In a few weeks she managed to communt-
rato with her sister, who lived near

that tho action of Scott wns taken without

Tho points contested by the attorneys
erc: Does tho law conform to the con
Ullutlon, and If not, Is what remains
mi lid, and Is n county court a court o
record? Tho law In part reads as follows
"When a boy or girl of sane mind, under
the ago of IS years, shall. In any court of
record In this state, bo -found guilty of
pny crime, eSieept murder or manslaughter,
committed .under (he; age of 18 years, or
who for want of proper parental care Is
growing up In mendicancy or vagrancy, or
Is Incorrigible, the court Bhall
causo an order to be entered that said boy
nr girl bo sent to the Stnte Industrial
school."
Tho constitutional provision Is as fol
lows: "The legislature may provide by law for
thn establishment of n school or schools
for the safo-kecping, education, employ
ment and reformation of all children under
'the age of IB years, who, for want of proper
parental caro or other cause, nro growing
up In mendicancy or crime."
It was contended by Miss Flowers' attor
neys that tho law wns void, bocauso It
raised the ago limit above tbat fixed by the
constitution. It was answered by tho other
sldo that, even If It did, this did not render
the remainder of the law void.

Judges Sullivan and Holcomb agreo with
the. latlcr contention, while Judge Norval
tlocs not. In the opinion of the former, ho
holds that If, after striking out tbo un
constitutional part of n stntuto tbo residue
Is Intelligible, complete and capable of
execution It will bo upheld nnd enforced
except In cases where It Is apparent that
tho rojected part was an Inducement to
thn adoption of tho remainder. Judgo

to Interwoven with tho remalndor of the
hectloii, that if stricken out or rejected tho
section will bo uncnforclblc. Dcsldcs, ho
inclines to tho opinion that this was tho
Inducement for the passage of tho act.
Tho court holds, too, that a county court

what capacity the Judgo acts, nnd never a

I.hvt nf MnrrlniK.
In tho case of Hov. Rowland Hills, tho
bigamist whose conviction was yesterday
ntllrmod, tho court lays down some lm
porlunt law affecting the marriage con
tract. In the syllabus It says:
A wife Is n competent witness against
her husband In a prosecution for bigamy.
"A marriage! legal where solemnized Is
VHlId everywhere. A communication to a
minister of the gospel or priest Is not.
privileged where It Is shown that It wus
roado In confidence of the relation or was
not to be kept as n secret.
"A marriage solemnized In good faith Is

Four other criminal cases were passod
upon, three being afllrmed and ono re
versed. O. G. Schofleld, a magnetic bealor, con
victed In Custer county, must pay the fine
atsesed against hlra for violation of the
law which prohibits tho practice of medi
cine without n permit from tho Stato Iloarrt
of Health. His defence was purely techni
cal. Daniel J. Trimble, convicted In Mer
rick county of highway robbery, will
p.ervo the threo years the lower court
dcomtd his due. Tho principal point of
contention was that tho county attorney
had no light to perform tho duties of pros
editing attorney, hut tho court dismisses
this as unsound.

WASHINGTON, April U. The salt Indus
try of the country received the attention of
the Industrial committee today, Archibald
S. White, president of the National S.ilt
company, being the witness.
He said that the annual consumption of
alt In the United States amounts to about
13.000.000 barrels, of which tho Notional
company supplied last year Dctwc.n
S.000.000 and t',000,000 barren. He said lib
organization hnd taken In thirty-six plantt.
of which six hnd been closed. He also
stnted that tho object of effecting the con
centration had been economical. I'rcvluus
to tho combination tho competition was so
sharp thnt there was no profit In I ho busi
ness and much Inferior salt wns made. In
Michigan, for Instance, salt was sold for :s
cents n barrel, tho barrels alone costing SO
cents. One great saving, he said, had been
effected In supplying salt to the districts In
which It 1? made. As n rule, he said, the
men previously employed had been ic
tallied In the plants, but occasionally It be
came necessary to let out somo employes.
Probably SO tier cent of tho salesmen had
been dispensed with as such. There also
was n saving of commissions to dcnlcrs.
Would Cut tint .MltldlcmiMi.
"We try to get ns near the consumer ns
possible," he said. "Wo would hand out
the bags to Individuals If wo could arrango
to do bo. Wo should like to cut out all
middlemen."
In the company's business Mr. White said
that tho country Is divided Into districts,
tho head of each district being required to
make a dally report. Tho effect of tho con
solidation, hn said, had been tn advance
wages to the extent of SO to .10 per cent. He
considered a monopoly Imposilblo In any
Industry except In cases In which It Is pro
tected hy tho stato through patent rights or
otherwise.
LaBt year the net earnings of the Na
tional Salt company had been Jl,261,5ii!l nnd
tho company bad paid a 7 per cent dividend
upon preferred nnd C per cent upon common
stock.

Mr. Elvcrton R. Chapman, a New York
banker, who has been largely In recent
years In financing companies, was a witness
this afternoon before tho Industrial com
mission. Among tho companies ho has finan
ciered Is tho American Smelting nnd Refining
company. Mr. Chapman said this company
Issued $27,500,000 preferred nnd tho same
nmount of common stock, tho vendor com
panies receiving cash or preferred stock at
par nnd 70 per cent of tho common stock,
the remaining 30 per cent going to pay tho
expenses ot tho negotiations Incidental to
tho organization. The preferred stock rep
resented tho actual value of tho properties
secured, and tho common stock tho good
will. Tho working capital of tho consolidation
which had been subscribed nnd paid In was
$6,600,000. Tho consolidation bad been ef
fected to reduco expenses and eliminate
competition. It was calculated, he said,
that over $5,000,000 would be saved an
nually on freight charges alone.

After each bottle of Schlitz beer is filled and sealed
it is sterilized.
This is an extreme precaution. The beer is brewed
in extreme cleanliness, cooled in filtered air, then
filtered. It seems impossible for a taint of impurity to
pet to it. Vet we sterilize every bottle.
We, who know brewing, know the value of purity.
We add vastly to the necessary cost of our beer to
