Saloon Keepers Wife at Wildwood Is
Killed During Raid by
Masked Farmers

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. 20.-Mrs.
Rose hudson, wife of John Hudson,
saloon keeper at Millwood, IA miles
north of here, was shot and instantly
killed at night during raid upon her
husbands saloon. Hudson had been
warned to close his saloon, but re-
fused. About ten o'clock three men
entered the place and called for
drinks. When served they raped on
the counter and gave a signal. Hud-
son jumped from behind the bar and
grabbed one of the men. In the
scrimmage a shotgun, which a man
carried, was discharged, the con-
son, attracted by the noise, ran
screaming into the room, while a
mob of 40 men, most of whom wore
masks, entered in answer to the sig
nal. In the melee that followed Mrs.
Hudson was shot in the head by a
shotgun, the top of her head being
blown off. William Webb, one of the
raiders, was shot in the shoulder by
revolver. Nearly 100 shots were
fired. Hudson carried his dying wife
into an adjoining room and the mob
retired without wrecking the joint.
Sheriff Everhardt, who went to Mil
wood, has secured four prisoners, two
of whom are John and Henry Wilson,
young farmers. Others implicated
will be arrested. There were no
women in the mob, it being composed
of farmers, all in disguise.
The town is in a fever OF excite
ment, and more trouble is threatened
Anticipating the attack, Hudson had
gathered about him ten armed men
They. however. taken by surprise, were
stampeded and this fact and the kill.
ing of Mrs. Hudson probably prevented
bloody riot.
Four farmers were arrested Tues.
day for completely in the saloon raid
at Wildwood, Kan, that resulted in
the killing of Mrs. Rosa Hudson, the
bartender's wife, and have been
lodged in the county Jail here. To
day the county attorney says he will
file complaint against them of mur.
der in the first degree. The raiders
are John Willburn, William Thorn
burg, Andy Wilson and Turner
Willburn is but 2s years of age and
each of the others are 26. All but
Turner are married. Back of the al
legged raid there is said to have ex
listed feud of long standing. Other
arrests may follow.

A NEW RULING.

In Des Moines the other day JUS
tice F. E. Duncan dismissed the civil
rights case against @. Hansen, the
East Des Moines saloon keeper, and
released the latter from his bond
Justice Duncan handed down an
opinion holding that saloon keeper
cannot be prosecuted for refusing to
sell liquor to person, even if the
person is black and claims equal
privilege under the civil rights law.
In deciding this case Justice Duncan
brings to close the. first case of the
kind ever in the Iowa courts. Saloon
men have frequently and often been
prosecuted for selling liquor to per-
sons, but this is the first case in
which action was brought on account
of a saloon man refusing to sell
liquor to an applicant,

sumed that the Fifth will have no

sumed that the Fifth will have no
candidate for that position this year.
Next to seeing some able lawyer of
the Fifth district on the supreme
bench, the T.-R. would like to see
Judge Dewey, of the First district,
he of Titus amendment fame, in that
exalted position. The T.-R. likes
Dewey because of his merits alone,
because he is we'll equipped for the
place, and because he is the most
prominent man today in the judicial
circles of the state.
! Judge Dewey supported Gear and
opposed Cummins. He did this, not
because he loved, Cummins less, but
he loved Gear more. But he sup
ported Mr.. Gear in manly way and
at the same time extended to Mr..
Cummins and his candidacy the sim
cere respect of one who admired Mr..
Cummins.
Judge Dewey would instill new
blood into the supreme court. He is
not a respecter of tradition, and once
in while he likes to shy rock at
the hoary head of precedent. But he
is a man of legal mind, man of a
trained mind, man of a wonderfully
logical mind. His comprehension is
quick-remarkably SO ;his perceptions
very clear. On the bench he is alert,
prompt, decisive. He sometimes
makes mistakes. Who does not? But
those who know him best say he
makes fewer mistakes than the dull
lawyer, fewer than those who parley,
doubt and guess. Again, no taint of
corruption has ever attached to any
judicial act, and he is now complet-
ing the eleventh year on the bench.
But it is as the author of the cele.
brated opinion on the Titus amend
ment that he is most widely known.
The history of the case is now familiar
to every one, Judge Dewey took up
the matter by request in his quick,
peremptory, fearless manner. The
time was short, but when the case
was closed the whole realm of law
relating to the amendment of the
constitution had been completely and
thoroughly covered. Judge Dewey
did his work so we'll that the task of
the supreme court was made easy.
The ability and scope of the opinion
demonstrated bow wunerringly, almost
by a process of legal intuition, he
emerged from the conflict of opinion,
Interpretation and precedent and
went straight as an arrow to the
logical end.
If the friends o, Mr.. Cummins can
be induced to look at Judge Dewey's
candidacy without hostility he can be
nominated.

"LITTLEN HOLLAND.

Holland is little country when il
is compared with the great nations
of the world, but the empire over
which young Queen Wilhelmina rules
is by no means insignificant. The
area of the Netherlands is nearly
$1,000 square miles, and the popula.
tion is nearly 5000, 900. The Dutch
colonies are considerable. These
possessions are mainly in the East
and West Indies, and are highly val.
liable. The area of Java and other
Asiatic islands, Dutch Guiana, Cur.
acoa and other West Indian islands
is about 5000 square miles, with a
combined population of nearly 81.
100000. This makes total area oi
nearly 800, 900 square miles and to.
tai population of nearly 80 900 900
When man refers TO Holland as 8
little country he doesn't know what
he is talking about. 1t has consider.
able area and lots of money.

New Sharon Star: Judge Dewey
in holding court in Oskaloosa, pre-.
sides with dignity and efficiency and
wears his honors like gentleman.
Very naturally he is receiving show
ers of congratulations that his de-
cision regarding the Titus amend
ment was sustained by the supreme
court. Somehow the Deweys have a
knack of administering blows that
stand for obliteration at the first
round. Our Dewey would carry
brains and efficiency to the supreme
court, and we would rejoice in see-
ing him elected this fall.

However, Endorsements

commended. However, Endorsements
of the scheme have been qualified
with suggestions of doubt that it
would prove practical. Mr.. Coffin has
therefore been moved to solicit the
opinion of Rev. O. F, Williams, of
Burlington, for nine years prison
chaplain. In reply to the questions
OF the Fort Dodge philanthropist the
Rev. Mr.. Williams declares there is
need for home to which men dis
charged from prison can resort for
shelter, sympathy and opportunity
for self-support until permanent en-
ployment can be found for them. Mr.,
Williams advised the establishment
of such an institution in his report
for 1889. For his belief that Mr.. Cof-
fms institution will be found prac-
tical he relies on experiences else
where. New York has several insti-
tutions of this kind and the American
Home-Finding Association with head
quarters in Chicago has been quite
successful in its work.

COACH HORSE.

AS many of the horses to be offer
ed atthe George S, Prime sale Thurs
day, Feb, 81, are coach horses, it is
interesting to note the upward ten
dency of prices in these animals.
The Chicago Journal says:
lone of the English buyers now
doing business at the Union Stock
Yards in Chicago remarked last week
that he never saw so many high
class heavy harness horses placed on
sale at one time and in one place.
Indeed, the offerings of high-class
harness horses of this sort have been
the feature of the market so far this
year. Good prices, too, have been
forthcoming. These prices have been
better than have ever before been
paid on the open market since the
establishment of the daily auctions,
and there seems to be an unlimited
inquiry from home aud foreign buy
ers. Thursday has become by some
SOFT of common consent the day on
which the best of the coach horses
are offered in the Chicago auctions.
Last week on that day p. A. Immel
sent up choice consignment of coach
horses specially fitted and hammered
for high-class trade. The figures OBJ
tanned ranged from s160 to s465.
Since December IL, 1900, Mr.. Immel
has disposed of 120 prime coach hor-
ses at auction, the prices obtained
having an extreme range of from
Sl25 to s640.
The coach horses a few days ago
in the Chicago market, Sc ling at 5000
had decided inning as to the prices
and up to 5000 each. They were Iowa,
Illinois and Missouri bred"

SCHOOL LIBRARIES.

The following ruling has been made
by R. Q. Barrett, superintendent of
public instruction.
'It is recommended that money
raised by the voluntary efforts of
pupils, teachers and patrons for Ii.
brary purposes, be expended for
books under the direction of the
president and secretary of the board
of directors and the county superin-
tendent, as provided 10 Section 2, of
Chapter ITO, Acts of the 2Sth General
Assembly. This will insure for the
books the same care and protection
that the law provides for school IL
