Yesterday another long list of import-
nut desieions wore handed down hy the
court , covering eases appealed from all
sections of the stato. Among these in
teresting desieions is the decision in tlio
case brought to recover the life insurance
held by Griffin of state house robbery im
mortality. It will bo remembered that
the victim of the plot held a life policy in
the Beatrice Life Insurance company ,
and notwithstanding that the court found
the detectives guilty and sentenced them
for the murder of Grillin , the Insurance
comimny attempted to avoid payment on
{ he ground that Grillin was committing
a crime. Tlio supreme court now holds
thai Griffin was not in the act of coinmit-
Img a crime when ho was shot.

board of equalization _ in reviewing the
assessment of an individual , Ids appel
late , special nnd judicial powers , and
until evidence is rccived 'by it in support
of the complaint , tlio taxpayer may rely
upon the valuation made by tlio assessor.

Nob. , CM , "That a previous ruling by an
appellate court upon a point distinctly
inuSo , is n linal adjudication , from the
consequences of which the court cannot
depart nor the parties relieve them
selves , " is applicable onlj' to legal prin

"Great Mogul" the diamond known
under this name has received an amount.
of attention beyond any other. Under
the name of the "Ivolnnoor" ( mountain
of light ) , it played an important part in
the exhibition of 1831. The history of
this stone dates back to 5(115.0. ( ; but
there is nothing known with certainty
about it until the beginning of tlio four
teenth centurv. After the annexation of
the Pun.jaub liy the English government
it came into the possession of the queen
of England on Juno ! ! , 18.10. Its weight
then was 180 1-10 carats , of an irregular
egg-like shape , and valued at $700,000. ,
It was then reduced to 100 1-10 carats ami

Civil Rcrvlni ) Sentiments.
Cleveland Loader : Gon. Logan did
not bnliovo in civil service reform. Ho
thought the republicans ought to leave
the olliccs , nnd he had n contempt for
theSe who desired to bo retained under
Cleveland. A few moments after Cleve
land was inaugurated ho said to n friend ;
"I hope every republican who asks to
bo retained by this administration will bo
turned out of ollieo. I have received
letter after letter from republicans in
ollieo urging mo to exert myself to hnvo
them retained. 1 shall not numiliate my
self in that way. 1 would rather help to
got republicans of that sort out. In fact ,
it is strange to me that n republican
would ask n democratic administration to
keep him in ollice. No republican would
ask Cleveland to appoint iiim , if ho was
out of office. A petition for retention
stands on the same principle. It is
virtually asking a democrat for nn ap
pointment. If a republican would not
ask for an ollieo ho should not ask to bo
retained in one. If lie hi holding nn
ollieo nnd is asked to remain on account
of liis faithful services , it is another
thing. In that case ho has a right to ac
cept , but ho is clearly wrong in asking to
retained. "

"One Nnll Driven Out .Anollicr. "
Is a French saying that finds exemplifi
cation in the way one disease will substitute -
stituto itself for another -and graver one ,
in very many cases. Liver disease for
instance will soon induce blood disorders ,
throat ailments , skin nll'cctions nnd even
tually , because ot impoverished blood ,
consumption itself , unless indeed , it bo
treated in its incipionoy nnd early pro
gress by Dr. Picrco's "Golden Medical
Discovery" which acts as n specific in
these ailments , accomplishing a rapid
cure by its powerful alterative action
upon the great organs of the body.
iHitllona In Kpcclnl Cars.
Inter Ocean : Fine special cars are one
of the extravagances of American rail
roads , and not n small oxtrnvngiinco
either. Of the twenty or thirty western
and northwestern roaJs each one has
from fOO.OOO to $100,000 invested in
palace cars. If these cars lasted forever
tliero would still bo from 2,000,000 to
$3,000,000 invested in palaces on wheels ,
which did the stockholders no earthly
good , which drew no interest , but which
did cost money to maintain , Take all
the roads on this continent , nnd it would
probably bo found that there are $5,000 ,
000 on wheels for the solo delectation of
their genera ) olllcors , mid a study of the
books of these roads would probably
she w that the 5,000,000 worth of mag
nificent rqlling stock needed to be re-
ueweU every ten years.
