Parrlsh today began proceedings In the district court to hsve the grand and petit Juries declared Illegally selected and to require that new Jury lists be prepured by the Board of Supervisors. The petition filed with the court by Judge Parrlsh is sup ported by affidavits which are very sensa tU nal, and If true would prove th greatest irregularities In the seleotlon of the Polk county grand Juries. One of the affidavits is by an election Judge In North Das Moines precinct.

The present religious movement which I going on not only In Catholl countries, but In the whole world, Is. I believe, nothing but the unrest accompany ing th exit from th dilemma. . .
