WANT INDIAN FORD DAM OUT.

A petition was filed in the office of At
torney General Sturdevant Monday,
signed by Adolph Altpeter and large
number of other citizens of Jefferson
county to annul the franchise and cause
the removal of the dam at Indian Ford,
owned now by Captain Pliny Norcross of
GAINESVILLE, the original franchise for
which was contained in statute enacted
by the legislature in 1843. The petition
ers ask that the attorney general bring a
suit in the name of the state to bring the
relief for which they pray. He has noti-
fed Captain Norcross OF the filing of the
petition and has set July Is as the day
for hearing the matter.
In 1843 the legislature granted to
Clauden and Luke Stoughton the right
to build and maintain dam in the
northern part of Rock county, across
Rock river. The site of the dam is few
miles below Lake Koshkonong, described
in the petition as meandering body of
water seven miles long and four miles
wide. The grant named several condi-
tons upon which the dam might be
built, among them that it should raise
the water of the river not more than six
feet, that it should be provided with a
lock for the convenient and safe passage
of boats and vessels, to be "a to 12O feet
in dimensions and to be operated free of
charge by the owners of the dam; that
it should contain chute or slide for the
passage of RATS and for the passage of
fish up and down the stream. None of
these conditions and Others the petit
TONERS declare, have ever been complied
with.
They also relate that the presence of
the dam causes the overflow of some
5000 or 5000 acres of land and the great
damage to such crops as are planted on
land near the river The damage to the
property of the petitioners in the year
1905 alone is alleged to be $4,000, and
since 1900 $4,000. The dam was allowed
to be built on the condition that it would
not raise the water level of Lake Kosh-
konong, but it does this and also floods
streets and cellars in the city of Fort
Atkinson, which is situated above the
lake.
The petitioners declare that the dam
is Of slight value It is used to operate
the electric lighting plant for the city of
Edgerton, but this city has already made
arrangements to get power otherwise.
The dam is also used to operate small
feed mill.

Tobacco Notes

Oscar Jensen exhibited samples to the
trade at st. Paul and Minneapolis dur
ing the week.
RI. Maltpress contemplates making
some needed improvements upon his
warehouse, No. 26.
A. Wallach of Chicago, leaf dealer, has
been looking after cid stock in the local

contrast with this means of publicity is
the policy of the American Tobacco Co.
While the big trust pays out millions of
dollars yearly in advertising and much
of it in large signs, not a single adver-
tisement of the firms goods is permitted
to be placed on any of the various ware

PROMOTER CLICK CLEARS
UP THE BELMONT MAT TER
AMICABLY SETTLES ALL DISPUTES AND
NOW HAS A CLEAR RIGHT OF WAY
Second Floor Over John Manuering's Store
Next Door to Post Office Now Being Fit
ted Up for Use of Construction Co.

After weeks of tedious work Pro-
moter u. G. Click of the Smyrna, Kent
County and Delaware Bay Traction
Company which proposes to not only
build a trolley from Clayton through
Smyrna to Woodland Beach, but to
extend the line down the State to
Dover and taking in Leipsic, has at
last cleared up the Belmont complica-
cations which have prevented progress
very materially. With the satisfactory
settlement of this part of the deal, Mr..
Click is giving his attention toward
getting matters in shape for the con-
struction of the line. The new COM
pany has not taken out a charter yet
fer the reason it is said that an effort is
being made to revive the old charter,
for which the sum of $35, 900, forfeit
money has already been put up.
This is made possible from the fact
that Mr.. Clicks company has acquired
the right title and assets of all the
previous companies which were active
in Delaware. Within a week there
will be something definite as to the or
ganization of the Smyrna & Woodland
Beach Trolley Company and the time
when the construction work will actu
ally begin. In anticipation of the lay
ing of the new trolley line, Mr.. Click
has rented the second floor above
Mannering's store and is having it fit
ted up for an Office, and headquarter
for the Construction Company. Pro
moter Click is working diligently over
the affair and is making sure of hi
ground every step of the way and tn,
farmers along the proposed lines ar
giving him earnest and hearty sup
port.

POSTMASTER AT MIDDLETOWN DEAD
John W. JOlIs Found Desdiu Bed Friday Morn
ing by His Famlly-Aunouncemen Caused
Shock to the Whole Community.

Middletown received a great shock
Friday morning when it was announced
that John W. Jolls was dead. In the
administration of his duties as Post
master, it was his uniform practice
never to leave his Office until he had
finished all of the business of the day,
posting his accounts and striking a
balance sheet, showing how he stood
with the Government. He had often
been heard to say that, at the close of
each day he proposed so leaving his
office as though he might never enter
it again, and that a total stranger
might enter and proceed with its
doings without delay or difficulty. He
rarely left it before midnight, and it
was one o'clock Friday morning, when
he had finished his work to the last
detail, and closed his office door, never
to enter it again. He went to his home
and retired at his usual time. Not
making his appearance at his usual
hour in the morning, member of his
family went to his room and found him
in his bed, where, with newspaper in
his hand, he had peacefully passed
away, apparently without pain or
struggle. John W. Jolls was born in
Warren, Rhode Island, October 23d,
1912. At the close of the civil war he
was married to Susan j. Cougle, and
came to Middletown in February 1866,
where he resided till the day of his
death. His wife died January 14th,
1908. He was elected member of the
New Castle County Levy Court il
1890, and to the Legislature in 1894
and was appointed Postmaster at Mid
dletown, June 14tb, 1898. He was (
member of the Bethesda Methods
Episcopal Church and one of its officia
board. He leaves to survive him
daughter, Mrs. T. V. Leonhart ant
four sons, Joseph G. Jolls, the presen
Clerk of the Orphans Court ant
Register in Chancery for New Castl
County; John A. Jolls, grain merchan
in Middletown, Charles Jolls, U. S
Railway Mail Service and Frank c
Jolls. The funeral service was held a
his late home in Middletown, Monda
afternoon at 1.3O o'clock, and the inter
ment was made in Forest Cemetery.

CELEBRATED DOG COMES TO SMYRNA
The LIewellln Setter "BIue Daustone" the
Famous Winner Of Field Trials Purchased
by n. r Jones and Dr.. R. II. Clifton.

A matter of considerable interest to
sportsmen was the arrival Monday of
one of the celebrated dogs of the
country to be the property of Howard
r. Jones and DIR. r. HirOns Clifton.
The dog which was purchased from K.
l.. Johnson of Peoria, Ill. is the cele-
brated LewelIin setter Blue Danstone,
its sire being Count Danstone and the
dam Fairland Dot. He was purchased
by the two Smyrna sportsmen not only
with the idea of starting him in next
years field trials but for the purpose
of improving the stock of bird dogs in
this vicinity. Blue Danstone is a
handsome blue belton dog of medium
size; weighing in field condition about
As pounds, and is built on correct
speed lines. He is very attractive
while in motion as he is also when at
rest, and no dog has license to beat
him on the bench. He has beautiful
long clean cut head and large dark
eyes with an expression denoting
courage and sweet disposition. AS
a high class field dog Blue Danstone is
all that could be desired. He is fast,
a wide and systematic ranger and
stanch and stylish on point. He has
been twice a winner in public field
trials, in the all-age stake of the Ala.
bama Field Trials, 1902, on quail, and
in the all-age stake of the Nebrasks
Field Trials, 1903, on prairie chickens
His right to be ranked with the bes
dogs of the day is proven by his re
cent win in the Nebraska Trials, where
he defeated such dogs as Champion
Affords John, Champion Jesse Rod
fields Count Gladstone, Lrod of JingC
and Victor Ohaw, all blooded stock ant
celebrated winners. This was without
a doubt the largest and highest clas
lot of dogs ever started in field tria
on prairie chickens, the all-age stak
alone having AZ high class starters
over half of them previous field tris
winners. If he would have had til
: opportunities on game that did some
of his trial mates, he would have N
doubt been placed several notche
higher in the stake. By his pedigre
he is royalty bred, a pure Llev
ellip of the highest typo. The leaC
ing field papers speak very highl
of him.

SCHOOL TEACHER SUSTAINED
FOR CORRECTING SCHOLAR
TROUBLE OVER SCHOOL AFFAIR AT HARTLy
REBUKED BY MAGISTRATE COWEN.
Principal Dart Had Right to Punish Miss Bed
well and Despite Action of Parents Magis-
trate Ends Case ExOnerating Principal

Miss Pearl Bedwell, IA years old,
was the prosecuting witness Def ore
Magistrate Cowen at early court
Tuesday, charging Professor Ralph
Dart, principal Of the Hartly schools,
with assault and battery. Miss Bed
we'll is a pupil in the first grade of the
Hartly schools. The prosecuting wit
ness, through her father, George A.
Bedwell, charged the principal with
assaulting her with his fists and adj
ministering a brutal beating. As the
Hartly schools have been lax and
happy-go-luck in discipline pefore the
engagement of Dart as principal. the
trial attracted an overfowing crowd to
the magistrates Office. The evidence
showed that Pearl Bedwell, a pupil in
the department taught by Miss Riggs,
had become involved in an alteration
with her teacher. Principal Dart was
sent for. Dart used his athletics in
the suppr esion of the unruly miss but
the magistrate decided, after hearing
all the evidence, that he had very
properly corrected her by administer
ing moderate and we'll deserved pun
ishment. Mr.. Bedwell took exception
to the ruling, but Magistrate Cowen
dismissed the principal and relieved
him of the costs of the case. The
cross examination of Miss Bedwel
showed that Dart had not struck hel
with his fists, but that he had simply
used the back of his hand in suppress
ing her. Since then one could hav'
heard pin drop in the Hartly schools
at any time.
