over for another term, although at
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon this
could not be stated as a fact.
LYNCH'S STATEMENT.
William A. Lynch began his argu-
ment at lis o'clock. In opening he
said he wanted to withdraw the pleas
of not guilty made on behalf os PGSh-
tel and Van Horn and indulge in re-
argument of the demurrer filed and
subsequently overruled some time
ago.
Before Mr. Lynch was able to con-
tinue the court interrupted to remark
that owing to the length of the ar
guments it would not be possible to
continue the cases this term. Conse-
quently he dismissed the jury for this
term. The cases will probably be TAX
en- up again at the next term, which
opens here on April 16.
WELTY'S STATEMENT.
1t was announced by Attorney John
C. Welty that no demurrers had ever
been filed in behalf of Bachtel so he
asked leave to file a general demur-
rer. The court SO ordered and Attor-
ney William A. Lynch began to ex-
plain what the defense proposed TO
do. He said the validity Of the indict-
ments would also be attacked.
In beginning he said that the term
"any banking company" means any
company formed under that act and
includes no other. This is known as
the free banking act and was passed
in 1851. He explained in detail the
making of the free banking law, and
recited much of the history of the
banking system then in vogue.
THE BANKING LAWS,
"As early as 1851" he said, there
were no effective banking laws ana
no regular banking system. Later" !"
he said, Legislation was enacted to
force the state banks into the nation,
al banking system" Continuing he
said:
"In war times there were practically
no savings banks in the state. Out
of the 40 New England banks there
were only few in existence, after
the free banking act went into ef-
feet and new constitution prevailed.
They were mutual affairs and the
money was handled by trustees. They
do not come under the purview of my
argument.
"In 1867 the first general bank law
was enacted. So we have today two
important bank acts and two kinds
of incorporated banks-savings banks
and free banks, The free banking act
has been placed in our codifed stat
utes in its original form. II is the
same as then with few exceptions.

was passed in 1867 and no bank being
chartered under the law from. 1865

to the free banking act. There are q

ones time appears about the biggest
problem the Canton lawyers and bank
ers are now facing, outside, of course,
of the vexatious questions which have
come up before Judge Hole during
the progress of the trials.
Most of the lawyers, witnesses and
the accused bankers are quartered at
the Hostetter House, which Is the
largest in the village. 1t has been
filled to overfowing and many are
now sleeping on cots, owing to the
lack of rooms and beds.
Many played the part Of wise old
owls and spoke for their beds in ad-
vance. Prosecutor Upham was one

EARLY HOURS.
When 10 o'clock arrives each night
Landlord C. d. Hasson of the Hos
letter House tucks the old night owls
away in their little beds and two
hours later all lights are ordered out.
Some of the sleepless ones do man
age to remain awake long after that
hour to try their cases over again.
This Hostetter House is getting to
be the greatest school of law that
ever happened.
Two nights ago some Of the fel-
lows found a billiard room and since
then a large part of the crowd dis
appears right after supper and re,
mains at the billiard room until near

close at that hour here. It's hard get.
ting used to these early hours, after
living in Canton, where the bars are
never closed. AS there Is big town

ATTACK MADE
On Constitutonality of the Banking
Act by Defendants
Attorneys.
(Staff Correspondent


Lisbon, o., March 28.-The attack
on the contitutionality of the banking
act was made at / o'clock when court
reconvened for the day. The attack
was made on sections 3S21-85 OF the
revised statutes under which all OF
the defendants were indicted.
The question was raised by the
withdrawal Of the plea of not guilty
of Van Horn on indictment No. 2453
and reinsteting the demurrer, which
was formerly overruled during argu-
ments tefore Judge Hole at Canton,
when the preliminary objections to
the legality of the indictments were
raised.
MAY GO TO SUPREME COURT.
II the court should hold the law TO
be unconstitutional as contended by
the defense 1t will be necessary for
Prosecutor Upham to go to the su-
preme court to get final ruling.
On the other hand should the court
have no serious doubts as to the con-
stitutionality of the act and render
a decision without delay the defend
ants will be compelled to go to trial.
The case against Van Horn on indiet-
ment No. 2454 will probably be put on
trial Thursday morning, if any more
eases are heard at this term OF court.

HOW BANKS ORGANIZED.
Since the savings bank law was
passed there has been tendency in
many places to organize banks under
this law.
"ln Swan and Critchfeld's treatise
the free banking act was treated as ON
obsolete law. In 1869 this free bank
ing act underwent some amendments.
After Judge Swan had considered 1t
obsolete, they made some amendments
in them. They are practically the
same as now. They we're aimed to
limit the power of the banks to is

JUDGE HOLE
Decides There Is a Variance Between
Evidence and Indictments.
(Staff Correspondents

Lisbon, o., March est was $50
o'clock Wednesday morning when
Judge Hole opened court. In deciding
the questions raised, he said: The
question here is whether there IS a
serious variance between the evidence
and the charge in the indictment. The
matter under consideration Is not a
cash item. Witness Barbour testified
that the book was really journal and
had also been known as a daily
ledger A daily ledger is not bad
misnomer, it is claimed, for a journal
ut is quite clear that journal No
2 was used as a book for daily ac-
counts, and that the accounts were al
so transferred to the ledger. The
state admits that the book it proposes
to introduce as evidence is known as
Journal No. 2.
MIGHT PROVE FATAL.
II think it will be agreed that var
lance at this time might prove fatal
In the case at bar, as far as is now
known, this book was usually called
"a journal One witness says 1t was
used as ledger for one purpose. Ii
the indictment merely said a book OF
the bank the court would sustain a
motion to quash because the indict-
ment was too indefinite.
"The court must presume defend
ant innocent until proven guilty. He
might say he is ready to proceed.
II do not believe the court shoula
relax the ordinary rules of uncertainty
in indictments. The ledger as l un-
derstand, is balanced every day. 1t
might be called a daily ledger
don't believe that the words daily
ledger sufficiently explain the nature
of the book in which the false entries
are alleged to have been made. II
did not sufficiently inform the defend
ant what he would have to meet on
| trial.
! PLACED IN JEOPARDY.
There Is a feeling that the de
fendant may be placed in jeopardy
Let US suppose this defendant is ac
quilted on this charge. If the cour
| is correct it would not be bar t.
future prosecution. The fact that {
L
sometimes places the defendant il
jeopardy. For this reason | think the
objections are well taken and sheulG
be sustained"
| Judge Moore then addressed the
court and asked the making of a Ger
tain entry and the dismissal of the
| jury and the direction of a verdict o.
acquittal.
UPHAM'S REQUEST.
Prosecutor Upham asked that a yer
dict of acquittal be rendered as he di'
not care to re-indict Van Horn on thi
same charge.
An order discharging the defendan
without prejudice to the prosecutio,
was entered under exceptions from
the defense, which sought verdic
of aequittal in favor Of the defend
ant.
Afterwards the court called all o
the lawyers together to arrange TO
the argument on other points whicl
Twill be brought up during the da
with respect to the other cases whicl
will be tried They were in confer
ence nearly half an hour The jur
was afterwards excused for the morr
ing and court was adjourned until
O'Clock this afternoon. At this tim
the constitutionality of the Ohio banl
ing act, passed in 1851, will be attach
ed, as has been forecasted in tn

The Pig Pen.

The pig sty is nearly always filed
with materials for absorbing manure,
but they are not cleaned as frequently
as should be the case. In winter, if
the yard contains absorbents, they be-
come soaked during rains, and are dis
agreeable locations for pigs. The pig
prefers a dry location, as it suffers Sc
verely on damp, cold days. The ma
terials in the pig sites will be Of more
service if added to the manure heap
and a plentiful supply of cut straw
thrown into the yard in it's place. The
covered shed, or sleeping quarters,
should be Uttered foot deep with cut
straw, which may be thrown into the
yard after being used, but the yard
should always be cleaned out after a
rain and dry material then added.

Lieut.. Solely has charge of the hydro

According to Lieut.. Solely the stream
flows In the Gulf Of Yucutan channel.

in the center, and flows out through
the Straits Of Florida, where the depth
is less. The center of the gulf is a
deep hole of large area, more than 1000
fathoms deep. and the water here is
very cold. The main current of the

WHEN THE BRIGHT LEAVES FALL.

/ love the time when the bright leaves fall,
When the children sit the old stone wall
Cracking and eating the sweet new nuts
And throwing the shells in the roadside ruts.
The autumn days the days for me.
They may be short, but they're full of glee;
And short days bring the evenings long
For reading and study, or mrth and song
Delightful gifts have the autumn hours
The brilliant vines, and the snowy flowers
The moOnbeams witchng, the noOntides kind
The woodland treasures that ramblers find.
Something for cleaners in every field!
And see what the vineyards and orchards yieldl
The season whose charms shall my praise employ
Is the season that brings us the harvest 10y

Cheese-MakfnE Gardening.

Cheese-making has been shown By
recent bacterial research to be sort
Of gardening-an inverted gardening,
in which the plants are grown fer the
sake of modifying the soil. The Pc
culiar qualities and fiavors Of the diff
ferent cheeses have been proved to be
due to the growth Of various species
Of bacteria ard molds in them. And it
has been found possible to produce the
flavor Of the required cheese from the
mGk Of any locality by introducing the
appropriate plants. In recent paper,
for example, G. Gorini shows that the
familiar red and green patches which
characterize Gorgonzola cheese are the
combined work of special mold, and a
species Of bacillus. These organisms
are introduced as the result Of artificial,
punctures, made in the process Of man
ufacture.
