MAY SELL CIGARETTES IN IOWA.
Prohibition Inv of No Force in that

DES MONIES. Nov. 9O.-(Special Tele

the leading tobacconists in the city began
to sell openly at the old price of cents
per package. A short time ago it was dis
covered that the law could not prevent this
The interstate commerce provision of the

was supposed. when the anti-cigarette law
was passed, that this federal law would also
legalize the Iowa cigarette law. The To-
bacco trust has discovered that the federal
statute applies only to liquors. The original
package decision has been very broad and
the cigarette men are convinced that they
can sell, so long as they do not break the
original packages. a number OF dealers to-
day received consignments of a large mum
ber of scent packages. They had been
shipped in that form, simply being dumped
into the corner of an express car. The deal

pushed up the rates to 10 and 10 cents.

First Tuesday in Month of World
Wide Importance to Orphnnugc.
Manager Lemen of the Christian home re-
ports the Thanksgiving receipts so far as
being fully up to the anticipations Of the
friends of the great charitable institution.
The report, of course, is not by any means
complete. Only the donations sent in by
nearby friends have yet reached the home.
The Home Band" now over 30, 600 strong
is scattered all over the United States, and
even penetrates into Europe and Asia. In
view of the fact that the great bulk of the
receipts come from abroad, the local mem
bers of the home band feel an especial inter
est in having a generous contribution from
Council Bluffs and Omaha and vicinity There
are large number of Omaha children being
cared for in the home without money and
without price and Omaha has contributed
less than almost any other city. 1t is the
earnest desire of the workers that the
Thanksgiving and Christmas receipts will be
sufficient to give them the victory over the
pressing debt that has hung over the home
during the year. The financial depression
during the year has operated against the re-
ceipts. and the result has been that the
weekly offerings have been the lightest in
the history of the home. This mas left debt
of large magnitude, and it is this debt that
the home workers want to see wiped out.
The Thanksgiving donations have already
been sufficient to discharge the dangerous
debts and If the workers at home do as well
as those abroad the Christmas and New
Year offerings will win the victory.
Nothing. perhaps indicates the wonderful
interest that is taken in the home all over
the country better than the observance of
what is now known as christian Home
Prayer Day" This is the first Tuesday in
each month. Manager Lemen conceived the
idea some time ago, and in the Christian
Home, paper printed at the institution, he
made the suggestion and named the day.
The first month there were about twenty
letters received announcing that the day
had been observed, the next month there
were fifty and since then they have come in
by hundreds. These letters came from all
parts of Christendom, even India and
China. At the present time the observance
of the custom has arrayed a band of Chris
tian people, extending almost around the
earth uniting with one voice in prayer for
the welfare of the orphanage and the hun
dreds of the homeless children 1t is shelter
ing. The spectacle is certainly an inspiring
one even viewed as the world views such
things.
Today is prayer day. and for thirty
minutes from to $50 thousands of prayers
will be offered up. Appropriate exercises viii
be held at the home. Rev. c. w Brewer of
the Trinity Methodist Episcopal church will
conduct the meeting, A quartet of young
people will participate in the exercises.

Queer Actions of Stranger Mt Sioux
City Causing Comment.


City Causing Comment.
SIOUX CITY, Nov. 30.-(Specal TelegramD
The people of Sioux City have become
greatly interested in the actions of a stranger
who has been in the city about ten days
The stranger was arrested by the police one
day last week, charged with drunkenness
and gave the name of X. Strom, but at the
hotel he registers as X. c. Strom Thoren of
Fargo. He associates with the Swedes of
the city but says he is native of France
He is spending money freely and in all man
ner of queer ways. He goes to church and
usually puts a gold coin in the plate. He
buys clothes and throws them away in a
few days, He has made presents to friends
some of them costly. At one time he dis
played a roll of bills supposed to be about
81 800, and when those who have been watch
ing him demonstrated against his reckless
ness he said he had right TO spend his own
money and had plenty left, Friends have
figured out that at the rate he has been
going hero he would spend about $4,000 o
year. Where he came from and who he is
no one knows. He was here thirteen years
ago and passed under a different name, but
spent money freely at that time.

IOWA MUCH IN NEED OF REVENUE.
Approaching Session of the LcGisIn~
lmrc WI Cnnsihcr TINT lnestiom.


turc VIII Consider that Question.
DIES MONIES, Nov 3O.-(Speca Tele
gram.)-There is every reason to believe that
the special session of the legislature in Jan
uary will not confne itself to work on code
revision, although Governor Drake has dc
clared he does not want any other matters
taken up. The states finances are in such
a condition that legislators consider some
action imperative. The treasurer is unable
to cash warrants from month to month and
thero is now a deficit of nearly 100000 and
increasing every month. Taxes come in
slowly and the appropriations are much
larger than the revenue, even If it could
ali be collected. There is a serious prospect
that the state, to make up the deficit, will
have to issue bonds for the first time in
many years Members of the legislature arc
moving for a revision of the revenue laws
and many of them will insist on a measure
for the assessment of all property at actual
cost The present system is to assess one
tenth values and the states present troubles
are attributed to inequality of this system
and to the opportunity it gives for conceal
ing personal property.

VERMILLION, S. D., Nov. SO.-(Special
Telegram)-The farmers in this part of
the state are just awakening to the fact
that horses are soon going to be at a pre-
MUM. The market for horse flesh for
number of years past has been very poor,
for only One-thrd their value. The mar
some of the best standard animals selling
ket has been poor that a rule, the
farmers have stopped breeding entirely,
and as a result the stock of horses has
been gradually on the decrease The price
is now on the mend. Farmers will again
realize good prices for their horses and
colts and make it a profitable business. To
illustrate the worthlessness of horse flesh,
two men made a trade recently One man
traded a piece of land for several horses.
When the bargain was about made the man
taking the horses refused two of them al
though they were in fine condition, saying
that he had use for only four and he didn't
want the expense of feeding them. The
bargain was made and the man retained

Strike Among the DocLscrs is Taking

on IL Formidable Aspect.
HAMBURG, Nov. 3O.-Owing to a lack of
work several warehouse companies have been
obliged to discontinue operations.
At midnight at an excited meeting of the
river engineers they decided to go out on
strike in the morning.
A letter signed by Senator Hatchman
the chief Of police; Sigmund HInrichsen, the
president of the municipal council, and DIR.
NOaCk, chairman of trades court, has been
sent to Count von Elm, a member of the
RCichstag, as the representative of the
strikers, and to Herr Laessi2a, ship owner,
representing the employers, appealing to
them to have the dockers' dispute arbitrated
and suggesting that a court composed Of
themselves, one leading cmploye and f1ur
labor representatives, be appointed for this
purpose, and that its decisions should re-
quire the support of at least six out of eight
votes.
The Hamburg American Steamship COM
pany. which ordered the steamer Adria,
from Baltim,re to go to Nordenham to dis
charge her cargo on account of the strike,
has since instructed that steamship to come
to Hamburg, where it is said, the influx
of foreign labor will enable them to unload
the steamship.
The engineers of the harbor steamers
and tugs demand an increase of wages or
they will strike tomorrow. The wOrkmen
on the state quays have also decided to
stop work If they are asked to discharge
the steamers of the Hamburg American
company.
Two steamers have arrived here from
England and Denmark with non-uni1n la
borers to take the place of the strikers.
The Heidmann coal firm dismissed all
strikers today The masters have rejected
the warehousemens demands, and they re-
fuse to negotiate. The wages committee
for the sailmakers of Hamburg and Alto ma
have pledged themselves not to aid the
masters. Many grain handlers, however,
have resumed work
