higher prices. There is not a bearish
feature in the situation and nothing TO

should have a crop failure there will be
nothing to feed bears on. 1t may react
from these prices somewhat. and if il

some wheat 1t is a good thing.

sympathy with wheat with over cent
advance over night The market eased
off somewhat on account of heavy
realing by longs The government report
shows ia million bushels less than
last year in farmers hands and we have
thirty-five million more animals to feed
it to than last year. Everything points
to higher prices. Corn is in good hands
and is getting scarcer every day and will
soon assert itself.
Oats were neglected today on account

An EmpOria Young Man Re
turns from Africa.

LAWRENCE, March 12-The women of
Lawrence, or q large number of them,
have organized a league for the purpose
of reforming the present state of munich
pal affairs Two hundred of them met in
the Presbyterian church and discussed
the matter
At the conclusion of Mrs. Paul R.
Brooks paper on "Municipal- Reform"
there followed a very lively discussion,
which the wives of candidates for office
and some others tried very hard to keep
free from politics. The discussion was
led by Mrs. w II. Carruth
She stated that woman's first duty was
voting. "We cannot have clean city
witk9 ut good managers and we should
helE. so elect those managers" was her
ope4!ng advice. She suggested cleaning
at le's own door and then urged the
VOL len not to dump refuse in the alleys
and streets.
She was followed in the same strain by
Mrs. Davies. Mrs Rice took a different
view of the matter, and vigorously COM
batted this idea, saying that going to the
primaries was just the thing that the
women did not want to do. These two
opposing views caused warm words, but
resulted in no conclusion.
Following this Mrs Spangler read the
city ordinances on health and cleanli-
ness, and this was followed by a brief
discussion.
The ladies then decided to organize,
which they did by electing the following
officers: President, Mrs Paul r.
Mrs. Raymond, Mrs. J. n. Roberts; secre-
tary; Mrs. c. L Esterly; treasurer, Mrs.
Geo. 1nnes, and the executive committee
is to consist of the officers of the league.

LAW WAS REPEALED.
Gen. ChiIds' Reply to County At.
tOrney ButIer1S Question.

Gen. ChiIds' Reply to County At
torneN ButIer's Question.
Some time ago County Attorney But.
Ter asked Attorney General Childs to
advise him as to whether it is neces-
sary for the county auditor to give
notice provided for in section 106
Childs' Tax Laws, by publication, and
also whether any notice need be pub
lished until after the sheriff's return
that party cannot be found. The law
in question is chapter LOG, Laws of 1885,
and Mr.. Childs holds that it was re-
pealed by chapter 12S, Laws of 1889, SO
that the notice need not be published.
Gen. Childs' opinion follows:
In view of what is said in Kenatson
VS.. Great Northern Ry Co., 60 N. w. r.
S13, l am of the opinion that the no
tice provided by General Laws 1885,
chap. 1874. is no longer required.
The view of the court is that the law
of 1885 was enacted under a miSappre-
hension as to the effect of the passage
of General Laws 1881, chap. 10, sec. 22,
81. The legislature enacted the pro-
visions of 1885 upon the mistaken view
that section 81 had been repealed.
Whatever effect the law of 1885 may
have had upon section 81, so far as the
giving of notice is concerned, 1t is
evident that the passage of General
Laws 1889, chap. 128, re-enacted it in
the form in which it now appears in
the last named act. The law of 1885
must therefore be deemed repealed or
abrogated by it.
