On Tuesday the case of L. r. Duck
wall vs.. S. r. Howard was heard be-
fore Judge Newby. This case
arrives out of controversy over
ditch dug by DR.. Howard in public
alley between his and Mr.. Duckwall's g
residence. The plaintiff claimed that
the water from the defendants barn
ran through this ditch and made the
alley unfit for public use. In fact
that it was a public nuisance. he
also claimed that he had suffered
damage therefrom and asked the
court to assess the amount. Judge
Newly took the case under advise
ment.

ships filed their reports on Monday
but several are still out. The reports
filed showed decrease of from $40, 900
to s2O, 900 in valuation of property in
all townships but Jackson and Dodson.
This arises from the drought of last
fall many farmers being compelled to
sell their stock and having much less
grain than usual.

Predicts Light Fruit Crop.

The fruit crop in Ohio will be ex-
ceptionally light this year, according
to N. E. Shaw, State Orchard and
Nursery Inspector. 1t is due to the
long-continued drought last fall. 1t
is probable that the apple crop will
not be more than 50 per cent. of an
average and the peaches about 7t
per cent. The smaller fruits will be
proportionately light. In the Ohio
River countries the apples are more
plentiful, while the reverse is true on
peaches, which do better in the north
ern sections. The Inspector says that
there is hardly any more danger from
frosts and that 1t is safe to do any
kind of planting now.

The shifting Of the Prussian people
from agriculture to manufactures and
commerce is a notable sign of the
times, to the New York Tribune. For
the last score of years German, and
especially Prussian, legislation and
administration have been largely di-
rected toward the encouragement of
agriculture, to the impairment if not
the sacrifice Of other interests. Yet in
IL years 16 percent Of the population
have abandoned agriculture for other
industries, so that instead OF agricul-
turists numbering one-haH Of all they
are now only about one third. That
is condition and process which
will not please the Junker heart,
though it is not clear that anything
can be done about 1t. If the encourage
ment which has been given to farm
ing in the last 20 years has not ICen
sufficient and effective. it is difficult
to conceive of any that would be.

A proposal to tax bachelors is now
before certain states, and although the
suggestion is usually classed among
the freak legislation so common today,
it is worthy Of the serious considera-
ton that precedes adoption. There
is nothing new in the idea. There
was a time, recalls the Argonaut,
when unmarried men were excluded
from the upper legislative chamber
in France, and although the exclusion
was not exactly a tax it was punitive
mark Of incompetence and Of public
disapproval Bachelors were taxed
ii England in the reign of William
III, and although the impost was
raised soon afterwards it was adopted
again by Pitt in 1855. when it was
enacted that the servants of bachelors
must pay special tax. Pitt ''got az
ter. the bachelor in another way. in
asmuch as his graduated income tax
Was especially lenient upon married
men. And quite right. too.
