SOME QUEER LAWS.
Curious Legislation in Some of the
Western States.
Statutory Enactments to Promote
sobriety and Morality which
Arc Peculiar to Tbnt pOr-
ton of the Country.

For many years the two western
states which have enjoyed generally Il
virtual monopoly of peculiar Legislation
are Kansas and Nevada, but there arc
few western statcs which have not. at
some time or other, and do not row.
from time to time, adopt statutes wnici,
seem unduly radical in conservative
communities in the east and south.
The ''anti-trcating" law, statute de
signed by the Carson legislature tc
abate the evils of intemperancc in Ne
vada, did not work well in that state
and was repealed.
Recently there has been presented at
the Michigan legislature proposition
intended to promote the cause of so
briefly in the Wolverine state by q
statutory enactment of n somewhat
similar kind. 1t proposes to decrease
the number of customers CT liquor sa-
looms by taxing each individual drink

pling licenses" at n uniform price OF
five dollars head. The name and nun.
Der of every license must be published.
so that the thirsty ones in each cor
munity may be known to the general
public if they are not already known.
No dispenser of drinks may sell n man
any spirituous beverage until he pro-
duces his license, and no license is
transferable.
The constitution of Idaho excludes
from the rights of citizenship the per-
sons following: anyone under guar

Rewarded For His Honesty.

An English farm laborer recently
went TO a small store kept by an old
woman and asked for "a pahnd O. ba-
con.
She produced the bacon and cut a
piece off. but could not find the pound
weight.
''Oh, never mind t pahnd weight. :"
said he. Ma fist just weighs pahnd.
So put ther bacon i t scales.
The woman confidently placed the
bacon into one side of the scales while
the man put his fist into the other side.
and, of course. took good care to have
good weight.
While the woman was wrapping the
bacon up the pound weight was found.
and, on seeing it. the man said:
Nah, you see if my fist don't just
weigh a pahnd. -
The pound weight was accordingly
put into one scale and the mans fist
into the other. this time only just to
balance.
The old woman, ON seeing this. said;

Had to Get LIP.

Some years ago DR.. Oscar Blumen-
thai. the director of the Lessing theate1
in Berlin, had an unpleasant experience
of the vigilance with which the author
titles carry out their duties.
In his comedy, the ''Orient Reise. p"
one of the characters was afflicted with
a mother-in-law of the most objection
able kind This lady died and, accord
ing to the belief of her relatives, went
to heaven. The prospect of fresh ac-
quaintance with his dreaded mother-in-
law so terrified her son-in-law that he
announced that, if this should be his
fate, when the resurrection comes
shan't get up. -
This was sufficient for the authori-
ties. Twenty-four hours after the pro-
duction of the piece an ominous blue
envelope arrived at the Lessing theater
containing peremptory order from the
president of police that the lines in
question should be Immediately sup
pressed, ''as being calculated to wound
the religious feelings of the lieges. -

Vanity In somnIiInna.

If you wish to make Somai woman
absolutely happy, you give her look
i.-g glass. She will never before have
seen one, but feminine instinct Will
teach her how to use il. Mrs. Alan
Gardner, on one of her big game shoot
ing expeditions in Somaliland, gave a
native woman a looking glass for a
Christmas present. She was so delight
ed with the first clear sight of her dusky
countenance that she sat through two
entire days and nights outside Mrs
Gardner's tent gazing with rapture at
her own reflection.
On the morning of the third day the
fame of the looking glass had spread
through the country, and a row of 40
Somali women. collected from far and
near, was engaged in taking an admir-
ing turn at the magic mirror. When
Mrs. Gardner came on the scene, she
was greeted by 40 feminine Somali
voices Joined in chorus and each beg
ging for looking glass ''all to her
self. But, alas, for the limitations of
sporting outfit, the dusky bellies were
obliged to content themselves with the
one communal mirror. And the woman
with the looking glass remained for
many weeks the most important person
in Somaliland.-Lon Illustrated

WILD TIME IN THE HOUSE.
IIIioois Legislators Come Near Having
Row Over n Measure.

Springfield. Ills, April 12.-The house
passed bill appropriating s60.000 to pay
members OF the National Guard anG
naval militia rejected upon the exam
ination for service in the Spanish-Amer-
lean war from the time they were or
dered to commence drilling until re-
jected. The bill allowing voting pre-
cincts in the Quincy Soldiers Home was
placed on passage and provoked a scene
of unprecedented disorder narrowly
missing violence. The speaker refused
to recognize a Democrat to speak on the
bill and the roll-call began. The MEM
bers were greatly excited. Hackett of
Chicago tore the sheet on which the roll
call was being tailed from the clerks
hand and demolished 1t. After quiet
had been restored the bill passed-19 to
1. The house passed the bills prohibit
ing the public exhibition of deformed
persons and criminals and to tax the
gross receipts of insurance companies
per cent. on foreign and 2k on domestic.
The senate passed the bill appropriat-
ing $4,000 per annum to pay bounty on
beet sugar, but dispute about the vote
of a member who was absent will delay
the measure so that it will probably
fail in the house

SHOT BY SOME ONE UNKNOWN.
Verdict of the Coroner's Jury on One OF

Pana, Ills, April 12-The coroner has
held an inquest on one innocent victim
of Mondays riot. The body was that
Of Frank Coburn, who was shot dead
as he stood in the doorway of a barn
next to his bottling works The verdict
is that deceased came to his death from
a gunshot wound at the hands of par

bullet was from a gun of large caIiber
About nine witnesses were examined
the most OF the shots fired at the mine
tipple were. it is believed, fired from
the windows on the rear Of the Opera
House. two blocks distant from the
Pana mine buildings.
Frank Coburn was standing in the
doorway of a barn adjacent to his bot
tlinS house, a hundred yards east of the
Penwell coll!ery, and was looking south
east, it is asserted. when he fell dead
with bullet in his forehead This
would indicate that he was shot by one
of several deputy sheriffs who were
stationed two squares southeast of the
Pcnwell mine. instead of being killed
by shot from the miners west of him.

story of the firing from the tipple than

morning will convince any one that We

we only defended our lives The negroes

the shooting occurred between the sher-
iff and their mate. Henry Stephens. who
had gone to the village to visit a negro
named Johnson, who was in the lock-
up. They got the report that the sher-
iff had shot johnson. as well as Stephens
and cried and beseeched the office for
guns TO defend themselves with.
We did not give them guns until
man was shot down on the steps OF the
office. and il was reported a raid was to
be made on the mine. We then gave
out the guns. While we We're trying to
