in this one case nearly 100000.
The question Of the laws -constitu-

concerned want it passed on by the
court of last resort. The heir and trus-

Inheritance is exempt from the tax
County Attorney AL j. Smith will at

This petition will undoubtedly be de-

CHICAGO TO SEE
KING OF PAGERS
Alderman Hunter in Minneapolis
to Arrange for Dan
Patch Matinee.

Chicago, Sept. 13.--If the plans Of
dent of the West Chicago Driving
Patch, l:56, the greatest PAGER in the
world, do not mlscarry, Chicago lovers
Of the light-harness horse will have
their first opportunity Of seeing the
champion stallion on Saturday, Sept.
80. Not only that; he may come here
and meet The Broncho.
At the instigation Of Mr.. Savage,
Mr.. Hunter and his associates propose
holding matinee at the Twelfth street
track that, if possible, will eclipse the
recent intercity races at Washington
park. With this end in view, President
Hunter and his son left for Minneap-
oils last night to- confer with Mr.. Saw
age.
t.sMr. Hunter is in the city, but ]
have not seen him and probably will
not until this afternoon said M. w
Savage today. g I suggested the idea
of Dan going to Chicago, but the talk
of his racing against the Broncho is q
Chicago idea, and think it has beer
added merely to make it read well. Da1
will not race The Broncho. 1t require:
I different training to ct a horse for race
work than that required for speed
trials, and it would take five or si2
weeks to get Dan in shape for racing
We have engagements which would
make it impossible. Dan will probably
go to Chicago and show the people Of
that city what speed is, but there vii
be no race. ~

dismissal from the service in Manila
five years ago, judgment Of $9,6l793
was ordered today against Frederick

value Of the supplies unaccounted for,
with interest. Barrows did not appear,
but his attorney, G. F. Baxter, declared

CRUSADERS ATTACKED
Meet Trouble After Getting Informa.
a." ton in Sunday Saloon.

All is not sunshine in the life of a
Sunday saloon crusader. One Of the
crusaders went to D. j.. Wintheiser s
saloon, at .1424 Seventh street S, last
Sunday and asked for a drink of water.
The proprietor gave him the water, and
as he did so noticed that the man was
surveying the saloon with a critical
eye. .lv g. x - - 10. 4.
"''That's q good drink for crusad-
ers," said Winchester. =! s2@
~ It s all right, and it's all right if I
am a crusader replied the abstainer.
The man drank the schooner of river
water and went out. He walked out
Fourteenth avenue for block and was
then joined by two others and the
three took out notebooks and held a
conference. 49, II " .'. .s5.g&@.
In the meantime tie report of the
crusader s presence in the neighbor-
hood became known and just as they
were heading for Cedar avenue they
were overtaken by an angry crowd of
men, who demanded their business. They
hestiated in their reply and Immediately
became the target for some ferocious
blows. No one knew who they were,
nor the organization they belonged to.

REVISED CODE WAITS
COMMISSION CAN'T ADVERTISE
FOR BIDS TILL SPECIFICATIONS
APPEAR.

All is now in readiness for publica-
tion of the new code Of laws adopted
by the last legislature, except the speci.
fcations calling for bids. These were
promised the state printing commission
some time ago by Mark Dunnell of
Owatonna, the editor selected by the
legislature, whose business it is to draft
them, but they have not yet appeared
at the capitol.
The commission desires to call for
bids Immediately, SO that all the law
book publishing firms may bid, and that
it may not come down to a point where
because of the small time left, but one
firm, the largest publishing house Of
the kind in the west, can bid ON getting
the work out on time.
The Nplan of the printing commission
is to have the work published and sold
by the concern which offers to sell the
work at the lowest retail price. The
commission fears combine on the bids
because of there being so few law
book publishing houses. If it proves
that the bids are unsatisfactory, then
the commission will secure other bids
for supply printing the laws, and will
itself retail the publication to the law
yers and all others who desire Il at d
cost price.

markable case of mental relapse is that
Of Miss Mary Scully, 10 years old, A
few days ago she was like any other
bright, active, healthy young woman.
Today she is like a baby of Is months,
hardly able to walk and approaching
absolutely nothing of what goes on
around her.
This is not her first experience of the
kind. Twice before she has had these
periods of relapse to infancy, and her
case is a puzzle to physicians.
Her last attack occurred about year
and half ago and lasted several
months. She did not come out of 1t
until the night of the great fire here
last winter The excitement restored
her to her normal condition.
Her case is not one of insanity, but
she is incapable of thought, speech or
responsible action. She acts Just like
little baby, and to all intents and pnr-
poses is an infant. She stares vaeantly
at those around her and takes absolute
ly no interest in events. She is in the
care of her aunt, who has to feed her
and give her water to drink.
That Miss Scully is not of weak In
tellect is shown by the fact that she
was graduated from the parochial school
of st. Mary's church here and was one
of the brightest Scholars In the class.
