of the Vote of No
Eject.

vERMGLLIoN, S. D., Nov. 25.-(Special)
Rev. c. f. Hager returned from Mitchell
yesterday morning. where he has been for
several days attending a meeting of the
prominent prohibitionsts OF the state The
meeting was called by Rev. Mr.. Carhart
Of Elk Point, president of the Prohibition
Nonpartisan union of the state. The object
of the meeting was to devise ways and
means of defeating the whisky element in
the state and yet placing South Dakota
among the prohibition states. 1t is sur
prising how many people voted in ignorance
OF the prohibition amendment. Many OF the
most prominent prohibition workers awoke
today to find that they voted the question
wrong simply through misunderstanding
OF the wording. 1t is estimated that fully
30 900 votes were not cast at all on the
question because of ignorance. Three ways
will be tried by the prohibition leaders to
carry the cause. The board OF returns at
Pierre will be enjoined December 3 from
deciding the temperance vote on the ground
that the amendment was worded In such
manner that the voters were deceived The
case will come before the supreme court
and 1t is quite likely that the whole vote
on the prohibition question will be thrown
out, which would place the prohibitory law
back where II was before election.

CAMERA PATENT CASE is DECIDED
Judge Scores Attorneys for CIogging
Wheels of Justice.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov 25.-Judge
Townsend of the United States circuit court
has handed down a decision in the case OF
the Eastman company of Rochester, n. Y,
against Getz & Hoover of Buffalo, n. Y.
The complainant in this suit alleged an in
fringement on patents owned by them on
machines and apparatus for making photo
graphic films The Eastman company manu-
features cameras and a victory for the com
pany in this care would have established a
complete monopoly of the manufacture of
films used in cameras of the snap shot class,
Judge Townsend orders that a decree be
entered dismissing the complaint
In his decision Judge Townsend vigorously
scores the attorneys for attempting to clog
the judicial machinery of United States
court with a superfuity of testimony and
exhibits. The judge says: Several weeks
were consumed in examining the briefs, testi-
mony and exhibits More than 1000 pages
of printed matter devoted TO this case more
forcibly illustrates the practice which now
prevails in patent cases of stufIing the
records with prolix cross examination and
irrelevant testimony" The exhibits shown
would almost fill freight car and the teSti-
mony filled some three or four volumes OF
the size of a dictionary. In discussing the
complaint the court finds that patents on
the process had already been numerously
granted.

ASK PROTECTION FROM WOLVES.
south Dakota CattIcmen Lose Heavily
from Tn;S Source.


CHAMBERLAIN. S. D.. Nov. 25.-(Special)
-Cattlemen in the Dad Lands section of
the great cattle range west of the Missouri
river have decided to ask aid OF the state
legislature in ridding that region of the
gray wolves, which continue to do great
damage to their herds. The cattlemen in a
scope of country extending fifty miles along
White river and back from that stream n
distance OF about twenty-five miles to the
head of Bad River some time ago formed an
organization having for its purpose the ami
hilation of gray wolves. upon which bounty
OF IS each was offered by the cattlemen.
The fund used for this purpose was raised by
assessing members of the organization 2
cents per head for each animal owned by
them. As cattlemen owning an aggregate of
about $4,000 head of cattle belonged to
the organization, a respectable fund was
raised in this manner. During the past
season three assessments have been levied
on the members of the organization, but
without any appreciable decrease in the
number of wolves that infest that territory.
This has become burdensonie on the cattle
men, and the state will now be asked to
assume the burden and protect the cattle
interests, which are among the most i'm
pOrtant in the state,

WEBSTER CITY, Ia, Nov. 25-(Speclal
Telegram.) 1.-THE case of James Paul, who is
accused of numbering his wife and mother
in-law Mrs. Dulin, at Homer, this county
last July. was called for trial yesterday even
ing. Up to p IN. today eight witnesses
had been examined, all the evidence point
ing to Paul es the murderer. Mary Pierce,
the last witness, testified to finding a small
bottle containing strychnine in the potato
patch near the house. DR.. Eberie made a
test of it before the court. 1t was proved
that Jim Paul took a small package of pow
der from the bureau and when he found that
he had been seen with 1t, threw II into the
stove. Paul tried to have his wife buried
the same day Of her death, so he might be
able to attend a dance the next night. She
was buried the morning of July and the
husband attended the dance with his present
wife.
Mrs. Dulin was known 20 have pension
money and deed of her property made out
in favor OF Jim Dulin. II was proven that
Jim Paul gave Mrs. Dulin a white bitter
powder the day she died. Excitement is at

ing in the beautiful little chapel. 1t was
sort OF informal effort on the part of a
number of the bright little people to show
their friends and the friends of the home
what they were capable of doing in the way
OF entertaining their elders The program
and the training OF the children were almost
wholly the work OF Mrs. C. A. Atkins, the
teacher She was assisted by Mrs s. S.
Faes and Mrs. w. H. Lynchard. The pro-
gram consisted OF songs. tabeaux and reci-
tations. quartet consisting OF Messrs.
Thomas Montfort and Arthur Wilson and
Misses Emily Anderson and Mamie Wilson,
furnished several most delightful numbers
on the program. The parts taken by the
children were full OF interest and pathos.
large number OF seats arranged In am
phitheater form filled the back end of the
chapel and half a hundred of the brightest
boys and girls OF the home occupied these
seats and joined with the heartiest good will
in the songs and choruses. The songs were
all simple and full of melody and the little
ones poured forth their happy souls with
a joyousness that was infectious solo
by a little colored boy. My Old Kentucky
Home" with variations and banjo and
chorus accompaniment. would have called
for an encore anywhere. The solo singing
of Miss Anderson, the nightingale of the
home, was very pleasing feature. II was
intended that the program should last an
hour, but the frequent determined encores
continued 1t until more than two hours had
elapsed
At the conclusion OF the program a bevy
OF little girls came upon the platform bear
ing handsome quilt which they had wrought
and presented II to Mr.. and Mrs. Lemen,
reciting in concert a little presentation
speech in which they breathed the senti-
ment that the work OF their little hands
might help to keep the manager and matron
warm as a feeble return for their care in
providing home and shelter for the chill
dren. Each child then told how she had
earned the money used in the purchase OF
the material. Manager Lemen made a fit
ting response.
Another interesting event occurred when
a girl and boy came forward and presented
Manager Lemen with two children's banks
which contained a penny from each child
in the home. which had been earned in
some manner.

DUBUQUE, Ia. Nov. 25.-(Special Tele-
gram)-The Bonacum case was submitted
to the metropolitan court today. Court
opened at o'clock Father Baart. the dele
gated Judge, ruled that the defendants were
entitled to the opening arguments. Each
submitted a written argument, to which
Father Sla,tery, the prosecutor replied at
length and they rejoned verbally. Upon the
conclusion of the argument this evening
Father Baart notified all parties to be
present next Tuesday. when sentence viii
be pronounced. He remarked that the case
is the first which has come before a metro
politan court in this country and was
destined to be celebrated as precedent. The
issues OF the case are the validity OF the
sentence for contempt and the action OF
Bishop Bonacum in Withdrawing the facul-
ties OF the defendants. The prosecution has
practically conceded the irregularity OF the
sentence for contempt and the defendants
right OF appeal from that sentence. This
leaves the question of whether the with
drawal of faculties was regular and the
further question OF whether II IVES void be-
cause IL cruel and un-
usual punishment for the trivial
ofTenses charged. There is reason to
believe that the court will pronounce for
the defense, though the defendants may re-
ceive some admoniton or slight rebuke for

WORK OF EXPERT BURGLARS
Safe at the Keystone Manufacturing Com
pany's Warehouse Robbed.
OPENED BY USING THE COMBINATION
Robbers Unlock the Door I'm the Usual
Manner and search the Contents
at Their Leisure, Securing
Some Cash.

The fact being generously advertised that
Council Bluffs business houses are an easy
mark for burglars brought some expert safe
cracksmen to town, and it was discovered
yesterday that they had done a profitable
job
when Manager j. b. Patterson OF the Key
stone Manufacturing company entered the
Office of the big implement warehouse In
the lower end of the agricultural implement
district he discovered that the place had
been visited by burglars. He was among
the last men in the office on the previous
evening and when he left he turned the
combination Of the office safe, inclosing many
valuable papers and nearly 5000 in cash.
When he entered the office the papers were
scattered In promiscuous confusion about
the room and the safe was wide open. The
cash drawer in the safe had been broken
open and the money 1t contained taken.
AS nearly as could be determined the amount
was $50.
An examination showed the burglars had
entered the building by prying open rear
window in the warehouse and forcing an
inside door to the Office. An examination
showed that the safe had been opened by
using the combination. AS there could not
be one chance in a million of the combina-
that 1t was the work OF expert safe men is
the only one entertained by the police or
Manager Patterson. The safe is protected
by a four-tumbler lock and only a fine ex-
pert could open 1t without knowing the COM
bination.
Manager Patterson concluded at first to
say nothing about the robbery. but to bear
his loss in silence. If not sorrow but during
the afternoon when he discovered that the
reporters had learned the story he confided
to the police There was no clew obtainable.
A large amount of machine notes and deal
ers' paper were carefully examined, but the
burglars realized that it would be dangerous
work attempting to dispose OF them and they
dropped them on the floor Some OF them
stuck to their fingers until they reached the
Office door
There was a rumor that another Office safe
in the agricultural implement district was
opened in the same manner, but II II had
any foundation the victims guarded the
secret most successfully

a few days ago. A growth like a cataract

was struck squarely on the left eyeball by
a flying chip. The eye bled profusely and
he tainted from the pain. He suffered for
