ABOUT SETTLING LIQUOR CASES
Prosecuting Agents Inquiring Into the
 Law Regarding Them.

Prosecuting Agents Inquiring Into the
 Law Regarding Them.
 Prosecuting Agent Pierce is s.mad'' at Prosecuting Attorney Bradstreet of the district court. His reasons are because Attorney Bradstreet appears to be always willing to settle liquor cases and so far as MT Pierce can re- member he has not yet tried any liquor case that was appealed to that court Attorney Bradstreet is not like Attor- ney Bronson when he was prosecutor in the district. MT Bronson was the boy that made the liquor dealers toe the mark and keep to it, too. Of all the liquor cases that ever went from the city court to the district court, since Attorney Bradstreet was appointed prosecutor there, there is no record, so far as MT Pierce can find of any of them ever being tried. Regarding liquor cases that have been found guilty in the city court, lawyers have found, way of thwarting the law that confscates such license. The way is to have them settled before they reach the district court There is no record against them and they are saw ed. But it is said the county com missioners disagree with the lawyers on that point. Prosecuting agents all over this county are inquiring into the law on this point.

 London, Dec 6.-The grip is unusu- ally severe this winter and has all ready been felt throughout England, with the result that all who can do so are leaving town. Hundreds of peo- pie are on their way to India to attend the Delhi .durbar, and thousands are Hooking to the south of France and the channel islands. -- --.... 4
 Christmas house parties are being organized at all the big country places, where the frost is rapidly spelling the hunting and driving the guns" 1n- doors to less strenuous recreations, such as bridge whist and amateur the atricals In East London the winter is having very different effect. Thou sands of unemployed persons daily congregate at the dock yard. gates, literally fighting for a chance to do a days work. Unskilled laborers are there in strong force and the police find it necessary to protect the fore men who distribute the work tickets each morning.
 That portion of the fashionable world which can afford Christmas gifts is watching the purchases of the members of the royal family in order to follow suit. King Edwards gifts this year run largely to pen and pen cil holders, cigarette cases and deli cate enamel work, set with a new va riety of soft tinted, transparent stones heretofore unknown in the realm of jewelry. Queen Alexandra is also partial to enamel work.
 London. Dec 6.-The past few months have found in the United Kingdom an unprecedented number of American buyers of thoroughbred cat tie, whose purchases of high class breeding stock aggregate many thou sands of pounds. A number of the animals bought are intended for exhi- bition at the St Louis exposition. The prices paid range from $2,1O0 to over $6,250 per head. Scores of high priced bulls and cows have been ship ped during the past summer and fall.
 The ruling of Mir Salmon, chief of the United States bureau of animal in- dustry, allowing the importation of Jersey and Guernsey cattle into the United States without the tl1berculin test is expected to greatly stimulate purchases in those islands.
