PECULIAR SITUATION OF LIouoF
TRAFFIC IN Iowa.

PECULIAR SITUATION OF LIQUOR
TRAFFIC IN Iowa.
The Supreme Court OF Iowa hai
ordered stay of proceedings under il
recent decision declaring that saloons
can no longer transact business under
the former mulct law of that State. This
order was issued on a motion for a
rehearlng ofthe case, which was granted
and the date for the argument was fixed
for May, when the next term of the
court will! open- AS soon as the stay
was announced ali saloons in the State
reopened their doors to the delight of
thirsty nultitudes in all the saloon
towns.
The decision was founded on such
CURIOUS rule oflaw that it forms notable
precedent-Iowa has an ironclad pro.
hibitory law, the validity of which has
been sustained by the highest court.
But some years ago the mulct law was
passed. 1t provided that all penalties
under the prohibitorV laws should be
suspended and waived in case consent
petitions could be secured. A consent
petition had to be signed by neighboring
property owners, approved by the city
council or town village authorities and
accompanied by bonds with various
restrictive provisions. Under this law
saloons were established in two thirds
of the counties OF the State.
But in 1897 a revised code flaws went
into effect IN Iowa. Ths code was
adopted by the legislature in that wear,
The "mulct" law changed in some
respects. The recent decision was TO |
the effect that all saloon consents OBJ
tanned under the original ''mulct" law
expired when it was repealed, and a
new law was enacted in its place. If
saloons continued business it must be
under new consents, as provided in the
revised code.
Here is where the new principle of
law was declared. The court held that
no vested rights accrued under the old
consents. The established policy OF
Iowa was prohibition. The old "muIct"
law merely made exceptions in cases
where consents were obtained. It was
at the option Of the State to abolish all
privileges by repeating the former law
and enacting another in its place.
This is a curious conclusion. Laws
are to be construed under the "policy
oi the State" in certain respect-not
in accordance with their plain and
evident language. Vested rights do not
accrue under one statute If the "policy

Things We Should Know.
"HALL COLUMBIA.

When, in 1889, war seemed inevita ole
with France, a young man OF fine vocal
talents waited on his old school friend.
Hon. Joseph HOpkinson Of Philadelphia
and asked him to write a song for him
to sing in the theatre tor bis own benefit.
England and France we're embroiled in
a quarrel, and the outlook in this coun-
try was serious, as the Americans we're
divided in their sympathIes.
The song was hit" Its sentiments
appealed to the patriotism of both
parties, and as il made no alIusiOn to the
prevailing hostilities, it allayed strife
and united all Americans in love for
their common land. 1t was sung to the
tune OF The Presidents March," ac.
comDanied by full band and grand
chorus.
1t was encOred and repeated eight
times, the audience at last joining in
the chorus, The words were immedi-
ately caught up and repeated in all parts
OF the city and throughout the country.
1t was sung at night in the streets by
large assemblies, including members OF
NSSs - WsAo Gal Nla AldhAUk SOnRs
The Presidents March, to which il
was sung, vas composed by 1 German
music teacher Philip Roth, in honor of
General Washington, then living in
Philadelphia. DIR. Hopkinson also pre-
sented Gen. Washingto ton with a copy OF |
his poem, which was duly acknowledged
with thanks in a complimentary letter.

A Young Peoples Meeting.

At the Olive street Baptist
Church for over two weeks the pas
tor has been conducting revival
services.
These meetings we're to have
closed last night but great num-
ber of young people and children
urged that the meetings continue.
Many who so urgently insisted are
unsaved and did not want the meet
ings to close until they we're saved.
The pastor gladly responds to
their request and will conduct "a
Young Peoples Meeting" this week.
He earnestly desires the co-opera'
tion of the young people of the
city. Those who can sing to help in
this way, Those who pray and will
do personal work to help in that
way.
What a great work could be done
by the Christian young people OF
the city If they would rally to the
help of the Lord against the mighty.
Ones heart cannot but be touched
when he sees SO many young people
of the city travelling in the "way
that seemeth right unto man; but
the end thereof are the ways OF
death"
Let this be time when Gods
young people shall march as one
mighty army against the foe.

RUN DOWN AND KILLED.
A Negro Man Twenty-Five Years Old
Was Cut Up by an Iron Mountain
Passenger Train,

Yesterday as No. 81 Texas Ex-
press on the Iron Mountain, due
here at $40 a. M, was whipping
around the curves in the vicinity of
Homan, a negro man about 22
years old was walking the track
travelling toward TeXarkana. The
engineer, when nearing the negro,
blew his whistle and expected to
see him step off the track, but he
kept on, oblivious to.the train and
had started to cross a cattle guard
when the train run him down. The
pilot caught the snegroe's clothing
in some manner and held him,
pounding the body along the cross
tie ends and coble stones which bal
lasts the road at the place where
the negro was struck, The train
run a good quarter of a mile before
it could be stopped. The body,
what was left of it, was cut up in a
shocking manner, a foot, hand
and half of the head missing The
train men went back and picked up
the pieces and disentangled the
clothing from the pilot, layed the
remains on the ground and pro-
ceeded to Texarkana. During the
day a woman living on a Red river
farm, came to view the body and
recognized it as that of her son.
She said the young man was on his
way to get married to a colored
girl near Texarkana, the wedding
to come off on Tuesday.

TRIP TO SHREVEPORT,

Every once in a while man takes
it in his head to act foolish, and
yesterday the reporter had fool
ish fit, and with about two hun
dred more fitifed people, left over
the 7. S. l. N. road for Shreveport.
Many went down to just be going
and others to play ball, and few
to see the town. Just what this
reporter went for is mystery to
him, as he had promised himself on
divers occasions to not do it again.
The train pulled out at 8 o'clock
in the morning with three coaches
and combination car, and made
the run by 11:3O. The crowd scat
tered over the city and after din
ner many took the cars for the
base ball park to see the game,
while others took the steamboat
Ruby and went down the river on a
boat ride. The reporter went out
to the game.
To start out, we wish to say that
Captain Chic had some misunder-
standing with two of his best play
ers-Edmunds and Devln-just
what, we did not learn, but they
failed to show up at the train, and
this was deplored by those who had
placed their money on the home
team winning the game, for with
these two men out of the nine it is
about as weak as sucking babe.
Captain Chic found substitutes in
a Beaumont man and young Win
field, and they both pitched fair
ball, but it got them nothing, as
the Sports were too many for them
on the ball ground. The umpires
were changed three times on pro-
tests from the ball players and
spectators on account of unfair de-
clsions. When the game was over
Shreveport had 10 runs and Tex
arkana two. The game was closed
Just before o'cIock-train leaving
time-and a rush was made for the
cars to get to the depot in time to
catch the train. Many made it by
running and many were left in
Shreveport because they could not
get there in time. Conductor
! Crouch pulled out his train, some
where near the "dot" and the boys
on the rear platform, in order to
stop the train to let those belated,
who were chasing the train up the
track, get on, put the air on the
train several and divers times, and
when the conductor caught them
at it, there was a passage of words
as to who was running the train.
The train arrived at the union
depot at 9:25, and the coaches were
soon emptied by delighted crowd,
that the days outing was all over,
even the shouting.
