OUT OF SEASON.
The 400 QuaII Served at the shaw
Banquet Nay Cause Trouble

Des Moines, Jan. Al. j. Myers,
proprietor of butcher shops at 1905
High street and 3l6 Seventh street,
was arrested Saturday afternoon on
charge of keeping and selling quail
out OF season. The arrest comes "a
the result of the charge that 400 qusil
and ploveI -ere served at the Slavery
banquet Thursday night in honor of
the new Secretary of the Treasury,
when Secretary Shaw, Governor-elect
A. B. Cummins, Judge Smith Nc
Pherson, of the Federal Court, Editor
Rosewater, of the Omaha Bee, ex-
Congressman George D. Perkins,
Judge 8. F. Prouty, Judge @. A.
Bishop and other notables sat at the
banquet table and ate quail and plover
out of season. The law plainly states
that whoever has in his possession
any of these birds out of season, is
guilty and subject to a fine, and a
local attorney is now investigating
the Shaw banquet service to see if
further charges and complaints shall
be formulated in court.

London, March 24.-A letter receiv-

OK the expedition which is attempting
to make its way overland from Paris
to New York, dated Yakutsk, Siberia,
February 16, announced his intention
to depart on the following day for
Srednebsredne Kolymsk, East Siberia.
De Windt had then already covered
1000 miles of his land journey since
he left the railroad, through binding
billiards. and with the thermometer
from 25 to SO degrees below zero. Off
cials at Yakutsk strongly urged De-
Windt not to continue his journey.
They said the conditions were worse
this year than ever and that the cold
was more intense and epidemies and
famine were raging. The traveller de-
termined to proceed. but unless he
reaches Sredne Kolymsk before May
he will probably be obliged to remain
there until winter makes sleighing
possible.

ENJoIN RAILROADS.
Interstate Commerce Commission Gets
Restraining Order.


Chicago, March 24.-With the con-
sent of the defendants Judge Grosscup
in the federal court today issued a
temporary order asked for by the in
terstate commerce commission against
six railroads entering Chicago. The
order holds good until June l, or until
further orders from the court.
The railroads affected by the injunc-
ton are the Lake Shore, Pittsburg,
Cincinnati Chicago & st. Louis;
Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne & Chicago;
Michigan Central; Illinois Central and
Northwestern. 1t is believed the rail-
roads named have agreed not to con-
test the petition for the Injunction at
this time, in order that other roads
eventually might be brought into
court and compelled to live up to the
provisions of the Sherman law and the
interstate commerce act.
