in taxes, and they have no water works
or fire department, no electric lights
and no drainage.
Attorney General Remley has this
to say regarding the new law: 1.-The
grand jurors which have been drawn
and selected for the year 1895, con-
tinue to hold and are not affected by
the new law, but the trial jurors drawn
or selected after the 4th of July must
be drawn or selected in the manner
provided by chapter 70. For the first
term of court in the year, the grand

the same time and from the same box;
that is, one jury drawn and then
another"

The case of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons of Keolkuk against the
state board of medical examiners, on
trial at Keokuk, has taken new turn
Suit was brought to compel the board
to recognize the colleges diplomas.
The board moved dismissal or removal
of the case to Des Moines, alleging
want of jurisdiction. The court over
ruled the motion. Now the board has
filed an answer disputing the courts
jurisdiction and declining to comply
with the writ of certiorari, but avow-
ing that no contempt was intended. If
the court finds the board is guilty of
contempt, the case will then be
appealed to the supreme court, being
the quickest way to get the case to
that tribunal.

to the description of the men who COM

called on the men to halt, but they did
not comply and he fred a shot in the
air to stop them. They opened fire on
him and he fell, a ball striking him on
the rib just below the heart and run
ming around and burryiug itself in his
back. Brown and Hickson fred fifteen
or sixteen shots at the desperadoes
and one dropped his revolver and
picked it up with the other hand, but
the gang escaped apparently unhurt.

Speaking of the damage done by the
recent frosts, the Iowa Weather and
Crop Bulletin says: reports indicate
that the heaviest damage by the recent
frosts was suffered in the east central
and northeast districts The damage
to small grain has been relatively
slight and it seems probable that the
incidental benefit resulting from check
ing the too rank growth of spring
grain will fully compensate for the
injury by the freezing temperature
With favorable conditions in the future
there is ample time for the corn crop
to fully recover it's lost ground The
