DELEGATION SENT TO PUSH THE MEASURE ment that All Supreme Judges Shall Live in the State ita The Cummins bill now before the state legislature was indorsed in strong ferms by the Pottawattamie County Bar associa- tion yesterday at a meeting called by Presi- dent Finley Burke to disowss the measure. Not only did the association indorse the bill, but it selected a delegation to ge to Des Moines to present | fews on the mat- ter to the proper legislative committees. The delegation is a representative one and is composed of Emmet Tinley, chairman: Hon. John N. Baldwin, Judge J. R. Reed, C. M. Harl, John M. Galvin and A. T. Flick- inger.

Under this system, it is practically impossible, in the average case, to have the ripened judg- ment of more than one judge, and it abso- lutely debars the oral argument of causes by counsel, which a1l of the most eminent courts have declargl to be not only con- ducive to better wirk on the part of the court, but practically essential to the atisfactory determination of Important as and cases. The proposed legislation will enable the court, gn the discharge of its business, to in some degree follow the practice of the supreme court of the United States and the circult courts of appeals, which have been found to be the methods best adapted 0 the most satisfactory discharge of ju- t diclal duty. We believe this system will be conducive isfactory dis- o to the more_orderly and s charge of the duties of the court, and meet the objections which have been T valent among litigants and the bar.

APPEALS BIG LIQUOR CASE State's Attempt to Seize Intoxicants from Nebraska is Taken Higher. A case, the final outcome of which is of much lmportance to wholesale dealers ship- ping liquor into Iowa, was appealed yes- terday to the supreme court by County At torney Killpack at the direction of State’s Attorney Geneial Mullan. The case is en- titied the State of Jowa against Certain In- toxicating Liquors and the United States Express Company. The United States Express company car- ried a shipment of liquor from a dealer in Omaha consigned to twenty persons in Oak- land, Ia., cash >n delivery. The liquor was seized by a constable on a search warrant, an information having been filled before Justice Butler of that town that the ex- press company was keeping liquor for sale in violation of law. The prosecution con- tended that inasmuch as the persons to whom the liquor was consigned paid for it when taking it out of the express company's office, it practically amounted to a sale of the liquor there and then. The proceedings under the search warrant were tried be- fore a jury in Justice Butler's court, which returned a verdict condemning the liquor. An appeal was taken to the district court and Judge Wheeler, at the recent term in Avoca, reversed the findiug of the justice's court jury and ruled in favor of the express company. Judge Wheeler held that, under a decision of the supreme court of the United States, to selze liquor while in shipment was an Interference with interstate commerce, and that the ehipment of the liquor cash on de- livery virtually constituted a Nebraska sale. Several similar cases are pending in vari- ous parts of the state and Attorney (ieneral Mullan, being anxious to have the question decided by the state supreme court, in- structed the county attorney to appeal this case.

BILL TO REQUIRE FREE PASSES NEW fon is Hard at Work— Actor Cope Has Been Heard From—New Incorpora- tions. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Feb. 21.—(Spectal.)—The Towa legislature will recognize the national holiday tomorcow, and both houses ad- Journed over until Monday morning. The wenate entertained a resolution to take a recess from Febrnary 27 to March 3 on ac- count of 80 many members having business at home March 1. The major portion of the day in the sen- ate was spent in discussion of the Emmert bill to transtorm the penitentiary at Ana- mosa into a reformatory for men. This provides that the prison shall become reformatory after the plan of those in other states and all persons who are under 31 years of age except those who have been convicted of murder may be semt the stead of receiving prison sentences. There are provisions for paroles and determina- tion of sentences and transfers to the pris- ons where that may be deemed necessary. Some objection to the measure came up. An effort was made to place manslaughter in the list of excluded crimes, but this falled. Senator Ball declared his beliet that the bill in its present form would be unconstitutional in that it provides that the Board of Control may assume some of the offices of the judiclary of the state in determining the length of sentences. He offered amendments to correct this. Sen- ator Trewin also offered amendments, and in view of the importance of the measure, which contemplates a complete change in the prison systems of the state, it was made a special order for next Tuesday morning. The bill to provide for the support of the insane hoepital at Cherokee passed the senate. It fixes the percapita per month at $15 for the present, but provides that it shall be reduced as the number of In- mates Increases. The other hospitals re- celve $12 per month, and the state is to pay the difference between the $12 a month and whatever is pald at Cherokee. The bill to provide for notices in gar- nishment proceedings in justice courts was passed. The house conmsidered the bill to take from mayors of cities and towns their juriediction in eriminal cases and after debating it some time it was defeated. Require Free Passes. In the house Representative Donohue in- troduced a bill to require that all railroad companies shall furnish free transporta- tion to state officials, members of the su- preme court and members of the general assembly.

Feb. 21.—(Special.) ~Judge Whitaker of this district has just handed down a declsion in favor of Arch- bishop Keane In the case brought some time ago by the German Catholics of Wil- llams, a town east of this city. The German Catholic church at Williams was rebullt in 1895, after having been de- stroyed by a tornado. For the new church the German Cathollcs contributed $3,000. They brought suit for the return of this on the ground that they had contributed it with the express understanding with the archbishop that a priest should be sent them who could speak both English and German. This was never done. The court decides in favor of the archbishop, hold- ing that he has the right to send any priest to whatsoever parish he ples and that insomuch as the Germans afe greatly In the minority it would be unjust to sell the church away from the majority in or- der to return to a small minority thelr money.

WHERE POSTAL CARDS ARE MADE. A Rusy Place in the M ot West Virginl In a little West Virginia mountain town situated high up In the Appalachian range, not far from the border of Maryland, is located the modest plant that turns out millions. of postal cards every month for the United States government. The town is Pledmont, W. Va., and here the busy factory is at work six in the week, making the little oblong sheets of card- board which are destined to carry mes- sages of all sorts from all conditions of people. Here, also, is made the cardboard from which the postal cards are made; here it is cut into the requisite izes and the cards printed, and finally packed and shipped into every state, city, town and hamlet in the United States, Porto Rico, Hawall and the Philippine islands. The postal card manufactory, relates the Philadelphia Record) is a two-story, fire- proot brick bullding with a cement roof. The building is further protected by patent automatic fire sprinkiers, with an abundant supply of water, so that danger from fire s reduced to a minimum. The bullding is not large—about 100x60 feet. The power to run the machinery 's furnished by the plant of the paper company whose large establishment adjoins that of the postal works. The first floor of the bullding is used for a press room, casing room and & dry roonr for the printed postal cards. There are two printing presses in the press room each having a capacity of 1,200 impressions an hour. The size of the sheets of paper used on these presses is 50x30 inches, and each sheet contains . ninety postal cards ready to be cut and packed when it comes from the press. The dies used in the print- ing of the cards are, of course, furnished by the government. The presses are oper- ated by four men, each of whom works elght hours every day. In the casing room one man Is kept busy putting together the knocked-down plne boxes in which the carde are packed for shipment. These boxes are made of plne grown in West Virginia, and are shipped “knocked-down™ to the contractor. The boxes vary In size, holding 5,000, 10,000, 25,000 or 100,000 cards, respectively. The largest shipment ever made from the Pledmont works was & con- signment of 24,000,000, which went out on June 16, 1900. The paper must contaln 69 per cent of sulphite spruce fibre, 22 per cent of soda chemical poplar fibre bleached, and 9 per cent of English clay. All of these com- ponents must be clean and free from im- pertections; calendered to a uniform weight and thickness, and finished on both sides suitable for writing with ink or pencil the tint in all cases being, of course, uniform buff. Even the temsile strength is tested, and, in fact, In every possible detall the cards must conform to & rigid government standard. Even the quality of the ink used in printing the cards and its color, black, must be exactly as the gov- ernment has stipulated in the specific tions under which the contract is let, and what is kmown as a water finish to the material used in the manufacture of the cards is not permitted. The regular force at the postal card manufactory numbers only forty employes, halt of whom are women and the re- maindér men. A MALICIOUS MEDDLER. Yo & Woman Had Very Good Gr for Detesting Him. Two well-dreesed and attractive young women—business girls, apparently—rustled into a cer the other morning and took seats, relates the Detroit Free Press. After they were comfortably adjusted, with parcels and umbrellas, the one in the blue cloth suit scanned the two men who sat opposite and remarked to her companion: t0o near the stove here; let's move Then the girls arose and took seats far- ther down, out of range of the two men. “What was the matter, Clara?" the other ed; “it wasn't really too warm back the first girl answered with spirit, “but that horrid man with the brown hat and overcoat sat near us. He is always on the car near me, Laura, and I detest the sight of him,” “I don't know him,” commented Laura; ‘who 16 he?” “Why, I don’t know him, either,” Clara explained, “but T won't sit where I have to look st him." “Has he ever been rude to you?' asked Laura. “Rude? 1 think so. About three months ago 1 dreamed I was standing before the altar in a lovely church all decorated with palme and flowers and was just about to be married—oh, to such a handsome man, Laura, and that hideous old thing in the brown hat and coat—the very same man— came rushing down the aisle and arrested my promised husband for bigamy.” Friendly Ald.
