The point decided appears from the
opinion OF the court.
The Court says;
Tho only question involved in the
demurrer is. does n chattel mortgage
OF sheep and the increase thereof cover
the wool, the product of the Sheep"
In considering the question thus sub
mttted the statute authorizing chattel
mortgages is of primary Importance.
Section 1855, Civil Code, SO far as ma
terinl here, reads MS follows: Mort
cages may be made upon the following
personal property, and none other.
Neat Cattle, horses, mules, swine,
sheep, goats and the increase thereof"
Is wool to be sheared from the sheep
by the nlortgagor in possession included
IN this list? If not so included, and
plainly included, when the words are
given their general and unrestricted
meaning, the lien would not attach to
the wool, even IL 1t were so nominated
IN the bond 1t must be admitted that
the word increase" although various

In the context, 1t Invariably means the
young of such animals. The word is Of

Speak OF the Increase of n herd of cat
tie or flock of sheep, we refer to the
growth of the herd or flock by addition
OF new members. The natural increase
Gun only mean the addition Of new
members by birth. The wool does not
increase the flock OF sheep. Quite posi-
piy, because domestic animals are so
frequently considered as herds the
word increase" has acquired this par

slider the statute or the language of the

WHERE A WAITING ROOM IS
( ERECTED IN THE STREETS OF
A CITY BY AUTHORITY OF THE

The question in this case was wheth-

authority given 1t to do so by the
Councils of the city in which the street
was situated could be abated as q
nuisance on the COMPLAINT of an abut-
ting lot owner n view of whose house
was partly obstrnctcd by the waiting
room. The lower court held that it
could be abatcd and defendant ap-
pealed.
The court says:
That q waiting room ut or noar the
point where this building is located is
n public convenience Is apparent. and
as said by the Supreme Court In Wood
v. Water Works. "thc city corporation
may make every use of street which
reasonably conduces to the public con-
venience and enjoyment" We think
the city had the right to authorize the
erection of the building. and that it did
so authorize 1t by the ordinance re-
ferred to. Reversed.

MISSION SUNDAY.

bGI1NNlN OF THE CAItHOLlC

means a continuation of Christ mis-
sion to earth. When here He preached
HIS law. Before leaving earth He or
ganized a teaching body to carry on
His work. His commission to them is In
these words: GO, therefore, and teach
all nations, and loi / am with you; not
Tor awhile, but until time blends with
eternity" Practically speaking, q mis-
sion means to teach, and to move the
heart. God wills all men to be saved
ana to come to q knowledge of the
truth.
THE OPENING SERMON.
The, onening sermon of the mission
was preached by Father Gilllspie. It
was a powerful and impressive effort.
His text was the words of the commits
sion: GO. therefore. and teach all ma
lions" He said in part: missions in
the Catholic Church, which. being the
first. must be right and because God
and truth are one, must be the only
one right, are old as Christianity. In
the burning land of Africa. and in the
frozen region Of Alaska, from sea to
sea, now, as from the beginning. mis-
slons are being given by the Catholic
Church, which Is the church of Code
and must SO continue until time is
swallowed up by eternity"
The sermon at o'clock Sunday night
was preached by Father Gleason, his
subject being "The End of Man." In
other words: "Why God Created U.s."
His exposition was as clear as 1t was
forceful. and all who have had the
privilege of listening to his words were
not only highly pleased. but deeply i'm
pressed.

Minneapolis Baptist ministers yesterday
passed resolutions extending their sym
pathy to Rev. w. B. Riley and condemn
ing the misrepresentation to which the
pastor in question has been subjected by
some of the papers for his prayer at the
anti-imperialist meeting at the Lyceum
theater a week ago tonight.
Mr.. Riley last night sent the following
personal statement to a Minneapolis
paper:
Now that so much has been said in your
columns concerning the prayer made by
me at the Lyceum Tuesday of last week,
trust you will be just enough to permit
me to speak to the public few words,
setting before them, in dispasslonate
speech, both what 1 said at the Lyceum,
and what was meant by it. The first re-
part Of the prayer which was expressed
in these words: I'VE cannot ask Thee
that our soldiers in the Philippines may
be successful against the enemy, for we
we do pray for the preservation of our
soldiers, and for the speedy coming of
such peace as shall make possible their
return to home and friends"
1t is to be supposed that the author of a
prayer, If he is at all intelligent, knows
what he means when he voices himself TO
God. What l meant to express was this
that my heart did not cry for further
shedding of blood in the Philippines, and
that I did not believe God desired it,
supposed it altogether possible that God
had other ways of ending this war than
to do it by additional slaughter. 1t never
occurred to me for one moment that any
man who believes this war un-American
and destruction of the enemy there 1t is
hardly likely that 1 prayed for the over
throw of our armies, or their defeat, when
the press reported at first my prayer for

Iard visited the Bijou theater Sunday
evening, and returning to her home Sc.

IT, she notified the family of what She

neve her. Suddenly the poison began
to take effect and she began to writhe
with pain. An emetic was given her
out TOO late to prove beneficial, and In
few hours she expired
There is no doubt that the girl had
been contemplating suicide for some
time. A letter was found by the doctor
some time ago, in which Miss Ballard
said she expected to take her life on
Dec. T. by taking laudanum The letter
was found in time, however, to save her
from her intentions, but last night the
family had no idea of what she was
about to do when she returned from the
theater She was about nineteen years
OLD and her relatives are said to reside
In harrington. 1t is understood that a
sister will take charge of the remains.
