bill at the urgent request Of the
president and secretary Of war, but
the senate did not remain in session
as expected and the bill will not 90

Some fear was expressed on tie dem

peace, but an amendment prepared
by Mr. Bailey, which removed all
doubt on this score, was accepted by
Mr. Hull and the bill passed by I'M
animous vote. The bill rcorganizcs
the army into three battalion forma-

The Stamp Act.

The new war revenue bill went into
effect last Friday, and was the
chief topic of comment and dispute all
day. The REGIsTER's copy of the
law is apparently the only one in town
and it was in demand from every
quarter. Patrons of the banks were
warned several days ago by circu-
lar advising them that all checks and
drafts must bear revenue stamps,--as
a result OF which the man who has
been accustomed to pay all his bills,
from 20 cents up, by checks, will prob
ably mend his ways. The impression
seemed to have got abroad that all re-
celpts for money in any sum over S.. 90
must bear stamp, ard there was
much CONSERVATION for while among
the hill collectors. But close read
ing OF the bill fails to find ground for
this requirement. OF course there is
some kicking. Some people who say
that Spain ought to he wiped off the
map but wAo couldn't be hired to en-
list IN the army, think it is all kinds
of an outrage that they have to buy
an occasional two cent stamp to help
the government whip spain and pay
the boys that are enlisted, But they
will probably get ashamed OF them
selves pretty soon, The general feel
ing is that The act was wisely planned
that II lays the burden upon those
who can best atfoid to bear 1t, and
that all patriotic citizens ought to be
glad Of an opportunity to do some
thing tor their country.

A Case of Insanity.

Mary Falwell, a handsome young
woman of Humboldt was brought to
lola this morning and tried for in
sanity. A jury was drawn and after
hearing the testimony of her brother
pronounced her insane and applica-
ton was made for her admission to
the asylum.
The unfortunate young woman is
% years old, a very pronounced
brunette, and in health must have
heeD very handsome young woman,
She sat in the .court with her long
black hair streaming over her
shoulders, and her dark, excited eyes
watching everything. The solemn
counteDances of her judges called forth
peals of laughter from her The
testimony of her brother WA that
she had been in i'll health for some
time. did little work, and believed
she could made people do as che
desired. Her particular mania was
to have all the world at her feet.
This is the first sign of insanity ever
shown, although her aunt and grand
mother were both at one time crazy.
She wandered away from the house
and stayed out in the sun Thursday
and last night wanted to go up town
but was followed aud taken home.
There is another version of the story
current in Humboldt to the effect
that her step-father had struck her
some time ago and that she was sick
in consequence, A few days ago he
returned home and found her moving
in the front yard with scythe and
upon her refusing TO desist struck her
again. This story was not given in
court and the authority for 1t cannot
be learned, but ii would bear investi-
cation. The facts found by the jury
were that she is sick aud her i'll
health brought on the inherited
insanity.

AS to the Latiarpe Gas Well.

The DAILY REGISTER OF last Fri
day makes the statement that accord
ing TO the survey made by Capt
DE Witt, the Lanyon gas well In town
Is on the Palmer Oil Company's tract
of land, and That If this survey stands
the Palmer Company can, by due
process of law, dispossess the Ian.
yons and obtain the well for it's own
benefit We think there Is a little
point of law in this matter that the
REGISTER failed to look up. BY our
statute of limitations, actions to re-
cover possession of real estate, where
the occupant has had undlsputed
possession, must be brought within
fifteen years. The well i'm question
IL on the original townsite of La
Harpe, and this site was laid out.
somewhere from seventeen to twenty
years ago. Without being lawyer,
we think this statute pretty effec-
tual bar to any action that may be
brought, at this late day, by the
Palmer Company or anybody else =,
for that matter, to recover possession
OF the land where this well is To-
cated.-La Harpe News.
The REGISTERS attorney says that
the point make by the News is not
well taken. The atatute provides
that the title to land cannot he ques-
toned after fifteen years Of "opep,
notorious and hostile possession. -
In this case the possession held by
the LaHarpe TOWNSHIP lacks the es-
sential element of hostility. The
land was not held against an adverse
claim all these years. 1t has simply
been held by mistake, and the statute
of limitation cannot be involved to
restrain the correction of a mistake
whenever it Is discovered.
The longer the case ~ considered
the more unfortunate it il seen to be.
The canyons are not in the least
degree to blame, of course. They
bought town lots which the official
plat showed to be part of the town
site of LaHarpe and sunk their well
upon one of them. 1t is only by the
accident of re-survey that the fact
is disclosed that the engineer who
made the original plat eighteen years
ago made mistake, extending the
townsite 50 feet farther south than
the deed called for There could
hardly seem to be anything more I'M
just than that the canyons should
lose valuable we'll because of mis-
take for which they not in the re-
hottest degree res ponsibe. On the
other hand the Palmer people, ha>-
ing bought and paid for the land,
have without doubt legal right
to 1t. 1t is a case in which are in
volved so .many points of law and
equity that the REGISTER cannot
presume to pass judgment. Its only
concern is that the matter may he
settled In a reasonable and friendly
way so that justice may be rendered
to all and wrong done to none.
