IN THE FEDERAL COURT.
A Number of Petty Cases Were Disposed of
Yesterday.

Tt was a long list of petty moon
shining cases that confronted His
Honor at the opening of court yester-
day morning. The citizens of various

Uncle Sam ON the manufacture and
sale of ardent spirits, and in conse-
quence of certain acts based upon
this opposition. there were number
of them ranged in the court room, to
answer therefor Some of these es-
capped the clutches of the myrmidons
of the law, and by jury of their peers
were allowed to go without day." but
conviction followed in most of the
cases tried.
The following cases were tried yes
terday:
United States vs. Willie Wilmington,
charged with distilling, verdict not
guilty.

plead not guilty but the jury brought
in verdict of guilty.

ed with retailing. Defendant plead
not guilty. The jury bring in a ver-
dict of guilty, but recommend him to
the mercy of the court.
A mol pros was entered in the case

retailing.
An order for sci. ia. and judgment
absolute was granted in eleven cases.

tinued.

tinued, and capias granted.

AN ILLINOIS FIGHT.

-.as -. ei..t. ~
Cullom-Tanner Contest for Contr oil of the
~ Legislature on in Earnest.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Feb. 14.-The con-
vention Of the RepubH bHcans Of Sangamoo1n
county resulted in a split, the Cullom
delegates leaving the hall in body and
adjourning to the opera house. The
result is that two delegations will apply
for admission in the state and congress
sional conventions and there will be two
Republican representative tickets in the
field. ,-- %a.a -.
The convention was called to order in
representatives hall by Chairman Grout
Of the county central committee, who
has been the leader of the Tanner fac
ton. The trouble commenced in the
very outset, when Chairman Grout an
nounced that MazeweH township would
be entitled to one vote and Laomi town
ship to four, instead of five, as stated in
the official call, and that Frederick Nor
timer (Tannerite) was entitled to the
proxy of the delegate from Sherman,
which had instructed for Cullom.
Before the vote on permanent chair
man was announced the Cullom dele
gates, headed by Hon. David T. Littler,
withdrew to the. opera house, where
they organized and elected delegates to
the convention and nominated a county
ticket, while the Tanner men, who re-
mained, nominated another ticket.

COPENHAGEN, + eb.. 14.-Captain sAl-
lum, who is proceeding to. South Africa
as Norwegian attache to the British
forces, had during his stay at The
Hague conversation with the envoy
extraordinary of the Orange Free State.
Mr.. Muller later said: The war is be-
ginning to collapse England's power in
South Africa. The longer the war lasts
the heavier will be the conditions Of
peace, for England will not come out Of
it without giving important conces-
sions." TX .s.S->:.s s
The secretary Of the envoy, a young
Transvaaler, added that both republics
will have full freedom and indepen-
dence; further, England will have to
give up those parts of Cape Colony,
Natal, and Bechuanaland where the in
habitants have thrown in their lot with
the republics, for they must not be left
in the lurch. AS to the territory to be
conceded, the secretary mentioned the
following: Basutoland, Kimberley dis
trict of Orange River, Bechuanaland,
and the northern triangle of Natal, to-
gether with st. Lucia bay and the adja-
cent land as far as the Transvaal.

they would certainly hold him as a host

OUTLET FOR ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Duluth, Glencoe and St. Cloud President
= I. 80. Outlines Probabilities. -

Duluth, Glencoe and St. Cloud President
as Outlines Probabilities. a
ST.. PAUL, Feb. 14.-''ssWe will build
the Duluth, Glencoe and Southwestern
from Mankato to ST. Cloud this sum
mer. It is more than possible that the
line viii become the Illinois Central g
outlet to the lakes when finished. I
have been negotiating with that road,
and while nothing definite has been ac-
complished, this object is more than a
possibility h: rs.
This is the answer which President A,
H. Reed Of Glencoe gave to the question
which has puzzled many local railroad
men, why new line should be built
via St. Cloud to Duluth when the field
is already covered. The reply Of the
president Of the new line throws much
light on the possibilities.
Further than this, President Reed said
that at the annual meeting, held in De.
cember, the directors amended the ar
ticles Of Incorporation in such manner
that the line will be permitted to build
north and south branch from St. Cloud
through the Red Lake district, to the
boundary, to connect there with the new
Canadian east and west line, or to &c
further and connect with the Canadian
Pacific.
eff this line is built,' said Mr. Reed
s'the Rock Island would have a system
stretching from the Gulf to the norther
most boundary of the United States
and in addition, would also have al
open market at Duluth.

ENJOINS TAYLOR
Kentucky Democrats Conclude to
Institute Proceedings in
Equity
To Restrain Taylor From Exer-
cising the Functions Of
Governor.
Pending Results No Change in
the Present Situation Is
Expected.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. IA. = Before
Judge Cantrill at Georgetown the Dem
ocrats will bring suit in equity asking
an injunction to restrain Governor Tay-
lor from exercising any Of the functions
of the Office Of governor. 1t is expected
a temporary injunction will be granted.
In case the Republican executive disre-
CARDS the action Of the court as was
done in the case, Alonzo Walker habeas
corpus Weyland, the injunction against
interference with the legislature, the.
Democrats will not press the proceed
ings for contempt, but. will take the
case to the court of appeals, which, ac-
cording to their contention, is the court
Of last resort in these proceedings.
This plan was decided upon at con-
ference of Democratic leaders including
Governor Beckham, Congressman D.
81. Smith, Ex-Governor McCreary and
Judge w. S. Pryor, and several other
lawyers; .5}$ Il -:s. ..-. -.,. 49, ..t.,
Pending the result of this suit and the
case before Judge Taft at Cincinnati,
involving the minor state offices, it is
expected both sides will allow things to
remain as they stand. The Democratic
legislature will remain in Louisville and
it is believed the court of appeals will
sit here instead Of Frankfort as long as
there are any soldiers or armed men
about the state buildings at the capital.
The assembly is proceeding with 1egisla-
tive business. The senate passed the
concurrent resolution which had already
passed the house for the committee to
investigate conditions at Frankfort.

Modern Weapons Have Made Useless Old
.-l :,t Theories of War. 49, 4 ..
LONDON, Feb. 14.-Julian Ralph, in a
letter to The Daily Mail from Modder
river, says the British defeats at the
hands of the Beers are due to the fact
that the methods. of modern warfare
have been brought to a pause by the
demonstrated power of the weapons of
today. The essential qualities of the
army 20 years ago are no longer the su-
preme necessities of success. The man
behind the gun stands more su-
preme than ever. He digs a trench,
lines it with good shots, supported by
modern artillery, and no enemy can ad-
vance in the face Of them. They may
be outfanked or starved, but while their
ammunition holds out none can GUST
them, for they can fillawhole plain over
a radius of at least 4, 900 yards with such
q whitening blast Of shrapnel and rifle
bullets that no troops can stand in the
open before it.
