ton W in this county do not re-
gard the staple as seriously hurt by

INTERSTATE QUARANTINE
The Right Upheld by the Federal SUI
preme Court

Washington. April 22.-The attention
of the United States supreme court
was given today largely to the ques-
ton of the right of one state to quar-
antine against another. The conten-
ton arose in connection with the case
of w. p. Smith against the ST. Louis
and Southwestern Railroad Company,
involving quarantine regulations
against the importation of cattle in
1897.
The cattle shipment upon which this
case turned was made by Smith over
the St. Louis road from Plaindealing,
La. TO Fort Worth, Texas, the Of
ficialS of the road not being aware that
a quarantine had been established, as
had been done py Texas officials. When
the existence of this restriction be-
came known to the railroad company
it refused to deliver the stock to the
conSignee and re-Shipped them to
Plaindealing. Smith refused to re-
ceive them, IS he also did the pro-
CeedS of their sale.
Smith ten brought suit for damages,
contending that the regulations We're
IN interference with Interstate COM
merce n unjustified by the facts.
The trial court sustained this regula-
ton. but the state court of appeals re-
versed the decision, holding in favor
of the railroad company. Today's
opinion affirmed the latter decision OH
the ground hat the state had a right
under its police power to protect itself
against infectious disease. even though
may be incidentally inter
fered with by the regulations for such
protection. Justices Harland and
White united in a dissenting opinion
and Justice Brown delivered a dis
senting opinion of his own.

way in which to limit the numbers of

A small premium offered to small boys

result in great destruction. AS boy
we have had more real fun, stimulated
by the pennies earned, in hunting for
sparrows' nests than In any other form
of boyish sport. In the winter season,
when the snow is upon the ground, by
clearing off strip back of the barn
about ten feet wide and twenty feet
long, and there batting the birds for a
day or two and watching your chance,
one can with double barreled shotgun
loaded with No. 10 shot make an awful
slaughter by firing one barrel at them
on the ground and one just as they rise.
We have known two or three expert
ences of this sort to practically drive
the birds from the homestead. The
feeding of grain soaked in poison solu-
ton is as general thing a failure. The
birds are too shrewd. The destruction
of the nests and persistent shooting will
do much to mitigate this nuisance.
