A Chicago woman secured warrant
for her husbands arrest on the ground
that he wants to marry two other
women. This brings up an important
noint. The Chicago man may be wrong
in wanting to take two extra wives, but
can a man be legally restrained from
wanting to do something that he hasn't
done?

In these days when women are do
Ing all sorts of things it is well to re-
mind them that there are some things
they can't do. F9r Instance. The ad-
justment Of the female clavicle makes
1t physically impossible for a woman
to throw a missile with either accuracy
or grace. Nature, doubtless, never in
tended that she should throw things at
the other sex. Another thing. Few
women-bless 'em-know how to get off
q street car in the orthodox fashion.
street car conductor will give his bell
rope a couple of jerks to tell the mo-
torman to go ahead as soon as man
puts his foot on the lower step-as to a
woman, never. She is all too likely to
get off backwards or straight in front
or any old way. Even women have
their limitations.
One of the Iowa Legislatures sins of
omission was It's failure to pass the
bill to prohibit seining and other SINH
lar methods of taking fish in the border
rivers. The bill was defeated because
the seine fishermen made vigorous
fi~ht against 1t. The argument that
had weight with the Legislature was
that the bill aimed to destroy the inter-
ests of the men who fish for a liveli-
hood and was in the interests of the
sportsmen who caught only few fish.
This strange argument actually car
ried the day. Several of the seiners
employ from fifteen to twenty men each
to drag the rivers. 1t is only matter
of time when the supply will be ex-
hausted, just as the game supply was
ruined by the lack of adequate game
laws. Sportsmen believe that the sup
ply of fish will be exhausted within
five years at the present rate, and it is
feared that the rivers will have to be
restocked when the next Legislature
meets. Although the Legislature re-
fused to forbid SEEMING 1t increased the
appropriation for the game and fish
warden from $1,000 to $4,000 and gave
him additional powers to enforce the
law. The warden has complained in
the past that he was unable to employ
sufficient help to enforce the law. The
additional appropriation should be ade-
uuate and it is hoped that he will pre-
vent the reckless slaughter out of sea-
son which has been VIGOROUSLY COM
mon in Iowa.

A Distinguished Caller.

Major John NJ. Burke, ahead of Buff
falo Bills wild West. and man who
is a type of the jovial Westerner, was
a caller at the Leader office last night.
bearing with him special message of
assurance to the people of Marietta
that the exhibition he represents is all
right and just as advertised.
Major Burke IS al old Indian fighter,
and his personality smacks strongly of
the plains.
OF the Cossack feature of the Wild
West Major Burke says:
people throughout the country are
manifesting more interest in the big
eXposition-it's no. show any
more--than at any time since Col
onel Cody embarked in tn business.
This is due in large measure to the
fact that we have the only Cossacks
outside of Russia and that the people
are able to see for themselves the kind
of men who are fighting with the al
Ned army in the kingdom of Confucius
Christians. Moreover, we present ac-
curate types CT lne EnSliSn, GeTndIl

view a living picture, as it were,, oil

great powers which are moving in uni

Roosevelt's Index of a Frontier
Towns Development.

"The first time I ever saw Theodore
Roosevelt was back in the early eight
ies," said a man who used to live in
the West. 81 met him on sleeping car
coming east from Wyoming, where he
had been visiting his ranch on the
edge of the Bad Lands. | found him a
burly young man with heavy brown
beard, which he had allowed to grow
during his trip, and with manners that
were nervous and abrupt, but never
theless very engaging. There were
eight or 10 passengers on the car, rep
resenting the usual wide variety of
type to be found on the frontier, and l
remember that Roosevelt easily took
the lead in conversation. His versa
tality and the extent of his informa-
ton was astonishing, and there was a
vein of quaint humor that ran through
his talk Somebody remarked, for in
stance, that he had recently visited a
new mining camp in the Black Hills
and had to pay 50 cents for a drink of
execrable whisky.
"'You can always determine a
camps age and stage of development
by the price charged for drinks, said
Roosevelt, chuckling. 'Four-bit whis-
ky means recent occupation, unsettled
condition, and the presence of one half
barrel which some fellow brought over
the trail on burro. Two-bit whisky
means that the regulation boom is on,
that tenderfeet are plenty, and that
regular communication with the out
side world has been established The
next drop of three for half is not a
sign of a slump but merely shows that
the first excitement has passed and the
town is getting down to what they call

that a stampede has set in for the next
diggings. That's the way to read the

Partial Report on Census Of
the Yukon.

Consul MeCook at Dawson City
says: "The census of the Yukon ter
ritory, taken last April, shows an in
crease in the population of Dawson
City of nearly 1000 since September,
1899. The population of the whole
Yukon district, however, has decreased
2000 We have an ample supply of
good water now, pumped from artes-
ian wells and pped to stores and
houses at a cost to the buyer of from
81 to s5 per MONTH large restaurants
and saloons are charged $40 to SIS and
hotels $25. The town Is beginning to
look busy, as is usual at this season of
the year, many of the mines having
begun sluicing, which makes money
more plentiful.
"There is not the disposition prev
alent in former years to squander hard
earned money, but the temptations re-
main the same. There are no places
for the miners to go for innocent rec
reation, so they naturally flock to the
gambling halls, which are made invit-
ing enough.
Gambling is not looked upon in
this community as a crime, but as a
pastime, and it is no uncommon sight
to see employer and employe at the
same table; lawyers and their clients,
bankers and bank clerks all patronize
the tables, and 1t was only lately that
the head of large trading company
lost S2t 900 in a single night"

Soldiers Monument. .

Some inquiry having been made as
to the height OF our soldiers monu-
ment, we give short sketch of the en-
terprise and we find upon referring to
the records of the Monument Associa-
tion, now in the Office of Mr.. S. J.
Hathaway, that the association was
formed June 7, 1865; A. r. Darrow.
Chairman, and r. M. Stimson, Secre-
tary. Up to August 19, 1868, they had
collected and raised in various ways
the sum of $2,S9O, which by August 12,
1878, had, under the management OF
the treasurer, Hon. W. F. Curtis, in
creased to the sum of $3,S61,13. At the
annual meeting held on that date a
Gen. r. r Dawes and Col. R. L. Nye,
was appointed to procure bids for a
monument Three bids were received: /:
n. o'Hare. $3.50; Patterson, Garfield
& Co., $1,000, and National Fine Art
Foundry, three bids ranging from
s4,6s0 to $1,000. After some modifca-
lions of the O'Hare designs, the com
mittee selected Mr. o'Hare's bid al
$4,000
On the question of location the
Trustees were somewhat divided en-

Important Oil Decision.

The case of C. C. Dufield and other
Pittsburgers against A. A. Michaels
and others, which was disposed of in
he court of appeals at Richmond, Va,
Monday. when Judge Jackson, of che
lower court, which was in favor of the
defendants, was reversed, was one
which oil men followed with good
deal of interest.
While drilling for the plaintiff com
pany, Michaels, the defendant, took a
cave over theirs on an alleged for
ieiture of the lease by the nonpayment
If $40 rental, and for the professed
purpose of protecting himself for pay
ment for drilling the well.
The opinion of the court of appeals
written by Judge Nathan Goff, pro-
nounces this lease fraudulent and
!oid' and scores the defendant and
Lewis Virgin, the owner of the farm
FOR misrepresentation and deceit
The property consists of 100 acres
in Peasants county, West Virginia
and is now producing about 40 barrels
l day from the II wells drilled by the
receiver for the protection of the farm
lines.
The first well was drilled by the de-
fendant company two years ago, but
the property was taken from it and
placed in the hands Of receiver be-
fore any oil was run from it,
The main point contained in the
opinion is that a contractor cannot

ton to the detriment of the owners,
and TO further his own interests by Sc
curing a subsequent lease on the same
property.
The contractor was simply an agent
for the developers of the lease when

the sand for stipulated sum-
