they were worth less than 81. says she
has committed no Offense known TO the

who sold horse with a SPAWN with

infallible courts say that this is per
fectly proper.
Would you. Mr.. Prosecutor. arrest
man for doing that:" she inquired
several times of Prosecuting Attorney
Macarthur. Although she has sent for
no attorney, she is constantly looking
for one. and this fact leads the Off

remain until she consents to plead to
the charge of false pretenses, some
thing she has steadfastly refused up

tion of the Quincy diocese of the Epis-

ty to forecast the successor to the
late bishop, and said that there is as
yet no discussion of the matter.
Bishop Taylor's name was present
ed to the diocese convention, which
elected him, here by Dean Moore, and
at the same time the name of DIR. c.
w. Leffingwell, of st. Mary's school,
Knoxville, was placed in nomination.
Then the objection raised to DR.. Lef-
was that he was too old

GAMBLER MUST BE

If He Wins AnOther's Money Every
Particle Of His Property
is Liable.

indianapolis, April 30.-A case de
cided by the supreme court was an
echo of the bank failure at Washing
ton, Ind, caused by the gambling op-
erations of Richard G. Davis. Matthew
Kelly, one of the gamblers against
whom Mrs. Davis recovered judg-
ment for $4,000 on account of her hus-
bands losses, demanded an exemption
of 5000 worth of property from seizure
on execution to satisfy the judgment
The circuit court held that the sheriff
might seize everything he had.
In affirming this judgment the su-
preme court, by Judge Monks. said: "a
resident householder can claim an ex-
emption of his property from sale on
execution only when such
process is issued on a judgment for
debt growing out of, or founded on,
contract"

to secure rates lower than the Wiscon-

states. then the people of Wisconsin
are wronged, and it is the duty of the
legislature to remedy that wrong.
a table is presented comparing the
rates to Chicago on wheat, flour, etc,

distance the average rate on the COM
