The Ruins of Humanity.

Of all the ruins on which the eye ot
 man can gaze, or on which his memory can dwell, none are more painfully sub, lime than the ruins of humanity; and
 what are they? Not the deep furrow which time ploughs on the cheeks, or the sIlvery whlte~ess with which years cover the head-not the curved spine, which bows the face in the earth, as if looking tor a grave to rest in; for the wrinkled cheek and the stopping frame are the appropriate accompanlments of old age, and as beautiful in the system of life as winter with it's leafless trees and frozen streams in the system of the seasons. But the ruins of humanity are seen in wrinkles which time has not made, in frame trem bling with anxiety, shaken by sorrow, humb by sin, withered by despair-when the beauty of youth is gone, and the beauty of age has not supplied it's place-lt is more melancholy than snow in harvest, or than the ruins of the grandest cathedral which genus ever poised to touch the clouds London Echo.

According to Section 40 of the new stock law, if stockmen on a roundup slaughter an animal for thelr oTn use, they are required to keep the hide with the ears attached, for the period of twen- ty-one days. This is a little tough on some of the stockmen of Gila county whose ranges are in the mountains where wagons cannot be used, and supplies have to be packed on the backs of horses or mules. The law reads 'the hide with marks attached must be retained in ms or their possession for twenty y-one days" therefore the hide would have to be carried around or else it would have to be inspected and tagged and twenty. five cents paid therefor. Any person violating this provision is liable to a fine of two hundred dollars.-Silver Belt.

 There is nothing the matter with the west and the man who says it is down at the hip IS talking in his sleep. It is to the west that the ambitious youth of the land must ere long turn for those oppor- tunities in life which day by day are growing rarer, and rarer in the over crowded east. It is to the west that the immigrant from the old world must soon journey in rder to find the home which he seeks in the new. And in the near future it is from the great west, with It's vast areas of territory, with it's inexhaust- ible treasures of gold, silver and copper, of lead and coal and ron with it's great rivers and water powers, and with it's wonderful variety of soil and it's match less climate, that must come a very large share of the wealth and resource which are to hold us Tn the front rank as the richest and most pregnable nation upon the face of the earth" says the Field and Farm.

"Doctor," said the patient, "I believe there is something wrong with my stomach" "Not a bit," replied the medical man, very promptly. "God made your stomach, and He knows how to make them. There's something wrong with the stuff you put in it, maybe, and something wrong in the way you stuff it in and stamp it down, but your stomach itself is all right" And then the patient immediately went out to find physician who understood hls business.

Hammergren had testified to having
talked with them at their home. Nellie
Johnson, the daughter, was arrested
Thursday and was awaiting continu-
ance at the Jail, while her mother had
been arrested at 2 O'clock Friday after
noon and was also confined in Matron

Attorney McGhee subpoenaed the pro-
prietors and clerks In every pawn shop
on the portion of Seventh street where
the officer testified he had changed
his clothes, ana not one of them re-
members the policeman having been in
their place. Confronted by these con-

gren turned the matter over in his
mind, and finally concluded that it
was Thursday instead OF Friday when
the occurrence to which he had testified
took place, though he is still trying to
recollect where he did the lightning

VALIDITY OF RECENT CONsTITU-
TIONAL AMENDMENTS Is CALLED
IN QUESTION.
WESTERN UNION PROTESTS
AGAINST THE COLLECTION OF $10,-
900 UNDER THE LAW RECENT
LY RATIFIED.
STATUS OF THE ANDERSON BILL
Is Also Liable to Be Questioned by
the Companies to Whose Land
1t Applies.

State Treasurer Koerner yesterday
received from the Western Union Tele-
graph company $4,000, which was &C
companied by formal notice that the
money was paid under protest, and
that the company waived none Of its
rights that might exist to recover in
the event that the law under which the
tax was paid, the validity of which it
does not concede should be declared
invalid by the courts.
The payments by telegraph and tele-
phone companies, of which this is one,
are Of special interest now, not only
because they predict hard fight over
the amendment to the constitution
which was voted on at the last general
election and which covers telephone
and telegraph companies, but it may be
taken as an index Of the position which
will be assumed by the railroad COM
panies in connection with the Anderson
bill for the taxation of railroad lands,
which was similarly ratified by the vot-
ers last November, but the validity Of
which has been clouded by the recent
action of the senate in unseating Frank
A. Day, without whose vote the bill
could not have been passed.
The position that the railroads would
take on the matter Of the Anderson
hill has been largely conjectural, in
view of the fact that the question has
been raised whether the bill would not
invalidate the gross earnings tax, I'M
der which the state has been 1evying
tribute from the roads for years, and
which alone, in the course Of a pair
Of decades, no doubt, will be sufficient
+n atsah o11,Od a IA al h..
slate expenses. 1t has been expected
that the law would be contested by at
least some one Of the companies. If
not on the ground above named, then
it will probably be on the ground that
the bill was never legally passed, and
not rightfully a part Of the laws Of
the state. Some of the lawyers on the
floor Of the senate expressed the view
that this position would be tenablc,
while they were, arguing for or against
the unseating of Senator Day, and it
is possible that this question will yet
be raised. If the question whether the
Anderson bill does not repeal the gross
earnings tax is raised at all, it will
undoubtedly be incidental to the MAIN
discussion, for, in spite Of the fact
that the gross earnings tax is not due
until p. m, Feb. l, the Chicago, Mil
Waukee & st. Paul road has already
paid that portion of the taxes assessed
against it and without any show of a
contest. 1t is the expectation at the
state house. however, that the rail-
roads will not submit to the taxation
of their unused lands until they have
forced the legal questions involved in
the law into the courts

HOW WAS 1T DEC. 81.
Question About Bank of Minnesota
Before Judge Bum.

Judge Bum was occupied nearly all
day yesteday listening to the testimony
Of the officials of the Bank of Mime
sofa in the matter Of the petition of
the Mannheimer brothers and others
for the return of the moneys deposited
by them in the bank on Dec 81, the day
before the bank closed. It is alleged
by the petitioners that the officials of
the bank received deposits on Dec p,
knowing the bank to be in an insolvent
condition at the time. The officials
placed on the stand yesterday denied
that the bank was insolvent on Dec.
q. Frank A. Seymour, one of the re-
ceivers, testified, as did Mr.. Burke, the
paying teller, who said that the total
amounts deposited on Monday, Dec q,
would foot up to about 100000
William Dawson Jr., the cashier. and
Robert L. Miller, the assistant cashier,
were both called to the stand and both
testified that the bank was not insol-
vent on Dec. u.
Court adjourned after all the testi-
mony had been put in and deferred
the hearing Of argument Of counsel I'M
til next Friday at 10 a. M The whole
question involved is, was the Bank Of

THAT our condition in this respect Is
different from that In any other part
sof 0the state, for the reason that no
where in Minnesota have government
inspectors been appointed, except at
South st. Paul, where our yards are.
The principal objection to the pending
bill in my opinion, is that it is ex-
pensive in it's operations and unfair III
snme particulars, bearing unequally
upon those who would do business I'M
der it's provisions. The bill might be
modified so as to eliminate it's objec-
tionable features, in which case it
might be made a reasonable law. I'M
less some radical changes are made In
its provisions 1t would practically pro-
hibit meat dealers from other states
from doing business here, not because
of-its legal prohibition, but because the
expense to outside dealers would be
go great that 1t would force them to
retire from our markets"

IS HOSHAW COMPETENT
To Administer His Own Affairss-
That's the Question.


George Hoshaw is an old soldier in
receipt Of a pension of SIC month, but
unable to spend the money as he would
like to. Mr.. Hoshaw Is handicapped,
as he thinks, by a guardian. The
guardian is John E. McCarron, who
was appointed a year ago this month
to take care Of Mr.. HoshaW and his
property. Mr.. H0shaw having been ad-
judged incompetent to manage his own
affairs.
From this espionage Mr.. Hoshaw
seeks relief, and he has petitioned the
probate court to discharge his guardian
and rehabilitate him. The hearing be-
gan before Judge Willrich yesterday,
but was not finished.
Mrs. Hoshaw the petitioners wife,
is opposing the petition. She and her
witnesses took the stand and testified
that Mr.. Hoshaw frequently came
home intoxicated and that, if the
guardian was discharged and the full
control Of his money and property
given to him. Hoshaw would
spend 1t for drink. The hearing will
