price for them.
Mrs. Koke ordered the man to pass
on. He walked some distance up the
street. while Mrs. koke went to the
rear of her house to get supper. The
mothers attention was speedily at
tracted by a scream from the yard and
she found the stranger with little Hell

the mother the man dropped the child
and escaped. Yesterday morning at s

OPINION BY JUDGE sHIRAs.
Remanded Miller VS.. LeMars National
Bank Case to Plymouth County

Dubuque. June 25.-Judge Shiras has
filed on opinion remanding the case Of
Elan Miller VS.. the LeMars National
Bank. Thomas NJ. Thornton, receiver to
The district court of Iowa for Plymouth
county. The case is an action brought
by the plaintiff to recover S2,664 per
fcrred claim from the LeMars National
Bank, now insolvent. Judge Shiras'
opinion declares the federal court to be
without jurisdiction as both parties are
citizens of Iowa and jurisdiction can
not exist on the ground of diverse citi-
zenship. The appointment of receiver
for a national bank does not terminate
the legal existence of the bank and in
this case the LeMars National Bank is
the real party against whom recovery
is sought, and for that reason it is held
the district court for the county of
plymouth, Iowa, has jurisdiction only
over the questions involved.

independent Faction Adopts a Radical
State Platform.

Erie, Pa, June 25.-The independent
| republican state convention was called
to order at 12:40 today. A. Rosborne,
of Erie, was selected temporary chair
man. After electng standing commit
tees a recess was taken for an hour.
When the convention reassembled the
following platform was submitted and
adopted:
After reatfirmng all the statements
and promises and declarations of pur
poses continued in the platform of the
state convention in 1901 the platform
says:
1--WE repeat that every department of
our state government is honeycombed
with profiigacy, reckless disregard
constitutional and moral obligations;
that the powers of government are
prostituted to the purposes of public
thieves; that constitutional restraints
and commands, sanctity of law, obli-
cations Of official oaths and demands
OF common honesty are thrust aside by
the substitution of the higher law of
demands of insatiate greed of public
plunderers for money; that shameless
ly and openly votes of legislators are
bought so persistently and constantly
that market values for Legislators have
been established by settled customs;
that the apparent Indifference of our
people to these outrages has embold-
ened the corruptionists to such an eX-
tent that the last session of our legis-
lature out-heroded Herod in its infamy
and all men pronounce it the most
corrupt legislative body that ever con-
vened in any state; that its very or
ganiZation was founded on the pur-
chase of venal legislators with money
and place and that it closed it's ses-
sion with the crowning infamy of
most stupendious franchise steal
shocking the moral sense of the en-
tire country; that a selection of United
States senator Yves accomplished in
carnival or corruption and bribery;
that in relentless determination to pun
ish enemies and reward supservient
tools, established municipal govern
ments We're ruthlessly overturned and
the chosen servants of the people ex-
PEELED from their offices to make places
for the creatures of corrupt machine
while that faith of the people in the
saEct!ty of the judiciary was broken
by its halting efforts to find a plaus
ible excuse for crime"
The Platform then promises a clean
administration; banishment of the
lobbyist, bribe- siver and franchise
robber and assures business interests
Of absolute exemption from the pinch
of legislation" The platform closes
as follows:
This democratic convention wavea
all expression of opinion on questions
Of national policy that might divert
attention from pressing problems that
confront the people of our own state
or that might distract and divide tho
army of reform. In the contest about
TO open we are concerned only as
Pennsylvanians and for the good of
Pennsylvania"

gone to Joliet to practice law and his
partner was interested in some stone
quarries. The partner died suddenly,
leaving some contracts that had to be
filled and naturally McClaughery took
up the work, tho without any knowl-
edge of the stone business. He then
learned of the probability of a demand
for stone for the Iowa capitol and drift

many years and finally was made war

become recognized as one of the best.
He read before the conference a
thoughtful paper on the subject of
prison discipline and its purposes.
There will be no formal entertain
ment for the prisoners in the Fort Mad

Jones gave the prisoners fine enter
tainment on Decoration day but they
have become so used to the formal en-
tertainments that it did not seem to in
terest the men greatly. This year on
the national holiday the men of TIM
prison will be given the freedom of the
yard to do as they please all day. This
will be appreciated better by them than
to have an entertainment.
