LAMOREUX COMES HOME.
Stricken with Nervous Prostitution
VIII Not Return for Two
Weeks.

Chicago, H., March 3.-[Special.l-A
Washington dispatch to the Post says:
Land Commissioner Lamoreux set at
rest all talk about what he will or will
not do by taking train for his home in
Wisconsin this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
He has not been at his Office for a week
and announces that he will not return
before the 10Th. BY this time he thinks
his successor will be appointed. Mr..
Herman of Oregon is said to be slated
FOR the position"
A morning paper says the commits
sioner is suffering from nervous prostra-
ton, largely brought on by the considera-
ton of the complicated lake front land
controversy in Chicago, and is also sub
ject to an affection of the heart, which
makes his condition delicate and danger
Gus.
About the time the lake front decision
was ready to be announced Judge Lamo-
reux was taken sick and his illness pre-
vented his presence at the department on
the day the decision was to be given out.
He then started iJr Old Point Comfort
TO rest a few days, but became so i'll on
the train that he turned back from Rich
mond.
The Chicago case has been an unfor-
tunate one for the department., and has
cast cloud over Judge Lamoreux's ETH
cient and faithful administration OF the
general land office There have been so
many conflicting interests involved and
so much depended on the decision that
the commissioner has given the case
great study.
There has not been harmony at all
stages of the proceedings between the
commissioner and his subordinates.

east front of the capitol, but an express
sion Of humility, mingled with Iealiza-
ton of the heavy burdens he was about
to assume, and of manly determination
faithfully to discharge the manifold
duties of his high office as he bent his
head and repeated in a clear voice the
words:
do solemnly swear that | will faithfully
execute the Office Of President Of the United
States and will to the best of my ability
preserve, protect and defend the constltu-
tion of the United States.
Thus did William Mckinley gather
from the hand of Grover Cleveland the
reins Of power and became President of

Of March 4, 1897, will go down in history
as excelling all that have gone before:

on the Hil1mon Case.
Topeka, Kas, March 3.-Webb Nc
Nall, state superintendent of insurance,
has addressed a letter to the Connecticut
Mutual Life and the New York Life in
surance companies, as follows:
Your annual report for the year ending
December 81, 1896, has been received and
in reply will say TO issuing license for
the ensuing year for your company to do

with Mrs Sally e. Hilmon in refusing to
pay the death loss and in the litigation of
the same pertaining to her deceased huS-

Surance company license to do business
in the state for the ensuing year.
Similar notice was sent to the head of
fees of the New York Mutual Life In
surance company.
The Hillmon case, i'll which Mrs. Hill
mon sued the insurance companies to re-
cover something like $4,000 in premi-
INNS held by her husband, was one of
the most celebrated and hardest fought
of recent years. Hillmon disappeared
about seven years ago and his wife
claimed he had been drowned and his
body never recovered. The companies
refused to believe him dead and would
not pay the claim. Mrs. Hillmon brought
suit and four times the jury failed TO

COFFIN NAILS ARE HIT.
Council Passes an Ordinance Licensing
Cigarette Dealers.

Chicago, H.. March 2.-The cigarette
ordinance limiting, so far as it is posi-
BILE to limit, the sale of cigarettes in the
city, passed the council last night by a
unanimous vote. !.
There was debate and warm debate
before the ordinance was passed. but it
concerned itself simply with inquiring
into the extreme limit of license that
would be upheld by the courts An
amendment fixing the license fee at the
prohibitive figure of $1,000 was rejected
One absolutely prohibiting all cigarette
sales within 200 feet of any school build
ing was a1rccepted and then the ordinance
was passed.
It's chief provisions arc that no person
sn--n be allowed to sell cigarettes until
he has presented to the commissioner Of
public health good evidence that he and
all the clerks in his establishment are of
good mora! character. This recommen-
dation, when signed by the commissioner
passes to the mayor If it meets his
approval, the applicant is allowed to take
out license for the sale Of cigarettes
providing none of the goods he sells con-
tain opium, morphine, jimsom weed,
glycerine or sugar in any form. A $500
bond is required in order that this pro-
vision may be respected and a license
fee of 500 is charged in addition. =
