company had complained to the police.
Patrolmen were given strict instruc-
lions TO see that the steps were kept
clear.
When Patrolman Warren saw an I'M

Value of Appearances.

It was a case of drunkenness and
the prisoner was an army veteran,
and when he stood before the bar of
justice it was very evident that he
felt his position keenly. Just before
he was arraigned a young woman, his
wife, stepped up to the detention pen
hesitatingly and took out of her hand
bag a freshly Numbered collar and
necktie which she furtively handed
the man. The change wrought in his
by the new neckwear was
phenomenal. He was placed upon
probation, and it is safe to say that
he will never be brought into court
again.-Boston Traveller

previous customers and ingenlously re-
constructed by the cook. who supplied
the missing parts with chicken meat.

hotel be made public in order that their
reputation may not suffer by suspicion.

Ohio Laws May Be Illegal.

CLEVELAND, O., April 1S.-All bills
passed in the recent session of the
legislature of Ohio and permitted to
become laws without the signature OF
Governor Pattiscn. are illegal and
void, if decisions rendered by the SUI
preme courts of Massachusetts and
Florida are followed In Ohio. and
that means practically all of the laws.
Furthermore, according to the de-
cisions mentioned, Ohio had no COVER
nor during the legislative session, as
Pattison was so ill that he could not
give personal attention to any mat
tiers. The highest tribunals in Massa-
chusetts and Florida have decided that
the state constitutions require that
each bill passed must receive the
personal consideration of the governor
before becoming law.

Triekery and Pretense Exposed Before
Tribesmen.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. April 1S.-One
of the strangest wagers of modern
times took place this week between an
Indian medicine man and a German
Catholic priest named Benshen, at the
Indian village of Nootka, B. c. One of
the witnesses of the wager was Cap
tain Newcomb of the Dominion rev.
enue cutter Kestrel.
The Indian medicine man has been
working a graft on the tribesmen by
threatening to place the evil spirits in
them if they did not give him blank
cts and had accumulated a large num-
Der Of blankets. The German mission
airy then decided to interfere and
wagered the medicine man 500
against the blankets that he could not
put the evil spirit in him.
A day was set for the test and the
priest expecting trickery, had ]. Earle.
a storekeeper and Captain Newcomb,
the only two white men available, to
witness the affair. Upon seeing the
white witnesses the Indian medicine
man was compelled to confess before
his tribe that he could not do as ne
professed and the priest thus won the

Defeats Foresters.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April 49,
Defendants motion for a new trial in
the case of Mrs. Ingeborg Lindahl OF
Minneapolis against the supreme
court, Independent Order of Foresters
has been denied by Judge Kelly OF
the Ramsey county district court
where the action was tried and the
plaintiff was awarded a verdict of
$1,000 for insurance.
The plaintiff is the widow of Swan
Lindahl, the Minneapolis policeman
who disappeared while under indict-
ment for arson and grand larceny and
whose body was later claimed to have
been found in the Mississippi river
The court held that the verdict was
justified and that the proof warranted
the finding that Lindahl was dead and
came to his death by accidental means.
Suicide is abhorrent to the law"
the court says. 1T involves moral
turpitude and the law and the courts
shield as far as possible the dead
charged with the act Where merely
the death appears, the law presumes
that it occurred by accident or from
some cause other than deliberate self
destruction The burden of proving
suicide is upon the party who makes
the charge"
