Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1898-03-23

Stealing tombstones is very con-
temptible business. An enterprising
citizen of Pine Bluff, Ark, is in Jail
for engaging in this avocation. 1t has
been his habit to obliterate the old
mortuary records, sell the stones to
new patrons and chisel new records
upon them.
A pain-deadening compound was ap-
piled to an aching tooth of Miss Essic
Adams, an actress, by New York
dentist, just before he extracted it.
Rotting of the jaw bone resulted, ne
cessitating very painful and disfgur-
ing operation. She sued the dentist
and received verdict of $4,000.

The house passed the bill to permit the
practice of osteopathy by n vote of 81 to
80. The bill to compensate the members
of the code committee was re-considered
and was again lost. Blake's bill to refund
moneys to purchasers of land from the
state, which land the state had not the
right to sell, was passed. These claims
are known as the Des Moines river land
cases. The speaker declared out of order
the motion by Bull to reconsider the vote
by which the chair was sustained in send
ing the Potter manufacturing bill to the
committee on the suppression of intemper-
ance. The board of control bill was re-
ceived and referred to u special committee.
