firmatory of the press report of a

Macarthur request for information.
The answer was received yesterday,
confirming the press reports, as
follows:
''The rumored engagement in Samar,
reported in cablegram of General
Otis, has been confirmed by reports
recently received from Henry fallen,
of the Forty-third infantry, command
ing Samar Island, that a detachment
of thirty-one men stationed at Catubig

ing hemp thrown from the adjoining
church. The detachment attempted
to escape by the river, but the men
getting into boat were killed. The
remaining men intrenched themselves
near the river and held out for two
days longer, facing the most adverse
circumstances, until they were res
cued by Lieut.. Sweeney and ten men.

MULCT LAW DECISION.
Important Decision by Judge Fellows.
or WinneshielS County.

OF Winneshiek County.
DEBORAH, May 20.-,A decision in
an injunction suit has been entered
by Judge Fellows which entirely up
sets all mulct dealers of Winneshiell
county except those of DEBORAH. 1t
grew out of a petition for injunction,
sued for in the case of NJ. i. Hill VS..
Thos. Kane, Il saloonleeper in Ossian.
The attorney for the plaintiff raised
the point that the board of supervis-
ors in canvassing the mulct petition
of consent did not cover one partic-
ular requirement of the law, to-wit,
in canvassing such petitions the SUI
pervisors shall make a finding of the
results in four respects viz: First, in
cities of over 5000 persons; second,
in the county as whole; third, in
the various towns; fourth, in the var
ious townships. There is nothing in
the record to show how many voters
and'signers there were to said petition
in the town of 0ssian. This point raised
new question. Incorporated towns
have an actual existence, as much so
as counties or cities, and are not to be
COMPOUNDED or mixed up with town
ships. When attention was called to
it Judge Fellows felt compelled to
hold the point well taken aud granted
the petition as prayed.

THE NEWS In IOWA
DON'T LIRE THE NEW LAW.


| Building and Loan Associations Will
| Quit Business.
FoRT DODGE, May 19.-Building and
loan companies in the northwestern
part of the state are very much dis
Outraged over the recent passage of a
law which makes profitable business
uncertain under its provisions. Until
companies have deducted all expenses
from the monies paid into the associa-
ton by the members. The new law
designates that per cent shall be the
| legal rate of interest charged and all
assessments and expenses must be
taken from the per cent revenues
only. This will cause radical change
to be made in the present methods Of
conducting their business and already
a number of them have signified their
determination to liquidate and go ont
of business when the new law goes
into effect, which will be June Is.
The Algona Deposit and Loan Associa-
ton is considering the advisability of
ternal insurance company. The bust
ness affairs of the association are in
good condition and it has $40, 600 in its
loan fund. Although test case is
now going on which will be carried 20
the supreme court in hopes of finding
the new law unconstitutional, it has
been considered prudent to provide
against any disappointment. The
Fort Dodge Savings and Loan Associa-
ton has also determined to go into
liquidation at once. With few ex-
captions the companies have been
doing prosperous business and pay
ing heavy dividends. 1t is an open
secret that after deducting the run
ming expenses from the s per cent
basis the margins will be too narrow
to continue without readjusting their

has withdrawn from the race as a

been urging him to accept place of
more activity than he at present en-
joys. This news comes as surprise
to the republican politicians and the

been conceded to Mr.. Dobson and he
would have undoubtedly been re-nom-
mated by reclamation. In January

the Hon. Mr.. Borringer of Palo Alto
county, being a candidate, but he
withdrew and pledged himself to Dob
son, thus removing all opposition.
