estate to pay, as well as the other cir
cumstances, and to secure assistance
at a cost that would be reasonable"
/ Justice Galbraith, in a dissenting
opinion says:
The established practice in this
Jurisdiction. of allowing additional COM
pensation to administrators and guar
dams, for legal services rendered by
themselves, rests upon no stronger
ground, it seems, than an occasional
allowance of such claim
He quotes the Maikai case as the first
adoption of the rule, saying that III
that early decision mo attempt was
ton of the rule by argument or the
citation of authorities of any kind.
The two subsequent cases cited
followed the earlier case as an author
ity without question:
Proceeding, Justice Galbraith gives
the gist of his opinion on the principle
in the following paragraph:
1.-The practice of allowing fees, in adj
dition to the statutory commissions, to
members of the bar who may be guar
dams, or act in other trust capacities,
for legal services is wrong in theory
and pernicious in practice. 1t was new
er contemplated that the Office of guar
dian should be one of great profit or
that it should be sought on account of
it's emoluments. The position of guar
dian is not thrust upon one against his
will. 1t is usually sought for. Phi
lanthropy and not avarice is supposed
to be the motive that should prompt
one to seek the place."
An Illinois case decided in similar
terms to the expressions just quoted is
cited, and the dissenting Justice saws:
ITO permit Mr.. Magoon the guardian
20 employ Mr.. Magoon the attorney to |
'epresent the guardian in a lawsuit and |
allow him a fee of $3.50 or any other |
amount from the estate, would place |
he guardian in position where his in |
crest might oppose his duty"
1t is argued that the compensation
or his services" which the statute
flows a guardian, has been fully paid
o Mr.. Magoon in the commissions al
owed him annually of ten per cent
nd seven per cent as prescribed by
tatute in such cases provided

SERIOUS MALADY APPEARS.
Van Buren, County Horses Afflicted
With ALARMING Blood Disease.

Des Mones, March "a. Dr.. Paul
O. Koto, state veterinarian has discov
cred an outbreak of maladie du colt
| ty.
There have been only two known
instances of an outbreak of this
disease among equines in the United
| States.
The state appropriation is not suf
ficient to stamp out the danger which
threatens the horse industry of Iowa
and DR.. Koto has written the bureau
of animal industry at Washington, re,
citing the circumstances and it is an
ticipated the federal government will
promptly appropriate money and rem
der assistance in stamping out the
trouble.
IS The disease is form of blood poi
soning, which has it's counterpart in
the human family. Equines are sub
ject to it in all it's characteristics and
breeding horses especially.
The trouble first made its appear.
ance in Europe in 1896 and was
brought to this country by imported
horses. 1t first made it's appearance
in Illinois in 1884 and in 1892 made
its appearance in northwestern Ne
braska. 1t was stamped out at great
expense.
The outbreak was reported to DR.
Koto several days ago, from near Biz.
mingham in Van Buren, county. Dr.
Koto with other members Of the state
board of veterinaries and DR.. Bauman
the local veterinarian, examined the
animals and pronounced them clearly
affected with maladie du colt. Dr. Ko.
to says the symptoms are unmistak.
able.
While there is no Disgusting the dan.
ger involved in the outbreak of the
disease, DR.. koto believes it will be
stamped out by the state and federal
authorities. without jepoardizing the
horse industry of Iowa, if prompt &C,
ton is taken. Dr. Koto has not de.
termined the origin of the disease.

ELoPEMENT sTlRs PERRY.
Woman Gathers Belongings for TriI
While Husband Does Chores.

Perry, March 24.-The gossipers of
this town have been furnished a genu-
inc elopement to occupy their attention
for a few days. The principals are a
buxom married lady of 80 and a wild
youth of 20. 1t seems the woman
planned to have her husband call the
young man, who lives in the same
neighborhood, early, on the pretense
that he wanted to catch the first train
this morning for Des Moines on i'm
portant business. While the unsus-
pecting husband was doing the chores
the wife got as many of her belongings
together as possible, got into buggy
with her new beau and was nowhere to
be found when the head of the family
came into the house for his breakfast.
1t is said the man did not lament the
departure of his wife so much as he
did the loss of several hundred dollars
which she took with her.

Coaching Squad Increased.

The aggregation of ex-Navy stars
who are helping DIR. Paul Dashiell to
work the slump Of the last few years
out of the navy football team has re-
ceived an increase through the order
ing here of Lieutenant Arthur S. Kav-
anaugh. Lieutenant Kavanaugh was
centre on the teams of 1898 and 1894,
both of which teams defeated West
Point, and in the latter year captained
the team He was one of the greatest
players ever in the navy. With his
arrival the coaching squad will then
number nine.
1t is expected that 1.-THE Swarthmore
game with the middies Sa rday will
be hard one, as that team has been
putting up splendid fight this season.
The coaches will devote great atten-
ton to instructing the players in hug
ging tight to the ball. Fumbles were
the particular fault of the middies in
the Dickinson game last Saturday.
Their defensive work was weaker than
it has been in any game this season
and efforts will be made to strengthen
this defect. Spencer, fullback, and
Doherty. the regular at right half, who
were unable to play against Dickinson
on account of slight injuries, will, it
is thought, be in good condition for
Swartbmore.

A Shooting ARRAY

A shooting ARRAY which resulted
rather seriously to one of the partici-
pants took place at o'clock last even
ing. For some time there has been
more or less trouble between Charles
jennings, of Acton lane, and another
colored man. Last night they met
rather suddenly on South street and
the quarrel, which had been brewing
between them for some time, was re-
newed.
In the midst of the controversy q
gun was drawn by jennings sworn
enemy aud, before any movement
could be made to preveont him doing
harm, he had shot Jennings. The
bullet struck him in the jaw and he
fell back out of further harm. The
bullet was imbedded in the upper part
of his jaw and was removed at the
Emergency Hospital, where he was
directed by the police. The police are
looking for his assailant, who dis
appeared Immediately after the shoot
ing
