The wholesale arrests of the gamblers on
Monday has arouse-d a good deal of Interest
In Iho city and .bids . fair 'to ' bo the begin
ning of a campaign against all kinds of
gambling and gambling devices , Including
the slot machines , which are thlckcr thau the
lamp posits all over the city.
County Attorney Saunders yesterday spoke
very frankly when questioned about his In
tentions In regard to the prosecution of the
cases now In court. "There will bo none
of them dismissed , " ' said he , "and none
of the men Indicted will t > o permitted to
escape ell of the punishment the law pro
vides , Any other statement would , of course.
bo Inconsistent with my position as public
prosecutor and my duty , but I want It under
stood by this 'that I mean all I say. There
have been other attempts to prosecute the
gamblers of the city , but this Is the first
time that the grand jury has spread Ha net
wide enough to catch all of the proprietors
and attaches of the licuscs in this city , at
least , in recent years. I may not be able
to lining the cases to trial at this term
of 'the ' district court , for I have an cxtraor-
dlnarlly heavy criminal docket at Avoca ,
but 1 will say again that none of the cases
will be permitted to go by default.
"In raj' opinion the slot machines are In
finitely worse tlun the gambling houses and
nro doing an Incalculably greater amount of
Injury to thr youth of the city. They are
educating the American boys and the Amer
ican people to become a race of gamblers.
The evil Is great and the danger greatest
for the reason that the machines are In
hundreds of public places and every oppor
tunity Is given the boys to play them. This
fact was brought to my mind on last Sun-
cMy evening when returning home. Within
the distance of two or three blocks on the
' upvcr end of Brradnay and Pierce street
I passed three groups of boys , all of the
boys , I should Judge , to bo under 18 years
of age , and ns I passed them 1 noted the.
fact that all of them were talking about
their losses or their winnings In the slot
machines. This Is only ono Instance , but It
brought perhaps more forcibly to mind the
danger that we are permitting our children
to be subjected to. If there Is a war to be
Inaugurated on gambling the slot machines
should be the first to go. "
Chief of Police Canning and Assistant
County Attorney Smith spoke in a Htmllar
strain and each singled out the slot machines
as being equally pernicious , If not really
more dangerous , to the moral welfare of the
city than the gambling houses as they arc
now being run. Chief of Police Canning
spoke very emphatically In his condemnation
and Intimated that an order to clear out the
machines from all parts of the city would
I bo most willingly and promptly obeyed. Each
I felt that the present agitation would mcst
likely result In the Issuance of such an order.
In the prouccutlon of the cases there will
be no difficulty In procuring evidence , for the
reason that the new code contains a provision
i which prevents the witness from falling back
' upon his constitutional privilege of refusing
to answer questions that might Incriminate
himself. The now law requires him to tes-
I tlfy , but provides that he ! testimony cannot
! ' be used against him. This will enable the
i 1 county attorney to call as witnesses any person -
son whom ho knows has been gambling In
cither of the houses.

for I , . C. Smith TnUrn
inrnt In Default.
The attorney for L. C. Smith stole a march
on the members of the Board of nducatlon
yesterday morning and took a default In the
suit brought by Smith to recover from the
board the original contract price for his
heat retainer and ventilating device , which
the board authorized him to place In the
High school building. In the default the at
torney secured judgment for the full amount
of Smith's claim , $225 , and $300 damages
which the device has sustained from the
notoriety given It by the board's rejection.
The hoard had received no Intimation that
such a move was contemplated and had en
gaged ao attorney to look after Its Interest ,
Hcllance was placed upon the agreement be
tween the members of the board and the at
torney for Mr. Smith that no default should
bo taken , at least until after the regular
meeting of the board on Monday night , when
It was expected that some kind of a com
promise could be effected. This comrromlse
was not reached , but the matter was referred
to the committee on fuel and heating and
the special committee that was appointed for
the purpose of making the tests with at least
the tacit understanding that another ofllclal
test was to bo made' . President Morgan , of
the board and Chairman Moore of the fuel
committee were accordingly very much
surprised yesterday morning to learn
Hut the attorneys were In the district court
at 9 o'clock asking Judge Green to grant a
a judgment In. default. It wes too late for
the board to engage an attorney to look
after the matter In time to prevent the con
templated action. At 10 o'clock they suc
ceeded In reaching Attorney Stewart by
telephone and engaging him to look after
the cnse. Ho reached the court
house In a few minutes , but found he
was half an hour too late. He filed a motion
to have the judgment set aside , alleging that
the contract was not completed and pleading
the tacit understanding the board had with
the attorneys for the plaintiff. The motion
was argued to the court and taken under
advisement.
The case "of the Mechanics' Saving bank
against Din Carrlgg and others , which has
been on trial for the last two days , was
finished yesterday and submitted to the
court. The suit Involves the title to nearly
all of the real estate owned by Carrlgg In
this city , and all of the parties who have
filed claims upon It are made parties to the
suit. The $20,000 row of flats on Fourth
street Is Involved In the suit.

DES MOINES , la. , Nov. 1C. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The libel suit of the American I3ook
company against President George A. Gates
of Iowa college will not be disposed of at the
present term of federal court , which opened
today. President Gates published a pamphlet
accusing the book company of corrupting leg
islatures , school olllclala , etc. , and was
promptly sued lor libel. A motion will bo
made tomorrowby the attorneys for the defense -
fenso to dismiss the action , and It It Is over
ruled , a demurrer will bo filed by the de
fense. If this falls , the defense will fllo a
long and highly sensational answer , which
Is said to Involve multitudes of charges much
worse than these made In the original pamphlet -
phlot , supported by affidavits of educators
and other people from all over the country.
The mulct law and the pharmacy law of
Iowa are sadly mixed , and It Is charged that
every druggist In tbo state who sells liquor
Is llablo for payment of the mulct tax. The
pharmacy law provides for the Issuance by
district judges of permits to pharmacists to
sell liquors. The law provides a form of
permit , and It Is charged that the permit
now In use- does not comply with the law ;
that the law requires that a permit be Issued
for a specific term , whereas the present form
makes practically a perpetual permit during
good behavior. The Lucas county supervis
ors have assessed the mulct tax against all
druggists In that county , and the parties have
brought Iho matter before the attorney gen
eral and pharmacy commission. If the point
Is held good every end of the 2,000 druggists
in Iowa will bo llablo for the ? GOO annual
mulct tax. The druggists of Lucas county
will take the matter before the State Phar
macy association and Into the next legisla
ture.

DAVENPORT , la , , Nov. 16. ( Special. )
For some years horse stealing has been al
most unknown In Iowa because ot the com
parative low prices of horses and the dm-
pccslblllty of marketing stolen animals , but
within the past year a number of cases of
horse stealing have been reported In this
part of the state. Years ago horse stealing
was common here and the heavy woods
down , the river were favorite hiding places
for 'the gangs operating' from Missouri to
Wisconsin. The farmers In the neighbor
hood of the town of Wlcott have tired of
the depredations of bftrse thieves and have
organized the Walcolt Horse company , for
the purpose of prosecuting horse thieves and
other criminals. Articles' ' of Incorporation of
thu company have 'been ' filed , the Incorporators -
tors toeing Hans Soenke" , president , and
Henry Stoltenberg , secretary. Among the
officers of the society are to be a captain
and lieutenants. It ibelng their duty , upon
notification that a member of the society
has been robbed , to-call-together as many
members as they see fit and to conduct a
full Investigation of the robbery and a
search or pursuit of the thieves , the cap
tain to bo the custodian of a sufficient fund
to pay the expenses' ' of such Investigation.
All members are to keep a correct de
scription of the horse 'owned 'by them , and
any member called Upon to help coral a
'thief ' will be liable to a. fine of not over $20
If he does not respond In person or by sub
stitute. It Is evident that the vicinity of
Wajcott will foe an unprofitable field In the
future for the man who coveteth the farm
er's horse.

The hearlnR of the application of I'rof. H.
W. Sawyer for n writ of mandamus to com
pel the Hoard of Supervisors to count the
election returns from the Second precinct
of the Sixth ward did not occur jcsterday ,
owing to the fact that the attorneys could
not bo brought around to the belief that the
forenoon In the superior court \\oiilil give
sufficient tlmo for making the arguments.
The afternoon had been previously set tor
hearing the arguments In the Ferry addi
tion squatter cases , lly agreement the hear
ing was postponed until Wednesday morn
ing fit 10 o'clock. The attorney for the
board and Prof , Paulson amended his an
swer and Introduced some new matter
that required tlmo for consideration by the
attorneys on the other side. The Interest
that the case has attracted was sufficient to
(111 ( the court room with spectators.
The Interim will bo used by the attorneys
for Sawyer hunting up additional authorities
to strengthen their contention that the can-
vaEsliiR board had no poucr to refuse to
count the vote and change the result of the
election so far no the county superlntendcncy
of schools was concerned.

Inn a I'I-I-KM Comment.
Sioux "City Tribune : By the retirement
of Sovereign the Knights of l bor have
quietly given notice of a more conservative
policy.
Sioux City Times : It has been ascertained
that eleven men were killed In Kentucky on
last election day which Is utmost as bad as
foot ball.
DCS Molnes I/eader : The now code will
bo about a week more than three months
old when the legislature meets , and U Is
common report that the legislature IntenJs
to 1111 the young thing full of blow holes.
Des Molnes Leader : The retirement of
James H. Sovereign from tue master work
manship of the Knights of Labor does not
seem to have thrown a pall of grief over
Iowa , the state wherein lie so long resided.
Des Molnes Capital : The credit of the
United States \\ould have to run to a pretty
low ebb before this government would do
what Venezuela has done on account of n
straitened financial condition , viz : stop pay
ment on pensions of veterans and war
widows.
Cedar Rapids Republican : Senator John II.
Gear , who lias been visiting friends In Cedar
Rapids during the pant week , Is the picture
of strength and health , Ho will soon pro
ceed to Washington to look after Iowa's am :
the nation's Interests In the long session of
congress. He Is still "Old Business" with
n big "B. "
Hull Index : For the benefit of some free
sllveritee wo will state that Governor-elect
Shaw's home county , Crawford , has always
been democratic ; Fred White's home county ,
Keoltuk , has been slightly republican. This
year they both remained In their respective
columns with a good gain for Shaw In Craw
ford and also In Keokuk county.
Davenport Democrat : Tiiere is to be
music lu the air at the Omaha exposition ,
and It is to be lowu music. Forty boys
chosen from the Industrial school at Eldora
have closed an engagement to blow their
bugles , beat their drums and make the big
show grounds ring. Most boys have an ab-
bltlon to play In the band , and these Eldora
lads have shown that they know how to do It.
Dubuque Times : Senator Wolcott profcesos
to be hcyeful ot the success of International
bimetallism. The penator must be of a san
gulnc temperament. International bimetal
lism Is so far In the future that the senator
If ho should live a century , will not see It
There Is no use talking about that. We
have reached the limit of negotiations anil
ought now to give attention to the demands
of business Interests. No financial polic >
that will disturb the present standard o
value will bo followed by any nation hav
ing the gold standard.

circulated report that he Intends to sell his
Inrge real estate holdings here and make
his permanent home In California
And Consider the All-Important Fact ,
That in addressing Mrs. Pinkliam you are con
fiding your private ills to a woman a woman
whose experience in treating woman's
diseases is greater than that of any liv
ing physician male or female.
You can talk freely to a woman
when it is revolting to relate your
private troubles to a man besides ,
a man does not understand simply
because he is a man.
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse , know
ing full well that they oughttohnvo
immediate assistance , but a natural
modesty impels them to shrink from
exposing themselves to the questions
and probably examinations of even
their family physician. It is unneces
sary. Without money or price you
can consult a woman , whose
knowledge from actual experi
ence is greater than any local
physician in the world. The fol
lowing invitation is freely offered ;
accept it in the same spirit :
MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION.
Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinhhum at Lynn , Mass. All letters are received ,
opened , read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman ; thus has been established the eternal confidence be
tween Mrs. Pinkliam and the women of America which has never been broken ,
Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from , it is moro
than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your
case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will , and her adv co has
relieved thousands. Surely any woman , rich or poor , is very foolish if she docs
not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. Lydia h. linklmra
