Clearing The Cemetery.

Some good work was done last
Saturday toward redeeming the public
cemetery from the neglected and
unsightly appearance that has dis
figured this abode of the 's1lent
majority" for so long. The move
ment to this end was started by Miss
Ella Payne. On Saturday last the
workers gathered to the number of
ten or twelve. Most of them had
relatives buried there, and this fact
made it sacred ground to them.
Those who could not attend in per-
son, we're represented by a worker,
sent at their instance and expense
The result of the days work was
the clearing of the upper or western
portion of the graveyard. The brush
and grass have been cut; the paths
cleared, and much of the decayed and
fallen fences from around many OF
the plots removed Altogether the
cemetery, or that portion of it, has
taken on decidedly improved appear
ance. The lower half is sadly in
need of attention. 1t is the intention,
however, to have another force of
workers out when the weather per-
mits, and finish the program of i'm
provement, so nobly begun.
There is lot of trash outside the
fence, on the public road, which
ought to be removed by the city
authorities, Some of it has been re-
moved, but there is enough left to
make it very unsigthly.

The First Jury Case.

The first jury case before the re-
corder's court of the city of jackson,
was tried yesterday. 1t was the
case against Henry Garbarini, who
was charged with assaultlng an officer
in the discharge of his duty. A jury
was impaneled in the morning to try
this initial case, and the evidence
was taken in the supervisors room,
which was crowded for the occasion,
in the afternoon. 1t seems that the
poundmaster' deputy, James Quin-
Ian, on the 1st of March found an un-
tagged dog on Water street in front
of the Garbarini machine shop. The
animal belonged to Sam Williams,
and was accompanying Williams
team, which was unloading oil for
the Garbarini's, Williams son driv-
ing. The officer seized the dog from
under the wagon, so the evidence
went to prove, and thereafter choked
the animal, into submission for the
purpose of getting a rope around its
neck. Claiming that the dog was
being ill-treated. Garbarini called
to him from the wagon to quit chok-
ing him. He made some reply,
whereupon Gar barini jumped down
seized neck yoke from the wagon,
and turned around to find that
Quinlan had let go the animal and
ran across the street. It was said
that Garbarini advanced toward him
with the yoke in his hand, to within
eight or ten feet, but did not get
within striking distance; that the
officer fled in fear of actual violence.
The jury were out less than half an
hour and returned verdict of not
guilty. City attorney j. W. CaldW ell
appeared for the prosecution and A.
Caminetti for the defendant.

Getting Along Nicely.

Many of our readers will be pleased
to learn that Miss Mary Heath, who
was the successful contestant for the
free scholarship prize in the Stockton
Buiness College, offered by the
Ledger last simmer, and who is now
pursuing her studies in that we'll
known institution, is getting along
nicely in the several branches of
study. She is devoting her attention
to shorthand, tpyewriting, grammar,
spelling and penmanship. The first
month she scored 85 per cent in
spelling examination, and last month
81. She writes that she is determined
to keep on until she attains SO or 100
in this particular branch. Next week
she will take the grammar examina-
tion. In both shorthand and type
writing she is making excellent pro.
gress. Her letter, typewritten, is
sufficient proof of her progress in
that particular line, and also in
spelling and composition, being a
model of neatness and perfect in
spelling, grammatical construction
and punctuation.
The principal of the college says,
"Miss Heath is getting along nicely
in her work, and is a first-cIass
student in every way

FRESH BLOW AT DRUMMERS. Their Business Hurt by the Establish.
 ment of Distributing Centers.


 First it was the trusts and now il is ..the distributing centers that, are out against us.' said drummer. The combines threw a lot of commercial travellers out of their jobs and now they have devised the distributing cen. ters idea to make it still more difficult for us to earn living.
 'The time was when all biz manu- featuring concerns sent travelling men all over the country, into every granny and nook where sales might be possi. ble. Of course 1t made the travelling expenses enormous. and our commis' sions amounted to very satisfactory sum. .. ..'
 ''Sow these same manufacturers go on a hunt fer what they call centers and there they establish branch store, where their goods are sold wholesale to the cities for miles around. For instance, where I used to go to all the towns of any considera ble size in a certain state, now go tC only one-third of them, for the dis tributing centers have taken my job.
 ''In the larger cities these centers have been established and the small merchants from the towns around come in to do their buying. These manufacturers are inducing the mer chants to come to them, instead oi going to the merchants. and these seems to be satisfaction on both sides
 ''Of course it's tough on the man wh, has been commercial traveller all hi, life and probably couldn't succeed al any other job. but its just another proof that what is new bushes. Imethod today is antiquated to-mor row

SAILING ON THE LAKES.

Sailing vessels on the Great Lakes will sJon be nothing more than a mrm- Ory." said Captain D. F. Craine. who last season commanded tie big or. carrying steel boat. the Socapa. II have sailed the lakes for thirty-six years. and think fitted out the last sailing boat of any size built on the lakes. This was for Wolf & Davidson in 1884. There are a few sailing boats on the lakes yet. but their number grows less each year. The fact IS. Ihs. sailing boat can not compete with the big steamers. It was a big vessel that used to carry 1.1OO tons. and it took two or three days to unload. The So. espa carried 10.no0 tons and was un- loadn-i in four hours and forty min utes.

A number of the leading newspa-
 pers in various states of the union are
 bestirring themselves to get appropri- ate libel laws on the statute books.
 During the past year or two a few persons have made a fortune out of half dozen newspapers by. securing damages in libel suits. The Kentucky
 Press association wants the following bill passed: That in any civil action for libel charging the publication. of an erroneous statement alleged to be libelous it shall be relevant and con- petent evidence for either party to prove the fact that the plaintiff re- auested retraction or omitted to re- quest retraction. The defendant may
 also allege and give proof that the
 matter alleged to have been published and to be libelous was published with out malice and that the defendant in the next regular issue of the newspa- per or publication after receiving the demand in writing to correct and tv retract said statement. or in the next regular issue of the newspaper or pub lication after the service of summons and complaint, if no such notice has been given to the defendant before the commencement of the action, did publish a sufficient correction, retrac- ton, explanation or rectification in as conspicuous and public a manner as that in which said alleged libelous statement was published in at least two successive issues of the same pc riodical publication. Upon proof of such facts to the satisfaction of the jury the plaintiff shall not be entftlco to punitive damages and the defend ant shall be liable only to pay actual damages And upon the publication of such correction, retraction, explana- ton or rectification the defendant may plead same in mitigation of damages.
