made, and the physicians stated positively
that the wounds were made after death leav-

the plaintiff in error was required to pro

This is a plain requirement of the law

The massing of 10000 Russian soldiers

on the Odessa, and the conversion of the
graneries there into barracks, looks more
like an active war movement in the spring
than the cultivation of the staple crop of
that section wheat. The indications
clearly point to great military operations
in the spring with the great powers of the
East. France and Germany are both en-
lareipg their armies, Russia is one grand
military camp, Austria and Italy are close
" watching Russia's movements in the
Balkan, and Turkey is reinforcing her
army as best she can. Unless all signs
fail. the spring will open with the greatest
military preparations ever known in Eu-
rope, and yet they may be the means of
preventing an open outbreak, for time,
for when a nation knows it is going to en-
counter formidable power, well equipped
for war. great caution is observed in COM
mencing hostilities.
We understand that our former young
t,w.s,n.n, Dr.. w A. Picker. who re-
