Weevil Found In Chicago Wheat.

DULUTH special: An explanation of
the premium on wheat in the Duluth
market over that Chicago is given by
local grain men which involves the
discovery in the wheat in store on the
steamer ]. Emory owen Of Chicago OF
weeviL 1t was claimed that the dam
age was slight, but Duluth men claim
toknow that much OF the cargo was
wormy and that there Is reason to be-
lieve that Of the 2O,O0O,OO0 or more
bushels of wheat in store at Chicago
very considerable portion has been
seriously damaged and that it is the
fear OF this which has caused the un-
usual split in the prices on the Duluth
and Chicago boards. One prominent
local vesselman is authority for the
statement that it is on this account
that Chicago grain men are endeavor-
Ing te keep vessels which have wheat
in store as cargoes from moving before
the first OF May and the reason why
yesselmen are US anxious to get out as
early as possible in April.

Surely.

Surely.
THE case Of G. +. Crippen Of Huron,
chief of police, arrested on complaint
of Mrs. Simmons, charged with fail
ure to enforce the prohibitory law, on
trial in Justice Grants court has re-
suited in verdict In favor of the
ladies. Crippen gave bonds for his ap-
pearance at the next term OF court.
The case attracted wide attention and
the ladies are jubilant over their vic
tory. 1t is said that ii the mayor will
agree to enforce the law the crusade
will stop, otherwise it will be pushed
with renewed vigor, and other city Of
ficials are likely to get into trouble.
The evidence produced at the trial of
Crippen will be used should other ar
rests follow. When asked II the CRU
SADIE would continue one Of the leaders
said: THAT depends entirely upon
the action Of the mayor and other city
officials. The ladies have undertaken
TO see that the laws are enforced aud
the places ofvice closed, and will fight
until their object is accomplished Il it
takes all summer. The victory al
ready achieved will have salutary
effect, and public sentiment is strong
" In favor of continuing the warfare
unless the laws are enforced"

w. A. WILKES, attorney for the
Prohibitionists In their fight to close
the Sioux Falls brewery, has applied
to the Supreme Court for rehearing
in the case Of the State We. the Sioux
Falls Brewing Company. The Supreme
Court recently reversed the hearing
Of the lower court, which held the
brewery to lie nuisance and ordered
it torn down. The Supreme Court
held that it was necessary to prove
beer to be intoxicating before the
place where it was manufactured
could be declared a nuisance by 8
court Of law. Mr.. Wilkes cites several
cases to the Supreme Court wherein
they held that boer was intoxicating
and that it was not necessary to prove
it, One case is that OF the State Of
South Dakota ys. Chapman carried
up from Lincoln County, in which the
Supreme Court held that the keeping
OF intoxicating liquors or beer for sale
or barter or for delivery, Is q violation
OF the hw In sny given place and con-
stitutes q nnisance. The members of
the Supreme Court have changed
some since then, Judge Fuller having
succeeded Judge Bennett 9y4

SIOUX FALLS BEER.
Grounds ON Which y RelSarInE IL Asked
OF the supreme Court.

OF tn. supreme Court.
w. A. WILKES, attorney for the
plaintiff in the important case OF the
state againt the Sioux Falls Brewery
Company, which was recently decided
by the Supreme Court in favor OF the
defendant, has presented a petition to
the Supreme Court for rehearing.
He bases the petition on the following
contentious: 1.-THE case was assigned
to Judge Bennett, who died, and the
opinion was prepared by Judge Fuller,
who was not q member Of the court
when the case was argued, and up to
the time of its assignment the case was
not considered by the court with refer
ences to its decision This was an
equity action against the brewery and
the defendants are not entitled to 4
jury trial. In the lower court the evi-
dence showed that there were in the
posse ssion of the defendants at the
time the complaint was made, LAS
barrels OF beer, 5000 bushels of malt,
4,7OO bushels OF barley, 10 bales of
hops, and five tons of corn meal and
that the business Of brewing was going
on at that time, as was shown by the
testimony of sheriff Sunback: and that
the defense introduced no evidence to
combat this. The trial court found rs
facts that the brewery was place
whore Intoxicating liquors, were kept
for sale and were sold as beverage.
II is not the province Of the Appellate
Court to weigh the evidence. The SUI
preme Court Of South Dakota in the
case OF the state against Chapman;
from Lincoln County, held that ''the
keeping of intoxicating liquors or beer
for sale or barter or for delivery in
violation Of law in any given place
makes the place where kept nuis-
ance. Mr.. Wilkes says: In that case
you did not say lager beer or root beer
Of malt beer or intoxicating beer, but
simply beer.' The defendants admit
ted that the beer taken was intoxicat-
ing liquors; and that beer Is universal.
ly considered liquor without proof Of
Its intoxicating qualities.

IN THE WEST

DENVER special: The Supreme
Court in the case involving the rival
police boards, decided that the District
Court was the proper place for the
trial OF the case. The decision is in
effect against the Governor, rs hc had
referred to it the question ~ to which
board, that now in Office or the one APP
pointed by him, Is the legal one. The
court is unanimously Of the opinion
that the District Court must decide;
so the matter is left where it was q
week ago. when the Governor called
out the militia to seat his appOintees.
The principal poiEt in the decision is
to the effect that the Governor is
greatly in error in supposing that he
is called on to enforce his removal Of
the old commissioners. AS they are
municipal officers, in fact, he is no
more called upon to seat his appoint
ees than to seat councilman or city
clerk. The Governor declined to
speak on the decision.

SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

ST. LOUIS special: A series OF for
geries OF remarkable kind have been
unearthed in this city. Eight banks
have suffered, and the aggregate Of
the forged paper win reach S2O, 600.
The Continental Bank. the Bank OF
the Republic. and the Citizens Bank
admit losses, but state that no one
bank lost q large sum. The number
OF persons in the gang OF forgers is
supposed not to exceed three. The
The forgers first took account OF the
fact that checks drawn by business
houses were written usually upon the
firms own autographed heading pro-
tected by serial numbers on check and
stub. The forgers not only counter
feited the blank check forms, but
numbered their checks close to the
numbers OF the checks then running
with the victimized firm. In the case
of the Chas. w. Melcher Machine
Company, whose signature was forged
for $500, young man stating that he
represented the firm which litho-
graphed the firms checks, asked to
see the check book, ss he was sent to
trace up books badly autographed.
The ruse succeeded, and was probably
used in other cases. In the case OF
Julius Labsap, another victim OF the
gang, not only was the signature
forged, but the man who did this was
thoroughly conversant with his affaira.
The latter, in making out checks, puts
In parenthesis the purpose for which
the money IL paid out Immediately fol-
lowing the amount. In the forged
chech this popularity was observed
and served to disarm suspicion at the
bank. The police are completely in
the dark.
