PROHIBITION IN IOWA.

The Present Local Option Arrange t
Gives Satisfaction Says Gov. Drake.
DEs MONIES, Jan 16.-Gov. Drake,
in his inaugural, said that the liquor
question has long been one of serious
discussion, and the majority of the peo-
pie being anxious to secure the most IA
vorable results pronounced in favor of
the American doctrine of local self gov
ernment, and relegated the question to
the representative districts.
The twenty-tif general assembly,
to preserve prohibition in those
localities where it could be made efficient
and to control the traffic in other locali-
ties enacted what is known as the mulct
law. That law has since been in force
and upon information, l believe is Civ
ing reasonable satisfaction, still leav-
ing the prOhibitory law undisturbed in
localities where it is preferred
At the same session of the legislature
preliminary steps were taken for the re-
submission of 3 prohibitory amendment
TO the constitution. These questions will
be before you for your earnest considera-
ton and l doubt not will be determined
by you in the exercise of wisdom and in
sincerity as chosen representatives of the
senatorial and representative districts,
and with all due regard for the wishes of
your constituents keeping in mind the
welfare of the state.
He recommended that the age of con-
sent be raised to Is years.

The volcano has broken out again and

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-The pension
committee of the Grand Army of the

go over pension matters and prepare for
urging certain Legislation by congress.
Those present will include Benjamin

General Walker will later appear be-

WANDERS BACK.
John Walruff and Others Are
in Topeka Today
Seeking to Get a Foothold in
Kansas Again.
THEY WANT AN ORGAN
Looking For a Newspaper That
Will Sell Out
To the Allied Whisky Interests
Of Kansas City.

John Walruff is in Topeka today. He
came here as one of a committee repre- :
senting the brewers association of Kan
over the ground to determine whether or
not it is wise to put money into a resub-
mission paper in Topeka.
At the last meeting of the Mys-
tic Brotherhood, committee was
appointed to meet the representa-
tives of the brewers and discuss
the plan of the Topeka resubmissionists
of putting money into the Press and
running it as a resubnission paper.
The brewers are here to meet with
that committee. and upon this meeting
will depend the question of whether or
not the brewers association will put
more money into the resubmission cause
in Topeka
Simon Greenspan has been engineer
ing the deal, but he has said that the
money for his scheme was to come from
local people. Simon has visited Kansas
City, and has conferred with the brew
ers, but it is said that he has not received
very satisfactory assurances of help.
The present visit of the brewers COM
mittee Indicates however, that they still
have faith in the cause of resubmission
in Topeka 1t also indicates that they
are still willing to put up funds, but that
they are somewhat more cautious than
in former years, when they were repeat
edly imposed upon.
The conference between the commit
tee representing the Mystic Brotherhood
and the brewers representatives will be
held this evening.
The mem bers of the Mystic Brother
hood profess to know nothing of Mr..
Walruff's visit and those who were in
terrogated said that he was not here, but
his name appears on the Dutton house
register and he is still in the city.
Mr. Henry Mailman, the Kansas City
attorney, is also here, but it is not known
that he is here as representative of the
brewers. although such guess has been
made.

steered clear of him.
In the neighborhood of eleven o'clock
the patrol wagon went to First and
Adams street where there was a scrim-
mage going on between some fifteen or
twenty young men.
In the crowd were George Crawford
and his brother Charles. George had the
worst of it, and was lying in pool of
mud and blood. Several stitches had to
be taken at various places about the mans
head, and while this was going on in the
court room Charles Crawford was locked
up.
This was Finney's chance, and he
struck at Charles. Crawford seemed to
hit him all over at once, and continued
to for several minutes, while Finney bit
and scratched and kicked
By the time the officers had them
sorted out, Finney was terrible sight
His head was one big bruise and one side
of his face looked like steak. When the
doctor had finished with George he put

ney.
The three were fined s. each in police
court this morning.

Jury in Regard to the Grave Rob:
berries. I
Testimony given before the grand
jury shows that the medical students mu :
tilated the three bodies of Mrs. Van
Fleet, Mrs. Dake and Mrs Lillis while
the Van Fleet searching party was being
detained in a lower room.
This was the first time the college was
searched, and the officers were kept
waiting a half hour while DR., Minney
was being summoned to give his consent
to search of the building.
This morning N. Lux, II. W. amman,
a student, and DR.. D. B. CoIcord were
examined. There were about twenty
five witnesses constantly in the waiting
room and the examinations .are being
conducted much more slowly. Witness
es have been summoned much faster
than they can be disposed of. and will
have to go back from day to day. Three
or four card games are going on all the
time In the little witness room.
William F. Meyer, of the Kansas Tent
and Awning company, did not testify
yesterday that DR.. &. S. McClintock paid
for the body sack which was bought
from him, as was wrongly reported. He
was examined at great length on that
point, but each time denied that it was
DR.. McClintock. AT the time that it was
first found out that Meyer had
sician it was understood among
the officers that he said it was DR.. Nc
Clintock. The county attorney asked him
if he had not said so, but he denied hav-
ing said it.
Meyers testimony was that he came
here in January 1898. That between that
time and the following March he made a
body sack for doctor, but he can't re-
member who it was and doesn't think he
has ever seen him since. That he has
never made but the one sack.
DR.. c. S. McClintock was one of the
first persons Meyer got acquainted with
when he came to Topeka. He knew him
at the time he made the sack and says
DR.. McClintock did not get it. He can't
remember even whether the doctor who
got the sack was young or old, but he
knew it was physician.
None of the body sacks seen at the
medical college seem to be in the poses
sion of the state prosecutors. At leas st
none were shown to Myer yesterday for
Identification. His evidence seems of
rather uncertain nature.

NOW FOR THE OTHER SIDE.


The Cubans Having Lied Few, Here's
the Spanish Batch.
KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 16.-Efforts
have been made to hush the matter up,
but it is evident that there is great deal
of friction between the two insurgent
generals in Cuba, Maxine Gomez and
Antonio Maceo
Maceo is leader of the negroes and
Gomez the white element While they
operate In harmony, and on occa-
sion join forces, the Emergencies
between them are said to be irreconcili-
able, and it is feared will lead to civil
strife if the independence of Cuba is
won.
The stories of dissensious in the camp
were at first discredited, but they now
ind many believers. The insurgents
themselves make no secret of the fact
that there is friction. The white men
declare they are avaIing themselves of
negro assistance to attain their ends
but no negro will be al
lowed TO participate in the di-
rection of public affairs. Maceo. it ap
pears, learned of this some time ago, and
now there are two distinct insurpent
camps.
Recently Maceo is said to have vetoed
Gomezs promotion of Lieutenant Masco
10 the grade of General, threatening to
back up his veto by force, if necessary.
Gomez compromised by accepting for
Maceo the position of vice president of
the provisional government
MaceO has so far had the advantage in
strength. He has large command,
three times the size of Gomez's column,
Cubans here, say. Some time ago Maceo
is said to have declared if unable to carry
cut his programme near Havana, he
would return TO the eastern provinces,
and set up a republic with himself as
president

SNOW AWARDED S4,7s7.s9
Referee Spencer Makes His Decision
in the SnOW-HamiIt tom Case.

Referee Spencer Makes His Decision
in the SnOW-Ez amiItOn Case.
The report of Referee Charles F.
Spencer in the Snow Hamilton case was
presented to District Judge Hazen at the
opening of court this morning. 1t gives
Mr. Snow judgment for $4,737 80. The
report was accepted and placed on
record.
The referee was 65 days hearing evi-
dence and making his findings. When
Mr.. Spencer presented his report this
morning he asked to be allowed $3.50
for his services. Judge Hazen allowed
it.
When E H. Snow was appointed state
printer he formed a partnership with
the Hamilton Printing company where
by he was to furnish the state printing
and the company furnished the plant.
The profits were to be divided equally.
Now, when Major Hudson was elected
state printer he made liberal offer for
the plant TO the company with the pro-
vision that Snow should give up his
claim to the state printing. The Hamil- =
tons wished to sell it. Snow wanted
to keep it to help him win his
state printer fight. He claimed that
he owned a half interest in some
of the material which had been
purchased with the funds Of the COM
pany, and prevented the sale. A receiver
was later appointed, April 4, 1895, and he
sold the plant at receivers sale for
$13, 800. The Hamilton company then
claimed that the difference between that
price and the one offered by Major Hud-
son, or the loss incurred by the refusal
of Snow to sell, should be charged to
Snow, and Referee Spencer SO decided
This judgment of $4,73LS9 is declared
to be lien upon whatever money the
receiver may have in his hands belong
ing to the Hamiltons. 1t is also ad-
judged that each of the parties is en-
titled to one half the cash receivable and
profits which have accrued since Re-
ceiver Hubbard took his office on April
4, 1895.

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-A special to the
Herald from Key West, Fla, says:
According to private advices from
Havana there was great excitement on
the exchange yesterday, "wednesday,
where much seditious talk was indulged
in. Several coloneIs and officers of vol
unteers who were present made speeches
against Captain General Campos, and a
general protest was expressed against
his military inactivity and over humane
policy.
One major of volunteers proposed that
Campos be either forced to resign or be
lynched, and the speech was met by
cheers from various Spanish merchants
of we'll known intransigente principles
The majority of the representatives of
Spanish business houses present signed
a petition to close the exchanges, and
many favored closing the stores as 4
protest against Campos' permanence in
the island.
A delegation from the volunteer corps
officers was named TO wait on Camp0s,
and insist that Panado be called and
given full military command, and that
Campos either radically change his po-
litical policy or else resign the COVER
norship.
This sentiment against him is .increas-
ing hourly, and trouble is feared. Sew
eral foreign vessels in the port, by the
direction of their consignees have just
suspended the discharge of their car
goes awaiting the outcome of the affair.
Lieutenant General Marin has been
hurriediy called from Matanzas, aud is
now in consultation with the captain
general. Campos depends upon the
regular forces and upon the
fleet to support him in the
event of trouble, but at this
moment there are few troops in Havana,
most of the columns being out after Go
mez and MaceO, and unfortunately all
The warships are away cruising up and
