government in the last instance.
The two insular cases to be decided ~
this term of court are known as the
Dooley case and the Fourteen Diamond
Rings case. The Dooley case Involves
the right of the government to collect
tariff on goods going from this country
to Porto Rico after the Foraker act Went
into effect. The other concerns the rlght
of the United States coustoms officers 70
collect duties on fourteen diamond rings
brought from Manila to this co,eltry pS
returning soldier.
There being no law affecting the I'M
portation OF goods from the Philippines
the government has imposed duties ac-
scording to the Dingley tariff bill, but
the plaintiffs counsel argued that the
islands are territory of the United
States and denied the legality OF the du-
ties.
In one of the Porto Rican cases des
cided last April the court held that
prior to the Foraker act goods were en-
titled to free admission, and some be-
lieve that this finding will also be made
in the fourteen diamond ring case, but
the point is made that our continued
military control of the Philippines may
be considered by the court as giving
this suit different aspect. 1t was point
ed out, however, in April the court
held that duties were collectible on
goods from Porto Rico between the oc-
cupancy of the island by the United
States army and the ratification of the

VIOLATED DAIRY LAW.
Kossuth County Farmer Fined $500 for
Selling Impure Butter.

:
Selling impure Butter.
Algona, Oct. 15.-Simon Steffen, a
Kossuth county farmer. has just paid
$500 for unwittingly violating the law
against sale of butter not strictly pure.
He ships his butter direct to Chicago
and one day recently when the refriger-
ator car came along Mrs. Steffen. who
is an ignorant woman, placed some pure
tallow on top of the butter in one of the
tubs which was not quite full. She did
not mix it with the butter, but placed
it on top so that it could be separated
and sold separately. In a few days
detective came from Chicago and in
vestlgated the case, and later deputy
Collector Sage came from Grundy Cen
ter and demanded payment of $500 for
violation of the oleomargarine law, and
that Steffen take out license for sale
of oleomargarine under penalty of being
taken to Chicago for trial. Steffen
raised $500 by mortgaging his farm and
paid the collector. When Steffens
neighbors found out what he had done
they became angered and threatened to
suit against the collector for
extortion and to recover part Of the
money on the claim that Steffen was
under no obligation to take u1ee 4 license
and that he personally was not respon-
sble for the fault.

Sofia. Oct. 15.-Altho the time fixed
by the brigands who abducted Miss
Stone, the American missionary, for
payment of the ransom demanded ex-
pired week ago. no one appeared at
samakoff to clam the money or an

tons, ana tie various states nave en-
acted similar statutes varying in terms,
following the common law rule on the
subject. But where the language OF the
state is clear and unambiguous, as IS
ours, the courts have, and they are
bound to give force to the entire word
ing of the act. Thus our Statute de-
clares any communication Of this class
rot receivable. We can not, therefore,
say that 1t was the intention of the leg
islature to limit it to confidential or to
privileged communications, as the latter
term is generally used. In the highest
sense of the word all communications of
this class are privileged because the law
makes them so, but 1t is not a privilege
which may be waived by either party
alone, for considerations of public poll
cy and public welfare enter too largely
into the sacred relation Of husband and
wife to permit a disclosure of communi-
cations at the will of either. Nor does
death remove the disability"
There appears to be no law requiring
the recording of contract with any
state official, and SO far as the habitues
OF the state house are aware there is no
way of making contract more binding
by having it filed with any state officer;
yet occasionally contract is sent to the
office of secretary of state to be spread
upon the records. One such came yes
terday. 1t was contract between the
Barney & Smith Car Company, Dayton,
o., and the kenefick Construction Com
pany. of Clinton, a contract for furnish
ing fifty box cars and ten fiat cars to the
Clinton firm. The cars are for use on
the Ozark & Cherokee Central railroad
which is being built by Iowa people. The
contract, however. discloses just what
such cars cost. The cars are all to be
thirty-four feet long. The box cars arc
to cost s57s each and the fiat cars $449
each.
The recent ruling of the supreme court
which clinches the theory that the oil
dealers must label all gasoline no mat
ter who buys 1t or whether the person
knows what he is getting or not is caus-
ing some annoyance. One of the oil in
spectors has reported that agents of the
Standard Oil Company have been In
structed that it is the duty OF the state
to furnish the labels and that the COM

the little red stickers. The agents have
reported that the company goes on the
theory that since the labels are some-
thing the state requires the state must
provide them. But the state does not
provide the poison labels druggists are
required to put on poison: and 1t will not
buy labels for the Standard Oil Com
pany.
Investigation is to be made by the COL
iege faculties to determine to what ex-
tent the rowdyism OF carnival week in
Des Moines was due to college students.
II 1T can be shown that any Of the col-
lege boys went beyond the limit there
will be a few less students in the city.
Certain 1t is, SO the police report, that
somebody was very wrong during carnl-
val week.

to ask number Of questions, especially
concerning the retrogade move-

in the direction Of Key West and go

INsuLAR RIGHTS AT STAKE.
Supreme Court Will DecideTwo In

Washington, Oct. 15.-The supreme
court is now in session and will hand
down decisions in two insular cases
within short time. One of these cases
involves the right of the United States
to levy and collect duties on goods
shipped to and from the Philippines.
which was not decided last April. when
the court passed upon the Porto Rican
cases.
at that time the court held that the
Foraker act was constitutional as ap-
piled to Porto Rico; that tariff was
legal on imports from that island after
the date OF army occupancy and before
the treaty was ratified, and that duties
could not legally be collected on inn
prots from Porto Rico between the rat

of the Foraker act In deciding these
three Porto Rican cases the court found

Huntinaton Amendment Rejected.

San francisco, CAL. Oct 15.-The
House of Deputies Of the Episcopal
church of America, sitting as Com
mittee of the Whole. today adopted the
proposed canon prohibiting the remar-
riage of divorced persons for causes not
arising previous to their former mar
riage. The canon was adopted just as
1t came from the house of bishops. The
vote stood 1872 for to 1853 against.
The amendment of DR.. Huntington of
New York, making an exception in the
case of the innocent party of a divorce,
was rejected by vote of l5S to 173. The
result of the vote in the Committee of
the Whole was reported to the house of
deputies, which will vote on the matter.
The result, however. may not be the
same, for in the house the vote of thirty
delegations is required to carry mea-
sure, the divided delegations virtually
counting among nays. No time was set
for final vote by the house.

Constantinople. Oct. 15.-It transpires
that the Turkish commander had COM
pleted dispositions to surround Miss
Ellen NJ. stones captors at noon on
Saturday last.
Spencer Eddy, secretary of the United

nation that further activity would re-
suit in the death of Miss Stone. and at 8
o'clock on Saturday morning he pro-
ceded to the residence OF the minister of
foreign affairs. Tewfik Pasha, and de-
manded the immediate retirement of the
Turkish troops.
This was carried out, and the Bull
garian forces followed suit. Mr.. Eddy.s
action has the unanimous approval of
the members of the diplomatic corps,
who are convinced that efforts to liber-
ate Miss Stone by force will undoubt-
edly result In her murder.
Neither Mr.. Baird nor Mr.. Haskell,

get in touch with the brigands in order
to arrange as to the amount Of the ran-
scm for Miss Stone.
