Horace Boies against Speaker
Henderson. A few days ago Editor Baldwin
of a local democratic paper at Cascade, in
Dubuque county. clipped an article from
Bryan's paper which contained an attack
on Cleveland and sent 1t to the eX-president
with some comments thereon. Editor Bald

and he called attention to the fact that
since the party leadership has been turned
over to Bryan the democratic majority OF
over 1000 in Dubuque county has been
turned into a republican majority. and this
Notwithstanding that one of the ablest Of
the editors following Bryan has been edit

A delegation Of prominent lawyers called
On Governor Cummins today and urged that
he refuse assent to a bill becoming a law
by which it would be required that suit
against premium notes in insurance COM
panies shall be brought in the county where
the maker OF the note lives. AT first the
law was so arranged that the notes would
be made payable in the counties where
made, but afterward II was changed. 1t
is now commended that this would be illegal
and that the courts would hold such a law
to be imperative. The purpose OF the pas
sage of the law was to avoid annoyance
from spectators who buy up these pre-
MUM notes, especially in the case Of de-
funct companies, and compel payment even
though the company is gone, because IL Is
easier to pay the notes than to fight them
in court far away from home II the suits
had to be commenced in different counties
they would be valueless.
Supreme Court Decisions.
The supreme court in an important and
interesting decision today passed on the
question of negligence OF a railway COM
pany in the rights Of trespassing children
II was a case against the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids & Northern Railroad company. tried
in Muscatine. Children playing around q
turntable unfastened It and one was in
iured. Suit was brought against the com
psny for damages and a Judgment secured
The company claimed that the children
were trespassing and therefore the COM
pany was not liable. The court holds thai
the law as to trespsss does not apply in the
case Of children in the same way as tc
adults and that the natural instincts Of
children to play and to seek to play with
any movable object cannot be restrained
The judgment OF the lower court is there
fore affirmed.
Clara Blsydes Of Muscatine left in heI
will a bequest for an orphans home to be

her death, but II not so located the money
was to go to a home for old women. The
Lutherans organized and located an or
phsns' home. but placed II just outside o.
the city limits. The trustees OF the Ok
Ladies' home claimed the money because
the orphans asylum was not located &C
tually within che city limits. The cour
holds hat the conditions Of the will hat
been substantially complied with by placing
the asylum on ground adjoining the city.
Tn following are the decisions placed OF
file today. after which the members Of the
court went to their respective homes:
