AMENDMENTS TO THE MULCT LAW.
Senate Committee lake Changes i'm
Tempernnce L~cEIsIntiOn.

DIES MONIES, Feb. 20.--(Special)-The
senate committee on suppression OF intern
perance held a long session and took sew
eraI important steps. One of them was to
report a new legalizing act to apply to the
special charter cities that have been operat-
ing under the mulct law. Several amend
ments were also reported to the mulct law.
One of these is that the supervisors snail
examine all petitions of consent, either Tor
cities or for counties, and determine on their
sufficiency underG7the1 law. AS the Ia"
row stands no authority is constituted to
do this. The petition is simply open to pub
lie inspection, but unless the matter pc
taken into the courts there is nobody to
decide whether it Is good or bad, suthcleht
or insufficient. There will be a right OF APP
peal from the decision of the supervisors.
IL was also decided that where property
offered for tax sale under the mulct tax
foreclosure is not bid In for the full tax as
has in a number OF cases happened, 1t may
be sold at the next succeeding tax sale to
the highest bidder fh
Still another amendment adopted is that
there shall be secured only one petition or
one remonstrance, in, any calendar year,
That is, the decision of the voters OF the
county, either way, must stand Tor a year,
The Ellis legalizing act first submitted
was withdrawn and Senator Ellis onered
a new one as a substitute, which was ac-
cepted. II will be reported to the senate
in a day or two, and is as follows:
That proceedings had by the inhabitants
of cities under special charters and theil
corporate acts and acts OF the supervisors
of the counties in which such cities are
situated, for the purpose of putting. into

JUDGE HAS ASWINDLING BOX
sorely Puzzled to Know Whether He May
Destroy the Article
COUNTY ATTORNEY DECIDES HE MAY NOT
Dcvice for Dealing skin-Gnmc Faro
Used as Evidence and FINALLY
Returned to Its owner
After ueing Examined.

Justice Burke yesterday had a case before
him involving the ownership of a "braced
box for dealing skin-game faro. A day or
two ago some Of the local gamblers fell out,
and the silver faro box that was used in
one of the establishments which failed or
was closed up several weeks ago was taken
possession of by one of the fraternity TO
whom it did not belong. The quarrel finally
got into the local justice court. The owner
shin of the box was not so much a question
FOR the court to determine Gs was the PROB
lem of what to do with 1t. Under the pam
construction OF the Iowa law against
gambling. 1t was the privilege, not the duty
CT the court to order the destruction OF the
device. Justice Burke consulted Judge THOR
nell and other members of the bench and
sheir opinion was that it was his duty to see
that the swindling box should be destroyed.
County Attorney Saunders was also called
into the consultation. He believed the same
way. but when he came to look up the law
he was unable to find any section OF the stat
ute that would justify the destruction OF
the box owing to the manner IN whlch IL
| came within the Jurisdiction OF the court
IL the court had secured possession OF 1t on
a search warrant his duty would nave DeeI
plain, but as the box came into court as eVi,
dence in the prosecution of a SUIT, ne coulo
not destroy it without becoming haole toi
it's value. Catalogues of gamblers goods
were looked over and the price of the boz
was found to be $500, and this high price
made its destruction involve too much risk
While the box was in court it was thorough!
dissected. and the ingenious tricks by whicf
it's manipulators made every deal win were
disclosed to the gaping crowd. The box was
a pretty piece of delicate mechanism. INT
court decided that the bcx was the property
of NJ. r. Connolly, a Council Bluffs man

ABOLISH sUPERFLUoUs OFFICERS.
Iowa National Guard Petitions the
LcgisIntmrc for SOmc Reforms.

Town National Guard Petitions the
Legislature for Some Reforms.
DIES MONIES, Feb. 2O.-(Special.)-The
Iowa National Guard wants the number of
officers reduced and the average acreage of
gold lace cut down to a mere suggestion of
it's present glory. This is the substance of
a petition that was presented to the house
committee on military affairs yesterday and
which has a good chance of being adopted.
Leading members of the guard came from
all over the state to present the matter,
which it is desired shall be incorporated
into the revised military code.
There are now forty-siX members of the
governors staff, and 1t is in the discretion
of the governor to increase this to as many
regiments as he may choose. The highest
rank is major general, held by the adjutant
general; then there are brigadier generals
in charge of the commissary, hospital, judge
advocates and inspector generals depart
ments; and there are from thirty to forty
colonies and lieutenant colonies on the staff
as aids, whose only function is to wear gor-
| geous uniforms and grace social functions.
It is proposed to reduce the adjutant gen.
eral to a brigadier; to make the brigadier
heads of departments colonies, and to do
away with all but four of the aids and give
them the rank Of captains.
There were present the following officers:
General ]. Rush Lincoln of Ames, General
p. w. McManus of Davenport, Colonel
Thomas F. Cooke of Algona, Major w. c.
Wyman of Ottumwa, Captain George e.
Evans of Cedar Rapids, president of the
Iowa Guard association; Captain w. T.
Chantland Of Fort Dodge, secretary of the
association; Colonel H. II. Garfield of
Boone, Captain George P. Guyot of Des
Moines, Captain A. b.. Shaw of Corning,
General j. T. Priestly of Des Moines.
The military men told the house commit
tee that they thought it would be to the
best interests of the guard to do away with
the superfuous staff officers; it would make
the rest of the guard feel better, do away
with a good deal of prejudice and result
in better discipline. The only change asked
in the laws was that the ranks be reduced
and the number of aids decreased. as in
dictated. The house members told the sol
diers that they had always taken great
comfort in the contemplation of the mag
nifcence OF the governors staff; they
thought 1t would be a great loss to the state,
especially to the pretty girls, to have all
that array Of handsome uniforms and varie-
colored trimmings abolished. But they ad-
mitted the self-sacrifcing spirit of the young
men who were willing to lose their glorl-
GUS habiliments, and they intimated that
they would try to do as requested, The
amendments asked for will probably be re-
ported. Governor Drake Is in favor of them
and there seems to be no opposition OF
serious force.

BILL IS AMENDED 70 DEATH
House Defeats Proposed Investigation of
State Institutions.
DENOUNCED AS A POLITICAL SCHEME
scnntor Cnrney Accuscd of BcinR
Actunted by n Desire 10 Embnrrnss
the Management of Marshall
town soldiers Home.

DIES MONIES, Feb. 20.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The proposed investigation of state
institutions was killed today in the house.
The resolution by Senator Carney which had
passed the senate was called up and caused
a long and excited debate. Amendments
were adopted one after another till 1t had
been amended to death. All provision for
payment of the committee, except mileage,
was stricken out and then the provision to
allow the a clerk and expert as
sistance was cut out. The resolution was
denounced as a scheme to secure political
advantages for certain people who are push
ing 1t. One speaker declared that Senator
Carney was actuated by a desire to embar-
rass the management Of the Soldiers home
at Marshalltown, his home city. There has
been a fight between the management and
the inmates for a long time over an attempt
of the trustees to compel inmates to turn
over a part of their pension and Senator
Carney was nominated for his present po-
sition by reason of having the united sup
port of the inmates for whom he had been
attorney in their contest with the man
cement. The result of the discussion was
that a motion carried to lay the resolution
on the table, killing it for the session.
Amendments were made to the railway
bill making street railways equally liable
with other railways for damages to en-
plOySS. Another amendment duOpleu pro-
vidcs that no railway corporation shall be
exempted from liability on account of per-
sonal injuries to an employe by reason OF
the fact that it shall have carried insur-
ance for it's employees. A concurrent reso-
luton to request the railway commission
ers to take steps to secure lower rates on
corn during the present era of low prices
carried. A resolution to memorabilia con
gress to change the regulations in relation
to evidence required in support of claims
for pensions was also adopted. Its object
is to make the requirements less stringent
the preamble setting forth that at present
thousands of veterans are unable to comply
with the requirements who are entitled tc
pensions.
In the senate the bills revising the laws
relating to the State university and State
Normal school were passed. The bill re
lating to taking private property for cor
porate uses was amended to require the
company to pay the costs of appeals. The
laws relating to the state agricultural col
lego were passed, including a new provision
that 1t shall be a crime to sell intoxicant!
within four miles of the college. The bill!
relating to the schools for the blind ant
for feeble-minded children were passed.

DECISION IN NV SWAMP CASE.
Judge Thomas Rules Against State
and mn Appeal VIII De Taken.

Judge ThOmns Rules Against state
and nm Appeal VIII De Taken.
DIES MONIES, Feb. 20.-(Special Tele-
g~ram.)-Attorpey General Remley today re-
ceived from Judge Thomas the decision in the
famous Owl Swamp land case, which has
been in the courts nearly two years. 1t Is
important because the decision, which is
against the state, lays down a rule that
amounts to determining that the state cannot
prevent the selling Of all the small lakes by
the counties. Governor Jackson attempted
to prevent the counties from selling the lakes
within their borders, to be drained and sold
as agricultural lands. A large number of
them have been treated In this way, and OBJ
~jections were entered against having all the
small bodies of water in the state destroyed,
as many of those drained were fine lakes.
The state, accordingly interviewed in the case
of George r. Pearsons against the claimants
to Owl lake. Pearsons had bought the lake
bed from Humboldt county and drained it.
The county had secured a patent from the
state as swamp lands, under the swamp land
grant of 1850. In intervening the state
set up that 1t was not properly swamp land
and should not have been so patented. 1t was
claimed that 1t was a meandered body, and,
therefore. the property of the state, by virtue
OF its sovereign rights over such bodies Of
water, rather than by reason of the swamp
land grant. The court holds that the state,
by reason of having made the mistake Of ask
ing a patent TO the lake as swamp lands lost
all right to claim land under its sovereign
rights to all meandered screams and lakes.
The effect of the decision, If sustained, will
be to uphold all the sales OF lakes by coun-
ties, and to allow the same course to be con-
tinued in future. Attorney General Remley
| says he will appeal the case, and hopes for a
decision, under which the state will be able
to protect its lakes.
