The supreme court today decided in
an appeal from Franklin county
against the board of education of OF
tawa that the word adjacent when
applied to a piece of land means lying
near and not necessarily touching the
city limits of a town. The school
hoard had attached under the law a
niece of property lying near the city
of ottawa and added it to the mu-
nicipality for school purposes The
land in question did not touch the city
limits proper. But the supreme court
held that it touched the outlying bor-
der of the city's school district, that it
was close enough to the city for the
children t. conveniently attend school
there and that the board had right
to attach the property to the city for
school purposes under the powers
given it by the word adjacent as used
in the law governing this case.
The supreme court today held that a
mechanics lien holds on a piece of pro-
perty even though the deft for repairs for
said property was contracted by a
| lessee instead of by the owner. This
case was appealed from Allen county
| by D. c.. Potter against P. ]. Conley
and the lower court was reversed IN
this matter. Conley is the owner OF
| th6at6r Du1lQ1nS anu ne lOdoSO II ~
J. E. Faltys and George Gillian for a
period of three years. The lessee had
| the building repaired at a cost of $16S.
| The owner of the building knew that
| the repairs were being made and the
| Iessees left the country without pay
| ing for the repairs and the contractors
| filed a mechanics lien on the building
for their pay and the lower court held
| that the lessees were responsible for
| the debt, but not the owner of the
property But the supreme court re-
versed this decision, holding that the
! property is liable for debts incurred
in repairing, and therefore improving
it.
The supreme court affirmed the judg-
ment of the Shawnee court in the case
brought in the lower court by r. E.
Hawk against his guardian for $65S alleged
to be due him for services performed for
his guardian. Hawk brought the suit
against the Z. S. Fidelity and Trust COM
pany, the bonding company for the guar
dian in question. The case was decided
against Hawk on the basis that his suit
was void under the statute of limitation.
The supreme court upheld the lower
court The case is a technical one and
was decided strictly on points of law.

FINGER BOWL FROM sAvAoERY

Civilized man did not invent the
finger bowl either In form OF in use.
1t was used In the South Sea islands
some hundreds Of years before Eu-
ropeans and Americans found out
that they were necessary to their own
refinement. A bowl of water is
handed round to every diner in a
South Sea house. This South Sea
finger bowl is half a cocoanut shell,
beautiful, useful, practically I'M
breakable, yet not of sufficient worth
to prevent its being thrown away to-
morrow and replaced by fresh one
from the nearest palm.-Harper's

FORTUNE HELD A CENTURY.

The $50 heirs of man called Jo-
ham Kip, who was born in 1919,
met recently at Kelkheim, in the
Taurus, Germany, under curious
circumstances. Their ancestor died
in Holland, leaving huge fortune
to be divided among his heirs hun
dred years after his death. The cap
ital now amounts to $40,000,000 and
the claimants elected at this meet
ing committee to take steps to Sc
cure the property. 1t is curious that
although in 1860 a hundred years
had passed since the death of Johann
Kip, nobody had taken the pains to
investigate the matter.

QUESTION OF THE BREAKFAST
Aard Working Men Need Different
Morning Meal From Those Who
Work at Desk.

The no-breakfast fad is not heard
OF so much the last year or two. AS
a matter of fact, this might prove
excellent for the woman who had but
little exertion to make and who
wished to reduce embonp point, but
the worker needs the wherewithal
TO start upon the days task. The
European breakfast of coffee and
rolls is very good, but it must be re-
membered that this is followed
abroad by an excellent dejeuner
served at eleven o'clock. This rou-
tine would be slightly inconvenient
IN the average American household,
where three meals day in them
solves are not too easily COPIED with.
A good breakfast, well cooked and
soEyed piping hot is a heartening
provision with which to face the
world, and it is indeed a careless and
foolish wife who allows her husband
TO 60 forth without it or with care
aessly or hastily prepared meal: Ply,
sicians tell us that the man who is
to do hard physical work needs a.
different morning meal from the!
man who is to work at desk all day ),
but it is generally felt that the heav-
Ter meats for breakfast may be dis
pez,sed with in the spring and sum-
MGR time, serving fruit, cereal, hot
rolls or cakes, eggs or fish and cof-
fec with some form of potatoes, il
desired, this catalogue providing a
delicate and nourishing first meal Of

FAMILY DID NOT KNOW HIM
Troubles That Beset President of
Cleveland Automobile Club When
RE Cut OFF Mustache.

Fred G. Wood, who presides over
the Cleveland Automobile club, be-
came SO annoyed the other day by
the interference of his wire-haired
mustache with his eats, that he ex-
cused himself between the CLAIMS and
the soup, went into the barber shop
and in five minutes returned, utter
ly bald faced, for the first time in
his thirty-eight years. When he
went home Mrs. Wood, who heard
his step, went to open the door but
at the sight of stranger she hastily
slammed it in his face. Fred let
himself into the house and used up
the better part of the evening to
square himself.
They were just making up when
the reconciliation process was inter
rupted by Fred, Jr., who had spent
the evening out. Fred is eleven and
observant.
"All right for you, ma" he said,
as he came into the room. "I'll tell
pa when he comes home"
So Fred had to introduce himself
all over again to his son if only to
avert scandal. But he is glad, he
says, he took the step. 81 always
was opposed to strainers," he says.

He MUST HAVE BEEN SCOTCH
Sandy MacPherson's Opinion Of
Shakespeare, Based on the Tai

Miss Leonora O'Reilly, in a suf-

''The more intelligent man is,
the more respect he has, I find, for

gent men hesitate to say that women
are their mental interiors. But stu
pid men-dear mew
Miss O'Reilly smiled.
"The conceit Of the stupid man re-
minds me of Sandy MACPHERSON.

great poets were Scotch.
But how about Shakespeare?
cried the Englishman. Can you say
he was Scotch?'

PRISON NEWSPAPER,

Madrid possesses a model prison,
which produces its own newspaper.
The editor is al international swim
dler who can speak many languages,
SO to make the paper popular he has
articles in Spanish, French, German
and English. Everything is done
in the prison. The editorial offices
are on the second story, which in
consequence is known as the gal
lery of all the talents" 1t seems
that the authorities allow the pris-
oners on the staff to go out to dis
tribute the journal and to canvass
for advertisements, which are found
on the fourth and last page. The
editor has lofty ideas. His paper
contains pathological notes, general
articles, a financial column and a
"poet's corner"

LORD ROSERERY AS SIR BOYLE

A member Of the audience in the
Kings theater, Edinburgh, puts on
record one of Lord Rosebery's infre-
quent mixed metaphors. After re-
ferring to a recent speech and the
impossibility of saying anything
new, he added ''There are one or
two crumbs which I should like to
pick up, since I spoke at Manches-
ter, which think essential for a
clear atmosphere at this moment"

HIGH WATER TO
CAUSE SHUT DOWN
Water Power Company Forced to
Cease Work on the Illinois Side
on Account Of Coming
Flood.
SHORT DELAY EXPECTED
Thirteen Foot Stage Looked for, But
Iowa cofferdam VIII Take Care
Of 1t Without Any
Difficulty.

The construction work on the Illi-
nois side will be shut down either
this evening or tomorrow evening on
account OF the high water which is
arriving from the north. according to
8 statement today from the Water
Power company.
The length of the shutdown Is in
definite and depends entirely upon
how soon the water goes down.
This incident is not at all alarming
and is fully expected. as the Illinois
cofferdams are built to take care of
very small floods only, and 1t is prob.
able that the water in the river will
become high enough several times
before the dam is completed to delay
the construction work AR q few days.
The work Is in such a state that
the company Is able to continue its
construction work up to almost the
moment of the overlooking of the cot
ferdam.
There is not the slightest danger of
the Iowa cofferdam being overlooked,
as 1t Is built to Withstand a much
higher stage Of water than the Hi
nois cofferdam.
1t is expected by the company that
stage Of about 13 feet will be seen
here the latter part of this week.

The best way to strengthen and
harden them is by using a wash lotior
made by dissolving an ounce of pow

OF the Bayless dam was flashed acr ,ss,
dispatched staff of camera men down
to the seat of the calamity. The men
were back Monday with 5000 feet;
$50 feet of the most remarkable OF
the pictures taken were used BY
Monday evening. prints were exhibit
ed in the Thanhouser studio. This ia
one OF the most remarkable fe4ts re-
corded and is an example OF the en-
terprise and the working facilities of

The pictures graphically show the
havoc that has been done and the
chaos created by the sweeping of
twenty-fiv feet Of water over an en-
tire city. washing away, with batter
! ingram force, blocks Of houses, fac
tories and trains of railway cars, and
burying beneath its current more than
one hundred lives
The pictures also show the work OF
rescue, the clearing of the debris and
erty. They show the conditions of
the streets and houses, and the be-
reaved people The heroic work of
rescue presents striking picture of
| self-sacrifice Laborers and towns
people, bent on finding the bodies OF
friends or relatives, move about the
destroyed town with ceaseless and in
idefatigable energy
Many charitable folks have come to
the rescue and their work in alleviat-
ing the suffering is a striking example
lof American generosity.
