Everest that a road , In which he waa Interested in Hazel Dell township be graded by the county WPB re jected On Investigation the board found that the road In question had never been opened up by the townohlp authorities. The petition for the erection of a bridge over Pony creek Just east of the city limits was granted , and the matxer was left with Supervisor Matthews to attend to. The application of the Fulltr & Johnson Manufacturing company for a cancellation of personal taxes was rejected , the board de ciding that It preferred to leave the question to be HJttled by the courts. This Is a stmllai ! case aa brought by several of the implement firms In this city who claim that the goods J taxed are "goods In transit" and having been already subjected to taxation at the other I end are not liable here. Fuller < .

( Im-Nllon iif Illeunl Selnlmr Cnlln the Mntler Un Attain. County Attorney Kllpnck Is desirous that the question of whether Lake Manawa Is a boundary water or pirt of the Missouri era a water1of the state of Iowa bo dotormlncvl by the court of last recourse , nnd In all piobablllty the supreme court will In the near future bo asked to pnas upon It A number of prosecutions have been brought lu the courts hero from tlmo to time against parties seining In the lake and the defend ants have escaped conviction , the courts holding as a rule that Lake Manawa was not a water of the state Recently in the case In which Price Gibson and F. M , Phil lips were charged with seining In the lake and convloted lu the court of Justice Vlen , the defendants appealed to the district eourt. Tlioro the case was submitted be fore Judge Smith on an agreed statement of facts. The court discharged thu de fendants , holding that Lake Manawa was a boundary water and that the Intent of the law prohibiting seining lu general was to except boundary waters. County Attorney Kllpack called the at tention of Hon. G. E. Delavan , state fish and game warden , to the decision , asking him if ho wished the case taken upon on appeal so as to finally determine the status of Lake Manawa. Mr. Kllpack sug gested that the question ought to bo de termined ono way or the other , as prose cutions for seining might como up at any moment In the local courts. Warden Delavan submitted the matter to Attorney General Remley , who writes County Attorney Kllpack as follows : "The question submitted to mo Is the advisability of appealing from the decision of Judge Smith In the case of the state of Iowa against Price Gibson nnd F. M. Phil lips , convicted In a Justice court for the illegal seining of fish In Laka Manawa. The district court on an agreed statement of facts discharged the defendants on the ground that Lake Manawa was a part of the Missouri river and the law did not np- plj' to boundary waters of the state. It appears that the case was submitted on an ngreod statement of facts. Without such agreed statement of facts before mo I am unable to glvo an opinion as to thu pro priety of appealing the case. "It appears that what Is now Lake Man awa was at the time of the survey of 1'ot- tawattamio county a part of the Missouri river. By what means the lake was formed I do not know. Presume , however , that at some tlmo the water washed a channel across the narrow neck of land occasioned by the bend of the river. Whether It was done suddenly or under circumstances that would make the middle line of Lake Man awa the boundary line of the state I can not say. It is evident , however , that at the present time Lake. Manawa is not n part of tha MissDuri rlvor. The exception to tha general law prohibiting seining ap plies alone to the Mississippi , Missouri and Big Sioux rivers , and to so much of the Des Moines river as forms the boundary line between this state and Missouri. Lake Manawa not now being a port of the Mis sourl river the defendants did not bring themselves within the exception which made it lawful for them to seine in the Mis souri river. "Chapter 14 of the acts of the Twenty- seventh general assembly glvea to the courts of the counties bordering on the Missouri river Jurisdiction In civil and criminal actions or proceedings to the center of the main channel of the Missouri river , where the same la or may hereafter be. So , In dependent of the question whether the middle channel of Lake Manawa Is the boundary line between the states of Iowa and Nebraska , 1 am Inclined to think that the court has Juris diction of the offense , and that it erred in holding that Lake Manawa was a part of the Mlsbourl river. "Some yeara ago there was an act of con gress passed granting Lake Manawa to the city of Council Bluffs. I have not the ref erence to the act before me , and speak from recollection. While It may be doubted whether congress had any power to grant a lake wholly within the etato to the city of Council Bluffs , or any oilo else , jet It Is recognition of the fact by congress that It is in the state of Iowa , Nebraska has not as serted any claim to any part of Lake Manawa. The state of Iowa has exercised Jurisdiction over the lake , and possibly what ever may have been the original right of the state of Nebraska to a part of Lake Manawa and the lend lying between the lake and the Missouri river , it Is doubtful whether Nebraska could now assert any title because - cause of laches. But that question I do not pass upon. I feel well satisfied that the de fendants , admitting that they seined In Lake Manawa , did not bring themselves within the exception which permits seining in the Mis souri river. The people of Council Bluffs and the county of Pottawattamle are more Interested In thl matter than people of other parts of the state. "Unless there is something In the agreed statement of facts which precludes the adop tion of the views above suggested , if the county attorney or the people of the city are sufficiently Interested In the matter to take an appeal to the supreme court , I will cheerfully render any assistance that I cans but without more perfect knowledge of the facts I would not be able to Intelligently advise an appeal , " Lake Manawa IB still open to the public I Free admUsion to ttio Grand 1'Iuzu this 1 week.

In the case of women , sajs the New York Sun , the Jewelry burled with them is likely to bo confined to a plain gold ring , which In the case of a wlf would be her wedding ring. It might easily happen that this would bo the only ring worn at the time of death , other rings hav ing been taken from the fingers becauae the wearing of them might have been a source of discomfort to the wearer. On the other hand , it might happen that the rings coufd not bo easily removed. In such a case the rings would bo left on the fingers and burled with the body. The wedding ring is not alwaje burled. Sometimes the husband desires to keep it ; in eonio instances , if there tire children In the family , It Is given to the oldest grown-up daughter. Other rings burled with the dead would bo most commonly some plain bands valued as a gift or a keep- eako or for some dear association. Some times a diamond ring might be burled for a slmtllar reason , perhaps with the diamond turned Inward , showing only a plain band upon the finger as the hand lay across the body In the casket. But white such la the prevailing practice , with constantly increasing observance , It Is not Invariably followed. There have been cases In which the bodies of women have been burled with earrings and all the rings comcnonly worn In life , Including , perhaps , valuable damonds , relatives permitting nothing to bo taken away. Such cat.cs . are unusual and are becoming rarer. Substantially the same practice prevails with regard to the burilng of jewelry with the bodies of men , Watches and chains of value have been burled with the dead , but not often. Costly Jewelry baa been thus burled , but this Is seldom done ; commonly such Jewelry as may be burled In simple and comparatively inexpensive. There might bo left upon the finger some ring that had been Bpelally dear to tha dead and that he had wished to keep always , Besides the rings there might to burled various other articles of more or leas value , for which a speolar attachment had been formed or that the dead had requested should bo hurled with them Tin- Utter Iillot.

The present season at Atlantic seatldo ro- norts Is very satisfactory , reports the New York Sun. The main hotels nro crowded , the passenger earnings of railroads run ning to these resorts bmik any previous records , and from all accounts , August la as good a month as July , though heretofore July has been the favorite one nt the sea side and August In the mountains Various reasons are glvn for this condition of af fairs , some conclusive and nil of them plausible In the summer of 1893 the Chicago Talr attracted westward a considerable share of the traveling business of the country In 1S91 the financial affairs of the country were such that cconoms was enforced In many households to the extent of the aban donment of summer trips or tours This state of afla'rs was practically duplicated In IS S. 1S % nnd 1S97. but with the recurring v\avo of prosperity IS S would have been a favorable jear for seaside places but for the war scare , with Itn notions of the great damage to bo done In the line of destructive bombardment by the tlluslvo "Spanish fleets " The mining of the harbors of the east was also a tempo1 arv obstacle to trans portation This vrar none of tlir o condi tions operate to the disadvantage of seashore places on or near the Atlantic. These nlong the South Atlantic border are , of course , not gcncrallj populat In ml Isuninu'i. during which the general trend of tourist pnpula- tlon Is toward the New England or Middle Atlantic states Another reason for the noneral success of this season at the Atlantic resorts Is to bo found In the condition of the weather In the south and west , which has been umisuallly dry In some places to the extent of drought Tor this reason the popularity of Interior mimmt-r resorts suffered greatly , and the most profitable class of summer patrons sought out the Atlantic scaboird Still an other probable reason for this > oar's pios- perlty is the greatly Improved and much choapoped means of rommunlcitlon The extension of the electilc-trolley njstcm has put within oasv reach mnny summer J im ports to which prevously ihc means of travel were cltLer expensive or Imperfect Though tlm population of the counlij stead , lly increases vc.ir ifter ; iear and the num ber of summer tourists Increaets in even greater ratio , the Rtcam railroad communi cation with most punimer n sorts was not , up to this > cai , better than It was toner or even fifteen veats ago The extension of the trolley B > stem , however , las fur nished all the main roads with deslr.iblo "feeders" In lieu of wagons and carriages piovlously in tse , and with this change there has been another the extension of the system of steamboat connections , sotre of which have been { 'really set veil bj tin electric lines.
