The wild goose is susceptible to a
certain amount of domestication. II
readily consorts with the tame f1ocks,
learns that no harm is intended and
will come to feed as readily as its
companions. 1t never loses its in
born desire for wandering, however,
and in autumn and spring will honk
constantly to bands of former COM
panions passing over in migration.

''There has never been n time when
the coatless man has not been found
with us. He is to be found in the
mills and factories; in the fields and
the mines-everywhere indeed, where
hard labor is expected of mankind.
He does not stop to ask what conven-

coat, collar or vest. He just takes
them off, says the Philadelphia Inquir-

New Zealand was the first country
In the world to Introduce Il system of
state pensions for its old and needy
people-that is to say. every man and
woman who has attained the age of
GJ years and has resided for - years
in the colony is entitled to Il pension
of about S1.15 per week. The sum ne
cessaly for this purpose has increased
in one year by over 100000, and now
something like $95O,00O is required an
nually to pay these pensioners of the
state. Henceforth the amount is to
be taken out of the general revenues
of the country, and how long the col
Ony will be able to bear the strain re-
mains to be seen.

The uselessness of anarchy is tersely
pointed out by the Kansas City Star
as follows: ASSASSINATION of crowned
heads by anarchists has never accom-.
plished anything for the good of So
ciety. The idea that rulers would be
frightened into liberal government
has not proved true. The same de-
gree of Improvement would have
taken place in the goyeri nents of the
world without assassination"

Construe.. cine Pen.Ion LAW.

Des Moines, April 25.-Attorney
General Remley on Tuesday handed
down an opinion to the state board of
control constituting the pension law
passed by the last general assembly
and relating to the pension of members
of the Soldiers Home. The board of
control always declined to use any
part of the pension funds and they ac-
cumulated under the rules of the
trustees requiring all above Sc to be
sent to relatives or given to the state.
The new law, the attorney general
says, requires the pensioners to give
one-half of their pension money to
their dependent relatives if they have
any. The opinion was called out for
the reason that pensioner who had
been sending his extra 81 to his chill
dren in the Davenport home to keep
from giving it to the state wanted to
retain all of his pension, whereas the
law as the board read it and as the
attorney general construes it. forces
him to give half Of it or 81 additional
to his children, altho they do not need
it,

1t Is Not Smallpox.
From TUESDAYS Daily. (.

Grin Dickson, of West Second street
is suffering from a rash, the exact ma
ture of which physicians are at loss
to determine. The attending physi-
clan called the attention of DIR. j. f.
Herrick, physician to the board of
health, to the case, who in turn tele-
graphed the state board of health re-
questing the presence of one of their
number for the purpose of diagnosing
the case and determining whether or
not it is smallpox. DR.. j. I. Kennedy,
to whom the telegram was sent, was
unable to come and sent word to DR..
.Mcklveen, of Charlton, to come. That
gentleman arrived last evening and
made an examination of the patient
but was unable to- determine whether
or not it is smallpox, and left, advising
the local physician to use his best
Judgment in the matter. To be on the
safe side DIR. Herrick has Mr.. Dickson
quarantined and has taken all precau-
tons necessary to prevent an outbreak
should it be smallpox. Mr.. Dickson is
not confined TO his bed and the rash
is very slight. He says that his appe-
tite was never better and says he does
not feel i'll. At the present time no
good reason exists to induce the belief
that this particular case is smallpox.
Even if it happens to be the dreaded
disease the precautions that have been
taken will effectually prevenr it's
spread. At the present time no cause
for alarm exists and local physicians
rather incline to the belief that it is
but a rash probably caused from dis
ordered stomach.
DIR. j. +. Herrick, physician to the
city board of health, was seen by a
reporter this afternoon and gave the
Courier the following signed state
ment:
"We have quarantined No. 427 West
Second street, putting up smallpox
flag. I would say that at present the
patient is but very little sick, but has
an eruptive disease the nature of which
is not very evident. Yesterday, a
member of the state board of health,
DR.. Mcklveen, was called in to see the
case. He was in much the position of
the local physicians, not able to say
positively what the disease was. How
ever, it was thought best to err, if at
all, on the side of safety and the house
has been quarantined to await devel-
opments. There is no danger to pas
sersby on the street or to the public
in general and we hope that the case
will soon be cleared up.

physician to Board of Health"
