OLD CASE AGAIN DECIDED.
Bonds For Private Purposes Not
Made Valid by Legislation.
SUCH BONDS DECLARED VOID.

st. Louis, April 15.-"A legislature
cannot make private purpose pub
lie purpose by its mere fiat, is one OF
the main points in an opinion handed
down by the United States court OF
appeals. The case was that of w. S.
Dodge against the township of Mission,
Shawnee county, Kans., appealed from
the United States district court of
Kansas by Dodge. The action was
brought by him on coupons cut from
township bonds issued under an act of
the Kansas legislature to encourage
the erection of mills and the manafac-
ture of sugar and syrup of sorghum
cane, an authorizing townships and
| cities of the second and third class to
subscribe for stock in such sugar fac
tories and to vote bonds for this pur-
pose. Under the act, every company
receiving the benefit of the bonds was
required to retain 10 cents from the
purchase price of every ton of cane,
and pay it over to the treasurer Of the
township, to be applied in the payment
of these bonds The act declared that
all mills receiving such aid were public
mills and should manufacture the
sugar or syrup for customers who
furnished cane, and that they might
charge toll for this manufacture.
Under this act the township of Mission
issued thirty bonds at $500 each on
September 16, 1890. OF these, Dodge
bought twenty-five, and payment was
refused on the coupons. He brought
suit, and to his allegations demurrer
was filed and sustained that they
were insufficient in law to uphold his
case.
The appellate court affirmed this
decision, and in the opinion. said:
The promotion of the construction
and operation of mills and factories to
manufacture sorghum cane into sugar
and syrup is a private and not public
purpose. The power of legislature
to levy or authorize the levy of tax
and to create and authorize the crea-
tion of public debt to be paid by
taxation is limited to it's exercise for
public purpose.
Township bonds issued for this
purpose, and the act of March l, 1889,
authorizing their issue, are beyond the
power of the legislature and the town
ship and are void"

Ellsworth, Kans., April 10.-BishoI
Walden, who has been presiding at the
annual Northwest conference of the
Methodist church which has adjourned,
wants to see the American flag in
every church. He stopped in the mid
die OF his address and looked inquiring-
ly about the pulpit.
What are you looking for?' asked
some one.
"Old glory" replied the bishop. 1T
ought to be in the Sunday school, and
ought to be wreathed about the pulpit.
Not to teach politics or to unite church
and state, but to teach us and impress
upon us that under the flag we have
civil and religious liberty"

Aphis Is Now Harmless.

Guthrie, OKLA, April 15.-The report
of great damage to the wheat in Okla

both territories is the most promising

ginning to turn green in the spring.

A Practical Tie LIN.

Havana, April 15.--The Cuban consti-

record against the Platt amendment
by vote of is to 10 on resolution
that the convention. should declare
itself opposed to the amendment, on
account of the terms of some of the

much as it practically ties the hands
of any commission that might be sent
to Washington.

Figuring on Chinese Resources.

Pekin, April 15.-The committee OF
ministers which is considering China's
final resources has reached the conclu-
sion that 100000, 900 in gold can be
raised without injuring China's re-
sources. The examination is thus far
incomplete and it will probably sub
sequently learn that other Chinese
openly express their desire that the
foreign troops leave Pekin. They are
seemingly as anxious for the
departure as were the besieged minis
ters anxious for the arrival of troops.

AMERICAN BEEF EXCLUDED,
A Sequel to tho Enjolning of shipment of
Horses and Mules.

Washington, April l3.-The depart
ment of agriculture has received dis
patch from Swift Il Co., of Chicago,
announcing that they have been
advised that the English government
has excluded all beef except home bred
from the British army contract. This,
it is stated, is to be effective June |
next.
Swift & Co. ask the agricultural de-
partment for any assistance it can
render 1t is pointed out that the
action of the British government is
severe blow to American beef and
cattle producers, and means not
alone and loss in government trade,
but it is feared it will serve very ma
terially toward melting a prejudice on
the part of the people of Great Britain
against the beef and cattle of this
country
No official information of this re.
ported contemplated move has reached
the department, according to state
ments of officials Steps have been
taken, however, looking to acquiring
whatever information it is possible
to get.
To demonstrate the importance OF
the move now said to be contemplated,
.it is pointed out that the value of our
exports of live animals to Great Britain
amounts to $40, 900, 900, while the total
of animal products exported from the
United States to Great Britain is stated
to be, in round numbers, 5000, 900, 600.

Everybody looks upon a Kodak now

them, and many more are dissatisfied
with the results from their cameras.
The perverted aphorism, "There is no
Kodak but an Eastman Kodak is q
true one. You are absolutely secure in
buying n article in Photographic ap-
planes when the name Eastman
shows as manufactures. Thoroughly
reliable and the best of material, they
always give the best Of satisfaction.

gift in this land of u~nrivalled scenery
than a KODAK to those who do not
already possess one. or, having a cam
era by some less careful manufacture,
are dissatisfied with its results.
