WHAT DOES THE
AMENDMENT MEAN /?

Are Terms Expiring January, 1901
Extended One Year?-If So,
Then State Election Just Held
is ofno value Attorney Gener-
al Remley Asked for an opinion.
Des Moines Daily Capital.
The Titus amendment appears
to be loaded for bear. When Rip
Van Wrinkle awoke from his twenty
years sleep and begun to get up
he said, "Whenever l move new
way, / feel a new pain" When
ever the Titus amendment is
looked at in o new way an addition
al discovery is made. 1t was in.
tended by the amendment to ex-
tend the terms of those county
and state officers whose terms ex-
pire in the year 1901 shall have
their terms extended one year. In
vestigation shows that the officers
now holding office and whose
successors we're elected in the year
1900, do not retire and give place
to their successors until the first
Monday in January, 1901. Hence,
their terms expire i'll 1901 and
according to the terms of the
Titus amendment, their terms
would be extended one year. A
liberal Interpretation of the Titus
amendment, therefore, would ex-
tend the Offices of Attorney Gen.
eral Remley, Secretary Dobson,
Treasurer Heriott, Auditor Mer-
riam and one supreme Judge and
would have the same kind Of effect
on county officers, extending the
terms of recorders, clerks, etc.
The county recorder of Madison
county, has applied to the attorney
general for his opinion in regard
to the matter and wants to know
if he holds over another year as
his term expires in 1901. These
new discoveries in regard to the
operation of the amendment have
created decided excitement
among the politicians and lawyers.
However, it is believed that Attor-
ney General Remley will render
an opinion that officers whose
terms expire at the close of 1901
and not those whose terms expire
at the beginning of 1901 are those
affected by the terms of the Titus
amendment. lie the attorney gen.
eral renders such an opinion he
will save the state from great
degree of demoralization. OF
course everybody knows what
Senator Titus was aiming at, but
sometimes Supreme courts are dis
posed to consider statutes and con-
stitutions in accordance with what
is said and not what is meant.
1t is supposed that the attorney
general will render his decision
in time to prevent the great con-
fusion which the new interpreta-
tion would put the state in.
fit is construed that the amend
ment extends the term of the offic-
ers who would go out in January,
1901, and there being no election
next year and the amendment not
extending those terms which ex-
pire on January l, 1902, then one
half of the state and county Offices
would be vacant in 1902.
The Chicago packers add one cent per
pound to the price of meats. From

packer. But how about the other

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and prescrib
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to he constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken

constructed a patent or folding rack.
This worked very well for some time,
but at last the sheep grew cunning,
and If left open enough so they could
reach it at all they would still pull the
hay out and get it under their feet. The
trouble with the patent rack is there Is
not enough manger room, so conceiv-
ed the idea of combining the wings OF
the folding rack with the manger room
of the old rack, as shown on the ac-
companying diagram. This proves so
far to be a great success. The hay Is
simply thrown on top of the two large
wings.
