TEST INSPECTION Law
National Livestock Association At
tacks Constitutionality Of
Colorado Statute.

Denver, Colo, June 27-Judge Hal
let of the United States district court
today granted writ of habeas cor
pus in the case of Edward H. Reid,
an Omaha cattle shipper, who was
convicted in the district court Of
Arapahoe county yesterday of having
violated the Colorado statutes, by
shipping cattle into the state from
Texas without a signed bill of health
by the state inspector, and was SEN
fenced to six months Imprisonment
in the county jail.
Reid refused to pay state inspec-
tion fee, after having received a
clear bill of health from the federal
inspector. This was done to enable
the National Livestock association
to test the constitutionality of the
Colorado law regarding the inspec
ton of cattle shipped through the
state. The writ was made returnable
on Saturday, next.
If the United States district court
shall sustain the state court, the Ma
tional Livestock association will, ac.
cording to President Springer, ap
peal the case to the United States
supreme court.

LOCAL POLITICAL War
Present City Administration CeD-

Mcclure.

Philadelphia, June 27-What prom
ises to be fierce local political war
was inaugurated at the Academy Of
Music tonight when 5000 citizens in
town meeting nominated Attorney p
=. Rothermal, Jr., to be candidate
for the Office of district attorney
against John Weaver, who was NOM
mated for that office last week by
the republican organization of this
city. Speakers of the evening severe
ly criticised. the present city govern
ment.
I A telegram from Postmaster Gen
eral Charles Emery Smith was read
and was enthusiastically cheered. 1t
was as follows:
Can you use my name as vice
president? It is time for new de-
claration of independence. Philadel-
phia ought to rise in her might
against jobbers in her public rights,
and the ravishing of her sacred safe
guards of law
The principal speech of the even
ing was that of Col. A. K. Mcclure,
retired editor of the Philadelphia
Times. Col. McClure's arraignment
of the republican organization, both
city and state was extremely strong.
Attorney Rothermel, he said, was
nominated by the republican organi-
zation three years ago and elected.
Now this same organization, control
led by the same men, refuse him an
other term. They have named a
| man, he continued, who is untried
and an unknown quantity. Mr.. Roth
ermel sent to prison the ballot box
thieves, the masters of whom are
the political leaders of the city to-
| day He had also made it so uncom-
Portable for others of the same stripe
that they are living in distant lands
and cannot come home until Mr..
Rothermel is out of Office.

an exciting race. Harvard got the
best of the start and was slightly
ahead in the first mile. Then Yale
pulled to the front. Harvard spurted
and the boats were even. Then the
crimson shell was a bit ahead and at
the three mile mark it seemed as If
Harvard would be victorious, but the
awful pace was telling on the Cam
bridge boat.
Yale came up alongside again and
down the long line between rows of
yachts that fanked the line it was
absolutely an even thing.
In the last quarter Of a mile Yale

LARGEST ON RECORD
Prediction Of Enormous Wheat
Crop in Northwest Grain
Belt.

Chicago, June 27-After making a
careful canvass of the northwest ter
ritory, and preparing conservative es-
Inmates upon the conditions found
throughout the grain belt, the traffic
officials of the st. Paul, the North
western, Northern Pacific, Great
Nothern and the Burlington systems
are agreed that the wheat crop of
this region for 1901 will break all
previous records. According to the
estimates of these officials it is claim
ed that the two Dakotas and Mime
sofa alone will harvest between 1885,
100000 and 2OO,0OO,OOO bushels OF
wheat, as against 100,000,000 last
year.
The greatest previous yield OF
wheat in the three states named was
in 1898, when 175,OOO,00O bushels
were harvested.
The Record-Herald in explanation
of this years enormous crop says:
The crop cannot be termed a
bumper crop, as the enormous in
crease is due largely to the fact thai
the various railroad companies have
within the last two years, made
great efforts towards colonization o.
the northwest territory and as re
suit extensive additions have beer
made to the total of cultivated lands
and grain acreage.
