FOR HAWKEYE FOLKS
STATE ITEMS WHICH WILL BE OF
GENERAL INTEREST.

Des Moines, Ia, July 1.-The first at
tempt in Iowa to compel merchant to
furnish seats for his saleswomen was
begun Thursday in Des Moines court.
The suit was that of the state against
]. B. Alderman. brought at the in
stance of the Iowa Humane society.
The points which have been left with
Justice Blyler to decide are:
Does a 6XS-inch pine ink box consti-
tute Suitable seat demanded by the
Iowa statute?
Are seven such pine boxes, two win
dow seats partly filled with merchan-
disc, and numerous drawers that may
be pulled out of tables sufficient seats
for force of salesgirls that has varied
from fifteen to fifty?
Does the fact that the salesgirls
were permitted to obtain boxes to the
number of seven from the basement to
use as seats constitute "a maintenance
Of suitable seats when practicable?"
An additional point which it is neces-
sary for Justice Blyler to decide is
whether girls who have and who evince
desire to retain positions with the
establishment are in position to give
more satisfactory evidence than others
who have left the employ of the de-
tense. In his endeavor to pronounce
upon the suitability of seven pine ink
boxes as seats Justice Blyler is en-
tangled by the conflicting testimony of
the salesgirls. Those who have left
Manager Ackerman's establishment af-
firm that as a resting place a 6xS-inch
box is not to be preferred to chair
or stool. The prosecution maintains
that they are not to be accepted as
substitutes in the eye of the law.
The girls who are still with the firm
claim that pine ink boxes are perfectly
lovely as seats. Manager Alderman
explains that between the counters
and the shelves there Is not space for
anything but pine ink boxes. The coun-
sci for the defense asks If the state in
terprets the dubious requirement fol

practicable to be used to such an ex-
tent as the work may reasonably per

NO CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.

Thirty Five Thousand Men Now Ready
for General Otis.
Washington, July 3.-The war de-
partment has nearly perfected the de-
tails of the project for the enlistment
of volunteers under the terms of the
act of the last congress. There is to
be nothing in the nature of call, but
as heretofore stated, the soldiers vii!
be obtained in the regular method
through the efforts of the United States
recruiting officers stationed in the va
rious large cities. To this end the
department has already sent out to
these officers full instructions for their
guidance, as well as blanks for enlist
ments. and everything is now in shape
to begin recruiting at the word from
Washington. 1t was stated by the adj
jutant general that the department
contemplate raising nine regiments in
all, and the instructions to the recruit
ing officers are based on this figure.
Each regiment will have strength of
1926 men, making total force of
1884 men. This will be almost twice
the number of men which General Otis
reports will be necessary to give him
the force of 300 90 electives, which he
requires.
The recruiting for the regular army
has brought that establishment up to

MUTlNY ON THE PANTHER.

Crew Rebelled Against Food and Twenty
Four We're Put in Irons.
Philadelphia, July 3.-There is trou-
BILE on the cruiser Panther, now ut
League island, which may mean seri-
GUS consequences for number of her
crew. 1t is learned that an embryo
mutiny developed on the Panther while
she was on her way from San Juan to
this port, and which was not sup
pressed until twenty-four men had
been placed in irons. 1t appears that
while the Panther was at San Juan,
in command of Captain George c. Rec
tor, the greater part of her crew re-
belled against the food, and asked to
be transferred elsewhere. They were
told that the Panther was shortly to
be relieved by the tug Uncas, but this
did not tend to check the dissatisfac-
ton.
On the voyage it became necessary
to place n number of the men In con-
fnement. although there was no open
or violent breach of discipline mani
tested.

Keep the Record Straight


Occasionally the Sioux City Tribune
seems to suffer from lapse of mem
DRY. At such times it pretends to
enumerate the losses sustained by the
Democratic party on account of its ad
vocacy of bimetalllsm. 1t has recently
been having one of these spells; and,
more for the purpose of keeping the
record straight, than to attempt to
change our Sioux City neighbor, we call
attention to few facts which can not
be truthfully controverted. In 1892
when the Democratic party stood I'M
qualifiedly for bimetallism, it won an
overwhelming victory; it elected 2l9
members to the lower House of Con
gress, but, unfortunately, it elected a
president who labored under the delu-
sion that he was better and knew more
than his party. Cleveland disregarded
the advice of majority of his party's
representatives in Congress; and, guild
ed by the spectators of New York
City, threw all the force of his admin
istration in favor of a single gold stand
ard. Under his malign single gold
standard policy, Democratic prospects
were burned at the stake.
At the next congressional election in
1884, the Democrats lost more than half
of their representation in the National
House of Representatives The party
elected only 1O4 representatives that
year.
At the last elections held in the sever
al states prior to the assembling of the
Chicago convention in 1886, the Demo
Gratis had lost in thirty six states and
won in but nine. Under the blighting
influence of Cleveland's single gold
standard policy the Democrats had lost
their majorities and pluralities in every
state, except Alabama, Arkansas, Flor
ida, Georgia, louisiana, Mississippi,
South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.
The fears and dangers of the race pro-
blem saved the party from disaster in
these extreme southern states. That
was the low ebb to which Cleveland
and his gold standard advisers had
brought the party; that was the condi-
ton which confronted Democracy's re
representatives. when they assembled at
Chicago in 1896. The newspaper or
man who ascribes the psrty's losses to
the platform or nominee of that con-
vention is either short on memory or
long on the qualities used in the manu-
facture of fiction,

Shot and killed Her Husband.

Chicago, July 3.-Grace Doyle, alias
Harrington, shot and instantly killed
her husband, Timothy Doyle, in La
Sale avenue, near Indiana street, at
4:30 o'clock in the morning. The re-
volver used by the woman belonged to
Anthony Payton, detective of the
East Chicago avenue station, in whose
company she was at the time of the
shooting. Mrs Doyle was under the
influence of liquor, and grabbed the
weapon from the detectives coat pock-
ct. Doyle was accompanied by Mary
Osgood when he met his wife. Jeal-
ousy, caused by the sight of her hus-
band with another woman and her in
toxicated condition, resulted in the
tragedy.
