PROHIBITION In IOWA.
4 Judge Renders an Important Decision
as to Trials for Violating the Law.

q Judge Renders an Important Decision
as to Trials for Violating the Law.
MUS~ATINE, Iowa, August 6.-Judge
Hatcl., of the Seventh Iowa Judicial Dis
trict, has rendered an important decision as
TO the jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace
under the new Iowa prohibition liquor law.
The Judge says he holds that Justices have
no jurisdiction to try, determine or pass
judgment upon cases under this law other
than to hold preliminary trial and bind
defendspts over to the District Court The
decision, is based upon the opinion tllat lie
penalties of the new law exceed the juris-
diction of Justices. By this decision all
liquor cases commenced here under the
new law are dismissed. The question is
enc of great importance and will be ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court. Petitioner
Pfeffer, by habeas corpus proceedings
sought to be released from restraint by de-
PENDANT as Sheriff of MUScatine County.
Both parties fully agreed upon the facts,
which are that the petitioner was con-
victed before the Justice of the Peace
of selling Intoxicating liquor, first offense),
and sentenced to pay fine of S75 costs and
was committed until costs were paid.
Judge Hayes said the only point made re-
lateS to the jurisdiction of Justices in such
cases. This question is determined by a
penalty provided. The law in question pro-
vides that for the first olfenSe the defendant
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
and on conviction pay fine not more than
500 and costs, and stand committed TO the
county jail until tie fine and costs are paid,
and not be entitled to the benefit of the pro-
visions made for poor conyicts until he shall
have been imprisoned sixty days. The con-
stitutiOn of Iowa says all Offenses less than
felony and in which punishment does not
exceed fine Of one hundred dollars or i'm
priSOnment of thirty days, shall be tried
summary. before a Justice of the Peace and
no person shall be held for higher offense
unless through instructions of the grand
jury. The general rule in cases other
than for selling Intoxicating liquors is
that no commitment follows at all for nom
payment of costs According to the terms
of the penalty for selling Intoxicating
liquors, defendant who could not pay the
costs, even if only a farthing, would have
to languish in Jail pernetually. except as he
might be relieved or provisions made for
the benefit Of poor convicts, and even here
he must stay ia Jail sixty days, whereas in
all other cases the law in its plenitude of
mercy only provides for thirty days impriS
onment. 1t would seem that this would, or
might be punishment. Although counsel
for the State agreed otherwise, the SUI
preine Court has said that costs are part of
penalty, but not of fine, which Judge
Hays says is conclusive of the point under
consideration. The Judge lays stress on
the word punishment being the one used
IN the constitutional inhibition, and says it
must be conceded that the punishment"
provided hoes or may exceed the above quo
ted constitutional limitations.

rhe drop Curtain Of Che Bufalo.

One cold day last fall. while in one of
the Northern Pacific cities, saw box
car standing on side track. and man
busy unloading something from a wagon
into the car From a distance / could
not make out what kind of merchandise
he was handling. so went up TO the
wagon to satisfy my curiosity. Fancy
my amazement when found the ''mer-
chandiSe" nothing more nor less than
bones. Having found out what it was, |
at once proceeded with the illogical but
altogether natural query, What the
dickens, L guess 1 said), is that stuff??'
With deliberation about his reply
almost equal TO that so often shown by a
shy fair one when called upon to answer
the question, the source Of nv infOrma-
ton pulled off his mittens, Investigated
his pipe, and, finding it empty, pro-
ceeded to fill it. you're tenderfoot,
l guess" 1 pleaded guilty. well,
sir, those are buffalo bones. We farm
ers are all through with our fall plow-
ing. and just now we're gathering these
things as fast as we can and selling 'em.
What's done with 'em? We can sell
all we can gather right here, and get
eight dollars a ton for them. They re
shipped to st. Louis, and there they re
ground up and sold for fertilizer.
don't know whether the buffaloes was
much obliged to us for driving 'em of
from their old stamping ground, but any
way they've left us their bones as a
kind of legacy, and we make good use
of 'em sir. There are two or three car
loads of buffalo bones shipped from
here every day now, and will be till
snow flies. They're shipped from most
every place of any size all along this
line as far out as Bismarck. Well, ]
must get this load off. There are two
or three other teams waiting their
turn"
Once undisputed lord of the prairies,
now his bones are picked up and sold
and-ground up into fertilizer. Let the
curtain fall.-Cor. Boston Transcript.

The Foundation Stone of the Pedestal
Laid on Bedloe Island.
New YORK, August g. Tie storm ycs-
terday interfered very much with the carry
ing out of the programme for laying the
corner stone of the pedestal for Bartholdi's
statue at Bedloe's Island. About five
hundred persons were present. These for
the most part were officials identified with
the ceremony, members of the Masonic fra
teTnity and invited guests. All stood for
three hours, during drenching rain, while
the programme of exercises were being OBJ
served. If it had been good day doubtless
the 10 900 people expected on Bedloe'S Island
each paying fifty cents admission, would
have been there. The guests were met on
their arrival at BedlOe'S Island by one hun.
bred men from the Fifth Artillery u. S. A.,
with corps of policemen. The Governors
Island Band played several National airs.
including the "Marsellaise." Comptroller
Grant was the only member of the New
York City Government present. At the APP
pointed time the stone was laid by the Most
