State Veterinarian Seabury of WyO-
ming has adopted vigorous measures to
stamp out Texas itch, Spanish itch.
range itch. mango and lice among cat
tie in Wyoming. The diseases have
for some time been making rapid prog
ress in this state and now the stock
owners will be compelled to observe
the law or pay the penalty.
State Veterinarian Seabury has is
sued circular letter to all stockmen.
in which he says:
Owing to the failure of stock own
ers to observe the law. the diseases
named are increasing, and can only
be eradicated by strict compliance with
instructions"
Then follows definition of itch in it's
numerous forms. together with the
manner of treating the disease, best
kinds of dip to use. etc.
Failure upon the part of owners to
rid their stock of disease will result
in the state veterinarian or his deputies
quarantining said stock and the eX-
pense for the work will be assessed
against the stock, which will be held
until said expenses are paid.
Grating may be done. even IL the
trees are in bloom, provided the scions
are dormant.
Two pounds of granulated sugar and
one quart of water makes syrup of the

the quiet funeral OF Mrs. Adilia c..
Sharpless. which took place at the

Sunday, is a strange story Of the Sc
cret removal of her remains and OF the
original casllet and their shipment to
this city, while her husband unknow-
ingly accompanied an empty coffin to
the cemetery at Springdale, Iowa.
Mrs. Sharpless was for fifteen years
a preacher at the Friends meeting
house in Saylesville, and married b. Y.
Sharpless, a Friends minister of Sal
EN-, Iowa, since then residing there.
She possessed considerable fortune,
and her relatives did not look upon her
marriage favorably.
When she died a few days ago the
funeral at Salem, Iowa, was attended
by Pawtucket relatives. and the hus
band declared his intention of buryins
her at Springdale. The details were
left to nephew, who secretly remoy
ed the body and sent the empty coffin
to Springdale. Sharpless will attempt
to recover the body by legal process.

COUNTY LOSES CASE.
SUPREME COURT RULES THAT
COUNTY CANNOT COLLECT
PENSION FOR TAXES.
Decision of Judge Fee in Case of Cal
vim Manning, Guardian, VS.. John II.
Spry, Treasurer and WapeIIo Coun-
ty, Affirmed by Higher Court.

A ruling far reaching in it's effects
was handed down by the supreme
court Saturday when the decision Of
Judge Fee in the case Of Calvin Man
ming, guardian VS.. John II Spry,
treasurer of Wapello county and
Wapello county appellants was at
firmed. The case is one in
which Mr.. Manning applied for
perpetual, injunction to restrain the
defendants from collecting taxes as
sessed against the property held in
trust by him on the grounds that such
property was and is exempt from tax
elton.
John Schwabkey Of this city, vet
Gran of the civil war, some years ago
received arrears of pension money of
ever $4,000, which has been invested
by his guardian He also receives a
monthly pension OF S72. Wapello
county assessed this money at $3.50,
per annum since 1895 and at the May
1901 term of the Wapallo county dis
tlict court a perpetual injunction was
prayed for by Mr. Manning and grant
ed by Judge Fee restraining the coun-
ty from collecting the taxes.
Case of Wide Interest.
The case was of wide interest, as up
on it hinged many cases Of similar
nature. The supreme court held that
pension money is exempt from taxa
ton, so long as it remains in the
shape of money to meet the daily wants
and needs of the pensioner. The APP
plication for the perpetual Injunction
was fled in May, 1901, by Mitchell &
Hunter and, S. e. Adler, attorneys for
the guardian. When the injunction was
granted by T. NJ Fee, the county inn
mediately appealed the case and the
decision Saturday was the result.
/ The Guardians Claim.
Manning was levied on for taxes on
money and credits held by him during
the years 1895, 1896, 1897, 1898 and
1899, in all amounting to about $1.700

The Courts Finding.

The court held that the money has
not, under the rulings-of the pension
department, reached the pensioner. 1t
is being held by the guardian as trus-
tee, and is in the process OF transmits
sion until actually paid to the pension
err or expended for his benefit. This
being true, the court holds that the
money is exempt from taxation.
