the question of contributory negli-
gence does not arise, because there
can be no contributory negligence un-
til the negligence of the defendant is
established.
In directing the verdict Judge Bank
said that he was deeply impressed
with the responsibility which rested
upon him, that he realized the mean
ing of what he was about to do, that
he had read and considered all the
authorities cited, and many others
from his own library, and felt that
he was doing his duty in the matter,
and expressed the hope that counsel
would ask the supreme court to re-
view his findings, and remarked that
If the supreme court took different
view of the law, he would be only too
glad to present the case to a jury at
some future time.
Court adjourned at noon until Mon
day and the jury was excused until
Tuesday afternoon at which time the
trial Of jury cases will be resumed.

Power: Among many engineers
there arises discussion as to the In

of the term horsepower as applied to
the steam engine. The following quo

coined by many:
The machinery in tbs great brew

that kind, walking at the rate Of two
and one-half miles an hour, could
draw $50 pounds avoirdupois by
means of a rope passing over a pull

with vertical motion, at the rate Of
22O feet per minute. This exertion Of
mechanical power is equal to $4,000
pounds Cor 52s cubic feet) of water
raised vertically through space of
one foot per minute, and he denomi-
mated it horsepower, to serve for
measure of the power exerted by

This estimate is much beyond the

Smeaton and other early engineers
estimated that $4,000 pounds per min

DIRECTS VERDICT
Fur COMPANY
Judge Bank Orders Jury to Return
Findings in Favor Of the
Bridge Corpora

FINDS NO NEGLIGENCE
Mere Fact of Injury Occurring Does
Not Come Within Definition
the Court
Holds.

In the case of Spring, Administrator
VS.. the Keokuk and Hamilton Bridge
Company, which has been on trial all
week in the district court, Judge
Bank, just before the noon recess, on
yesterday sutained the motion for
directed verdict in favor of the de.
PENDANT, and the jury, under the In
structions of the court found YER
dict for the defendant.
In deciding the case the judge re-
, marked that he found absolutely no
negligence on the part of the defend
ant, and in this state negligence being
mixed question of fact and law, 1t
was the duty of the trial judge to
take the case from the jury IL he
/ found no negligence on the part of the
/ defendant had been proven. That the
mere fact that an injury had occurred
was no proof of negligence of the de-
! PENDANT.
/ The Judge said that the only ques-
| ton of negligence that was seriously
! contended for by the plaintiff was In
! the use of what plaintiff claimed was
a defective lantern, and after analyz-
ing the testimony, declared there was
no evidence that 1t was defective
He said that the law was we'll set
tied that while the master must fur
nish the servant with reasonably
safe machinery and appliances with
which to work, yet the master Is not
bound to furnish the best known or
! conceivable appliances; he is simply
required to furnish such as are reason
ably safe and suitable, such as pru-
dent man would furnish If his own
life was exposed to the danger which
would result from unsuitable or I'M
safe appliances, also that every en-
ploye assumes the usual and neces
!. sary risks Of his employment.
In this case, remarked the 3uds'

ruled that property owners Of Dayton
and Montgomery county must do for
the mothers: Every man who owns
one thousand dollars worth of prop
erty must contribute ten cents a year.
Every corporation that has 100000
worth of property must contribute
$1,000 year. Dayton is Governor
Cox's home county.
Governor Cox can talk lot about
the humanitarian features of the
workmans compensation law, and
everything he says is true" declares
Judge Baggett, "but the mothers
pension law is just as good in its
sphere and Montgomery county will be
the first to give it trial" The pro-
ject was bitterly fought by many
whom Judge Baggett called tight
wads and knockers" But HI said to
them:
Yes, you've got $4,000 worth OF
property or more. bringing you in a
good income and you're whining be-
cause you have to pay SIS year to a
lfunu that will enable US to keep more
than four score mothers and children
together. You old whelps, you ought
to be ashamed of yourselves That's
the way Judge Baggett talked to them
and they came through. And now
Montgomery Is the only county in
Ohio that's helping its mothers. Judge
Paggett says Dayton will continue to
/ do so indefinitely regardless of the
attorney general or whatever the 9th
er count % in the state may do. Now
he's going little further He's going
to ask the legislature this winter to
pass measure allowing every coun
! ty in the state to issue short time
bonds for money to pay mothers
pensions.

Whatever may be the estimates
of the cattle supply, based upon
statistical reports, as a practical
question there is no doubt about
the scarcity of cattle Of almost
every kind, and eSpt cially is there
a scarcity of good cattle 1t is the
day of the breeder in court, and
those who feed scarcely know which
way to turn to find suitable stock.
By suitable stock We mean well
bred young cattle that will make
the kind of beef that when finished
is now bringing close to the market
top. Farmers who have continued
to take a pride in the kind of stuff
they breed, providing the services
of a good bull of the beef type, are
strictly in it, The great trouble
with the situation is that they are
so few When will we learn the
lesson in the beef country that it is
only the best that pay? ColInanS

Select Your Seed Corn.

There probably never was a time
when good seed corn was as scarce
as it is this year, and every Mis-
souri, farmer should make a speci al
effort to select the best of this years
crop; otherwise he will be forced to
buy bottom grown seed, which in
many cases has given very poor
results on prairie lands.
The Missouri College of Agricul-
ture has found by careful observa-
ton and experiment that for best
results. seed should be selected from
the field during October. 1t
takes only one dozen good ears of
seed to plant an acre. Any farmer
can far better afford to take one
days time and select seed for his
entire crop than to pay an exorbit-
ant price for seed grown in anoth-
er section of the State. One dead
ear out of every twelve would cut
the yield of a so bushel crop over
four bushels per acre. Each fsrmer
should 90 through his corn some
time within the next three weeks
and husk out twice as much corn
as will really be needed for seed
next spring. Hang the corn up in
a dry, well ventilated place where
it will be safe from mice and rats.
In case there is no corn standing in
the field, pick out the best seed
ears while shocking out shock corn
and hang these ears up for seed.
