FOOTBALL CONDEMNED.
ton Puts 1t I'm the Prize Fight
Category.

Prize fighting and football, which the
ministers of Des Moines have come to
look upon as twin evils, were discussed
vigorously at a meeting of the Minis
terial association, and although no reso-
buttons on the subject We're adopted,
nor any other definite action taken,
the sentiment of the association was
very clearly and decidedly against foot
ball. DIR. j. A. Writ, of the English
Lutheran church, was the chief speaker
against the game, which he denounced
as fully as brutal as prize fighting. He
thought there was little hope of rid
ding the country of the vicious infiu-
ences of prize fighting as long as the
Christian colleges everywhere persist
ed in sanctioning and supporting foot
bail. The ministers We're unanimous
in their denunciation of the game.
Though some of them did not take any
active part in the discussion, there were
none who argued in favor of the game.

ATTACKS MULcT LAW.
Claim Set Up by Liquor Men That Law
Is in Violation of Federal
Constitution.

A. D. Breuner recently commenced
suit to close up seven saloons in Sioux
City under the mulct law. The attor-
ney for the defense now sets up the
claim that the law is in violation of the
federal constitution and asks for a
transfer to the. federal court. He bases
the claim on the ground that the law
provides that anyone who violates it's
provisions may be prosecuted crimi-
nally, his stocks confiscated and him
self enjoined from engaging in the
business again, and that private indi-
viduals may push prosecutions with
out the consent of the authorities.
The defense claims that these things
do not. constitute due process of law
for depriving citizens of their prop
erty and that they are thus denied
the right of jury trial for penal Of
lenses. A ruling of the court may
furnish ground for test of the mat
ter in the court of last resort.

There was reunion of father and
daughter near Davis, Ind, which was
the sequel of 80 years search. John W..
Westervelt, a Woodbury. county farmer,
found in Mrs. Mary E. Beckley, wife OF

Mrs. Westervelt died soon after the
birth of her daughter, and the latter
was adopted by family who subse-
quently moved to Indiana. Mr.. Wester-
welt began search over quarter of
a century ago, with the determination
to find his daughter if she was alive.
The publication of his efforts to find
her finally brought a letter post
marked Smithfeld, Ia, which resulted
in continued correspondence until the
fact became established that Mrs. Beck
ley was the daughter of the Woodbury.
county farmer, and lately the reunion
took place.
Mr.. Westervelt is now advanced in
years, and his good fortune in finding
his daughter will result in his making

SUGGESTIONS FROM ROOT

War Is Replete with New
Ideas and Plans.
A HISTORY OF MILITARY OPERATIONS.
Governmental for Porto Rico Is Outlined
Regular Army Is Earnestly Rec
ommended-Necd of n War College
Set Forth-COst of Army.

Washington. Dec. 4.-The annual report
of Elihu Root secretary of war, was made
public Friday. The first half is devoted to
the operation of the army in the Philip
pines Cuba and Porto Rico. The report
gives a full history of the military opera
lions in the Philippines from August u,
1888, up to the present time. An impor-
tant feature of the report is comprehen-
sive outline of plan of government for
Porto Rico. 1t is understood that Presl-
dent Mckinley is in entire accord with Sec
rotary Root on this question. and that the
plan outlined by the secretary will be the
identical plan which the president will rec
ommend to congress in his annual message.
Government for Porto Rico.
Concerning the plan of government pro-
posed for Porto Rico, Secretary Root cites
the Paris treaty, which provides that con-
gress shall determine the civil rights and
political status of the natives of the terri
tory ceded to this government The scheme
outlined includes definite declaration by
congress of what American laws are to be
made applicable to the Porto Ricans, fol-
lowing which it is recommended that
federal judiciary be established.
The form of insular government proposed
provides for the appointment of governor
by the president, to be confirmed by the
senate; the chief officers of state customary
under our system, and legislative council
70 pc composed or the chief offlcerS OF state
and minority selected from the people of
the island by the president. All acts of the
council are to be subject to the veto power
of the governor and to be passed over the
veto by a two-thirds vote. No law is to
become effective until it has remained with
out this approval for 80 days after its pres
entatton to congress or the president. 1t is
suggested that voting right should be lin
tied to those who read and write or who
own a small amount Of property.
The secretary considers 1t too early to es-
tablish local legislature, giving the in
habtants the franchise only in municipal
affairs.
Abolition Of the duties between the Unit
ed States and Porto Rico is recommended

Favors Larger Army.

An increased and reorganized regular

in the system involved, is earnestly recon-
mended. Radical changes, which contem-
plate the betterment of the service in
every department are proposed. The
changes in the army organization and the
increase proposed are in the first instance
specified particularly, while in the second
no definite statement is made except as
to artillery. The present artillery force is
recommended to be increased five times its
present strength. The increase in officers
and enlisted men is to be sufficient to man
the equipment in the seacoast fortifica-
tions, besides providing for the other
branches of the service.
