President steyn's Address to the the Fre g
state Rasd.
LONDON, April 8. In his speech be-
fore opening the Free State Rad,
President Steyn declared in spite q
the surrender OF Bloemfontein he had
not lost hope in the triumph OF the re-
publican cause. War, he said, was
forced upon the Transvaal and nothing
remained for the Free State but to
throw in its lot with the sister repub-
lies in accordance with the terms OF
the treaty. The war was begun with
the object Of maintaining by arms the
independence bought with the blood
of the forefathers of the nation and
had been SO successful that it caused
the greatest wonder throughout the
world and even to the Beers them
selves. After paying q tribute to the
memory of Joubert, Steyn said the
British, Notwithstanding their over
whelming numbers, were violating the
flag of truce and the red cross, and
that he was compelled to to report the
matter to neutral powers The at
tempt to create dissension among
burghers by issuing a proclamation had
failed, he said.

crowd Immediately. The shot was
fired as the train was leaving the sta,

The would-be assassin is a tinsmith
named Sipido, resident of Brussels,
16 years of age. His pockets were
found to be full of anarchist literature.
When examined by the station offic-
ials, Sipido declared he intended to
kill the Prince of Wales, that he did
not regret his action and that he was
ready to do it again if given chance
to do so. Sipido subsequently said he
wanted to kill the Prince of Wales
''because he caused thousands OF men

MUST GET NEW PERNtITs.

Court Rules Against the Druggists Of
the state. M AZ X 81 H
n DIES MONIES, April 4.--Jndge a. y.
Thornell of the Fremont county dis
trict court holds that all liquor per-
mits held by druggists, Secured prior
to October /, 1897, are revoked by the
adoption Of the new code. In order to
comply with the provisions and revis'
ions OF the law, Judge Thornell holds
that new permits must be secured since
that date by every druggist in Iowa
who sells Intoxicating liquors 1t is
thought that this decision will affect
at least 80 per cent of the registered
pharmacists in the state, as it is esti-
mated that fully that share OF the
Iowa druggists have liquor permits
that were issued prior to October l.,
1897. It was to remedy just this
trouble that a bill was introduced into
the legislature and passed both houses.

Z DIES MONIES, April 3.-Judge Prouty
filed for record his opinion in the con-
tempt proceedings brought against a
number of saloon keepers several
weeks ago by the attorneys for the
temperance forces and J.. D. Laws
The decision is one of the most import
ant that has been rendered in the Polk
county courts in years on account OF
it's far reaching effect. 1t holds that
all injunctions granted against saloon
keepers in Polk county prior to the
enactment of the new code on October

changes in the liquor laws, and. it fol-
lows that every one of about 1000 in
