tlmo when the town will bo nblo to
build a more substantial one. There
has boon a great deal going on of
late on our , streets which has not been
approved by the law abiding citizens
of our city , but owing to the fact that
wo were not prepared to handle the
iw 'breakers , the authorities were
orccd to pass them up. But there Is
n old saying , that "when you give
lieni an Inch they will take a yard , "
nd It Is because ; the offenders be-
ame too strong that the board took

er should be appreciated by every
aw abiding citizen in our town , ns
lie presence of the little building will

English Justice Slow.
London , Jan. 9. Those who have
recently been boasting of the speed
with which English justice Is dis
pensed can hardly point with pride
to the case of Poddar and Howard vs.
Woodward , which was resumed today
after having been hanging lire for
nearly six centuries.
The case was originally filed in
1348 , during the reign of Edward II ,
and was brought hy the Abbot of St.
Osyth , Essex , against Richard do
Maundeville , the point at Issue being
the right of Richard to hold a market
In Stowmarket. The abbot , as the
lord of the manor , alleged that Maun-
devlllo's grant was illegally obtained
and sought to have It set aside. Maun-
devlllo went away to the wars In
France and claimed the king's pro
tection during his absence , causing
the case to bo adjourned. G. F. How
ard and C. N. Peddnr are the modern
representatives of Maundeville , and
they object to the right of the present
day representative of the abbott , G.
A. Woodward , to set up a rival mar
ket. Extracts from the pleadings of
the abbot and of Maundeville are ex
pected to play an Important part In
: ho hearing , which was resumed last
November , but almost Immediately
adjourned until today. At that tlmo
the justice held that there was no
need for haste In deciding a case
which had been continued for 503
years.
TAFT , TOO , AGAINST LORIMER.
Whitewash Made the President Take
a Hand for Party's Sake.
Washington , Jan. 9. President Tnft
has taken a personal Interest in the
Larimer case , which Is coming up for
action in the senate before long , and
has shown that he Is not satisfied with
the whitewashing report of the com
mittee on privileges and elections and
will not ho content with action by the
senate of anything less thnn a full and
complete ventilation of the scaifdal.
This means , of course , that Senator
Lorlmcr's chances of vindication by
vote of the senate are very much less
than they wore before the president
throw his influence into the scale and
that Larimer Is In for the fight of his
life If ho retains his scat in the upper
house of congress.
