alton in the Legislature
TOPEKA, KAN, Jan. 3.--The supreme
court to-day heard the argument in the
cases brought against the state board OF
canvassers by the populist state central
committee involving four seats in the legis-
lature. An array of legal talent is engaged
in the cases. Among the lawyers are ex-
Congressman Peters and Judge Frank
Doster. It is not generally anticipated that
the findings of the court will change the
the situation in the legielature except
to give Rosenthal, (dsmoorat) from Haskell
county the certificate Of election issued to
Stubbs (republican)by an undisputed clerical
error. This will leave the republicans one
majority with which 20 organize the House.
On joint ballot the democrats will hold the
balance Of power, providing no action is
taken by the supreme court in the contested
election cases brought before that court.
Twenty-four contests have been fiisd against
the republicans and seven against the popu-
lists. The legislature meets next week.

calf will not nurse. and the mixer says
she can milk a little bloody stuff out OF
the cows bag every day or two. Now II
you can give any remedy please do so
and oblige a subscriber. X. l.. q.
It is probably a case OF mammitis.
Treatment should be prompt and ener-
getic as the longer the case is neglected
the more difficult it becomes TO effect
cure. A purgative should be given say
Epson salts, common salt, three-fourth
pounds of each; powdered ginger, two
drachms; warm water, one quart. Mix
and give as a drench.
A suspensory bandage should be used
to support the weight OF the gland. The
bandage having been placed In position.
a quantity OF bran or hops may be placed
I'm IL and around the udder and kept con-
stanuy moist by pouring upon 1t hot
water. Care should be taken not to
scald the patient. Milk should be drawn
off at short intervals. Should the gland
continue to be hard and painful, apply the
following: Mercurial ointment. soap, Of
each one-half pound; solid extract of bel
ladonna, one-fourth pound.
Mix and apply twice a day.

Marrying a Brothers widow.

To the Editor or the Dlspatch'
Is II n frequent thing in Virginia for n
man 20 marry his brothers widow?
W. r. T.
No. Il is not a frequent thing. Prior to
1s49 the intermarriage OF a man with his
brothers widow or with his deceased
yife's sister, was an offence punishable
by a fine imposed by jury, and the Cir
cult Superior Court, before whom 1t was
only cognizable. was required to declare
the marriage null and void, and the cout
charged the grand jures as to the provt
slons Of this law and the offenders could
be proceeded against. separated and pun
ished, although the marriage may have
been solemnized outside OF the Common
wealth.
The present law proceeds on the Mosaic
law cited in Matthew % a.
but such marriages are still against
public opinion. On the contrary
the law allowing the marriage of a man
with his deceased wifes sister is common.
We have heard that but for remark
able speech Of the late General William II.
Gordon, of Albemarle. in the House OF
Delegates a man would have been allowed
TO marry his deceased wife's sister long
before the law was changed.
