GOATS IN COURT.
Two Trials Take Up Time of Last Day, One of Which Hangs the
 Jurv.

The last day of the fall term of the circuit court was taken up with the trial of some goat cases.
 True to their disposition to cause trouble. heard of goats out in the Rocky settlement have stirred up quite mess. There has been a good many goats out in that settle ment belonging te different parties. Some strayed away or were lost by their owners. Then stray goats began walking fences. destroying crops. get ting renned sp byy indignant indignant farmers farmers or eaten up by wolves.
 This kind of a condition has existed until it became a question as to whether this certain meddlesome old nanny and her twins belonged to Smith or that buttin billy belonged to Jones.
 J. H. Wyatt vs. William Chamblin was one case on trial and after hear ing the statements of number of witnesses and the arguments of the lawyers and instructions of the court the jury went out and got tangled up as bad as the goats. In fact the goat spirit seemed to prevail and so the jury disagreed.
 MT. Wyatt had another suit over goats against J. B. Graves and in this case the jury gave him a verdict for S6. the value of the animal in contro- versy.

WHISKY LICENSE
 CASE REVERSED
Judge CowIing Holds That County Court Was Not Legally in Session When Acting on Contest Case
 Court Adjourned.

Under a ruling made by Judge Cowl ing late Friday afternoon. the vote on the saloon license question in Poll county stands as returned by the cleo ton commissioners-17 ma ority against license.
 The question came up on an appeal from county court. The appeal was not directed against the ruling of the county court on the case, but charged that the entire proceedings of that court were illegal and without jurisdic- tion, owing to the fact that Judge Prickett did not open the October term of county court as required by law.
 Under the law the October term shall be opened on the first Monday in October. This year this was on October 8. As a matter of fact Judge Prickett was ill at this time and the first session of his court was on Oc- tober 2, when the license question was taken up. At this time the re- count was ordered. This recount changed the result from seventeen against license to fifty-nine for license.
 The action of the circuit court in ruling that. because the court did not open the October term of court on October 3. it was without jurisdiction to pass upon the case, places the license question back to the figures shown hy the election commissioners seventeen against license.
 Attorney Stewart, who represents the saloon interests. stated that they would again take up the contest and at the first session of the county court ask for recount of the vote.
 Without reference to this question Judge Martin. the present county judge, stated this morning that there would probably be special session of the county court some time the lat ter part of this month on the first of next, as there were many matters of importance to be considered which could not be taken up until in January unless special session is held.
 It is probable that the license con- test will be brought up before Judge | Martin at this special term.
 Circuit court adjourned last night | and Judge Cowline left for his home at | Ashdown on the night train.

GOVERNMENTS TO REGULATE
 TIE USE OF AIR SHIPS
A Congress Wanted to Settle Questions Regarding AIrships In War--Inter- national Disputes May Arise
 France Heads the Demand.

Paris, Nov. IA world congress on aerial law Is being widely discussed in France where experts are raising lnnumerable questions pertaining ts future wars involving the use of air ships. France desires the leadership here as we'll as in other branches of aeronautics. A thesis written for a doctors degree by Edmond Philol, a student at the Sorbonne, is attracting considerable attention.
 Aerial war will be the war of to- morrow" with the foregoing as basis he proceeds to put the following ques- tions:
 Should the air be considered free to every one or Is it susceptible of sovereignty? If the former, 1t opens the door to spying, smuggling and the lurling of projectiles."
 He concludes that the air should be free like the ocean. the states re. serving the right to reasonable pro- lection.
 Have aerial fleets the right of 6ight anywhere or must they avoid neutrial countries? Should they be allowed to cross neutral countries or descend for Iupplles in neutral countries? To ,hese questions he answers, no, de. claring that when fleets become pow. srful enough to engage in battle each dation will have aerial rolice to arrest the breakers of international laws. The questions as to the Identification of airships and the sort of projectiles which it should be allowable to hurl ,re also considered.

SQUELCHED BY
THE MILK TRUST

The closing of the depots estab-
lished by Nathan Straus in New
York City for the sale and dis
tribution of pasteurized milk for
use of infants is great blow to
thousands of poor families in the
overcrowded tenement districts of
Manhattan and Brooklyn. When
these milk depots were established
few years ago Mr.. Straus was
acclaimed as a benefactor of the
oor,especially of the babies of the
poor. The milk was sold at a
nominal price and was given away
to those who had not the means to
pay for it. The milk trust-and
all assertions to the contrary not
withstanding. there is really such
a trust-did not approve of Mr..
Straus' charity, because it enabled
the poor to obtain god milk for
little or nothing instead of being
compelled to pay an exo1Litant
price for poor milk t. the trust.
BY peculiar coincidence a few
doctors made the discovery that
pasteuirzed milk was injurious to
infants-at least they said that
such is the case. Backed by the
trust an agitation again st pasteur-
zed milk was started which became
so strong that Mr.. Straus decided
to close his milk depots.
1t is expected that this step will
lead to tremendous increase in
the mortality Of infants in the
tenement districts, but that will
not worry the milk trust in the
least so long as 1T can squeeze a
few more dollars out of the con-
sumers.

THREE GREAT PLANTS.
ONE BIRD

When Columbus discovered
America, he not only opened new
world to the children of men; but
it was found that this new world
possessed three plants which have
since become necessities to man.
kind. The potato, Indian corn and
tobacco come to the world with
that discovery. What would the
world do without them now? The
potato is most generally used, but
we believe that corn, in its manifold
uses is the most important plant
in the world, while tobacco has
become a real necessity to the
civilized and semi-civilized people
of the whole earth. Take it from
the armies and navies of the most
progressive nations and there would
be general mutiny; take it from
the printing office and before a
week there would not be news
paper worth reading in the world.
A failure of corn crop in the
United States for single year
would be an overwhelming disaster
A failure of a corn crop in the
United States and Mexico, the same
year would cause thousands Of
people in the latter country to
starve. We all know what formerly
followed when the potato crop in
Ireland was failure.
Besides. the three plants
mentioned above, the New World
gave to the children of men the
noblest of birds, the turkey. The
image of the eagle on Roman
standards led the way for the
conquering of the world; our own
American eagle has been an in
spiration from the first; but could
not an American soldier fight bet
ter with section of tut key in his
omach and no standard, than
with nothing in his stomach and an
agile on his flag? No corn, no
potato, no tobacco, no tourkey,
no wonder the world had begun to
degenerate. -Goodwin's Weekly.

A QUEER UNIVERSITY

when we think Of Harvard or
Yale, the former dating from 1888
and the latter from 1901, we think
of them as old universities" says
writer in the American Educa-
tional Review; "but when we pass
to the other side of the world we
discover that even the oldest
American universities are in
reality cry young Institutions.
the oldest educational insti-
tuition in the world is the Uni
varsity of Ell Ashar, Cairo, founder
in the year 988 by the great
Saladin. 1t is the central seat of
learning for the whole Moham-
meian world, as we'll as fountain
of spiritual life. 1t occupies an
ancient m osque in the Arab quarter
of Caro-, surrounded by a confus-
ing maze of narrow streets where
the population is made up of
representatives of every race that
follows the prophet. a,
"The old mosque covers several
acres and consists of series of
courts surrounded by long cloisters
with low roofs supported by
forests of columns. The floors of
red tiles are covered daily by a
multitude of men and boys, squat
ting in semicircles around their
teachers, who sit with their backs
to the columns lecturing in mono
tones.
1.-The chancellor of the pnivers-
ity is always a descendant of the
prophet and is usually a MN of
ability and learning. He couples
apartments in Ell Ashar and is not
only the supreme educational but
the ecclesiastical head of the
church of Egypt.
There is no organization similar
to that in modern universiti:s S.
Any reputable man who desires to
teach can obtain the privilege by
application and is assigned a
column where he may sit and i'm
part the truth as he thinks proper.
His fame or ability will attract
more or less students and disciples,
who pay him fees according to
their MEANS"

WOMAN LAWYER NOTRING new

! Among the most Interesting
treasures of the British museum
are the clay tablets of ancient
Babylonia. These tablets. resen b.
ling unglazed tiles, throw quaint
lights and shadows on the manners
and customs Of long ago. Usually
the records are fragmentary, but
are occasionally fairly complete,
as is that Of leg2l proceeding III
stituted by a woman of Bor-
sippa," which action is of partic-
ular interest as showing that a
married woman's property law was
in. force as early as $50 B. C.
The proceedings to which the
documents" refer were taken by
a woman against her brother-in-
law to regal possession of
property left by her husband.
The evidence showed that man of
Babylon had married the woman
from Borsippa, and with the
money of her dowry he had bought
an estate. After a few years,
having no children of their own,
they adopted a son, and shortly
afterward the husband mortgaged
the estate. Later he died, leaving
the estate mortgaged. and lis
brother attempted to claim the
property.
The widow took the matter be-
fore the court at Borsippa; but it
was beyond the jurisdiction of this
court and was referred to the
high court at Babylon. Here the
case was duly heard, and the
judges rendered a decision to the
effect that, as the property had
been the husbands, the widow
could have it upon paying off the
mortgage, and that the brother
had no claim. Eventually, the
estate would be the property of
the adopted son. 1t is expressly
stated, as though matter of some
interest, that the woman pleaded
her own case in the high court of
Babylon without assistance.-The
Sunday Magazine.

THE ASSESSMENT ROLL

Assessor Weathers has footed up
the assessment roll and gives $14,-
315, 158, as the approximate
amount. The railroads assessed in

distributed as follows:
Central Pacific. ....... $6,678, 700
Western Pacific. ..... 945, 615
Nevada NOthern. .... ISL, APO
The assess has collected the
taxes on persocal property assessed
at $494,0

that the railroad companies pay
over one-half of the taxes of this
