Chicago points with pride to the fact

animals, were slaughtered last year in
the stockyards that are located in that
city.
That suicide is "pernicious habit
that obviously tends to shorten life" is
the elegant defense set up by life in
surance company in a recent action on
a policy which expressly excluded liza
bility for such reprehensible habits.

outline. The tunnel will be fifty-three

"A French court has just made deci-
sion that establishes the point in France
that when a bicyclist is attacked by
dog, and In attempting to drive it off
meets with injury, the owner of the dog
is liable. The plaintiff in the case lost
his balance in chastising the dog that
pursued him, fell off, hurt his left wrist
that he was carrying in his pocket. He
claimed damages of $10O, and $40 was
awarded to him.
-NA pending bill for the regulation of
the legislative lobby in Wisconsin is
similar In its provisions to laws on the
subject existing in Massachusetts, Ten
Messee, California, and West Virginia.
The central idea Of the measure is that
lobbyists be registered, but distinc-
tion is made between attorneys who
work openly before committees and the
lobbyists who used third-house methods
The latter are designated as agents. A
separate register is to be provided for
each class, and the penalty suggested
for violation Of the act is a fine of
from s100 to $1,000, and refusal for
three years Of the privilege to lobby.
The Kansas City Star says: The area
eown to winter wheat last fall, accord
ing to the official report, is 100000 |
acres greater than the area harvested. |
IT there should be a corresponding in
crease in the spring wheat area, which |
is not improbable, the aggregate wheat
area will be swelled in 1899 to $4,000, 900 |
acres, which, at the rate of yield report
ed in 1898, namely, 1853 bushels to the
acre. would produce enough wheat to
feed twice the present great population
of the United States. Yet there are
some timid scientific gentlemen who
have undertaken to make the world be-
lieve that mankind Is within sight Of
the time when the bread supplies will
be insufficient to meet the wants of all
the people.
