railroads should combine to raise the
prices for carrying the crops to the

A remarkable discovery has been
made in Connecticut. BY an error In
the statutes it is almost impossible to
punish a man for bigamy. 1t is not a
crime for man to be married to more

live with his wives. Who knows but
the members of the legislature intended
to have the law read just as 1t does
