Albert Constable Esq. Dies From Wounds.

The charge of murder, in addition to
that of highway robbery, is now to be
laid against the miscreant who shot
down Mr.. Albert Constable, the we'll
known Cecil county lawyer, last Thurs
day evening at Gray's Hill, on the out
skirts of Elkton, and then compelled
the wounded man to toss over his
watch and money, for the victim of
the uphold died Monday afternoon at
$50 o'clock at the Maryland General
Hospital. Great Indignation has been
aroused by the dastardly outrage not
only the home town of the deceased,
but all over the State, Mr.. Constable
having been held in high esteem for
his accomplishments as an attorney
and his worth as a citizen. In addi-
ton to the reward of $500 offered last
Saturday by the Commissioners of
Cecil county for the arrest of the as.
sassln, Governor Warfield was offered
a reward of 81, 900 on the part of the
State.

1t is now generally accepted that
nothing beyond preparing the plans
will be done on the new Pennsylvania
railroad station in Wilmington during
the present season. The company is
in no hurry for the new building and
will probably postpone its erection un-
til the elevated railroad is nearer COM
pleted. The station, when erected,
will be one of the finest in this section
however.

While the team of J. B. Wright of
the r. H. Hill farm near this town
was unloading fruit at the railroad
siding last Friday morning, the horses
became frightened at a passing train
and started to runaway. In turning
the corner at W. J. Hollond's store
the wagon was upset with all its con-
tents which included a fine load of
plums. The horses were caught be-
fore any damage was done. The up
setting of the wagon body and fruit
was an unfortunate spill. AS much of
the undamaged fruit as was possible
to get, was gathered into baskets, but
those that were dirty and bruised were
eagerly sought after by a crowd of
small boys who cleaned up nearly
everything in sight.

Clayton has been overrun with
tramps lately and the begging habit
and drunkenness on our streets has
been so annoying to the residents that
a petition is being circulated and free
ly signed requesting the Town Coun-
Gil to break the nuisance up. Just
what action the Council will take upon
the petition at their next meeting is
not known, but it is very probable
that they will accede to the wishes of
the citizens and if necessary increase
the police force during the present
season.

Some Clayton people marveled at
the size of cucumber on exhibition at
W. F. & J. r. Clemente store recent

the report that a cucumber was grown
by Mr.. Quincy E. Hastings that
measured 34a inches in length and Y

Lucky Thirteen.

Prof. Watkins of Fargo has a pecu-
liar superstition about the number
thirteen. He used to be in the news
paper business, but unlike most print
ers believes that the "hoodooed" num-
Der is very lucky for him. Thirteen
years ago he started the Dakota Bust
ness College. 1t has steadily grown
for thirteen years. Last year it en-.
rolled 377 (13 times 29) students and
placed 1859 (13 times 13) of it's gradu.
ates in business positions. It had
more than thirteen more calls for
graduates than it could fill. The
school is just entering on it's four
teenth year Of usefulness and it is con
fidently expected that the enrolment
will reach the five hundred mark
which will make it the third largest
school in North Dakota and the largest
business college in the entire north
west

Washington, Oct. 25.-The follow

prospects was received from North Da-
kota by the national republican COM
mittee:
Grand Forks, Oct. %, 19O4.-So far
as we are able to Judge of the cam
paign in this state from the present
outlook it will be as follows: =
We estimate that there are between
10000 and $4,000 votes in this state
this year, an increase of about 10000
in the voting strength. Sixty-five per
cent at least will be cast for Roosevelt
and Fairbanks. The state ticket and
the congressman who are elected at
large, will probably be from 5000 to
1000 votes behind the electoral ticket.
We expect to carry the legislature in
both branches by at least two-thirds
vote, thereby insuring the return of
Senator P. J. McCumber
There is a great lack of enthusiasm
among all classes in this state. caused
by the lateness of the season and the
unreasonable weather, but our people
are waking up now and from now on
we shall have a spirited campaign in
the state.

LOWER COURT SUSTAINED.

Companies were Concerned In
Suit Over Book Contract.
The supreme court has affirmed the
district court of McHenry county,
Judge Palda, in the case of E. Torgrin-
son, ct al, VS.. Norwich school district
No. 81. This case. while ostensibly
between the parties named in the
title, is in reality fight between two
school book concerns, Rand, Mentally
& Co., and the American Book Com
pany. The Rand, McNally company
sold to one of the school districts in
McHenry county a quantity of school
books for use in the schools. Suisse
quently the American Book company
entered the field and obtained a con-
tract for the use of books. provided by
them. When, the Deep River district
was created as one Of number of. dis
tricts out of the original district, a
board Of arbitrators was appointed un-
der the law to settle the debts of the
district divided and the claim of the
Rand, McNally company for school
books was allowed and the plaintiff
brought an action to prevent the levy
ing Of a. tax to pay the debt thus
created. A temporary restraining
order was granted, which was subse-
quently dissolved by the court upon a
hearing. The plaintiff appealed from
this action to the supreme court.
An interesting question is decided
| by the court in. this case, viz: that a
taxpayer cannot come in and seek to
enjoin tax levy but must wait until
his individual rights are invaded. In
this decision the court cites decisions
from various states. 4
The syllabus of the decision, affirm.
ing the action of Judge Palda in dis.
missing the temporary writ, is as fol
lows:
| ~ Where the only injury which a
tax payer will suffer through a pro-
posed levy, which is claimed to be in
part to provide funds for the' payment
Of an Illegal claim. is the imposition
of tax upon his property, a court OF
equity will not interfere at his suit tc
! restrain the levy and suspend the regu
lar course: Of tax proceedings. upon
the, ground that his injury will be
irreparable. When his property rights
are invaded by the unlawful imposition
Of the tax his remedies at law or in
equity as the case may be are ade
quate." w., III, ~
