Ben SaIlIneer Loses Case.
A man riding on a pass who brings
suit for damages, cannot collect fol-
his passenger fare, according to q
decision of the supreme court.
Ben L. Sallinger, of Carroll county
was In Milwaukee and telegraphed
to a Carroll friend asking how soon
he had to be back to Carroll to at.
tend court. The friend wired him to
be back by Wednesday noon but the
Western Union failed to deliver the
message.
Failing to get a message Sallinger
claims to have come home two days
earlier than necessary, thus leaving
business uncompleted in Milwaukee
and Chicago and he brought suit
against the Western Union to re
cover damages including his expenses
| Of travel.

he did not have Ito answer the ques
ton. The supreme court says that
he must answer the question and q
man is entitled to collect what ex
penses is incurred and not what ex
| penses he might have incurred.
Blind osteopaths Not Barred Now.
Blindness no longer is bar to the
practice of osteopathy in Iowa. I'm
der an opinion handed down by At
torney General Byers the state board
of medical examiners Is directed to
examine persons who are blind and
| If otherwise they are qualified, to is
sue certificates to them. In this hold
ing the attorney general is con
4 strained to differ with his predeces
sor, G. W. Mullan, who held that
tice osteopathy could not be exam
ined.
The law provides that persons ap
pearing before the state board tt
take the examination for certificate!
must submit to several conditions
Among them is this: "Third, all ex
aminations shall be in writing" /
was held by Attorney General Mullal
that as blind man could not write
his examination papers he could no
be given the examination The. con
trary view appeals to Attorney Gen
eral Byers.
