AN OLr-TIME DOCKET.
Mayor Pro Tenn Andrews Did Not Have Such
sinecure Yesterday.

Mayor PROTEIN Andrews had his first
real docket of cases yesterday morning.
1t was an array Of worthless who had been
a little too hilarious in celebrating Eas-
ter.
First were w. r. Strickland and Burley
Mangum two white men, who paid 1925
apiece for disorderly conduct But this
was not all for Strickland. When ar
rested he had on him a pair of brass
knucks So he was sent on to court I'M
der q bond of $500.
Next came Will Rogers, another white
man He had sold tainted meat in his
store and had to pay therefor 1925.
Then Joe Rose was up once more, the
same Joe who was drunk in the market.
This time he had been begging on the
streets. He was charged 1925. He is an
able bodied young man about twenty-five
years old.
Finally Asa Bum and w. H. Ancrum
responded to charge of ARRAY They
had fought at the colored Odd Fellows
Hall on Wilmington street the night be-
fore Ancrum, who is the kell-known
armed clothes presser, was discharg-
ed, and Asa was fined $7.25.

|NGRESNET REPUBLIC
Gamblers Have Finally
Accomplished Its Downfall.
One of the Tiniest Countries of the
World and Has a Remarkable
History in Which Napoleon Fig
ured-Passes to Belgium.

According to a Berlin news dispatch
gamblers have accomplished the undo
ing of the little republic" Of Mores-
net. Prussia has sold it's interests 20
Belgium for a cash consideration. This
agreement was quickly reached wren
it was learned that the little triangu-,
lar bit of neutral territory which for
years has belonged to both govern:
ments and has practically governed
itself, was to shelter a second Monte
Carlo. The German and Belgium pa
pers declare that the new gaming re
sort was already beginning to attract
distinguished persons, especially ricl'
Young men from Cologne. 1t was as
serted that gamblers from Liege had
secured the counc:lmen'S consent to
erect a gambling pavilion by promising
10 build electric railways to neighbor'
ing towns and to maintain various
parks and public institutions.
In a word, the oIncials OF Moresnet
have purchased gold brick. They
have lost all they had. Moresnet will
hereafter be ruled by Belgian laws
alone without special privilege and the
gamblers will doubtless go elsewhere.
Moresnet, or rather Moresnet Neu
trail, or the forgotten territory" has
very unique history and is itself very
curious. Its area is 1000 acres; its
population about $500, and it's one and
only city is Kelmis. 1t is located in
one of the richest and most important
mining valleys of Europe. 1t is
reached by a branch from the railway
which connects Cologne and Verviers,
and is two miles only from another i'm
portant road. so that it cannot quite
be referred to as an out-of-the-way
nook. The name Kelmis was derived
from the metal calamine, called by the
Inhabitants "kelme." This name is
mentioned in documents as early as
1414. For a long time the territory
was a part of the duchy of Limburg
Called Galmerberg in 1888, its name

very long ago. According to the latest
mail adyices from Africa the Emperor
Menelik is establishing complete tele-

Estimates of the corn crop have been
for a yield of about 100000, 900 BUSH
els, so that if it is cut down third by
carly frosts, as reported from Wash
ington, it will not be over 1900, 900, 900
bushels, which is IS per cent. of fair
crop. The Chicago market was scarce
ly affected at all by the Washington
report of such serious damage, which
was evidently regarded in Chicago as
greatly exaggerated. A loss of 7OO,-
900 bushels of corn between "two
days" by frost would sent the market
soaring.

With the fall of the French empire the
district was left undivided and became
a bone of contention between Prussia
and Holland; later between Prussia
and Belgium, as Hollands successor.
At the time of the division Of the
French empire the indefinite wording
of the articles of agreement left Mores
net to be argued about as a boundary
dispute. Unable to agree, the commits
sioners of two countries, in 1915, en-
tered into a provisional arrangement
by which the line of demarcatiou
should remain undetermined and by
which the territory in dispute should
be placed under joint administration
and not be under the military juris.
diction of either power. Until tho
present sale by Prussia this provis-
ional arrangement has never been null
lifted by a permanent division. BY
the terms of c:e arrangement the de-
scendants of the original inhabitants,
of whom there are 400 or 500, are ex.
empt from military service. This was
enjoyed by all until 1854. when Bel
GUM and Prussia summoned under
their respective flags those who owed
allegiance thereto.
The reason so small a territory has
so long been matter of controversy
is explained by the fact that it's zinc
mines are rich and neither government
would relinquish its sovereignty over
them Had it not been for this the
present form of government would
