CEDiiiK.iiH9 , la , Oct. 17. [ Special Telo-
pram toTiiEBen-J-Judge Stoneraan of the

decision in three liquor cases. The situation
is as follows :
Lost June the Anhcuser-Duscn brewing
company of St. Louis opened an original pack
age house at Marion and appointed Joseph
Coencn as their agent , who sold becriu
original packages only. il. H. A brims , pas
tor of one of the churches , instituted search
proceedings , and the liquors were seized.
The Anheuscr-Buih company began proceed
ings to en Join A brains from seizing the goods ,
and also commenced action in replevin to re
cover the pools already seized. The defend
ant demurred to the petition , holding that
under the state lairs a wit la replevin would
tot lie to recover beer in the state of Iowa ,
Judge Stoneman , after hearing the facts In
the case , overruled the demurrer of the dc-
fendnnt , holding tbatan action in replevin
would lie to recover under an uncon
stitutional statute , quoting Cooley against
Divls. 24 Iowa , 12S , in 'Mhlch the law-
Is declarecl unconstitutional as to tnc injunc
tion proceedings instituted by plaintiff. The
court held that the act of congress , approved
IS'.K ) , known as tne Wilson bill , was not retro
spective in 1U operation , but it U simply
Iicrmissivo to the several states to legislate in
the eiercise of the state police powers on a
subject matter , and declarinc that since the
courthad subsequent to the passage of the
Wilson bill decided the Iowa law as regards
the sale of liquors In original packages null
and void , therefore the law is still null and
void. He therefore granted a perpetual in-
iunctlon to restrain Ahrams from further in
terfering with the business of the plaintiff in
selling liquors in original packages.
The judge has had t to case In consideration
since September 29.

probable that at the approaching session of

Senator Peltlgrwsnjs it ivould bo greatly
to the advantage of the United States to
offer a bounty , as does tbe state of

to bring about tbo early extinction
of tbo animal and direct attention

It was almost S o'clock. The children of

Holy Virgin. awaiting the morning bencdle-

candles flamed with brightness. The llttlo
servitor with his torch lllttea about the altr.r

against the burning candlus n startled cry
was heard and hi nn instaut the draperies of

"Pence , children , nothing shall harm you , ' *

from their hangings , and tie little one * ,
accustomed to obey Implicitly the command *
of the holv father , sat sllent.lv with terror-
stricken faces , watching the efforts of the
Driest and his servitors , who were rapidly
stamping out the llamcs. The danger was
almost p.issod . and the last burnitii ; drapery
jad been torn from its place when an old
woman came running down the steps into the

came a struggling mass of desperate , be
wildered children. Toward the door they

The scene which ensued was frightful.
None of the children were over eleven > cnrs

they fell and were trampled upon by their

frightened crowd to the spot , but noono
seemed to bo able : to render the children any
assistance. An alarm of lire was turned In
und soon the clanging , clashing engines and
rattling patrol wagons surrounded the place ;
seemingly only serving for a tiino to add to
the terror of'tho scene. The mothers and
friends of the struggling children began to
appear. The factories and workshops
poured out the fathers and brothers
of the little ones and heartrending were the
scenes as the frightened parents rushed
screaming-through the crowd in their agon *
izcd search for missing children. Soon the
police and firemen pained some control over
the frightened crowd and while men entered
the church by a rear door and prevented
