the people of the state want 1t enforced,
the only question being whether or not
the courts will sustain the law. If the
Iowa license was only slO0 there is no
doubt it could be enforced.
Governor Shaw is looking very care |
fully into the operation of the valued
policy lawn other states where 1t has
been tried. He has been urged, not
merely by insurance people, but by
business men of the highest standing
who have no interest in insurance COM
panies, to veto the Brighton bill. The
governor will not veto the bill unless
he becomes satisfied that its enforce
ment will result In raising insurance
rates in Iowa. II it is shown that the
toperation OF the law will be against the
Interest of the insured. as: is argued by
ithose who have appeared to urge the
governor to- kill the bill, he has the
necessary courage to veto the bill. II
sl5fe does so he will be well fortified with
Ifacts to sustain his action. He is

severe BLOW TO the Enemy.
q London. April 16.-Important develop
ments are momentnrily looked for in the
neighborhood OF Wepener. where the.
fighting has been extremely severe from
the first. It Is supposed that Lord Rob-
ertg 10 disposing his forces in the hope of
cutting of the retreat but the fact that
eighteen Of the garrison have been
killed and 1872 wounded has brought the
British face to face with the critical ma
sture Of the conflict. Londoners are
anxiously hoping that Lord Roberts re-
lieyinR column may not be! delayed.
The Beers must know that a move
ment Is IN progress to entrap them, but
Commandant Olivier's escape under
particularly adverse circumstances is
supposed to have inspired contempt of
the mobility of the British army. It Will
De remembered that It was a feeling of
that sort that led Gen. Cronje to ignore
considerations OF prudence and involve
4 his commando In insuperable dlfhcul-
& tiles.
The war ONCE closed last night with
s out making public anything from Lord
Roberts to show when the commander
ln chief intends to make his advance.
He appears still to be piling up provts-
ions, gathering horses and marshalins
reinforcements into the Bloemfontein
position, which is intreuched for siege
The heights bristle with guns and there
Is great activity among the troops,
many OF which are marching to un-
known destinations. Lord Roberts is
said to have his scouts exploring the,
country far and wide and he evidently
intends, when he Is ready to move to
know the country in which he is operat-
Ing.
The Third division is still at Redders-
burg and Gen. Chermenside, the new
commander, Is reported to be actively
reconnoitering the enemy's position.
Probably he does not mean to repeat the

The PhiIin'S Case.

Mrs. Phillips, of the Eighth ward,
called at the Register office yesterday
afternoon and requested that her de-
NAL of her daughters charges of cruel
treatment, as heretofore published in
this paper, be reiterated. Mrs. Phillips
again emphatically took exception to
her daughters statements to the HUI
name Society, claiming that she never
ii treated her and that she left home
without cause. She also thought
that Officer Echols ought to have ac-
companied her daughter to her home
and there investigated the case before
admitting her to the Home for Aged
and Friendless Women. Mrs Phillips
thought that he had thus shown an
utter disregard for the mothers side
of the case, and caused disgraceful and
regretful circumstances to arise as far
as her family was concerned. She was
of the opinion that her daughter would
not have remained away had it not
been through the influence of some one.
also through the kindness of the ladies
OF the home, who were mfsinformed of
the case in the beginning. Her daugh-
ter is still confined to the hospital
suffering from nervous prostration. no
doubt brought on by the excitement she
has experienced while away from home.
and, as her mother claims, is willing
to return.
