which she brought against Williamson S.
Summers, attorney, and others to gain pos
session OF certain property and to balance
accounts otherwise with Summers.
Judge Estelle has handed down a decision
in the case by virtue of which Summers
gets Sll0. The court found that his SER
vices as attorney and for expenses ad-
vanced should be assessed at 1880. but
makes a deduction of s9iO because Summers
failed to collect rent due Mrs. West when
tenant was ready and willing to pay"
The chief point in the case is thai Mrs.
West is confirmed in the title of certain

but on the deeds of which he subsequently,
kept a close and firm clutch.

Summers began action for Mrs. West
against certain parties named Edginton to
get title to the real estate; that he case
did not come to trial, but a compromise
reached whereby title was to be in
vested in Mrs. West through the medium
of Edmund c. Strobe of Lincoln.
Next, Summer had Strobe make out a
deed In blank to forty acres of a farm in
volved. Mrs. West knew nothing of this.
The rest of the property was made out to
Mrs. West, but Summers kept the deeds
and would not turn them over, though
asked to. Meantime he failed to collect the
rent on the farm for Mrs. West for the year
1907. This rent was $3.50. Next year he
"negligently,' says the court. failed to
$3.50. BY reason of the farm going to weeds
it was damaged $50 and Summers further
had SEQ in income from Mrs. Vests prop
erty. This totals $3.50.
The court finds further that Summers
services were worth 81 ZOO in winning the
title for Mrs. West and that he expended
$50. The $3.50 is substracted from the s1,O5O
and ummers awarded the difference, or
$40.
But the deed to the forty acres. which
was left blank. was filled out Just before
this suit, says the court, the name of T. l..
Sloan being inserted by Summers. The
court orders the title to this vested in Mrs,
West and the deeds to the rest of the
property given her.

1t is hard to understand the
man who, interested in a COM
munity, sits by and refuses to
help his townsmen advance the
material interests of the town,
city or community. And because
Moscow has a few of these barni-
cles let US not imagine that ours
is the only city thus cursed. Not
at all. These fellows are found
in every community. Usually
they are designated by the term
''knocker," but that hardly COW
ers the individual to which we
refer. We have reference to
that yet more detestable class,
the fellow who settles down to
the task of making money in a
town, but who refuses to con-
tribute one penny towards the
work of building up and develop
ing the community. These fell
lows don't knock. They really
want the town to go ahead, for
the better the town the more
money they can make. But thew
do nothing to make the commu-
nifty grow. They contribute not
a cent to anything. Their bust
ness is confined to their own lit
tie, selfish, quiet way of making
a few dollars out of the prosper
ity that comes through the efforts
of their more progressive neigh
bors. A better term for this
class would be human bedbups''
for they bear the same relation
to town that the bedbug does
to a wellfed man. All the buo

The man who enters a store
and lays down a nickel and gets
five cents worth of merchandise
thinks he has spent money and
received its worth; but the man
who pays taxes does not always
believe that he has his moneys
worth. The reason is that the
results to him of his expenditure
are not so manifest. Yet were
it not for the taxes he would not
have municipal improvements,
graded streets, waterworks, light,
power, police protection and the
like. This is the reason why SC
many hesitate to spend money
on good roads-they cannot see
any returns. Yet it is easy to
prove that good roads actually
mean returns worth money. This
applies not alone to the farmer,
but to the merchant as well.
Diminished cost is economy, and
good roads diminish cost. Elk.

Editors.

A little boy in a neighboring

father to write an essay on Ed

Il don't know how newspapers
come to be in the world, and l
don't think God does, for he
haint got nothing to say about
them in the Bible. I think the
editor is one of the missing links
we read of, and stayed in the
bushes until after the flood; and
then came out and wrote the
thing up, and he has been here
ever since. | don't think he

ed me awful hard. If the editor
makes mistakes folks say he
ought to be hung; but if a doctor
makes any mistakes he buries
them and people dassent say
nothing because doctors can reac
and write Latin. When the ed
itor makes mistakes there is law
suits and swearing, and a big
fuss; but if a doctor makes one
there is a funeral, cut flowers
and a perfect silence. A doctor
can use word yard long with
out him or anybody knowing
what it means; but if the editor
uses it he has to spell it. If the
doctor goes to see another mans
wife he charges for the visit; but
IF the editor goes he gets a charge
of buckshot. When the doctor
gets drunk it's a case of being
over come by the heat and if he
dies it's from heart trouble; wher
an editor gets drunk it's a case
of too much booze and if he dies
it's the jimjams. Any college
can make a doctor, but an editor
has to be born"
