DIES MONIES, Nov. l0.--Attorney
General Remley has just submitted an
important opinion to the auditor Of
stats which will result IN I saving to
the stste Of something like $eo, 700
each year. The opinion is in regard
to the state support OF the different
county agricultural fairs. The law
provides that each county shall receive
5000 per year, provided that similar
or greater sum has been received by
the society during the year in the
form Of annual dues from the mem
bers. IN the past, the counties have
been given tho 5000 each year, as the
law was uninterrupted. Auditor OF
State Mccarthy thought that the law
was not being interpreted properly
and he wrote to the attorney general
for an opinion on the matter. In his
reply Mr.. Remley expresses the opinion
that the counties are not entitled to
the 5000 unless similar sum has been
received by then as annual dues from
members. AS few If any OF them
receive such a sum the 100000 spent
for this purpose each year by the state
will be saved.

Spain to secure independence. The
insurgents are getting ready to be as
embarrassing as possible in every
way. The recent activity in filibus-

upon active operations on such scale
as to excite interest, and if possible
arouse more sympathy in this country.

VINToS, Nov. 17.-The defense In
the Novak trial sprung a surprise,
when Joseph Stusnk. an old employee
of Novak's, testified that on the night
following the FIRE he and John Dusil
turned the valves in the gas pipes in
the boiler room, which the witness for
the state claimed they found welded
together by the heat SO they could not
be turned. Mr.. and Mrs, Zabortsky
testified that the stock in the store
was worth $4,000 to $1,000, and that
they carried insurance on only $4,000,
that the building was worth "a, 600
and the insurance was $4,000. They
also testified that just above the sleep
ing room were number of baskets,
indicating that in falling they might
have struck Murray and fractured the
skull.
V1NToN, Nov. el.-The line of de-
tense in the Novak murder trial has
been fully developed. His attorneys
will contend that when Novak awoke
the night of the fire he was overcome
by gases, that his mind was tempo.
rarily derapged, and that he wandered
away before it resumed its normal
condition, and when he was too far
gone to turn back; that the fracture
IN the head of Edward Murray was
caused by his falling from the sleep
ing room to the basement below and
striking sharp object. Drs. Andrews
and Carroll, Of the Iowa State Univer-
sity, were on the stand as experts to
show that these things could be
