Morks of the Creator.

Last May sixty-six pound meteor fell
on the farm of John Goddovel, in Winnie
bago county, Iowa. Peter Hugland found
it and sold it to Professor Winchell. When
John heard of this he got mad and sued
Peter for maliciously and feloniously abb
straeting one certain stone which fell on
plaintiffs farm some time last May, through
an act of God, said stone having probably
been hurled from some other planet in a
state of eruption, and being therefore Of
great value to the plaintiff, who wishes by
means of it to acquaint himself with the
works of the Creator" The Court could
not resist this plea, and the stone was
awarded to John. But Peter has taken
the case to the Supreme Court of Iowa, and
the end is not yet.

Null and Void.

CEDAR RAPIDS (Ia.), October 17th-Judge
Stoneman, of the Superior Court. decided
to-day that the State prohibitory law was
null and void so far as the sale of original
packages was concerned. The decision
was in case growing out of the seizure of
beer brought from st. Louis to be sold by
q brewery agent last June. The beer was
seized on complaint of Rev. Mr.. Abrams.
The brewing company asked for an injunc-
tron against Abrams, and also sought 10
replace the goods already seized. The de-
fendant demuTed that writ of replevin
would not lie to receiver of beer in Iowa.
Judge Stoneman holds that the Wilson
bill is not Retrospective in its operation,
and the Iowa law regarding the sale of
liquors in original packages is null and
void. He grants perpetual injunction to
restrain Abrams from further interfering
with the business of the plaintiff.
