Big DITCH is
NECESSARY
Says Jury In Union County
Court That Tried OMAN
Ditch Case.
WILL DRAIN 1000 ACRES.
Case Has Been Ia Court For A
Number Of Years---.COst
Over $4,000.
WILL DRAIN 1000 ACRES.

Morgsnfield, KY, Jan. 11.-After
trial lasting three weeks, the long.
est ever known in this county, the
famous Oman ditch case, involving
the expenditure Of $117. 900, was
decided by the jury in favor Of the
petitioners who want the ditch cor
structed.
The. jury only decided, however.
that the ditch was practical and nec-
essary. but did not hold that each
individual assessment as made by
the viewers must stand. The ques-
ton of individual assessment will be
settled later.
This is the most important ditch
case ever tried in the county. and is
not only important to Union county,
but to all of Kentucky. The ditch
will drain 1000 acres of fine land.
and will empty into the Ohio river
about II miles nearer than the pres
ent ditch outlet. at the same time
giving a fall that will carry the wa
ter off more quickly.
The petitioners who oppose the
ditch, or rather the assessments
made by the viewers. made a hard
fight and an expensive one. The
case has been in the courts a num-
her of years and the accumulated
costs. exclusive of attorneys fees,
will aggregate $4,000.

WE'RE ALL JEKYLLS AND HYDES
Scientist Cites Instances of Human Be-
ing Who Had Ten Personalities.

DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde must look
, to their laurels. British scientists
have uncovered instances of human
| beings who have possessed as many as
10 differen personalities. One in par
ticular could change her mood every
hour in the day.
A remarkable example is that Of
William Sharp, who shook off his mile
mental characteristics and became a
woman in heart and mind. Sharp
when a youth ran away and Joined a
Dand of gypsies. When he returned
to society he took up literature and
decided he wanted to become a poet.
He found he could not portray his
ideals while plain William Sharp, and
in 1894 his dual personality came into
existence.
He would sit down. take upon him
self a feminine tone and write books
as Fiona Macleod"
He used to say he could write out of
his heart in a way he could not do as
William Sharp. Fiona always was
spoken of as a separate person. and
he even wrote letters to her. There
was a real difference in the literary
style and even in the handwriting.
Another case was that of Miss
Beauchamp, who had what is describ
ed as a multiple personality. It was
recorded of her that she could change
her personality hour by hour. In one
of her characters she was described as
a saint, very prim and rigidly consci-
entious, quite incapable of dishonesty.
In another character she relaxed
somewhat, and in the third personality
she was known as sally chiefly be-
cause of her mischievous, troublesome
and nasty behavior.
Miss Beauchamp, like most women,
disliked spiders intensely, but it was
astonishing to find that her third per-
sonality sally" loved them, and col
lected them in her trinket box. Often
she would scream at discovering the
very spider she had so carefully placed

A Curious Well.

That the Mexican farmer is not the
slow-thinking, lazy person the average
stranger imsgines Is illustrated by an in
geniously devised we'll constructed by
farmer living near a little town Just
across the boundary line. The natives
seldom go far away from their homes and
they have very primitive ideas and GUS
toms. This well is about so feet deep and
the owner has built a curious device for
hauling water from it. If this Mexican
had been an educated man he might have
been an inventor.
A tree flourished near the we'll which
had two branches growing out of the
trunk. These boughs separated into four
branches higher up. The Mexican cut the
branches in such a way that they formed
a perfect rest for long well sweep. He
fastened the sweep to a crossbar laid
across the two upper branches in the mid
die, using stout thongs for the purpose.
Then he fastened a weight one end
of the sweep and a long rope to the other
end. The bucket is fastened to the end
of this long rope. and all he has to do is
to lower the bucket into the well. The
weight of the stone pulls 1t up again,
trimming full-New York Sun.

Sally would write letters to people
to whom Miss Beauchamp would not
speak. In this way she found herself
would not think of meeting as Miss
Beauchamp.
1t was easy to see which character
was in possession by the way she
walked, by the clothes she wore and
by the manner in which she shook
hands.
Again there was the case of Rev.
Ansen Baughan, who awoke one day
to find himself living under the name
of Brown a long way from his home.
He had wandered there and had been
living there for two months keeping a
shop.
Even these extraordinary cases of
dual personality are eclipsed by this
case: This woman evidenced the pos
session of no fewer than ten different
personalities, one of which was, of
course, her normal self. Her abnormal
states were:
~ A childish mood in which she re-
ferred to herself as a thing" or a
good thing even signing letters in
this fashion
(2) passionate mood, in which she
became intensely irate, and even went
so far as to bite her clothes. This per-
sonality was very much better educat-
ed than that of the thing" and the
letters written by her while under its
influence were in a vastly different
handwriting. During this mood she re-
ferred to herself at "Old Nick"

would be a deaf mute for days at a

co. A state of paralysis reproduced
from a former illness.
A British psychologists investiga-
tons proved that memory of one per-
sonality continued from the last ap-
pearance of that same personality
There was thus a continuity of the
same personality, through each one
was ignorant of every other one. An
other remarkable thing is that it was
only in her good or pretty dear
mood or in that when she became the
dreadful wicked creature" that she
ever talked French.
Even more remarkable was the per-
sonality in which she was blind and
draughtswonan at the one time. She
sat on the hearth rug, was cross and
stupid, and finally her mind became a
blank. This condition developed in the
course of the next two or three days
till she became a blind imbecile.
A few mornings later she was OBJ
served to < drawing with a pencil
Because she was drawing correctly it was
thought that sight had returned, but it
was not so.
1t should be noted that while the
patient in her normal self could not
draw at all, this blind personality could
draw perfectly.
She used to draw the fashion plates
or pictures which one sees in the illus
trated papers. They were very well
done, even to small details of laces and
patterns, etc. At later stage she
began color drawing with crayons. She
was absolutely blind, as was proved by
placing books between her eyes and

either to the rapidity, or accuracy of

her performance.
1t also was proved that she was
guided by touch. If the drawing was
pulled away she would put out her
left finger and ask for it to be placed
on the part she had been drawing by
calling out the name, say the veil or
nose. Then if her finger was so placed
she would resume. Later she became
so sensitive that she could herself de-
tect by touch where the pencil marks
were, and If the paper was shifted
could begin again correctly.

mas advanced the theory that all hu-
man beings are in a sense possessed of
multiple personality. "One theory OF
