General Sheridan has passed a most
comfortable day. He dOzed at in-

A eRoAo-GuAGE DECISION.


Whisky Case.
DEs MONIES, Dec. % The Iowa supreme
court, in the case of the state vs. certain in.
toxlcating liquors, Cummings claimant, de-
cidsd yesterday that any liquor containing
alcohol, no matter how much it may be
diluted, is intoxicating The courts below
declared the liquor not intoxicating, and the
state appealed The court says it is con.
tended that the caurt erred in not finding
the liquors intoxicating. The case was sub.
mitted upon the evidence of a single witness.
The witness was q chemist. He testified
that one portion thereof contained by
weight O. AZ PER cent of alcohol and 302 per
cent. by volume, and the other contained
Q IS per cent. by weight and y % per cent
by volume The witness further testified
that this liquor would not intoxlcate the
average drinksr, but it would intoxicate q
large portion Of the people who were not in
the habit OF drinking.
The court makes g broad gauge decision on
the basis Of the law itself, throwing out the
evidence. 1t says: @The statute provides
that the words Intoxicating liquors as used
therein shall be construed to mean alcohol
wines, beer, spirituous. vinOus, and malt
liquors and all Intoxicating liquors what
ever Alcohol is therefore an intoxicating
liquor. regardless of the fact that the
quantity drank at any one time would
not have that effect 1t Is immateria
In a statutory sense what effect alcobo
may have on the human system. 1t is in
toxicating liquor. However much it may
be diluted 1t must remain an intoxicant wher
used as beverage, and no matter how i
