MuIlan In a Suit at LeMars.

Des Moines, March 10.-Attorney
General Mullan has gone to LeMars to
represent the state in an action against
the county of Sioux to compel it to pay
for the support of John Langenhorst
an insane patient sent to the hospital
at Independence in 1888. Up to 1894
the county paid for the support of Lam
genhorst, expanding therefor $780,
Then, on the ground that the patients
legal residence was not in Sioux county
when he was committed, 1t refused to
meet the support, and in order to re-
cover what it had already paid held
back a part of what was due the state
for the support of other insane patients
sent from the county sufficient to make
UP the $3.50. The contention of the
state is that Langenhorsts residence
was in the county when he was COM
mitted, and the suit is to compel the
county to pay for the full amount of
Laneenhorsts support since he was
committed.
Langenhorst was committed from
Sioux City. where he had been work
ing a short time, not sufficient to give
him legal residence there. His fam
ily was in O'Brien county, tho he voted
in Sioux county. Under Auditor Nc
Carthy Attorney General Remley was
directed to bring suit The case was
never tried Inasmuch as Sioux county
is interested, it has been taken to Ply
mouth county on a change of venue,
tho begun in Sioux county. The sole
question involved is one of fact as to
the patients legal residence.

Mr.. Mullan held the slight error in
in the copy of the articles
as first presented was not sufficient
ground for refusing to permit them to
be filed. On the more important point,
that the articles were not accompanied
by the recording fee, he held there was
nothing in the statutes that hequired
foreign corporation to pay recording
fee for filing articles. 1t has been the
practice of the secretary of states Of
flee to charge a recording fee. This
practice will probably be abandoned
hereafter. Secretary Martin has asked
for an opinion in writing bearing on
the questions involved, as guide to
the adjustment of future cases of this
kind.
The fact that '.- articles have been
filed as if accepted when first pre-
sented, bearing the date of last Mon
day. settles the question as to payment
of the filing fee The fling is under
the old corporation law and not under
the new Wilson measure. Consequent
IN the corporation is required to pay
but $4,000 instead of S7,515.
Articles We're filed Saturday with the
secretary of state as follows:
Novelty Wood Works of Waterloo.
Capital. $4,000.
Denmark Independent Telephone
Company. Capital, $4,000.

THE STEAM BOATS.
A Couple of Weeks Will See Them or
the River.

Davenport March 10.-The river
men are not anxious to jump into the
river with their boats for some time
vet, altho the ice is out. In many
places it has stuck to the banks. and
there are some goodly slabs of ice that
are floating down to the melting line.
and these are further obstacles of
navigation. 1t will be some time be-
fore the packers get to running, and
the tow boats have counted on begin
ming work only by April l.. and as
they planned their work accordingly
last fall they will scarcely feel like
going into the river until the Ice has
altogether disappeared. Then again
the river men are charry about boat
ing in March. March weather is more
unstable than some peoples temper.
II have been boating eleven years,
said one of them Saturday, and 1
would good deal rather hug the stove
in March than any shore ever heard
off, That seems to be the general
feeling among the rivermen.
OF course this hesitation about go
ing on the river will not keep the
boats off the water long, especially If
the weather becomes at all settled.
The packets will get to running as
soon as it seems safe. The ferry will
probably prove the first boat that will
get into service this year, and 1t will
be out in day or two.

O'Neill, an aged man who has been
living all alone in a small cottage in

da He was taken into custody Satur-
day afternoon.
He is not violent. but has visual and
auricuar Authorizations. He is a man
OF about so years of age, and his de-

means apparently sufficient to keep
him in comfort. He is a native of Ire
land, and was a forty miner" one of
the argonauts who rocked a cradle in
the gold bearing streams of California
in the first rush of 1S49. He was I'M
married, and after life of wandering
he finally located in Sioux City to
spend his last days.
Fills hermit-lil,e life and the fact that
he had money gave rise to the rumor
that he was wealthy and boarded gold
in secret recesses of his cellar and
house. Two or three years ago. while
he was away from the house, some peo-
pie of the neighborhood. excited by
cupidity and curiosity, entered his
house and searched every crack and
Granny for the supposed hidden treas
ure. They found $40 in bills and that

streams and tributaries are nearly all
clair of ice, and it now remains for the
