They held that Car- penter inherited from his father: hence his assignment of it to them gave them the property. Judge Lyons decided that the murderer inherited and now the supreme court affirms the deci- sion. It seems that is the law. The next legislature should pass an act pro- viding that when the natural heir murders the owner of a property for the express purpose of obtaining it, he {or she) shall not inherit; it shall go to the next heir or to the state. A law which gives a murderer a title in prop- erty which the erime was committed to secure is not a good law. insu m—— Died from Lock jaw. Robert M.

This is proof positive that with equal chances as to material the manufacturer of the United States could not only hold his own against the foreigner, but could drive him oft the field. Ex-Secretary Whitney is, I think, the strongest man the Demo- erats could nominate for President.” Secretary Olney was asked when he came to Washington the other day if the President had given any considera tion to another issue of bonds in the near future, His reply was short and decisive, He said: “Such a thing has not been considered by any member of the administration. In fact, there is no necessity for such consideration, as the finances are in good shape, there is running the story | cussion now going on in the state. : i i ! is plenty of money in the treasury and the gold reserve is all right.” Surely FOSTER ONTHE WEATHER, the silly bond story, started for the purpose of doing harm, but, of course, it won't.
