OHIO LEGISLATURE CONVENED
Extra Session Called 70 Restore Juriu-
diction of the Supreme
Court.


COLUMBUS. o., Aug. 25.-The Ohio
legislature convened at 8 p. m. today in
extraordinary session to enact laws to
provide for the government Of municipali-
ties and to restore lost jurisdiction to the
supreme court, these matters having been
rendered chaotic by the action Of that
court during the early summer.
After roll call the governors message
accompanied by a municipal code bill, pre-
pared under the direction Of the executive.
was received. Following this resolutions
were offered on the death Of Hon William
Bell, jr., former secretary of state, and
at the time Of his death member Of the
house. Adjournment was then taken.
In his message Governor Nash first calls
attention to the act. passed last May, de-
priving the supreme court Of nearly all the
appellate Jurisdiction formerly possessed
by the court. The repeal OF the act is
recommended.
Continuing, the message says:
During the last days Of June the supreme
court Of the state handed down several de-
cisions which practically deprive our muni-
cipal corporations Of all government. II Is
apparent that this is an extraordinary oc-
casion, which needs a remedy at the earli-
est possible moment.
Constitutional government must be re-
stored to our cities and villages The labor
demanded Of us is not so much a work of
construction as OF readjustment The
question now is not what We think would be
a model municipal government. but what
we can get consideringi the constitution
limitations and all the circumstances sur
rounding us.
''The task must be approached with a spirit
OF give and take and with determina-
tion to accomplish something which will
bring order out of chaos. II is time enough
to attempt to have our fayorite ideas in re-
gard to the municipalities Incorporated into
law after order has been restored and when
the general assembly has ample time at
its regular session to discuss and consider
them"
The governor then traces briefly the his
tory of constitutional government OF mu-
inequalities in Ohio and advises that the
legislature ignore the requests for a con-
stitutional convention.
He then submits his ideas Of the neces-
sity of the situation in the form of
municipal code bill the enactment OF
which he recommends.
Concluding, the governor says:
II suggest that by joint resolutions you
refer the school laws to the state COM
missioner of common schools and the at
torney geenral; the laws relating to the
compensation OF county officers to the
auditor of state, secretary OF state and
the attorney general; the laws relating to
registrations and elections to the secre-
tary of state, and the laws relating to
annual boards Of equalization to the audi
tor of state, with instructions to revise
and re-codify said laws. remove therefrom
all imperfections and have their work
ready for presentation TO the general as
sembly Of Ohio on the first Monday in
January, 1904"

LONDON, Aug. 25.-The newspapers here
are taking time to digest President Roose-
velt's views on trusts and there has been
little comment on the subject thus far
The Evening Standard considers that his
definition OF the position combinations
ought to occupy ''is precisely what is ex-
peeted OF man of the presidents tenn
perate. logical mind and adds that the
suggestion OF governmental supervision
Of capitalistic rings is practicable in theory
although it is not easy to surmise how 1t
can be made operative"
The Pail Mall Gazette remarks:
President Roosevelt's pronouncement
leaves no doubt that he intends at least to
scotch some of the gigantic enterprises
which are deleterious to the general COM
munity. At the same time ne is too wise
to ignore the fact that the tendency OF
commerce Is in the direction of a concen-
guidance and not blind opposition.

narrow, although total operations amounted
to over 1,000,0OO shares. London was again
a moderate trader, transactions approx

Baltimore & Ohio shares from that center.

SHEEP-Receipts OF sheep were quite iiD-
eral this morning, so that the supply for
the week is considerable in excess of the
same days of last week and also of last
year. Packers, though, were all liberal
buyers, so that an active and strong mar
ket was experienced on all desirable
grades. Yearlings sold as high as $40. but
there were no strictly prime wethers
offered to tell just what they would bring.
The bulk of the better grades of all kinds
were soon disposed of at very satisfactory
prices.
There were not very many lambs on sale
today and none that would be called choice,
so that a fair test of the lamb market
was not made. The general opinion though,
was that anything good would bring fully
steady prices.
There was an active demand for feeders
and the better grades changed hands freely
at good strong prices. Common stun,
though, was neglected the same as usual.

TWENTY THOUSAND FOR LEG
Laborer Brings Heavy Personal In
Jury Suit Against Railroad
CONTRACTING Firm.

In United States circuit court has been

Fitzpatrick & Collins, the big railroad con-

J. Severian Of Oregon asks $50, 900 for the
loss OF a leg while in their employ.
Plaintiff states that he was employed as
a common leborer by the contractors, work
ing on the line they were building between
Portland. Ore, and The Dalles, same state.
In helping handle a steam shovel which was
removing rock blasted loose in q cut one

character that blasting loosened 1t beyond

CATTLE-There were only about 100 cars
of cattle on sale today, the rest of the re-
ceipts not being offered. The demand on
the part Of both packers and feeders was
of quite liberal proportions, so that any
thing desirable changed hands quite
rapidly.
The same as has been the case for some
time, there were just a few punches of
cornfed steers in the yards and the market
could not be quoted anything but about
steady. The better grades sold freely, but
the warmed-up kinds were not in particu-
larly good demand. So few cattle of good
quality have been offered of late that the
true condition of the market Is largely
guess work.
There were none too many COWS and
heifers in sight this morning to meet the
demand, and as a result the more desirable
grades sold freely at good steady prices.
little stronger. The medium grades,
though, did not show much of any change
from yesterday.
The market on bulls, veal calves and
stays held just about steady.
There were quite a few stockers and
feeders on sale, but the good stun sold
readily at steady prices. AS the close of
the week is close at hand the common
ally they sold a shade lower than yester-
day. The demand from the country con-
tinues of very liberal proportions, but buy
ers in most cases want cattle of good
quality, and as a result spectators have
about all the common stun on hand they
want.
