DODGING THE LAW.

A witty Frenchman divided the
German editors into two classes,
those who are in jail, and those who
are not That was in the days when
lese majestic, as construed by William
H., was reaching out for its victims.
At that time nearly every well regu-
lated newspaper in Germany had a
Jail editor whose sole duty was, to say
that he was the author of the articles
to which the kaiser objected and to
take the prison sentence which the
kaiser's courts imposed.
In prohibition Georgia this plan is
adopted by some of the liquor sellers.
Proprietors of drinking houses, in
those cases, have their places regis
tered under the names of negroes
whom they can trust, and these ne
groes serve the Jail sentences which
are inflicted. AS the pay is said to be
good for these substitutes and the
work is light, there is no difficulty in
getting men for this service. In the
meantime the real owners of the whis-
key houses continue their traffic and
make large profits.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Disposition of Various Matters by
.... Judge and Jury.

Fifty thousand doiiars damages are
sought to be recovered from the Con-
solidation Coal Co., operating mines
at Buxton, for personal injuries alleg-
ed to have been sustained by George
w. Bridges and Robt. Wade in a dust
explosion last February in Mine No.
IA. Two suits are brought, each plain
tiff asking for $4,000. George H..
Woodson and Jas. A. spears are at
torneys for the plaintiffs. The
grounds for action in the two cases
are practically the same. Each plain
tiff claims to have mad his face, head
and hands burned by the fire during
the dust explosion referred to, in ad-
dition to having their lungs burned
and destroyed. They allege negligence
on the part of the company In not
keeping the dust in the entryway damp
and claim that after the accident they
were neglected and not given proper
care. They claim that no employees
were present competent to raise the
cage and bring them to the surface
of the ground SO that the might re-
ceive medical attention and that the
only attention given them by ofncials
of the company was the spreading OF
the alleged false report that they had
been burned by gasoline, due to their
own neg igence.
Many other new suits have been
filed during the last couple of days
as follows:

AN ACCIDENT AVERTED
Dangerous Place In Street Discov.
cred In Good Season.

Robert McCabe, an employe OF the
Roenspiess Cigar factory, has I'M
doubtedly saved the city a heavy dam
age suit, and possibly averted loss OF
Lie.
bob" was riding wheel along
High avenue early Friday morning OF
last week. In passing along the street
at the south side of the car track he
ran over piece of pavement that
ratified and gave forth a queer hollow
sound that Immediately caught his
attention. He dismounted and re-
turned to the spot to see what could
have been the reason for the unusual
condition. He stepped upon arbrick
and was startled to see 1t drop out
OF sight A slight pressure on the
pavement with the foot sent a number
OF other PAYERS" after the first one,
down into great dark hole. z Debris
dropped into the place gave back no
sound, as il the place had no bottom.
Bob" reported Immediately to city
headquarters and further investiga-
ton was made by city officials. The
place, disclosing great cavity wash
ed out under the street car track and
70 the south. The hole was ten to
twelve feet deep and large enough to
admit the body of horse. When
the brick were removed a thin shell
of earth about six feet in diameter
fell away. How long the arch of the
pavement would nave sustained the
jar OF street traffic cannot be guessed,
but sooner or later some one was
bound to go though into the hole be-
Meath.
The cave had been caused by the
washing away OF the dirt beneath the
pavement into an open sewer pipe. A
end, evidently intended to accommo-
date a lateral sewer at some time. "A
stream of water from the uncemented
joints of tile leading from a catch
basin at the H. l.. White corner had
finally washed an opening to the
mouth of the open ct" and the dirt
had been carried into the sewer in
great quantities. The first layer of
brick had fallen away. How long the
cave had been in process of formation
no one can estimate, but probably
months, and possibly years. The sew
er committee was not long in reach
ing the conclusion that the place
must be repaired and the work will
be done in the right way. A man
hole is being constructed at the
place and the lead from the catch
basin will be laid in the right way,
with cemented joints that will prevent
any repetition of the trouble. Man
holes are also to be built at three
other crossings of the avenue and
should any other crossings be in
dangerous conditions the work will be
discovered and remedied.
Workmen were employed all day
Sunday in an effort to open the
street to traffic. The Beacon inter-
urban car became marooned on the
west side of the ditch and this fur
nished the only street car service en-
joyed by West OSkaloosa during the
day. ~. age" .l.s

THE METHODIST CHURCH,

The Iowa conference of the Metho,
dist church is in az way misnoner.
1t does not include the whole state,
as the name. would imply, there being
three other conferences in Iowa. But
the Iowa conference, which has just
been in session at Winfield, and which
includes Oskaloosa, is no small affair.
1t has membership of over 1906
and its church property is worth over
one and one-half millions of dollars.
During the past year s5,fy6 were rails
ed for conference claimants, and the
total benevolencies paid in cash am
ounted to s63,49S. The statistical re-
port made to the conference also con-
tains many other figures of general in
