Over in Marion county the county attorney has filed objections to paying coroner's fees in cases where the inquest showed that death resulted from natural causes, and was held only from Jthe fact that there was no attending physician. Tine matter is to be left to the three judges of the Superior oourt for decision.
Measles are abating in town, and diphtheria has almost disappeared from the city.

Some one interested in such mutters has found a curious thing in "the Year Book," the oldest book ot reference known to the law. This gentleman has found a decision there that it Is libelous to call a lawyer a fool, especially with a prefix, "because it is injurious to him in his profession." The funny part, however, Is to find it set forth that the same rule does not apply to a clergyman, for, says the book, one may be a good clergyman and yet a fool."
A hired girl at the residence of Isaac Ball, on uorth Third street, had a very narrow escape from death by asphyxiation, caused by escaping gas from a leak in the pipe, on Tuesday morning.

A physician was called, and after several hours' work consciousness ^ras restored, and she slowly recovered.
There are said to be 279 "hotels" in what is known as the World's Fair district, Chicago, the vast majority of which are nothing less than tire traps. They are, indeed, it is contended hardly better than wooden barracks, and that the building authorities should have allowed them to be put up is almost incomprehensible. All intending to visit the Fair should be careful as to where they secure accomodations. No one can afford to take ua necessary risks in such matters.

THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE
Looking After th« Alum »».! Ammonia ItMktng Povrdors. A bill for an act, entitled ".An Act to Regulate the Tratflc In Baking Powder," has been Introduced in the Legislature at Springfield, by Mr. Nohe. The bill is intended to prevent the adulterations of baking powders with Ammonia and Alum, imposing proper penalties to enforce the law, etc. This shows, an earnest desire on the part of our representatives to proteot their constituents.
The Chicago Tribune, referring to the question of leglilation in Alum and Ammonia baking powders, says: "It deals in a direct manner with an evil that must be cut down." •'Following ia a partial list of the names of the brands sold in this state that have been examined and found to contain either Ammonia or Alum. Many of the Alum and Ammonia powders are labeled and advertised as absolutely pure to mislead the public. "Calumet," "Forest City," "Chicago Yeast," "Grant's Bon Bon," "Hotel," "Taylor's One Spoon," "Unrivaled," "Snow Puff," "Snow Ball," "Zipp's Crystal," "Climax," "Monarch," "Western Pilnce," "Town Talk," "Crown," "Kenton," "Mammoth."
In addition to the above list there is a multitude of brands sold with a prize. It Is safe to reject all baking powders sold with a prise, as the tests show they are composed largely of alum and cost but a few cen^s per pound. Also refuse any baking powder sold at twenty-five cents a pound, or less It is sure to contain Alum.
Surely nothing but their cheapness could Induce the public to experiment with these impure powders at the risk of health. Aside from the question of health or the wkolesomeness of these condemned powders, and viewed from the standpoint of economy alone, a pure cream of tartar baking powder like "Dr. Price's," from its greater known strength and unquestioned purity, will prove mora economical to the user in every way.—Chiea«Q Inter-Ocean.
A sensation was sprung on the city county Finances. yesterday by the arrest of a fellowj These are the times when the county named Carl de Ricard, who is said to be treasurer and his deputies are kept busy by profession a fortuneteller, and who *r#m early morning till "the wee sma is charged with conspiring with Mary A Prelle to murder Mrs.. Fredrika Mille/. The troubles of Mrs. Prelle and her hudband, in which Mrs. Miller has been made to figure prominently, have attracted considerable attention in Kiley township foe some-time, culminating this week in a suit for divorce brought by Prelle against his wifie, and followed by the sensational charge of conspiracy to murder. It appears that De Ricard has been arrested on his own confession. He says that in consideration of his killing Mrs. Miller he ftras to be paid |500 by Mrs. Prelle—flOO on death, and f400 after the funeral. In pursuance of his agreement De Ricard went to Riley last January and sent a telegram to Mrs. Prelle announcing Mrs. Miller's death. Then he came to town, collected $100 from Mrs. Prelle and made himself scarce for a time. Last week he returned and made a clean breast of the affair to Mrs. Miller. The matter was investigated by the grand jury and yesterday Detective Dwyer placed De Ricard under arrest. Further developments are expected as the case progresses.
