W. R. Davis of the Lakeshore Stage
Company gives it as a certainty that
there will be a new boat line on the low
er Klaiuath waters this summer, this
will include a line to Merrill and one
from Lairds to this city. The Merrill
line has the backing of the business men
of that city, enough stock having been
subscribed there to assure the construc
tion of a boat especially designed for
the navigation of the shallow waters
leading to that town. The services of
Mr. Balling of Portland have been se
cured and it is proposed to have him de
sign a boat that will draw not more
than ten inches of water and equip the
same with an ice breaking apparatus of j
sufficient power to admit of navigation '
i
during the winter.

Back of the Merrill line is a story that
is quite interesting. Relative thereto a
prominent citizen of Merrill remarked
this week: “You can put it down as a
moral certainty that this boat line to
Merrill is not a myth. It will be in
operation this summer and for a long
time thereafter. The people of Merrill

Napoleon would have won the battle
>f Waterloo had Grouchy prevented
the junction of the Prussians with the
English army, because he would not
have had to fight two battles at once.
Few persons realise that the so called
battle of Waterloo was in reality a
double battle, somewhat like Jena and
Auers tad t. Napoleon fought one bat
tle at Waterloo against the English.
On the arrival of the Prussians he was
forced to go In person toward I’tanche-
noit and there fight another battle
against the Prussian nrmy, leaving to
Ney the conduct of the troops at Wa
terloo. It is a well known maxim in
war that a very great or decisive vic
tory cannot be gained unless one com
mander makes a serious blunder of
which the other takes Immediate ad
vantage. It is very evident that the
fact of the emperor having to fight
two battles at once instead of concen
trating his attention on one alone enor

mistake. Moreover, Napoleon did not

When the llarl of Richmond had
defeated Richard 111. at Bosworth aud
had been crowned king as Henry \ IL,
he found the times in so troubled a
state that men whose rights were in
fringed upon or denied them dared not
apply !’• r justice to the ordinary courts.
The unblushing manner in which
bribes and threats were resorted to by
those tliat hail Inline ice over the pro
ceedings of these courts denied to them
the security of a juror’s oath.
To reach a mischief that had growu
so intolerable Henry, feeling himself
strong enough with his second [mriia-
menL created a court made up of
the highest officers of tlie kingdom,
embracing, theoretically, the king him
self, who was considered tlie author
of all justice, to which were confided
unlimited power aud discretion over a
large, undefined class of offenses, many
of which were of a political character,
without the restraint of a jury and
subject to no revision by appeal.
This was afterward known as the
court of the star chamber, so called
because the ceiling of the room in
which it met was studded with stars
or because iu this apartment prior to
the time of Edward I. the contracts
of the Jews, called starrs, were de
posited in boxes or chests.
This scheme had good results at first.
Wealthy landowners wlio bad op
pressed their neighbors with iupunlty
were brought before this court, where
neither fear nor favor could avail, and
tried for their offenses. The greatest
merit of the court was that it was not
dependent oil a jury, for juries were
unable or unwilling to render a verdict
in keeping with their consciences.
One said, "A court thus constituted
with powers ho broad and a discretion
unlimited by prescribed rules, though
called into existence for wise and salu
tary purposes, was in the end like in
voking the s| irit of mischief without
a corresponding power iu reserve to
lay it or cheek its excesses if Inclined
to abuse its authority."
Instead of losing power as the neces
sity for its existence passed away It
drew to itself new elements of strength
and enlarged the extent of its jurisdic
tion. It became, after successive ad
ministrations under tLe hands of am-
bltious leade-s such as fiou rished in
the time of Henry VIII, Elizabeth and
the two Stuarts, a uiu-1 potent engine
of despotic rule and intolerance. Tor
ture. intimidation ana other devices
were used to compel toe accused to in
criminate himself.
Charles L, through tt e star chamber,
tilled his coffers. During bis reign such
enormous tines were imposed for triv
ial offenses that the audience gathered
about the courtroom at 3 o'clock iu the
morning to secure seats to hear the
proceedings. The discretionary power
of the court in the way of punishment
made it a means of cruel injustice I d
the hands of bad men, instances of
which disgrace the history of its ad
ministration during the reigns of
James I. aud Charles L
One of the most tv markable cases
was that of Bishop Williams, who bad I

prelate and a man <f learning and
spirit aud at one time a special favor

half of Laud, afterward archbishop,
who owed his first promotion to liis
good offices. Some disagreement arose
between them. Nothing would satisfy
Laud but the ruin of the man who
bad lw;friended him.
On some slight pretext the bishop
was brought before the star chamber
and fined £10,000, committed to the
Tower during the king's pleasure and
suspended from office, Ilis furniture
and books were levied upon to pay the
fine. Among some retuse papers were
fouud some letters from Obaldiston, a
schoolmaster, directed to the bishop. In
these letters the writer spoke of a
"little great man” and In one place of
a "little urchin.” As Laud was small
of stature, it was conjectured that
these terms referred to him. They
were both tried, one for receiving such
scandalous letters and the other for
writing them. Williams paid a fine of
£8,000 and Obaldiston £5,000, aud he
had his ears nailed to the pillory.
I’rynne, u barrister at law, of Lin
coln's Inn, a Puritan of the strictest
sect, published his famous “Illstrio
Mastix,” a huge volume of 1,000 quarto
pages, aimed at stage plays, music
dancing, public festivals, Christmas
sports, bonfires and maypoles. For this
alleged libelous volume be was arraign
ed before tlie star chumber.
Mr. I’rynne, in his general sw-eep for
bls historical illustration of the mis
chief of frequenting plays, referred to
Nero and spoke of Flavius and others
who conspired against him for his bad
example upon the magistrates and the
people. Tlie chief Justice from this in
ferred that the author Intended to In
stigate the people to murder tlie king,
and I’rynne was deprived of his right
of practice ns a barrister, condemned
to stand In the pillory at Westminster
and Cbeapside, to lose his ears, one at
each of these places, to pay a line of
£5,000 and to be imprisoned for life.
There was hardly a man In the realm
who had not personal experience of the
harshness and greediness of the star
chamber. It became odious, and not
without reason. It was abolished In
1041 as one of the nets of concession
made by Charles I. to the demands of
an Indignant nation. Prynue aud bls
fellow martyrs were recalled from
prison. They entered London in tri
