fectioners, druggists, provision and produce mer-

easier TO sell goods and much easier to get the
pay than a year ago. each month seeming to inn
prove collections, unless II be with retail mer-
chants who are in habit of letting their bills
drag along from month TO month. 1t is evident
that this is the most prosperous of many winters
with the farmers and this in turn makes the
retail country merchants in good humor and dis
posed to buy more freely. Few changes in prices

Notes Of Recent Opinions.

The fact that a notary public is secretary
and treasurer of a corporation IS held, in
Horbach VS.. Tyrell (Neb) 81 l.. r. r. 434
insufficient to raise the presumption that he
is a stakeholder, or to make an acl1n0wledg-
ment of mortgage to the company, which
was taken by him, invalid.
Assessment of the property of an express
company within the State by including the
values of intangible property due to the fact
that the property is portion of large
proht-producing plant extending into other
States is held constitutional in Wells. Fargo
& Co.'S Express VS.. Crawford County (Ark.)
81 l.. r. A. 81.
The liability of railroad company for
injury to young child which strays upon
the track because of the lack of a fence is
sustained in Posse VS.. st. Paul & d. r. r.
Co. (Minn.) 81 L. r. A. 59l, overriding a
prior decision to the effect that the statute

lection of domestic animals.
A loan of money maize without the license
required by the Idaho statute for doing such
business is held. in Vermont Loan and Trust

makes the act a mSdemeanor, and provides
for suit to recover the license tax, and the
act is neither nahum in Sc nor nahum pro-
hibitum.
Driving a fire truck to fire so rapidly
that on approaching an electric Street-car
track it is impossible to stop in time to
avoid probable collision is held, in Clarity
pany (Mich) 81 L. r. A. 529, to constitute
negligence on the part of the driver al
though by the city ordinance he has the
right of way.
Inability to comprehend the obligation of
a note, or to understand and intelligently
answer the questions put by the court upon
voir dire examination. is held in State VS.
Meyers (Neb.) 81 l.. r. A. 423, to render
person incompetent to testify wit
ness. With the case are reviewed the de-
ciSion on the effect of insanity upon the
competency of witnesses.
The right of a passenger to take packages

refuses to move them, he with his packages
may be removed without unnecessary force.
A statute requiring railroad companies on
the discharge of an employee to pay all

Ex-Governor James s. Hogg, of Texas,
who is at the Riggs. as he once humorousiy
remarked in public speech, is of the Berk-

backs. He Is of immense girth and weight,
and has the strength of a giant But a few
short years ago he was a poor printer in a
small town in the piney woods section but
he had ambition and courage, and fixed
determination not to allow poverty to down
him.
He studied law. rose rapidly in his pro-
fession, went into politics. was twice elected
attorney general then Governor, then re-
elected, and is still the idol Of thousands
of voters in the Lone Star Common wealth
He was too young to take part in the civil

were much less than at other seasons of the

made at So. 5O4f3.65 for the poorest lots Dressed
