Unconstitutional.

The attorney general has decided
that it is unconstitutional for public
schools in this state to be opened with
prayer or reading of scriptures. The
matter was laid before him several
days ago by the state superintendent
of public instruction, to whom letter
of inquiry had been written by teach
er in q country district, who had been
accustomed to having the children re-
peat the Lords prayer each morning.
and to which proceeding one of the pa
rents objected. The superintendent
was asked to decide. This he has now
done, through the attorney general. 1t
seems that this custom is somewhat
common in country districts in the
state. and in some of the larger towns
also, and the opinion, therefore, will
be of considerable interest.

A STATEMENT published by the
French government shows the railroad
mileage in each country in Europe at
the close of last year and the increase
during the twelve months. The total
was 152,2O9 miles, and the gnin 4,212
miles. The greatest increase was in
Russia, where 1,2l2 miles were added
in 1894, mostly on it's trans-Siberian
line. 1t may be observed that 1894
was the first one OF many years in
which the railroad building in the
United States did not much exceedsthe
aggregate of construction in all other
countries, while last year the differ
ence was wide in the other direction.

pended from tree by q rope. The
body was resting on stump, and it
was at once appal ent that it was
case of suicide, and the body had been
there for long time.
On the bodysiwas found q portion OF
the Chicago Saturday Blade, dated
Aug. Is. 1894. 1t was soaked with
water and torn, but on the top of the
front page in lead pencil were the
words: MY name is William Caffrey,
MI Pleasant" or at least that is what
the words appeared to be. They were
almost iillegible The body must
have been hanging there since July or
August. for the flesh had all disap-
peared. and there was nothing but
bones left. The wolves, also, seem to
have made q feast Of the body, and it
was left in horrible state There
was not besides the paper to indicate
the mans identity. @
The man did not commit suicide for
lack of money, for in his pocketbook
was found $6.7s. The silver dollars had
corroded even inside the leather case.
The watch which the man had was
green from corrosion, and there was
very little left of the clothes.
