AFTER CALEB POWERS.

The sensation in Republican poll
tics this year is being staged in the
Eleventh Congressional district
Strong forces are after Caleb Pow
ers' political scalp. Judge j. NJ.
Robson, of BarbOuryille, Powers
home town, is being groomed by
many strong leaders, and supported
by majority Of the Republican press
Of the district, for the nomination for
Powers seat in Congress. Editor
Mcdonald, of the home town of both
candidates, comes out strongly in his
paper for Robson. He says that
Powers has no influence in Congress,
and that for ten years the district
has been without representation
But Notwithstanding the leaders and
newspapers are for Robson, the fell
lows at the heads of the creeks and
on the mountain sides are yet to be
heard from, and Powers strength has
been with that class.

DITCH CASE REVERSED.

The Court of Appeals has just
handed down a decision reversing the
Ohio Circuit Court in the Finley Car
ter often case, which has been on
the docket here for the past two
years.
This was an action brought by Fin
ley Carter, J. A. Bellamy, w. F. How
ard, and A. p. Kelly to establish a
ditch on Panther creek. l.. A.
Ralph, J. l.. Patton, II. w. Ralph and
G. M. CambrOn, land owners affected,
lied exceptions and the issue was
j)ined. On the trial in Circuit Court,
it appears that the trial judge in
structed the jury that to establish
the ditch it must have been proven
that the ditch would conserve the
public health, and this fact not hav-
ing been shown, the jury found for
the defendants.
The petitioners appealed to the
Appellate Court with the result men
toned The Court of Appeals in
rendering an opinion held that the
interest OF public health was not vital
to granting the petitioners pray
er for the establishment of the drain
age ditch, where it was shown that
the ditch would be of public benefit
in the matter of drainage for agricul-
tural purposes. The superior court
also held that the trial Judge erred
in admitting evidence of land own

laid below the lower end of the drain
age ditch, would be damaged by ex-
cessive. overhows resulting from the
digging of the ditch, they not having

SUES ILLINOIS CENTRAL.

V. NJ. Render. (col.) of McHenry,
has filed suit through his attorneys,
Heavrin & Martin, against the Illi-
nois Central Railroad Company to
recover damages for sickness and
loss of time from his labor, which he
alleged resulted from failure of the
companys agent to provide suitable
heat in the colored waiting room
while he was waiting for transporta-
ion on defendants train. He alleges
that after buying a ticket for Gen.
trail City he had to wait for a train
which was two hours late, and that
in a waiting room without fire, and
in a temperature of fifteen degrees
below zero. We are not passing on
the facts alleged, but out of our own
recent experience of riding in refrig-
orator coaches during the recent cold
weather we are very strongly inclin-
ed to the opinion that the courts
should rigidly enforce the laws re-
quiring transportation companies to
provide adequate heat about their de-
pots and en- trains.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Trading in

THE FIRST RIFT
In WAR CLOUDS
Germany And Ukranians
Form Pact And Break
Peace Ice.

Saturday morning at Q o'clock the
Central Powers and the Ukranian
republic formed the first of what
must finally end in a series of peace
pacts among the twenty-three ma
tions now engaged in the great world
war.
Despairing Of reaching an UNDER
standing with the Bolsheviki, the
bread-hungry Grmans turned with
oyerturos OF peace to the Ukranian
Republic which controls some of the
richest grain fields in Russia. The
Ukraniaus, who have set up a gov
eminent for themselves in south
western Russia, had for some time
been conducting secretly peace terms
with the Central Powers, and the
Bolshevild are highly incensed over
their action. This action of the
Ukranians viii probably result in re-
newcd military activities between the
new republic and the BOlsheviki, with
the probability the Central Powers
viii render substantial assistance to
the Ukraniaus.
