Few Dogs Listed.

Franklin county, outside of Colum-

ven, if the reports of deputy county
assessors are to be believed. These
reports show that in the county out
side of Columbus there are but SIS
dogs and that Jackson, Prairie, Madi-
son, Washington, Brown and Norwich
townships have none at all. Another
oddity of the deputy assessors reports
is that there is not watch in all
Brown township and the supposition
is that the only way to tell time in
that section is by the sun.

Coal Rate Case.

Finding the case of greatest scope
and presenting greater complications
than was expected attorneys for the
mining interests in the hearing be
fore the public utilities commission
asked for a recess to be taken until
August IL, which was agreed to by
the railroad interests and granted by
the commission. At that date the.
miners attorneys said they expected
to be ready to go through with their
case without delay. It now seems that
public sentiment in favor of settling
the disagreement between railroad
men and operators rushed both sides
into hearing too quickly and before
either side was prepared.
