IN BAD CONDITION.
An EIdon Bartender Gives Up Task
of Drinking ottumwa's Booze.

of Drinking ottumwa's Booze.
From Tuesdays Daily.
The shakiest looking individual who
has faced Police Judge Hall for a
long time, was man who gave his oc-
cupation as that of bartender and
his place of residence as Eldon; he
was before the bar Of justice this NOR
ming. The man intimated that he
got tired of Eldon knockout drops and
that he came to Ottumwa for the pur-
pose of drinking all the booze the city
contained. He had been at it for a
week, he said, and was now ready to
give up the task as hopeless under
taking.
The judge assured him that he had
decided wisely, and between smiles of
satisfaction and pleasure at the kindly
look on the judges face. the bartender
shivered, and rubbed imaginary Span
ISL needles or caterpillars from his
left trousers leg.
Mr.. Hall told the man to go straight
home, to sober up, and to try and give
up drinking everything in sight, and
the poor fellow said he would. He
gave his name to the desk sergeant as
W. McCauley.

CAUSED BY GASOLINE.
Fire at Abba Last Evening Destroys
Business House.

Business House.
Alba, Dec. Especial -Fire last
might about $3.50 o'clock completely
destroyed the stock of the Eureka
chop house as well as cutting the bull
ding. Morgan and Cameron were
the proprietors> of the chop house. Mr..
Cameron was working in the rear part
of the room cleaning some spots from
his trousers with gasoline. He was fill
ing cup with gasoline from five gal
Ion can, when --4e can slipped from
his fingers and the gasoline ran out
onto the floor and over to a gasoline
stove. There the fluid caught fire and
rapidly spread to the can when fear
flu explosion occurred and the flames
flew from both ends of the building.
When Camerson saw the gasoline ig-
mite he ran from the building and got
out just as the explosion occurred.
The stock of the Pill & Flanders chop
house next door was badly damaged
| by water, and in being carried from
the room. Mr.. Thomas owns the bull
dings and carries insurance of $1,000
on each building. The owners of the
chop house stock had insurance of
$500 but the policy was destroyed in
the fire. Where the fire occurred is
just across from the new Monroe ho-
tel. Had the wind been stronger from
the west nothing could have saved the
hotel from burning, as the fire engine
refused to work satisfactorily and it
was half an hour before a stream of
water was thrown onto the flames.

text of it is not published. / thought
that the publication OF the proposed
amendment, in full, must have been
given at the time it came from the
senate to .-4e house, but by referring
to Tie index l find that there is moth
ing to show that this was done. That
being the case, and if there has been
no actual recording of the resolution
adopted, other than by title, in the
original journal, it is void, in my opin-
ion"
r. RemIey Says it is Void.
In view of the holding of the Iowa
supreme court in the prohibitory
amendment case, l am at present of
the opinion that the defect in the rec
ord of the passage of the biennial cleo
ton amendment resolution is vital
Attorney General Remley.
Des Moines, Dec. 5.--A defect in the
record of the biennial election amend
ment resolution on it's passage thru
the house of the twerty-seventh gen
|eral assembly has apparently invali-
dated the amendment so that the peo-
pie of Iowa will have annual elections
for four more years at least. Attor.
neys who have given the matter at
tenuon are of the opinion as the facts
are now presented that the amend
ment has not been adopted in the
manner prescribed by the constitu-
ton. The question involved is a new
one and while the expressions of opin-
ion by attorneys are guarded they all
incline to this view of the situation.
The constitution requires that reso-
lutions embodying amendments to the
constitution for submission to popular
vote must upon passage by the two
houses OF the legislature be spread in
fun upon the journal of each house in
connection with the vote thereon. In
the case of the Titus amendment the
house journal of the twenty-seventh
general assembly contains no record
of the resolution except by title. 1t
is nowhere spread upon the journal in
full.
RemIey's Opinion.
Attorney General Remley was asked
regaralng the .uuest tangle in the Tt
tus amendment. He said
II have been familiar with the point
now raised for some days, but have
said nothing about it. l am at pres.
ent of the opinion that in view of the
holding of the Iowa supreme court in
the case of koehler and LANCE VS..
Hin, the prohibitory amendment case,
the record in the case of the Titus
amendment is vitality defective. In
this case in question it was held, as l
understand it,thaI every step prescrib-
| ed by the constitution looking to the
adoption of a. constitutional amend
ment must .e fully complied with in
order to make the amenument effect
i've.
Il have not read the opinion of the
supreme court in the case of Koehler
VS.. Hill for several years and would
not give definite opinion as to the
validity of The Titus amendment at
this time. My present view, however,
is that Inc amendment was not prop
erly adopted. 1t is, of course, barely
possible that a careful reading of the
earlier opinion will lead to different
conclusion.
