In the case of The Alaska Northern Railway Com pany vs John F. Ballaine Frank Balaine and others, Judge Brown this morning handed down decision in favor of the defendants, and declared
 q have carefully considered the question as to the burden of proof and feel satisfied that even though the burden of proof were shifted to the defendants to explain their actions that they have fully and satisfactorily done so by clear preponderance of the testimony
 The Court draws attention to the fact that the Rail way Co., did not bring suit for ten years until the choice of Seward as the terminal of the government railroad caused the townse to acquire speculative value Doubt

Mckenzie.

Arvezena Wells Mckenzie was born
July IL, 1886, and died February s,
1915. She received fair education
and in the year 1856 was united in
marriage to Henry Mckenzie. To
this union were born ten children, -four
boys and six girls, two of whom pre-
ceded her to the home prepared for
the faithful. The year following the
close Of the OWL Wars they came over
land from one OF the eastern states, first
stopping in st. Francois County, four
years, and then going on into Iron
County, settling on the old homestead
among the Ozarks.
They faced the burdens Of life
bravely and by thrift and economy
built homo and reared their children,
never falling to promote school and
church interests. She possessed a
fearless disposition, strong devotion
to God, always admonishing her
children to be manly In sorrow,
pleasure, or pain, and that health,
virtue, truth and honesty were the
best assets a young man or woman
could have. BY her example, she
taught her family that God ruled the
warning elements and never failed to

The State and the Child.

The State has a right and duty to
require that all children be educated,
1t has a right and duty to require
that all be provided with sanitary
housing and with healthful food and
clothing. 1t has right and duty to
forbid that any child be made pre-
maturely Q labor slave, and SO be de-
prived OF normal childhood.
The State has no right to require
that any child shall submit to be in
oculated with loathsome disease,
even under the pretense that such
incubation is with but "mild form''
of such disease. IT is especially out
rageouA for any State to require, or to
permit any OF its governmental SUBJ
divisions to require, that children
shall be so inoculated as q condition
to their admission into the public
schools. And the States action passes
beyond the outrageous to the grotes-
que when 1t joins compulsory educa-
tion to compulsory incubation with
any form of loathsome disease.

application in other countries has
never exceeded, if it ever equaled,
this monstrously un- American condi-
tion which exists to-day in more than
one American State. In those states
the very bodies of little children are
compulsorily polluted with pus drawn
from a running sore on the body of a
diseased animal-and so polluted SOLE
ly in order that the private makers
and dispensers of this contagion may
gain a money profit-before being ad-
mitted to the public school which
their families are taxed to maintain.
This, in view of the facts that such
inocnlation frequently causes the
death or permanent crippling of its
innocent and helpless victim, and
that the highest medical authorities
disagree fatty concerning the alleged
beneficial effects of such incubation,
exhibits startlingly the length to
which public authorities, if uncheck-
ed, will usurp powers of control over
the people.
1t occurs to me that when the farm
ing out of fat special privileges to
favored groups goes the length of EN- :
powering one such group, for its own
gain, to inject foul disease into the
clean blood of multitude Of healthy
little children, on penalty of denying
those children an education, the time
has come to call halt. If need be

The Groundhog.

FLAT RIVER, Mo-, March 6.
Editor Register-If you can find
space for this in your paper will be
much pleased if you will print it.
AS to the grounding controversy
between one of your contributors and
Esquire Kitchell, of which your An
napolis correspondent writes, I will
say.
lam also an Esquire, as I write j.
P. after my name, and if grounding
| is living to-day that was born the
same year in which was born he had
sixty six birthday celebrations; and
am also surprised at the Hon. Esquire
Kitchell taking February 14th for
grounding day.
I have lived most of my life, by far,
in countries where there were ground
hogs aplenty, of which have killed
quite number with powder and lead
and dug more out of their dens; saw
many that I did not make any effort to
kill and have heard more bark allnight
through, and understand many of their
whims and tactics, although | have
never made their skins into wearing
apparel neither haveI tanned them
for shoe strings, much less have eaten
any of them.
The last farm I lived on was in
Madison County, Mo-, where they are
quite numerous, and all of my neigh
bors, old and young, would, in spite,
of my convincing argument, insist
that February 18th is grounding day.
Finally, l asked several of them
whether they ever heard them bark?
Well, they didn't know whether they
had or not; they may have heard
them, but didn't know what it was.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it is evident that
the groundhogs that the Hon. Es-
quire Kitchell saw was before the 14th,
as it was some two weeks before the
article appeared in your paper. Con-
sequently grounding day must be be-
fore that day, which undoubtedly and
indisputably is the second day of
February of each year. This I'd day
of February the sun did not shine
enough to brighten spot as large as
a pin head; on the 14th it shone
bright enough to cast a shadow all
day. l have convinced many a man
that the I'd is grounding day by hav-
ing them watch the sun on both days,
after which they gave it up. .
am writing this for the benefit Of
your subscribers generally and for
Esquire Kitchell especially, and ad-
wise them to notice the sun on both
days, closely, and If the sun does not
shine on the I'd they will hear the
animal bark at night and very likely
see one or more before the 14th. II
the sun does shine on the I'd, they
will notice its appearance right after
forty, days thereafter and not forty
days after the 14th.
Yours very Respectfully,
CONTRIBUTOR FROM FLAT RIVER.

Sixty Years Ago.

The well-worn saying "history re-
peats ITSELF" was never better illus
trated than when reading copy of a
newspaper called "Graham's Daily
MAIL" which fell into our hands the
other day. The paper was dated at
Philadelphia, Pa, April 81, 1885. One
might think periodical of this date
shack number" in every sense; and
it may be surprising to learn that
many of its news paragraphs would
not appear out of place in a paper of
o-day, while the subjects Of its lead
ing articles are just as much in the
public mind now as then.
For instance the progress Of the
European war, in which we read of
"the Allies," intrenchments, the pros
poets of peace, and the intimation
that Great Britain is a little too am
bitous about "ruling the waves"
Other subjects discussed are the
situation in Mexico, Prohibition
laws, "The Horrors Of War;" the
need Of more enlistments in the
United States Navy, and Submarine
Explorations;" these last were by
means of an improved diving bell.
In the article on prohibition the
editor is confident that such law will
be passed in Pennsylvania within a
year. He believes it the best possible
means of controlling the liquor traffic,
and considers it only matter of time
when it will prevail for the entire
country. Doubtless, however, he did
not foresee how much time.
The war, of course, was the Crimean,
in which the Allies, England and
France, were combined against their
present ally, Russia. We see by the
market reports that it had the same
effect as the present war on the price
of grain, only more SO. Wheat is
quoted at $2 80 to $275, -four, 81 so a
barrel, rye, $1.5O, corn, $1.10, oats,
.79c. Cotton was telling from six to
ten cents pound; sugar at about
present prices. But coffee is quoted
at ten and eleven cents, aud bacon
eight to ten, hams ten to twelve and
half. Another very modern touch
appears in the market report, where
against certain items is, "Nothing
doing.n
