1t is Roughly estimated at the audi
tors office that the legislative session
this year, including salaries of of MEM
bers and employees, printing, and all
charges properly to be made to chat
account, cost about Sl35, 900. This is a
little more than the session of two
years ago. because the late session was
a few days longer, covering eighty
eight days.

MOELCHEN Is FREE.
Governor Shaw issues a Life Parole to q
Murderer.

Governor Shaw issues Life Parole to
Murderer.
DEs MONIES, April 12.-For the first
time in the history of Iowa the gov
ernor has paroled life prisoner. This
action was taken in the case of Cor
nelius Moclchen, whose pardon or pa
role was granted by the Legislature
this winter. The terms of the parole
were made out and sent to the proper
authorities, and when accepted by the
prisoner he will be liberated from An
amosa, where he has served long
term of years. In several cases in the
past, where the offense was less than
that which calls for life imprisonment
the sentences of prisoners have been
suspended, but this case is the first of
its kind. Murderers have either been
unequivocally pardoned or kept in
prison. Governor Shaw is an advocate
of the parole system, and recommended
it's adoption in Iowa in his biennial
message this year. The course which
the governor has adopted with Cornell
Jus Moelchen is taken as an indication
of his future policy in inaugurating
the parole system in Iowa gradually.

PRELATE'S WILL IN DISPUTE.
Brother OF Archbishop Hennessy At
tacks Document Now on File.

Brother OF Archbishop Hennessy At
lacks Document Now on File,
DUBUQUE, April 13.-lt is probable
that the will of the late bishop
IIennesy will be contested in the
courts if the action of the prelate's
brother, Michael J. lIennessy is any
indication of his intentions. Mr.. Hen
messy has filed a petition to have the
document now on file declared null and
void. In the petition it is alleged that
the will attacked is not the testators
last one, and that there are two new
ones, one disposing of the church prop
erty and the other of the archbishops
private estate. These bear date of
January II. The new wills have the
same witnesses as the first, also many
erasures and lnterlineations. The doc
uments are in the possession of Mr..
Hennessy's attorney. who, however,
declines to make public their provis-
ions.

CALLS OFFICERS STUPID.
OutIook's View of Trouble In the English
ARMY.

Outlook View of Trouble In the English
Army.
LONDON, April 16.-The unsatisfac-
tory turn that has recently marked
the campaign against the Beers is re-
sulting in astonishing and sweeping
criticisms by the English papers of
their own army methods. When Butler
strnok snags in Natal, when General
Methuen and General Gatacre made
terrible mistakes, and before the Brit
ish arms had secured any progress a
somewhat similar wave swept over the
press. But then it was directed at in
divlduals and chiefly confined to papers
which were willing to condescend to
slang" one or several generals. Now
names are not mentioned, but there is
widespread, deeply-rooted conviction
that the method of selection of British
army officers is altogether wrong.
About this conviction there is no Bit
ternesS, nor is it based upon conclus-
ions rapidly arrived at. Our officers"
says the conservative, common-sePse
Lookout, ARE as brave as lions, buU IS
a rule they are stupid" Vanity Fa;-,
which formerly denounced vigorously
any forms of criticisms, admits sorrow
fully that Our officers seem to play at
war rather than to carry on war. 1t
Us all wrong"

TURKEY DOESN'T PAY.
Therefore What Is the United States
Going to Do About 1t?

Therefore What Is the United States
Going to Do About 1t:
WASHINGTON, April 16.-Itis learned
on undoubted authority that the nego-
tiations for the payment of indemnity
for the destruction of American mis-
sionary property in Turkey during the
Armenian massacres in 1895 have
reached their logical conclusion. Min
lister Strauss secured the promise of
the sultan that indemnity amounting
to about 800, 900 would be paid, and
that promise having been twice re-
newed, the last time previous to Min
lister Strauss departure from Con-
stantinople, it was understood by the
minister, as well as by the state de-
partment, that payment would be
Forthcoming. Sixteen months have
passed since the promise was made,
and it has not yet been fulfilled, and
the question presents itself, what
action will this government take to
enforce its observance? Meanwhile,
the president has refused to accept the
resignation of Minister Strauss and
has indefinitely extended his leave of
absence.

Beers Enter Protest.

LONDON, April LIT is learned that
the Boer governments have formally
notified Portugal that they consider
the shipping of British troops and mu-
nitions of war to Rhodesia, by way of
Biera, Portuguese, East Africa, to be
tantamount to hostile action. This,
however, will not stop General Car
rington's force from entering Rhodesia.
Whether or not the Beers will make
reprisals upon Portugal remains to be
seen, although the best informed peo-
Pile here are inclined to the belief that
the Beers are not likely to back up
their protest with action that would
bring them into hostilities with still
another power

TAX DODGERS CAUGHT.

city Council OF Rolfe Brings Them to
Time.
Fort DoDeE, April 15.-As the result
of a determined stand on the part OF
the board of equalization of Rolfe, the
total assessment of moneys and credits
of it's citizens has been raised 500, 900,
and many prominent business men OF
the town stand in bad light with the
tax paying public. 1t had been an
open secret that certain citizens were
not giving in complete list of their
personal property, some, in fact, prac-
tically evading taxation altogether.
The city council, in the capacity OF
board of equalization, raised the esti-
mates Of the city and experienced in
tense opposition from those affected.
Lawyers were hired by both town and
citizens and an investigation resulted
in the unearthing of large amounts of
personality not given in, showing that
the county has been victimized for
years. AS an example, Robert Bruce
was raised $1,000; d. Ferguson & Son,
from So, 5000 to SIC, 900 on moneys and
credits: C. A. Grant & Son, $4,000; Il.
+. MAJ lin, 81, 900; w. I. McEwen, $780,
600; c. f. Follesrude, $4,000, and
Pocahontas Land e Loan Company,
from S37, 900 to $500, 900. The total
amount increased in this town of 400
is SG43, 600.

COL. PLUMER WOUNDED.
Many Officers Injured In a Hard Fight
the Environs of Mafeking.

Many Officers Injured In Hard Fight in
the Environs of Mafeking.
GABERoNEs, April 3.--Saturday's
fight in the environs of Mafel>ing was
conducted on Col Plumers side under
great difficulties, being in the prox-
unity of the Boer lager, whence rein
forcements could be promptly sent to
the burghers, and there was little
cover available for the British when
the fight began, the plain being but
sparcely wooded, and the railroad en-
bankment, the chief protection, being
only two feet high. The men behaved
gallantly and officers were excep-
tionally conspicuous in the affair.
With the exception of a few rounds
fred by the British Maxim gun at
Ramathlabama, the fire on both sides
was entirely by rifles. Half of the
iously wounded. Colonel Plumer's
wound was in his right arm. His
horse was shot under him. Colonel
Bodle and Capt Rolf were wounded.
Colonel Plumer's orderly is missing.
Captain Fred Crewe was shot dead
while covering the retreat of others.
Captain MacLaren was severely
wounded and Lieutenant Milligan, the
famous Yorkshire cricketer, fatally,
while tenaciously holding an assigned
position.
LADYsMTH, April 1.-THE Beers
opened fire yesterday, sending shells
into the British camp at Elandslaagte
from three directions, widely separated.
The shells did NO damage. Troops
moved out to reconnoiter and found
the Beers in strong force and well
fortified. A naval Al inch gun replied
to the Beers, who again placed their
Long Tom in position.
ALIwAL NORTH, April 1.-The Brit
ish loss in the fighting at Wepener
Tuesday was eleven killed and forty
one wounded. The fighting was re-
sumed to-day. The British are hold
ing their own well.
ALIwAL North, April 1.-THE colon
ial troops are still holding their own
splendidly at Wepener. Cannonading
recommended this morning. The Boer
attack yesterday was not 7ery serious.
The British are carefully outstanding
their ammunition and their guns are
making excellent practice. The Beers
are short of ammunition.

Governor Positively Declines to Enter the
Race for the Vice-PresIdency.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-Governor
Roosevelt SHES at the vice-presidency,
which President Mckinley is so anx-
ious he shall take. The president
called up the governor on the long
distance telephone and had talk
with him about second place on the
ticket. The result was not encourag-
ing. Governor Roosevelt told the
president he did not want to be vice
president, and would not have the
nomination under any circumstances.
He used very strong language in ex-
pressing his unwillingness to be forced
into an office which he doesn't want
rather stronger, it is reported, than the
rules of the telephone company permit.
For instance, he said his mind was
made up, and that all hades could not
change it. President Mckinley urged
the governor to reconsider, said the
party needed his services, that it was
his duty to sacrifice his personal incli-
nations, ETC., but Mr.. Roosevelt refused
to capitulate.

Mckinley Wants tho New Yorker on
National Ticket with Him.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-Theodore
Roosevelt is in danger of being drafted
into the service of the national repub.
lican party as a candidate for vice.
president on the ticket with President
Mckinley. Governor Roosevelt is not
willing to take this nomination and
has made his wishes known in an un.
mistakeable manner. He says he
wants to be reelected as governor Of
New York. But President Mckinley
wants Roosevelt on the ticket and is in.
clined to insist that the governor yield
his political preferences for the good
of the party at large. There was dis
cussion of this matter at the cabinet
meeting yesterday, and as Senator
Hanna has just returned from New
York, where he had a conference with
ex-Secretary Bliss, it was understood
he had reported Mr.. Bliss unwilling to
take the vice presidential nomination
and advising that Governor Roosevelt
be pressed into service. 1t cannot be
said with truth that the question is ir-
revocably decided, but present appear
ances are that President Mckinley will
personally urge Governor Roosevelt to
take the second place on the ticket
and almost refuse to accept declination
for an answer. Either this or the
Philadelphia convention will be given
the tip to go ahead and nominate
Roosevelt, despite the governors de-
claration of unwillingness. Those
who advocate this course say Governor
Roosevelt is too good party man to
refuse to respond to such a call, and
that he will accept and take the
stump.

Governor Asked Not to Sign Valued Pol
icy Measure.
Dies MONIES, April l3.--Governor
Shaw yesterday listened to insurance
men arguing against the valued policy
law. Having passed the legislature,
the measure now awaits only the exc
cutive signature to become law, and
the insurance men are urging that it
be vetoed. Fully a score of insurance
men or lawyers occupied the govern
or's private Office during the three
hours devoted to the hearing. The
advocates of the controvered bill were
represented only by Senator II. ii.
Brighten of Fairfield. At the con-
cl,Ision of the hearing, Mr.. Brighton
expressed the opinion that nothing
whatever had been brought out to
warrant the governor in vetoing the
bill. He said was rather surprised at
the weakness of the case made by SO
many strong men, who, as matter of
fact, did not present so strong show
ing as they made before the commit
tees and on the floor of the senate.
