FILIPINO WEAPONS.
State Historical Society Receives a
Large Number of Pieces of Ar
tillery from the Islands.
Especial CORRESPONDENTS

Especial Correspondence
The state historical department
is in receipt of a large number of pieces
of artillery from the Philippines, Sc
cured for it by Congressman Hull when
he visited the islands last summer. Two
bamboo cannon are crude and ugly.
They are about five feet long. One APP
parently has metal core made espe-
cially for it, around which are bamboo
pieces bound with heavy wire. The
other appears to have piece of gas
pipe for the barrel and the bamboo
covering is merely held fast by bamboo
iron bands. A small mounted brass
cannon is about three feet long and
has bore of about two inches. 1t is
pretty weapon but the large truck
is of crude wooden construction and
cumbersome. A brass saluting mortar
stands on end about ten inches high
and was fred only for making noise.
A rife is made out of piece of gas
pipe about five feet long, set in crude
wooden stock and bound with iron
bands. 1t is so heavy one man could
not hold it up and SO crude that it
would appear to be more dangerous to
fire than as a weapon.

THE "wArER CURE"
Used Successfully by an Iowa Man to
Exterminnte the Gophers That
Are Annoying Farmers.
Especial correspondence.l


A novel and successful plan for the
determination of gophers has been
tried by E. C. Williams, who resides
near Palmyra. Williams succeeded III
killing 2o6 gophers in one day. He
placed a water tank on wagon, filed
the tank with water and hauled it
about the field, treating the gophers
to a good dose of the "water cure"
wherever he found hole. He attached
hose to the bottom of the tank, in
sorting the other end in the hole and
turning on the water usually brought
out his victim. The gophers were
killed by two dogs, and Williams says
only few escaped. The gophers have
been annoying the Iowa farmers to a
large extent during the past few years
by digging up the corn about as fast
as it was planted. They are rapidly
increasing in numbers, and numerous
plans have been adopted for their ex-
termination, but all have practically
failed with the exception of the water
cure"

TO ENFORCE THE LAW.
Local. Leagues of the Loyal Citizens
State Marshal League Being Or
snnized Throughout Iowa.
Especial Correspondence.l

A. C. Rankin, the ''moulder orator.
and worker in temperance fields, is
in Iowa and is organizing local leag aes
of the Loyal Citizens State Marshal
league. These local organizations are
supposed to watch the enforcement of
the laws relating to liquor. A charge
of ten cents per year for each member
is made, half to go to the enforcement
of local law and the other half into
state organization hands to fight state
cases. The organization is being per-
fected because the recent legislature
refused to pass state constabulary
bill. The constabulary organized I'M
der the auspices of the league will do
the work privately and on its own ac-
count, but Mr.. Rankin believes it will
be almost as effective as state con-
stabulary.

SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE.
An American May BE Assigned by
the Government to Instruct
the Turkish People.
Especial corresponaence.l

ID. A. Kent, the new deputy state
dairy commissioner, and who has just
assumed his duties at Des Moines, is
in receipt of information from Wash
ington, d. c., which leads him to be-
ieve that the negotiations between
the Turkish government and the
United States looking toward the as
Segment of an American to the busi-
ness of instructing the Turkish people
in scientific agriculture, may be re-
sumed. These negotiations were be-
gun about two years ago and were
broken off for some reason not re-
vealed to the public by the diplomatic
service. Mr.. Kent was commissioned
at one time, through Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wilson, to go to Turkey for
the purpose mentioned, but when he
reached the port at New York and was
about to sail he was recalled, Temporal
rily, and has been waiting for a re-
newal of the commission ever since.
The Turkish people have primitive
ideas in respect to agriculture. In fact
they have lost many of these. The
works of irrigation in Turkey in the
early days-Biblical times, indeed
were very fine, perhaps the largest and
best managed of any the world has
ever seen. These works have fallen en-
tirely into disuse and ruin. 1t is un-
derstood of course, that the country

Hard Cider.

Judge Fl. M. Remley, whose decision
in Cedar Rapids that hard cider must
be classed as whisky under the Iowa
law has given rise to much dispute and
some misunderstanding, does not, OF
course, include sweet cider in his
judgment, as was mistakenly stated.
Judge Remley's ruling was, based on
the evidence that the grocer in the
case had actually sold hard cider, and
that the men who drank it became in
toxicated. Furthermore, the stuff was
analysed by chemist, who found that
it contained six per cent. of alcohol.

Drank TOO Freely.

The famous sheep case, tried in the
district court in Usage, Shupe VS.. Nc
Intire, ended when the jury returned
a verdict in favor of the defendant
The case was tried at the November
term of court, the verdict being the
same. A new trial was granted on the
ground that the jury had consumed
large amount of liquor during the
trial. Shupe bought sheep of McIntire
and they became affected with scab
and died. He sued for damages with
the result that it will cost him into the
hundreds.

Gov. Cummins has vetoed the bill
passed by the recent legislature which
provided that suits on notes given to
insurance companies and sold by them
or in the hands of receivers should be
brought in the counties in which the
makers live. He held the measure to
be unconstitutional, because it i'm
paired contracts and made an artificial
classification of insurance companies.
This was the last bill in the hands OF
the governor and the business of the
Twenty-ninth general assembly is

MuIct Law Is Void.

The supreme court has ruled that
sale of liquor to "bootleggers" and
other resident violators of the Iowa
law cannot be prohibited when the
sales are made by agents of nonresi-
dent dealers. The court holds that the
section of the Iowa liquor law known
as the "mulct law" prohibiting such
sales is in conflict with interstate COM
niece laws and therefore is unconstitu-
tional. The effect of the decision is
to prevent further seizure of liquor in
the hands of express and other trans
portation companies. 1t disposes OF
