is much longer than is ordinarily sup
posed. Thousands of them live through
winter, alternating or asleep in dark
places in barns or house cellars. In
sparsely settled localities, where they
cannot find such places for shelter,
they live through the winter in hol-
low trees; and, ever though the tenn
perature may fall far below freezing,
they are not winter-killed, but on the
approach of warm weather become ac-

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 26.-It is gem
orally believed here that the ten bonds,
representing a face value Of $1,000
each, which have been offered to the
state Of Iowa by a Philadelphia, sign
ing himself John James. are involved
In the scheme of a former United
States senator of another state to col
lect $40, 000, 900 in ancient obligations
from the southern states. The bonds
which concern Iowa bear interest
which, with the principal, make the
value Of the documents about $4,000.
However, the Philadelphia points
out, these cannot be collected by an in
dividual, and if this state will under
take the task, the bonds will be
turned over. 1t is said that when the
senator was in Office he learned OF a
number OF bonds which were outstand-
ing and, being unbelievable by a pri-
vate individual, he engineered a con-
tract under which he was guaranteed
four per cent. Of all he could collect on
bonds Of North Carolina. Ten thou
sand dollars in these bonds were pre-
S6uL6Q 10 OOuIu OdhOId dhu ouIS WIS
begun in the supreme court against
North Carolina for collection. South
Dakota won and was given judgment
against the southern state for $4,000.
1t is declared that the senator hunted
up the holders of extensive issues of
southern state bonds and made con-
tracts with them for the collection Of
their claims. Judgment having been
secured for the state, it is believed to
be the idea of those who represent the
collectors that they can set before the
government the fact that one class OF
creditors cannot be paid without con-
sideration of another, thus bringing
about the desired result. In the South
Dakota case, Judgment will BIO issued
early in 1905. Meantime it is believed
that disinterested states will be asked
to accept bonds in order that suit may
be begun in their James Iowa is the
first state to receive the offer and will,
in all probability, reject it.

Lunacy on the Increase.

Insanity is on the increase in Iowa.
This fact is borne out by the figures
which have just been made public by
the board of control. There are now
in the insane hospitals Of the state
$3.50 persons suffering from nervous
diseases, an increase of 27S over the
total of last year. ! New cottages are
being constructed at Clarinda and
Cherokee, a fact which shows the fore
thought of the legislature and of the
board of control. The number of in
ebriates is falling off, the total now in
the hospitals being 81, as compared
with 107 reported last year. A net
increase. of 100 Is shown in the number
of wards of the state. The total is now
1884. Following is a tabulated state
ment of the balance of cash on hand

Hope for Iowa Amendment.

Senator Titus, author of the Iowa BIZ
ennial amendment, sees victory in the
decisions in like cases in the supreme
court of Wisconsin. Questions have
been raised in the Badger state as to the
validity of amendments and have always
been decided in favor of the bill, he de-
clares. The senator came to Des Moines
on business recently, and when inter-
viewed on the question of testing the
amendment, said he doubted if any such
move could be made. When asked how
he would meet the criticism that his
measure was not submitted in proper
form, he cited a case which was decided
in the Wisconsin court, and declared that
the language of the Iowa and Wisconsin
constitution is identical on the ques-
ton. Mr.. Titus says he does not consid-
er the omission of the words "of Iowa
worth the trouble which has been TO-
cused upon the deficiency.
