The report that Jesse McMahon had suicided in Canada , seems to huvo no foundation beyond the imagination of some gossip , Charles Haughan , who re cently returned from Kansas City , is said to have met MoMahon several times , so that lint report of his being in Canada or of having made way with himself can hardly be true. Justice Ilarnott yesterday officiated at the marriage of George S. Watkins , of this city , and Rose Cotton , of Dolianco. The happy oridgroom was not arrayed in the conventional black , but in a blue Hhlrt and his every day pantaloons , and bothered not with coat or vest.

ALL ABOUT THE BLUFFS , Another Move to Make Saloons Pay License Co Long as They Run. THE PUBLIC LIBRARY. Steering Clear of Feverish Texas Cat. lie HcrmotiH anil Services at the Churches A Sensational Itu- nior Aljout the Titles. BltiRt I'ny License. Although there are seventy-live saloons running in the city , holes in Iho wall , be sides the well apnointcd bars , the city is getting no revenue from them , or has not been of la to. There are numerous gambling houses and houses of prostitu tion , but these have not of late been pay ing the usual revenue toward paying the expenses of the city. The mayor has ovldontlyconcludod that if these places are being allowed to do business , they should uay something into Iho city treasury. The police have of late been notifying the keepers of such places that they must pay or bo closed up. There is no tolling when the saloons now running will be closed , but so long as they do run they must pay , under the "pop" ordi nance , the license being $25 a month. In response to the notification a number of them have paid their license. It is un derstood that a move will bo made by the city to close those who do not pay , An attempt is being made to force the gam bling houses to pay. There is a kick from them. They say that if the saloons are closed their business is affected and they cannot afford to pay as of old. They object to paying- also on the ground that others who ilo a like business arc not compelled to pay. They claim that it is just as much gambling to s-oll French pools and deal in combinations on base ball as to play faro. If Mich arc not called on to pay $50 or ifGO a month , then all should bo allowed to go free too. There is also a little trouble in forcing paymdnt , on account of the position taken by Judge Aylesworth. It is under stood that he does not think the city has the right to collect the fines or penalties from the gamblers under a city ordi nance , so 'long as then ; is a .state law which fixes the penalty for such oliensos. The old way of procedure was for gam blers to put up money for their appear ance at some future date , and this money was forfeited and \vent into the city treas ury without any trial , and with no record made against the defendants. It is un derstood that Judge Aylesworth will not bo u party any longer to this mode of securing a revenue. On the other hand it is claimed that tiio chief cause cause of this charge in the judi cial proceedings , is because the city in sists on paying the judge in warrants instead ot cash. Ho lias it in his power to increase or dimin ish the cash receipts of the city tea a great extent , and it seems that he'does not propose , under the circumstances , helping the city to increase its cash rev enues by countenancing any such pro- ce > sos as have boon heretofore in vogue. Sonic interesting questions will proba bly arise before these matters arc settled. The city is limited in its power to levy a general fund tax , and the need of raising revenues from sources whieli cause addi tional expense to the city , seems urgent to the mayor and council. The date is drawing near when it is to bo "put up or shut up , " and if the city determines to close such places as do pay the required license , the move will bo even quicker than that of private persons united in a prohibition club. With the prohibition ists and the cltv both at thorn it will bean an up-hill task to continue business. TKX.18 CATTLE. An Important Decision Rendered by Judge Shlras ot the U. 8. Court. There was considerable excitement caused hero two years ago , by the impor tation into Harrison county , of some Texas cattle , who were infected with the feror. Other cattle , natives , caught it , and many died. Two men , Ball and L'inkham , wcro arrested , charged with having violated the section of the Iowa code , forbidding such importation. The question of the constitutionality of sec tion -1058 was raised , anil the men were discharged. Then civil suits were bo- mm. P. C. Kiminish sued them for $5,000 damnges. To the petition a do- murier was made , setting up the uncon- stitutinnality of the section under which the suit was brought. Judge Shiras has just rendered a decision , overruling the demurrer , and in this Judge Love con curs. Flickingor Bros , arc the attorneys for the plaintiff , and Sapp and Pusoy for the defendants. The opinion is as follows : Si-ctlons 4053 and 40.V.I of the code of lown , In force In 18S5 , were ixs follows : Section 40.78. "If any person bring Into this state any Texas cuttle , ho shall be lined not exceeding $1,000. or Imprisoned in the county jail not exceeding thirty days , unless they have boon wintered at least one winter north of the southern boundary of the state of Missouri or Kansas , pinvldoU that noth ing herein contained shall be construed to pievcntor make unlawful the transporta tion of such cnttlo through this state on rail ways , or to prohibit the driving throit'li any part of the state , or having In possession any Texas cattle between the 1st dav of Novem ber and the first day of April following.1' Section 405' ) . 'It any person now or hero- after lias In his possession in this ttate any such Texas cattle , ho shall bo liable for any damages that may accrue from allowing ! < ald cattle to run at largo anil thereby spreading the disease- among other cattle known as the Texas fever , and shall be punlsncd as pro scribed In the preceding chapter. " By an act of the legislature approved April 10 , 1885 , these sections were expressly 10- pealed ana substitutes tberefor were en acted. Defendants claim that the repeal of sec tion 40.V. , without any saving clause , termi nates the right to recover , the section boi penal. Section 45 of the code provides that "the repeal of a statute does not rnvivu a statute previously repealed , nor affect any rUht which has accrued , any duty Imposed , any penalty incurred , or any proceeding commenced monced , unless by vlrtuo of the statute ro- repealed. " . Under the provisions of this section the rights of the parties are not atTectea by the repeal of section 4059. The argument of counsel for defendants In support of the demurrer Is principally In support of the proposition that sections 4.05Saml 4.05'.i of the code are unconstitu tional In that they are regulations of inter state commerce within the iieiinltlon given to thatterm , In Itallioad company vs. IhiM U5 LI. S. 405. In that cause , the supreme court had under consideration a statute of the state of Mis souri , which absolutely prohibited the bring ing Into the state for cfcht mouths In the year any Texas , Mexican or Indian cattle , with the proviso , that bringing such cattle Into the state loaded upon ears for transpor tation through It , without unloading , should not bo deemed a violation of the act , but that the transportation company should bo liable tor all damages caused , by the communica tion of disease from such cattle. The supreme court held that "while they may pass sanitary laws , and laws for the protection of life , liberty , health and property within Its borders ; \vliilo it may prevent per sons and animals suffering under contagious or Infectious ill senses from entering the state while for the purpose of self-tnotic'.lon I may establish quarantine and reasonable transportation laws , it may not Interfere with transportation mtu or through the state , beyond what Is t.bjolutely necessary tor -ielf-protectlou , " The court held , that the restrictions anil burdens placed by this act upon the trans pdrtatlon companies was so onerous as to substantially prohibit commerce In theio cat tie. and that therefore the act was void. That the restrictions of the Inwa statute In forc lu liS5 , were less burdensome ibau GARDEN HOSE , Steam , Gas and Water Pipe _ .

Iowa. those of the statute held unconstitutional In tlio case cited , is apparent , but whether sut- ticli'iUly so to remove the constitutional dlf- ticulty , It Is not necessary .to determine. Kvcn If section 40.VS could not bo sustained as being only a fair exorcise of the power of tlie state to protect Its citizens and their property apainst infection and disease , would It follow that section 40j' ' , which declares that anyone haviiiK in his possession any Texas cattle shall bo liable for any damages that may result from permitting the same to run at largo , tnereby communicating disease to other cattle , is unconstitutional ? Without , however , deciding the questions argued by counsel touching tlio validity of thcso sections of the code , It seoius clear that the ilomurrer to the amended petition cannot bo sustained , because the facts therein stated constitute a cause of action , without aid from the statutory provisions. it Is alleged In the petition that the rattle owned by defendants were lulected with the disease known as "Texas fever , " ami that If brought Into proximity to native cattle , or upon pastures thereof , the disease would bo liabln to be communicated ; that the , defend ants knew this fact , and with such knowledge brought such infected oittlo Into Iowa , and permitted them to run at largo upon the ruiiuo used by plalntlll's cattle , and thereby the latter became Intectod and many of them died. died.Tho The facts averred In the petition would jus tify the jury in rindini : that the defendants were negligent In permitting such cattle to run at largo , when the natural and probable result of so doing would bo the communica tion of disease to other cattle , and If through the negligence of defendants , as a proximate cause , loss 1ms boon occasioned to plaintiff , an action therefore can bo maintained. The demurrer Is therefore overruled. Largo consignment of Solvngo Smyrna Rugs received Saturday. Council Mills Carpet Co. Selvage Smyrna , Ruga nt ttbout one- half usual jfrico this week only.
