Kernel, a race track devotee who has been stopping at the Grand hotel, went off a day or two ago with a board Il be- hind him for $10.45, which he had forgo'ten all about. A warrant filed in Justice ‘Cook's court brought the matter to his memory with a jump and elicited a settlement. A tramp was seen walking about fhe North- western yards last night with a suspicious looking bundle in his arms. When he saw a couple of men approaching he dropped the bundle and ran. The bundle, when opened, was found to contain ' a suit of clothes, which is at the police headquar- ters waiting identification. Ovide Vien entertalned the members of his class in the Baptist Sunday school last even- ing at his home, 1808 Seventh avenue, to- gether with the pastor and his wife, Rev, and Mrs. V. C. Rocho.

Several witnesses testified that they had beheld shocking things through a certain window, and then other witnesses were brought In who swore that there was no window in the place indicated.

Swartz chased an Omaha man named Lang across Broadway about a block to the intersection of Glen avenue, and caught him at the door of W. H. Smith's store.

The report BOt into one of the evening papers. Mr. Weir states that he went into Ed Burke's barber shop Monday night, and finding a tablo which looked as though it might have been used in shooting craps, warned the owner against putting it to such use.

Pennsylvania Authorities Exerclse n Diamond Cinch on Riley. Deputy Sherlft Nick O'Brien returned yes- terday morning from the cast, but the Gris- wold bank robber, Riley, was not with him. Riley, alias Tommy Blake, alias Tommy (or Buzzy) McHugh, was arrested at Allentown, Pa., for picking a lady's pocket of $19 at the state saengerfest, August He was in- dicted by the grand jury September 5 under the namz of Jumes Moore, pleaded mnot iy and was tried and convicted the next day. Sherift Hazen has an idea that the Philadelphia authorities wmight have blocked these proceedings had they been so minde but that they did not inform the Allentown authorities of the serious charges against Riley at this end of the line for fear that they would have to divide the $300 reward. At all events, on September 14, the very day O'Brien arrived at Allentown, Judge Edwin Albright sentenced him to a year and a half at solitary confinement in the Lehigh county jafl and to pay a fine of $25. As soon as O'Brien arrived there he went at once to the jail where the bank robber was confined. He addressed Riley pleasantly, but Riley denfed any acquaintanceship. He looks Just as he did on the day of their first meeting at the Kiel hotel. He wears the same closely cropped dark beard, and the scar under the right eye, which the Cass county authorities mentioned in their description, but which was not noticed here, was plainly visible. O'Brien had an interview with Judge Al- bright of the court of oyer and terminer and tried to induce him to suspend the sen- tence. Judge Albright told him that the case was entirely out of his jurisdiction, sen- tence having already been pronounced. “If I had known he was that sort of a fellow,” be continued, “‘you would not have had him as soon as you will, for I should have given him a five-’ear sentence 8o, Instead of having his prisoner, O'Brien had to content himself with a certified copy of the court proceedings from B. L. New- hard, the clerk of the court, and pinning a newspaper clipping, a_telegraphic dispatch from Allentown to the Philadelphia Press, to one corner of it, brought it home as a cer- tificate that he had done what he could. The only thing to do now is to wait until the year and a half has elapsed and Riley has finished his job of carpet weaving in jail. In that time a great many things may happen and Riley may become the victim of the Potta- wattamie and Cass county authorities, or he may not. If he does there is but little doubt that the best part of twenty years will be spent by him benind prison bars, SAINTS AND THEIR TENT LIFE. Prayers Rise with the Thermometer and Their Activity Still Stronx. Despite the heat, and despite the attrac- tions of the fair, there was an increased altendance at the Saints' camp meeting yes- terday. Many who came in for a season of prayer are drawn hither too by the fact that the big falr is in progress, and while spending part of the time at the camp ground they give up a portion to seelng the sights. Then, too, the fair makes trans- portation cheap and gives many believers a chance to attend the meetings who other- wise would have to stay at home. Thus it chances that the fair and the camp meeting help each other. Yesterday nine more tents went up, the number of transients was also largely increased, so that all the services were well attended. The chief interest yesterday centered in the Sunday school convention, held in_the afternoon. In the evening Rev. Mr. Fors- cutt preached. The program for today opens with Sunday school services from 8 to 9:15, prayer meeting at 9:30, preaching by Elder Joseph Luff at 10:45, preaching at 2:30 p. m. by E.der J. W. Wright and at 8 o'clock p. m. by Rev. J. R. Lambert., To accommodate those who desire to reach the grounds in time for the morning prayer service an additional train has been put on to leave the Broadway depot at 8:30 a. m. There will be several new converts bap- tized this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Next Friday afternoon business sesston will be held, at which time a decision will be reached concerning the location of the meet- Ing next year. Council Bluffs will make a strong pull for it. Blocked the Sidewalk. Considerable annoyance to pedestrians has been caused by merchants blocking the side- walk with their wares and having crowds congregate In front of their place of business. On South Main street this week the walk in front of a well known store has been blocked with woren, children, baby buggles, etc., almost every day. Mr. Hughes, the proprie- tor, when asked about it, explained by saying that he was having a clearing sale of boys', misses’ and children’s shoes, and the prices he is making is bound to attract the people to his store, and he promises that if the present rush continues that the blockade will soon be raised. If you haven't bought shoes for all the children, do o this week, for you will never buy them so cheaply again. Remember that 919 South Main street is the place and T. B. Hughes is the man, Jarvis and Fonda. A quiet wedding took place at 3 'clock yesterday afternoon at the rosidence of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Fonda, 217 Bluff street, thelr daughter, Miss Lena, being united in marriage to Mr. George M. Jarvis, jr., of Chicago. Only the Immediate relatives were present to witness the ceremony, which was performed by Rev. T. J. Mackay, rector of All Saints' church in Omaha. They were generously remembered by their friends, recelving many handsome and_useful pres- ents. They left over the Northwestern train at 6:40 p. m. for Chicago, which will bo their fature home. Both the young peo- plo are well and favorably known to a large circle of friends in this city, the bride having lived here since childhood, while the groom made Council Bluffs his home until about two years ago, when he engaged in business in Chicago: Invitations are out for a reception to be given in their honor on their arrival in Chicago by Dr. W.

Take Council Blufts out of the Nebraska state fair and a big hole would be left in the farm implement district, and take Dzere, Wells & Co. out and a very large sized vacancy would be created, But the o'd plo- neer firm of farm implement makers is there, and very much in evidence, with one of the largest and finest buildings ever erected on state fair grounds for exclusive private use. It is a sightly building, a per- manent and beautiful adornment for Ne- braska's great white city, that has grown up like maglc on the virgin prairie hillsides. All the way out to the grounds the visitor's attention {s attracted by evidences of the stupendous ttruggle that the builders of the fair have had with nature. Roadways have been carried through hills and over valleys. The newness of everything prepares the vis- itor for the newness of the city itself, and the great white buildings, shiniog in the sun, seem a fitting achievement for the en- terprise that has created it, without taking into consideration the wealth of manufactures they cover. The Deere, Wells & Co. build- ing s in the center of the agricultural im- plement district. It is located on the west- ern hillside and towers above all its sur- roundings, neariy three times larger than any other agricultural bulding on the grounds. Its beauty and its sightly loca- tion and the name across its portal make it naturally the objective point of the farmer and machine man as soon as he gets fairly inside the grounds. It is 60x100 feet, not including the wide porches that surround it From the top of it float three large Amer- ican flags, the company's streamer, forty- cight feet long, and four Ak-Sar-Ben flags, fifteen feet long. Ak-Sar-Ben ribbons and buntitg, the green, gold and red, are every- where visible, The entire exhibit of the com- pany, including the building and the ad- jacent yard filled with whirring machinery, covers 150 square yards. The main floor, reached by a flight of steps on the west side and on the grade line on the east, is filled with the exhibit of the company's goods, one article in each line, the goods of the Decre & Mansur company, and the Mo- line Wagon company, and a full line of car- riages and spring vehicles. It is not a tem- porary structure, but is built in the most substantial manner, intendel to endure as long as the Nebraska state falr grounds exist. The Deere people are not afraid to show. their machinery in operation, and a line of shafting runs through the basement, driven by one of their farm -traction en- gines, and this shafting drives the yard full of machinery outside. The general arrange- ment of the exhibit Is very attractive and pleasing. In the center is the famous World’s fair exhibit in its entirety and beauty. The center plece is the Deere check-rower corn planter and ‘drill in polished mahogany, every scrap of metal bur- nished and nickel plated. Next to it is the Kid sulky plow, mounted on a dais, with a span of dear attached. The dals is cov- ered with green cloth, trimmed with Ak-Sar-Ben ribbons and bouquets of natural flowers, The harness of the deer team is made of patent leather and silk brocade with silver and gold trimmings. Back of this is the disc press drill with yel- low birch woodwork and full nickel metal. The other piece that constituted that famous exhibit is the hay loader, which is too large to occupy the center space. It is just across the alsle on the north side, and is a plece of farm machinery in bird’s eye maple and mahogany, with enameled and silver plated metal parts. To see this exhibit alone is worth the price of admission to the fair. The west aisle is filled with the Moline wagon ex- hibit, including the old reliable farm wagon, the mountain wagon, city delivery and spring wagons, and all the vehicles made by the Molino people. The carriage and buggy exhibit is an im- mense one, and Includes everything from the finest “carriage and buggy to the ordinary road wagon, forty specimens of various grades. The plow Iine is covered by sulky and gang plows, sleam plows turning five furrows, walking plows, sub-soil plows, and the celebrated circular’ disc plow that has created such a furore among Iowa and Ne- braska farmers, riding and walking cultiva- tors, and riding and walking listers. The Superior farm and stock scales, a Council Bluffs product, is on exhibition in'a prominent place. Hay working machinery is given a large space. The Flour City hay press, the Milwaukee corn-husker and fodder-cutter and the Sandwich Enterprise power shellers are all in active operation, each in the care of an expert from the factory, as is also the Buckeye feed grinder, and the Smalley feed- cutter and tread power. The exhibit covers a line of goods that cannot be Inspected in a few hours, and for this reason Deere, Wells & Co. have made it pleasant for their vis- itors. Thelr offices are provided with toilet rooms and easy chairs; and in the basement they dispense royal hospitality to their friends. Luncheon prepared under the di- rection of C. B. Randlett, the famous ca- terér, is served to the friends and customers, who meet the genlal and polished general manager, Lucius Wells, A whole day can be put in around the building with comfort, pleasure and profit. OF INTEREST TO FARMERS AND AGRI- CULTURISTS. At 2 o'clock p. m. on Wednesday and Thurkday on the farm of Peter Doll, adjoin- ing the falr grounds on the north, Deere, Wells & Co. will exhibit thelr Deere disc plow in operation, This plow is claimed to be the most im- portant invention in the implement line of the last few years, and interests not only the farmers, but everybody in the western coun- try. Arrangements have been made by which the state board will issue return checks to all who desire to leave the ground for the pur- pose of witnessing this exhibit, HOMESEEKERS' EXCURSION, Via Burlington Route, August 29, September 10 d 24, Low rates to various points In the south, southwest, west and northwest.

There was an old man with a big and bulky satchel at his feet and a weed on his hat leaning against the Griswold street front of the postoffice the other day, says the De- troit Free Press, when a wag who had been hanging around for the right sort of a man to appear approached him and said: “I see that the grim destroyer has Invaded your hearthstone?" “The which?"’ asked the old man, “The grim destroyer—the angel of death. I take it your wife has gone hence." ““Yes, gone hence.” “Allow me to extend my heartfelt sym- pathies.” ‘Yes, you kin extend 'em."” “You must be lonely.” 'Yes, purty lonely. I have lost the partner of my own bosom and I know how It feels. You seem to be all alone In this great world?" that's the feelin’."” appears to be a desert to you a reg'lar desert, with sand a foot p. “But In your loneliness—in the seeming emptiness of your life—has it not oceurred to you that you could do something to add to the happiness of your fellow man?" ‘o8, it has.” “And will you do 1t?"” “I will.

He a Yale man, and, 1 fancy, a bit of a black sheep. He came of a good New 'Hngland family, and one brother went into the ministry and an- other came to this city and prospered in the law, but these pursliits' were too prosale for him. After he left tollege he went to Cuba for a few months, fnd then came back and drifted to Chicago @nd Became a reporter on the Chitago Times. This was in the old Storey days, when a Times reporter, in the event of refusing to give him news, was expected to take the man down and hammer it out of him, “Robingon made a mistake one day. He hammered the city editor and had to leave town. He promptly went out to Badger Rock, Mont. “Badger Rock at that time was one of the hardest towns in the west. Homlicide was a pastime, like lawn tennis or croquet in other parts of the country. Mining and gambling were the only two recognized Industries, with the preference given to gambling as a gentlemanly vocation. Robinson got imme- diate employment on a marning paper called by its owner with fine irony the Daily Dov It was the worst sheet in town, which In saylog-a good deal. The exciting nature of a connection with it may be best realized when I say that the paper’s strong point was abusive personals in a country where all nals are dangerous, When Robinson got to town he found the post of city editor vacant and applied for the place. The owner, notwithstanding his belligerency, was a fair man to his employes. He slipped his arm into Robinson's and led him halt a mile up the mountain to the littlo cemetery. Pointing to three white wooden headboards, he said: ‘Young man, there sleep your ' predecessors.’ ‘There's room for anothersbetween that end and the fence, answered Robinson, and he took the position of city editor. “But the worst thing about the outlook for the young man I have not mentioned. He could not shoot. He had tried to learn many times, but, in his own words, ‘he couldn’t hit a flock of barns’ When he explained this peculiarity to his employer this indi- vidual was for having him immediately throw up the position. ““Why,' he explaned, “they'll gec you in- sido of a week. Quick and accurate shooiing is the only chance for a man on this paper. I'd rather have a man that can't write than one that can't shoot.’ “‘Just let me alone, answered Robinsom ‘If you are not satisfied at the end of a month I'll resign.’ - ‘Give me the address of the friend you want notffied, please,’ said the man, whip- ping out a pencil, but Robinson only laughed, picked up the shears, cut the lapels off the side pockets of his coat, walked out and wandered up the gulch. “Now, something the owner of the Daily Dove didn't know was that Robinson had pitched for three years on the college base- ball club. He had been the best pitcher the club had ever had. He could throw a ball harder and straighter (or crookeder, as the circumstances might require) than almost any man who U} to that time had stood in the center of the diamond. He had made up his mind to utilize his talent in this direction. Up the gulch he began selecting stones about the size of hen’s eggs, hard and jagged. I think he picked out galena specimens largely, as being the heaviest and frequently rough and square-cornered. He dropped half a dozen nuggets in each side pocket and took off his hat and filled that and returned. At the office he emptied the hat on his desk and went to work. &'The second day after this his employer said to him: _‘Robinson, there's a man come to town named Wash Gazley. He is a crim- inal and a deadbeat who has killed five or six wen, He is now drunk and going about town destroying the property of some of our best advertisers. Just touch him up tomor- row morning’ Robinkon wrote a ripping item, in which he called the man a ‘coward,’ ‘tramp,’ ‘chicken thief’ and so forth, and warned him to get-out of town under pain of ‘further disclosures, in the fearless columns of the Dove. It was a hot paragraph, and when the foreman read it he simply re- marked: ‘Well, I hope the man that takes the city editorship tomorrow will write a plainer hand.’ “About 10 o'clock the next morning Robin- son was walking quietly along the main street of the town with his right hand resting carelessly in his coat pocket. Suddenly Mr. Gazley stepped out of the door of a saloon. He reached for his revolver. The young man from Yale who couldn’t shoot took his hand out of his pocket. In it was an irregular specimen of lead ore. I remember now the local doctor tried to explain subsequently that the speciment did not hit Gazley in a ‘nec- essarily vital spot, but it was vital enough for all practical purposes, and the next morn- ing the Dove remarked casually that ‘when the cut-throats of this town meet around the hearth tonight there will be one vacant chair. Jim Gazley Is no more.’ “The fate of Gazley ought to have been enough for the other obnoxious citizens of the nelghborhood, but of course it wasn't. A week later & man came down from Placer Bench, winged the chief of police, shot out the lights in the postoffice and rode his horse on the sidewalk. The Dove reprimanded him. He took a foolish and erring shot at the city editor, who replied with a stone and returned to his office and wrote that ‘another old settler has gone from our midst. Life is indeed uncertain. Now is the time to sub- scribe.’ “‘Robinson stayed a year before he got tired of the place and went to San Francisco, but I don't think that after the first three months he had any trouble. During that time I would not dare to say how many he popped over. Of course, most of them he only wounded. But, as he remarked in his vale- dictory, ‘far more than we intended have gone with less preparation than we could have wished. It should only serve to remind us that in the midst of lite a rock may catch n the jaw. never knew what became of him, but I fancy he has continued to take care of him- selt.” — Ploneer Iowa Citizen Dead.

The return of prosperity is hailed as result- ing from the election of a republican con- aress, giving confidence to the people in the assurance that no further tarift tinkering will be possible. The ignorance and unwise policy ot the democrats in passing an unconstitu- tional Income tax is referred to and the fa- vorable record of the republicans in congress in their opposition to that law. Morton's wise and patriotic administration is endorsed and his candidacy for the presidency formally launched. The dangers to the people of the return of the democratic party to power in this state are portrayed, asserting that the same men who have been repudiated by the voters are still in charge of the affairs of the democratic party in this state and their re- turn to power will mean the repetition of the old outrages. The reform of the ballot law is pointed to as the best act for ballot reform yet passed in this state. The platform further sets forth that the demands of the people in the city of New York have been granted in reform legislation. That it was a close following of the work mapped out is evident from the fact that the security of the state ticket was made pos- sible by the vote of one man. The only trouble arose over the contest for seats in the First district, and hinged on the seating of the contesting delegation headed. by Congressman Mahany. With everything apparently running smoothly the leaders were suddenly confronted with the statement made by ~State Committeeman George Urban, jr., and Senator Persons that if the Mahany delegation was seated the Erie county delegation would leave the con- vention, and Mr. Roberts’ name would be withdrawn from the convention, thus break- ing the slate. When the committee reported against Mr. Mahany, it was learned that the vote was 16 against and 15 for, the deciding vote having been cast by Mr. Wheeler of Utica. Thus was the catastrophe averted. CONVENTION CALLED TO ORDER. At 12:20 Mr. Platt entered the hall and there was an uproar that was astonishing, men standing on seats and cheering-vocifer- ously while the band played “Hail to the Chief. At precisely 12:30 Charles W. Hackett of the state committee rapped for order and Dr, Carey of the Episcopal church offered prayer, praising God for patrlotism, which he termed ‘“the foundation of pure politics and therefore of the nation.” At the conclusion of the prayer Secretary Kenyon began the long roll, the chairman asking for any substitutes. Instead of read- ing all the names and thus allowing the old- time enthusiasm when the names of the prominent men were reached, only substi- tutes were read. When Erie was read As- semblyman O'Grady of Monroe arose and pre- sented the contest of the Mahoney faction. When Herkimer was reached Warner Miller arose to make a substitution and was greeted with hearty applause. ‘When the roll was called, Mr. Hackett sald: “I have the honor to name as chairman Hon. Charles G. Sherman of Onondaga. Hon. Hamilton Fish and Theodore L. FPoole of Oneida_escorted Mr. Sherman to the chair. While Mr, Sherman was addressing the con- vention the republicans advocating the en- largement of the state committee prepared and gave to A. H. Steele of Troy, who in- troduced this compromise resolution on the subject. Resolyed, That the republican state com- mittee be and is hereby directed to formu- late and report to the next state convention a plan for its enlargement so that in as large a sense as may be practicable it shall be representative In character and the prosecution of campalgn work be brought thereby into close touch with the local lead- ers and conditions throughout the state. ENDORSED MORTON FOR PRESIDENT. Resolutions were received from the muni- cipal labor congress of New York, asking for a labor plank. Charles W. Bowen of New York introduced this resolution: All republicans of New York In state con- vention assembled cordially endorse the ad- ministration of Governor Levi P. Morton and express the hope that his name may be presented to the national republican con- vention of 189 as the cholce of republican representatives of the Empire state for the first place on the presidential ticket. The resolution was adopted by acclamation amid great applause, While the convention waited for the com- mittees to come in, the delegates espled Mr. Depew and raised such a tumult that he had to go on the platform. He made a brief ad- dress, lauding the republican party for its successful conduct of state affairs. It was 5 o'clock when the convention met and the committee on permanent organization reported Senator Clarence Lexow as chair- man, and he addressed the conventlon. When the report of the comittee on reso- lutions had been read, John E. Milholland presented a resolution for a committee to present a plan for enlarging the state com- mittee, and also read his resolution on Sun- day liquor selling and asked that it be con- sidered. A motion to lay it on the table was put and declared carried amid confusion, and then ex-Senator Miller got the floor with an amendment. Sticking his thumbs in his trousers pockets he began a vigorous speech in defense of the Sunday laws. Mr. Platt sat nervously stroking his beard and Senator Hiscock sat twirling in an equally nervous manner a cigar. The amendment read by Mr. Miller was: Resolved, That we favor the maintenance of the Sunday laws in the interest of labor and morality.” The amendment was adopted unanimously, and then the nomination of candidates was taken up. After one place on the ticket had been voted for it was seen that there would be no fight against the slate, and the ticket was made up by acclamation. At 7:45 the convention adjourned, ————— SELLING A MINE. How a Californian Got More Than Ho Bargained For. “It 1s the easiest thing on earth to sell a mine in London for almost any price, pr vided you have anything to show an expert, sald Major Frank McLaughlin to a San Fran- cisco Post reporter. “There s also a right way and a wrong way to go about It. Some time ago T went to London to negotiate the sale of some mining property. Of course the first thing I had to do was to let capital know what I was there for. Then, when in- quiries commenced, I simply said: “Gen- tlemen, I have mining property to sell. It you mean business and want to buy send your expert out to examina the property and make a report on it. “You will know then what you are buying.” “A ‘company was organized. The expert examined the property and reported favora- bly, and a meeting was held to discuss terms. ‘Now, major,’ said the spokesman, ‘we have found that the property may be worth something. What Is your price? ‘Two hundred and fifty thousand.' sald I. ' “That {s moro than we expected to pay. Weo expected to pay about two hundred. here 1s not much difference between two undred and two hundred and ffty. If you will drop the fifty we will take it “I had expected to get about $100,000 for the property, o with a show of reluctancy I agreed to accept their offer. When the apers were made cut I was surprised to foarn that they had been talking about pounds and 1 about dollars, but I was very careful not to let my surprise leak, and that 18 the way I got $1,000,000 for the mine. Great people to do business with.” o el STATE FAIR TOOK THE CROWD, Three Good Races on the Unlon Park Card. The biggest end of the crowd that has been attending the Union park races went to Omaha yesterday afternoon to take in the fair, and for those who remained there were but three races ca There wa good breeze blowing, but at no time w. it strong enough to interfore with the speed of the horses. The horsemen and their Jock- eys were not after any track records, but six and one-half furlongs in 1:221 and six furlongs in 1:14% were bursts of speed that have been equalled on but faw tracks in this country during the last few weeks, The feature of the first race was the flight of Post Boy before a fleld of ten good horses, whom he led all the way around and won in a drive wi n one-quarter of a ond of the track record. A telegraphic application to the secretary of the American Turf congress secured per- mission for Jockey Mclntyre, who was set down and fined for profanity, to ride Jo- sephine in the third and last’ race, and it was @ great race he rode. Gus Strauss led all the way around, with Josephine at his shoulder, The horee looked like a gure win- ner, but on the very last jump McIntyre seemed to pick up the little ‘mare and land her under the wire a nose ahead. The betting yesterday was strong and lively, but, as usual, the foreign book tovk the léad.

DALLAS, Tex., Sept. 17.—After two days corsumed in argument on the habeas cor- pus hearing of Jesse Clark, charged with prize fighting, Chief Justice J. M. Hurt of the court of criminal appeals decided this afternoon that the act in the penal code was wholly inoperative. He says: “It was I who first suggBsted to make prize fighting a felony. I wanted the state of Texas to take an advanced ground on the subject, which I regarded as the most brutal of acts, but my private opinion has nothing to do with the law. I do not believe that under the provisions of our statutes or the well settled rule of construction this man nas violated a law that has been so plainly written that he is responsible for it, and shall discharge him. I will give my reasons hereafter in writing."” At the closing remark €ome persons ap- plauded, and the court turning to them, sternly ®aid: “T will send you all to jail.” “They could not, however, be identified.” The court room was crowded with lawyers, preachers and pugilists, The state was represented by its attorney general. He sald to an Associated press representative that he has no further procedure to take. The points of contention by the attorney gereral were: 1. That the criminal law making prize fighting a felony and punishing it as a m demeanor had precedence over and repe; the civil law licensing prize fighting That the law was introduced when the laws were codified and was a re-enacted and not a continued law. Defendant’s counsel contended that as the criminal law went into effect on the 2d of last August and the license on the Ist of this September, the criminal law was re- pealed, and théy also contended and cited evidence to show that new laws had been added to the statutes by the codifiers and approved by the legislature.
