from the question OF smoking. Exist

little safer by laws against smoking,
and some have called for similar leg

that is not real solution for civil

The rest of the bill for fire loss
should properly be charged not to to-

very different matter. There has been
degeneration in this respect. People

tion had to give up tobacco, not be-
cause it was a bad thing, but because

merits and demerits of tobacco quite
out of account, the article does show,
and forcibly, that people are extrava-

JURY FREES MARY JANE.
West Union Girl Promptly Acquitted
Friday i'm Court at Dubuque.

Miss Mary Lane of West Union
was acquitted Friday evening at DID,
buque on the charge of ending the
life of her child in that city July II.
The jury was OFT only twenty min
utes before reaching verdict. The
defense was twofold-that Miss
Lanes agency in causing the infant S
death was not proved, and that in
any event she was not in her right
mind at that time and for several
days after, including the time when
she confessed in West Union to hav-
ing smothered the child. The ac-
quittal of the defendant was expect
ed here, and general sympathy is ex-
pressed for Miss Lane and her fam
lily in the deep trouble they have un-
dergone.-West Union Gazette.
