Oh, How DULL

The police are not shedding any
saucer. sized tears on account of ev-
erybody again getting good. No,
indeed. They are rather enjoying
the calm that followed the busy time
of Saturday and Sunday last. So
quiet has everything been since last
Wednesday up to yesterday morning
that the man of the billy almost inn
AGNES that his place on the force is
a sinecure. But yet they are little
apprehensive that trouble is brewing
somewhere by somebody, so they
have to keep both eyes open. The
only thing that has happened since
Wednesday to disturb the serenity
and even tenor Of the blue coats was
Thursday, when a manufacturer and
vender of axe handles came TO town
and filled up before he had disposed
of his handiwork. Going into one
Of the hardware stores and failing
to sell, he got mad at the
proprietor and used SEINE very ugly
words. A want of appreciation of
such billingsgate caused the hard
ware man to have the fellow put UNI
der arrest. By depositing a v with
thd city judge, the countrymsn was
permitted to return home and learn
lesson Of sobriety, and that the
world is not altogether dependent
on him for its axe handles.

700 Gallons :. !.

Commonwealth Attorney Denny
P. Smith Wednesday sued the Stand
ard Oil Company for 500 damages
and the confscation, by the State of
a tank Of oil containing s, 600 barrels.
The oil was condemned at Cadiz by
Inspector John S. Lawrence as be-
ing five degrees under test required
by law and unsafe for Illuminating
purposes. The Standard Oil agents
shipped the oil to this city andSC. o.
Prowse, local inspector, found it
only one or two degrees under the
egal requirement and consented to
the local managers emptying the con-
dmneed oil into storage tanks con-
tanning 10000 gallons which tested
three degrees above the require
ments. Samples Of this mixture
were tested by Mr.. Prowse and pro-
satisfactory. 1t is alleged in
the petition that Mr.. Prowse had no
right to make a second inspection
of the condemned oil andthat mixing
the grades in the storage tanks was
contrary to law.

This is one Of the strongest pieces

The story of East Lynne when first

century ago, was the most popular
book Of the decade. When drama

storm. The children Of to-day will

the modern ones, often written to
fill an empty purse more than to

out being pardoned, be placed on
trial for crime committed while in

May term of the Lyon Court, 1905,
and'appealed. Thematter was taken
up and finally passed upon by the
