DYNAMITE BOMB

A.-dynamite bomb was the chosen
weapon of revenge of a rejected suitor
for the hand of the daughter of Joseph
Kordeck who lived in Chicago.
The cottage in which the family
lived stood two feet from the ground
on posts, on Monday evening and the
seeker of consolation for his wounded
affections placed the dynamite under
meath the house and awaited results,
which must have been all that he
could have hoped for; for the father
and mother of the young lady in
quetsion were killed, small sister
literally scattered in fragments, and
others of the family seriously injured
The house was burned to the ground
as well as that of a neighbor.
Upon arrest the man, whose name
is Charles Smith. declares he is inno-
cent but his neighbors remember his
threats to blow up the whole family
if Miss Nordeck refused him. At any
rate he will probably have to try to
prove himself innocent before he will
be permitted to follow the bent of his
desires further.

affectingsthe public health, done un-
der direction of the State board of
health, with the assistance of able
lawyers. He considered it urgent
that when Necessary to prevent conta-
gion patients should be isolated.
Mr.. Peck of Brandon explained that
small poX was not communicable until
after certain time after the disease
had appeared and for that reason the
isolation of cases tended greatly to
protect the public There is ten
dency to regard smallpox as desirable
The speaker did not think that pa
tients should be allowed to stay at
home and entertain friends.
Judge Baker of Rutland had assist
ed in drafting the bill and while
lawyers disgreed the consensus of
opinion was that the provision was
constitutional.
Mr.. O'Sullivan said that he had I'M
fortunately close acquaintance with
the disease on account of its preva-
lence in st. Adams and had himself
contracted it in the performance of his
duties. There is complaint, at times,
because of the discrimination shown
in the handling of patients in isola-
ton hospitals. AS good authority as
the late E. J. Phelps had said
that if an officer undertook to re-
move his child he would meet
him with revolver at the door. In
his city, the bulk of the legal opinion
was that persons could not be taken
from their homes unless under accusa-
ton of crime. He did not question
the urgency of the matter, but did
consider the constitutionality of the
provision matter of great doubt
Personal liberty, the sanctity of the
home, is of more importance than
even the public health.
Mr. Fish thought that making it
lawful to remove patients when neces-
sary, would solve the question, leav-
ing it discretionary with the officers.
Mr.. O'Sullivan moved to amend so as
to give health officers the right to re-
was not properly observed.
Mr.. Fish and Mr.. Conland objected
on the ground that other necessity
than faulty quarantine might make
isolation advisable, as lack of proper
care, etc. p EfN

| addGrman Frank Smith Meets with a
Serious Accident While Answering
an Alarm. His Story Of the
Events that Followed.

While on its way to fire the sud
den jolting of the hook-and- ladder
truck threw Fireman Frank Smith
from his position on the running
board. He struck the pavement head
foremost and was still unconscious
when brought to the hospital. 1t
was feared by the house physician
that he had received internal injuries
which might prove fatal. Smith is
stationed at the Central Fire Station,
corner Fifth and Valley streets, Bur-
lington, La and in referring to the
accident, he said to a reporter: My
whole system had received a violent
shock which affected my nerves fear
fully. The doctor said | had nervous
prostration. L would often start
trembling out of troubled sleep,
covered with cold perspiration, and
imagining something :. horrible was
about to happen. There would be
times when my whole body would be
numb and then again there would be

DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People have double action-on the
blood and on the nerves. 1t is not
claimed that these pills are a cure-all,

SALARIES OF THE JUDGES.

Editor Daily Journal The bill be-
fore the Legislature to increase the
salaries Of the judges of the Supreme
Court to 81, 600 and some expenses, is
worthy of some consideration.
In fixing the market value of any
commodity, it is sometimes allowable
to inquire what the commodity sells
for in the neighborhood. In view of
this, present for consideration the
salaries of the various judges in sew
eral of the neighboring States:
In Maine "a, 600 with an addition
ofT$1, 800 for an official stenographer
for the personal use of the court !;
Massachusetts C. j. So, 500 and $500
for expenses; New Hampshire with
ten judges, 1.-TWO @. 3D. 50, 800 and all
expenses, assistant judges, 50, 800 and
all expenses; Connecticut, C. j. },
81, 500 and 81, 600 additional for ex-
penses, whether actually expended
or not assistant judges 81, 600 and
$1,000 additional as above; Rhode
Island, &c. j., S., 800, assistant
judges, S., 900; these doing Supreme
Court work only.
1t is difficult to perceive why judges
in this State should not receive as
much salary as in the sister States
above. We will not admit that our
judges are less able, nor will it be
questioned but that they are employed
as much of their time about their
duties as in any sister State.
These men-our judges-could COM
mand in their profession as lawyers
as large an income as the proposed
bill offers. 1t is not enough to say
that there are plenty of men who
would take their places at the present
salary.
Our judges are compelled to work
continuously lin their business, and
while some may think it is only for a
few hours in the day, when they are
actually holding court, that does not
measure the time which they are com.
PEELED to put i'll III their work.
/ know plenty of men in this State
who would not take their places foi
the salaries they receive, and be con
PEELED to attend to the duties us they
are.
