The adjutant generals department
has on file many applications for re-
tirement of officers who have served
thirty years. Under existing law the
president can, at his discretion, retire
such officers, but unless there is a
most excellent reason why an officer
should not be required to remain in
active service all such applica tons
are being refused. 1t is said to be
surprising how many officers of thirty
years service are anxious to leave
the active list.

all of Williston, and 80 were owned
by NJ. V. Willard of Jericho.
Not one of the cattle killed Tuesday
was free from disease. the stages
VARYING from light attacks TO the most
advanced forms. Most of the cattle
were young and many of them came
from herds that had been tested before.
The opinion of the commissioners is
that some of the cattle, at least, be-
came diseased by being fed milk that
came from creameries. In one herd
that has been tested the old cattle and
the vearlings were found to be in per-
feet health while the two-year-olds
were diseased. When the two-year-
olds were young they were fed on
milk that came from a creamery but
later a separator was put in at the
farm and the yearlings were fed on
home milk. This case is pointed to by
the commissioners in support OF their
theory.

1900. Much correspondence between
Page and Livingston was introduced
as evidence.
Mr.. Page admitted that he wanted
the assistance of the Reformer TO sc.
cure delegates to the convention. Re,
ferring to the note held by Livingston,
Page said it was payable in advertis.
/ ing at the option of Page
Livingston testified that he had sent
two bills to Page on account, one foI
500 and one for 5000 He consider.
ed that the work done in the Reformer
was worth at least $500. He favored
Page, although a Democrat himself,
because he expected TO be remunerated
for his work Many things that he
published he would not have, had il
not been for the contract that he sup
posed existed between them.
The suit was decided Friday morn
ing in favor of Gov. Page, as fas as the
bill presented by Livingston for ser
vice and influence of his paper in the
congressional campaign was concern
ed. The verdict was thus directed be-
cause the contract was against public
policy, and therefore void.
IL was also declared that there was
nothing due Gov. Page on the note OF

Judge Rowells opinion on the mo-
ton was a studied and learned paper
He cited a Vermont and Illinois case
in the ''sixties, which bore upon the
present suit as TO the surrounding cir
cumstances and acts of the parties in
this litigation. He reasoned whether
acts like those in the testimony were
contraversion of the public good and
in consonance with the duties of good
citizenship. The plaintiff, Livingston,
testified over and over again that he
was hired for a money consideration,
and supported the candidacy of the de-
PENDANT because of what he was paid.
The Judge alluded 10 the secrecy en-
