The old question about section lines
being public highways is again re.
vived as we observe by an. exchange
that Attorney General Nickens has
written an opsnion on it. the At
torney General holds that all section
lines are public highways, as a law
passed by congress in 1866 sets aside
SO feet on each side Of all section
lines. There is also a territorial law
to the same effect.

Died..

Mrs. Victor Carson, on the 9TH day OF
April, 1889. in Dodge City, Kansas.
About ten years ago she left Illinois to
make this city her home; little dreaming
that in few brief years she would be
taken back to the scenes of her girlhOod
an Illuminated being. A cherished hope
fondly nurtured was that she, with
her four little household gods, might
visit father and mother Cruel fate has
ordained otherwise. The home which
but few days ago was made ever joy
Gus. is now draped in mourning. The
happy greeting extended to husband af
ter the day labors were over. can now
live alone in his memory. Truly may it
be said that she was upright, charitable
and loving, and may He who tempers
the winds so order it that the bereaved
husband and little ones will be made to
rejoice upon the advent of a happy re-
union, and may he exclaim in the Ian
guage of the poet:
asleep on, my love, in thy cold bed,
Never to be disqueted.
My last good night thou wilt not wake
Till thy fate shall Overtake.'
