In the late granger case sent up TO the
Supreme court by the United States
Judges Harlan, Drunmond and Blodgett,
the court held that constitutional ques-
ton might be raised under law esiab-
fishing freight rates, in view Of n clause
IN the original charter of one of the con-
stituents of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy company giving the corporation
1.-THE right" TO regulate "the rate of toll
on the transportation of property" The
company seeks to have this construed as

is not at all likely that the supreme
court will indorse such construction OF
the law, for IL was clearly in conflict with
several decisions of that court.

AL,vely Milwaukee sensation.

Milwaukee Special: A sensation in rail.
road circles csrle to light on the Goth, the
particulars of which are unusually peculiar
and sad. A hitherto trusted official of the
Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western road,
who has held the position OF local freight
agent Of the road since the organization of
the company, has n mysteriously miss
ing since Sundar Iaorning. The affair
leaked out on tn. 10Th although an effort
was made 10 hush the matter up, in order
To prevent the publication OF the facts. All
sorts OF rumors were aioat ~ to the causes
leading to tee disappearance, one to the ef-
feet that Graham was short in his accounts
to large amount. and Others to the effect
that his brain had become affected from
drink. be having lately drank heavily, ow-

The stage was bright, the plaudi;s rang.
The play was nearly DER;
With happy voice the player sang
Love Is for evermorel"
''She never sang or looked 80 fair,
The people whispered low;
But the real tale Of the woman there
Nobody cared t. know.
The circus crowd was gay and glad,
And loud the whirling ring,
Huzxal the rider rode like mad,
As jocund as king.
Huzza to watch HIM laugh and leap,
They cheered him high and low;
But the tears that lay in his bosom deep
Nobody cared to know.
And we all are players Of our day,
On the stage of life we fare,
Each with his little part to play,
Each with his mask to wear,
And what is real 'tis vain To ask,
And what Is only show:
For what lies hidden beneath the mask
Only ourselves may know.

Brigham Young Jr., is of the opinion
that Mormon missionaries W i'll send 20.-
GOO converts to the nest this year. The
old axiom that "the blood of the mar
tyrs is the seed of the church" is veri-
fled again. Had Mormonism been let
alone severely it would have died out
ere tins, but another course was pur-
sued and it has become an established
institution of the land.

Some of the big daily papers devote
pages to the failure of one Peter Nc
Geoch, the great Milwaukee and Chicago
operator of corners, as if his downfall
was great public calamity, when in re-
ality it was only the sensation of day.
The market regained its accustomed
eQuanimity in twenty-four hours and Nc
Geoch passed out of mind. The doings
of spectators and gamblers occupy quite
too large space in the public mind. and
1t is time they were regulated to the OBJ
scurity from which they emerged. But
it is anything for sensation with a
certain class of journalists, and fiction is
quite as good as fact, if producing the de-
sired result.

mission to the medical profession has
been admitted by the medical societies
Of seventeen states, among which New
York is one; but most Of the Southern
states, like Massachusetts, have extend
ed no such recognition to female practi-
TONERS. But nearly 600 Massachusetts
doctors have indicated their willingness
to consent with women doctors, and it
is evident that the time is near at hand
when the medical society will give wo-
men doctors official recognition-or such
of them as practice in the same school
of medicine.

The lakeside resorts of the Northwest
are not yet crowded with visitors, owing
to the continuance of cool weather, but
there is time enough yet for the usual
season Of healthful recreation. 1t is a
mistake to suppose that extremely
hot weather is most conducive to lake
side comfort of these in search of health.
1t is the change Of air that operates
most benefcialy in majority of cases.
Denizens of the prairies or the large
towns find lake breezes exceedingly
grateful and healing to the lungs, rs well
as promoting general health.

continental were the stocks largely affected, but
the rest OF the list showed slight decline; from

Another operator predicted that Pacific common

would rebound With rush to the old figures
These predictions however, like every thing con-
nected with the stock market, are largely charac-

Mr.. E. p Howell, owner and editor OF the Az.
