FUN ON THE FOURTH.
Laying in Firecrackers and Picnic Sup
plies-The Police and the Boys.

"Hurrah for the Fourth Of JULY" is what the
small boys are shouting today in anticipation
OF good and glorious time tomorrow. Even
II they are rot going on picnic or excursion
they are going to have all the firecrackers, tor
pedoes and Roman candles they want, and those
who are going ont of town will take a supply of
explosives with them.
The season for celebrating begun earlier this
year than usual, and the dealers are making
larger sales than heretofore.
LAYING IN SUPPLIES.
All day today the firecracker stores were
crowded with men, women and children get
ting in supplies for tomorrow. The weather
permitting thousands of persons will leave the
city tonight and tomorrow, as excnrsions are
to be given 20 almost every available place
within reach of the city. Persons who are
going on excursions and picnic parties made
preparations today, and the market men at the
Center Market were greatly benefited thereby.
The country people who brought i'll chickens
sold out early in the morning. Many of the
market customers this morning were young
ladies, who selected from the choicest fruits
vegetables, &C., to fill their picnic baskets.
THE JUDGE AND THE SMALL BOY.
This morning Judge Miller inquired of Pros
ecuting Attorney Dumont what, if any, action
had been taken about allowing the boys the
IIttGoH Vi tic tOulOfTOW. MI. DunlO0t
said he did not know of any action except that
Major Moore had said that he wanted to keep
the boys out Of the woodsheds and back yards
as far as possible so as to protect property from
fire. He did not say that the police could
catch them on the streets easier than they
could in the back yards. The judge then re-
ferred to the law which prohibits the of
fireworks and asked why it that the deal
ers were being given permits to sell them.
Mr.. Dumont said he had also thought of that
question.
Judge Miller thought that something should
be done to notify the boys in advance as to
whether they are TO be prosecuted or not, so
that they could act accordingly. The Judge
thought that the Commissioners might have
inserted in the section of the police regulations
prohibiting the use OF fireworks provision
allowing the discharge of fireworks within GER
tain limits.
The lowest penalty, the judge said, is 80.
When the cases brought to the courts
attention they of course have to be tried ac-
cordiny to law.
There was one case brought under the Sec
ton referred to this morning. A boy named
Edward Shreves was charged by Policeman
Meiien with exploding torpedoes on the street.
He plead guilty and the court imposed the
lowest penalty, $40 or five days on the farm.

Obeying the Supreme Court.

Judge Foster of the United States court on
Tuesday released Z. L. Marshall of Law
renee, Kansas, and Marcus Antoine and ". L.
Burns of Topeka original package liquor
dealers, after a hearing in habeas corpus pro-
ceedinSs. Attorney General Kellogg contcnded
that the packages were not original since they
were i'll convenient sizes TO evade the Jaw. In
releasing the defendants Judge Foster took
occasion to say that the dissenting judges of
the United States Supreme Court had made the
scope of the Iowa decision and of the law as
it now stands very clear, having expressly de-
clared that whisky and beer might be i'm
ported from one state into another and sold
by the kcg case, bottle, in any quantity, large
or small, just so it remained in the shape in
which it was put up for shipment
