require the clerk to kejp the ballots In the
boxes , after the ofllclal canvasii has been

The principal part of the business trans
acted was the final discussion and adoption
of the constitution and by-laws of the asso
ciation. This work line dragged through sev
eral meetings and some * of the members were
beginning to get weary of the talks. The
document was finally adopted as amended by
the special committee appointed for the pur
pose at tlio last meeting.
The few bills so far contracted were
audited and paid last evening ,
The sccrptary called attention to the fact
that several communications had been re
ceived bearing no signatures. Some of them
were in the , nature of a roast for various
people nnd things. This called forth a very
general expression of opinion that any man
who way ashamed to father any communica
tion ha might wrlto was too modest and his
opinions too fragile to bo taken Into consid
eration by the association , and the secretary
was Instructed to toke no notice hereafter
of any communication that was unsigned.
Tbo application of this rule shut out n very
earnest petition from the retail shoe clerks ,
asking tlio association to usw Its Influence to
secure shorter hours for the clerks during
the summer months. The petition did not
bear the name of any of the clerks' to bo

Editor Mnoro o ? the Iloane County Her
nia was oa tlio carpet yesterday afternoon
n tlio fedora ! court nml till on account of an
article whloli ho tlaslu-il ott In a hurried mo
ment , to the effect tt-al ll the federal mar
shals , JudROS s.nJ other officials were having
n big thins In HrrrstliiB people on trumped-
up charges an,1 pottlug rich on fee grabbing.
Judge Woolson Instructed tht graml Jury
to tiiko the matter under aflvloem nt and to
malio an Investigation for the purpose cf
ascertaining whotlicr .Moore was talking by
the card or whether ho was Just writing on
that subject In a general way for a lack
of PompJliIng batter to wrlto about. The
grand Jury called Mr. Moore down from
llnonu and luil several Interviews with him.
The result of the Interviews was made pub
lic In tin ? report of tht grand Jur > yesterday
afternoon.
After rccltlnc the fncts leading up to the
calling of Moore befuro the Jury the re
port continued :
Moore admitted that he hlnipelf hud writ
ten said artlclo nnd Hint In * could not now
support any statement intule In ald ar
ticle by any fnct whatsoever , nor coulil
ho oven Blvo the mi mo of uny witness or
Witnesses Avho could 01 would testify to
anything or any met which would lend
In any way to support the allegations
made by him In the aforesaid newspaper
tu tlcle. Air , Moore nlao stated to us and
In our presence that ho knew of no way In
which this grand jury could secure cvl-
denco to Mipport the cliarges so made by
him , paid Moore ; and he further admitted
that mild statement * inude by him In said
article were eironeotis , wltnout foundation
and that no attention whatever should be
paid to the same , as the same presented
no fncts and ho had no way to support
said statements.
In further considering the testimony
given before the grand Jury It would seem
to be proper to state that Mr. Moore re
ferred the grand Juror * to the published
remarks of Hon. O.V , Underwood , a
representative In congress from the Ninth
district of the state of Alabama , as the
Bamo appeared In the columns of the Con-
giesslonal Kccord , pending the passage of
the bill recently enacted Into a law
whereby court olllclals are , In the future.
to be paid stated salaries for their services
Instead of fees , as hitherto. The remark
so referred to. and also the published ex
pressions of other congressmen during the
same debate , assailed the reputations of
Twurt olllccrs In a general way. Indicating
that many had been guilty of extortion
and fee grabbing without , however , making
a single specification or personal allusion
Mr. Moore further Instanced certain tele
grams sent out from the city of Wash
ington to the Des Molnes Register am
other newspapers of wide circulation ant
great Influence , wherein the substance o
charges similar to those spoken In con
gressional debate was repented In a man
ner calculated to bring the reputations of
federal court otllclals Into reproach ant
popular suspicion. Hacked by such In-
Ftances of public defamation the editor of
the ISoono Herald was Impressed with the
Idea that fee grabbing had become a cry
Ing evil , and In giving currency to the
passage of the new law of congress he
thoughtlessly but unjustly employed Ian
gtiago which included the honorable fudge
of this court , and also the marshal of this
district and his assistants , among the num
ber of the nameless olllclah who have
been assailed In a general manner. While
the references given this grand jury by
Mr. Moore afford no extenuation for the
grave error he has committed , they open
the way for the grand jurors of this cour
to deprecate , In very earnest and sincere
terms , the habit of a large part ot the
.public press , and of men high In public
contl < > acek to make use of statements
calculated to cast odium upon olllclnls en
gaged In the administration of Justice am
to lessen the degree of respect which al
good citizens ought to cherish for the
courts of our land.
Then the jury made a nice llttlo talk on
the pronenesa of newspapers to get hot dur
ing political campaigns and lose sight of
facta There was also an appeal to the edi
tors to weigh carefully every word written
for the public , and lo keep the tone of the
editorial columns high. The Jury did not
think that the court ought to take any notice
cf the article , as there was no foundation
for It , In fact. The jury had bsen unable ,
the report stated , to find that any of the
marshals or other officials of the court had
been guilty of any malfeasance or misfeas
ance In office , and that there was really
nothing to Investigate. The report was
signed by all the members of the grand Jury
and was read to the court by Clerk Stead-
man.
man.Editor Moore was present when tha grand
jury's report was made , and he made an
open statement to the court. He apologized
very nicely for the publication , and stated
the misapprehensions under which the ob
noxious artlclo had been written. His state
ment was very manly , and he was compli
mented by Judge Woolson and other court
officials upon his manner of righting what
the court officials felt was a grievous
wrens.
Before adjourning the grand Jury adopted
tha following :
Resolved. By the members of the grand
Jury for the present term of United States
district court for Hhe soutlrcrni dlstilct

thanks to Hon , Charles D , Fullen , United

DBS MOINES , March 25. ( Spiclal. ) The
senate had under consideration the house
bill joining Marshall county In n judicial
district with Benton and Tama counties ,
and providing for two judges. The demo
crats objected to the 1)111 as being a purely
mrtlsan measure , Intended to make the
Tnma-llenton district republican In politics.
Senator Watciman did not object to the
changa In 'ho district , but was opposed
o the creation of a now Judge. Ho re
garded It trcrcly as a means of Increasing
: axatlon. The bill finally passed , eight re-
mbllcans voting with nil tha democrats In
opposition ,
The bill Inking Henry county out of the
ccand Judicial district nnd joining It with
Loulea and Dos Molnes counties and making
n single district out of Lee county , Involv-
. ; the election of another judge , came up
icxt. Senator Harper argued that It was
a political move me'cly , designed to change
the political complexion of the district. Sen
ator Carroll ( rep. ) of Davis said there was
no necessity for such nn additional expense.
It was not demamlo.l by any county except
llonry.
Senator Waterman ( rep. ) warned the re
publicans that the party could not afford-
to gerrymander the state for political ad
vantage. The taxpayers would not endorse
this additional Inc'ease In the number of
JuJges , for which there Is no reasonable
excuse.
Senator Carpenter made a savage attack
upon Waterman , nnd hinted that he ought
to Join the democratic party If lie was BO
solicitous ot Its welfare. He said Henry
county formerly belonged with the proposed
district nnd was taken out as a political
expedient.
After further sparring between Carpenter
and Harpsr , the bill was put on final read
ing and passed , receiving one more than
the necessary constitutional majorlly.
Owing to the sickness ot Senator Rlggcn
nnd the enforced absence of Senator Blanchard -
chard , Senator Ellis movcJ that the manu
factures bill go over till Thursday of next
week. Senato's Eaton , Rowen nnd Berry
objected. Senator Waterman thought the
measure should have a fair consideration.
Senator Phelps thought It had been made
a special order without the knowledge of
many senators and should be returned to
Its place on the calendar. After further
debate tha special order was contlnuoJ till
next Tuesday.
EXCLUDES NEARLY EVERYBODY ,
The Judiciary committee of the senate
has reported n bill providing ; for the selec
tion of petit jurors for the i district court.
The new law fixes aru educational quali
fication , requiring all Jurors > to bo men of
good moral character , sound judgment , in
full possession of the senses of seeing nnd
hearing , nnd able to spqak , read nnd write
the English language. The exemptions are

Maybe In the early stages some of the

Is only one speedy and sure remedy. It Is
Pyramid Pile Cure. Even in light cases It

The sickness comes
on gradually , mid
they get used to it

niins their lives just

man in a hundred , perhaps , is perfectly
healthy. Sometimes her weakness is in

out the hollows in her cheeks , bring color
to her lips , brighter her eyes , nnd make
her really and truly a woman. The " I'a-

value nt three stages in the lives of every
woman when the girl becomes ri woman ,
when the woman becomes a mother , and
when the mother become * incapable of
