At North I'lulto the diseased animals were dead when the commission arrived , having doubtless heard of Hani- heart and Johnson's work with the shot gun and concluded to get out of the way. Investigations of reported cases were made at Tabor , Camp Clarke , Sidney and Plum Creek , but in no instance was there anything like true glanders found. Requests for tlio veterinarian to examine suspected eases of contagious horsecattlo , and hog diseases are poiirinji in every day , and there is nearly enough work on hand now to occupy his time fully for a year to come. In many instances , of course , the suspicions are groundless , but there are many cases where the immedi ate attention of the veterinarian is a vital necessity , and yet in the present erippled condition of the bureau it is impossible to do more than to got at them in the regular order. niyrnicT couirr DOINOS.

"She was dressed in the usual fashion of trousers on trousers , the last pair be ing of such stiff brocade tlmt if put stand ing upright in the middle of the room there they would remain. Her hair was curled , not plaited , and she was literally covered with diamonds. She was quiet in her manners , and seemed dejected. She was most anxious to hear about European customs. "And what seemed to surprise her most was that we took tlio troublu to undress every night going to bed and she asked mo was it true that we put on a long while dross to pass the night in. "All Persian women arc astonished at this custom , and arc quite unable in ac count for it. They never undress at night they unite their thin mattress from its silken cover.draw it out from its place against the wall , ant } roll themselves up in tiio wadded quilt which forms their blanket.

SOME ROMANCES OF THE LAW Piction Tinding a Fiend in Tact Legal Puzzles Involving Posonal Identitji A Cniinlcrpart of the lioltbornc Cnso In Maine Another More He- marknblo in New York Story of a Chicago Lawyer. Chicago llurnld : One of the most In teresting of the legal puzzles wo moot with coinos out of eases involving per sonal identity , said a Chicago lawyer. The law books contain great numbers of instances where persons have success fully personated others , and also where a real similarity of person and form have led to the unjust accusation ot Innocent persons , The Tichborno case is a recent and familiar example of an imposture that failed , but it nearly succeeded. The mother recognized the claimant , as her son , and there arcs thousands of people in England to-day who believe thalltogcr Tielibornc is wrongfully kept out of his estiitc. I see by the papers that another person claiming to bo Roger Tielibornc lias just sailed from Now York for Kng- land , and we will probably soon bo hearing - ing of another contest owe the famous Here is a case very similiar to it that occurred in the state of .Maine nearly tor- ty years ago. It was known as "The llatibo ease , " and created quite astir in its day. 1 will try and give you a brief outline of it. In the year 1S4(5 ( Janii's Hausc , a gentleman of wealth and good position , resided at Corinna , a small vijlage in Penobscol county , thirty-two miles from Hangor. Ho was married and had several children. In that year one of Ids sons , Rowland Hatisu , left home , wenl to New Hertford , and there shipped on board a whaling vessel for a voyage to the Pacilic ocean. At I lie sinio : time there lived at Troy , a small town in Waldo county , Maine , some twenty-tivu miles south of Corinna , a man named Suth Huusc , not at all related to James llause. He had a son Luther , of about the saint ! ago as Rowland , twenty-three or twenty-lour years old , who worked as a common laborer in Hangor. After Rowland shipped on boaid the whaling vessel ho was not heard of again up to the year 184 ! ) . In that year a friend and neighbor of James Huusc chanced to .see Luther in Uangor , and concluded lie was the Rowland. On his return to Co rinna he informed the father that he had seen Rowland in Hangor. On this information mation the father scut another friend to bring his son homo. That friend , a Mr. Roberts , met Luther , took him to bo Row land , and pursuadcd him to return to Co- rinna. Roberts took him to his own house and then sent for Mr. and Mrs. James llause , and presented Luther us their son. The young man addressed Mr. Huusu as father , and turning to Mrs. Ilausc , throw his arms about her neck and said : "How do you do , mother ! " Mrs. llauso was not quite satisfied , and said : "Is it possible you are my long lost son Rowland ? " Ho answered : "Yes , mother , it is me. " She then said to him : "If you ' are my son you have a scar on your knee. He pulled up his pants and showed a scar on his knee. She then said ; "My son has a scar on his breast that was burned. " lie imlled away his shirt bosom and showed a scar on his breast. She then said : "My son Row land has a scar on his neck , under his car. " Ho showed that he had a scar at that place. She then took him home and asked him to show iior the room where ho used to sleep. He went up stairs to the very room , threw himself upon the bed , and said this is my old bed. And so it was. He had luckily guessed it. This seemed to satisfy them , and they acknowledged him as their son , and other friends anil schoolmates identified him also. A sister identified him by a scar on his head , and the imposture was credited for a number of months. At length one day a Mr. Dow came over from Troy to Corinna. and meeting Luther rccogni/.cd him as the son of Seth llauso , of Troy. Luther repudiated all knowledge of Dow , but it was of no avail in the end. Witnesses wore brought up who had known him at Troy all the years of his life. HQ was arrested , tried and convicted of obtaining goods under false pretenses , and the trial created an unexampled interest. As so often hap pens in such cases , the populace took sides with the prisoner , and thought him unjustly punished. Shortly afterward the real Rowland llauso appeared on the scene , having left the whaler and takim to gold seeking inCalifornia. Another case that occurred in New York City at the beginning of the present century is still moro remarkable. It is reported at length in the New York City Hall Recorder , and also in Hall's American Law Journal , two very rare volumes which you can Hud , however , in the Chicago Law Institute. I will give you the story as brielly as possible. In September , 1800 , a man calling him- eulf Thomas Hoag made his appearance .n Rocklaud county , thirty miles north jof New York City. Ho was a common 1 aboror , and was employed as a farm hand by several persons of the county. Shortly after Ids ' arrival ho became acquainted with a Miss Catherine Secor , and , after paying his addresses to her for a time , they wcru married on Christmas dayof the same year by Judge Coe , one of the judges of the court of common pleas oi Uockland county. They lived together as mim nud wife , uud lie pur sued his daily calling in that vicinity until the end of March. 1801 , whun ho suddenly disappeared uud never returned to that neighborhood. Three years after ward ti man known as Joseph Parker was arrested aud tried for bigamy in the court of oyor and terminor in Now York City. The indictment charged that , hav ing on the 8th of May , 1879 , lawfully married one Susan Faoseh , who was still living , ho had unlawfully , on the 33th of December , 1800 , under the alias 'of Thomas Hoag , contracted a second mar riage with Catherine Secor , The de fendant admitted the first marriage , and that hi * wife was still living , but denied the second marriage. The prosecution then introduced three witnesses the judtre who had performed the marriage ceremony , the deserted wife , and one who had known Hoag intimately in Rook- land county , who swore in the most positive terms that the prisoner was Tfiomus Hoag , that ho hail resided con stantly in KooKland county from Septem ber , 1800 , until March , 1601 , and that on Doc. 25 , 1800 , ho had married Catherine Sccor ; that ho had worked for them , was daily ut their tables , and that there was HO possibility of their being mistaken as to the man. The woman testified that shu was as well convinced as she could possibly bo of anything in the world that the defendant was the person who mar ried her under the uumo of Thomas Hoag , On the strength of this testimony the prosecution rested. Six witnesses were 'now called for the defense , who wcro all persons of character and re spectability , who testified that the defendant - fondant was Joseph Parker ; that ho worked at rigging and loading vessels , and that at night | ui served on the city watch ; that during the period from Sep tember , 1800 , to Marph. 1801 , ha had not been ; \b5ont from the city for a longer Jicrioc ! lsj ! : : 6 wr.nk. ami flint on Deo. 35. 1BCO , ho was engaged in Ids usual fiV"6cu- tions in the city. These witnesses were just as Positive that the defendant was Joseph Parker as the prosecuting wit nesses liad been that ho was Thomas .Hong. . Hut the counsel for the prosecution hod other testimony to rcsoryo , widen . they now produced.1 ' Hpven other witnesses were called wlfo fdcntilicd the prisoner by marks and dears on the person , by the sound of his vpicv , which was extremely peculiar , and by a.ccrtuln shrugging of his shoulders. , Thomas Hong had a scar on his forehead , aWotheron his neck , and one just above htflip , and certain peculi arities of voice , sbeeeh and gesture , all of which wero.plnm aud palpable in the prisoner. In addition to these three or four witnesses'swore positively to a sear that lie had under1 his foot between the heel aud ball , which was plain and easy to bo scon Thuy were all convinced that the prisoner was no other than Thomas Hong , The dcfenso'now introduced two more witnesses , who swore unhesitatingly that the prisoner had not been out of' New York city from ! ? $ ! > until 1801 , except on 0110 occasion for a single week and on another for a month , both of which ab sence was lully accounted for. One of thcso witnesses was a man who had con stantly worked with him , aud the other was ins mother-in-law , who had seen him almost daily. At this stage the bewilderment of judge , jury and spectators ? was about complete , for it did not scorn possible tlmt the worldcould contain two men so reinaikablv alike that even the accidcn tnl scars of tile person were the samn , and yet , if it were not so , what a dread ful lot of perjury had been committed by persons of the greatest respectability. It was now Agreed between the counsel that the prisoner should show his naked feet to the jury in order that they might ascertain whether the particular scar upon one of them which had boon sworn to as being on tha foot of Thomas Hong was visible. Thu reporter says that upon oxhibltmn Ills feet no mark or scar could be seen on either of them. The defense also called the captain of the watch , who sworn positively that the defendant hud been on duty as a watch man continuously during the period in question , and that particularly he WHS on duty December 28 , 18SO. The jury , with out retiring , found a verdict of not guilty. This is probably the most remarkable case of mistaken identity that our law books contain. The absence of the sear on the foot saved Parker. That scums to have been the only visible dillcroncc be tween him and Hoag. In every other re- spcct , nature and accident had combined to make the men precisely alike. 1 can not tell you whether IIoni ; was ever hoard of again or not. Like all the stories in our law books it ends with the result of the particular trial. Hut it is another proof that truth is stranger than fiction , and I think you will admit that if a novelist had invented such a story it would have boon scouted at as beyond the domain of probability. "HITTING THE PIPE. " An Old California ! ! Tells Ills Expert- cnco with thu Opium Fiends. S an Francisco Call : "O , yes"ho said , as we sauntered through Chinatown and were assaulted. byMts unsavory odors , "I have smoked opium , i recognize the fa miliar smcll."sic "And still continue to do so.

Of course , I had to give some excuse for my foolishness ; I wished to JOiirti the secret of opium's control over the iiilnds and bodies of its votaries. This is how it was , and I might as well moke alcliKin breast of it. I'm not a Do Qnincuy , but I'll tell you as clearly as I can my feelings while under the inllucnco of the drug. I hud become acquainted with a gambler , one of the most expert in the state , whether in front or behind the game. I noticed that ho often loft the table , when dealing , and after he returned , say in half an hour , his manner had undergone a change ; ho manipulated thu cards with greater ease and steadiness. Ono day 1 asked him the plain question : "D , why do you call on a substitute and quit the game so of ten V" " 'Opium , my boy , ' he said , in a fever ish way. 'I can clo notning without it. Steadies the nerves. Deprive me of my periodical pipe and I'm like a fiddle minus strings. Ever try a whin" ? " " 'No. ' ' "Then you'd better take my advice and continue to lot it alone. ' "Hut my curiosity was aroused , and after accompanying D to Ids favorite opium haunt several times , 1 resolved to realize the snnsations derived from smok ing , whatever they might be. I 'hit' my lirst pipe , as tlxj slang goes , about 4 o'clock one nftcri.oon , and shudder now as the romombrunco of the terribly sick ening experience I passed through recurs to nut. It was lurd work in tlio begin ning to get the pipestcm properly ad justed to my mouth , and the method of smoking is different from that when you arc cnjoyingtobicco. In inhaling opium smoke you draw the fnnio into tlio lungs by a long pull , and then exhale it slowiy. A pipeful will hut about one minute , and then you have to roll a now pill , and so on , until the desired effect is obtained. LiKe most beginnpr.s , I smoked too much ut the start , but liardly felt the power of the drug till I row from the bunk whore I had lain. Then 1 became compara tively helpless , and staggered like a drunken man , zipzaging toward a water- pitcher , of the coitenls of which I drank a cupful or more. Nausea followed , and when I reached my wooden couch again , my lower limbs gave way completely , and I fell helpless , and insensible. 1 lay in that state tor three hours , or until my friendD , who had. missed me , and suspecting whore I hud gone , found and 'brought mo to inj'solf. With Ids help f got to my room In the hotel , where I again foil into a shop , disturbed by rest lessness and honiblo dreams. I would awake screaming ind with the idea some one was in the room sookin < r my life. In fact. I made such A racket that the night clerk threatened to send for the police and have mo urrdted for being drunk and disordorlymni alarming the house. Ho summoned Dr - , who sat up with mo till morning , iwlum I still felt the effects of the duugjbut was able to rise. " 'Well , old folUw , ' said ho , in a bant ering way , 'JiovY do you like it ns far as you'vo gone ! ' | , | | | " It'sa pretty rough introduction,11 opiicd , 'and I gioss I'll go no further.

Itcst- lossness supervened , and lids dream of delight was romubd oil' by horrible men tal images that momblcd tlio harpies of Doro , as he pictured thorn in tho. Inferno , Then 1 came hickiii u dazed way , to real life again , drank the strong tea , as I had been advised , and went homo with all my nerves in a state ot protest. "Dating from that time 1 indulged in the pipe for three months , nnd I felt the habit wasgradiuillybindingmo in chains. One night , however , not fcolliig well , I retired earlier than usual aud missrd my regular hour for smoking , which was about 10 o'clock. Then came the tug of war. 1 was clzed with cramps as If all my intestines wore in a vise , had hot and cold ( lashes , while a cold , clammy per spiration strcamrd from cvory pore. After hwo hours of this agony D hap pened to conic in. " 'What's the matter , old fellow ? ' " 'Don't know. I'm dying , 1 think. ' " 'Did you liavo a pipe this evening ? ' " 'No ; turned in early and missed my smoko. ' " That's It , ' said ho , 'It's the opium. You have been treating the drug with in gratitude and it is taking its revenge. ' " 'Oh , for Hod's sake , D , bring me something hot to drink , 1 shall die else. 1 um like Slophnno , nothing but a cramp. ' 'Tutting Ids hand in Ids pocket , he took out an opium pill , saying : 'Here , take this. The pill's the thing you want. ' "Hut my resolution seemed to strength en in proportion as mv pain was severe. " 'No more opium for mo , D , If the agony I am sull'ering now bo caused by the drug after the short experience 1 have had witli it , what must the victims feel after a year or two ? I'll never touch It again. I'm in pain now , but 1 will get over it without your pill or die. ' " 1 did get over my Illness but it was thro.o days before 1 could leave the bod. Neither by pipe , potion or pill have I renewed - nowed acquaintance with the drug since. Perhaps some constitutions are moro sen sitive to the cflcct of opium than others , but if any one has suffered more from it than I did during the time being 1 pity him.

They also occupy the lands north of Salt Lake forty miles to Ogden , nnd on up to Utah nortliorn for 417 miles to Hutto City , in Montana. Seven hundred miles of railroad are lined with them. They outnumber all voters in Utah three to one , and in Idaho they have the bal ance of jiower. They arc all actuated with ono idea to increase , multiply , and and replenish the earth. To have many children and finally outnumber the ( Jen- tiles is their religion. That idea seizes even the women. They try to have children , and vie with each other to see who shall have the greatest number. They are increasing in Utah and Idaho live times as fast as the Gentiles. livery Mormon child is boru a church member , and is taught to be a polygamist from birth. I have traveled among the Mormons foi 500 miles. 1 have been in their houses and talked with their wives. There are over 10,000 Mormons who have polygamous wives from ono to twelve. The recent prosecution of tha polygamists - mists ( there are now sixty in jail in Salt Lake ) has united all the ignorant Mor mons on the sulJject of polygamy. J have failed to lind a Mormon woman -.vlio docs not bonst of the virtues of poly gamy , and the shameless say , " 1 hope my husband will take as many wives us ho wants to. " Now , what is to bo dpno ? I spent many hours with the Mormon loaders in Salt Lake. I foung President Taylor , Bishop * Cannon and John W. Young , the favorite son of the prophet , hiding in the woods to avoid sentence. Hiram Clawson. contemporary with Joseph Smith and Hriglmm from Nauvoo to Salt Lake , had just served a six months' sentence for living in bigamy with two of Hrigham Young's daughters. I have been known ns a friend of llio Mormons and they talked plainly with me. I found that Hishop Clawson nnd Bishop Cannon were much troubled. They pretended to believe that polygamy camu in a divine revolution through Brigham Young. "We consider polygamy a part of our religion , " they said , "and the constitu tion guarantees religious freedom. " They call male lust "ridigion ! " I tried hard to got them to say thalthoy would give up future polygamy. They invariably replied : "Hut it is our religion. How can wo give it npV" When I asked Hiram Clawson if ho would bo willing to give up future polygamy if the government would let past polygamy take euro of itself , ho said : "You can say that I nm willing to have future polygamy punished according to the laws , but I am not willing to have families who went into polygamy years ago disturbed. 1 married two of Urightim Young's daughters. I have twenty-seven children by them. 1 shall never abandon cither of these wives unless I am In prison , I will suffer my whole life be hind the bars , but I will stand by these wives and against making any of these children illegitimate ) . " This is tno absolute status of 10,000 polygamies in Ari/.ona , Idaho end Utah today. What can bo done with thorny Ku I'KUKINS. PUCKS' l > Hjl2S ! PIfjIO.S A sure euro for Blind.
