IN THE COURTS, Callahan's Case Agnin Demanding Atten- tion—Many Minor Litigations, The **No Man's" lunu fight has been trans- ferred from the field o the courts, and there all of tho batties arc to be fought over again. “The trouble in this caso is of long standing and originally grew out of the ownership of some lands in the vieinity of Florence lake, near this city. The land in question was formed by accretion and joined a school sec: tion. The state claimed the land for the benefit of the public schools, while John Han- sen and u number of other parties claimed possession on account of settlement. There wero some men _on_ tho inside who pot the lion’s share of the real estate, while the others hung around the edges and cursed their luck. John Hansen, being more fortunato than the others, managed to seize upon a goodly portion of the washed out soil and_at once converted it into a_truck patceh, to the great displeasuro of his less fortunate neighbors. As time rolted on, Edward Callaban, William Beanett, Char S, Waddell, and Ea- ward Cullivan, concluded they would dis- posess Hanseu. The case wound its cir- cuitous way through the justice courts to the satisfaction of some auc the aissatis- faction of others. "That was L00 slow a wag to settle matters of the kind and u_shotzun policy was inaug- urated. In this Hansen got the worst of tne deal and came out of tho fray with his legs fillod with bird and_auei shot For several days, undor the care of the doctor, he re- mained i1n bed, but today he bied himself to this city and at once brought suit against Callahan, Bennett, Waddell and Cullian to recover §10,060 damages. For a founda- tion on which to base bhis claim, he alleges that on March 16, 1502, while pur- suing the evea tenor of his ways, tho four mov assaulted, bruisedd and beat him, Not atistied with this, with motive aforethought, they aimed thew guns at him and afterwards filled bis legs with shot. Overa Louisu Kinsey charges that P. M. Mullen swindled her most unmercifully in o land deal. She avers that during the summer _of 1580'she was o woman who bad considerablo ready cash, which she was desivous of investing in something that would increase in value and add to her bank account and other worldly pos- sossions. As sho was sceking for a placo in which to plant her mouey, sbe happened 1o meet Mullen, who told her that he had 160 acres of land iu Holt county, which, with the improvements thercon, was' worth §2,500 in cold cash. “Thinking that the _statements were truo, tho plaintiff avors that she purchased tac land, paying the prico that was uskod, but to her Rorrow, when she weat upon the land, sho found that (here were no improvements, anc¢ that the property was worth not to oxceed §1,000. Now sho charges fraud, avd demands the return of £1,500, which amount she declares she will have if ihere is any justice in the courts of Douglas county.

Pab lic roads and highways, in their rela tons to the iuternal commerco and agricultural industries of A country havo been ingeniously compared to | tho veins and arteries of a human body Ihrough these the blood circulates in every direction und thus keeps alive tho amimal system, but if tho circulation 1s by any means chiecked or obstructed, even in tho remotest part, that part soon becomos uscless and Sinks into decay, and in somo degree is felt throughout thoe entiro body. Just so, our public ronds ure the channels through which flow the vital principals ot our commercial and agricultural systems, but, without a fres and uninterrupted communication, it 1s possible that these systems can exist, or at least produce to the ‘community ut large so maoy beuetits as they otherwise might bave done, It is obvious, therefore, that a proper and healthy development of tho higher and more advanced state of civilization of & country depends in no small measure upon the condi tion of its public roads. How many, for ex- ample, aro the piaces in almost overy coun- try that might be rendered doubly valuable if the access were practicable and easy, How immenso the quantities of the finest timter, pernans growing in inaccessible woods, which on that account alone are lost to sceicty How many the valuable strata of the richest metals and minerals which from the sumo cause lie buried and undisturbod in the Lowels of the earth. How many hundreds of acres of fertile soil that mignt be improved and cultivated to the highest degree of per. feetion. and thus very largely contribute to increase the food and the comiorts of man, were tho ingress and egress rendered pr ticabio and freo: and last but not least, th value of tho furms, consequently the riches, perbups the strength of o country, greatly depends upon an easy and uninterrupted com- munication by good rouds. Good roads, by diminishing tho cost of carziage, put the remote parts of the country more weurly upon a lovel with those in tho neighborhood of a town. They are, upon that account, the greatest of all improve- ments. ‘They encourage the cultivation of the remote, which must always be the most extensivo circle of the country. Though thoy introduce some rival commodities into the old market, they open many new mar- kets to its produce.” The Romans were sensiblo of this that we are told they aid think it beneath the dignity of the common- wealth to utterd to the convenicncies from these roads. That great and wiso people carried on, at an immense expense, roaas from the center of the cmpire to many of tho remoter provinces. The readier march of their armies was perhaps their first motive, but the casier intercourse of the several parts of their great empiro was another which they had too much prudence and wis dom to overlook. Before the establishment of turnpike roads iu England many parts of that kingdom, like the highland of Scotland, were scarcely accessable. The imperative necessity of better highways soon became apnarent to tho Eunglish people, Today the Britisn isles aro threaded from one end to tho other and from side to side by tho well known Macadam and Telford hard stone roaas, and today the British isles stand at the head of the com- mercial world. Upon emerging from the dense darkness of the middle agee IFrance immediately took steps to repair her old roads and o construct new ones. Today tho road tem of France stands unrivalled. By experiment, and by the better light of experience, the English people, the French peoplo and their veighvors all over the European continent, bave learned that true economy in the construction and repair of the common roads, as in the construction and renaiv of the great railroads, consists in the scientific makine and systematic main. tenance of these roads according to fixed rales and under tho direction of an autelli- gent head, Where Iingland and France stood a cen- tury ago, in regard to the road question, the United States stands o Much as it erates upon American pride yet we are com- pelled to admit thutour antiguated American road statutes are as much as 100 years be- hind tho times, Measured by every rule of economy, public or private, these common rouds of ‘the United States are not only the very worst in the civilized world, but in labor and money we are spending moro to carry on a “systom” of inadequate and shiit- less maiatenance than would be sufticient to keop in proper repair doubic tho length of first class stone roads under the methods pursued by France, England and otber Euro- pean states, ‘I'o the obstacies which may bo internosed aud the objections which may from time to timo be urged against the American road re- former wo have another answer to make and that is Lo point you to the place whero the Bigh class roads aro in uso and their man- ifola blessings self-evident. The rond sys- tem of Frauce has been of far greater vaiuo to the country as a meauns of raising the value of lauds, and of putting the small peas ant proprietors in easy communication with their markets than havo the railways. Itis tho opinion of wel! informed Irenchmon, who have made & practieal study of oco- nomic problems that tho superb roads of France have been ono of tho most atendy and potent contributions to the material develop ment and marvelous financial clasticity of the country, Tho fur-reaching and svlen didly mamtained road system b s distinetly favored the s.accoss of the small lunded pro- prietors, aud in their prosperity and the en- suing aistribution of wealth lies tho key to the secret of the wonderful financinl v and solid prospority of tho lrencli nation, The United States nceds better public roads. Truly it is astonishing to noto tho fact that whilo nearly all the leading coun- tries of the civilizod world stand forth in the full binze of mid-duy sun, as regards tho road systems, this entorprising young American republic is still groping i~ the dark, Our common road system scems 1o bo the ono thing which bas s vet failed to receivo proper attention. But the timo has now como for an awakening from this stupid lethargy. The shocking condition of our road systein must be placed bofore the peopic and the hand of government directcd to the reconstruction and caring of our main roads, ‘I'nen will follow an effort at emulation on the part of tho local authorities: branch roads will bo improved; that abominable systom of Sfarming out” rosd taxes will disuppear road building will receive animpulso al stimulation that will finally tend to the welding together of all the systems for mu tual benefit; and the Unitod” States, instead of bringing up tho rear of the procession, will tako her stand proudly in tho van, witl a road system similar to that of hor Euro T ot uatil then, can co among tho nit TERPLELD MYENRS, she tious. - DeWitV'sSarsapariig is reliable, | | Ho Gives His Version of the World's PRESIDENT ~ STRANG'S SIDH Commission Muddle, f% TEXT OF HIS LETTER OF RESIGNATION He Makes a Showing of the Finances andf States His Rensons for Resigning— Thinks There 18 Nothing te Be Explai Mr. A, L.
