she ended by running away from hel
aristocratic home to the. mission and
said she had become Christian. In
leaving her gods behind her she left
also her jewels. -, T..
First the angry and desperate father
came to the mission and threatened te
put Sooboo's new friends in jail for kid
naping. The girl was produced and
elected to stay where she was. The
father went away uttering. the final
word, "Outcast!" which is 9" sentence
of death" .
But soon the broken-hearted mother
who never goes forth and whose visit
to the mission was contamination
came and pleaded with Sooboo to re-
turn to the home of those who had
reared her and had loved her: The gir
declared her love for her mother, but
refused to 60 back. Then came fu

mother, called "accursed" because Of
her visit to the mission, could not b(

river Ganges and held mourning serv
ice there. Then she came home ani
walled up the door of Soeboo's room.

UNIQUE SUIT FOR DAMAGES
Water Company Asked to Pay Re
cause 1t Could Not Extin-
Guish al Fire.

A lawsuit, unique in the jurispru.
dence OF the state of California, il
now on trial at Ukiah. The city of
Ukiah, says San Francisco exchange,
has sued the local waterworks com.
pany for loss of $57o.75 by reason of
a fire which could not be extinguished
because there was no water in the
hydrants. The waterworks system
OF ths place consists of a pumping
plant on the bank Of the Russian
river, by which the water is raised to
q reservoir on the side of the noun
tain, from which it is distributed by
natural pressure. Fire hydrants are
located at all the prominent corners
On the night of the fire in question
the agent of the water company had
shut off the water in order to stop
the practice of irrigating private
lawns in the night time. By reason
OF this a man had to run a halt mile
to the reservoir to turn on the water.
The delay was fatal, as the block in
which the fire originated was almost
completely destroyed. Then~the city
made demand upon the company
for the loss sustained by the city
property. The demand was refused
on the ground that the water COM
pany is not an insurer against fire.
The prosecution holds, however, that
under the terms of it's franchise the
water company is bound to maintain
at all times sufficient pressure of wa
ter for ell purposes, of course includ.
ing the extinguishment of confagra,
tions. Should the city win the cas~
ell the other losers by the same fire
will have a cause of action.

the range, and in the franchise
granted by the local authorities
were to have a certain portion OF

June 1st of last year. The failure
of the company to live up to the
conditions annulled the franchise
but it is rumored that another cor.

that the proposition will this time

With a population of some 35,OO(

4 Chapter on School Election Law.
S. w. Gilpin, Duluth, Mimi.


In your favor of June 10Th you
ask how the annual school meetings
are to be conducted under the pro-
visions of Chapter 3S5, Laws of 1903.
"The law enquired about certainly
needs explanation. BY its title and
terms it applies only to common
schools districts in counties having
population of not. less than fifty
thousand nor more than one hun
dred and fifty thousand inha abitants,
but it purports to take the place of
Chapter Is, Laws of 1899, which was
the only law providing for the elec-
tion of officers in common school
districts throughout the state. If
this chapter is plainly void and of
no effect because of its palpable vi
olation of the plain terms of the
constitution. The act attempts to
classify school districts, for the pur-
pose of Legislation, on the popula-
tion not of the districts but in the
counties in which they are situated.
"This is mere arbitrary classifi.
cation having no reference to the
subject matter of the legislation,
and makes the entire act void under
the rule laid down in Nichols vs..
Walter, 81 Mimi. III, which has been
adhered to in subsequent cases.
Chapter Is, Laws of 1899, which
this act purrorts to amend, had
been previously amended at the
same session and had become
merged into Chapter 38, of the Laws
of 1903, so that with all its other
: faults the chapter under considera
tion could also be assailed for indie
finitness and uncertainty.
"You should ignore this .act and
have the annual school meetings ot
your county under the provisions
of Chapter 38 of the Laws of 1903"
