MAD DOGS.

Every little while the secretary of the
Iowa state board of health is notified
that rabies or hydrophoDia has APP
peared in some locality, traceabie to
some stray dog that had been on the
premises and had been acting strange
ly. Secretary Kennedy notices that
there are intelligent persons who claim
to believe that there is no such a dis
ease as hydrophobia, and this in the
face of reports that would establish the
presence Of any other disease.
He goes on to say that the disease is.
however, not so common in the United
States as in some other countries. 1t is
said that during the last ffty-one years
there We're loo deaths from rabies in
human subjects in England, and that
in France there are 200 cases Of hydro
sphobia among dogs each month--Paris
having on an average two cases a day

ANNUAL AND BIENNIAL ELECTIONS.

Legislatures without opposition and then
suddenly should have been found such Il
bad thing. Nobody cares whether it is
"a bad thing for the political aspirations
of this or that man; the question is.
whether it's a good or bad thing for the
masses of Iowa citizens. Most of them
have that question already settled"
The points urged in it's favor when the
change was proposed Was that it would
reduce the expense of elections to the
people and lessen political agitation and
give the people longer resting spells
between election contests These points

this lessening of agitation would result

Prunier of Burlington, VS.. Mrs. Lillian
Ash OF Fishkil, N. Y, for the alienation
OF the affections of Mrs. Prunier's hus
band, F. ]. Prunier was recently com.
pleted in New York city before Judge
Shipman when the jury rendered a yer.
dict for the plaintiff to recover damages
of SIS 600. ]. E. Cushman of Burling-
ton and ]. c. Ross of New York, second
son of Senator Ross, represented Mrs.
Prunier, while Howe & Hummel of New
York appeared for the defendant. The
case asked $75, 900 damages.
The case occupied three days trial in
the circuit court and furnished considera-
BILE spicy testimony for the New York
yellow journals"
Mrs. Ash was named as co respondent
in suit tor divorce brought by Mrs.
Prunier, which was granted in Chitten-
den County Court. Prunier at this time
was ordered to pay alimony but it is
claimed he has failed to do this and re.
manned outside the state to avoid arrest.
At the last term of the Chittenden
County Court Prunier was idicted by
the grand jury for attempting to kidnap
one oil his children but after being ar
rested and preliminary hearing held in
New York extradtion papers were
blocked and he was not brought to
Vtrm ont and has never had a trial.
The case was sharply contested by the
attorneys for the defendant and LAWYER
Ross is certainly to be congratulated
upon securing the verdict.
