An exclamation of the badness of much current

HOLDS
LAW INVALID
Says Per Capita Tax for Support Of
Agricultural Societies Is
Unconstitutional.
RULING Creates CONSERVATION.
From a stafr Correspondent, l.,

Columbus, Feb. 2.-Attorney Cen
eral Sheets has given an opinion
which will cause CONSERVATION among
the county agricultural societies Of the
state. Replying to a question sub
mitted by. the prosecutor of Law
renee county, he holds that the law
providing for the payment of q per
capita tax by each county to these as
sociations is unconstitutional on the
ground that the legislature has no
power to enact a law requiring a
county to pay money to a corporation.
AS many county agricultural socie-
ties are wholly dependent upon this
remittance from the county the opin-
ion comes in the nature of death
blow to them. The Lawrence county
society will bring suit to test the rul-
ing, but the attorney general says he
has no fear as to the result.

NOVEL POINT
IN DAMAGE SUIT
Attorney Claims Foreign ReIa.
tive Cannot Recover for
Relatives De ath.

Youngstown, O., Jan. 30.-A novel
point was raised here by the attorney
for the p. & L. e. in the case Of An
tonelli, administrator for the estate OF
Polfronti, vs.. the company, in suit
for $4,000 for the death of Polfronti.
The point is to the effect that rela.
tives of the decendent cannot recover
for wrongful death, under the federal
constitution, If they do not and have
not resided in this country.
Dozens of cases have been begun
here where foreigners have no reia-
tives in this country, but an admins
traitor being appointed, he goes ahead
and sues for damages. In this county
he generally gets them. The point
has never before been raised in Ohio.

Terrorized by Strange
Beast.

Springfield, o., Feb. 2.-Tuesday 500
farmers of the southern part of Clark
county will start a hunt. with David
Nody, a veteran Virginia nimrod, in
charge, for wild animal, supposed to
be an escaped lioness, which has been
feasting on the lambs, sboats and
calves Of the vicinity. The woods are
full of strange tracks.
DR.. e. B. Davis, of this city, was
pursued by the animal while he was
returning from professional call to
Pitchin. The animal jumped from the
limb of tree and frightened the horse,
which soon outdistanced the strange
creature. The community is terrorized
and the farmers carry guns wherever
they go.

RAILROAD MEMS
SAVINGS FUND
Pennsyivania Com mpany VIII
viii Inaugurate q Plan for
Their Benefit--Pays In
terest on Deposits.

Some time ago it was announced
that the Pennsylvania railroad would
soon inaugurate a plan for the benefit
of Its employees, and the employees OF
its constituent companies, in the ma
ture Of savings fund. BY this the
employees can save a portion of their
sararies by depositing such amounts
and at such times as they see fit,
with the authorized trustees OF the
fund, the railroad company standing
good for this amount. George w. Ir-
win, local agent for the Pennsylvania
lines west, has just received the nee
essary papers to start the savings
fund among the Canton employees of
the railroad.
The plan is much similar to those
in vogue in the management OF all
savings and loan societies. Only EN-
ployes of the road may become depos-
itOrs, and their deposits must be made
in even dollars each time. Each de-
positor possesses pass book. Al
present the rate of interest paid to
dcpositors is IL per cent, but this
will be increased as circumstances per-
init. s. B. Liggett, of Pittsburg, is
superintendent of the fund, which will
be designated as "The Employees Say.
ings Fund of the Pennsylvania Line;
West of Pittsburg."
The business methods employed ir
the handling of the funds received
from employees are complete and in
sure the depositor from loss.
1t is expected that a number of tbs
employees of the company in Cantor
will make deposits in this fund. Mr.
Irwin has received all of the necessary
parapharnelia for the extension o
the plan to this territory, and is now
interviewing this vicinity for employe!
who want to put their money in saf'
hands

Scripps-McRae Telegram.
Pittsburg, Feb. 2.-Charles Smith Ia
dead and William Clark Jackson is
dying as the result of a pistol duel
between negroes at Clarion last night.
Jackson was brought to the West Penn
hospital and is not expected to recov-
er. He is shot in the head and stom-
ach.
Jackson was too weak to tell much
about the trouble. He claims that
Smith drew revolver and shot him
and that he shot in self-defense. He
collapsed before he could tell the
cause of the shooting.
The fight which ended in the death
Of Smith was over a woman.

NO LAUGHING
MATTER NOW
Congressman Jays Plea for a Greater
Navy Is Now Finding
Favor.
BILL WILL RECEIVE CONSIDERATION

A trustworthy barometer of congress
sional feeling over the present venez-
uelan situation is furnished in the con-
sideration of the naval appropriation
bill now pending says the Washing
ton correspondent of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
Some time since Representative JOY
of Missouri, offered resolution for
the immediate building Of twenty-five
American battleships. At the time
II caused smile and little speculation
Should the same resolution come up
for action in either house now It would
at least receive serious consideration
With the recommendation Of the sec-
retary of the navy or an appeal from
the president attached. It would un-
doubtedly be adopted. At least there
would be no smiles.
For years congress has been ap.
pealeN to for settled naval program
Indifference and hap-hazard voting ol
more or less additional ships have beer
the reply of the lawmakers. Last weel
saw a request come from congress It.
self to the navy department to outline
a tentative naval program that coult
he adopted.
The echo of the German guns lret
at Fort San Carlos, has rumblet
through the capitol.
It is learned that the house nava
committee has practically decided t.
report a bill to that body calling fol
the construction of three battleship'
and one armored cruiser, which is wei
nigh as effective as a battleship, al
start toward the new program. A
the beginning of the session Chairman
Hale of the senate naval committe,
was opposed to the build--g of NOR
than two new battleships at the out
side. but 1t is understood since the re
cent Developments. in Venezuela tina
his opposition to this program has ma
terially decreased.
