Gently drafted by a committee, con-

in the constitution of the United States
is but 5000. This constitutions great
length is due to the fact that it $incor-

states provide by statute. The legis:

The bureau of corporations has
concluded it's preliminary inquiry into
the reasons for the rapid advance OF
lumber prices and will probably
bring suit against the combine for
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law. Persons contemplating building
should not, however, defer the pur.
chase of lumber on this account, for
the prosecution of the trust will more
likely have tendency to bring about
an increase rather than decrease in
prices.

An English lord has entereds into a
contract y with Miss Nellie Madden { e of
Waukon, Wis, whereby she is to sup
ply him with two Thousand live prairie
dogs at three dollars apiece. These
dogs will be turned loose on the lord IS
estate and used for sporting purposes,
that is, the lord, whatsoever he feels
inclined, will go forth and shoot them
or rather at them, for prairie dogs
can smell powder a mile off. But the
Englishman is not acquainted with the
characteristics of the prairie dog, and
we are glad of it, for when they have
overrun the country defying extermi-
