THE.QUEsTIoN OF JURIEs.
IlSeokuk Gate City.
IT is quite probable that the voters Of
Iowa, at the coming election In Noveln-
Der. Will adopt the constitutional
amendment submitted by the legisla-
ture for biennial elections. While sew
eral points lave been raised relative to
the effect of this law in certain quar-
tiers. 4 new one of special Importance
has been discovered by Auditor Har-
grave. or Marshall county. Some keo-
kuk lawyers asked about ii by the Gate
City are of he opinion that the auditor
is right. and that there will be trouble
about juries next Year.
is Of the opinion, and the wording
offthe section in thecode relative to the
same bears him out in his views, that
the courts of this and other counties
Mill find themselves with no juries,
neither grand nor petit unless some
special provision is made or some loop
mole found by which the defect can be
renledied. The question arose in Audi
tor Hargraveis mind in the course of
his duties in making the jury appor-
tianment.
Under the present law the talesmen
for jury duty arcselscted by the judges
of election in each of the townships or
voting precincts of the county Each
Year 500 narnesgare5 selected from among
the voters and kept in the tin rccepta-
cle in the office OF the clerk of the
courts, and from these names the jhrors
are drawn prior 10 each term of court.
1t is the duty of the auditor to appor-
:tion these 500 names among the Narlous
voting precincts, and the judges of cleo
stion are required to send in the num-
ber apportianed To their precinct. II
the amendment for biennial elections is
adopted, there will be no elections in
1901 and consequently no election
boards to make selection of these
names. AS no provision is. made fol-

One Of the legal lights in keelluk who
has the most interest in the question OF

he thought the solution of the problem
would be found IN an actsof The legisla-

He said that the election o.. this fall
will furnish jury names TO last to Jan.

idea is that special session To Attend

LADY WAS sDISII4LUSIONED.
LDes Names Capitall
a good story is going the rounds
among the officials aud assistants in
the different departments Of the fair
which is decidedly embarrassing to a
lady official In charge Of one Of the ex-
8hibits wha, While still good enough
looking to be all object of admiration, is
quite old enough TO know. Monday
evening after the exhibit over which
4 she presides forEthe day was clos ed, she
accompanied party of friends among
the other officials and helpers on ii tour
of the side shows and was seemingly
enjoying herself hugely. She felt in
such exhuberaiit spirits that sha con-
tided laughingly in some of her friends
that she had made sreat mash. She
declared with some degree of pride that
he was prominent thurman from
Louisville who had come to enter sew

story vas readily believed by he. conf
peatedly thruout the evening on her
that they would be permitted to meet
he, friend some time and she promised
them that she would introduce him be-
fore the end of the week.
The opportunity came earlier than
she expected. She ran across her new
acquaintance inS the srandstand when
they went to view the fireworks. He
WAS attired in fashionable summer
outfit and really looked quite swell" in
the estimation OF the ladies of the
party .But the gentlemen exchanged
significant chances with each other as
they were in turn made acquainted
with MIR. Harrison. of Louisville
The next afternoon the lady took
lay on" for the afternoon TO visit
the races. She was accompanied by
several of her companions of the eve
ming before and eXultingly remarked TO
them as they took seats in the grand
stand: Now let us keep a sharp look
out over In the quarter stretch and
maybe we will see my new catch
again" They strained their eyes in The
direction of the quarter stretch, but to
no avail. Presently some one came
down the aisle from their rear shout

That voice had a strangely familiar
ring to 1t. 1t drew nearer. 'Scoah
