The Attorney General Says Plaintiff Has
No Case.
MADISON, Wis, Aug. 19.-Attorney-
General O'Connor has refused to bring
suit to test the validity of the last ap-
portionment act in his own name.
The ten days which the court granted
Mr.. O'Connor to decide the matter ex-
pired to-day and O'Connor filed tie fol-
lowing with the clerk of the supreme
court:
10 THE HONORABLE THE SUPREME
COURT OF THE STATE OF WISCONSIN:
The consideration [ have been able to give
the petition OF Charles f. Lamb to bring
action IN the supreme court to test the va
ldlty OF the appOrtiOnment act passed at
the special session OF the Legislature has
LED me to the conclusion that said act cam
unc0nstitutionallty. Moreover, If L re-
garded the doubt of the con-
stitutionality Of the law as suf
hclentiy serious to justify an action,
there are other important public reasons
why, in my Judgment the action should
not be instituted ut this time, and which
are sufficient TO require me to decline. L
therefore deem 1t my duty to decline to
commence said suit III this court to test the
validity OF the appOrtiOnment act passed at
the special session OF the legislature, upon
the relation of Charles f. Lamb as petl-
toner or otherwise, and must refnSe my
consent to have such suit brought or con-
Quoted i'll then of my Office as attorney
general. j. l.. O'CONNOR, Atty.-Gen.
The complaint will be served on the
secretary Of state Immediately, and an
effort will be made to get
the case on the supreme court
calendal when that tribunal meets
August 30. 1t cannot be argued in the
first assignment of cases August 80, but
it can, with the consent Of the court, be
called for argument on the second as
signment, the last week In Septem Der,
which would bring a decision early in
October.
II the act be declared unconstitution-
al this would leave but short time for
special session to be called and new
law made, but the court would, without
doubt, suggest a course Of action to be
pushed.
&. +. Lamb, the petitioner, says the
case will be presented as promptly and
vigorously as possible and that the COM
plant will be served soon. The court
at It's last sitting, said that the secretary
OF state would have twenty days after
service in which TO answer.

Frightful Ravages of the Cholera in
Teheran, Persia,


Teheran, Persia,
TEHERAN Aug. 22.-Cholera continues
to claim a fearfully large number OF
victims in this city. Sanitary regula-
tons are almost unknown here and the
fatalistic tendencies of the people make
it almost impossible to combat the dis
ease. It is not known exactly how
many persons have died from
cholera since it first made its
appearance here short time ago, but
it's fatal effect can be immagined when
it is stated that 800 persons died yester-
day. The city is estimated to have a
population of lac, 900, but it is SO un-
healthy IN the summer that the Shah,
his court and the upper classes invari-
ably leave it during that season and en-
camp on The plains Of Sultanee Yah,
north of Teheran.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 22.-The official
cholera report issued this morning
shows an increase Yesterday of 3S1 new
cases and an increase of 236 deaths as
compared with Saturdays figures. The
total number OF new cases ported yes

LONDON, Aug. 22.-Considerable anx-
iety prevails in religious circles because
of the work that IS being carried on here
by Mormon missionaries. They have
been especially active in North on
don, and 1t is said have gained
quite number of converts to their
faith. A petition was recently pre-
sented to the London County Coun-
Gil asking 1t to stop the Mormon
propaganda, which is carried on princi-
pally through open air meetings. The
council considered the petition and fin
ally refused to stop the outdoor meet
ings. A Baptist minister in the HOrnsey
District, in denOuncing the perversions
OF his flock, stated that Brigham \ Dung,
Jr., who is an European apostle of the
Mormon Church, sends $40 converts to
Utah annually. The greater part OF

TWO HUNDRED SUNSTRUCK,
Why the Austrian Emperor Postponed
the Army ManRvers.


the Army Manevers.
VIENNA, Aug 22.-The action of the
Emperor in postponing the proposed
manevers, was due to the reports
that have been received from Caro-
lima, where mannvers have been held
notwithstanding the extremely hot
weather. The soldiers we're in heavy
marching order and were compelled to
take the field in the broiling sun and
march and counter-march, charge and
re-charge with all their accoutrements.
The result was that 200 of them were
sunstruck. These were all placed in
the care Of the physicians in charge of
the field hospitals, and 1t speaks we'll
for their service that only IL men out
of 200 died. But there is a feeling of
Indignation that the military authorities
should have forced the men to man
oeuver in such weather.

He Is Wanted for His Old Trick
of Horse Stealing.
Henry Truedell is wanted by the po-
lice again. The inspectors want him
for stealing horse and buggy from
Herbert Hosford, the liveryman at Ia
rwenty-siXth street east. Truedell was
arrested about year and half ago for
stealing a horse ana buggy from
Thompson Bros. S13 Thirteenth avenue
south. He was tried and sentenced to
serve six months in the prison at Still
water. The information which led
up to his arrest was furnished by
Truedell's mother-in-law and at the
time the case created quite a stir. 1t
appears that the six months passed be-
hind prison walls did not cure Truedell
of the habit of going away with other
peoples equines, for about week ago
he hired rig from Hosford and never
returned with it.
Hosford did not know Truedell and
allowed HIM to have the rig without
asking any questions. When it was not
returned he reported the case to the
police. The inspectors have hunted
high and low for the horse thief, but
cannot find even a clue to his where
abouts OF where the rig was taken to.

Modern WRITER'S" said Mr.. Sim
mons, particularly Renan. have crltl-
ciSed Amos as being deficient in his
philosophy and knowledge OF political
economy. 1t is asserted that the lux

in the distribution of wealth. If lady

of the waltz, in single night lace
dress which it takes thousands Of hours
of labor, at vast expense OF
nerves and eyes, to make. labor
is benefited thereby, because an
other one must be made for
the fashionable lady. The argument
seems plausible to many. But GOES
waste create wealth? Is destruction OF
wealth the way TO make wealth? Lux
ury and waste may aid in the distribu-
ton of wealth, and may be necessary
under certain social systems. Ger
tainly, should the rich suddenly cease
their extravaganza. and go to work the
poor would be driven to desperation. 1t
is true that the desire for wealth has
done good, and some have asserted
that it has done more good
than the desire for knowledge.
This desire for wealth has created
trade, and thus aided the evolution and
diffusion OF knowledge. But wealth
can be batter distributed by check than
by waste. The making of a hundred
dresses for those who really need them
would be more righteous employment
for labor than the making of the one
dress. their equivalent, for the rich ana
fashionable lady. The old Hebrew
prophet may have been about right

shaving house belonging to the planning
mill, aid it was but few moments
before the sash and door factory was

caught fire, and in short time all the
buildings were rendered useless. The

fairly we'll attended, while the house
was crowded IN the evening. The play
has undergone some changes for the
better, and number of new specialties
have been added. Miss Marguerite
Ferguson Is without doubt the star
contortion dancer of the stage.
Her other specialtieS are equal to any,
while little George Ferguson, her
brother, dances like veteran. Their
father, and also the father of the play,
is as much of a farce-comedian as ever,
although he omits that wondrously
funny knock-about act that he ana
Mack used to do. The singing of the
company is up to the standard
of farce-comedy productions. The
audience is favored with operatic
selections, topical songs, and yes
terday an attempt was made to
sing an adaptation of 'sta-ra-ra-ra-boom-
de-ay," by four young ladies of the com
pany, which was resented by the au-
dience, and they were numerically
guyed. This song will probably be
omitted the rest of the week.

so absorbed in the pastime of

was over Miss Ames returned to the
school room and to her desk. She cast
her eye about the school room TO see
that no one OF the tow heads had forgot
ten to return at the sound of the mystic
bell. Then she cast her eye upon the
desk where she had left her pocketbook
containing her little fortune.
Horrible horrors! The pocketbook
was not there. 1t had disappeared,
whittier she knew not. Miss Ames is a
the pocketbook could not have taken to
itself wings and flown away. 1t had
been removed by mortal hands, and the
chances were that the mortal hands
were attached to the body of some one
of the tow heads in the school. She in
quired of the little folks if they had
seen the pocketbOok. There was
breathleSs silence when the question
was asked, but of course no one had
seen the missing treasure. The princi-
pal was notified, and the principal,
being a lady of rare sagacity, knew what
to do at once. She ordered all official
investigation and search.
A searching committee was formed,
and, with stern faces, the teachers who
were members of it proceeded with the
grand search. Every freckled-faced
youth in the room was subjected to the
search. No matter whether the teacher
tickled him or not while she was inSin-

he had to squirm and bear it. The
money could not be found, and the in
vestigating committee and Miss Ames
were in despair. Finally a little
fellow with red hair and eyebrows
and winkers to match exclaimed hike
George Washington that he could not
tell lie. He knew who the youthful
robber was, and told the name before
that frightened school. The thief was
the son of Hennepin avenue saloon
keeper. The name OF the little fellow
will not be given, for his father is not
responsible for the conduct of his de-
generate young son.
1t is understood the young fellow was
spanked. If he was not the inveStlgat-
ing committee did not do its duty. The
money was given back to Miss Ames.
and the army of young school children
breathed freely once more.
