friendship is illustrated not only by their
private treatment, but by the laws
which they put upon their statute books.
Texas, for instance, has Just flung back
contemptuously into the faces OF Con-
gress, the Cons::: ttiolial Amendment.
The Legislature also ordered the removal
of the remains of Union soldiers from
State cemetery. As they could not suffer
the sacred resting place of their dead to

psT" An Enoch Arden case has occur
red at Des Noines. The State Registo
of the Goth ult., tells the story thus:
1t seems that man named Barleen,
from the eastern part of the State, went
to the war five years since. His wife

ond husband perceived that the priol
claim was valid ore, and wisely con
cluded not to contesti it, and the matter
was amicably adjusted, the wife start
ing off on the first train yesterday
morning with husband number one
Mr. Burns wishes it distinctly under
stood that when Mr.. Barleen made
known his claim, tie room and the wifi
were given up to him.
