sensational Decision of the Nebraska
supreme Court.


supreme Court.
OMAHA. Jan. 6 The supreme court
has handed down an opinion declaring
constitutional law passed by the last
legislature requiring the state treasurer
to deposit state funds in approved
banks, the interest TO be turned into
the treasury. The decision is very inn
pottant as it gives the state about $50.
600 interest money yearly, which has
heretofore gone into the pockets of the
treasurer. The court also passed upon
the question of the bringing of suit
against eX-Treaslrer Hill to recover
S25S, 0O5 state money lost in the Capital
National bank wreck. The point at is
sue was in which county the suit should
be brought. but incidentally passes on
the question of who is responsible for.
the money, the eX-treasurer. who de-
posted 1t. the present treasurer, who
accepted from his predecessor the GER
titicates of deposit, or the state, whose
official approved the banks bond as a
state depository, which by law relieves
the treasurer from liability. The court
decides that when the eX- treasurer took
the money out of his vaults he con-
verted it to his own use. and was guilty
of endorsement. no matter what he did
with it. The decision created a sensa-
ton. as it practically impeaches every
state treasurer, including the present
one.

Crazy on the Subject of Dress.

A paper published In London gives
n strange account Of the Duchess Of
Somerset, whose personal property, it
says, was sold at auction a few days
ago. 1t seems the poor lady had a
mania for clothes. She had at the time
Of her death nOt only 1000 pairs Of
gloves, but GOO pass Of silk stockings,
500 lace handkerchiefs, and all sorts
of dresses, many Of them Of the fashion
OF forty years ago. She had been con-
fined to her W house for nearly thir-
ty years, yet she regularly ordered
her elegant cOur dresses with each
change OF season, precisely as she
would have done had she been in
society, as she used to be. Moreover,
she used often to dress herself In her
elegant tinery and parade up and down
her room as though she were at a
reception. The writer of this article
does not appear to consider her insane,
only eccentric. If the story be true
one capnot help wondering whether the
poor woman. when she had youth and
health, gave herself so utterly to the
love Of dress and display that she could
not fill her thoughts with any other
subject.-The Pansy.

that we may rely upon. the proportion
of loss to the total forces engaged rose

as destructive to human life, and Fred

Of the revolutionary armies, losses were
at first diminished, but at Aspern the
Austrians left nearly % per cent OF

prived the Russians Of SO per cent and
