- Chances In Mall Routes.
postmaster Treynor received notice yes

that. the star mall route out of Council

route takes In Quick, Taylor, Armour, Liv
ing Springs and Treynor. The contracts
for these two routes will be let for only
one year, as It Is believed that by that
time the (tar routes will be supplanted
by the rural free delivery system. The
duties of the carriers on the star routes
under the new contracts will be practically
the same as tboae of the rural route car
riers. Provisions will be made whereby any
person living on or nearby the route and
not within the corporate limits of sny
town or within eighty rods of a postofflce.
can, if he so desires, have his mall delivered
In a suitable mall box placed on a post at
the roadside or may have a private mall
pouch. The carrier will also be author
ised to pick up mall along his route, but
be will not be compelled to do this. The
star route Is now covered as far as Quick
by a rural mall route, so these provisions
will only apply from there to the end of
tke route. . .

WORKMEN COMPLETE TASK
Grand Lodge Only Eoldi One Session to
Finish Up its Business.
VOTE DOWN BI-ENNIAL PROPOSITION
Recommendation that Subordinate
Officers Be Elected for One Tear
' Carries, Effective Janu
ary 1, 10O3.
One sesaton Thursday morning sufficed
for the grand lodge of the Ancient Order
of United Workmen to wind up Its busi
ness and by evening the officers ami
delegates had left for their homes through
out the state. Before adjourning the
grand lodge adopted resolutions thanking
the members of the local lodge and the
citizens of Council Bluffs for the manner
In which It had been entertained during Its
session here.
The recommendation of Grand Master
Workman Narvls that the grand lodge hold
biennial lnatead of annual sessions was not
adopted. The opposition proved so strong
that the committee to which the recom
mendation had been referred declined to
even make a report to the lodge and the
queatlon was permitted to die a natural
death. The other recommendation of the
grand master workman that the subordinate
lodges elect their officers annually In place
of every six months was adopted, to take
effect January 1, 1903.
Considerable discussion ensued over the
recommendation of the grand recorder that
members of subordinate lodges not paying
their quarterly dues before the twenty
eighth day of the first month of 'each
quarter should stand suspended. Lodge
dues are payable on January 1, April 1,
July 1 and October 1, and It has been the
custom for most lodges to carry delin
quent members for six months before sus
pending them. The general opinion was
that the suggestion of the grand recorder
would prove a hardship on the members
and a compromise was effected, the consti
tution being amended so as to provide that
members falling to pay the quarterly dues
by the twenty-eighth day of the first
month of the succeeding quarter should
stand suspended.
Resolutions on Haveratock.
These resolutions on the death of Wil
liam E. Haveratock, who at the time of
his death was a member of the grand
lodge, were adopted:
Resolved, That the following minute be
spread upon the records of the grand lodge:
Death, to the survivors, never is wel
come. No matter that our Judgment tells
ua that It Is better for the one departing,
and that to auch a one it is gain; never
theless, the presence of the messenger Is
endured only because It must be. But the
visit of the grim messenger that has
brought mourning to the grand lodge at
ita present session is especially unwelcome
to our order, of which the departed brother
wss so useful a member and in which he
was so Justly and highly esteemed.
Brother William Everett Haverstock
was bom In Northboro, Mass., December
27, 1819, and passed to the after life Mon
day, May 12, 1902. at his home in Council
Bluffs. Most of Brother Haverstock'a use
ful life was spent In western Iowa and for
more than twenty yeara he had been en
gaged In active business pursuits in the
city which was his last earthly home. On
Wednesday, May 14, 1902, the remains of
our brother were laid away, this grand
lodge availing. Itself of the mournful priv
ilege of conducting the ceremonies at his
grave.
In the departure of Brother Haverstock
the grand lodge of Iowa feels that It and
pur order have suffered an Irreparable
loss, and that one has gone from our vis
ible companionship with whom It waa a
pleasure to be associated, who gave prom
ise of continued and growing usefulness
to the fraternity, and who exemplified In
his life the virtues our order alms to In
culcate and Illustrate.
The grand lodge, while thus expressing
Ita own high sense of the loss it has sus
tained, yet realizes that, while It is thus
so much the loser, much more so must be
the family that Is deprived of the loving
and helpful society of the departed one,
and that now suffers the keenness of sep
aration from husband and father. The
grand lodge, therefore, while conscious
tnat It can only enter the margin of the
valley of woe Into which thev have been
led, yet ventures to tender to the bereaved
ones Its condolence and deepest svmpathy.
It Is hereby directed that this minute be
published l.i the Loyal Workman; that a
copy thereof, properly executed and duly
attested under the seal of the grand lodge,
be communicated to the bereaved family,
and that a page In our Journal be devoted
to the memory of our departed brother.
Tribute to Foreman Berry. -
Grand Master Workman Narvls paid a
graceful tribute to Grand Foreman Berry
of Indlanola. Mr. Berry baa the -record
of baring attended more consecutive meet
ings of the grand lodge than any member
of the order and his friends were desirous
thst he should become eligible to represent
the Iowa grand lodge In the supreme lodge
next year. To make this possible Mr. Nar
vls yesterday morning resigned as grand
master workman for the few remaining
hours of bis term for the yesr and Grand
Foremsn Berry then became grand master
workman until the newly elected officers
were lnstslled. This made Mr. Berry a
past grand master workman and eligible
for election next year as supreme repre
sentative. The officers elected Wednesdsy were In
stalled yesterday morning by Supremo
Foreman Webb McNall of Gaylord. Kan.
The local committee Invited the members
of the grand lodge to take a motor ride
yesterday afternoon to Lake Manawa and
Falrmount, but the Invitation was declined
with thanks, ss the members were anxious
to get home as speedily as possible.
Following the adjournment of the grand
lodge the officers and delegates were pho
tographed in a group on the steps ot the
Sixth street entrance to the postofflce. The
new officers of the grand lodge are all big
men. They had their wetghts taken and
the average showed 208 pounde. Grand
Foreman Berry carried oft the honors In
this respect, tipping the scsles at 267
pounds.

CANNOT SHUT OFF DRINKS
Iowa Supreme Court Openi Door to Nod.'
Kesident Liquor Dealers.
GOVERNOR MAY CALL LEGISLATURE
Many Member of Opinion Erection of
Temporary Buildings for tbe
Schools for the Deaf
Would Be Folly. '
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, May 16. (Special.) Tbe
Iowa supreme court In a decision by Judge
Weaver today made a ruling that will have
great effect on the prohibitory liquor laws
of Iowa. The court decided that under
the principles governing Interstate com
merce and the rulings of the United States
supreme court, the state of Iowa Is power
less to prevent agents or firms in other
states soliciting orders for liquors In Iowa,
forwarding such orders and the transports
tlon companies from carrying liquors so
ordered and delivering to Iowa customers.
The Iowa legislature engrafted into the
code a clause which was intended to ex
pressly forbid such soliciting of orders and
tbe doing of a mail and express business
In liquors. Judge Weaver while in the
legislature was one of the most earnest
advocates of a prohibitory liquor law aa
stringent ss It could be made; but In bis
decision today, rendered with expressions
of regret that It should be the law, tbe
door Is opened wide for the liquor business
by outside firms.
Tbe oplnlou is based entirely upon the
holding of the United States supreme court
in construing the Interstate commerce act.
Eleven cases are cited In support of the
holding. Among other things tbe court
says:
Renders State's Power Rogatory.
These holdings. It is needless to observe
render the power of the state to prohibit
the traffic In liquors to large extent nuga
tory, and leaves the agents of non-resident
dealers to ply their trade with bootleggers
and other resident violators of the law
without effective hindrance, but we have
only to declare the law as we find It. It is
proper to add that all these cases under the
authority of whlcb this appeal is disposed
oi, nave Deen deemed ry a oiviuea court.
The dissent of Justices Harlan. Gray,
Walte, Shims and Brown is supported by
very persuasive reasoning and great weight
of authority, but whatever we may think
of the comparative merits of the arguments
employed we are in duty bound to follow
the authoritative pronouncement of the
court, whose decision upon this and kindred
questions Is final. Yielding to these prece
dents, we are constrained to hold that the
transaction aet nut in the agreed statement
of facta comes within the definition of In
terstate commerce, and that as such it
cannot be made punishable under the laws
ot tne state.
Again the court says:
All these acts, the seeking of the cus
tomer by the agent, the soliciting and
taking of the order, its transmission to
the house in another state, the shipment
maae tnsrein. the transportation and de
livery to the purchaser in this state, all
unite to inane up interstate commerce,
The defendant, it should be remembered,
Is not charged with the offense of selling
the liquors. The act for which he is sought
to be held Is criminal liability In the so
liciting and taking of the order, and
It liable at all. his offense was complete
the moment the order waa obtained, even
though his principal had never completed
the sale thus negotiated. It Is therefore
for the purposes of this case immaterial
whether the title passed to the purchaser
when the company for transportation or
when it reached Its destination and waa
paid for. The one question is, as we have
before said,- whether the taking of the
order under the circumstances was part of
a transaction of interstate commerce.
Upon that proposition we are compelled to
Hold in the amrmative.

Extra Session Talk.
Quite a number of members of tbe legis
lature have been in Des Moines tbe last
week, largely for tbe purpose ot Inter
viewing the governor and others In regard
to the advisability of a special session of
the Iowa legislature for the purpose ot
appropriating money to aid tbe School for
the Deaf at Council Bluffs. There Is a
pretty strong sentiment In favor of bsvlng
tbe legislature meet and provide for per
manent buildings at the school lnstesd ot
putting up with temporary structures
Representstlve A. Head of Green county
expresses himself as in favor of a special
seaolon. He declares that it Is tolly for
the state to put money Into temporary
structures. The 135,000 or more that would
be thus spent would be almost entirely
wasted. He would bave tbe governor call
tbe legislature together some time during
the summer and make an appropriation for
tbe school suitable for a permanent build
ing. Senator Junkln of Montgomery county
has been here in consultation with the
governor and to not quite so positive in
the matter, but a number ot tbe legislators
bave been consulted and they are generally
In favor of a legislative sesalon and a suita
ble appropriation.
Medical Board and Oateopatha.
Tbe State Board of Medical Examiners,
at its session today, adopted regulstions tor
the examination of osteopaths for certifi
cates ss "osteopathic physicians" under a
new law paased by the last general assem
bly. The board will examine colleges snd
psss upon their sufficiency snd Issue cer
tificates In accordance wltb tbe law. Tbla,
it Is expected, will end the troubles of
long standing between the osteopaths and
tbe doctors.
Tbe state board granted a certificate to
Dr. Parsons, sn osteopath, on an order
from the district court. Parsons brought
suit last summer snd won bis case and
he will bave the only certificate Issued
under the old law to an osteopath.
Dr. Linn was elected president of the
Board of Health, Dr. Adams withdrawing.
