 fore Judge Trieber, in the $2O,- 900 damage suit for alleged false imprisonment, against H. c. Har- key, B. F. Lewis. John Allen and Claude Luton, taken up be- fore Judge Trieber in the United States circuit court Wednesday. The trial occupied the entire day, the arguments not being con- cluded until about 5 o'clock.

 The defendants in the suit are officers of the bank of Casa, Per- ry county. MT. Harkey is presi- ident, MT. Lewis is cashier and Mir. Allen, in addition to being a director in the bank, is town marshal. The plaintiff, James May, who is a young man who formerly lived at Auvergne, Jackson county in this state, but now resides at Colwell, La. al- legged that he was in Casa De- cember IS, 1903, and that he took a number of bills to the Bank of Casa and exchanged them for silver.

 May then brought suit against the bank officials for $20,000 to compensate him for the humilia- tion and disgrace which he al- legged he had suffered.

LOCAL OPTION
GOVERNOR AND lEGlSLA.
TURE COMPROMISE
ANTS ARE INDIGNANT
Bill Passes Both Houses
as Amended.

Columbus, O., April 15.-After an
all day struggle, the legislature and
Governor Heu1ck this afternoon agreed
upon a compromise on the local op-
ton bill and it will become law next
week when the governor signs it.
The governor stood firm on the
proposition made yesterday that unless
changes were made he would veto the
bill. AS 1t was frequently amended,
the chief executive did not get all he
asked for but he expressed himself as
satisfied with concessions made.
The final vote in the house was IS
to SO and in the senate 81 to 7.
The anti-saloon league is indignant
because the governor interfered after
the bill had passed both houses by a
two thirds majority.

PORT ARTHUR
is NO LONGER WORTH CAP.
TURING
T0GO'S CREWS MAY REST
Russia's Pacific Squad
ron is Not Dangerous.

London, April 16.-London Times. }
The Times military correspondent
says that the importance OF the Rus
sian military disaster cannot be over
estimated. The immediate result is
that the Russian Pacific squadron has
ceased to exist as an effective sea
going force. The outcome of this Is
that japan no longer is menaced by
the possibility of the Baltic fleet In
tervening in the far east.
Admiral Togo now will be able to
dispense with half his squadron and
allow It TO return to oesasbo where the
ships can be docked and the crews
rested after the great exertions of the
last two months.
"The capture of Port Arthur" says
the correspondent. ''is no longer worth
the cost Of an assault. The japanese,
sentiment apart, care not rap for
Port Arthur, save for what it con-
tanned in its harbor. That which now
remains afloat is not O serious naval
squadron but the flotsam of the feet
and Port Arthur itself is no longer
worth military attack entailing a
great sacrifice of life. Therefore it is
conceivable that the success of April
13 may cause some fresh change in
military dispositions by the Japanese.
1T is sufficient now IL Port Ar
thur is invested on the land side and
there is no longer urgent need to land
a great train of cannon and make a
supreme effort to capture what was,
but no longer is, the seat of the Rus
sian naval power. Port Arthur can be
left to stew in It's own juice and If the
Japanese so decide, its fall can be al
lowed to depend upon the course of
hostilities elsewhere.
THE great maritime arsenal is now
nothing short of an incubus of the
Russian command, since its Invest
ment or seige by the Japanese will
exercise a steady attraction upon the
minds Of the Russian military COM
manders and induce them to carry on
war in region where they will be pc
culiarly susceptible to the blows of an
force of their enemy"

THE BATTLESHIP TEXAS

Pensacola, Fla, April 15.--The bat
tleship Texas although not the fin-
est vessel in the navy has plucked
the laurels from the Wisconsin, and
Alabama and stands out as having
the prize gun crew Of the world at tar
get work.
The Texas concluded her practice
today and came into the harbor when
it was made known that she had an
average Of about 80 per cent Of hits.
This is about per cent better than
that OF the Wisconsin, which vessel
had been heralded as possessing the
prize gun crews of the navy. This
record of the Texas is also better than
that made by the Alabama which was
thought to be the worlds record, and
is far ahead Of that Of the flagship
Kearsarge.
With her forward 12-inch piece yes
terday, the Texas made in one string
of shots, IL hits IN 10 minutes, more
than a hit per minute. With the af-
ter 12.inch piece, 10 hits were made
out of IL shots in 10 minutes.
With her six-inch pieces, the Texas
also carried off the nonors, from all
that can be learned, and her general
average is said to be higher than was
ever before made by naval vessel.

MARRIED FIFTY YEARS.
Mr.. and Mrs. [. S. Terry Celebrate
An important Event.

From Fridays Daily.
Vernon Center, Feb. 4.-Mr. and Mrs.
L. S. Terry celebrated the fiftieth ami
versary of their marriage at their home
here Tuesday. Twenty-Five friends were
present at the celebration including their
daughters, Mrs G. f. Grannis of Vernon
Center and Mrs. Frank Wickerson of
Garden City.
Mr.. and Mrs. Terry came here from
Wisconsin in 1861. They located on a
farm near the city where they have lived
ever since. During that time Mr.. Terry
has won premium for the best corn at
the worlds fair in Chicago and one at
the PAN American exposition at Buffalo.
Mr.. Terry was one of the garrison of
sturdy Minnesotians who were in New
Ulm at the time of the famous Indian
outbreak. The day before the Indians
attacked the town Terry and companion
were sent out to warn the settlers of
the danger. They got back safely after
several narrow escapes.
After this Terry was made captain in
the state militia by Governor Ramsey
in which capacity he captured the Indians
who killed Edward Root and Jesse Mack.
Only few persons who were present
at their wedding, fifty years ago, were
present at the celebration today. Now
that their children are grown up they
live, for the most part, alone on their
farm here, but despite that they are 10th
to leave the place where they have lived
for nearly half a century. Mr.. Ter
ry takes good deal of pride in his
broad acres and does most of the work
himself.

BOILER INSPECTORS GATHER
Discuss Matters In Which They Are
Particularly Interested.
From fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
About thirty of the sixty-two boiler
inspectors of the state met at the capi-
tol today for the annual meeting of the
State Boiler Inspectors association.
The governor addressed the meeting
briefly. He said he had received COM
plants during the past year, but hoped
he would receive none this year concern
ing the conduct of the inspectors.
He urged the necessity of the inspect
ors being conservative, obliging and not
too eager to make a dollar.
He said he hoped they would so con-
duet themselves that he would not be
ashamed that he had appointed them.
The meeting was executive and the Sc
certs of the boiler inspectors doings
guarded with unusual zeal.
While to the ordinary observer the
public business of boiler inspector is
hardly such as to warrant profound Sc
crecy, the association seemed to be in
excessive fear lest some of its doings per-
colate through the closed doors.
One of the members intimated that the
association might discuss politics before
it got through, and it was deemed bet
ter to have all political discussions done
on the qniet.-St Paul Dispatch.

MUST ASSESS THEMSELVES
Stockholders Of Amboy Elevator Are
Up Against 1t.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The meeting of the stockholders of the
Amboy elevator company, held at AM
boy yesterday, was attended by about
100 of the $50 stockholders. The meet
ing voted to pay the stockholders 1ia-
bility of 100 per cent and settle the
outstanding debts. After that has been
done, it will be decided whether to con-
tinue in business or to wind up its af-
fairs.
The liabilities were reported as being
a mortgage on the elevator for 5000,
which about covers its value. There are
floating debts, unsecured, to the amount
of $6,0O0 The only asset aside from
the mortgaged elevator is grain on hand
to the amount of $780, The capital
stock of the company is 81 800, and it is
estimated that if $1,000 can be secured
from the assessment on the stock it will
pay all debts.
When the assessment has been paid
and the mortgage on the elevator fore
closed, the man who had $50 share
of stock will have nothing left to rep
resent his stock or the $50 assessment
that he has paid in on it, and he will be
out $l00.
The stockholders present at the meet
ing said that they would pay their as
sessment, but if any trouble is had in
getting it paid in, a receiver will prob,
ably be appointed to collect it and pay
the debts.
The debts were incurred before the
present management took hold three
years ago. The present management ha:
succeeded in reducing the debt $4,000 tc
$4,000, but the past year has been
hard one on elevator men.
