LIGHTNING PUTS
PLANT ON BUM
Necessitates a Short Shutdown
Day and Night to Keep Big
Machine In Order.

A bolt of lightning during the storm
last Sunday night, struck the light plant
and found its outlet through the Wood
dynamo, badly damaging the machine
and setting fire to the building in sever
al different places. The night force at
the plant and Engineer Howard, who
had gone to the plant when the storm
got severe, succeeded in putting out the
several fires without much damage,
other than insulation being burned of
wires.
The dynamo, however, is badly damag-
ed and It will take possibly a month 10
get it back in running order.
During this time the big Westing-
house machine will be compelled to
carry the load of the town both night
and day, and in order to oil up and clean
up the machine, the current will be
turned off during the noon hour and
during the early morning.

COURT MATTERS

| A. W. Copeland, and those for whom
he sues VS.. The County Commissioners
is a suit in equitable relief filed in Com
mon Pleas court last Tuesday.
| Plaintiff in his petition says that the
defendants on a petition filed by n. H.
! Griffith ct al. have established a free
turnpike road extending in a northerly
direction from Neptune through sections
Ia and between sections II and r add
between l and i'll Center township, and
between sections SO and IS at the Bethel
road in Union township, under the pko-
visions of the one mile assessment law.
In their petition they allege the pike
commissioners in their list of property
owners to be taxed for the improvement
have excluded certain lands within one
mile of said pike and within less than
half the distance between said pike and
other improved roads. The plaintiff
further alleges that the construction of
the Griffith road will be of no benefit to
him or those for whom he sues. That
the defendant is now proceeding to con-
struct the Griffith road improvement and
will unless restrained by the court cause
extra taxes to be levied and collected
against the plaintiffs lands end those for
whom he sues. They therefore ask
that the defendant be required to exclude
all lands not within one half the distahce
between the Griffith road and other i'm
proved roads and to exclude lands beyond
such other improved roads aforesaid and
to include ommitted lands within half
the distance between said Griffith road
improvement and other improved roads,
and that the defendant be restrained
from levying extra taxes against plain
tiff's lands and personal property and
those for whom he sues until the cause
can be heard and i'll final hearing that
certain lands referred to be exclnded.

In this connection our attention is di-
rected to four municipal corporations in
the south part of the county, which may
not have two party tickets in the field
this fall, and unless some other provis-
ion can be made there will be no cleo
tion at all in Burkettsville, where neith-
er party can drum up twenty-five quail
fed electors.
The latest complete polls of both par
ties in st. Henry show but seven quail
fed Republican electors in that precinct;
in Chickasaw of but fourteen; in Monte
yuma of but seventeen; while Burketts-
vile has but twenty qualified Democratic
electors and twenty three Republican
electors.
Section 20, of Article II. of the Con-
stitution of the State of Ohio, says, in
part: 'All laws, of a general nature
shall have uniform operation through
out the State"
This law is undoubtedly of general
nature, but does it have uniform opera
ton when it will exclude electors from
placing their party choice of candidates
on the ballot at a regular election. and
will it not therefore be contrary to Sec
ton 2, of Article /, of the State Consti
tuition, which says, in part; All politi
cal power is inherent in the people.

protection and benefit"
