Royal billiard hall and the Opera House
drug store. was arrested late yesterday
afternoon for failing to comply with
the subpoena issued by County Attor-
ney Galen Nichols for Thompson to ap-
pear before him and tell what he knew
about liquor sales in Topeka.
The warrant was issued in the city
court. The arrest means that the
question whether the inquisition law is
constitutional or not will be tested.
Judge Hazen has decided that an as
sistant attorney general has no right
to punish a person for refusing to rec
ognize subpoena issued by him but
whether the law is good as regards a
county attorney has not been decided.

SPARROW PURSUE A CAT.
How a Tabby Lost Her Life by Indulging
Her Marauding Disposition.

The ivy which climbs the north
wall of the United Congregational
church in Newport, r. l., furni shes
retreat for thousands of sparrows. A
cat had noticed the birds, and no doubt
conceived the unreasonable idea that
here she might possibly find nest
with toothsome young bird in it.
So pussy climbed the ivy and reached
a point where she had seen one of the
birds disappear amid the thick leaves.
Stretching out its paws where it sup
posed nest would be a loud chatter
ing ensued and myraid of sparrows
darted out and attacked the cat with
fury.
1t was indeed a vicious onslaught.
They pecked and chartered and futter-
ed at a great rate and the cat was be-
wildered. To free itself from the as
sault the cat spit and fought and
howled, but it was of no use, the birds
kept at it until their enemy fell to the
ground. This did not stop the COM
bat of the birds. They kept pecking
away until they were tired. The cat
did not move and occasionally spar
row would drop to the ground safe
distance from its enemy, as if to see if
it was dead Some little time after
ward a witness of this strange strug
gle went to the spot and found that
the cat was dead Its eyes had been
literally dug out and it's head was a
mass of bleeding wounds.

NEW NORTHWESTERN ROUTE.

A dispatch from Clinton, Iowa, says
that the contractor who built the Blue
Earth, Mimi, line of the Chicago &
Northwestern has removed to that
city. This, taken in connection with
the work that is being done on the
Midland branch of the Northwestern,
which is being put in order for heavy
engines has revived the report that
the Northwestern will extend the Mid
land. In the company's Chicago Offices
is map of a route from Clinton to
Parkersburg, by way of Waterloo,
where connection is made with the
Blue Earth line. If this is built, it
will give the Northwestern tolerably
direct line from Chicago to Minneapo-
lis and st. Paul by this route. The
Northwestern has great quantities of
ties and other material at Clinton for
use in construction.

Over the State; Each District Has
One or More.

The Minneapolis Times Friday
gives what it purports to be state of
Gov. ELECT Van SAINTS principal ap-
pointments which we herewith repro
duce for what they may be worth:
THE distribution of plums that
Governor elect Van SAINT is to make
is almost completed. The governor
elect has been very busy in st. Paul
during the past few days, and now,
after his many conferences with the
Republican leaders, it is said that the
slate of appointments is almost COM
pleted and ready for publication.
This slate takes care of the seven
congressional districts of the state. 1t
gives Minneapolis several good things.
among which is not found the oil in
spectorship 1t gives st. Paul several
more nice plums, and in this collection
it is said that the insurance commits
sionership is missing.
According to the slate that the
governor is said to have almost
completed, Minneapolis gets the labor
commissioner the food and dairy COM
missioner, surveyor general and the
private secretary.
Robert Jamison is already known
as the private secretary. The labor
commissionership is to go to John
O'Donnell; the surveyor general to

commissionership is still looking for
good man. Mr. Matchan is to get
the surveyor generalship providing
that Sherman S. Smith cannot dodge
his election to the Legislature
For ST. Paul, the slate has the adj
jutant generalship and the oil inspec
torship Elmer Dearth wants to be the
insurance commissioner, but the place
is going to man in another district.
Joseph Wheelock is to be oil inspector.
Major Libby is to be adjutant general.
''The third district, if the slate is
correct, is to have the state librarian.
The place is to be filed by J. K.
Grondahl.
THE second district is to have the
Insurance commissionership that Mr..
nearth wants. D. G. Robinson is the
ca ndfaas -te for the place from this dis
tr.ct, and he is to get the place.
The first district is to have the
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, and County Superintendent j. w.
Olson is slated to succeed the present
state superintendent, J. H. Lewis.
The sixth district is to blast the
hopes of DR.. o. P Sutherland, of Min
neapolis, who wanted to be the state
game warden. Sam Fullerton of the
sixth district is slated to grasp this
plum.
The seventh district will take the
bank examinership. E. J. Miller, of
Big Stone, is the man said to be slated
for the place. This place cannot be
filed for year, the appointee serving
three years. -

WIDOW WINS.
Mrs. Buckley Comes in Before the Other
Heirs.

Judge Hughes has rendered a de-
cision in the Buckley will case The
late Edmund P. Buckley left a will
giving his wife, Margaret Ann Buck
ley, life lease of the homestead near
Eagle Lake and two thirds of the real
estate in fee simple. The other heirs
brought suit to set this latter clause
aside as not being the intention of
the deceased. Judge Hughes has al
ready held that all of the real estate,
comprising thirty acres of land and
several unplatted lots containing the
house and barn, should be considered
the homestead, and now he holds that
Mrs. Buckley is entitled to life lease
of the whole and to the absolute own
ership of two-thirds of it. The point
is new one and there were no pre-
cedents to go by.
w. R. Geddes, attorney for the
other heirs, states that an appeal to
the district court will probably be
taken. w. A. Funk is Mrs. Buckley s

OPPOSED BY WO.
John Engesse Not Likely to Obtain an
AuctiOneer's License.

Mayor Currier and Aids. Jordan and
Weed, of the committee on. licenses,
held a meeting Saturday to con-
slider the application of John Engessor
for an auctioneer's license The two
former expressed themselves as being
opposed to granting a license. while
Aid. Weed did not make known his
thoughts on the subject. The third
member of the committee, Aid. Leon
ard, being absent no action was taken.
With two opposed, the license cannot
be granted.
1t is understood that Mr.. Engesser
desires an auctioneer's license for one
month in order to bring big stock of
clothing to the city and auction it off,
Such proceeding would demoralize
the clothing trade for long time to
come, as large class of people have
a fascination for bidding at auctions
and generally buy something that
they do not need at prices higher than
the regular trade charges for similar
grade of goods If this was not the
case, there would be no money in dis
posing of such stocks.
Two clothing merchants called on
Mayor Currier this morning and COM
mended him for his course in the mat
ter and urged him to stand firm.
Aid. Taylor states that he misunder-
stood the motion last night and in
tended to vote against approving the
bond. This would have made a tie
and the mayor would have cast the de-
Gliding vote against the bond.
Mr.. Pau holds that the motion to
not approve the bond having been lost
the bond is approved. This is ques-
tionable parliamentary practice, and
has no bearing on the granting of the
license in any event.
