LYONS MANIA FOR MARRYING.
A Confessed 'Bigamist Sentenced al
Sioux Falls.


Judge Jones of Sioux Falls has sen.
fenced Rev" Charles A. Lyons, a self.
confessed bigamist, to four years at
hard labor in the p~enitentiary.
1t was argued In behalf of the pris.
oner hat the marriage mania was the
only crime that could be charged
against him. His attorney also ex.
pressed the opinion that Lyons would
not live for three years longer, as
there was every indication that he had
a blood clot on the brain.
Lyons vas captured in st. Paul the
latter part of April, after having been
a fugitive since last December. He
made his first appearance in Sioux
Falls a year ago. He protested to be
a preacher, and as he presented ere.
dentials which appeared genuine. he
was soon in good standing.
He made his home for a time with
Rev. e. A. Orr, pastor of the Christian
church. Last summer he became ac-
quainted with Miss Emma Purvis. ste
%nographer in a local bank. Lyons
wooed her with great ardor and on Oct.
5 last they were married.
On Dec. % Lyons mysteriously dis
appeared, and through his wife's per-
sonal efforts was located in St. Paul,
where, under the name Of George Da-
Wis, he was working as a b~ookbinder.
1t has been definitely ascertained
that he had been married four or five
A.. 49, IL
in Sioux Falls, and the local authori-
ties are confident that he has been
married many other times.

Disease Caused by Sunlight.

While the rays of the sun possess a
stimulating and beneficial effect in
disease and can be used with advant-
age as therapeutic agent, yet, ac-
cording to recent investigations, they
also may act injuriously and cause dis
ease. That there is difference in the
therapeutic value between the actinic
rays, or those located at the violet end
OF the spectrum, and the red rays was
appreciated by Finsen, and the former
were used in the treatment of such

berculosis of the skin, while the latter
were found effective in cases of small.

searches in this department is by Pro.

these experiments large number Of
human subjects were exposed to direct

large percentage of cases it was found
that there resulted the following set

Denver, April 5.-In good health and
cheerful spirits was the condition in
which 100 members of the Grutli Ver-
Elm found DIR. Johann Jacob Eisenhut
when they called at St. Anthony's hos
pital last Sunday to help him celebrate
his 104th birthday Dr. Eisenhut is a
member of the society and each year
his brothers go to the hospital and give
celebration in his honor.
For the last six years the society has
been caring for the venerable old man,
and on each birthday during this time
the members have paid a visit. To all
of them yesterday he gave a hearty
handshake and jokingly remarked that
he would greet them in the same man
ner this date in 1905.
DR., Eisenhut was born in Switzerland
IN 1900 Despite his advanced age he
still possesses much vigor, and from his
appearance and actions. one not famil-
lar with his history, would hardly take
him to be so old.
Mr.. Eisenhut talks entertainingly of
his own life and always feels happy
when he has an opportunity to tell
stories of his boyhood days. His early
life was spent in Switzerland and he re-
counts with much pride the time, when
about eight years of age, Napoleon at
the head of his army, passed through
the village where the Eisenhuts were
living. On this occasion the famous
general, the doctor is fond of relating,
attracted by the boy at the gate,

would like to be soldier and at the
boyish enthusiasm to become one, Ma
poleon smiled as he passed on. DR..

DOCKING HORSES
ANTI-DocklNe LAW SUSTAINED.
Colorado Supreme Court Declares the
Law Constitutional and Denounees
Docking as Cruel and Senseless.


Denver, April 5.-In upholding the
constitutionality of the Colorado law
relating to the docking of horses. the
Supreme Court yesterday declared
sound the first law of this kind ever
passed in this country. The law pro
vides not only against the docking or
horses tails but also against the use of
a docked animal that was not register
ed in compliance with the requirements
of the law after it was passed. 1t was
through the instigation Of the HUI
name Society that the legislation on
this point was secured. and the test
case which has just been decided was
prosecuted by Secretary E. X. White
head.
The test case was instituted by
Ernest Bland. former coachman of
John w Springer. Bland was charged
with having in his possession and
using an unregistered docked horse,
and the case was decided against him
in the lower court. He appealed to
the Supreme Court, claiming that that
part of the law which prohibited the
use of unregistered docked horses was
unconstitutional in that it was con-
trary to that part of the constitution
which allows to all persons certain
natural, essential and inalienable
rights" among which might be reck-
oned the acquiring of property.
The opinion was written by Judge
Steele, and he interpreted the law in
no uncertain terms. He says:
with full knowledge of the law the
owner of the horse docked him and
sold him to Bland, and Bland, with full
knowledge of the law, bought a docked
horse. Their property has not been
taken without due process of law.
The law has not destroyed their prop
erty; they have destroyed their own
property. Bland sold the horse, and
within two weeks bought him back; in
the interim the horses tail was
docked. There was no necessity for
docking the horses tail. and the par
ties concluded to defy the law, and
they must take the consequences. We
regard the law as just, wise and hui
name, and withal a legal exercise of
power confided to the Legislature be-
cause it conserves the public morals,
and because it Furnishes the cruel and
senseless treatment by man of his
best and most constant friend.
THE docking of a horses's tail is
cruelty, not only because of the tor
ture inflicted by the operation, but be-
cause by depriving the horse of the
use of his tail he is deprived of the
use of weapon supplied him by ma
ture for his protection from the my
riads of winged pests that infest the
land. We are of the opinion that in
the forbidding of the use of a docked
horse the Legislature has not ex-
ceeded its authority; that the inter
diction is a valuable and reasonable
exercise of the police power of the
state. and that the constitution has
not been violated"
