APPROVES CUMMINS' BILL
Pottawattamie County Bar Association
Urge Supreme Court Legislation.
OEUCATION SENT TO PUSH THE MEASURE
Reasons Stated for Proposed Heqnlre
saeat that All Snprente Conrt
' Jadges shall Live In the
Slate Capital.
The Cummins bill now before the state
legislature was indorsed In strong terms
by the Pottawattamie County Bar associa
tion yesterday at a meeting called by Presi
dent Flnley Burke to dlscnss the measure.
Not only did the association Indorse the
bill, but It selected a delegation to ge to
Des Moines to present Its views on the mat
ter to the proper legislative committees.
The delegation Is a representative one and
Is composed ef Emmet Tlnley, chairman;
Hon. Joha N. Baldwin, Judge J. R. Reed,
C. M. HarL John M. Galvln and A. T. Flick
inrer. These resolutions were adopted and copies
were sent to the senate and bouse Judiciary
committees and the bouse committee on
compensation of public officers:
Resolved, by the Bar association of Potta
wattamie county, That we heartily Indorse
and urge the adoption of the bill now
pending In the general assembly, requiring
the Judges of the supreme court to reside
In Des Moines and maintain the court In
continuous session, and Increasing their
salaries, for the reason that this legisla
tion will enable the court to take the sub
misslon of a limited number of cases, on
full argument, oral and written, and have
them speedily determined on adequate con
sultation, obtaining thereon the Judgment
of the entire court, and will enable the
Judge, to be together for consultation,
within ready access to all authorities, and
under conditions enabling them to do their
work with greater satisfaction, both to
themselves and the bar. 1
It will do away with the present cumber
some and Inadequate "postoftice" system,
which, without Intending any criticism of
the court, has proved unsatisfactory to the
bar and likewise to the court. Under this
system. It is practically impossible, In the
average case, to have the ripened Judg
ment of more than one Judge, and It abso
lutely debars the oral argument of causes
by counsel, which ill of the most eminent
courts have declaiil to be not only con
ducive to better wtrk on the part of the
court, but practically essential to the
satisfactory determination of Important
cases.
The proposed legislation will enable the
court. In the discharge of Its business, to
In some degree follow the practice of the
supreme court ot the United State, and
the circuit courts of appeals, which have
been found to be the methods best adapted
to the most satisfactory discharge of Ju
dicial duty.
We believe this system will be conducive
to the more orderly and satisfactory dis
charge of the duties of the court, and
meet the objections which have been pre
valent among litigant, and the bar. This
Increase of labor and expense rightfully
demand. Increased compensation for the
overworked and underpaid Judges of the
highest Judicial tribunal in the state.
The Cummins bill provides for Increasing
the salaries of the Judges of the supreme
court to $6,000 and requires that they must
reside In Des Moines. It also provides for
an increase in the salaries of Judges of the
district court. "

APPEALS BIG LIQUOR CASE
State's Attempt to Seise Intoalennto
from Nebraska la Takta
Higher.
A case, the" final outcome of which Is ot
much Importance to wholesale dealers ship
ping liquor Into Iowa, was appealed yes
terday to the supreme court by County At
torney Kill pack at the direction of State's
Attorney Genet al Mullan. The case la en
titled the 8tate of Iowa against Certain In
toxicating Liquors and the United States
Express Company.
The United States Express company' car
ried a shipment ot liquor from a dealer in
Omaha consigned to twenty persons In Oak
land, la., cash tn delivery. The liquor was
seised by a constable on a search warrant,
an Information having been filed before
Justice- Butler of that town that the ex
press company was keeping liquor for sale
in violation of law. The prosecution con
tended thst inasmuch as the persons to
whom the liquor was consigned paid for It
when taking It out of the express company's
office, it practically amounted to a sale of
the liquor there and then. The proceedings
under the search warrant were tried be
fore a Jury In Justice Butler's court, which
returned a verdict condemning the liquor.
An appeal was taken to the district court
and Judge Wheeler, at the recent term In
Avoca, reversed the finding of the Justice's
court Jury and ruled In favor of the express
company.
Judge Wheeler held that, under a decision
of the supreme court of the United States,
to seize liquor while In shipment was an
Interference with interstate commerce, and
that the shipment of the liquor cash on de
livery virtually constituted a Nebraska
sale.
' Several similar cases are pending In vari
ous parts of the state and Attorney General
Mullan, being anxious to have the Question
decided by the state supreme court, in
structed the county attorney to appeal this
case.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Feb. 21. (Special.) The

journed over until Monday morning. The
senate entertained a resolution to take a
recess from- Febrnary 27 to March 3 on ac
count ot so many members having business

The major portion of the day in the sen

are provisions for paroles and determina
tion of sentences and transfers to the pris
ons where that may be deemed necessary.
Some objection to the measure came up.
An effort was made to place manslaughter
In the list ot excluded crimes, but this
failed. Senator Ball declared his belief
that the bill in Its present form would be
unconstitutional In thst It provides that
the Board of Control may assume some of
the offices of the Judiciary of the state In
determining the length of sentences. He
offered amendments to correct this. Sen
ator Trewln also offered amendments, and
In view of the Importance of the measure.

made a special order for next Tuesday
morning.
The bill to provide for the support ot
the Insane hospital at Cherokee passed the
senate. It fixes the percapita per month at
$15 tor the present, but provides that It
shall be reduced as the number ot In
mates increases. The other hospitals re
ceive $12 per month, and the state la to
pay the difference between the $12 a month
and whatever Is paid at Cherokee. .
The bill to provide for notices in gar
nishment proceedings in Justice courts was
passed.
The house considered the bill to tske
from mayors of cities and towns their
Jurisdiction in criminal cases and after
debating It, some time It was defeated.
Require Free Pa.aea.
In the house Representative Donohue in.
troduced a bill to require that all railroad

preme court and members of the general
assembly. Other bills: By Calderwood, to

WEBSTER CITT, Is. Feb. 21. (Special.)
Judge Whltsker of this district hss Just
handed down a declelon In favor of Arch
bishop Keane in the esse brought some
time ago by the German Catholics ot Wil
liams, a town east ot this city.
The German Catholic church at Williams
was rebuilt In 1895, after having been de
stroyed by a tornado. For the new church
the German Catholics contributed $3,000.
They brought suit for the return ot this on
the ground thst they had contributed it
with the express understanding with the
archbishop Ihst a priest should be sent
them who could apeak both English and
German. This wss never done. The court
decides in favoV of the archbishop, hold
ing that he has the right to send any
priest to whatsoever parish he pleases, and
that insomuch as the Germans are greatly
in the minority It would be unjuat to sell
the church away from the majority In or
der to return to a small minority their
money.

WHERB POSTAL CARDS ARB MADB.
Ra.y Plnee la the Meaatalns ef
West Virginia.
In a little West Virginia mountain town
situated high up In the Appalachlaa range,
not far from the border of Maryland, is
located the modest plant that turns out
millions- ot postal cards every month for
the United States government. The town
Piedmont. W. Va.. and here the busy
factory is at work six days In the week,
making the little oblong sheets of card
board which are destined to carry mes
sages of alt sorts from all conditions ot
people. Here, also, Is tnsde the cardboard
from which the postal rards are made; here
It is cut Into the requisite sizes and the
cards printed, and finally packed and
shipped into every state, city, town and
hamlet in the United 8tatea, Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippine islands. '
The postal card manufactory, relates the
Philadelphia Record) Is a two-story, fire
proof brick building with a cement roof.
The building is further protected by patent
automatic fire sprinklers, with an abundant
supply of water, so that danger from fire
reduced to a minimum. The building
is not large about 100x60 feet. The power
to run the machinery Is furnished by the
plant of the paper company whose large
establishment adjoins that of the postal
works.
The first floor of the building is used for
a press room, rssing room and a dry room
for the printed postal cards. There are
wo printing presses in the press room.
each having a capacity of 1,200 Impressions
an hour. The size ot the sheets of paper
used on these presses is 60x30 Inches, and
each sheet contains ninety postal cards
resdy to be cut and packed when It comes
from the press. The dies used In the print
ing of the cards are, of course, furnished
by the government. The presses are oper
ated by four men. each of whom works
eight hours every day. In the casing room
one man is kept busy putting together the
knocked -down pine boxes In which the
cards are packed for shipment. These
boxes are made of pine grown In West
Virginia, and are shipped "knocked-down"
to the contractor. The boxes vary in else,
holding 6,000, 10,000, 26.000 or 100,000 cards,
respectively. The largest shipment ever
made from the Piedmont works was a con-
lgnment of 24,000,000, which went out on
June 16. 1900.
The paper must contain 69 per cent of
sulphite spruce fibre, 22 per cent of soda
chemical poplar fibre bleached, and 9 per
cent of English clay. All of these com
ponents must be clean and free from im
perfections; calendered to a uniform weight
and thickness, and finished on both sides
suitable for writing with Ink or pencil,
the tint In all cases being, of course, a
uniform buff. Even the tensile strength
is. tested, and, in fact, in every possible
detail the cards must conform to ,a rigid
government standard. Even the quality ot
the Ink used In printing the cards snd its
color, black, must be exactly as the gov
ernment has stipulated In the specifica
tions under which the contract is let, and
what is known as a water finish to the
material used in the manufacture of the
cards Is not permitted.
The regular force at the postal card
manufactory numbers only forty employes.
half of whom are women and the re
mainder men.

Into a car the other morning and took seats,
relates the Detroit Free Press. After they
were comfortably adjusted, with parcels
and umbrellas, the one In the blue cloth
suit scanned the two men who sat opposite
and remarked to her companion:
"It's too near the stove here;' let's move
down."
Then the girls arose and took seats far
ther down, out of range of the two men.
What was the matter, Clara?" the other
girl asked; "It wasn't really too warm back
there."
"No," the first girl answered with spirit.
"but that horrid man with the brown bat
and overcoat sat near us. He Is always on
the car near me, Laura, and I detest the
sight of him."
"I don't know him," commented Laura;
who la he?"
"Why, I don't know him, either," Clara
explained, "but I won't sit where I bave to
look st htm."
"Has he ever been rude to you?" asked
Laura.
"Rude? I think so. About three months
ago I dreamed I was standing before the
altar in a lovely church all decorated with
palms and flowers and was Just about to be
married oh, to such a handsome man,
Laura, and that hideous old thing in the
brown hat and coat the very same man
came rushing down the aisle and arrested
my promised husband for bigamy." :

SICKNESS IS A BAD HABIT
AND ir TOD HATE IT, SMITH'S
GBEEN MOUNTAIN RKN'OTATOB
WILL CIEE TOU OF IT.
Why be lrk when we (rvaraatee thU
medicine to help yon!
Some peopla ara aptly described ai
"always grunting." They never seem
to feel just right, and if one thing isn't
the matter with them another is. These
are the people that we always feel like
crossing the street to avoid meeting.
They are always more or less ill because
they refuse to adopt a sensible course.
When they feel some particular symp
tom they dose themselves with various
things which are supposed to be good
for what that symptom indicates.
There is no use in pursuing such a
course as this. The only wny to get
cured and stay cured is to find the root
of the trouble and pull that root out.
Now, everybody knows that weakness
or diseases of the stomach, liver or kid
neys and consequent impure blood is
responsible for more than ninety per
cent of the ills that flesh is heir to.
The only sensible "thing to do is to
take Smith's Green Mountain Renova
tor. . That doesn't waste any time chas
ing around for this symptom or that
symptom, but goes right to the vital
organs, cleans them out and strengthens
and upbuilds them, and purifies and en
riches the blood. Just as soon as this
is done you get well, and just as long as
you keep yourself in proper condition
by the use of this famous old medicine
you are going to stay well.
There isn't any guesswork about this.
In its native Xew England home,
where it is the standard household
remedy for old and young, rich and
poor, Smith's Green Mountain Renova
tor has been effecting the most wonder
ful cures for a great many years, and it
will do for you just what it has done for
others.
"My huhand has already told ynn how won
derfully he has hn benefited by Caking Smith's
Orx.h Mountain Renovator, and now I want
you to know the rest of the story.
" For years I have been a frail woman. Ify
household duties and cares of a family wore so
much upon me t his winter that I was afraid of a
Tere illness. When I saw what the RENOVA
TOR did for Mr. Sohntt, I decided to try It. It
does not went poeolble, but In four weeks I have
changed Into a healthy, rested and vigorous
woman. Your medicine Is the best remedy for
tired out people that I hare ever trlsl. I have
no more backache, headaohe cr nervousness.
The RENOVATOR cured me."
