Miss KGHe'S Case

The female lawyer, Miss Kane, of Mil
waukee, has been remanded to Jail for
ninety days unless she pays the fine of $50
imposed for dashing goblet of water into
the Judges face while he was on the
bench.
Soon after her incarceration CORES
roDdont had a chat with her. She said: 81
viii never pay The fine; 1 will stay here till
doom sdey first. 1t is not the mere dashing
III 4 glass of water that has caused all this.
Judge Mallory has insulted me repeatedly

and few guittersnipes lowering on the
outskirts of a legal profession, and who
have been necessary to Judge Mallory in
his campaign work, to drive me out of the
legal profession. 1 do not intend to be
driven out. I do not care q snap of my
finger for public opinion. 1 have been
bounded and prosecuted continually since
1 have been here and have never injured a
person." 1t is now the general belief that
Miss Kane will serve out her sentence. A
few minutes later she requested the pres
ence of John j. Orion, one of her counsel,
and he was sent for. She takes her second
arrest very cody, and expresses confidence
in ultimate triumph. Her lawyers will
at o4ce appeal her case to the Supreme
Court.

masterpiece of injustice, inequality and
false pretense. It yields dwindling, not
yearly rising revenue. 1t has impover-
ished many industries to subsidize few.
It prohibits imports that might purchase
the products of American labor. 1t has
degraded American commerce from the
first to an inferior rank on the high seas.
It has cut down the sales of American
manufactures at home and abroad and de
pIeted the returns of American agricul-
ture-an industry followed by half our
people. 1t costs the people five times
more than it produces to the Treasury, OBJ
structs the processes of production and
wastes the fruits of labor. 1t promotes
fraud, fosters smuggling, enriches dishon-
est officials and bankrupts honest mer-
chants. We demand that all custom house
taxation shall be only for revenue.
1880.
In the Democratic platform of 1880 the
old doctrine was tersely reproclaimed:
Home Rule; honest money consisting of
gold, silver and paper convertible on de-
mand: the strict maintenance of the pub
lie faith, State and national, and a tariff
for revenue only.

A New Cause of Disease.

DR.. Rudolf Emmerich, of the Hygien-
&C Institute of the University of Leipsic,
has published the results of an elabor-
ate investigation into the impurities
contained in the materials used for fill
ing between floors in dwelling houses,
and their relation to what he calls the
octogenous infective diseases-corres-
ponding nearly to what we call the
zymotic diseases. In Germany almost
all houses have the floors counterceiled
and filled with earth, ashes and other
materials of various kinds, in part to
secure warmth, and in part to deaden
sound, The material used for this fill
ing often contains organic matter, to
which it receives accessions by leakage
through the floor when the room is
scrubbed. The fact that in many build
ings in process of erection the filing
material contained a large amount of
organic matter Of q character suited to
furnish nutriment to minute organisms
and fungi, some Of it being heterogeneous,
and evidently derived from animal ex-
creta. He compares the condition of a
house thus constructed to one having q
number Of human bodies buried be-
tween its floors.
As the result of examination of ma
tcrials taken from beneath the floors of
old houses, he concludes that in the
vicinity of human habitations no ground
can be found So strongly saturated
with heterogeneous organic matter, and
the products of its decomposition; as
the earth used for filing between floors
in dwelling houses.
Elaborate tables are given of the re-
suits contained in various analyses,
showing that for house which has
been inhabited the filling of the lower
and upper floors is almost impure, while
the central ones are less so. His con-
clusion is that in order to prevent dis
ease we must look nearer home than we
have been in the habit of doing, and
that in the words of the Indian proverb,
1t is useless to dig wells when the fire
begins to burst from the house."

large Fossil Bones and Petrified Logs.

A gentleman who is exploring the
wilds of Montana and Idaho, writes that
sot far from Clusters battle-ground, on
ale Little Horn river, is place where
are to be found regular drifts of petri-
led wood and bones of extinct animals.
There are to be seen great numbers of
petrifed logs, with one end buried in
the side of the bluff, and the other pro-
truding out and breaking off in blocks.
He says: "Some of these are three feet
in diameter, with each years growth
plainly visible in the grain. In the
same bluff are tusks of the Megatherium
as large around as mans body, which
are likewise imbedded at one end, break
ing off into blocks OF the other. The
porous inside under the enameled sur
face is unmistakable proof that they are
bones. Both the trees and tusks are as
black as coal at the exposed ends, but
gray in color where covered by the hill -

London Daily News.

The Princess of Wales has of late been
wearing hussar jacket of dark cloth,
heavily braided down the fronts, on the
collar, sleeves, and basque. This an
nouncement may serve to set at rest the
disquietude of those who are anxious to
know ''what will be worn," and who may
now breathe sigh of relief as ending
their doubts. That the lady whose tastes
are as perfect as her position is exalted has
given in her adhesion to braiding as orna-
ment, and to the military style in cut, is
enough.

To the Honorable Board of Education:
The Finance Committee beg leave to re-
port, that as soon as the bids were made
known for the city bonds they telegraphed
Kountz Bros, offering the $4,000 High
School bonds at the same price. They re-
piled asking some questions about the
bonds which were referred to Mr.. Roche
whose answer was transmitted to them.
Some delay then occurred, and the next we
heard was that the bonds had been bought
by Kountz Bros, at par. Upon inquiry
we learned that Mr.. Roche had offered
them at par on his own responsibility and
that his offer had been accepted by them.
As we had depended upon them for the
highest bid, on account of their having the
city bonds, we thought it best to sanction
the action of the comptroller though we
consider his course unjustifable and feel
that we could have done better with the
bonds if they had been left entirely with
