 Supreme Court,

High Court Will Indirectly Pass Upon the Constitutionality of the Law Goes Up on Mandamus Pro-
 ceedings-Bond Filed

The anti-pool selling law will be passed upon by the supreme court at an early date.
 The mandamus proceedings against Jus tice of the Peace I. II. Benners in the crim- inal court last Tuesday are familiar to Age-Herald readers
 It was stated and believed at the time that in compliance with Judge Greene's de- cision Justice Benners would issue war rants for the arrest of alleged violators of the law prohibiting book-making and pool selling in the state, but instead of that an appeal was taken from the decision.
 In this way the issue is brought indirect ly before the supreme court without delay and while the decision will be upon the mandamus proceedings, it will settle once for all the consdtutonality of the law.
 Yesterday bond to secure the cost of an appeal to the supreme court was made and the transcript will oe forwarded at the ear- Hest possible date.

 After examination the class was re- ceived into full fellowship.
 Reports under question No. 20 were con- tlnued and many responses were made, showing the excellent condition of the church throughout the conference.

 Night Session
 The night session was called to order by the bishop at the appointed hour. Devo- tional exercises were conducted by Rev. c. M. Hensley and after the reading of the journal, the board of eduea ton made its report through Rev. G. W. Reed, seere- tary. While the report showed much good work, it recommended further efforts on the part of preachers in the cause and sug- gested that the first Sunday in January or as near that date as practicable be set aside as a Gay for special offerings for the educational fund. Presiding elders were urged to push the work in the district con- ferences. The report was adopted.
 The bishop followed in magnificent ad- dress on the subject of education and made a powerful appeal in behalf of the sev- eral denomnatonal institutions, and the cause of Cuba in which he is deeply inter- ested. His words were eloquent and his ap peal vent to the hearts of his hearers who made liberal responses to the call for offerings.
 During the call responses were heard from aM parts of the house and when the total was summed up it was found that more than 5000 had been raised the larger part of which was designated to the North Ala bama Conference college.

The two men separated last spring, one
going to Cape Nome by dog train and
the other by sail boat and each exper-
fenced some thrilling times on the trip.
AT Cape Nome they report fully 5000
people, many of whom are washing out
gold on the beach, making from S. to
$50 day, while claims are staked out
for long distance into the interior.
Both have been in good health since
going to that country and experienced
but little suffering from the cold during
the past winter. They say nothing of
returning home and will probably
spend another winter in that section.
They spent last winter on the Kobuck

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Oct. 10.-The Indictment
at the last term of court in Franklin
county of A. w. Monroe, of that coun-
ty, will bring into the courts a case that
will attract much attention over the
state, as it is aimed to enforce pro-
vision of the pharmacy law directed
against itinerant vendors of patent
medicines. Like many other men over
the state Mr.. Monroe has been selling
medicines through the country and has
thus gained a livelihood. Under the
pharmacy law he is not authorized to
sell medicines, not being a legitimate
dealer. If conviction follows this in
dictment there will be many others
over the state equally as liable to pros
ecution for the violation of the law.
The case will probably come up at the
next term of court.
