time to think it over, but q reparsee
half an hour after the occasion for it
has passed is like blank cartridge.
1t is the readiness Of the retorG that

'Girls are built some like boys but
there amt one such good material in
'em though the polish is put on
thicker and they put on new coats
every day. They like to dress mic.

They don't throw ball or climb trees
nor stand on their heads, and are a
fraid to kill cats and things. They
don't smoke pipes nor cigar stubs.

Harry Hall Recaptured.

LINCOLN, Neb. Nov. 30.-Harry
Hall, the life prisoner who escaped
from the Nebraska penitentiary Janu-
airy 5, 1888, has been captured at Provo
City, Utah, by Warden Hopkins. Hall
had been closely Swallowed ever since,
but the authorities were never able to
put their hands on him previously. At
the time of the escape r. w. Hyers
was warden, and this led to trouble be-
tween him and Governor Thayer,
which resulted in his removal. Halls
parents live in st. Joseph, Mo-, and are

Jurisdiction Affirmed.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 3O.-Judge
Brewer yesterday gave in his decision
on the question as to whether the Texas
United States Court had jurisdiction
over No-Man's-Land. He decides that
the court in Texas has full jurisdiction
in that land and that it has power to
try all murder cases from that section.
The arrest of the Stevens County
murderers was not resisted, the fight
between them and the law being tech
meal case, involving the jurisdiction of
any court to try them. They will make
this same fight over in Paris, Tex,
which will probably sustain Judge
Brewers decision.
The Globe-republican., 1889-12-04
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Tho Topeka Meat Inspection Ordinanc
So Declared BY Judge Brewer.

Tho Topeka Meat Inspection Ordinance
So Declared BY Judge Brewer.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 3O.-Judge
Brewer yesterday decided that the To
peka meat inspection ordinance was
illegal.
The decision was given in test case
brought by Swift & Co., the Kansas
City packers, whose agent was arrested.
fined 500 and sentenced to imprisOn-
ment for thirty days, for selling car
load of dressed beef to Topeka markets
in violation of the inspection Ordi-
nance.
Judge Brewer delivered his opinion
orally, saying that while the ordinance
on the face of it declared it was EN-
acted for the purpose of providing pure
meat for the citizens of Topeka, it was
in reality made for no other purpose
than to prohibit the sale of Kansas
City dressed meat here. This, he said,
was clearly in violation of the commerce
clause of the Constitution of the United
States.
While he conceded the right of a city
to prevent the sale of impure meat to
citizens, it could not blockade COM
merce by requiring that all the meat
sold to its citizens must be slaughtered
within one mile of it's city limits, as
this ordinance provides. The city could
prosecute the Kansas City packers if
impure meat was sold, and it might re-
quire that all their meat be inspected
before entering the city, but it could
not refuse, as it had done in this case,
to allow the meat to be inspected and
thus bar it from the markets.
