The Circus.

The Cook 4 whitby shows are all right:
They drew large audiences both Tuesday
afternoon and evening and if they main.
tain the character of the show given here
it is question of but short time when
the name Of Cook & Whitby will be as
familiar a household word as Barnum,
Robinson or Forepaugh. Everything
connected with the show is first class,
and from the big parade in the morning
to the wind up of the concert in the
evening gave the best of satisfaction.
The menagerie was fine collection of
rare animals, and the arena portion Of
the entertainment was replete with
novelties from start to finish. Miss
Adele Purris on the slack wire, Alvido's
juggling, Sweeney, Ryder and Wurtz's
clowning, the horizontal bar perform.
ances, Goetze's magnificent military
band, the hippodrome races, Girard
Leon and his singing donkey and the
remarkably fine horses were only few
Of the many excellent features deserving
Of commendation. Genial and hustling
Press Representative Willis Cobb placed
the News HERALD under many obliga-
tions by the courtesies shown.
Local admirers Of refined arena enter.
tainments will be pleased to see the
same show at any time in the future.

Shell game rackets and sure thing
snaps were plentiful around the Cook &
whitby circus grounds on Tuesday, and
several people who had more money
than experience went against them to
the detriment of their financial circum-
stances. Ono old gentleman named Col.
vim, from near Prieetowa, was persuaded
to try his hand "just for fun" at manip-
uiating little game With marble, in
which all that was necessary was to
drop the marble in the slot and draw
out . flfty dollar bill. Mr.. Colvin proved
an expert st the game but didn't have
money to; back his skin. His wife had
fifty dollars over in the next tent, how.
ever, and the sharperswaithd until he got
It from her. Mr.. Oolvin's luck wasn't 60
good when he put up the flfty, however,
and he came up town TO complain to
the Marshal thst "those men told Him
ho would win or he wouldn't have
played" He ID still minuS hiS go!

A GERRYMANDER ANNULLED.
The Wisconsin Swindle Upset by the State
Supreme Court.

MADISON, Wis, March 22-The supreme
court has declared the assembly, senator
l3l and congressional appointments
made by the last legislature unconstitu-
tonaL The decision of the court was
unanimous. IT, held that the constitution
ordains that assembly districts shall be
bounded 10y county, precinct, town or
ward lines. Since no assembly district
ran lawfully be formed which includes
territory in two or more counties unless
the whole of such counties are Included
therein, so that the district Is bounded
entirely by county lines, Constitutionally
an assembly district cannot be formed
v hich includes within its limits fractions
Of two or more counties, or one county
and fraction OF an other county: for in
either case, the integrity of the county
lines would be violated and the county
dismembered
Chapter 4S2. laws of 1891. attempts to
thus dismember about twenty counties.
The constitution provides that the legisla-
tive districts shall be formed and members
of the two branches of the legislature ap-
portoned according to the number of in
habitantS. The county is the primary ter
rltorial unit in the formation of assembly
districts, and the memb bers of the assembly
must first be apportioned 10 the counties
Dr to single districts containing two or
more counties. The provision OF the con
stitutlon. as applied To the formation Of
assembly districts. means primarily that
there must be substantial equality of
representation in proportion to population
ss between all the different counties and
districts containing two or more couutes.
The apporiionment of the state into
assembly districts is an entire process To
greater or less extent eaen part
Of the apportionment act Is affected
10y and dependent upon every other
part thereof For this reason it is i'm
possible to eXpunge from chapter 4S2 the
portions thereof which violate the consti-
Jutional requirements and sustain the
balance OF the act a. valid law. Hence
The whole act is null and void, and coase-
quently II Is not a legal basis for the issue
and publication by tie secretary Of state OF
notices OF election of members OF the legis.
lature.
Section >, article J. prohibits the division
oi assembly districts in the formation OF
senatorial districts. Thus the assembly
district is constituted the territorial unit
OF the senatorial district Hence until the
assembly districts are formed no intelh-
gent superintendent OF the state into sens
torlai districts can be made The court
huus IN the constitution 10 Limitation
upon tie power Of The legislature TO num-
Der the senatorial districts as it sees fit.

Tie ruby was considered good for de
engagements Of the liver as well as for bad
eyes
The onyx could scarcely have been a nice
stone TO wear, for according to melieyal
superstition, il rendered one particularly
susceptible to annoyance from Nightmares
and demons.
Coral was made use of by the Romans
as Il protection against the evil eye, and
popular superstition has credited the
topaz with the power of depriying boiling
water of its heat.
The sapphire and emerald were credited
with properties which rendered them capa-
bic of influencing ophthalmic disorders,
and there is a superstitious belief that
Gerpents are blinded by looking at the lat
ter stone.
Temperance advocates. If they have any
regard for the beliefs of the Greeks and
Romans. might seriously consider the ad-
visibility of distributing amethysts among
drunkards. for it was supposed that these
stones prevented intoxication.
Most of our readers have no doubt heard
of the precious jewel which the toad car
ries in his brain box, ana so called toad
stones, which were in reality the teeth of
fossil fish, were formerly worn in finger
rings as protection against poisons.
Alth ough popularity supposed to be itself
Q deadly poison, the diamond has from re-
mote ages been credited with the power of
protecting the wearer from the evil effects
of other poiSons a reputation which it re-
tanned until comparatively recent times.
The opal was looked upon as thunder
stone, and although many women now ap-
pear to have strong superstitious preiu-
dice against wearing one, it was in bygone
days held in the highest estimation. for lC
was supposed to combine the virtues of
several other gems
The brain of the tortoise was supposed
to contain wonderful stone, which was
efficacious in extinguishing fire. and when
placed under the tongue would produce
prophetic inspiration. Another stone pos
sessing the latter property was to be found
in the eye of the hyena.
The head of cat, however, was thought
to contain what would undoubtedly have
been the most wonderful and most desira-
BILE treasure of all, could it have only had
a real instead of an imaginary existence,
for that man who was so fortunate as to
possess this precious stone would have all
his wishes granted.
The turquoise, although not credited
with either remedial or protective proper
ties so far as disease was concerned, was
nevertheless regarded as II kind of sympa-
thetic Indicator, the intensity O. its color
