Astoniahed HUSBAND.

man who had married because the
woman h. : much money, although no
beauty. Naturally. after the wedding
ceremony and the acquisition of the
brides financial resources, the hus-
oand was never very attentive to her.
Another member of the company in
which the couple We're appearing was,
however, far more appreeiative of the
lady's charms. and proceeded to make
love to her in an ardent but stealthy
manner. The grand finale came one
evening when the actor discovered
the other man kissing his wife The
fond lover stood petrified with fear.

next moment.
No such thing happened. The out
ragged husband only lifted his hands
toward the ceiling with gesture Of
intense surprise, and exclaimed:

MAY CANCEL BLACK
RIVER FALLS DEBT
Attorney Generals Opinion De-
fines Scope of State Aid.
CANNOT REPLACE THE DAM
Neither Can Legislature Make Appro-
priation to Aid Public Schools
Money for Retaining Wall Must Be
Taken from Drainage Fund.

Madison. - That the legislature
may cancel the obligation of the city
of Black River Falls for money loan
ed from the trust funds, at the same
time replacing in the trust funds
the amount so cancelled, is held in
an opinion by Atty Gen. Bancroft
upon request of Gov. McGovern.
Also it is held that an appropria-
tion for the preservation of the pub
lie health or TO relieve distress is
valid; that moneys in the drainage
fund may be appropriated to build
a retaining wall only upon the
theory that it would assist in the
reclamation of lands granted by the
United States under the swamp and
overflow land act; that the state has
no right to replace the dam at Black
River Falls.
Following is part of the text of
the attorney generals opinion:
Il understand that the city of
Black River Falls is indebted TO the
trust funds OF the state in the sum
of about $4,000, and is also in
debted TO private individuals and
corporations in the sum of about
$4,000. In so far as the indebted
ness TO private individuals and cor
porations is concerned the legisla-
ture is, of course, without author
ity,
An appropriation for the main
tenance of the public schools Is for
a local purpose and the legislature
would have no authority to make it,
THE preservation of the public
health is upon the same footing as
the relief of distress, and an appro-
priation for that purpose is valid
In my opinion, the only theory
upon which an appropriation for
/ building a retaining wall or other
wise improving the river could be
| justified would be that il would as
sist in the reclamation of lands
! granted by the United States to this
| state under the swamp and over
| flowed lands act. Such an appro~
priation7 would have to be made from
the drainage fund
/ THE committee also suggested
that as the dam at Black River Falls
was destroyed by order OF the rail-
road commission, acting under a pro-
! vision of the water power law. since
declared unconstitutional, the state
might be under obligation to replace
it. II is very clear there is no OBJ
legation on the part of the state to
replace this dam"
