In the senate last Wednesday Sem
ator Magee from Pittsburg introduced
n bill governing the time in which ac-
tion can be taken against traction and
railway companies for damages.
The act says that all actions must
be entered within n year; provided
that all actions due to cause arisen
prior to the passage of this act and
not now barred by the statute of linn
itation shall be brought within a year
from the date of the passage of this
act.
mo action for damages for injuries
to the person arising from negligence
shall be brought unless the party en-
titled to bring II shall have given not
ice within 30 days from the date when
the cause of action arose to the per-
son, firm or corporation to be charged
as defendant I'm such action of his or
her intention to bring the same, which
notice shall specify the time, the place
and the character of the accident"
Section 2 provides that all actions
for damages for injuries to the person
arising from negligence shall be
brought within six months from the
time of the inhiction of such injuries,
and not afterward. Both measures ex-
cept suit already brought or likely to
arise from accidents which have al
ready happened.

London, June 29.-The Times. in a
rather ironical leading editorial on the

congress is either wise or representa-
tive. or that the proceedings are likely
to further the real interests of woman

Springfield, Ills, June 29.-The first

Governor Tanner quarantined the state

meeting of the Illinois Farmers insti-
tute at the state house yesterday. and

board of live stock commissioners is re-

the request of the Chicago Society for
the Prevention of tuberculosis for per-
mission to send lecturers to the institute
to spread this dangerous scare" as the
resolution reads.
The preamble states that the facts of
human experience absolutely and unde
niably cisprove the statement that tu-
berculosis is a dangerously contagious
disease. and the proba bility of the
transmission OF the disease from ami
mails to man is yet disputed by eminent
scientists. and the present unwise and
unwarranted crusade of some represen-
tatiVes OF the medical and veterinary
professions against our herds on the
ground of alleged disease is prejudicing
the public against beef and milk, the
most wholesome of human foods. and
thus working untold damage to agricul-
tural interests
