never hear a Californian speak of his country except in praise of it.

PACKERS ATTACK GRAND JURY
Attorneys for Indicted Men Malntair
Body Was Not Properly Drawn.
Chicago, Sept. 19. By pleas ir
abatement, attorneys representing the
seventeen packers and other persons
Indicted by the federal grand jury 011
a charge of conspiring in a trust ta
monopolize tho meat business, attack
ed tho position of the government
Tho attack was made against the 1m
panelling of tho jury; alleged lmprop
er service of a summons on John Mur
ray, ono of tho jurors; unlawful se
crecy at the time the jury was drawn
from the box; unlawful presence of a
stenographer In the Jury room during
the hearing and tho subsemient writ
ing of tho shorthand notes; that the
indictment was returned in tho east
crn division of Illinois, although tho
jury which found the indictment, was
sitting In the northern division of the
northern district. Tho plea, which la
very lengthy, was filed with District
Attorney C. B. Morrison after an all
day's conference between Attorney
John S. Miller, general counsel for
the packers, and a number of associ
ate counsel In tho caso.
The main ground upon which tho
defendants stand In their plea Is tho
presence of John Murray on the jury.
It is their claim that tho jury was
drawn from tho box previous to March
3, at which time a law ro-dlstrlctlng
the northern district of Illinois went
Into effect. Previous to this Kanka
kee county, tho home of John Murray,
was In the northern division of the
northern district of Illinois. By the
toims of the new law this county was
placed in tho eastern division of the
northern district, and therefore not
within tho jurisdiction of tho court.

in Kansas and Missouri.
Kansas City, Sept. 20. The sun
shone In western Missouri and Kan
sas, breaking tho rainy season of the
last two weeks. With tho cessation
of rain streams began to recede rap
Idly, and as a result conditions Im
proved materially. Tho Missouri Pa
cific had made such progress In re
pairing Us tracks that tho road ex
pected to send trains over their rogu
lar route today. Tho Missouri Pacific
used tho Burlington and Wabash
tracks between Knnsas City and St.
Louis, the dnmago on tho Wabash hav
ing been repaired. Tho Missouri, Kan.
sas and Texas sent its southern trains
over tho St. Inils and San Francisco
road to Fort Scott, Kan. West of Kan
sas City, tho only streams that con-
f lulled to cause tumble were tho
M anils des Cyguos, around Ottawa,
Kan., and within two counties west
of that place, and the erdlgris river
in the vicinity of Madison. Kan.,
where tho lowlands are still badly
flooded. At Hosedale, Knii., near Kan
mis City, tho water from Turkey creek
receded fast and tho people began
moving back Into their homes.

ANTI-CIGARETTE LAW VOID.
Such Is Decision of Judge Day of the
District Court.
Omaha, Sept 19. Judge Day of tho
district court declared the anti-cigar
ette law unconstitutional, Insofar as It
refers to tho giving away of cigarette
papers or "makings," which is not
covered In the title. In rendering tho
decision Judge Day went Into a dis
cussion of the law at some length. Ho
said there aro so many supremo court
decisions hearing on tho point that
only ono subject can be covered by
any legislative act and that tho tltlo
must fully cover tho subject matter.
In tho title of tho act In question
thero is no mention of tho giving
away or allowing tho taking of cigar
ette papc. This omission tho court
held to be latal In the caso at bar,
where John Alperson. a tobacco deal
er, was arrested by tho pollco on tho
chargo of giving away clgnrotto pa
per. Alperson's attorney, Judgo Mc
Hugh, asked for n writ of habeas
corpus, which Judgo Day grants. Tho
court ordered Alperson released from
custody.
Judgo Day was careful to say that,
whllo the particular part of the act
referred to Is clearly unconstitutional,
thero was no occasion to pass on tho
validity of tho balance of the act.
