, the year calcu-
lated by that system has always 366
days complete. The decimal time is a
new idea used at present in several
cities of France. BY this there are 100
seconds to the minute, 100 minutes to
the hour, and 20 hours to the day. A.
IN. and p. m. are thus entirely dropped,
as the dial reads from one to 20.

Living Close to the Soil.

The advanced o of the products of
land is very sharply calling attention to
The old truth hat the closer a man
lives to the soil the better he is off. The
tendency has been of late years to get
away from the soil, anywhere, any
business, as far removed from it as pos
sible. If the needs of the food which
the soil produces could have been also
gotten rid of it would not have mat
tered so much, but do what we will the
Old problem of something to eat is be-
fore us all three times a day 365 days
in the year. When a man entirely cuts
loose from the soil, he becames at once
dependent. AS an illustration of what
we mean We give the bill of fare OF a
meal, and this particular meal is only
q type of many which, on the writer's
W table, invited and precipitated a
discussion on this line. The -four Of
which the bread was composed, the
coffee and the condiments were not
produced on the farm or in the gar
den, but everything else on the table
was-meat, butter, eggs, all the veg
etables, fruits, pickles-a list of choice
food products which. had they been
bought, would represent a large slice
of a good salary each year. Then the
absolute wholesomeness and purity of
such food produced at home count for
a little-the heaping painful of straw
berries just fresh from the garden, the
fresh laid eggs, the Jersey
pitcherful. When a man has to buy
these things, only the few can afford
such literally. Then, better than all,
is the daily consciousness of being able
to do it all yourself, the feeling of in
dependence realized, and the resulting
development of all the better side of
one-nature in the doing of it. The typ
ical American home of the coming
years will be one where all this may be
done. where nan will still retain his
God ordained connection with the soil,
to his benefit both mentally, morally
and physically. :,

Call This Man Down.

A word to the presiding officers of
farmers Institutes. Enforce a time
limit on the persistent, driveling, wan
dering speaker who is simply stuck on
the sound of his own voice. These fell
lows destroy the interest and strangle
the life out of such meetings. Invite
something from the many rather than
let the time be mOnopolized by the few.
Glass meeting institutes are always
good ones. Because a man sits still in
the audience it is no sign that he does
not know and cannot tell something of
much interest and value to the audi
ence. The very best things brought out
in these meetings are the personal and
practical experiences of successful men
OF the community where such meeting
Is held.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they cannot reach

only one way to cure deafness, and that

caused by an nfiamed condition of the

When this tube Is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed Deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing

MAINE BEARS RAMPANT.

Removal Of the Bounty on Dead
sruins Results In Too Many Live
ones.
Bangor, Me-, dispatch) The
Maine legislature at it's present SEES.
sion will be called upon to decide
which is the more important, the life
of a human being or that of a bear.
The legislature tour years ago re-
pealed the law providing for the pay
ment of a bounty of IS each on bears,
because it had been represented that
the game was becoming scarce, and
that when 1t came to fun and excite
ment, any sportsman would rather kill
one bear than q dozen deer.
Since the bounty was removed
beasN have been rapidly increasing, so
that people living in remote regions
have begun to circulate petitions for
the restoration of the bounty. In sec
tlons where bears abound sheep rails
ing has been abandoned by many
farmers. The bears eat up the flocks,
and it is a matter of record that a
yoke of 2-year-old steers were re.
Gently killed and eaten by bears in
the town of Wesley. In the town of
Byron, it is said, last fall, q sheep
were thus destroyed.
Some women and children are
afraid to go into the back lots to pick
berries. Bruin is also hated by or
chardists, because he not only steals
all the sweet apples, but breaks off
limbs as large around as a mans
arm. The country people feel that
they ought not to suffer all this sim
ply in order that plenty of bears may
be raised to furnish sport for visiting
sportsmen. They are asking the legis-
lature, accordingly to restore the
bounty.
