raAT"PULLMAN" BILL.

The following is short description,
published in the Rocky Mountain News.
of the fate of Representative Smiths
bill No. "A known as the Pullman" bill. o..
1t was to have regulated the charges for
sleeping berths on Pullman sleepers.
The article is rather ambiguous and
seems to be endeavoring to tell tale
between the lines. From the comment
made by Representative Ballinger, it is
evident that someone in the senate or in
the hous, was doing some underhand
work.
Another measure that started on its
career with myriad of friends met a
fearful fate in the hands OF the commit
tee on revision and constitution. 1t was
known on the calendar az H. B. No. "A,
but to the members generally as Tho
Pullman bill" Its ought TO regulate the
charges for Pullman service within the
state. Referred to the corporations com
mittee, it lay there in state OF coma for
weeks. One day it was reported out,
and with the report came rumor that
member OF the committee had tried to
hold up the Pnllmnn people for sup
preston of the bill, and the representa-
tive of that company had been more
forclble than polite in his answer. Com
mendable activity was shown in getting
the bill through second reading and IN
to the bands Of the committee on revis-
ION. The revision committee held 1T
several days and its friend on the cor
poration committee asked for it.
"We have been told" said Chairman
Ballinger of the committee, that the
bill is unconstitutional.
SIS WHAT" gasped the friend.
"Now, don't say it, replied MIR. Bal
linger, "but a member of my committee
says it is unconstitutional. We have
not looked further yet"
But that was merely an evasion.
What had been told by Mr., Montgom-
cry, and that statesman's Information
was to the effect that the bill was to be
forced through the house and got into
the senate, and that u member was to
get $4,000 for killing it in there.
Some time later Mr.. Ballinger receiv
ed another demand for the bill. Now
| IL tell YOU" he replied, "you better let
that bill alone. l have been told it is
Intended for u hold-up. II you don@
want to create disagreeable scene in
the house you will let this bill drop.
There are afiidavts being prepared to
show the no dup intended"
The bill passed quiet existence
thenceforward until the last night of
the session, Then Mr.. Ballinger discov-
cred it had been stolen from his desk.
But the theft had no effect. The bill
was even then corpse OF the coldest
Sort

DEWEY IN GOOD HEALTH.

ashington-Admiral Van Reypen,
surgeon general of the navy, said today
that all the recent reports received from
Manila showed that Admiral Dewey was
in excellent health. The surgeon of
theBoston has recently arrived back
from Manila station and the surgeon
general specially inquired of him as to
Admiral Dewey's health. The response
was most satisfactory, showing that from
the standpoint of naval surgeon, close
ly identified with the admiral, he was
in AS good health as cou be expected
in such a climate.

DEATH FROM DISEASE
DIAGNOSED AS LEPROSY

Columbus, GA special to the State
journal from junction City, o., says:
Hannah Carey, aged % years, the old
er of two Carey sisters who have been
afflicted with supposed leprosy for the
past seventeen years, died at her home
three miles from here last evening, after
two weeks Of intense suffering, the re-
suit Of the dread disease invading the
vital organs probably the heart and
lungs Probably two months ago the
Carey sisters were examined by prom
inent specialist on that class of diseases,
from Chicago, who diagnosed their dis
ease as genuine leprosy
There is younger sister, II years OF
age, also suffering from the disease.
The mother and three brothers are ap-
parently clean. The family lives on an
isolated farm in Perry county. which is
Stunned by all the natives; no one can
be persuaded to put foot within the linn

became afflicted with the disease and
only theory is that it came from the
father, who died some time ago and was
supposed to have contracted it in the
south during the war.

a decisive movement. According to a
prisoner captured by our troops,
AguiraldO has announced that he will
personally conduct the reserves at
MalolOs and march into Manila with

withdraw in the meantime. The con-

above statement. AdviceS received

LEGAL VALUE OF A KISS.
Nentucky Court Declares 500 Not
TOO High, AZ Not Chcapened by
HnhSnn

kentucky Court Declares 800 Not
TOO High, AZ Not Chcapened by
! HObsOn.
The Kentucky court of appeals to-
lay decided that 500 was not an ex-
tessive price to pay for kissing a mar
ned woman against her will. William
Ragsdale, a citizen of Trigg county,
called on his neighbor, James Ezell.
Fhe neighbor was away from home,
but his wife was there. and she looked
so pretty that Ragsdale just could not
resist the temptation, SO he grabbed her
and stole several kisses.
Mrs. Eel told her husband, and was
Frustrated for several days from the
effects of the neighborly hugging and
kissing
Instead of making gunplay for the
kisser, Col. Ezell joined his wife in a
suit for 5000 damages. On the trial
Ragsdale swore he never kissed her or
touched her, but Mrs. Ezell said he
did. and the jury believed the woman
and gave her verdict for 800.
Ragsdale appealed the case, and in
the decision handed down by Judge
Guffy, of the court of appeals, to-day,
the court holds, as a matter of law,
mat JURY, DtluS VI tit
Tedibility of witnesses, and having
found in favor Of the woman, the court
would not disturb the verdict.
After the judges left the bench Judge
Guffy said that he thought 500 was a
tribe dear but the court Of last resort
was pOwerless to cut down the price,
rs no error was committed in the trial
below. He also said that he had in
sisted that the court allow him to in
clude in his opinion statement to the
effect that in such suits hereafter the
woman must prove clearly that she
had never kissed Hobson, and disap-
proved of all such public kissings; but
the majority of the judges, while they
agree to this proposition, thought 1t
best not to include it in the present
opinion.
SO it is Of semi-officlal record that
the Kentucky court of appeals is dead
against the HobSon style Of osculation
and really believes that 500 per kiss is
a fair price.-Frankfort (KyD Special
