Polk County Judge Decides Agent Need
Not Account for Liquors.
Des Moines, Feb. 19.-In the district
court Judge Holmes sustained the de-
murrer to the petition of the Noun
tain Distillery company in its suit
against b. F. Parker. The defendant
acted as agent for plaintiff. Plaintiff
claimed he failed to account to It for
about $4,000 worth of goods sent to
him on consignment and for sales
made aggregating $1,000. It sued for
a Judgment for the total amount and
secured the appointment of a receiver
to take possession of the goods in
Parker's possession consigned to him
by it.
Parker demurred to the petition on
the ground that the contract sued on
was against public policy, inasmuch
as it required him to violate the
liquor laws in order to comply with it.
His contention was that an agent can
not carry on business for an employer
under a tax paid by the agent and
that the law requires that the en-
ployer pay a tax for the agent, taking
out the certificate in the employers
iidlHe. he dlAeSeo Jndt IN LnlS case
he carried on the business under a
tax paid by himself sod that the
Mountain Disrillery company never
had complied with the law.
Plaintiff will amend it's petition to
comply with the ruling of the court
and hopes to be able to throw the bur-
den of proof upon Parker and to at
least compel him to prove that he was
a law violator in order to establish
his case.

EDWARD OPENS PARLIAMENT.
Regal Scene Take Place on the Streets
of London.

4AcSdA SCouo Aake6 f1laC0 on Inc StTGetp
London, Feb. 15.-The first parlia-
ment of the reign of King Edward
VII was opened yesterday afternoon
by the king in person. His majesty
was accompanied by Queen Alexan-
dra, the Duke of York and Cornwall
and the Duke of Connaught, and
many others of the royal family.
The last state ceremony of the
kind occurred in 1881, when Queen
Victoria opened parliament accom-
panied by the prince c~onsort, and
since the death Of the latter nothing
equal to the pomp has been wit
messed in London in connection with
the opening of the legislature. Not
since the wedding of the then Prince
OF Wales and Princess Alexandra has
the gorgeous state coach used yes
terday been seen in the streets of tho
capital.
In this coach the king and queen
and Princess Victoria rode from
buckingham palace to the palace of
Westminster, the queen bowling on
all sides to the immense throngs.
AT h palace the great officers of
state and the others who were to
take part in the ceremony had assem-
bled in order to receive their maies-
ties. Upon the king and queen alight-
ing from the state carriage the pro-
cession was quickly formed and pro-
ceeded to the robing room. Later
the king assembled the throne in the
house Of lords, the members of the
commons were received and the king
then read his speech.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 19.-Sunday was
Mrs. Carrie Nations busy day. Start

the head of a band of 500 men and
women, armed with battering rams
and new hatchets, she managed to
throw Topeka into such q futter of
wild excitement as the capital has
rarely experienced.
The record of Mrs. Nation for the
day included the wrecking of a motor

saloon property stored in a livery
stable, breaking into a storage ware
house and destroying saloon fixtures;

storage warehouse. The breaking OF
the lock at this place and destruction

jain Breakers at MASON CITY.

Mason City, Feb. 1s.-Frank BLY, and
James Crolan, two men held in Jail
for Kossuth county, made their es-
cape. They were kept in the upper
row of steel cells of the jail. The
door to the alley in front of the cells
is held shut by a bar of steel. This
is kept in place by a pin, the pin be-
ing inside a steel box. By means of a
wire put through a crack in the box
the pin was forced out. Then the bar
could be removed. When the deputy
sheriff put some coal in the stove the
men stood ready to jump in behind
him, close and lock the door and es-
cape.
These men were caught stealing
butter from a creamery at White

the other knocked him down. They
then carried the officer two blocks,

They were caught near Emmetsburg,
and January 4 were brought here for
keeping.

wefi-s,-do Farmer Suicides.

Winterset, Feb. 16.-Wesley Ford, a
well-to-do farmer living eight miles
wet of Winterset, was found hang
ing dead IN his barn. The family
missed him at breakfast time and sent
to the barn for him, when he was
found hanging TO one of the beams.
He had fastened the rope to a beam
and then stepped off a small box, so
that his feet almost touched the
ground when found. He was an in
dustrious farmer, in good circum-
stances, and a son of I. S. Ford, one
of the oldest settlers in Madison
county. A few weeks ago he had a
eevere attack of the grip, and since
recovering his mind has been affected.
He was jovial and good natured and
did not have an enemy in the world.

Phlllipstown.
London, Feb. 15.-The Evening
News prints a dispatch from Cape
Town dated Thursday, February IA,
which says:
"The government here is advised
that General Christian De Wet and
former President Steyn entered Cape
Colony and occupied Phillipstown.
The British attacked them yesterday
and drove them out of the town with
loss"
A Boer commando crossed the
Orange river in the Phillipstown dis

EXTRA SESSION ASSURED.
President Tells Senators That He "
Call One.

Call One
Washington, Feb. Ao.-The presi-
dent told the senators who called up
on him Saturday that congress would
be called in extra session as soon as
the Cuban constitution was received.
The only apparent object of the
president is to have the Cuban ques-
ton considered, and it is his desire
to have congress share the responsi-
bility Of deciding what steps shall
be taken with reference to Cuba, re-
gardles sof the details of the consti-
tuition. He has not as yet indicated
q time when he should expect CON
gress to meet, and this he is not ex-
pected to do until the Cuban consti-
t%utional convention shall complete it's
work.
The prediction is general that in
case an extra session is called it will
extend we'll into the summer. It is
not believed that it's deliberations
could be confined to Cuba, but that
the Philippine question, the anti
trust bill and the subsidy bill (if that
measure should fail to be disposed
of at the present SESSION. would all
come in for a share of attention.
Many of the leading republican sena-
tors + using their utmost endeav-
ors to avert the call.

ROCK SLAM MAKES IT'S REPORT.
First Il Big Roads to Furnish Statement to
the Executive Council.

Des Moines, Feb. 1s.-The Rock
island Railroad company has made
its report to the executive council
and the report is now on file in the
Office of the secretary, A. II. Dawson.
The Rock Island is the first of the
larger roads to make it's report,
there being eve reports in at this
time, though all should have been fur
pushed by February Is. The delay is
supposed to be caused in part by the
fact the executive council has sent
out blanks this year that provide, not
for estimates, but for accurate re-
turns, verified by oath. The Rock
Islands report shows an increase in
its mileage and earnings over those
reported a year ago. The company
has 1,172.25 miles of track owned,
leased or operated in the state. It's
gross earnings in the state for the
year 1900 were $7,2s4,311.24, and the
gross earnings outside the state were
1924, 279, 3s6.7s. The net earnings in the
state were $2,760,650.ss, and on the
entire system $s,85s, 1865. 09.

WAR WITH RUSSIA
Russia Replies to CountervaiIing
Sugar DUTY.

St. Petersburg, Feb. ISM. De
White, minister of finance, has issued
a decree regarding the application
of the increased tariff to certain i'm
ports from the United States. The
decree is based upon the first para
graph of article 62s of the customs
statute. The measure will become
effective a fortnight after it's pro-
mitigation. M. De White has proved
his ability to hit quick and hard. /.
He was evidently prepared for re-
prisals before Secretary Gage took
final action. M. De White sent to the
senate Wednesday,, for publication,
an ordinance levying 80 per cent in
creased on the most important
American imports into Russia. The
ordinance has been published in the
Official Messenger, and becomes effec-
tive March 1. This action is greatly
regretted in American circles, which
anticipate much harm therefrom.
Well informed Americans do not be-
lieve the supreme court will sustain
the claim that Russia pays a sugar
bounty, directly or Indirectly, and
regard the action taken as hasty,
though not unexpected by those
knowing how M. De White felt on the
matter. !
Washington, Feb. 1s.-It is realized
that a grave crisis has been reached
in the trade relations between the
United States and Russia. The inn
mediate effect of the Russian decree,
when it becomes operative on March
1, will be to increase by so per cent
the duties on American machinery,
steel and iron goods. The articles
referred to in the Russian decree
are machinery and tools of every
kind, manufactures and products OF
cast ron and steel. Roughly stated
the United States is said to have ex.
ported goods of this description to
Russia last year to the amount of
about $30,00O,0O0. The addition of
so per cent to the duty will, it is
thought, prove practically prohibit
tory.

FARMERS ARE vIcTIMIzED.
Sharpers Clean Up One Thousand Dollar
Near

Ottumwa, Feb. 19.-Sharpers have
just cleaned up nearly $1,000 at Keo-
sauqua. The facts have just come to
light. The persons caught are all
well to do farmers and the matter
was unearthed by a number of notes
turning up at one of the banks. Har-
vey Meredith was caught for 500 and
Samuel Warren and John R. Bell for
$3.50 each, and there are several more
whose names have not been made
public.
The men who were victimized were
called upon several days ago by men
travelling through the country with a
wonderful medicine, which they
claimed would cure anything. To Sc
cure the medicine the men had to
sign a contract, which was done, and
the medicine delivered. 1t now trans
pires the contracts were nothing
more than promissory notes. Mere
dith will contest his note, as he
claims it was signed on Sunday and is
not valid. All the others will pay.
There is no clue to the s%harpers.

KRUGER'S EARNEST PLEA
Begs That Some Nation Offer to
Arbitrate.

London, Feb. 16.-The Pail Mall
Gazette will publish. February 1s,
an interview with Mr.. Kruger, in
part, as follows:
"Will no one arbitrate? Will no
one give us a chance of defending
ourselves? We may have done wrong
~; we may have our faults and our
weaknesses. We declared war, but
our hands were forced, and we can
prove 1T. Get some one to Judge be-
tween this England and ourselves.
"But the Lord will help us in the
end. We shall win. I do not know
how or when, but we shall win at
last"
Mr.. Kruger says the t%ransvaal Of
tered more reforms in one week than
an older country would make in forty
years, giving on all points almost to
the uttermost, but that the uttermost
was seized upon as a stumbling block.
Referring to his reception in Europe,
which has bitterly disappointed him,
Mr.. Kruger says: 81 care nothing
for flowers, nothing, nothing. The
people who send them mean well and
l am grateful, but 1 care nothing for
them. What I want is a fair hear
ing. If they will only give us a fair
hearing and justice. l ask for JUS
tice. We r a little folk but we
have made great steps,"
When asked why he came to Eu.
rope, he said to the interviewer: 81
could not go out with the comandoes
as Mr.. Steyn car. I am too old;
but 1 may be of some use here"
Regarding Mrs. Kruger, he said: 1
ann sorry for her, too. I have a deep
sorrow for her, but 1 have far more
sorrow for my country. My wife has
her children. Six are still with her.
They were left with her in her home.
Two of my sons have died on the bat
tlefield; two were captured. 1 believe
two more are dead also, as I have
not heard from them for two months,
and 1 know they were in the thick Of
the fight.
"Thirty-one sons and grandsons I
have in the field, yet I could not go.
en- commando. / have not heard from
my wife for sixteen days, but she has
six children with her, and she is not
to be pitied,"
