Burlington, Dec. The Hawkeye this
morning prints long article and quotes
authorities to prove that the Titus
amendment is absolutely void. 1t says
the startling discovery of a fatal flaw
in the enactment has been discovered.
The Hawkeyc says:
The constitutional amendment pro-
:viding for biennial elections. introduced
by Senator G. NJ. Titus Of Muscatine, is
dead. A fatal defect in its adoption by
the general assembly has been discov
cred. The Hawkeye got trace last week
of an apparent flaw In the proceedings
in the Twenty seventh general assem-
bly, which, upon investigation confirms
its fears for a measure which 1t ardent
ly supported. There does not seem to be
room for doubt that an error quite SINH
lar, to that which rendered the prohibl-
tory amendment invalid some years ago,
has thwarted the purpose of the two
general assemblies which enacted the
TITUS amendment, and the people who.
lratified It at the polls. And all this la
Dor and worry and expense goes for
l3naught, because of a failure TO observe
the plain, mandatory and easily under
lstood requirement of the constitution
The article then quotes the official
Journals and cites various authorities,
summing up the whole matter as fol-
flows:
Il The constitution required that the
resolution amending that instrument
must be entered at length upon the
journals of each (both) houses.
O. 1t was not so entered in the. house
journal of the Twenty seventh general
assembly.
IS The supreme court has held that
\ this is mandatory and failure to COM
jply renders the amendment null and
| void.
a. Upon rehearing the court reaf-
4 hrmed and reinforced its opinion by
l the statement that where the existing
constitution prescribes method for its
own amendment, an amendment thereto
to be valid must be in strict conformity
Ito that method. Oritting the entering
4 In full of the resolution upon the house
4 journal was a glaring violation of the
prescriptions of the constitution and
renders the amendment invalid.
| ology of the prohibitory amendment
made it invalid, how much greater i'll
1 destructive effect must be the entire
omission of the resolution from the
house journal! The constitution was
4 clearly violated and its requirements
a ignored in the house Of the Twenty
seventh general assembly and conse-
i quently the amendment is of no effect

Webster City, Dec 4.-Phil Renillard

having his right hand amputated at the
wrist. Mr. Renillard is at the head of

sary to remove the whole hand.

Another Suicide Prevented.

Clinton. Dec. 4-There is a mar.
locked up in cell In he city Jail who
Undoubtedly is suffering from delirium
tremens. Saturday afternoon, about $3.50
o'clock, he told a person on the street
that he wanted to find the chief of POI
lice for the purpose of being locked up,
at the same time stating he was era
~. The two walked up the street until
they We're almost in front of the city
hall, when the insane man threw his hat
into the air and let out Yell which
would have done justice to a Fiji island-
ser, about to enjoy a feast on the remains
OF his victim in a combat. Officers Lo-
REM and knutsen We're near and soon
Rad the insane man in their grasp. altho
IL was about all these two strong men
could do to handle their unreasonable
prisoner. The man was locked in a cell
an few minutes later the other prisons
ers called loudly for the officers, and an
showed that the crazy
man had attempted ito hang himself
With his suspenders, which he tied
around his neck and fastened to the top
of the cell. When cut down he was
gasping for breath and was black in the
face The officers then handcuffed their
man, thinking he would make no at
tempt to injure himself While thus hand
icapped. But in this they were mistak-
en-. for he endeavored to butt his brains
out against the ends of the cell. The
man was then fastened to a bench in the
cell and was given an injection of NOR
phine, which soon had the desired eff
feet.
Who the man is the officers have been
unable to learn. as he says he does not
know his name. He is recovering and
in few days will undoubtedly be able
to leave the JAIL altho his mind may be
permanently affected.

cured and when the train reached this
city he was taken in the patrol wagon
to the city Jail. Hisswound is not a seri-
GUS one and 1T Is probable that he will
be able to continue his journey tomor-
row.
Several local Italians have called at
the Jail upon request of Marshal Koz
lovSlSy and have obtained considerable
information from him. Crispi says that
he has lived in this country for eleven
years and has, wife and four children
in italy, whom he was on his way tot
visit. When he reached Omaha he left
the train to procure something to eat,
but ga - the depot was crowded with
people who intended to hold him for his
money. He was frightened and did not
wait to eat anything. He has been fear
full of being held up an when HE Dues
TONERS tried to persuade him to continue
,his journey or return to California he
replied that he will not leave because
everybody is conspiring against him to-
get his money. The physician Who att
tended him says the man is undoubtedly
insane. but that the mental derange-
ime,,t may be only temporary and that
after he has obtained sufficient rest and
quiet he will be in a fit condition to con-
tinue his journey. The steamship on
which Crisp intended to Gail for Italy
leaves New York Thursday and it is
hoped by those interested in his case
that he WILDE able to travel tomor-
row.
IT is not thought there was any mos
tive in his attempt lat self obstruction
by those who have closely questioned
him, nor is 1T thought that the man was
of unsound mind when he left the Pact
jfic coast, but that the fatigue Of the
long journey ard his constant fear of
Losing the sS5 which he had long bean
saving had preyed upon his mind until it
had become unbalanced.

Prayer OF q souhretts.

box In one OF the theaters one evening
and I could see into the wings on the

opera was on, and l saw one Of the
leading women come and take her
stand there In the wings. waiting for
her cue. could see her quite plainly,
and watched her with curiosity, Won
dering II she were not cold In the tights
and thin gauxe Of her scant costume.
The comedian began the long speech,
the last word Of which was to call her
on. She bowed her head, her lips moved,
and thrice she made the sign Of the
cross with devoutness which left no
room for doubt that she was actually
praying. An instant later she had
frisked out on the stage with a laugh
and a dance step and a wink that was
anything but pious. Nobody seeing
her could have dreamed that Just tie
moment before she was actually pray
ing-praying for guidance In her work,
praying for strength to succeed, a.
earnestly and with Just as much faith
and reverence as II she-well. as II she

The Sharks Mouth.

No doubt the sharks mouth is placed
so much beneath the projecting muz-
zle, under which also the nostrils lie,
that 1t may serve its proper purpose in
the best way. In all records of the
habits of the fish we are told that IL
can and does bite out large chunks of
flesh from the dead bodies Of whales
and even from living victims of its at
tacks. and 1t is easily seen that II its
mouth was like that of other fishes the
necessary leverage would he lacking.
A further reason seems to be that the
shark by this peculiar position Of its
mouth is compelled to turn upon its
back to strike and is thus able to de-
liver its onset from below with more
deadly effect.
This formidable strength Of jaw is
backed up by a most terrible array Of
teeth, of which In some species there
are as many as six rows all around.
Each tooth Is saw edged and pointed,
and some of the largest are as much as
two inches In breadth at the base.
These lie fat against the jaws and can
be raised by separate muscles at will,
30 that, as the shark darts upon its
prey, they spring on end, as n cats
claws are stuck out from its paws.
This arrangement will not allow any
thing once bolted to return, so that q
sharks mouth is a veritable death trap.

congressman In the house restaurant

to be a consul for the United States
select a smoky city, one where there
are many factory chimneys. DO not
try for the fashionable capitals. Leave
them for the ambassadors. Go where
the air is murky, for there business is
lively. and many consignment is sent
to the United States. This means fees,
and fees mean a good income for the
consul"
In the course of his chat the con-
gresham made the general statement
that consuls who are making the most
money from fees are the quietest, most
unassuming, accomplishing employees
of the government. "They do not set
up claims for a salary instead of fees"
he said. "Oh, no; but like the wise
boy where the raspberries are thick
they let the world forget, so far as pos
sible, that they are on earth. Let q
consular Office be changed from the fee
to the salary system, and 1t at once
