The right of a widow to remove her

was buried by his own request, is lie
MED in an Iowa case. If the only rea-
son for removal was their disagree
ment respecting a monument and the

entitled to erect a suitable monument
70 him on that lot, but not to place on
1t any reference to the daughter or her
hrst husband, who was buried in the
lot, or to erect a coping around the
lot. The court allowed both parties to
decorate the grave with flowers but
recommended them to exercise a little
Christian charity.
AT the next general election in Irdi-
ana two amendments to the state con-

stands allowing any voter of good
moral standing to practice in any of
the state courts The other amend
ment provides for the reorganization of
the supreme court. making it consist
q not less than five nor more than
eleven judges, who shall hold office for
SIX years. The constitution at present
provides that the court shall consist
OF not less than three nor more than
flve judges. These will be the first
amendments put to the vote since the
adoption Of the constitution in 1851.

On the trial of a young woman in
Pittsburg recently. for the murder of
her mother, the defendant testified that
she had special mandate from heaven
to the effect that her father, who had
died, was lonesome up there and want
ed company. Accordingly, she decided
upon her mother as the most congenial
companion for the dear departed, and
started the old lady upon her long
journey without delay. The jury were
so touched by this act of filial devotion
that they acquitted her.

RISE AND FALL.
Bicycle Prices Fuctuats Greatly From
Year to Year.

1t is interesting to note the rise and
fall Of bicycle prices during the last 81
years. In 1877 well-known high-grade
wheel sold for s92.5O. In six years the
price had advanced to S142.5O. In 1885
the Ordinary" or high wheel, reached
its highest value, and the best grade
sold for $3.50. This price gradually
dropped until in 1887 the best wheel
sold for $3.50. In 1888 the driving
safety made its appearance and sold
for $685. and four years later, when
pneumatic tires were added. the price
was $3.50 From then on the price
steadily declined. Bicycle manufactur-
ers sprung up all over the country like
mushrooms, and in 1897 the best grade
safety sold for 800 and was guaran-
teed for one year. The chainless bicv-
Gle enjoyed its first boom last wear
and this again raised the price to S125
The chain wheel, however, decreased
in price. At the present time the best
chainless Is sold for SIS and the chain
wheel for $50. There are many wheels
on the market that sell for a great deal
less than $50, and as thousands If
these are in use they seem to afford
satisfaction.
