OF Interest to Cattlemen.

REGARDING TEXAS CATTLE.
The Supreme Court of the United States to-
day rendered an opinion of considerable i'm
portance to cattlemen Of the west in the case of
P. G. Kimmisby, plaintiff in error, against John
J. Ball and Henry Trienken. The case in
wolves the constitutionality of a statute of
Iowa, making a person having in his pos
session within the state any Texas cattle,
which have not been wintered north of the
southern boundary of Missouri and Kansas,
liable for any damages that may accrue
from allowing them, to run :. at
Texas fever. The two judges in the circuit
court of the United States for the
southern district of Iowa were divided
In opinion, and the case was sent here
for final decision with the record, showing
that the case had been decided against the
plaintiff on the ground that the Iowa statute
merce and in violation Of the constitutional
provision giving citizens of the several
states all the privileges and immunities of cit
liens OF any state. The Supreme Court
holds that the Iowa statute is not
in conflict with the paramount authority Of
Congress to regulate interstate commerce. It is
unable to see that the statute has anything to
do with such commerce. The case, it says, is
not one of restriction of commerce, but
simply a requirement that whoever
permits diseased cattle to run at large
shall be liable for any damages occasioned
est doubt of the right of state to enact such
statute 1t further holds that as citizens of Iowa
are liable under the statute the same as citi-
zens of other states, there is no force in the
objection that the law is contrary to the clause
OF the Constitution granting equal rights in
the several states to all citizens Of the United
States.

thought that they picked up an old
knife or piece of iron Of some sort. The knife
blade or iron was hacked so as to make saw OF
it, which was used in cutting one of the iron
bars. How long they have been cutting at the
bar is not known, but it no doubt required
some time to complete the job. Having thus

this they succeeded. After being lowered to
the yard they vaulted the high board fence and
left for parts unknown. 'Jo-Jo" and several
other prisoners who were in the cell were too
old to risk the escape and probably would not
have tried to escape because they may have no
other home. No alarm was given by

upon the case, he says: beginning with March

failed TO do 50, however, until late in Novem-
Der; The water bin for the six months,
aging for the whole period the readings taken
during the i've or six weeks the water passed
through this meter. The company now desires
to take advantage OF its own neglect by asking
Q large reduction of the bill because the nights
were shorter during the first quarter under
consideration, and that, therefore, the rate Of
consumption of water was presumably less than
during the last three months of the year. 80 .
Taking all the known facts into consideration,
recommend that the bill, as rendered for the
first quarter, be reduced by 20 per cent This
Recommendation is based upon knowledge of
the fact that the company's business has ex-
tended since July 1, and that, presumably, the
actual consumption Of water was less for the
third than during the subsequent quarters.
That an exact basis for payment does not exist
is entirely the fault of the company whose bill
would probably have been materially less, even
than the one now rendered if they had
promptly set meter as required by law and
the regulations Of the water division" The
Commissioners have approved the recommeu-
dalton.

MIR. ALLISON'S HESITATION.


The question Of Mr.. Allison's going into the
cabinet depends merely upon whether or not
he will consider his own interests or those Of
Mr.. Harrison's administration first.
1t is thought that his patriot
ism will outweigh his personal
desires and that he will be compelled to accept
the Treasury portfolio. This will be q great
personal sacrifice for him, and his acceptance
will be most reluctant. His close friends adj
wise against it. 1t is known that he would
avoid the position if possible, but it is regarded
as certain that he will yield to pressure.
Blaine, Allison and Wanamaker are now re-
garded as certain to 60 into the cabinet.
