IMPORTANT DECISION
Especially to Those Who Hold Mortgages
Signed by Husband and
Wife.

indianapolis, Nov. THE doctrine
that Il married woman is not bound by
mortgage executed by her for the
benefit of her husband was given an
extreme application by the supreme
court Wednesday. William Liberenz
and his wife mOrtgaged some land
which they owned Jointly, and he used
most of. the borrowed money in build
ing Il livery stable on Il lot which be-
longed to some men with whom he had
a contract to build it.
Afterward he and his wife made the
necessary affidavit and procured IL de-
duction from the taxable value of their
land on account of the mortgage. Then
the owner of the lot on which it was
built conveyed the livery stable to
Mrs. LiberenZ in exchange for some
of her husbands land that was heavi-
ly mOrtga ged, and she sold it for ST.
600. subject to liens that had been filed
against ii.
Notwithstanding this. the court held
that she was not bound by the mort
gage she had given. and since the mort
gagged land was owned Jointly. neither
was her husband bound and the mort
gagee recovered nothing but n per-
Sonal Judgment against the husband

VIEWS
ON THE ELECTION
Commoner Sees in Outcome a Di-
vided Victory With Demo-
cratic Gains.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. I'm the next
issue of The Commoner W. ]. Bryan
will say: Election returns Indicate
a divided victory. In some states
Democrats have made gains, but in
most state Republicans have held
their own and made gains. New York
is so close that both. Coler and OdeU
claim victory. The south has mage
Democratic gains. while in western
states the trend has sbeen toward the
Republicans, when there has been n
change.
In Ohio the Democratsic defeat was
most pronounced in Cincinnati. where
the Mclean machine openly fought
Tom Johnson. Let not the friends of
reform be discouraged. Republicans are
not defending any great principles.
They are simply seizing upon improved
industrial conditions, for which they
are in no wise responsible

M. A. C. PROFESSOR DYING
He Has Been More Than Forty Years Pro-
fessor Of Chemistry In the
College.

Lansing, Mich, Nov. 7.-Dr. Robert
Clark Kedzie, dean of the faculty of
the Michigan Agricultural college, and
for more than forty years professor of
chemistry at that institution, has been
long at the point of death at his home
on the college campus for the last
fortnight. Several months ago DIR. Ked-
Zie suffered n severe stroke of pa
ralysis. He rallied in a short time, but
in September was attacked by bron-
chitis. Gradually other complications
set in, and because of his advanced age
he has been unable to rally.
His vitality has been remarkable.
The manner in which he has clung to
life has been Il surprise to the attend
ing physicians. He is over 30 years
old and has long been regarded as one
of the countrys foremost chemists and
Sanitarians. He has been president of
the American Public Health associa-
ton and of the Michigan state board
of health.

SEVERE RELAPSE
FOR THE GOVERNOR
Return of High Fever Follows
Diet of "Junket
Food"

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 7.-After re-
naming about 1O1 all day, Gov Yates
fever increased to 103 2-5 at Z o'clock
last night, and the patient suffered a
vomiting spell that is not considered
beneficial to his condition. No cause
is assigned for the sudden change. In
the opinion of DR.. Taylor the Junk
et'' diet turned the governors stom-
ach. If the patients stomach will
not retain the ''junket food on
which the governor has dieted for
several days, it will be necessary to
make change at once.
DIR. Taylor said that the governors
stomach has been much more irrita-
bic than for the past several days.
During the day the patient was ra-
tional, but he became delirious in the
evening.

No Cnuse For Alarm. .

Rev. Mr.. Brown, a man of less than
medium stature. possessed a high,
squeaky voice. Not long ago he was
invited to exchange pulpits with a
minister in a neighboring city. The
church in which he was to preach was
much more imposing than the home
chapel, says Lippincotts Magazine.
Arriving early, he peered from behind
the pulpit and watched what he con-
sidered an immense congregation with
trepidation.
AS the last notes of the organ volun-
tary died away his little head popped
up from behind the desk. and without
word of warning he piped out, 1T is

THOSE BOUNDARY MARKS
Lieut.. Emmons. Who Has Been Looking
for Them, Has RePOrted-Probably
Not Found.

Washington, Nov. q. Lieutenant
George T. Emmons. L. s. N, retired,
has made to the secretary of state his
report upon the results of his investiga-
ton along the Alaskan boundary of
certain stories which have found fire.
quent repetition in late years to the
effect that monuments have been dis
covered marking the real boundary line
between Alaska and the British north
west territory ut a point many leagues
farther from the sea than the British
have been willing to admit. Lieuten-
ant Emmons was selected for the work
of inquiry because he was thoroughly
familiar with the country in which the
supposed boundary stones exist.
He spent much of the past summer
in the region and now has reached Il
conclusion. The state department at
this time Will not make the report
public The inquiry is regarded as but
one chapter in Il long series of inves-
tigations which have been going on
for the past ten years under the au-
spices of the state department. 1t is
said that the department has investi-
gated promptly every rumor bearing
on the existence of boundary monu-
ments which presented the least ap-
pearance of plausibiiity.
Lieutenant Emmons declares that he
has not breathed word of the nature
of his conclusions to any one except
the officials here in Washington. Still,
it is regarded as n fair conjecture
that he has not found the stones re-
ported to exist to he boundary monu-
ments. else the state department would
regard it as incumbent on it to take
steps to bring that fact TO the atten-
ton of the British governn - with a
view to securing Il rectification of the
present temporary boundary. Instead
Of doing this the report has been re-
ferred to ex-Secretary John w. Fos-
ter and Senator Fairbanks for their
information. They are members of
the high joint commission which was
charged with the settlement Of the
Alaskan boundary question, among
many other important matters.
