Judgment in such cases shall not ex-
tend further than removal from Office.
The persons convicted shall, never
theless, be liable to Indictment, trial
and punishment according to law. !"
It is obvious that this section does not
fix the time in which an indictment
may lie to after conviction, on I'M
peachment, but only intends to pre-,
vent a conviction on impeachment
being plead in bar to an indictment,
trial and punishment according to
law" If this contention were true,
then the governor could not alone
claim this immunity, but every other
Executive and judicial officer" could
claim like exemption. Besides, If the
house saw fit to refuse to prefer
charges of impeachment for any Of
fense, or the offense was one for which
impeachment would not lie, then his
excellency, the governor, would of
necessity escape all punishment, be-
cause the alleged prerequisite of con-
viction on impeachment could not be
shown. Thus is shown the utter ab-
surdity of such contention. But 1t
may be urged that if the governor
could not be arrested and put in Jail
there would be no one to exercise the
functions of his office and the people
would be without an executive head.
Article 4, Section 9 of the constitution
provides: I'm case of the temporary
disability of the governor the lieuten
ant governor shall perform the duties ass
of the governor" Thus it will be seen
that in case his excellency should be
come temporarily disabled by prefer
ring to 20 to jail rather than pay 8
small fine of a few dollars, the peo
ple's government would not 60 le
ruin for want of an executive head.

HELD BY THE OFFICERS,
Claycolm, the Grave Robber,
Taken From Prison and
Hidden Away.
Failure of an Attempt to Prevent
His Being Taken Back to
Nebraska.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 24.-The at
torneys for Edward Claycolm, the grave
robber arrested here Friday for shipping
stolen bodies into the State from Omaha,
applied for and secured writ of habeas
corpus this morning. While the proceed
ing was in progress officers arrived from
Omaha for Claycolm, who has been posi-
lively identified as a leading member of
the gang of ghouls. Today they learned
that the writ was likely to be issued, and
induced the authorities here to turn the
man over to them. They had taken him
away from the city jail only a short time
when an officer arrived with the writ.
When a Deputy Sheriff arrived with the
writ and demanded the prisoner, he was
told the man had been set at liberty. The
Omaha officers had nc authority to take
the man out of the State, not having time
to secure requisition papers...They took
Claycolm to private place, where he is
now confined in room and closely
guarded. He will be kept until the requisi-
ton papers come, unless the Sheriff with
the habeas corpus writ finds him. Every
effort is being made to serve the writ, but
without success thus far. Trains are
watched and it is pretty certain no effort
will be made to take him out of the city

CAROLINE VERY JEALOUS,
Mrs. Hoyt Objects to the Nice
Criticism of Alice Pierce's
Acting.
And Now an Attempt Is Made to
Force the Young Woman Out
of the Company.

BOSTON, MASS, Feb. 24.-There is trou-
BILE in Charles H. Hoyt's "a Contented
Woman" company. Caroline Miskel Hoyt
is charged with being jealous of one of the
other women in the company, sand the
matter is to be aired in the courts here the
first Monday in March. The interested
parties are Mr.. and Mrs. Hoyt, Mrs. Mary
Pierce, who has been playing the part of
the strong-minded woman in the piece,
and her fair daughter, Alice, who was also
in the company. Mrs. Pierce tells the fol-
lowing tale:
Alice, who is but 16, has been taking a
light comedy part in the play. Previous
to putting this show on the road we worked
for MIR. Hoyt, and had no trouble. Last
September Mr.. Hoyt signed forty weeks
contract with Alice and announced to the
public that it was for three years. Every
thing was all right till we played in San
Francisco. There the papers criticized
Mrs. Hoyt's work severely and doomed
Alice, giving her three times the attention
they did Mrs. Hoyt. Then Mrs. Hoyt and
the stage manager began trying to force
Alice out OF the company. The critics
were even worse in Chicago. There was
quite little feeling about the notices Alice
and Mrs. Hovt were gettinr. When we
here Mr.. Hoyt told me he would need us
no longer. l asked him why, and he said
Alice was inimical to harmony in the COM
pany. He would not say why. Mr.. Hoyt
refuses to discuss the case.'
1t is said in theatrical circles that Mrs,
Hoyt objected to its being pointed out
that her value as an actress lay wholly in
her physical charms

by the Government upon the suggestion OF
General Grant, then President, and for a
quarter of a century appropriations had
been made for their support. To strike

said with much mphasis, was neither just
nor right
Watson (R.) of Ohio, interrupted to ask
sherman if he believed that In case the
appropriations should be denied the chill
dren would not be educated.

ment should sustain any sect, | don't care

Methods That DO Not Please the Trunk
Lines.

CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. 24.-Tne railroads
in the Trunk Line Association have mott
fed the Southern Pacific that they will no
longer pay share Of the commissions
charged by that line on transcontlnental
business secured by Southern Pacific
agents in Europe. The Southern Pacific,
not being member of the Western I'm.
migrant Clearing house, has been getting
the largest share of imm igrant business
by paying agents in Europe, and the trunk
lines have taken this action to force the
South ern Pacific to abandon such agencies
or bea all the expense.
The direct lines to Colorado are whet-
ting their scalping- knives for the Southern
Pacific, and threaten a general cut in Cali
fornia passenger rates If their rival does
not stop its practice OF getting big party
business by routine from the Pacific or
Atlantic in a roundabout way. The latest
grievance is that the Southern Pacific is
negotiating for a large party from Phila-
delphia by its Morgan line of steamers to
Galveston, thence via its Sunset route to
the Denver and Gulf road, which will
carry the party of settlers into Colorado,

desired effect

St. Louis Society Shocked by the Discov-

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 24.-The morally

yesterday by an expose in a local paper OF
number of regular gambling houses con-
Quoted by women in the fashionable
West End. There are at least six resorts

ever shuffied poker deck.
Some of the women have more or less
social position, but their course of late has
been such as to make them notorious and
about town. Young business men, bank
clerks, bookkeepers, doctors, dentists and
lawyers fond OF little gambling have
been attracted to their tables and have
considered it rare privilege to be per-
mitted to be separated from their money,
which they have been to a liberal extent.

"A STREAK OF LUCK"
A Mining Man Falls Right on
His Feet in This State.
Found Some Camps That Did Not
span Out"

THERE ARE A FEW THINGS IN THE
L world that will stand as landmarks as long
as the English language is spoken, and not an
inconspicuous one is the typical Californian
gold-miner. He has fewer traits that leave a
disagreeaple memory than most of the rugged
types of the world; and he has more of the
genuine manly spirit than most people who get
lauded for their conspicuous bravery Accus-
toned to face hard times well as "the har--
vest of plenty" he learns. without knowing #
almost, to sympathize with the "weak and
weary" And when things do not look par.
ticularly roseate with him he accepts the con-
dition of affairs with a complacency that ia
matches as well as admirable. One of the
younger men who to-day are to be found try
ing to carve out for themselves name and
fame" in the mines is Mr.. A. Burton, who is
now in the great gold-bearing section of Grass
Valley. Mr.. Burton is an honest, good-natured
fellow. He has had his share of misfortune
too, and when a few months ago he was stricken
right in the middle of his work with a most
dangerous disease it seemed as though fate had
determined to "down him" But he imme-
dlately struck OUT for the Hudson Medical
Institute, the institution which has become so
famous on account of the wonderfully clever
work of the specialists practicing there, and as
result he is back at work again, and thank
tul for what has been done for him. He has
written as follows to the managers:
GRASS VALLEY, CAL Aug is, 1895.
Hudson Medical institute. san Francisco Cal
Gentlemen: L have received three letters from
you which were sent TO Downieville. I have been
10 Gold Valley and to Nevada and through nearly
all the mining camps ever since, and that was the
reason that / did not get my mail before. The
medicine that took did lots of good and
snail soon send for some more. Yours respect
fully, A. BURTON
So although Mr.. Burton has not "struck il
very rich' in the mining camps recently he
certainly made no mistake when he became
sick as to where to go. But every one has the
same experience who applies to this mecca
for all the sick" for assistance. Thousands of
testimonials bear out the absolute truth OF this
assertion. For instance:
F. Minturn, ST. Louis, Mo-: al desire to ex-
press my sincere thanks for the careful and
conscientious manner in which my case has
been treated by you"
S. M. Hooker OF Los Angeles writes: 81 now
feel as though am cured and well man"
X. c. Taft of Stowe Cal, says: '1am feeling
fine without sign OF disease now
G. II. Bent: "By the time get the medicine
taken that l have now l don't think that will
need any more"
1t is a satisfactory thing to see all these ex-
pressions of good opinion and good will coming
in, as they do, by TIE hundreds daily to the
physicians of the great Hudson Institute, af-
fording further proof that if you suffering
from any durable disease there is no place
where you will get help so PROMPTLY and
