IT AFFECTS THK MILK.
Nature of tlio IHaonao Among Council
Bluflto Cattle.
A disease which appears to bo n sort of
contagious opthalmia prevails among the cat
tle in Council Bluffs , especially among the
cows belonging to prlvnto citizens and pas
tured In the bottoms. The disease Is rapidly
convoyed from ono to another when associ
ated In bunches , and the cows are rapidly be
coming blind in ono or both eyes. The ani
mals recover very slowly unless properly
treated In the early stages.
Dr. Hixmncclottl was neon and asked If , in
his opinion , the milk glvon b.v these cows was
fit for consumption , Ho stated the disease
would affect the milk Indirectly , as It would
tend to stop the secretions and render the
milk more or less unhealthy. Ho oxpro od
the opinion that the animals would event
ually recover with proper treatment , but
thoucht they should bo separated from the
other cows , as the disease spreads very
rapidly.
It was learned that only two milk wagons
como to this city from the BlulTs. The
names of the proprietors could not bo
lenrncfl , and it U not known whether or not
their cattle nro nlfoctod.
Dr , Kanmccloltl was of the opinion that
the COWK atTcotud were family cows owned
by Individuals , and thnt none of them wcro
to property of milkmen. Ha also stated
that no trace of the disease hod appeared in
tli is cltv , and "ho anticipated no trouble on
th.it score. Ho said that the disease had
undoubtedly originated among range caltlo
which had been brought from the range and
were affected by the change la the atmos

A - STOUNOGIRL'S VANITY.
Anxious to Have a To3 Amputated to
Make Her Feet Symmetrical.
"Doctor , plonso cut the other too off ,
won't you ? "
"My dear , I can't do it. It's 1m-
posslblbl" And tliat ia part of u con
versation Hint Dr. Robert Taylor , of the
Actors'Fund ' , and a pretty Rroclc villa
belle Imvo repeated almost weekly since
July 8 , 1880. On that dnto the younff
lady , then the daughter of a wealthy
mnrohunt , had her foot crushed in a
carriage accident. Several hones had
to bo removed and when the foot healed
the little too was missing says the
Now York World. It was neces
sary for hoi * to _ have her shoes made to
order , for while the original foot re
quired a 31 G hoot the reduced member
was comfort'aplo in a 3 A. In the terri
ble blizzard of 1888 the retired mer
chant met his death , and when the girl
with the nine tees caino into possession
of her snare of property her lirst con
sideration was with Dr. Taylor regard
ing the possible price , not pain , it
would cost to reduce her tees to a
double quartette.
It so happened'that the case at the
time wont on record ns the only in
stance where the affliction had not ter
minated fatally , as traumatic tetanus or' '
lock-jaw resulted from the wound , and
the greatest skill was necessary to save ,
the life"of tho-patient. For nine days
she endured most excruciating pains , '
that nothing but largo doses of mor
phine would allay. Lock-jaw was mani
fested three days after the accident.
The body was bent so that the headland
hoola almost touched and the jaws wore
so firmly set that a _ tooth had to bo re
moved through which aperture stimu
lants were administered by the intro-
( tuctioir of n tube , life being -
ing sustained with rye , brandy ,
punch , champagne and cggnog.
All through the case .the muscles of
the face , arms and side twitched so
violently that the constant attendance
of two people was requireiSrat the bod-
side. Yet the remembrance of all that
horrible agony seems to have remained
only with the doctor , as the young lady
with the odd pair of foot is not only
willing to co through it again , but will
take her life in her own hands and ab
solve Dr. Taylor of all responsibility
for the sake of having her foot mates' ,
ns she [ Hits it. And suoh is the extent
to which a woman's vanity will lead
her.
LINCOLN'S RELIGION.
He Had Depp Convictions But Fol
lowed Nn Creed.
The forthcoming ( August ) number of ,
the Century will contain-n chapter on
"I-iincoln and the Churches" in the Lin
coln history , by Messrs. Hay and Nico-
lay , from which the following is an ex
tract from advance shoots :
Ho was a man of profound and intense
religious feeling. Wo have no purpose
of. attempting to formulate his oreed ;
we question if ho himself over did so.
There have boon swift witnesses who ,
judging from expressions uttered in his
callow youth , have called him an athe
ist , and others who , with the most laud-
ttblo intentions , have remembered ini-
urolmbloconvorsutiont * which they bring ,
forward to prove at once his orthodoxy
and their own intimacy with him. But
leaving aside those apocryphal evi
dences , wo have only to look at his
authentic public and private utterances
to see ho\v deep and strong in all the
latter part of his life was the cu-ront of
his religious thought and emotion. Ho
continually invited and appreciated , ac
their highest value , the prayers of good
people. The pressure of tbo tremend
ous problems by which ho was
surrounded the awful moral alg-i
niilcanco of the conflict in which ho was
the chief combatant ; the overwhelming
sense of perfeonal responsibility , which
never loft him for an hour all con
tributed to produce , in a temperament
naturally tibnous and predisposed to n
spiritual view of life and conduct , a
sense of reverent acceptance of the
guidance ot a Superior Power. From
thnt morning , when , standing' amid the
falling snoyvllalces on the railway car ut
SpHngjleld , ho asked the prnyovs of his
neighbors in those touching nhrnses
whoso echo lose llmt night in invoca
tions Irom thousands of family altars ,
to that memorable hour when on
the atom of the capital ho
humbled himself before his Creator in
the Bublimo words of the second in
augural , there is not an expression
known to have como from his lips or his
pou but proves that ho hold himself nn-
Bworablo in every act of his career to n
moro august tribunal thnn any on
earth. The fact that houis not u com
municant of any church , and thut ho
was singularly reserved. . ! ! ! regard to his
personui rqllglous life , gives only the
greater force to these striking proofs of
hi ? profound reverence and faith.
I am of the opinion S. 8. S. should stand at
the head of the list ef blood remedies. I ar
rived at this conclusion from the testimony
of scores of porsoas who uavo told mo of the
good results from its uso. I have boea Bell ,

DBS MOINKS , la. , July 14. [ Special Telegram -
gram toTiiBlJEE. ] There Is n very amus
ing , and no doubt to the participants a very
Important llttlo fight going on botwcou two
little towns In southern Iowa , which Ufa
railroad commissioners have been called
upon to dccldo. The two rival towns are
Knowlton and Diagonal , both on the line of
the Chicago. St. Paul & Kansas City rail
road , though but ono of them , Knntvlton , la
n station. At Diagonal the Humcston &
Shen&ndo&h road crosses the other , by nn
overhead crossing. The people at that plnco
want the Kansas City road to establish a
station there , thinking that with the two
roods they will have a boom right away.
13uc tlio road stops at ICnowltou , a mlle and
tf half "away , and the company thinks there
Is not business enough to Justify'the main-
tcnunco of two stations so near together.
The pcopio of Diagonal want the road to
make Its station there and abandon Knowl
ton. They have generously offered town
lots to Knowlton pcopio If they will glvo up
their hamlet and come over and llvo with
them. Hut neither town is willing
to surrender its grip upon the
future , and so the commissioners were
sent for. They wont down last week and
had a great picnic. Each .town had prepared
a Fourth of July celebration in their honor ,
and they wcro met vt the train by the local
dignitaries and given a great rccoptipu. At
Ktiowltou , the mooting was hold in the
church , where local orators waxed eloquent
with pralso of the future greatness of the
placo. Then came ablgdinncr ; for the vis
itors , and then everybody adjourned to the
rival , Diagonal. Hero the exorcises , were
hold lu n grove , and substantially the same
proernmrae was carried out. The commis
sioners listened patiently to the oratory and
arguments and then took thi case under
advlboment and caino away. The people of
Diagonal urge that tno railroad is obliged
to make a station at tliolr place , because it
Is at the intersection of another roaJ , but
as the crossing is an overhead ono and not
on grade , some ralso the point that it is not
the one contemplated in the law. The two
little towns , neither of them much larger
than a pint of cider , are wa tliu' anxiously
for the decision of the commissioners on the
question which is to thorn of momentous in
terest.

Tlio Gubernatorial Contest.
Sioux CITT , la. , July 14. [ Special to THE
BEK. ] The interest in the contest for the
republican nomination for governor of Iowa
is increasing hero. There is in Sioux City
virtually no difference of opinion among the
politicians as to qhlco among the three can
didates who are contesting for the nomina
tion. These candidates are Hon. H. C.
Wheeler , of Sao county ; Lieutenant Gov
ernor Hull , of Polk county , and Senator
Hutchinson , of Wapollo county. Lieutenant
Governor Hull has _ many personal friends
hero , but they nro disposed to discard his
claims for olllco this year , inasmuch as ho
has not drawn a breath out of ofllco in Iowa
from the day ho returned homo from.ono
year's service in the -army during the
civil war. The unanimous disposition hero
is to stand byitliacandidate of northwestern
Iowa , who Is Mr. VVheeldr. His county -is
ono Of tlio extreme northwestern counties 6f
the state , which constitute the Eleventh eon'-
grcssional district. This district has never
been allowed to name the republican candi
date for governor. It has never been conceded -
coded any of the prime honors at the party
ia Iowa. And yet the party is now forced to
depend upon the north western rqnntlos for a
majority in the state. Outside of them the
republican party is a minority party In Iowa.
But for . their republican strength
Larrabeo would have .boon de
feated In 1883 , and again in 1837.
These and similar facts have bound tbo re
publicans of northwestern Iowa together in
a common interest , and this feeling is
stronger this year than over before.
The entire northwestern quarter- the
state will go to the convention virtually solid
for Mr. Wheeler , who will have , Itis be
lieved , much support from other sections of
the state. This county is the lending county
in this part of the state , being entitled to
twenty-two delegates , and it will be a solid
and distinctive Wheeler delegation. There
are only three other counties In Iowa baring
so inauy delegates as this county.
Pullrd Off Hie Trains.
DBS MOINF.S , la. , July 14. [ Special Tale-
gram to TUB BEE , ] A rather peculiar case
of a railroad going out of business is found
In southern Iowa. This is the Ceutorvillo ,
Moravia & Albla railway , twenty-four miles
long , running from. Kolay to Alula. The ,
road has never paid expenses , and tno' '
owners cor.cluded a few days ago that they
couldn't afford to run It for the moro pleas
ure of running a railroad , and so pulled off
the trains. The people along the line of the
road that had contributed some $40,000 in
taxes to help build it , are not very v/oll
pleased at the turn things have taken ; but
smco the road doesn't pay expenses its own
ers can hardly bo expected to run ll ut a
dead loss. However , the case has been re
ferred to the railroad commissioners to sue
if they can devise any relief for the people
who llvo alone the line , but now llnd them
selves living in the country , several inlles
from railroad facilities.

that the proceedings of the Sam-

the draft of the treaty was muuo out in

that now that the precedent has boon

It is not strange that clearness and

Hoiv nn oducnto'l ' man , a scientist and
physician.fools whllo trying to end his
life with repeated doses of poison , his
sensations anil experiences , IP told in nn
extraordinary narrative loft by Dr. John
W. Waters , who committed suicide on
Sunday evening nt his lodging house ,
No. 30 College place , says a Now York
dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-Demo
crat. The record of his forty-olght
hours' experiment with death is con
tained in a letter found yesterday in his
room. It Is addressed to his friend , Dr.
G. W. Wells , ono of the medical exam
iners of the Mutual Life insurance com
pany. It is as cold-blooded and scien
tific as the report-of a chemical nunly-
sls. Dr. Waters was sixty-live years
old. Up had boon a man of wealth.
Years ago ho was the leading physician
of Carson City , Nov. , whore ho had a
flno homo and a practice worth 820,000.
Thq letter to Dr. Wells is : i detailed ac
count of his sensations after ho had
swallowed poison enough to kill throe
ordinary men. Ho intended that it
' should bo u ,
CONTUniUTION TO S1KDICAI , SCirNXJE.
Ho wrote it-as Pasteur might write of
inoculation experiments on dogs. For
moro than thirty-six hours ho endured
the agony tho'poison ' caused him. Al
though his hand trembled so much that
, much of his writing is almost illegible ,
he coolly jotted down his observations
on the o'tToots of the poison. It failed to
kill him , and ho put an end to the horrible
rible tragedy with two shots from a re
volver. The record begins in this
fashion :
"I took , as- near as I can estimate ,
fifty-eight grains of mornhino between
10 and 12 o'clock Friday night. My
syringe only holds an ounce. The en
tire number of injections was fifty-four ,
and I drank three and a half ounces of
the solution. " At 2 o'clock he writes
that the morphine has not produced any
"soporific olTcct. " But his skin has been
covered with "an itching , prickling
rash. " His hand shakes so that ho can
scarcely write. Ho fools nauboatod , but
his stomach is ompty. His system is
"completely relaxed , " the perspiration
"profuse , " and the pulse rapid , "rarely
falling below 100 , but varying so from
minute to minute that 1 hardly know
how to.charactorizo it. "
At 4 o'clock ho writes : "I can scarcely
believe that such a dose can fail to prove
effectual. "
A little later ! "There is no case on
record of recovery from such a dose.
Can it bo that this will fail ? "
At 10 o'clock Saturday morning ho
notes that it is twelve hours since ho
took the dose , and. expresses surprise
that ho still lives. At 2 o'clock ho be-
gins-to think of taking cocaine.
"I do not know the effect of cocaine , "
ho adds , ' -and fear it would not bo deadly
bnoiighHor ray'-purposo , bin I must try'
it and take the chances. "
Ho takes live drops and records "pro
fuse perspiration" and "aggravated
nausea. " At 11:30 : his stomach rejected
"some ton or twelve ounces of dark
green bile , " which affords him "somo
relief. " Ho llnds his head "dizzy , " but
his hand "steadier , " Ho comforts him
self with the rolloction that on previous
occasions when ho had _ taken morphine
the soporific effects did not follow until
twenty-four hours afterward , and adds :
"It will bo
INTERESTING TO NOTE
the effects of the overwhelming dose
taken last night when the time for its
soporillc effect arrives. "
At 4:20 ho writes : "I presume no ono
else over had so tedious an exit , and I
am at a loss to understand it. Of
course , I know that I could take a largo
dose of morphine without danger , but
that over fifty grains could bo taken
without proving promptly fatal never
occurred to mo , and I believe still it
will bo fatal to-night , when the tjoporihc
effect comes on. "
At 9 o'clock , twenty-threo hours after
taking the morphine , ho experiences
no soporific effect , and , the morphine -
phino being all gone , takes moro
cocoaino , and saya : "I would
like to know how uuch cocouine
is required to cause death. " A little
later ho contemplates using a revolver.
"I always had a dislike to shooting or
stabbing or any mutilating , " ho writes.
"It seems brutal , but I fear I must como
to It. It seems that misfortune and
failure attend my efforts oven to the
end of my existence. Now , if the co-
cainp fails , the revolver may also , for
the cartridges "are ton years old. But
they have always been kept well
wrapped In the original box , and maybe
bo good yet. "
Atl2o'cloekSaturdaynight ho writes :
"It is evident now that the morphine Is
a failure. I am very much disappointed
and don't know what is best to do. The
revolver would bo perhaps the best , but
I have a strong prejudice against using
it , and. besides , it would alarm the
house. " A little after 5 o'clock Sunday
morning ho writes : "I am sinking , If
my feelings are any guido. I shall not
have to use the revolver. I can scarcely
hold the pencil. "
This follows at 0:30 : : "I am exceed
ingly sick and weak. This is anything'
but a pleasant way to end one's ' life. It
is too tedious , painful and distressing.
Hue luuibca alone would bo hard to
boar , but when it is complicated with
half a dozen othordistressing symptoms
it is indeed hard to boar , and I shall not
boar It moro than two hours longer. I
can not'stand it. If I do not die by
8 o'alock I shall use the revolver. Ono
symptom I did not mention was the
INAllIfclTY TO JUDQJ5 OK DIHTANCKS ,
Everything appeared nearer to mo
than it was , and In taking up anything
I invariably reached beyond it. "
At 1:25 : : "lam very thirsty from
profuse porsp'ratton , and water does
not seem to ngree with mo. What
would I not give for some good brandy
or champagne now if I had anything to
give ? 1 am a tough ono , it Booms. I
wonder if n bullet through the heart
will kill mo , or ono through the brainV
I must try it , for J can not endure this
suffering any longer. It is now 8:50 ,
and I am no nearer death than I was
at 8 o'clock , when I appeared to bo
sinking , "
This is the last entry : "It is 9 o'clock
Sunday morning , and I will wait for
death no longer. I will try the revolver
and see how that works. I expect a
good and immediate rcault from that if
this trembling does not confuse my aim.
I shall aim for the heart just below the
fifth rib. You can not expect one to tell
n story very connectedly when ho has
taken so much poison ns I have. I have
now boon thirty-six hours trying to kill
myself , and I hayo not yet succeeded.
It Is now 9:50. : The symptoms of dissolu
tion are passing away. I want to use the
pistol \yhllo still numb from the co-
calno. I ntn nfrald my violent trem
bling will disarrange my aim , butl will

breast and so steady my hand , I am

my lips for forty-eight hours , and my
nervous system Is in n state of complete
prostration from the onormouB doses of
narcotics I have taken , I have no do-
slro for food , and cannot have while the
deathly nausea lasts. "
That was the last flmry. According
to Dr. Wntor's landlady ho was alive ,
seated at the table , apparently writing ,
nt 0 o'clock Sunday evening , when she
took him some toast and tea. An hour
later ho was dead , with a bullet in his
brain.
THE ORIGINAL HOME OF MAN.
Where AVn Edoii 1/oontcd / ? 'Xlio Poo-
trine of Involution.
Eden , according to the prevalent
idea of the teaching of the blblo , was n
district of Armenia , watered by the
Tigris Und Euphrates. The biblical
narrative , in fact , mentions the Eu
phrates as ono of the rivers of Eden.
Undoubtedly , in the common bollof ,
Parndiso was In Asia , and not In Europe -
rope or Africa. A low ingenious
persons , it is true , have lo
cated man's birthplace In Europe
or Africa , some < having tno
hardihood to establish it in America ;
but these who have made the most fan
ciful u&u of the scanty evidence supplied
by the second chapter of Genesis have
been content usually to find the "gar-
don eastward in Eden , " within the lim
its of Asiti. Scientists , who hold a
special view respecting the mode of
man's origin , nru approaching , it is
pleasant to observe , says the Bal
timore Sun , agreement with the
general view as to Its place.
In his now work on ovolutlon Mr. Alfred
Wallace , who may bo said to rank with
Darwin as the creator of the now view
of the origin of species , expresses the
belief that ninn originated in ono of the
plateaus of Asia. Hnoukol's view WIB :
somewhat dilTorent. Ho hold that man ,
or his progenitor , originated in a conti
nent which once existed east of Africa
and south of Asia , but which is at pres
ent the bed of the Indian ocean.
This continent , ho supposed , was con
nected on the west with Madagascar
and Africa and on the north with Asia ,
and it was by succcbsivo migrations
westward and. northward that Africa
and Asia were peopled. Hero in a trop
ical region , according to Hneckpl , were
found the conditions which favored the
intellectual and physical development
ot the progenitor of the human und the
monkey races. Wallace holds , on the
contrary , thnt man originated in Asia
and in some part 'of it favored
with a temperature of sub-tropical
climate. "It is probable , " ho say.s ,
"that bo began his existence on the
open plains or the high plateaus of the
temperate or sub-tropical _ zone , whore
the seed of indigenous cereals and nu
merous horbivora , rodents , and game
birds , with fishes , mollusks in the lakes
and rivers and seas , supplied him with'
sin. abundance of varied-food. " Hero ho
would develop , not the aboroal struct
ure of the monkey , fitted in hands and
feet for obtaining ripened fruit from
trees by climbing , but the btruc-
turo that titled him to got his
living while roaming through scanty
woods and over the open plains. Mr.
Wallace finds man related to the an
thropoid ape. It is not his belief , of
course , thut ho is descended from the
ape as ho knows him , but th.xt man and
the anthropoid ape are descended from
n common ancestor. The genealogical
tree of man and the ape , according to
the ' evolutionist view , has many
branches , widely separated for ages
post , but if converging lines could bo
followed back far enough a point , it is
believed , would ultimately bo reached
where tbo son wh.o was the lirstancostor
of man was the brother of the ilrst
ancestor of the anthropoid nno.
The father of them both was of course
noithor'maii nor ape. It was his sons
who , differing much in character , force ,
and progrossivonoHs , developed in them
selves and in succeeding generations
the structure and qualities that now
distinguish man and the ape from caoh
other. To Mr. Wallace it is clear thnt
ninn and the anthropoid tipes originated
in the same region of the earth.
Where , then , have the latter been
found to bo now existing , or to have
existed in former ngos ? They
have never existed , it appears ,
in America , and did not exist in Africa
when it was connected with Madagas
car and both were separated from Asia.
Madagascar was ( separated from Africa
before the latter became joined with
Asia by the Isthmus of Suez. The ani
mals of ancient Africa are therefore to
bo sought in Madagascar. But there
are no traces of anthropoid apes in
Madagascar. These , therefore , which
now exist In Africa must have
como. from Asia. There is proof that
man existed before the Isthmus of Sue/
robe above the level of the ben , and ,
supposing his distribution to have
been like that of his buppoaod relative ,
ho must have ranched Africa by land
from Abia. The color of the Chinaman ,
intornieditito between the blitck of
Africa and the white of Europe , Mr. '
Wallace thinks the original color of
man. The suns of Africa ebon i'/ed the
complexion of the African while the
winters of Europe \vorehlnnchingtho
European. % Further explanation of the
plateaus of' Central Asia may bring to
light , Mr , Wallace suggests , the early
man , the missing linlc , whoso persistent
alibi , so to spunk , is so damaging to the
evolutionist.

Among the political and diplomatic
innovations of which Prince liismnrck
is the father , remarks Das Volk , the
most novel and most amusing is the
"international kiss. " says the Pall
Mall Gtr/.otto , When Bismarck and
Crisp ! mot , the Prussian surprised
the Italian by giving him a
hearty kiss. The poetry of kisses
is encyclopaedical , but n Gorman pool
has said that there are only three kibsc
which come diront fnom heaven tlio
kiss of a mother to her now-born babe ,
the first kiss of two lovers , und the last
kiss which is impressed upon the lips of
the doad. The Bismarckinn kiss IKW
not boon anticipated by any of the poets
and no precedent is to bo found for it in
the rich literature of oscu'ntion.
Many a poet has looked upon secrecy
as ono of the elements of perfection in a
kiss. The now diplomatic kiHS , how
ever , was ostentatiously public , arid it
was supposed to bo given by the whole
of Germany to the whole of Italy , and to
pass from Berlin to the remotest elec
toral districts in the valley of Apulia ,
As Bismarck iu the glass of fashion to
so many of our modern statesmen , wo
may expect his diplomatic kiss to bo
Jmftatoa. * When the shah arrives in
London , may wo bo present to sue the
kiss with which Lord Salisbury , iw
premier of England , greets the highest
dignitary in the train of the Asiatic
potentate. _ _

Chapter SO authorises transcripts of Judg
ments ami decrees of the United Suites
court R to bo IHeil In the ofllco
of the clorka of the district
court. Whether It Is Intended to
repeal the United States law * upon this
subject or not Is a question which K hard to
answer judging from the act itself , but con
gress wants to "look a llttlo out , "
Ono of tlio most Important enactments Is
that relating to the descent of property.
Heretofore a wlfo had only u dower rlgnt In
the lands of hci husband that li , a life estate -
tate In tho'lncomo of one-third of his real
estate , liut chapter ! > 7 amends tho1 law so
that now the wlfo takes one-third of her
husband's real estate In fee simple , which
virtually makes her a joint tenant with him.
Tlio husband also has a fee In one-third of
the lands of his wife , thus doing away with
the cstato by cpurtesy. So radical a change
Is apt to complicate estates , especially largo
ones.
Chapter ll ! amends the charter of metro
politan cities ( Omaha ) . Tlio principal
changes are in roioronco to the powers of
the police mid park commissioners.
Chapter 57 provides for a very complete
system of registration of voters In cities.
Chapter 20 gives the board of llro and
police commissioners the exclusive right to
grant liquor licenses.
An nuiondntory and supplemental net to
the liquor law is found In chapter id , giving
the authorities the right to ontorany building
to search for liquor mid destroy the same.
This law was enacted so as to reach saloojis
within the "two-milo limit , " and houses of
prostitution.
Chapter 17 creates a rcservo fund for met
ropolitan police , by assessing all policemen
not to exceed ono uor cent of their pav , ap
propriating the flues of policemen for mis
conduct , ono fourth of all rewards received ,
and one-third of all moneys received by sale
of unclaimed property , which Is to bo uscil to
support policemen while sick or disabled ,
funeral expanses , relief of their families in
case of death , and to pension those honorably
discharged.

peace instead of eighteen , us at present.
Chapter S : ) is a hint to our large-hoartod

The governor can pardon two good , well-

State banks , as per chapter U7 , must liavo

Insurance companies did not got in their

chapter 48 compels the insurance company to

The registers of deeds worked the boys In

two , as heretofore.
There are a great many other nets of minor ,
importance , mostly amendatory of existing
laws. Taken as a whole , the last legislature ,
ns evidenced by this book , has dnno very
creditable work. I presume the courts will
"knockout" the usual

they will repeal souio. So tno work will go
