RREyITIES.

Des Moines dispatch: Howe & Mil
Ter, attorneys for Mark Chiesa, E. Ro-
mani, ]. d. Hagerman and S. Neuder-
man, saloon men cited to appear and
show cause why they should not be
punished for contempt of court, filed
demurrers to the informations that it
is claimed will not only quash these
four cases, which were brought by
representatives of the anti-saIoon peo-
pie, but all the contempt proceedings
instituted by j. ID. Laws and will rem
der imperative about 5000 injunctions
granted prior to 1897. The saloon
men maintain that the law, under
which the old injunctions, those of
1895, were granted, was not re-enacted
and provision was not made in the
new code for the continuance of the
old injun ctions, SO that in reality they
have gone out of existence and no
violation can be charged on their &C
count. They are taking the ground
on which the anti-saloon people fought
when they attacked the old consent
petition granted prior to the enact
ment of the old code and which they
maintained and the supreme court has
held was invalidated by that point.
The liquor men are so confident as
to their position that they propose to
rest on the demurrers and to appeal to
the supreme court in the event that
the lower court holds agaist them.
Persons unknown took 81, ZOO from
the safe Of the Farmers Bank at
Pennington few nights ago. 1t is
stated that the thieves left several
thousand dollars in gold and silver,
taking only paper money. Before
leaving the bank the officers set the
time lock on the safe to open in the
morning. The lock shows no indica-
tions of having been forced, and the
| single door of the bank was locked as
usual, so that the manner of the rob-
| berry is mystery. Suspicious charac-
tiers, who left Pennington suddenly
after the robbery, are being pursued,
but it is not thought they will be cap
tured. No suspicion rests upon the
cashier, as the money was in the bank
] when he left.

THE NEWS In IOWA
A HORROR IN WRIGHT COUNTY.
Aged Ladies Found Dead and Partially

Aged Ladies Found Dead and Partially
Devourcd.
CLARION, March 10.-A horrible
story of the finding of the dead bodies
of two sisters, Mrs. Margaret McH ale,
aged 90, and Mrs. Mary Shelly, aged
so, has just come to light. For mum
Der of years past they have lived to-
gether in small house on relatives
farm south of town. This winter they
became so feeble they were unable to
work, and the neighbors went every
few days to attend them. Recently a
visit was made to the house and the
old ladies were in their ordinary
health. A few days later some one
noticed no signs of life and investi-
gated, and found the bodies lying on
the floor having been dead day or
two. To add to the horror, q cat that
had been left in the house Toasted up
on the remains of both to such an ex-
tent that they were hardly recogniz-
able, the lips, eyes and tongues being
almost totally devoured. The coron-
er's verdict said death came from old
age. 1t is supposed that one died nat
urally, and the shock thus sustained
proved too great for the feeble
strength of the other. The remains
were Inferred in one grave.

PEACE SEEMS POSSIBLE.
Early Cessation of Hostilities Is Not
Improbable.

Early cessation or HOstltltieS Is NOT
Improbable.
LONDON, March 12.-In the absence
of important news from the seat of
war, speculation is rife regarding the
probability of an early peace. Presi-
dent Kruger's appeal to Lord Salisbury
for a cessation of hostilitIes. announced
on Friday, is taken as foreshadowing
that the end will soon be in sight.
The governments views are probably
enunciated in the following semi
official statement, just issued:
1T is understood that the govern
ment does not consider that the time
has yet come for any authoritative
statement as to ultimate terms of
peace, and no member of the cabinet
has authorized any published state
ment on the subject. 1t is, of course,
generally understood among all polit-
zeal parties in this country that, SO far
as the South African republics are con-
cerned, the status quo ante-bellum
cannot remain unaltered after the
close of hostilities. Their part of the
system which involved a large meas
ure of political and military independ-
ence will, of course, be materially
modified as result of the war, but
the growing prospects of restored
peace must be further advanced before
her majesty's government can either
finally formulate proposed terms of
settlement or make any announcement
of their plansr

BRECKINRIDGE EMBEzzLEMENT.

Against Him.


Against Him.
WATERLOO, March 1.-The grand
jury of Black Hawk county is investi-
eating the charges of embezzlement
preferred against A. I. Breckenridge,
late secretary of the Perpetual Build
ing and Loan Association, by the
stockholders of the concern. At
meeting of more than 100 stockholders
it was decided not only to push the
case, but at the same time to continue
the organization of the association re-
gardless of the fact that the amount
embezZled had now assumed large pro-
portions. The report showed that the
total amount of the ENLIGHTENMENT
charged Is sci, 79O.O1 The operations
by which this shortage in the funds of
the association was brought about the
report showed were begun in 1895,
three years after the secretary had
been installed 1t was explained 70
the stockholders that the shortage as
shown on the face of the report would
amount to about II per cent of the
entire stock in force on the installment
plan, but there are bondsmen holden
for Sl2 900, and il these bonds are paid
the actual loss to the members will be

Iowa Central & Western railway, in
which damages were asked for the use
of certain land belonging to Urch

HENNEssEY DEAD.
Archbishop Passed Away at Dubuque
After q Long Illness.


After Long Illness.
DUBUQUE, March 5.-Archbishop
Hennessey died Sunday afternoon,
after an illness which had extended
over period of several weeks. Arch
bishop Hennessey was born in the
county of Lumrack, Ireland in the
fall of the year 1924, and came to
the United States when mere boy.
He was educated in st. Lukes Uni
versity, completing his course in two
seminaries, and came to Dubuque,
Iowa, where after a successful term
in charge of parish he was conse-
created bishop September Is, 1866. He
was elevated to the archepiscopal
dignity September II, 1898, and was
the ruler of the bishoprics centering
in Davenport, Dubuque, Omaha, Lin
coin and Cheyenne, beyond whom the
only appeal was to Rome. Archbishop
Hennessey had thus been a bishop for
thirty-four years, and in all his career
there was no appeal from his decision.
When he was created bishop there
were but twenty-seven priests in Iowa,
and when he died as archbishop there
were 293 priests in the archdiocese
alone, besides 100 in the Davenport
diocese, which was divided from the
Dubuque diocese in in 1881. There
are now in his diocese two academies
and fifty in the archdiocese, 100 paro-
chial schools, with an enrolment Of
$4,000, an orphanage. an industrial
and reform school and two other char
liable institutions.

Property Seized by Madison County On
GERS, who Believe IL Was Stolen.
DIES MONIES, March 9.-The officers
of Madison county, accompanied by
w. S. Brockett, of Runnells, made a
descent on a farm house twenty-six
miles southeast Of Des Moines, former
ly occupied by Frank Daley, the man
arrested for assaulting and robbing
John Cunningham. Their theory was
that Daley has been at the head of an
organized band of thieves and the re-
suit of the search served to confirm the
report. Mr.. Brockett says the house
was literally filed with dry goods,
clothing, hardware, cutlery, harness,
blankets, etc. Much of the plumber
was new goods and was evidently
stolen from merchandise stocks. The
property was taken in charge by the
authorities of Madison county and an
effort is to be made to ascertain the
places from which it was stolen.
Daley is under indictment in Polk
county for the Brockett robbery.

LORD ROBERTs's BOLD MOVE.
Compeis Beers to Abandon Fourteen
Miles of Trenches.

Compeis Beers to Abandon Fourteen
Miles of Trenches.
OsFoNTEIN, March S.-Lord Roberts,
forces attacked early yesterday morn
ing. General French turned the
northern part of the position of the
Beers, who fed, leaving a gun and
large quantities of forage and tents.
He is now in pursuit. The Beers on
the north bank are also evacuating
the position.
LONDON, March s.-Lord Roberts
wired yesterday morning from Osfon-
tein and in the evening from Poplar
Grove, fourteen miles eastward By
an application of the elementary prin-
ciple of strategy, the Boer positions,
fifteen miles long across his path, have
been emptledl and their holders have
been obliged to retreat in confusion
consequent upon hasty withdrawal.
Nothing was done by Lord Roberts to
disturb the symmetry, the deadly in
genuity, of the Boer trenches in front
of him. He marched out infantry es-
timated, from the commands named, at
$1,000 men, and sent 10000 horsemen
and horse artillery in a bold sweep
around the Boer left, whereupon the
Boer center and right became unten-
able. Fifty British Tell when the cav
airy came into contact with the Beers.
The correspondents differ as to the
enemy's strength. The Daily Mails
representative thinks the Beers num-
bered something more than 1000. The
Daily News man estimates them at
10000. AS these fi9ures come from
observers at headquarters, it is clear
that Lord Roberts's force was over
whelmingly superior. He can scarcely
have fewer than $4,000 Immediately

Entire Force. However. Succeeded In

LONDON, March 9.-The Beers appear
to have made no stand whatever, ex-
cept that while in retreat they twice
repulsed General French's cavalry
with rifle fire. AS no report has been
made of the capture of prisoners, the
enemy probably got away with their
entire force. General French is still
following them and keeping between
them and Bloemfontein.
PRETORIA, March 6.-Via Lorenzo
Marquez.-It is officially stated here
that on Sunday last there was heavy
fighting at Dordrecht, that the British
were repulsed with great loss, and that
the federals captured three cannon.
LADYsMITH, March 9.-The Beers are
entrenching at Biggarsberg. The
scouts report that all the Natal Dutch
farmers have fed from the surround
ing country.
The evacuation of the northern dis
tricts of Cape Colony is now nearly
complete. The British are in posses
sion of the railroad crossings. The
Daily News makes the following edi-
toriai comment:
at was rumored in London yester-
day-and we have some reason for
believing the rumor to be correct
that the two republics made informal
and unofficial overtures for peace on
the preceding day. Unfortunately,
the conditions suggested were of such
a character as to preclude the posi-
bility of leading to any result. Terms
which might have been gladly accepted
before the war, in order to avert it,
are impossible after the war, with all
the sacrifices it has entailed."

That the laying Of a cable to Manila
will prove to be good business" be-
sides facilitating the sending of army
news, is shown by the strenuous oppo-
sition recently made to it before the
senate committee on commerce by a
representative Of a British telegraph
Mnpany, which claimed to possess
concessions from Spain giving it ex-
elusive landing rights in the Philip
pines until 1918. OF course there is lit
tie hope of the concessions now stand
ing, in view of the complete transfer of
the Philippines to the United States,

CONFLICT IN KENTUCKY
Arrest of 0oebel's Alleged Murderer
Causes Trouble.

FRANKFORT, March 12.-The rein
statement of the military power in
complete control of the state executive
building and the refusal of the mill
tary authorities to allow the local po-
lice and civil officers to enter the build
Ing for the purpose of arresting Secre-
tary of State Caleb Powers and Captain
John w. Davis, charged with being
accessories to the Goebel assassination,
and the probability of conflict be-
tween the civil and military authori-
ties, made the situation look serious
during most of the day Saturday. At
an early hour the city marshal made
an effort to enter the capitol to make
the arrest. He was prevented by the
soldiers who had been summoned by
Gov. Taylor. The marshal called upon
Sheriff Suter, who likewise tried to
make the arrest and was repulsed. He
then stationed complete line OF
guards around the building, to prevent
the escape of Powers and Davis, and
appealed to Governor Beckham. At
o'clock in the evening squad of SOL
diers rushed from the building and
hurried to a Chesapeake & Ohio train,
which they boarded for Lexington. A
few minutes later it was learned that
Powers and Davis, disguised as soldiers,
were in the squad. The authorities at
Lexington were wired and when the
train reached Lexington it was met by
the entire police force of the city.
Powers and Lieutenant Peake resisted.
Powers was dubbed and Peake arrest
ed, but later released on bond. Powers
and Davis were placed in Jail under
guard of the local militia. On the per-
son of each was found pardon signed
by Governor Taylor. The events of
the day served to show very forcibly
that the state guard as at present or
ganized does not unanimously recog-
nize Taylor as governor. Lieutenant
Sparks refused to muster in the Lon
don company in response to telegram
from Governor Taylor, ordering him
to bring the company here, and the
Lexington companies also refused.

KRUGER MAKES ADVANCES.
Proposes Peace Terms That Are Rejected
by Salisbury.

LONDON, March lot is learned
that the peace rumors were founded
on the fact that President Kruger has
appealed to Lord Salisbury for ces-
sation of hostilities, offering at length
by cable, the terms which he is will
ling to accept. These, however, are
not now taken seriously, as they in
clude practically nothing more than
what the Transvaal government Of
fered prior to the issuing of the Brit
ish ultimatum. Officials here regard
the proposition as merely ruse of the
Beers to gain time and do not consider
that President Kruger is yet ready to
consider the sweeping demands which
Great Britain will make as reimburse
ment for the loss of life and great ex-
penditure. 1t was understood that
President Kruger's advances had met
with an emphatic rejection at the
hands of Lord Salisbury who is be-
lieved TO have said that no attempt to
retain the independence of the Trans
vaal can be considered for a moment
by the British government.

Several members Of the Chicago
board of trade have been indicted by
the federal grand jury for defrauding
country patrons. This is a wholesome
sign. Only few years ago it was es-
teemed a great honor to even possess

that a member could be convicted of
fraud never troubled anybody. Today
members of the board who induce
others to lose money in fictitious trans
actions are prosecuted like ordinary
