A Letter From Europe.
Lake of Lucerne, Switzerland,
Monday, July l9, 1909.

Friend Snyder-WhiIe you were suffer-
ing with heat in America, we had a cool,
shady passage over the Atlantic-very
smooth, no occasion for any qualms OF
seasickness. Coming in ahead OF time,
we steamed through the Scheldt, seeing
the garden lands OF Holland during all
that evening, which lasted up to 10
O'Clock, as it is still daylight at that hour.
There is not spot OF Holland that is not
green with foliage, grass or garden, all
cultivated down to the edge OF the water.
The beauty, trimness and cleanliness
make an American ashamed of his coun-
try. These seemingly stolid people spend
their energies in talking with their hands
in place of their tongues. Moreover,
there is so much more care for comfort,
rest and quietude in their hotels. No
noisy jangling Of bells, shrieking OF steam
whistes-the watchman sings out, "ten
o'clock-all's IS well, and the great city is as
quiet as country solitude.
Antwerp Cathedral, with its fine pict-
ureS and windows, was our first introduc-
ton. By the way, the historic legend OF
Antwerp is peculiarly in point to America
today. A giant barbarian made his home
and stronghold there, taking toll or tariff
of every one who came to trade on the
Scheldt. When any mariner refused his
levy, he cut off his hand. But finally a
brave warrior came, fought and slew the
giant cut off his hand and threw il upon
the wharf as sign that the traders were
free of the tariff incubus. The name Ant
werp means hand thrown. Would that
some brave hero would come and cut off
the theiving hands of our giant tariff rob-
berS.
Cologne Cathedral surpassed all expec-
tation-the trip down the Rhine also. 1t
was swollen by rains-at Cologne is four
times the width of the Potomac at Shep-
herdstown. The hills, lined with vineyards
and topped with castles, are higher than
the pictures and photos had lei me to
conceive. The Lorelei is 43t feet-it
looks as high as Maryland Heights. None
of our rivers can compare with itin beau-
ty OF scenery on its banks, yet as stream
it is too wide and the Potomac is more
picturesque. And another fact (: partic-
ularly noted every church steeple from
Cologne Cathedral TO Mayence-all were
of the old peak or needle spire pattern,
and not one OF them as beautiful as the
stone tower OF our Lutheran Church. Al
so about stained glass windows shall
have much to tell you that would be too
long to write here, but the usual boast Of
the superiority of old medieval coloring
appears to me to be afad-and foolishness.
Artists now can make higher and also
more mellow tintS.

NAY CALL upon
SUPREME COURT
Bank of Bryan VS.. MiIIes Case
Is a Very CompIicat-
ed One.
WILL DEMAND RESEARCH
IT WILL De HEARD FIRST IN THE
CIRCUIT COURT COMPLAINT
IS ONE OF THE LONGEST EVER
FILED HERE.

In announcing he would sustain the
demurrers to the answers to the com
plant in the case of the Farmers and
Merchants Bank of Bryant vs. Miller
Judge Fox stated 1t is probable the
case will go to the supreme court
regardless of the circuit court decis.
ion. The court held the paragraphs
of the complaint good but the para
graphs of the answers bad. The court
said the question IL not clear one
and demands considerable research
The complaint In this case is one Of
the longest ever placed on file in the
Wayne circuit court It contained
fifty-two paragraphs originally and
since has been amended several times
Up to Attorneys.
The attorneys have not determined
whether the trial will require a jury
for settlement or not. One Of the at
torneys appears TO favor Jury trial
and the other says there are SO many
important points Of law involved that
he would prefer trial before the
Judge. The court has left the matter
with the attorneys for a decision. The
case was brought to the local court
on change Of venue proceeding from
Jay county.

WHO SHALL APPOINT TWO ARE ARRESTED
Will Mayor or Board of Public
Works Name the Dairy
inspector.
HEALTH BOARD to DICTATE

Who appoints the dairy Inspector,
the new municipal office created by
council last Monday evening?
Mayor Schillinger stated yesterday
that he was not certain whether he or
the board of works made the appoint
ment. This question will be settled
soon and an officer named, who shall
start on his duties Immediately. 1t
is more than probable that local cit
izen will be given the position and one
who is not veterinary surgeon, eth
er.
From certain viewpoints. Mayor
Schillinger thinks that he appoints the
inspector. under the ordinance. From
another standpoint, the dairy inspector
office is under the supervision OF the
board of health and it is probable that
this board will nominate man and
the board Of works appoint him.
