A great deal has been said about
Kansas and the mortgage system.
The latest story emanating from q
mortgage tells about a man who
mortgaged his farm to buy his
wife pair of diamond earrings
The wife took in washing to pay
the interest on the mortgage, but
IN the first job she lost one of the
sparks" in the suds, whereupou
she tried to hang herself in the
barn, but the rope broke and she
fell on a Jersey COW worth $50 and
broke its back. The husband then
undertook to shoot the COW to end
its misery, but the gun burst and
destroyed his eyes and his wife
run away with a lightning rod
peddler. The mortgage is still
there.

ARE PENAL IN NATURE.

An Important Decision as to the Char
acter of Saloon Bonds.
MINNEAPoL1s, July 2.-Bonds given
by persons in behalf Of saloonkeepers,
as required under the city ordinances,
are penal and not indemnity bonds,
and the bondsmen are liable to the city
for the full face Of the bonds should
events prove the bad character Of the
place and the failure Of the owner to
make Of it a resort Of good repute.
Judge Simpson of the district court so
held in a decision in the famous Stock.
holm Olsen case.
The action in question was brought
by the city against Olsen's bondsmen
for the recovery Of $4,000, the full liza.
bility under their bonds. Olsen had
been found guilty of keeping his place
open for business on Sunday and fined
$50 and costs. His attorney entered a
demurrer to the complaint, alleging
that the bond given in saloon cases was
an indemnity and not a penal bond and
that the bondsmen were liable only for
the $50 fine on Olsen's failure to pay it.
Judge Simpson overrules the demur.
rer and declares that such bonds are
penal bonds on their face and that they
are collectable by the city as such. The
bond guarantees the good character of
the place, the court holds, and if the
owner fails to make it such, a cause of
action lies against the bondsmen by
