Another Important Prohibition Decision

Dies MONIES. Iowa, Oct. 21.-In two
cases i'll which decisions We're handed
down by the supreme court, the opinion
having been prepared by Judge Given,
several other features and some new
ones of the prohibitory law are passed
upon. Among the questions is the right
of the state, by legislative enactment, to
contiscate the personal property of a de-
PENDANT without process of law. it being
claimed that the statutes authorizing
such procedure are in conflict with the
constitutions of the United States and of
Iowa. The opinion holds that in a GRIM
inal action for nuisance against the man,
the place kept by him is on trial also,
and therefore there is due process of law
This is a matter that has been much dis
