ingly great, and chiefly of description

therefore of the Spaniards is just orfun-

difficulty that people of this class can

Law is Sustained.

Des Moines, Ia, October 5.-The
supreme court sustained the constitu-
tionality of the paving law of 1897,
which adopts the front foot rule, as
sessing the cost to abutting property.
The cases are Hackworth VS.. The
City of Ottumwa and the Agrian

the same defendants. The lower court
held this law unconstitutional, follow
ing the case of Norwood VS.. Baker i'm

1t is shown in today's opinion,
written by Judge Deemer, that since
this case was tried the United States
supremecourthas sustained the validity
of such status, holding that the man.
ner of assessing the cost of such inn
provements must be consisted ques-
tion of legislative expediency. This
decision removes the last doubt about
the Iowa paving law, and such work
can now be done without the fear that
its payment may be successfully re-
sisted.

from the east window, also the pro.
clamation of peace in 1888. The state
constitution was planned here, and
Hancock, the first governor elected by
the people was inaugurated. In 1885
William Lloyd Garrison escaped from
the mob by entering the building on
one side and through to carriage on
the other. The first public library in
America was located here. The build
ing is now in charge of the Bostonian
Society, and is filled with rare paint
ings, prints and relics of the colonial
and provincial periods.
We also enjoyed an inspection of the
Boston Navy Yard, one Of the largest
and finest that we have. Here we
found several war vessels that took a
prominent part in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. The dynamite cruiser Vesu-
vius was in dry dock, SO the exterior
could be completely viewed from both
sides. We also felt not a little pride
in an inspection of the Olympia,
Admiral Dewey's flagship, and in
standing on the bridge where Dewey
stood during the memorable battle of
Manila. We also saw the Newark, a
powerful battleship, the Prairie, a
training vessel, the Bancroft, the
Sterling, coaler and transport, and
the Vizcaya, the Spanish armored
cruiser captured in the late war.
1t may be of interest to some to
learn that in the original town of
Boston was town pump, and the
paths which the villagers made to
this pump from their homes are now
streets. This is said to account for the
great irregularity in the streets, rang
ing from six to a hundred feet in
width, and running in every direction.
Another notable feature is the street
railway system, which is a splendid
one. Ia some parts Of the city there
are three tracks, oDe above the other,
i. e. the underground or subway, the
surface and the elevated. These are
capable Of transferring great numbers
of people. The subway is one of the
finest in the world, a double track be.
ing laid several Z lies underground, at
a cost Of 55.O00,000.
The Boston Terminal Station, from
which We les tie city il the largest
railroad station in the world, COM
pleted in 1899, at cost of $4,000, 900,
and covers So acres of land.
The above shows that we put in the
time pretty thoroughly during the two
days we spent in Boston. 1t is an
ideal city for the American to visit,
and we hope to be able to go there
again in the near future.

SALOONS ARE CLOSED
OUTSIDE THE CITY OF DEBORAH
Judge Hobson Holds the Supplemental
Petition Invalid, and Closes all Saz'
looms Outside of the Four
Wards of DecOrah.

BY decision rendered by Judge
HObson in the District Court of this
county on Saturday morning, every sa-
loon in Winnesheik county outside of
the foul wards of Decorah was closed.
The case was that of Newcomer vs.
Peter Meyer, for contempt, and the de-
cision Is far reaching one.
The history of the recent saloon liti-
CATION is as follows: In 1897 a petition
of general consent was circulated in
this county which was signed by more
than 65 per cent of the voters of the
county and by majority in all the
lower townships of the county and De-
corah township. In January 1898 the
Board of Supervisors canvassed the PEE
tition and made record of their find
ing but no distinct record as to the i'm
corporated towns in the county except
the four wards of the city of Decorah.
Because of this failure on their part
Judge Fellows he'd in the case of Hill
VS. Gleisner, that no saloons could legal
ly exist in the county except in De-
corah proper. Last March petition
was circulated in the townships of Mil
itary, Calmar, Washington and jack
son, and in the incorporated towns in
these townships. The Board of Super
visors declared it sufficient and the ST.
looms reopened. Then came the pres
ent case of Newcomer VS. Peter Meyer,
and when the new finding of the Board
of Supervisors was offered in evidence
it was objected TO by Attorney Acres On
the ground that il was void and of no
effect Judge Hobson SO held and as q
result the saloons are again closed
The only recourse for the saloons ow
apparent to us is a new canvass % the
entire county.
AS result of the above decision
Peter Mayer was fined + .-eonsetapt
5000, with S25 attorney lee. Frank
Svestka and William runn were also
fined similar amounts. Little other
business of public interest was done by
the Court, the time being largely taken
up with the settlement of estates, pro-
bate business etc. The grand jury
found only one indictment, that
against Edward Waters, the Ossian
marshal, for injury to the person of one
Peck. The National Bank and paving
cases We're continued. Four divorces
Were granted, to Addie e. Segerdahl
and Charles p. Segerdahl; S. A. Sutton
and Emma b. Sutton; John f. Died

Duffy Clark and Geo. NJ. Clark; and
two permits to sell intoxicating liquor
were granted, to Z, j. Parman and &,
