An Iowa Judge Insists the "Original Pack
ane', Business is Illegal.

NEVADA, Ia.-At the opening of the
court here Wednesday Judge Hind
man, in his charge to the grand jury,
gave the original package business a
black eye in this section. He charged
them that, notwithstanding the late de-
cision of the United States supreme court,
no person has a right in this state to
keep a place for the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors of any kind, either in
original packages or otherwise, and said
it was the sworn duty of the jurors to re-
port to the court by indictment any person
engaged in the keeping of any such place,
without regard to where such liquors came
from He takes the ground that the state
has the inherent right to prohibit and
abate nuisances and punish persons en-
gagged in the maintenance of nuisances
within it's borders, and that the question
of inter commerce has nothing to do with
it.
DEs MONIES, Ia, May 22.-Mayor

Der of additional arrests were made. The

are doing a rushing business, will not be

A syndicate of several rich Hamburg

birthday present, two estates which he
wished to possess in order to round off his
property at Friedrichsruhe. Our CORES

rises at 10 in the morning and takes his
breakfast with his family on the terrace OF
the castle. He then dispatches bis cor

walk, accompanied by one of his sons,
and followed by sergeant at Friedrich

and the time till o'clock is then devoted
to work. At 3 he usually makes an excur-

different parts of his estates at 6 the whole

neighbor or another is present. Punctual-

The Young Chinese Emperor's Fear.

much excitement prevailed. The foreign

and the vermillion mark ON them showed
that the emperor was alive. There was
nevertheless some ground for the rumor.
A cup of white-rose tea, provided for the
emperor, was tasted by afavorite courtier,
the son of Manchu military officer, and

Of poisoning. The emperor's terror was

Protect the System from Malaria.

1t is possible to do this even in regions of

the periodic fevers which it causes assume their

been very widely adopted as substitute for the
