The defendants demurred on the sroundB ) ( hat section 1371 of the cede was not only unconstitutional but also not retroactive , nnd applied only to taxeri which hnrt been overlookeil since thn code wont into effect. JuilRo Dewey held thnt the section was both constitutional and retroactive and under his ruling collections can be made for taxes withheld or for any reason not listed any tlinn within flvo yours from the demand by Iho treasurer. This decision beltm the tlrst to dctermlno the qmwttnn Is of tlio utmost Importance , as It menus probably the col lection of a largo sum In taxes In this county on property which has been either InhUtrtcicntly or not nBse sed at all.

IOWA LEGISLATIVE DOINGS I , Outlines of Some of the Measure that An Up for D Ktmion. FEW OF IMPORTANCE ARE D'SPOSED OF lleuiilntlon of I nKurnnee riiiiiiiiiili-i mill Iliillillnir ninl I.onii VnNiieln- tlililH limn 1,1MlilKIn liettlim \fiei1 tin'ulooiiN. . DES MO1NES. Feb. U. ( Special Tele gram. ) None ot the several Important HI IB- ure * touching thu insurance ! interealt of the state have as yet been disposed of by the ipRlHlftture. During the lust week tno house passed thu bill to repeal tile itato tax of I per cent upon the groM receipts of home In surance companies doing biisiuesa In the state , but the senate has taken no action. The bill Is not expected to uii'et with such nil easy success in thu upper body , though i there is a goad chance of Its Html passage. Then there Is the valuwl polity law proposed bv Senator BrlRhtou of Fairtleld which hna not yet been acted upon by the committee on Insurance. \ hearing upon the measure will be held Tuesday afternoon. One of the other Important Insurance measures , and one which Is expected to precipitate a sharp light because of UH Intricacy and the mimRor undorstandlnR of the measure lu general , is the bill of Hayward of Scott. Iu the senate , for the Rovernmcnt of stipulated premium llfo insurance companies or associations. The bill Is lengthy and provides a complete plan for the management of these concerns. | IC'llll \ HC1MIliellt I.U1V. Onu of the Rrave questions confronting the cltli-rt and towns committee of the assembly , j an done which will largely ho determined , there , IB the special assessment law of cities , j the measure to change the front font method j of paving assessments to the henetlt system. ' This IH now In the hands of a subcommittee - \ tee in the senate compose : ! of Trowln. chair man of cities and towns : Hazletoti , the author of the senate bill ; Huhhard , Cheshire and Mullan , which IB at work upon a nub- I stttuto which will meet the ease. Senator j Trewln Is of the opinion that the scope of , the Norwood caso. as affe"tlug special as- segments under the Iowa law. has boon j greatly overstated. He says the assessment j In that case was expressly madu without ref- I urenco to benefits , and the acts of the town i council constituted such flagrant violation of the rights of the party that any court would feel Impelled to set the assessment aside. He says he has heard eminent law yers In discussing this case say that the court will not. In all probability , adhera strlctlv to Its doctrines. In fact , the court has distinguished It from other similar cases and. althntiRh there waa an attempt to secure I an expression from the court along the same ! lines In the caHes of Dewey against Dos Molncs. the court decided this case on a dif ferent point , holding that a judgment could not bo rendered against a non-resident for the excess of the assessment over the valtio of the property. In this case it would seem thut the present law does not stand in njed has been anticipated of as sweeping changes aa pated would be made. Limit of ImlelililneNH. . Another intricate problem affecting city government throughout , t % 8talc i3 now in the hands of the ways and means com mittee of the senate. It is another bill ! hy Huzluton of Pottawauamlo and provides ! for the repeal of section 1S06 of the code , limiting the indebtedness of cities. The bill has been considered by the senate com- mitoe on cities and towns and then referred on. Its recommendation to the ways anil means committee , which is. now consider ing thn best solution of th'p question. When ih" revenue law was revised , two years ago It was provided that property must be listed at actual cash value , 25 per cent of which was to be the basis of taxation. The con stitution says that cities and towns and counties shall not incur Indebtedness ; ex ceeding 5 per cent of the value of taxable property. This Is taken to mnan the cash \alue. Under the old revenue law this was n per cent of an assessed value , which , while purporting to be a. cash value , aver aged about 20 per cent of real value. Now. with the real cash valtio secured under the new law , the limit of debt would be raised to four or live times what it formerly was had not section 1306 been incorporated in the new code , providing that the debt should not bo higher than the average for 180T ami 1S9S. This was Intended aa termporary only , till the workings of the new lav ; ot.ulil bo ascertained. Now the towns which would be entitled to increase their debt 1 above the average of ISO" and 1S9S am I clamoring to got the limit removed , while i other towns fear to have th& restriction removed , lest extravagant councils or au- I pcrvising boards abuse thu open limit.

A measure which will attract as much at tention from different parts of the state as 1 any bill before thn present legislature , has ' been introduced by the members from Hur- dlu county and is backed by the Iowa Saloon league.

Thu court says : "This is a deprivation of property without dtiu procesn of law nnd a duilnl of the equal protection of tliu laws nnd Is. therefore , unconstitutional and void under the fourteenth atnumhnont ta the con stitution. " The railroads have furnished shippers of onu carload free transportation to market- , the shipper paying his faro home. For two carloads or mure thu shipper is carried free both ways.

The group con sisting of the peasant nntl his family are in the pictuwNinin costume of tlm country. They have all stopped work and stand with their rakes in their hands gazing Intently at the distant balloon. Womler , awe ami admiration are blemled in their expressive faces , and revealed in their attitudes. The subject ban been treated with the e soft , mellow tints which its artist known so well how to paint , and recalls to the mind many just such Incidents In our childhood life. It is justly popular , both on account of its artistic tiuality anil deep human interest with which it has been clothed. History of "The Defense of Champigny. " The Franco-Gorman war of 1S70 , with all its horrors and tcrrihlo loss of Ilfo , still burns in the memory of most living. For many years previous a bad feeling existed between Franco and Prussia and both great powern had heen getting their armies In readiness and worn armed to the teeth. Distrustful nnd full of hate to each other , they soon found themselves In a position from which neither could retreat with honor and an appeal to the sword was the only alternative. The Spanish crown of fered the Prince of Hahenzollern , in June. 1STO , and being accepted by him , caused the interference of Prussia , which thu French government resented , feeling that Prussia had no right to interfere in Spanish affairs , and step by step the quarrnl grew , and although Great Britain and other European powers tried to avert an open rupture and to preserve the peace of Europe , the war spirit wns madly popular In .both Prussia and France. At last , on the 15th ot July , 1870 , tlm crisis came. The Duke of Graramont told , Lord Lyons , the British ambassador , that "Tho Prussian government had deliberately insulted Franco by declaring to the public that the king had nifrontcd the French ambassador. It waa evidently thu Intention of the king of Prussia to take credit with the people o f Germany for having acted with haughti ness nnd discourtesy in fact to humllita to France. " Empnror Napoleon , as early as the Sth of July had moved forward his tr oops , and on the l&th or July war waa de clared by the French government to exist between Franco and Prussia. All Paris wan in an uproar of delight. The decl&ratlo n of war made Napoleon popular with his subjects and the Chambers , by an overwn olming vote , granted a credit of 50.000.000 francs for the and 1G.000.000 for th . army o navv. The war was carried on with vast expenditure of force on both sides , and w ar was brought to a close after spvn months of awful bloodshed and almost da ily battles , the details of which tire too harrowing to narrate. The Germans los t 8,247 olflcers and 12.1. < 53 men. The total losses of the French were Incalculable. S tnasburg and .Metz , which Germany had lost in a time of weakness , were reconquered , and the German Empire had arisen anew , Jtid France had thrown otf bondage and had become a free nation ti republic. Stl good came out of evil. While reflecting upon these eventful times , M. Jean Batiste ) Edouard Detallle. the great and famous French painter , was Inspired with the idea ot painting his world famous picture , "The Defense of Champigny. " Before giving a few facts , a description of this magnificent painting , an outllnu of the village that has been made so famous , may be hero narrated. Champicay with a population of over 2,000 might almost be described as a beautiful suburb of Paris. It lies five miles east , soutft'eaat of the gay city. Hero business men from the busy capital and picnic parties wend tholr way for a quiet rest , fresh air. and to tnko in the rural and pretty landscapes. Here , scattered through the village , were lovely homes or clmteaus , surrounded with well-laid-out gardens and lawns , 'full of sweet-scented and pretty flowers and beautiful trees , casting a heavenly and peaceful aspect all around. But this beautiy wan to bu marred by the ravages of war , to be trampled down by the waldlers and implements of war. for , situated as it isl on the Marno. it was selected as n place for a sortie on behalf of thu French army , and here on November 30th until December lnd ! , 1870. was thu scene of protracted' and bloody encounters between the French troops under colonel Duerot and the Germans and on December 3rd the French recroFsed the llarne , having slain n.OOfl Germans and sustained a loss of from 10.000 to 12.000 men and leaving Champigny a waste. M. Detaille's painting of Thu Defense of Cuaraplgny , 1870. holds a most prominent position in New York. It is now hung In the Metropolitan Museum of Art , Central Park , and is valued at over $ CO,000. THIS IS IT ONLY lOc. CUT IT OUT.
