UNCONSTITUTIONAL
So Decides Judge Shissler About
the Peddler Law.
He Cells ii ImpracticabIe from Beginning
to End, end Discharges the Pris.
oner, Richardson.

Judge Shissler Monday afternoon dis
charged the peddler, Thomas Richard
son, from custody, at the same time
declaring the state peddlers' license
law unconstitutional
When the case was called at two
o. clock W. r.. Geddes, attorney for
! the defendant, moved that it be dis
missed on the ground that the law is
unconstitutional, because it makes an
absolute distinction between people
engaged in the same line of business
because it is against public policy,
not distinguishing between goods that
have been assessed and those that have
not; and because it is imperative,
having no time limit, no amount is
designated to be charged, and no pro-
vision is made as to how to issue Ii
censes. Mr.. Geddes said that he had
never examined law that evidenced
so much legislative stupidity and IN
reasonableness as this.
Jay Henry Long, who assisted
County Attorney Wilson in the case as
the representative of the Merchants
Protective association, argued the case
for the state. He held that the law is
constitutional, that it makes no dis
tinction of persons, is not against pub
lie policy, and can be put into effect
by the city recorder issuing licenses
for nominal fees 1t had stood the test
of the judiciary committee of the leg
islature.
Judge Shissler said that the law is a
state ordinance, as it takes the place
of city and village ordinances. He
said that its provisions are very curl
GUS. 1t provides that persons who
come from outside to sell goods for
limited time or period shall be re-
quired to take out license, the
amount of the charge being left blank
in the law. Who could say what was
limited time or period? How was
the amount to be charged to be deter
mined2 Perhaps it was intended that
the council should investigate each
application and fix the amount in each
case, which would ..necessitate special
meetings. A law cannot be taken from
or added to. If no amount is stated in
the law, then no amount can be
charged-not even a nominal sum.
| The law must fix a maximum and
minimum.
Judge Shissler said that there is no
intelligence in the law, that it is i'm
practicable if not void on the face of
it. How such law ever passed the
sound sense and judgment of the legis-
| lature he could not see. This law caps
! the climax of all futile laws ever
passed by the legislature. 1t is full of
impracticability from the first line to
the last. He believed it to be void and
unconstitutional, and would so hold.
Judge Shissler then discharged Rich
ardson from custody.
The prosecution of Richardson has
resulted in the city peddler's ordinance
and the state peddlers' law being de-
clared unconstitutional and peddlers
now have the right to peddle all they
want to without licenses.

NEW RIFLE RANGE.
Gen. Libby Has Let Contracts for Work
at LakeyieW.

Local National Guardsmen will be
interested in the improvements that
have been ordered for Camp Lakeview
and which will be all in shape before
the encampment next year. AS here
tofore noted Adjt. Gen. E. D. Libbey
was in Lake City last week, where he
let the contract for new rifle range
and new officers mess house on the
state military reservation. The con-
tracts were let to Mayor y. E. White
of Lake City.
The work on the new rife range
will be commenced at once, as Gen.
Libbey has found that the work can
be done cheaper this fall than next
spring on account of the condition of
the soil.
The present 5OO-vard rife range
will not be abandoned, as at first con-
templated. The last legislature passed
a special enactment providing for the
condemnation and purchase of thirty
eight acres adjoining the present
range Gen. Libbey has decided that
the purchase of land is an unnecessary
expense, and the new range will be
built entirely on land now owned by
the state. The targets for the 1000
yard range will be placed against the
tallest bluff at the lowest end of the
reservation, and the new range will
cross the old at an angle.
The extreme range elevation is to be
placed on the regimental drill ground
nearly opposite the new headquarters
building. The land selected affords
all of the natural elevations required
which will obviate the expense of con-
structing markman's mounds at 600,
800 and 1000 yards, as would have
been necessary if new land had bee n
purchased.
The new officers mess house will be
80 by 80 feet, one story, with verandas
10 by 30 feet in front and rear The
interior will be divided into dining
hall Is by 80 feet, an officers room,
which may be used as a club room, ID
by 20 feet, and kitchen - by IA
feet The building will be erected over
the edge of the steep lake bank, and
will have fine storage basement.
Next spring the present mess house
will be remodeled. The front will &C
commodate quartermaster' stores, and
the rear will be converted into bath
room for the men of the infantry Or
CARNATIONS. The plans now under
consideration contemplate = the in
stallation of thirty-fve showers.

PLENTY OF TESTIMONY.
Sheriff Mcmillan Confident the Tapke's
Will be Convicted.
Minneapolis Tribune

1ilDuhO
Sheriff John Mcmillan, st. Peter,
and Detective Thomas J. Coleman,
Minneapolis, who have accomplished
wonders in the manner in which they
have been running down clues in the
Wellner murder case, which is the
main topic of interest in Nicollet
county at present, were busy in the
twin cities yesterday.
The two officers came from st.
Peter Friday expecting to trace every
clue to its source. They are working
under the orders of County Attorney
G. r. Davis. Saturday they visited
several towns in the vicinity of Min
neapolis in the general expectation of
securing new evidence, but in this
they we're not disappointed.
c. R Davis, county attorney, was
formerly state senator, and is widely
known in his part of the state, and
the push and energy which he is dis
playing in the present case has won
the confidence of his constituents.
He.is ALREADY mapping out the case,
and the sheriff and Detective Coleman
who are working under his orders,
are securing ample evidence. They
have no hesitation in expressing the
belief that they will convict the pair
under arrest, after the showing made
at the preliminary hearing and the
evidence since unearthed.
To the Tribune the officers stated
they would be able to prove the where.
abouts of Tanke on the night on which
John Wellner was killed. They say
they can show at what time Tanke left
the Wellner farm, when he arrived al
Klossner station, the time he left the
NJ & st. L. train at New Ulm, the
time he left this city to return to the
farm after midnight, and the time
he arrived at New Ulm on the same
morning.
They also claim they can prove that
Tanke rode Wellner's mare, Fannie,
to Klossner station, where he took the
train.
The sheriff and detective will re-
turn to st. Peter today or tomorrow.
For the next month they will be busy
securing evidence to lay before tine
grand jury, which meets Nov. 26.

Feeding by Absorption.
Iontg emery Advertiser :

Montg emery Advertiser:
We do not take at all kindly to the
prediction that the time may come
when man will not be required to eat,
but that the necessary sustenance will
be prepared in form of a plaster to be
stuck on some part of the body, thus
feeding him by absorption. We are
not stuck on plasters, though we've
had them stuck on us, and do not be-
lieve a man could relish has dinner
when he has to take it in that way.
What would be the good of an ap-
petite, or palate, or a stomach2
Come to think of it. it might be good
thing for those unfortunates whose
stomachs have been dissected from
them, but man who enjoys some
thing good to eat would find little
comfort in having his dinner stuck on
his. breast bone or the back of his neck.
And if human beings can be fed in
that way, why may they not imbibe
their liquid refreshments in the same
style? Then the druggist, instead of
the saloon man would set up the drinks
and apply them where they would do
the most good, and so far as enjoy
ment is concerned, one pr obably
couldn't tell the difference between a
mint julep and stale beer. Perhaps
the innovation may also extend to ice
cream, soda water and lemonade. In
fact, there's no limit to the possibili-
ties of the theory and we want none of

An Inquest Over His Remains Not Deem.
ed Necessary,

on North Front street at 8 80 % clock

facts being so plain and undisputed.
